Chapter 2070: Chapter 46: The True Pioneer

"Borrowing." Ian succinctly explained with the simplest words: "From the past and future, from infinite parallel space-times."

With the knowledge of the Star Gods that Ian possessed, he could affirm that the Aether Universe is, in essence, an infinitely vast Great Universe, whose nature is [Endlessly Eternal] [Boundlessly Everlasting] [Infinitely Ever-present], with its time having no beginning or end, space having no boundaries, and mass being infinitely mutable.

And such an infinitely vast universe also contains infinite parallel space-times, diverging with infinite possibilities and countless timelines.

It could be the choice of every wise life form. It could be the possibility of every different outcome. Every observation of a quantum leap. Parallel universes are ever-expanding, from the infinitely distant past, to the infinitely distant future, and even in the fleeting ’moment’ of the present, infinite parallel space-times are born.

Wise life forms live in such a universe, filled with endless possibilities.

They study, grow, and gradually advance, becoming stronger. They embark on the Sublimation Path, using Aether to alter the space-time universe, becoming superhumans, transcendents, immortal beings, and undying eternals.

And ultimately...

They become Star Gods.

Become The Creator.

Become beings capable of influencing infinite parallel space-times, wielding the universe’s highest Authority, the Great Aether Circulation.

"Though some Star Gods are stronger or weaker, all Star Gods are linked to the Great Aether Circulation."

Without any disguise, Ian wouldn’t lie to the Fae. He straightforwardly told the Fairy Queen: "The Great Aether Circulation is a supreme creation brought into existence by the life forms born from the Initial Star God, or the original ’Light of the Universe’. It is an eternal marvel, the armament of Logos. Subsequent Star Gods, formed from the ascension of various races, also became the enhancers and transformers of the Great Aether Circulation."

"Even with infinite parallel space-times and infinite potential divergences, within this universe, there exists and only exists one Great Aether Circulation."

"This is ’uniqueness’."

"The Light Element Furnace possesses such uniqueness."

Having said this, Ian gazed at the Silver Sea before him. Endless pure Aether was overflowing from it. Though its output couldn’t be considered high, the Light Element Furnace was operating almost eternally, without a trace of decay.

"Look." He pointed towards the light ahead and marveled: "This Light Element Furnace exists simultaneously in infinite parallel space-times. It is unique, a tangible infinity."

"Even in ten trillion universes, Terra is born only once."

"Even having born Terra ten trillion times, Fae and Humans appear only once."

"Even after the birth of life ten trillion times, you, the Fairy Queen, can only create a Light Element Furnace once."

"The parallel universes that the Light Element Furnace can link to are still ’infinite’."

"Because one ten-trillionth of infinity times one ten-trillionth is still infinity. And one over infinity of infinite parallel space-times remains infinite parallel space-times."

"The Light Element Furnace is thus an entity that, through fragments of the Star God, links to the Great Aether Circulation and gains infinite potential. It exists simultaneously in infinite parallel space-times, thereby possessing infinite energy, but its output is finite, depending on the size of the Star God fragments and the depth of connection to the Great Cosmo Circulation."

"The Aether the furnace produces is, in essence, drawn from other parallel space-times."

[Wait]

The understanding Fairy Queen murmured to herself: [But if that’s the case, and all versions of me across infinite parallel space-times were to run the Light Element Furnace at full power, wouldn’t everyone be unable to borrow power, being only able to use the energy originally within the Star God fragments?]

"When you attempt to define infinite parallel space-times," Ian shook his head and said, "they have already grown bigger and more numerous. Since there are infinite Fairy Queens driving it at full power, there are also infinite Fairy Queens conserving their strength. When you attempt to define this ’set’, it naturally evolves into a larger ’set’, no matter how many times you try to iteratively define it. Therefore, the Light Element Furnace always has energy to borrow."

"The one is the all, and the all is the one. As below, so above. This is the miracle known as ’Taiyi’."

"This is the essence of infinite energy... no wonder, no wonder it is so."

Saying this, Ian slowly stepped forward, wanting to touch the Silver Sea: "Even the accelerated resurrection of the Fae follows the same principle."

"These Fae Souls have now become anchors for the Light Element Furnace to locate other parallel space-times. Every Fae merged into the Light Element Furnace brings along their own presence, with their ’infinite parallel space-times’... the fusion of numerous co-origin sources. The speed of reshaping a deceased Fae is limited only by their own minds."

"And the Light Element Furnace will also expand with the number of Fae infused into it, increasing its immediate output."

[But the Light Element Furnace still wears down]

The Fairy Queen frowned and said: [It’s not infinite—it doesn’t function like the True Aether Furnace, a Sub-Eternal Engine that doesn’t wear down!]

"The same principle applies." Ian slowly shook his head: "The most critical aspect of all Star God creations is not the essence that transcends time and space, but the ’will’ and ’choice’ of wise life forms."

"Spirit Energy requires a sufficiently strong will to awaken."
