Above The Sky

Chapter 2125 - 55: Wandering Terra, A Brand-New Path of the Dao!

In this regard, Ian doesn’t mind. Perhaps only he in the entire Terra Cradle can perceive the truth behind everything, relying on Star God Power and these eyes that can see through Endless Space-Time: "What we observed and saw as Infinite Parallel Space-Times were merely those derived from the possibilities known as ’the universe we understand’."

"Yet the universe itself possesses infinite possibilities. The ’infinite’ we know is likely just a subset of the fully universal Infinite Parallel Space-Times."

"One could even say our existence is a ’miracle’, a miracle carefully selected by all the original Star Gods from countless futures as ’the best future’."

"Dragon King, what astonishes me is the omnipresence of the Star Gods."

"What we call Infinite Parallel Space-Times are just tributaries, living tributaries, while many are without life, more primitive tributaries, like the branches of a tree."

"We see The End as the tree, then why can’t the Star Gods also be trees?"

"In this subset of infinite, in this solitary universe of infinite ones, there still exists Star Gods that transcend Space-Time, willing to fight for us insignificant beings who haven’t even surpassed the infinite, sacrificing their own eternal infinite life."

"Perhaps they’ve not truly perished—perhaps. But their willingness to fight for us is already a form of love."

The white-haired young man sighed: "And the battle between Star Gods and The End might be even grander than we imagine."

He spoke thus, raising his hand.

In his hand, the infinite circulation of light and void was gradually enlarging.

"Hypothetically," Ian said: "The original source—the point at which Star Gods initially came into being, the universe, was an incredibly powerful nuclear force universe."

"I use this example because it’s the easiest to understand, not necessarily fact. An incredibly powerful nuclear force universe represents extremely simple nuclear fusion, eternally emitting light and heat, endless brilliance."

"Just like the vortex in my hand, a super high nuclear force universe completely composed of stellar flames."

The Galewind Dragon King looked at the light vortex before Ian, indeed an extreme environment where the limit of nuclear fusion was roughly equivalent to someone snapping their fingers—it could occur anytime.

He couldn’t imagine any life existing there besides the Star Gods.

"What kind of creatures could survive in such a world? Almost none. Everything is flames, primitive power."

Ian gazed at the light in his hand, then raised another vortex, one entirely composed of void vacuum: "Thus, Star Gods created another universe."

"A universe with incredibly weak nuclear force, so no matter can form, a chaotic void of nihility."

"During this process, some Star Gods perished—perhaps they became the foundation of that universe. And this universe is called the ’Sea of Void’, where no matter can form, only mental will exists."

[Material Universe, Void Space-Time...]

The Dragon King somewhat understood at this moment, opening his eyes wide: [This is the process of Aether forming, the fusion of matter and Void.]

"Not entirely so." Ian slowly shook his head, causing the two vortices in his hand to flow together, softly speaking: "Look, a Light Universe, a Sea of Void Universe, neither can harbor life; except for the Star Gods, all is void."

"Therefore, they used this as a base to attempt ’creation’."

"Between the extremes of [existence and void], Star Gods created ’countless universe models’, expertly tweaking the rules of each universe’s model, allocating energy, determining the proportion of matter and void—eventually, they succeeded in creating a universe with life beyond themselves!"

[The Creator moved universal matter, creating the most fitting universe environment for life to emerge...]

Galewind Dragon King murmured, astonished: [It aligns completely with the origins told by The Creator; this perspective explains everything perfectly too!]

"Because that is the ’Sky Ladder’ left by Star Gods for all wise life—hoping we can also become Star Gods, rather than merely raising pets."

Ian spoke calmly: "All legends and history left by Star Gods in our universe might just be a fragmented view from us beings unable to grasp the infinite, a degradation of their true grand achievements."

"Or perhaps, due to a single universe itself, it’s unable to record the great feats of Star Gods, merely reflecting historical fragments."

"Just like The End, reflected in our universe, still remains fragmentary without any wisdom."

At this moment, Ian was filled with respect for the Ashen King.

The infinite circulation of the Light Universe and Sea of Void Universe created countless life-containing universes.

Just as the circulation of the Ashen King, the interaction between the material world and the Domain of Void could continually create Aether, sustaining the consciousness of Beings of Terra for two hundred million years.

The principles are the same: as the fifth stage of the Arcane Pathway, using the Body to create a material [realm], using the soul to create a Sea of Void’s [Domain of Void], imitating the creation by Star Gods, crafting one’s own [Star God’s Body]!

This is the true path, Terra civilization’s genuine ’Sky Ladder’!

Moreover, using the Sky Ladder of Star Gods, Ian saw the sixth, seventh, and even higher stages beyond the fifth stage of the Arcane Pathway!

"Light."

"Infinite."

"Infinite Light."

Initially ’existence and void’, the original source, Logos.

Then, Star Gods and Light Universe were born as one.

Thereafter, the Sea of Void Universe emerged as two.

The interweave of Light Universe and Sea of Void Universe spawned infinite types of ’Material Universes’ as three.

This infinite of three gave birth to today’s myriad beings across Infinite Parallel Space-Times.

Ultimately, these beings will all return to ’one’, even above one to ’existence and void’.

However, that ’one’ isn’t The End.

But the ’Great Aether Circulation’ as the unity of all beings’ power!

This is the fundamental conflict between Star Gods and The End; on the path of Logos, they are entirely opposed ’enemy paths’!

"This is the ’Sky Ladder Path’."

Slowly retracting his hand, Ian put away the ’circulation’, this truth only graspable upon reaching the edge of the cradle and personally forming ’Time-Space Condensed Matter’.

Lowering his gaze, his eyes moved slightly, he murmured with immense emotion: "As long as I have enough time, I will eventually embark on the road to unravel all these mysteries."

"Let’s prepare to return, Galewind Dragon King." He turned, ready to leave: "It’s time to head back to Terra, we have many things to do."

[What things?]

Galewind Dragon King, still immersed in the realization of the ’Sky Ladder Path’ hinted by The Creator, snapped back to reality upon Ian’s call, somewhat confused: [Returning to repair the cradle circling Terra?]

[Honestly, it’s merely locking oneself in a nutshell]

Until now, he was still somewhat discontent with the ’pathway’ Ian predicted, grumbled: [Even if you can connect to Infinite Parallel Space-Times, making the nutshell limitless, becoming the king of Infinite Universes within—it’s still far inferior to The Creator’s magnificent epic]

"Who said I just want to hide inside a nutshell?"

Ian looked at the Galewind Dragon King with some confusion, perplexed: "Do you not need to ensure proper sealing if you’re building a spaceship?"

"Oh, I forgot you’re a dragon, not quite understanding such matters."

[Wait]

Somewhat bewildered, he interrupted, until this moment did the Galewind Dragon King realize he had completely misunderstood Ian’s purpose of surrounding Terra with the cradle: [You’re not trying to enclose Terra, hide inside and become a Star God, then prolong civilization through Aether and a Perpetual Motion Machine?]

"Certainly not." Ian made a rare expression of astonishment: "Why would you think I’m that kind of person? Such ordinary matters I could conceive a million times with a breath."

"Galewind Dragon King, what I intend is to transform the entire Terra into my future vessel for exploring the stars, my ’planetary spaceship’—with ’cradle’ as the shell, allowing us to navigate the cosmos as an ’Ark’ without drawing The End’s attention!"

"I call this the ’Everlasting Ark’ plan."

"Of course, you may also call it ’Wandering Terra’."

"This is the ’Pathway’ I designed for myself!"
