But it was far more complex, with cyan patterns spreading and diffusing over the head of the Void Spawn, drawing in the souls of all beings, fragnts of Origin Quality, and shards of the Domain of Void into its own body.
And then…it set off into the distance.
In the flas of shattered planets, amid the scattered atmosphere, in the dust where the crust and mantle dispersed in all directions, forming clusters of newborn asteroids—a behemoth devoured the essence of sentient souls and the planet itself, converting it into sustenance for its journey afar.
It fluttered its four wings, and the space-ti distortions unique to warp travel began manifesting around the Void Spawn.
It was about to depart.
It had already departed.
And everything that followed, Ian could no longer see.
Just as Ian couldn’t see how the Worm Nest transford itself, when the future self fully mastered the body of this Void Spawn, he would be unable to see the future of this ‘Path of the Dao’.
He had beco the ‘Spirit Disaster’.
Ian stared blankly at this harbinger fragnt, his gaze stunned, with no thoughts in his mind other than ‘madness,’ yet this madness unexpectedly matched his true nature.
Rather…
It was indeed his way!
It was precisely because he had used the identity of the Prophet and humans as a cover and choice that the other forces knew nothing about this!
“So that’s how it is—I understand completely now!”
At this mont, Ian finally fully grasped the thoughts of his future self, exclaiming in admiration, “So that’s how it is!
That’s right!
That’s right, we can fly out!”
“Not just I alone, but everyone—all the people of the entire planet can fly out!”
The original prototype of the Deceased Monarch was the Spirit Energy Spaceship ‘Spirit Seed of Fire’.
It was a type of immigrant ship or spark engineered by Inega II, designed to carry the souls of humanity away from Terra, which was about to be sealed by the Star Prison Tianyu.
The design was perfect, the only flaw being that it was still dozens of technological breakthroughs away from fruition.
Inega II himself had solved so of these technological challenges, but there were still many he hadn’t solved by the ti of his death.
The Duke of Solin also solved so of the problems, but the most important ones—’normal light speed or faster-than-light movent thods,’ ‘soul carrying capacity,’ and ‘maintaining an environnt suitable for souls for an extended period’—remained unresolved.
Without addressing these technological challenges, even if the spaceship were invented, it wouldn’t be able to carry many people, let alone all of humanity.
But Adalbert’s Sovereign Technology—deriving Soul Stacking from Artificial Souls—solved the carrying capacity issue.
The existence of the Deceased Monarch itself was an accumulation of a Multitude of Souls; the more souls, the larger the ship.
However, other problems remained.
Ian felt he could probably solve the issue with the Warp Engine, but he had no solution for the long-term—almost eternal—maintenance of a High Energy Level environnt.
If he couldn’t solve it then, he might as well not think about it for now…
he would focus on developing his sect and territory first.
This was the direction he had chosen on this Path of the Dao.
And then…
he saw that dragon.
That Dark Gold Dragon that burst forth from the mantle and headed straight out of the Infernal Heaven of Star Prison Tianyu.
—Could it be that a being could, by virtue of its own power and with a spirit of no return, journey alone into the void?
—This…
—I can do that, too!
Shocked by the power and determination of that Dark Gold True Dragon, that path’s Ian probably made his resolute choice to follow that path as well.
The Path of the Dao known as ‘Spirit Disaster.’
On the Terra Continent, the strongest creatures were neither the True Dragons nor the Swarm.
To speak of pure strength, the Void Spawn of the Nightmare Project sparked instinctual fear and awe even in the True Dragons, becoming the epito of power.
Moreover, the fundantal strength of the Void Spawn—which could draw Natural Spirit Energy from the Domain of Void to sustain itself, even if it were just a ‘fantasy’—was precisely the ‘extended maintenance of existence power’ that the Spirit Seed of Fire project needed to continue.
Thus, as long as one could summon the Void Spawn and control it…
then transform it into the largest ‘Corpse of the Monarch’ to carry the souls of all beings, it would be done!
Even now, Ian could guess the process by which he would implent this plan.
The formation of the Void Spawn required the ‘fear’ of all beings.
And these all beings weren’t sothing anyone could handle; there had to be souls, whose fear could catalyze the birth of the Void Spawn.
Therefore, he promoted the Spirit God System, letting all the forces in Whole Terra help him construct a complete Monarch System so that every human would have a soul.
Then various Spirit Gods were born, becoming the deities of their own peoples, the protectors of their souls after death.
Because souls are eternal, does that an they needn’t fear anymore?
Wrong.
The Spirit Gods were not true gods, not eternal beings; they too would perish, they could be destroyed, and when that ti ca, the accompanying souls would likely be annihilated.
The fear associated with human death was thus extended.
Twice.
Humans would face death twice.
When the body dies, people will fear their souls have nowhere to go.
When souls return to the Deceased Monarch, they will fear the scattering of their spirits.
Moreover, during the entire form of the soul, the souls will fear, perhaps even more so—just as so who attempt impulsive suicide and fail never contemplate suicide again.
