Chapter 1716: Chapter 329: The Truth of the Cradle Project (Part 2)
[Only the Glorious Sword is our kin]
The Huai Guang Swarm said: [The Glorious Sword once faced bandits driving magical beasts to attack villages, using himself as bait to lead the beast horde away... Yuguang and Yingguang are both disciples of a Bishop; they are still alive, possessing noble morals and potential. They do not need to become āHuai Guangā to become āTerra People,ā so we will not consider them our kin]
[However, if they are willing before their death, we will accept them]
"And then thereās Bishop White Mist..."
Ian contemplated, realizing that his growth trajectory had always been observed by Huai Guang, which explained why they understood him so well: "What about my brother? According to Bishop White Mist, my brother very much meets your standards, and could even be considered a genius..."
[Just as you see]
The Huai Guang Swarm said: [The initial Huai Guang was an existence called Photosymbiotic Fungus, which was originally part of the path to sublimation intended to transform humans, a prototype of the earliest Magic Potion... It was just that humanity of that time couldnāt bear the transformation of the light element in body and soul, thus creating a crisis]
[Now, we have transformed into another kind of aether entity that transcends material, but the original Photosymbiotic Fungus body also underwent improvements. It is the prototype of our Huai Guang sublimation pathās āMagic Potionā]
[Your brother has an added advantage in accepting the Photosymbiotic Fungus; he awakened spiritual power at a young age, his mind is pure, and his foundation is good...]
[To speak of it, it is quite peculiar]
At this point, the Twin Pontiffs, deep in thought, said: [Your and your brotherās spirit energy is very similar to ours... could it be the same? But even more powerful and mature... or has it diverged into different branches]
Huai Guangās prophecy can observe the entire continent, the trend of the entire human race, while Ianās spirit energy observes subtle changes in places he has seen, every change and reversal of opportunity.
"Haha, maybe it is the same thing."
Ian thought of the Guiding Star, then of Kerraithās Eternal Path, and he couldnāt help but laugh dryly, then muttered in his heart: (Could it be that, in some life, I did what Kerraith couldnāt and really combined all the spirit energy of everyone in the world to create the Guiding Star?)
Itās probably not the spirit energy of everyone in the world, but at least the strongest and most critical energies were fused, such as the Twin Pontiffsā Foresight View and Retrospective World, and Kerraithās True Sight... wow, my parallel self sure is a troublemaker!
After calming himself, Ian said: "Are you planning to fully support me?"
[Itās not considered support]
The Swarm said: [We can only say, weāre doing what weāve always been doing]
[Maintaining stability in certain areas, ensuring the safety of local residents, and if there is a serious calamity, we will solve it... Of course, if itās a foreign invasion, we will only protect the local civilians who swear not to participate in the war]
[What we will do is actually quite simple... if you die, we will maintain the order of the Silverpeak Domain, allowing your successor to assume power]
Though the mention of "if you die" was a bit uncomfortable, quickly, Ian noticed a key point: "Wait, does that mean, after Yinaiga II died in the Dark Moon chaos..."
The Swarm didnāt answer, but that was the best answer.
The Swarm wouldnāt lie; the Swarm could only remain silent.
"Thatās good."
Ian felt reassured: "Later, in Xiahui City, my Fairy Body will find the Glorious Sword and point out my future successor to himāif I die, itās highly likely Yisen will also die, and in that case, the first would be Scott, then Adalbert, and if possible, you can also educate my brother Elan."
[Thereās no need to state your last wishes now; you probably have a long time to live. According to your Arcane Pathway, you might be one of the strongest to live over two hundred years. This lengthy time should be enough to establish order, if this world lasts that long]
The Huai Guang Swarm also seemed a bit awkward: [However, weāve noted it down]
At this moment, Ian and the others moved forward along the Cast Light Road, their pace far exceeding imagination. On this sacred path, each step they took equaled thousands of previous ones.
Soon, they reached the foot of the Holy Mountain, where many clerics had gathered around, their eyes lit with a white halo, gazing at the crowd with smiles.
"By the way."
Seeing this, Ian also remembered something important: "Since we can communicate mentally, we definitely donāt need to meet in person... is there anything major that necessitates our personal presence?"
[Although you may already know]
The Swarm said: [But as an acknowledged existence by us, we need to show you part of the truth of this world]
[Come, follow us to the depths of the Holy Mountain... regarding the uniqueness of your friend Yisen Gardās bloodline, the main body of the Thousand-Star Beast, that dark key, perhaps thatās the result of the truth we granted to Yinaiga II. We need to amend our mistake]
[As for you, Ian]
At this point, the Huai Guang Swarm paused, unusually showing a hint of hesitation, but finally calmly said: [I think we might know the true content of the Star Godās covenant with the Terra People]
