Thinking this way, Ian sighed softly: "Much preparation is needed if there is the infinite Aether of the Perpetual Motion Machine and the ’port’ from the other side. With the authority of the Rites of the Star Gods, supplemented by the Aether left by the Star God and the output of the Perpetual Motion Machine, I could truly glimpse the ’Great Aether Circulation’. "

Of course, without relying on the Perpetual Motion Machine, Ian can also try with enough energy reserves, but not now.

Now, he must go to the Domain of Void to greet the Fairy Queen, who has no sense of time, and a powerful Voidrealm Machine God.

Domain of Void.

A while ago, when Lord Ian was in contact with Carlos, Fairy Ian and Adalbert stood atop the Silverpeak in the Domain of Void.

Since Ian’s victory over the Ashen King, connecting trade on both sides of the Abassalom mountain range, his territory in the west links the Tranquil Sea with the City of Knowledge and Far Shore Island, and land trade with Whale Song Cliff.

The Silverpeak Domain, originally located only on the south side of The Empire, has now transformed into a major power traversing the influence circles of ’Tranquil Sea’ and ’Empire Plains’ with abundant resources and population.

As Ian expanded the Crystal Tower and the Heart of Terra to Lower Flame Domain, bringing ultra-high efficiency from artificial intelligence assistance to everyone, the ’Bright Void Realm’ originally only existing in Silverpeak Domain also spread to Lower Flame Domain.

Fairy Ian stood in the center of this Domain of Void, atop Silverpeak representing Ian Silverpeak’s authority, overlooking everything around his territory. Below him, the cities, having been cleansed of the filth of desecration, are gradually blooming with light, and the rainbow representing hope, dreams, and future is spreading, converging toward the heart of the nation.

"The Second World of the Virtual Realm is still a bit rushed."

Reaching out, supporting Fairy Ian, Adalbert’s expression was solemn. Sharing nearly the same authority over the Heart of Terra as Ian, yet never abusing it, he gazed at everything representing ’peace and comfort’, his speech still carrying anxiety: "The previous era’s civilization was able to manage the Domain of Void into a Second World because they had technology and also morality. To them, the Domain of Void was merely a garden for rapid communication, no different from reality."

"As for Far Shore Island, the dream world of Domain of Void is a pleasure garden, a refuge from the suffering reality... If everything in reality is peaceful, they wouldn’t want to continue ’living’ in Domain of Void, but would prefer ’enjoyment’. "

"Ian, the Second World of the Virtual Realm we can create now is nothing more than transferring some functionalities of the Pioneer Platform to Domain of Void—such as libraries, examination systems, training combat systems, and some experiments... But for ordinary people, they are more willing to enjoy in Domain of Void, indulging in the gourmet food, luxury homes, and various pleasures they have never experienced in reality."

"They indulge in the Domain of Void and will not build reality. We cannot abandon the future of Terra for electoral votes!"

The technology to create the Second World of the Virtual Realm has long been in Ian’s possession; the Pioneer Space is a testing ground, and any function within the Pioneer Space he can realize in Domain of Void, and he can fully replicate the functionalities of the Dreaming Device from Far Shore Island.

The only issue is that, even someone as kind and morally upright as Adalbert has to admit one thing.

It’s that human laziness is really great!

As long as Ian opens up enjoyment functionalities to everyone, the vast majority of Humans would likely indulge in it, and no one would partake in the learning, exams, and battle sections.

Pioneer Space is different. Pioneer Space is where Ian utilizes the power of his Aether True Body to screen ’those with potential’ just like filtering Pioneers, or in other words, those with ’self-discipline’ like Ian.

For these people, the enjoyment of ordinary people is the least interesting thing; only learning, growing stronger, improving oneself, and exploring farther and unknown places are the fun things.

This highly free Second World is suitable for the tested elites, they won’t waste resources, but if opened to ordinary people, the majority of them would likely indulge in dreams, unwilling to awaken!

Far Shore Island could awaken because they would be submerged by volcanoes if they didn’t, but other places in Terra don’t have such terrible geological environments.

"Don’t worry too much, Adalbert."

To his friend’s worries, Fairy Ian responded with hands behind his back, rotating the cross-shaped star wings on his back with a laid-back demeanor: "Opening the Second World is imperative, because only with full human participation can the chaos of Domain of Void be stabilized."

Since the Calamity of Heavenly Fall and the fall of the previous era’s civilization, Terra’s Domain of Void has always been a primitive wilderness wasteland, a land of wreckage or chaotic disaster. This is because the current Terra civilization has too few people with Awakened Spiritual Power and souls, unable to touch the depths of Domain of Void, and naturally cannot change the primitive chaotic nature of Terra Void.

The original Silverpeak Domain was no different, if not for his later proliferation of the Artificial Soul and the thriving construction of Xiahui City and Silverpeak Domain, the virtual realm of South Ridge would have been a primitive forest, not the current city groups emanating light and a steel Silverpeak surrounded by a rainbow of happiness.

However, now, due to the arcane paths and various nations’ New Humanity transformation plans, all Humans possess Artificial Souls, and Terra’s Domain of Void has already started undergoing dramatic changes.
