Above The Sky-Chapter 1920 - 399: The White Prophet and the Black Sun

"Thank you."

Space-time distortion was intensifying, and Ian was about to enter the curvature navigation phase once more — he needed to catch up with the Top Seat’s Blood of Michael and Axel, then return to Terra, to declare an end to this massive upheaval.

Or perhaps the beginning of an entirely new turmoil.

But in any case, he was about to take action — all plans had reached the end, the Prophet was now capable of challenging any formidable power in this world, counterbalancing any major force. His Terra conquest plan was finally about to take its first step.

However, before setting off, Ian Silverpeak, heir of the Black Sun, turned back, looking in the direction of the Cradle Fragments.

"Farewell, suns."

"The current Terra only has one planet, it can only accept one sun... so slumber for now."

Then.

An azure halo lit up at the edge of the pitch-black star.

Immediately after, it vanished, leaving only the residual light shining.

The black sun transformed into a star, heading into the distance.

...

Terra Continent.

After the Solar War, the brainwashing that swept across the world was lifted, the entire world fell into a rather unusual situation.

Up until now, the ’knowledge barrier’ that the nobles and the Sublimators of the Terra Continent had been surreptitiously maintaining was broken.

Although Inega II’s mode of thinking and memory was external, it had always been fusing with the original personality, and after the brainwashing ended, before the memories faded, most people exerted all their efforts to document the information they most wanted to know from their memories.

Be it illustrations, words, or some thoughts and experiences — although not much was remembered, a vague impression of basic knowledge had mostly been formed.

Illiterate people, although still unable to read, had a general impression of words and did not reject books — they began trying to learn knowledge they previously found uninteresting or deemed useless, merging it with some memories they received from Inega II, gradually making it their own.

In addition, due to the spread of Arcane Pathway and Artificial Soul Technology to the populace, Terra was about to usher in an era of universal soul.

And the increased thinking speed and memory brought by being possessed by Inega had led to some murmurs in regions like Silverpeak Domain, Far Shore Island, and Holy Mountain, where strong Spirit Energy Users provided protection.

"Why don’t we also get possessed by Inega II? Even if we can’t remember much, it would at least improve our memory and thinking speed!"

This questioning, though concealed in the dark, was indeed on some people’s minds. However, according to the research led by the chief researcher Gu Ying of Silverpeak Domain, the enhanced cognitive abilities of those possessed originated from their souls and brain structures being altered by Inega II’s power.

For ordinary people, this was no big deal, but for those wanting to pursue the Arcane Pathway and continue advancing, these deficiencies, errors, and distortions would slow down their practice of Meditation Techniques and mastery of Life Spirit Energy.

Moreover, the danger of practicing Fighting Spirit Douqi had increased several times, requiring significant time to correct and heal.

As a result, at least in Silverpeak Domain, those murmurs disappeared.

After all, compared to other regions with educational deficits and knowledge monopolies, everyone in Silverpeak Domain had access to learning opportunities. Their demand for Inega II’s memories was the least, and with the widespread Arcane Pathway, and everyone practicing meditation and refinement, naturally, they all hoped to progress further.

However, in other countries, things were not that straightforward.

In places like the Azure Sky Royal Court, because the Old Khan lay gravely ill, the wolf-bloods returned to the court waiting, and the generals and tribal leaders below, losing oversight, began to stir.

For a time, many began capturing those who clearly displayed having learned ’precious knowledge’ from Inega II’s memories and took them away.

Under the pretext of ’supporting research,’ but how could those who grasped many tales and matters from Inega II’s memories not understand the outcome of this research?

Having finally obtained knowledge, understanding some truths about the world, and gained an opportunity to change their fate, or at least their present circumstances... yet the oppressors still sought to continue oppressing, squeezing them, and seize this dazzling treasure? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Suddenly, a large number of escape and resistance incidents occurred — because only the Third Energy Level could resist the brainwashing, consequently the First and Second Energy Levels could also gain memories and experiences, and given they already had some degree of soul strength, they obtained even more memories, making them more sought after by the higher-ups.

These individuals also joined the escape and resistance organizations, creating numerous disruptions and destructive events throughout the Azure Sky Royal Court.

Although it was indeed due to the brainwashing by Inega II, it was not directly caused by him but rather by the stupidity and greed of the Royal Court people themselves — this aspect was actually quite laughable.

But what wasn’t funny was that this issue was not limited to the Royal Court; it was just that there the situation was most blatant, with the resistance most direct.

Globally, all the Sublimators, or those who acquired critical knowledge from Inega II yet missed portions of it, known as ’Awakened Ones,’ also desired to hunt other Awakened Ones to gain the knowledge they sought.

The world began to churn.

And for those truly in control of the Fourth and Fifth Energy Levels, the research fragments by Inega II were indeed useful, but now it seemed all his research was essentially completed in Axel’s hands, with its ultimate outcome being that incredibly powerful force, the technology of opening his own space-time, the ’Lightforged Realm,’ to host his own strength.
