Chapter 2053: Chapter 39: Radiant Matter Furnace

The Fairy Queen can be easily approachable, like a sister next door, or majestic and divine, like a goddess among the clouds.

She exerted her power to shield all prying eyes and spirit energy, engaging seriously with Ian in conversation.

"You are nearly in dire straits now, apart from a few people, all the powerful beings in Terra World are interested in the ’Rites of the Star Gods’ you possess!"

The Empress said solemnly, her wings gently vibrating, emitting soothing tones, "Back then, Inega II used it to create The Unyielding Fortress, and collaborated with Hiliard in exploring the realm of the Sixth Echelon, causing all the powerful beings of Terra to feel a tremendous threat, which led to the Dark Moon turmoil afterwards."

"And now, they believe that the reason you can create the Arcane Pathway and open a new path is definitely due to the Star God’s Gift."

"The longer they tread on the Arcane Pathway and the stronger they become, the more they desire to seize such power capable of altering everything!"

"Ian, the reason I rushed over from Falling Star City is precisely to support you, lest some short-sighted Fifth Energy Level tries to take you on in successive battles to seize your Star God’s Gift!"

The Fairy Queen genuinely cared for Ian; she said nothing incorrect.

Ian exhibited the Star God’s Gift, revealed the truth behind the Dark Moon turmoil, and had acquired the Legacy of the Light Realm, drawing the world’s attention, appearing to hold a significant advantage.

Yet, as the Ashen King, cornered with no way out, exemplified, others still possessed the possibility of overturning him.

And that would be to defeat Ian.

As long as they could challenge Ian successfully and defeat him, all of Ian’s current successes and achievements would become their stepping stones.

"But this is exactly what I want."

Ian looked up, calmly saying to the Fairy Queen, "They can take from me, just as I can take from them. The Ashen King’s lands and people are now mine; I have confidence to face everyone’s onslaught, to take everything from them and turn it into my resources."

"Empress, I’m grateful for your support and coming over to back me, but this affects your neutral stance. After discussing matters related to the Domain of Void, I hope you can return to Falling Star City, so I can see who exactly is eager to make a move against me."

"—So I can handle my targets in order."

"Very well!"

Ian had thought the Fairy Queen might rebuke his recklessness, might scold his confidence, but surprisingly, the Fairy Queen praised him loudly, leaving Adalbert and the Colossus of the Void, transport tools behind the two fairies, momentarily stunned. "Indeed, as the elite of us Fae, you’re unafraid of challenges, unafraid of death!"

"Rest assured, even if you truly fall and die, I will protect your soul, sending it into the Fairy Reincarnation Pool. In one hundred and twenty days, you’ll become a new fairy once more!"

Ah, so that’s what she thinks.

Ian understood the Fairy Queen’s rationale for coming over this time—as a member of the Pre-Epoch Civilization, knowing the Rites of the Star Gods, she wanted to see what the restored Star God’s Gift was truly like.

Moreover, she wanted to warn Ian of the current situation... fearing Ian might impulsively expose himself, yet knowing Ian had his plan, she ceased worrying.

Finally, she had a fallback for Ian, even if he fell in battle, she would preserve his soul, allowing for fairy rebirth.

"Thank you, Empress, but I will not lose."

Ian raised his head, seriously studying the Fairy Queen before him. "But, Empress, if you truly lived from the Pre-Epoch Civilization until now, why haven’t you led civilization to develop, returning to the era of the Pre-Epoch Civilization?"

This was a question in Ian’s heart.

The technology of the Pre-Epoch Civilization inherited by Terra wasn’t scarce; all the major shelters had stable inheritances. Although the Lost Epoch’s war led to the decline of technology and morality together, if a fairy in the Fairy Homeland retained the Pre-Epoch Civilization’s technology and morality, then after the Lost Epoch, they could gradually make the world better.

Not to mention, the Fairy Queen’s authority is probably second only to the Pioneer among the Rites of the Star Gods, right?

"I have died five times, and the Fairy Clan has perished more than once!"

But the Fairy Queen, wide-eyed, complained, "Do you know why we’re called the children of miracles? Because we actually often face extinction, then return to life."

"When Heavenfall shook the void, destroying all Fairy Homelands at the time, I, as the leader of the fairies, died immediately to protect the Fairy Reincarnation Pool. Other fairies gathered my fragments, taking decades to revive me."

"At that time, all other fairies were dead, and I was the only surviving fairy."

"But that time was the Alien God War during the Lost Epoch, and without a moment to mourn for the perished other fairies and humans, I immediately went to the battlefield to control the remaining void defense systems to oppose the roaming Alien Seed: Nightmare Beast in the turbulent void."

"I defeated the Nightmare Beast and dissipated as well, the souls I divided forming the ancestors of the Four Elemental Fairies, Silver Fairy, and Dream Fairy. My offspring, spread out, continued the race, then revived me. Without a moment’s pause, I immediately led the race to participate in the war against Alien Seed: Void Devouring Giant..."

"Such, such things..."

Listening to the Fairy Queen’s brief yet detailed description, Ian involuntarily widened his eyes, feeling deep respect for the fearlessness of the Fairy Clan.

As creatures that can die and be reborn, favored by the planet, the fairies are essentially embodiments of Terra Planet’s overall consciousness, immortal and eternal, thus exerting all efforts to resist invaders.

The Fairy Clan, including the Fairy Queen, was wiped out time after time, twice even with humans desperately retrieving the Fairy Queen’s fragments to revive her; otherwise, the current fairies on Terra might be entirely new, without any memory or relation to the Pre-Epoch Civilization.

Fighting to the last, the Fairy Homeland had actually nothing left from the Pre-Epoch Civilization, just like other shelters, everything that could be fought for had been depleted, and with the arrival of the Terra Era, the fairies slowly recovered, but still very sparse, so the Queen remained in Falling Star City, allowing fairies to flourish.

In admiration of the fairy’s sacrifices and reverence for the Fairy Queen’s power, all Terra Nations hold deep respect for Falling Star City, and the fairies have become a free race, moving unimpeded through Terra Nations, without anyone daring to provoke them.

As a true combat race that fights to the death and dies fighting, the fairies indeed do their name as children of miracles justice. Their mere existence is extraordinary, without expecting these cuties to restore the glory of the Pre-Epoch Civilization.

"By the way."

Having developed a deep respect for the fairies, Ian looked past the Empress at the Colossus of the Void behind her, curious, "May I ask who this is..."

"This is the Executor of the Terra Void Safety Center, the Last Line of Defense. Greet him; his intelligence center is damaged and cannot speak now."

The Fairy Queen turned and waved to the steel giant, and Ian and Adalbert also waved, and the Steel Giant waved back.

The Queen turned her head back, "I brought it along this time because you mentioned wanting to repair the Void. This has been a goal of the Fairy Clan for millennia, but has never succeeded."

"However, due to the Arcane Pathway and the existence of collective spirits, the current turbulence in the void has indeed decreased, particularly in your Silverpeak Domain, where the enthusiasm among people has transformed the once desolate ruins into a completely new city and shadow of civilization."

"As the Fairy Clan, equally possessing the Heavenly Father’s Legacy, we will naturally support your actions, but I want to understand your specific plan to repair the Void."

"After all, even the Heavenly Father’s Legacy is not limitless; we cannot afford to waste it."

"Wait."

At first, Ian was nodding, agreeing with the Empress’s statement. But as he listened further, he began to feel something was off, "The Fairy Clan... also has the Heavenly Father’s Legacy?"

"Of course," the Fairy Queen replied matter-of-factly, "Why else do you think I appeared in Falling Star City at Starfall Sea? Do you not realize what the star of Starfall Sea represents? Such a massive crater, anyone would recognize it immediately."

"Our Fae ’Light Element Furnace’ is the correct application of the ’Power of the Light Realm’. One reason I came is to teach you how to convert the power of the Light Realm into a nearly True Aether Furnace: ’Light Element Furnace’!"
