Chapter 2074: Chapter 47: Valiant Soul Path
But, such evil is also unnecessary.
Because now Ian knows more than those āpast Iansāāthe answer is no. Pure accumulation can never reach the infinite.
However, conversely, Ian glimpsed the possibility of an entirely new path.
āāFae are Celestial Deities, somewhat similar to Star Gods, spiritual energy beings, so they can resonate with the light elements and create the āLight Element Furnaceā for their race.
āāThen, can Humans do the same?
āāOrdinary humans cannot, but those powerful Heroes possessing their Heart Light Body, even the Aether True Body and immortality as Sublimators, those who have achieved great deeds and done what many others find impossible...can their souls also produce Primal Aether? Consequently, if their souls are thrown into a furnace, could they also summon āValiant Souls from parallel space-times that possess similar Heart Light Bodies, beliefs, and abilitiesā?
This is not impossible!
Instead, it is absolutely possible!
Because the essence of immortality is suchāit traverses space-time, searching for āqualified onesā meeting its criteriaāand Ian merely reverses this; he uses human immortality and achievements to call upon the strength of Valiant Souls from parallel space-times!
Thus, perhaps not only can āinfinite energyā be created, but like the Fae using the furnace to create Fae, humans can also use the furnace to summon Heroic Spirits!
The power of Heroic Spirits, immortal nature and belief transformed into rings, can even create an infinite furnace more massive than that of the Fairy Clan!
After all, Fae merely rely on their racial uniqueness to create the Light Element Furnace, while humans use greater, more significant immortality, walking the orthodox path...
"No, wait?"
Ian suddenly raised his head, thinking of a possibility, slightly surprised, "Iāve always wondered why in infinite parallel space-times thereās one of me who slaughtered everyone on TerraāI canāt be foolish enough to think that killing everyone on Whole Terra would meet the activation condition of a Perpetual Motion Machine."
"What does slaughter have to do with finding a Perpetual Motion Machine? This point was previously unclear to me."
"But, if, suppose, that was the possibility of a branch of the Path of the Heroic Spirits I tried in infinite parallel space-times..."
If the reason that āSlaughter-Line Ianā slaughtered all of Terra was to collect the souls of everyone on Terra, everyoneās Heart Light Body and immortality, and throw the Sparks of Thousand Stars entirely into the āHeroic Spirits Furnaceā, attempting to create a āPerpetual Motion Machineā of his own, unrestricted by the āStar Godā...
Then he truly dares to think and act!
"It still wonāt work." Ian also remembered that the Slaughter-Line himself eventually failedāsimple accumulation cannot achieve infinity.
A āRingā must be constructed.
A āRingā is an infinite unit, a āRingā is one with infinity, a āRingā is infinity itself.
Only, one personās āRingā, no matter how strong, is still the āRingā of one person, even if it possesses infinite energy, it is just the power of āone personā, still the average output of all the selves in infinite parallel space-timesāthat power is too small, basically like using a small faucet from a classic infinite reservoir, hardly helpful in battle.
Like the Fae, constructing a āRing of the Raceā and continuously melting those who donāt want to live into the Light Element Furnace can gradually increase the output of the Light Element Furnace.
But similarly, it will constantly consume the beliefs within the furnace. If the belief is insufficient, the furnace will gradually extinguish.
The Throne of Heroic Spirits, or rather, the Heroic Spirits Furnace is the same.
It requires a continuous stream of beliefs and wills poured into it for humans to have resurrection potential, to maintain its infinite output, and to gently increase it.
Such a creation Ian had already made a prototype.
"My Artificial Underworld." Ian murmured, "My [Heart of Terra]."
Yes, thatās it, the Heart of Terra!
A future that will spread across Whole Terra, accommodate all Human souls, contain all Human memories, completely gather all past and future information of human raza, and include not only humans but also all Magical Beasts, the heart of wisdom for all [mind] divine creations on Whole Terra!
The true and fitting [Heart of Terra]!
This is the ultimate purpose of Ianās creation of the Heart of Terraāeven if everything fails, Humans cannot activate the Perpetual Motion Machine left by Star Gods, there is still the āPerpetual Motion Machineā of humanity!
[Heart of Terra] will remember all wise lifeānot killing everyone and then gathering their souls into the Heart of Terra, to deduce the infinite parallel possibility, that too terrifying only the Evil God and Slaughter-Line Ian would doāIanās Heart of Terra would only accept souls who died naturally or those who wish to choose death into the Underworld, preserving their memory, soul, and personality as the foundation for summoning and the Perpetual Motion Machine.
Star Gods altered this universe, thought, will, and belief can guide the direction of Aetherās operation, this is the greatest love of Star Gods to all beings.
The difference between the Light Element Furnace and the True Aether Furnace is that the True Aether Core requires only an extremely pure intention as directional guidance, it moves by itself, whereas the Light Element Furnace needs self-propelled will, hence there is consumption.
The Heroic Spirits Furnace of Heart of Terra accommodates all wise life, it definitely falls short of a Perpetual Motion Machine but may not fall short of the True Aether Furnace, can even surpass the relatively low-numbered Fairy Clan.
Moreover, when the Heart of Terra is completely finished, even ordinary people can benefit.
Because, even the weakest, most fragile, most cowardly wise life, in infinite parallel space-times, surely also has an āpossibilityā to accomplish.
A Fifth Energy Level may be impossible, but a Third Energy Level, if given sufficient opportunity, is not impossible.
Yes. That āstronger selfā may not be the same person as the āweaker selfā now, just like the āpast Ianā is not the same as the āpresent Ian.ā
But does that matter?
Ian at this moment closed his eyes; endless thoughts flowed in his mind...day and night rotate, stars rise and fall; are these not also a āRingā?
The sun both rises and sets, both sunset and sunrise, it descends as it ascends on the other side of Terra, as its light fades so it shines brightly on the other side of the planet.
āIā am the same.
In the endless ring, āIā will fail, but āIā will succeed. āIā will perish, but āIā will be reborn.
Yes, that is indeed not the true, current āmeā.
But is that not āmeā?
Ian never dwells on these questions.
"The Domain of Extremes of the teacher may have some loopholes, but its overall direction is correct."
Opening his eyes, Ian now completely understood the mechanism of the Light Element Furnace, his eyes blazing: "Unifying Terra, unifying civilizations, gathering group wills, indeed assists in reaching the Sixth Echelon."
"But this help is not so easily obtained, it must be acquired with a divine artifact of creation like the āHeart of Terraā."
"For Terra People, Heart of Terra is like the Great Aether Circulation for Star Godsāand the method by which Star Gods upgrade Great Aether Circulation could be to absorb those artifacts of races that have ascended to Star Gods, integrating them into Great Aether Circulation, sharing mutually!"
