[This is exactly what I want...]
"You were originally supposed to regret, or forget, even laugh it off in the future; everyone has such thoughts, maybe just for a moment, like a child’s play."
Axel interrupted Alegria’s words, saying calmly, "I don’t regret it either, because this is what I set out to do...my Dao, my path..."
"But apology is another matter."
[Then what about Yisen Gard? The child of the little sister...]
"He is the last key. Let’s wait until the technology on the Ministry of Truth’s side is completely successful."
Axel’s form slowly dissipated, transforming into light, merging into the light column of the nearby Imperial Capital: "As for now, let him find his own direction."
"I believe the teacher’s disciple will guide him towards the right defense line."
"As expected, whether developing on your own, or robbing, who knows how slow that would be!"
Ian gazed at the crimson crystal in his hand, feeling quite emotional: "I’ve been saying, why on every Dao pathway my development speed is increasing faster and faster—because the later the stage of the Dao, the more people I meet, and the more support I receive."
"Relying solely on oneself, hiding away farming in the South Ridge is not feasible. Some technologies inherently require extremely long periods of accumulation, decades might just be the beginning, whereas with the support of others, practicality can be achieved in one or two years."
"Just Source Quality Calculating Chip..."
The Source Quality Calculating Chip handed over by Chairman Yafada looked very similar to the Soul Core of the Fiery Flame Land Armored Knight, or rather, the Constructed Knight’s soul crystal was originally modeled after the Source Quality Calculating Chip.
Ian was very satisfied, as it meant the ’Deceased Monarch’ series technology of the Xiawei Territory was about to make a leap forward.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the commonality between Echo and the soul of the Deceased Monarch can be understood, just maintaining such a calculation chip means that the souls of everyone in the entire territory have a home... an ’Underworld’ that can be maintained for at least a thousand years!
As Ian initially thought, on the Terra Continent, perhaps a whole set of plans for soaring into the sky, even for responding to various doomsdays, or for a sublimate revolution, had long been assembled.
However, due to the disputes and conflicts between countries, these technologies have not been collectively summarized.
If one doesn’t mind the time, these technologies will gradually spread within a century, after a few world wars, and with the unification of the continent by the war victor, they will completely merge into one, transforming the entire sublimate society into a brand-new Sunlit Domain.
This is the speed and pace of historical progress of any era.
But Ian didn’t have that time and patience—he needed to accelerate.
Accelerate the historical process, accelerate technological development.
He wanted to use his own existence to gather the most critical technologies and support from all sides, and then... conquer the entire Terra, gather all the key elements of victory, and then complete his ultimate goal!
In this process, he had to be perfect, gain the support of the majority, and crush all the enemies.
"I should go back and tell Adalbert this good news... and also."
Raising his head, glancing towards one side of the Ashlight Family’s corridor, Ian asked curiously: "Yisen, what are you doing standing there? Do you have something to discuss with me?"
A golden-haired boy’s figure emerged from the shadows, looking at Ian, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face: "I heard everything just now."
"You heard the conversation between me and Yafada? I know."
Ian had been aware of this for a while, but what he and Yafada discussed were not particularly sensitive matters; the truly sensitive information he had already shared with Yisen Gard, so at first, he didn’t understand why Yisen Gard seemed hesitant: "What’s the big deal about that?"
Taking a deep breath, Yisen Gard asked Ian seriously: "You said you wanted to transform the world."
"You said you wanted to be the enemy of the world."
Hearing this, Ian slowly put away his smile, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Indeed, I haven’t told you about that, but don’t worry too much, those things about the continent order, roots of hatred, baseness and malice within bloodline, are all somewhat exaggerated."
"In the end, all I want to do is to change some of the original morals and customs through technology, to make the world operate a bit smoother; for you, it’s not a big deal, I don’t truly intend to stand against the whole world, won’t cause the entire world to besiege me..."
"No. I don’t care about things like the world’s siege." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel[f]ire.net
Yisen Gard interrupted Ian, saying seriously: "How you intend to change this world is extremely important to me."
"The future vision you speak of, the ideas that moved Chairman Yafada, also move me."
"I just don’t understand why you, Ian, didn’t tell me these things in the past... was it because my strength was insufficient? Or because I did not meet your requirements..."
Raising his hand, Ian’s demeanor too became serious.
He raised his hand to stop Yisen Gard’s words, and slowly said: "Thinking carefully, it is indeed my fault; in the past, it seems I didn’t have much opportunity to earnestly talk to you about my Arcane Pathway, as well as my dissatisfaction with this world and my ideas for the future..."
"Yes. Indeed, I naturally regarded you as my friend, forgetting that even if we are friends, it’s necessary to share these views."
