Chapter 1792: Chapter 357: Rapidly Growing Power
The Legacy left by the Qing Steel Dragon is vast, and within the âQiang Steel Sacred Mountainâ, lies the âCradle of Twinkling Lightâ.
The Cradle of Twinkling Light is the âSpark Preservationâ and âDeciphering Deviceâ separated from the Star God Spaceship after its fall. In other words, if the Spark of each civilization is a massively complex compressed file, the Star God System of the âCradle Seriesâ is designed to decompress them.
Among them, the âRepair Deviceâ and âPurification Deviceâ of this Glimmer Cradle System can even heal the severe injuries of a True Dragon, and Sioâs Void Poison was cured by it.
Ian relied on it to unlock the technology within the Sparks of the Qing Steel Dragon and the Icefog Dragon, which is also why the Silverpeak Domain has made such rapid technological progress.
Even with Adalbertâs assistance and talents like Roland attracted from the outside, the technological gap isnât something one or two geniuses can catch up with... unless someone like Ian unlocks it directly.
Moreover, even if ordinary people obtained the Cradle of Twinkling Light, they couldnât use it: Ian is both a dragon and a human, even a Fae, and is a bearer of the Rites of the Star Gods, which is why he could obtain permission from Dragon Island.
Otherwise, Dragon Island would reclaim such Star God relics. Whether itâs a Spark or the Cradle of Twinkling Light, after all, each Spark is the essence of a civilization, and revealing any of this could destroy the world.
So, when Ian learned from Afarâs memories that the Beast Kings and Beastmasters of the New Continent couldnât break through the Fifth Energy Level because they couldnât adapt to Terraâs environment and the Spars were unable to decompress properly, it sparked numerous ideas in his mind.
"Thinking carefully, those Sparks that advanced to the Fifth Energy Level during the Lost Epoch mostly matured in extraterrestrial environments. They left the Star God Spaceship, found a suitable incubation environment, matured, and then came to Terra, seeking things related to the Star Gods."
Correlating with various intelligence he already knew, Ian mused at this moment: "And these Sparks that fell on Terra can be said to be underdeveloped, to the extent they canât even discern the Legacy properly."
"The majority of the Fourth Power Level beings hibernate, hoping to grind out a path to the Fifth Energy Level over time."
"But how long that takes is uncertain... as for me, if my sideâs Magical Beasts master a Spark, I could completely bring them to the Silverpeak Domain to receive a Fifth Energy Level inheritance."
That being said, Ian wouldnât carry this out until he himself becomes the Fifth Energy Level.
Yet, such a future prospect was already enough to excite Ian.
Once he reaches the Fifth Energy Level, he could not only openly showcase his true power and accelerate the development of the Silverpeak Domain but also cultivate Fifth Energy Level magical beasts affectionate to him on the New Continent. The Empireâs Governor Bai Ji likely swore to protect the Empire because he got a chance to become the Fifth Energy Level due to the Empireâs assistance.
Ian could do the same, if not better!
"In the past, I might have thought, âThese are matters for later; itâs useless to think about now.â But now, itâs on the near horizon and planning begins now."
Turning back, Ian looked at Pipa and Big Iron, and those Magical Beasts filled with yearning faces.
Pipa and Big Iron, on a positive note, are pure and lovely, never betraying. On a negative note, they arenât very smart; they donât lack small ambitions; they lack the capability to support these ambitions.
However, this doesnât mean they canât become strong.
Pipa wants a stable, tranquil life, and Big Iron wishes to build a home of equality and mutual respect. These desires, in truth, are universal, but pursuing them with earnestness will inevitably lead to confronting the world.
With the willingness to confront the world, becoming the Third Energy Level is possible. Crossing the threshold of the Third Energy Level opens up opportunities for reaching the Fourth Energy Level.
Not much is needed; as long as they reach the Fourth Energy Level, utilizing the power of the Arcane Pathway, Ian believes that as long as no Fifth Energy Level emerges, no one would be able to capture them. Such strength is enough to make them Ianâs strongest allies on the New Continent.
If they evolve and transform in the future, becoming better versions of themselves with the potential of reaching the Fifth Energy Level, Ian wouldnât hesitate to lend help.
[Great Sect Master, we have defeated the forces of the Phantom Sun Country; no magical beasts dare to challenge us in this region]
After settling the Magical Beasts present, Pipa came over to report to Ian but seemed slightly uneasy: [However, Great Sect Master, the Phantom Sun Country is resolute in its stance against provocateurs. Having just defeated a Third Energy Level lord, next time, the Phantom Sun Illusive Mother herself might act... and now even Wing Generalâs Labyrinth has collapsed, so should we...]
Though unspoken, Pipaâs intent was clear: to temporarily avoid the edge.
After acquiring the Arcane Pathway and cultivating Fighting Spirit Douqi, Pipaâs confidence had surged considerably, believing that with continued cultivation, at least becoming a Lord would not be an issue, and by staying away from the Beast Kingdom, they could live quite comfortably even in the remote corners of the New Continent.
Yet, is such complacency enough? Pipa no longer desires the days of fear and subjugation, thoroughly agreeing with Ianâs ambition to âconquer the New Continentâ. Still, sometimes, idealism canât overtake reality; when outmatched, retreat may be the only option.
