Upon leaving the Subspace Labyrinth and arriving at the third layer, Ian had organized all his gains clearly.
First was the authority of the Exotic Species Research Institute.
With this authority, Ian could seal all kinds of experimental facilities within the subspace, hiding them deep in the Domain of Void. Even a Fifth Energy Level powerhouse would need considerable time to search them one by one. Let’s not even discuss if they could find them; even if they could, they couldn’t possibly linger under the pressure of Canaan Moore.
And Ian’s ally in Canaan Moore, Anfa, was on the victorious side of this half-month operation and had inherited the Blazing Suspended Star Dragon, making it likely that she could become a new Master Throne of Canaan Moore in the future. By that time, with Golan, who had reclaimed the Campari Master Throne, Canaan Moore would have three Master Thrones, comparable to The Empire, making it the most powerful force on the Terra Continent.
Of course, this would take time. Presently, Canaan Moore only has one Master Throne, which could ensure its interests but not expand externally.
Ian could grant the authority of the Subspace Labyrinth to Anfa, just like he granted the authority of the South Sea Great Labyrinth to Shasha, allowing Anfa to become the Labyrinth Master, replacing him to develop and maintain the Exotic Species Research Institute.
This labyrinth, containing the finest research data from the ancient civilization, would ultimately serve Ian.
Next, it was the Body of Light.
Aether Body, Ether Phase Transfer, Void Jump... parts of the Rites of the Star Gods, possessing various strange abilities. Without discussing other functions, Ian could separate into two bodies, extracting the Ian identity, while his Mahdi identity could reach Dragon Island, all thanks to this fragment of the Rites of the Star Gods.
Furthermore, the Ether Phase Transfer ability allowed Ian to endure more damage... Otherwise, the gravity wave Dragon Breath of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon might have really killed him.
Following that was the body of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon.
As a Fourth Level Locksteel Dragon Body, the strength of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon was immensely powerful. Although a part was destroyed by Axel’s probing attack, the truly crucial internal organs remained intact.
Dragon Island should have the technology to repair it. If not, Ian could decompose it as raw material for his Fourth Energy Level Magic Potion.
How could a Glintstone Armor Dragon or a Silverfrost Dragon compare to a True Dragon Locksteel Dragon? This is entirely the highest level configuration!
And countless other intangible benefits exist.
The power leaking from the Source of Dragon Blood had even partially restored the Dragon Heart Core, which was why Ian could barely keep up with the power of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon. The Dragon Heart Core, paired with the Aether Crystal, had already allowed him to possess some Fourth Level energy ahead of time. Read full story at novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Then, he discovered the true power of his Heart Light Body ’Guiding Star’, operating more fluidly and harmoniously.
Not to mention the guidance brought by the fourth tier of earth ’Star Extinguishment’, which allowed him to understand more clearly the problems facing the Terra Starfield.
It’s not the size of the problem that’s scary, it’s not knowing—failure doesn’t matter; what is terrifying is not knowing who the enemy is.
Understanding all this, Ian, who reshaped his body with Uncorrodable Ice, finally had time to calmly analyze the final component of the Rites of the Star Gods, the abilities of the ’Soul of Origin’.
[Soul Materialization] [Star Soul] [Spirit-Made Objects] [Immortal Essence]
These are the powers possessed by the Soul of Origin.
The first, Soul Materialization, as the name suggests, allows the Soul of Origin to give the bearer’s soul certain physical characteristics, reaching the pinnacle, it can operate based on the soul itself, manipulate natural Origin Quality and Spirit Energy Field, and exert incredible power. In other words, this is the legitimate path of the Fae lineage.
The second, Star Soul, is a peculiar trait similar to the Dragon Soul, capable of arbitrarily splitting into many parts while maintaining unity in a complete consciousness—this relies on Aether as well as the stellar subspace communication ability. Ian could even send parts of his soul five light-years away while maintaining communication.
The third, Spirit-Made Objects... this is quite peculiar; Ian could sense that his ability to attach his soul onto the Uncorrodable Ice like a Fae was due to this ability.
He can use his soul to shape some objects. Should Soul Materialization be combined, Ian could even convert his soul into an entity similar to the Dragon Crystal of the Blazing Suspended Star Dragon—a solidified soul calculation device.
At that point, Ian’s computational power would reach a qualitative leap, and it seems the Meditation Technique complements this ability. As long as he continues practicing the Meditation Technique, he can engrave more computational circuits on his increasingly solid soul!
But this needs verification; Ian currently has no time to confirm in detail.
As for the last one, Immortal Essence. This is the simplest... Under the transformation of the Soul of Origin, Ian’s soul would no longer erode due to time, and general mental attacks and mind rewriting would have no effect on Ian.
The reason Echo could maintain its full and complete state for sixteen hundred years, not vanishing due to self-dissipation, was not only because it is a form of informational life but also due to the protection of the Soul of Origin.
Otherwise, it would lose some memories, and the transformation of its thinking pattern would be more extreme.
In summary, to synthesize it all.
The Rites of the Star Gods directly grants one powerful information-searching capabilities, strong Iron Force and control over the Origin Structure, while Aetherization, Void Jump, Soul Materialization, and Spirit-Made Objects also are extremely powerful forces.
