Chapter 2049: Chapter 37: Second World of the Virtual Realm

After hanging up, Ian sighed and looked towards the Domain of Void.

There, Fairy Ian was communicating with Adalbert about matters related to the ’Second World of the Virtual Realm.’

The acquisition of the Realm of Light Legacy was an unexpected delight for Ian in this action, although it was actually inevitable.

Ever since Ian learned that part of the essence of the Calamity of Light included Star God Legacy Force, he had been contemplating where the ’Star God Power’ from the Skyfall Spaceship would have fallen on Terra, and which force had grasped it.

He initially thought it was Embrace Light, but Ian wasn’t unfamiliar with the Holy Mountain—although Embrace Light indeed might be a potential ’Star God Reserve,’ the Holy Mountain did not possess any Star God’s power.

Then came Dragon Island; at least the Dragon Island Seal was absolutely created by the Star God’s power. However, aside from that, Ian, who also visited Dragon Island, indeed didn’t find any residue of other Star God power.

Although the New Continent has the basis of the Perpetual Motion Machine and various wreckages of the Skyfall Spaceship, no power was left behind.

As for other states of Tara Confederation... haha, if they had it, Terra would have unified long ago.

Unexpectedly, the entire Tranquil Sea of Terra, including the Realm of Light within, was shaped by the Star God’s leftover power.

—Because the crater was too large to become a sea, you couldn’t find the bullet anymore.

After obtaining the Realm of Light Legacy, Ian’s power also saw a wave of improvement. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

To say the least, at this moment, Ian’s inner ’Dragon’s Star Core’ storage rate reached an unprecedented ’100%.’

This is a ’full energy reserve’ only possessed by Dragon Kings who have remained dormant for years; usually, True Dragons operating in Terra consider over fifty-percent energy storage pretty good, while most True Dragons, even occupying notable mountains and rivers, with years of dormancy and storage, merely achieve about thirty percent energy reserve.

After all, to replenish energy, True Dragons often head to the vicinity of stars or gaseous giant stars; although Terra has become a Gaia world, it is not an energy base.

In this way, Ian, who has always had strong endurance, becomes even more robust in battle; other Fifth Energy Level beings, unless in their lairs with methods similar to Axel, utilizing the Imperial Capital’s energy, have no chance to defeat Ian in this aspect.

Furthermore, the pure Aether of the Realm of Light also makes Ian’s Heart Light Body, ’Guiding Star,’ increasingly sensitive to parallel worlds and even the Great Aether Circulation.

The pure Aether held by the Star God is very important for Ian, since all existing Aether within the Cradle is not ’pure’ or, rather, is vastly different from the initial Aether data, modified too much by humans and other intelligent life consciousnesses, making it difficult to locate the increasingly hidden path of the Great Aether Circulation.

The Guiding Star held by Ian can perceive the Great Aether Circulation that spans space-time, past, and future through the Seer’s Ability, but it is very limited—essentially, it’s just tracing phone numbers on the Guiding Star to find corresponding parallel worlds different from Ian’s ’Immortality.’

In another viewpoint, Ian is just making calls, not ’surfing the web.’ And in the likely circumstance where the Star God has recoiled Great Aether Circulation from outside interference, apart from the ’Perpetual Motion Machine’ used to maintain the Cradle, it’s probable that none else can ’surf the web’ in the universe.

But the pure Aether of the Star God grants Ian the original ’number.’

He can trace back this ’number’ and, through the Star God’s number, attempt to reconnect with the inside of the ’Great Aether Circulation!’

As for the significance of this endeavor...

It actually holds no significance.

If the Star God is truly reclaiming the Aether, preparing for a decisive battle with The End spanning past and future infinite parallel space-times, then linking to the present Great Aether Circulation would find no one—both the Star God and The End walk the timeline, and their battle has likely traced back to the beginning of the universe; dialing would certainly meet empty numbers.

However, Ian still wants to try.

He... wants to see.

To see whether the Star God has indeed lost, left, fled, or as he suspects, is preparing to fight back.

It’s just that the preparation time is too long for human beings, who are short-lived species.

"If Great Aether Circulation has already collapsed inside, it signifies the Star God’s loss."

"If inside is chaotic, with no one maintaining, and functions are flawed, then they have left or fled."

"But if... Great Aether Circulation is intact, only without the Star God, then likely, they are preparing for a counter-strike."

Moreover, Ian believes the Star God hasn’t left, fled, but is preparing for battle.

Not only due to the influence of the Ashen King.

Also because Ian has a point serving as evidence.

That is, he is recognized by the automatic authentication procedure of the Great Aether Circulation as a [Pioneer].

This function remaining operational enough proves the Star God hasn’t lost, hasn’t been struck down by The End, at most just ran away.

And considering the Star God’s ethics, Ian believes, even if they really couldn’t win and fled, they would leave a path within the Great Aether Circulation for all civilizations wishing and able to follow them.

"Perhaps, inside Great Aether Circulation, there are some messages left by the Star God, for people like me who want to go in and see?"
