Capítulo 1983: Chapter 17: Ian’s Declaration of War to All Nations

“There are many decisions where I only knew the outco wasn’t bad after the Prophet, so I gave ambiguous opinions, observing the situation unfold, and then continued to extrapolate analysis.”

“Others think I have great foresight, the strongest Seer’s Ability in history. You’re my brother, surely you know that my Seer’s Ability is just to see good and bad ons. When I was little, I used it to catch clams and shells more than predicting the future. We’ve had our fair share of seafood hotpots, right? You don’t actually think I’m good at catching seafood, do you?”

“Huh?”

Ian liked Elan’s sowhat stunned expression very much, and after laughing, he continued forward: “Don’t think I’m that impressive either. My mory is strong, but it doesn’t an I rember everything I’ve ever read. I’m always busy—where would I find the ti? Everything is scanned using the Silver Chip!”

Speaking of which, Ian pondered, “Speaking of this, it’s about ti to choose a day to separate the Silver Chip and leave it for you as a ‘Legacy Item’.”

“What? No way!”

Upon hearing this, Elan suddenly raised his head, looking at Ian with a bit of shock: “This treasure, only you, brother, can use it well!”

“Indeed.” Ian admitted frankly: “But this thing is essentially a Star God’s Gift, a catalyst—and I’ve successfully completed the transformation, basically achieving the ‘Star God’s Body’.”

“Plus, the gradual perfection of the Heart of Terra—at the very least, the Silver Chip has almost no significance to .”

The Silver Chip is essentially the core processor of the Star God’s Gift, with a powerful computing structure, capable of connecting to the Great Aether Circulation Database and identifying various things.

The latter was of great help to Ian in the initial stages; many matters, by relying on the Star God’s knowledge, were enough to achieve multidinsional strikes. It still is, in matters related to the Cradle and various terminal issues tied to the Star God, reliant on this database.

But this ability, Ian felt, wasn’t impossible to replicate.

As Ian advanced to the peak of the Fourth Order of the Arcana Pathway, known to people as the Fifth Energy Level, his mastery of aether beca increasingly profound, far beyond what anyone on Terra could envision.

His Guiding Star Heart Light Body allows him to enter ‘Aether Circulation,’ nearly inaccessible to everyone else, witnessing many green veins, known as the ‘Hyperspace Aether Tree Structure,’ enabling him to traverse past and future and witness various ‘Paths.’

Ian’s control of aether would soon reach the ‘Transcend Ti and Space’ stage.

Moreover, this stage, combined with the assistance from the perfection of the Heart of Terra, akin to the ultimate realm forged by Axel, seed to Ian to be the ‘Fifth Stage of the Arcane Pathway,’ transcending the Fifth Energy Level, embodying the truth of the ‘Sixth Echelon.’

—By then, my aether could perhaps directly interface with the Great Aether Circulation, and with my privileges, connecting directly with the database might not be difficult… Overall, the possibility exists; by then, the Silver Chip could indeed be separated and left for successors.

Ian wasn’t the type to hoard things without sharing with others; on the contrary, he generously rewards accomplishnts and gifts out what he no longer needs. For the good of his endeavors, he could even forego the Star God’s Gift.

After all, he has completed the transformation, with soul and body inclined towards Aetherization, he already is sothing of a minor Star God, and the Star God’s Gift is re embellishnt.

“You need to perform excellently so I can rightfully leave it to you.”

Pattering the back of his brother still contemplating how to refute his words, Ian smiled and said: “Maybe it’s Adalbert or Yisen Gard? It isn’t necessarily for you.”

“That’s fine too.” Elan, however, didn’t mind: “They are both your comrades and partners, fitting better than … I still have a lot to learn.”

Ian could vaguely sense Elan’s real concern was not about the Silver Chip being more rightfully his, but that he realized when he no longer needed the Silver Chip, it was when he’d embark on his journey.

Elan was anxious because of this, which led him to instinctively counter.

Ian didn’t respond to this concern either.

Because he knows, the desire to leave… is selfish to anyone.

No need to talk about friends and family; for subordinates, his departure as a pillar is a bolt from the blue—a catastrophe. Master Vanal’s fervent call for him to leave behind a successor was precisely because the departure of a ‘strongest one’ could lead to the collapse of order and civilization’s full retreat.

Without the Perpetual Motion Machine’s suppression, civilization might regress to the Lost Epoch.

So, is leaving truly necessary?

Ian is contemplating whether he can be a true leader, Terra’s reliance, leading the entire civilization away from the Cradle.

This is sothing Ian never considered possible in the past.

But regardless, he must train his brother.

Whether it’s for ruling as King of Terra or leaving the Cradle alone, his brother is the best candidate for succession and support.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Ian’s expression shifted, and he turned his head, signaling for Elan to find a quiet place. Though Elan wasn’t quite sure why, he still chose a sunny hillside where a protruding rock layer served as a seat.
