Chapter 1680: Chapter 318: War God Ian!
The light dissipated.
The Silver Sky Gateway gradually came to a halt from its previous boiling rotation, and the almost-burning Aether Sea too slowly calmed down, allowing all the powerhouses who fixed their gaze on this place to discern reality from illusion.
The Dark Gold Colossus Dragon within the beam appeared once again before everyone, and this time, there was but one question in the hearts of all who watched this scene.
âWhat kind of person was Mahdi Ravine in his past life?
Why did he resonate with the Silver Sky Gateway and trigger such a colossal change?
To confess, even on Terra, the kind of mindset labeled as âchuunibyouâ is indispensable, and itâs even more prevalent on Terra itself.
Among them, those who consider their destiny extraordinary, not just in this life but also believing their past lives to be that of great people or saints, are not uncommon.
Spirit Energy Users willing to come to the City of Knowledge, especially the Chosen Ones, are particularly so. If it werenât for Kerraith revealing his vile intent in the Eternal Path, in reality, many would be willing to be tested by the Silver Sky Gateway to see what grand achievements they had in the past life, so as to have forged their current selves.
Yet, even the most arrogant, the most self-important person could never imagine that someone actually traced back to their past life, stirring the entire City of Knowledge, even the tempest in West Terra!
"What on earth was that commotion..."
Count Koma couldnât help but step forward; he opened his eyes wide, straining to gaze at the scene of the Silver Sky Gateway in the distance. With the strength of the Fourth Energy Level, he could completely comprehend what the tremor of the Aether Sea just now represented... Even for a Fifth Energy Level battle, stirring the energy sea of the entire Starfield is a difficult task.
Yet just now, Mahdi accomplished this!
âWas his past life someone who saved the world? Or someone who destroyed it?
The number of people harboring similar thoughts is countless, especially since Mahdi previously revealed the Arcane Pathway. Everyone present, even his enemies, had no doubts about the Knightâs abilities.
And now, they all wondered... Did Mahdi, who caused such a significant upheaval, acquire substantial benefits from the Silver Sky Gateway?
Of course, he did.
The Silver Sky Gateway that traces back past lives, even without Kerraithâs Path, allows people to better grasp their Spirit Energy. If fortunate, one might even learn techniques from their past life that they havenât yet mastered, as if they personally experienced and learned it.
If the power of the past life far surpassed the present, those who are traced back might even grasp corresponding sublimation knowledge in advance, ushering in a period of rapid enhancement.
And Ian, even more so.
The benefits he received far exceeded what others could imagine.
Inside the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, Ian closed his eyes, and the gem of the Guiding Star on his forehead shone one by one, forming a small âringâ.
At this moment, the entire crown had almost become substantial, becoming an Aether entity.
As Ian used the Guiding Star to trace countless fragments of past failures, he also saw the original âselfâ... And the Guiding Star also used the power of the Silver Sky Gateway to reinforce itself.
First, the ability âMemory Inscriptionâ was activated. As of now, Ian has mastered abilities related to âReincarnationâ and can perform reincarnation himself after a certain period of preparation.
Of course, with Ianâs current abilities, even if reincarnated, not much core information could be inherited; the next generation of Ian might only grasp some basic abilities and at least require the Fifth Energy Level to give the next life the same starting point as the current one.
Nevertheless, this ability is not very important to Ian, as he does not believe he will fail hereâhe does not believe he will lose.
Even if the power of reincarnation can allow him to lose countless times, Ian doesnât want to lose even once.
Secondly, the Guiding Starâs ability to connect with parallel worlds has been enhanced once more.
And this enhancement... is quite interesting.
Simply put, Ian can spend a massive amount of Aether to call forth a fragment of himself from some parallel space-time through the Guiding Starâspecifically who, currently, with Ianâs strength, cannot be designated, and their power is linked to Ianâs current power.
The Ian fragment summoned, similar to an Aether True Body, disappears when heavily damaged, but before disappearing, possesses full strength.
Simply put, now Ian can call on another self to gang up on others!
This is different from previously using the Dao Path of the Swarm and the Spirit Disaster Path in the Spirit World to fight The Last Echo, for that was mere imagination, and this time, Ian can bring out the Dao Path of the Swarm into the material world in actuality! He just needs to be lucky!
As for calling one or many... usually, only one can be called, after all, Ianâs energy is limited, and only by preparing a large amount of Origin Quality in his territory beforehand could he possibly summon one or two more.
With this, not to mention War God Ian, even the forbidden fourfold Ian might be achievable!
This is the hard strength enhancement that the Silver Sky Gatewayâs tracing brought to Ian...Just this improvement alone makes his risk to reach into the fire worth it.
And the intangible benefits are even more.
This timeâs tracing clearly allowed Ian to see the true form of the Guiding Star, the âReincarnation Ringâ, a space-time structure built from countless past failures.
There, Ian saw many warnings left for him by the failed Ians and the reasons for past failures.
