All illusions from the past dissipated.
Ian took a deep breath and started to laugh.
"I see, it’s a temporal-spatial condensate material."
Reflecting on the images in his mind, he murmured to himself, "It’s not merely a Bose-Einstein condensate, but a more complex structure based on Ether Space-Time—a self-circulating, pure closed structure formed by an ether field centered around a Dragon Heart Core in three-dimensional space-time, essentially a pocket universe."
"Light, like water frozen, congeals into ice in the Black Domain. If it were the complete form of Infernal Heaven, no matter the amount of light, it could be blocked; but if it’s a weak point like the gap in Infernal Heaven, light would accumulate, and any slight disturbance would shatter the temporal-spatial condensate there, causing the stored light to erupt, forming a Calamity of Light."
It must be said, the Star Gods’ level of technology is extraordinarily high; their manipulation of space-time is at an inconceivable level. The three-dimensional space-time itself can become their building material, no wonder they can construct universe-scale structures like a Cradle with a five-light-year radius, creating them by the billions.
The essence of Star Prison Tianyu is ’walls constructed from temporal-spatial condensate materials’, and a ’pocket universe’ has already been confirmed. The most crucial thing next is the ’Key.’
To open Infernal Heaven, besides the possible ’orthodox key’ of the Star Gods, and apart from the typical ’black hole collision’, another option is to use magnetic monopoles for cutting.
A magnetic monopole is a fundamental particle possessing only a single magnetic pole; simply put, black holes and singularities are macroscopic manifestations of a single magnetic pole.
This is easy to explain.
Everyone has played with magnets as a child, right?
A magnet and some iron filings—if the two are quite distant, the magnet cannot affect those filings, just like planets far from the event horizon of black holes and gravitational fields. They may orbit the black hole but won’t be sucked in.
However, if the iron filings come within the magnetic attraction of the magnet, the filings seem to ’suddenly’ disappear, getting attached to the magnet.
This attraction is so strong and so swift that it’s often unstoppable; the filings are instantly pulled away.
It’s just like how a black hole attracts matter too close to its gravitational field; that matter vanishes completely, falling into the singularity.
The gravitational field of a black hole is far greater and more terrifying, capable of trapping even light.
The energy generated from the collision of the magnet and iron filings is mostly absorbed back by the magnetic field, with overflow energy analogous to Hawking radiation from black holes.
A massive, sufficiently small-radius magnetic monopole is almost a black hole singularity.
And the temporal-spatial condensate walls can simulate a black hole, like a piece of ice that can freeze light, the strongest material.
Such exotic substances as magnetic monopoles are the key to unlocking the Black Domain, to unseal ’temporal-spatial condensate.’ Latest content publıshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Ian murmured: "On Terra, of the known pre-Aeon legacies, only the Imperial Capital has the conditions to produce ’magnetic monopoles’... and the Dragon Heart Core, the most complete ’Ether Furnace Core’, can extract energy from the surrounding space-time through the semi-perpetual machine effect, creating ’temporal-spatial condensate’ materials."
"Is this destiny? Everything intersects here, I am the Unyielding Fortress, I possess the Dragon Heart Core, I am the successor of Yinaiga and Hiliard, I am acknowledged by the Imperial Capital..."
"Thus, Axel is unwilling to let the Unyielding Fortress approach the Imperial Capital. He surely knows something, and doesn’t want me to use the Imperial Capital this way—he has his own plans."
At this moment, Ian closed his eyes and murmured in a deep voice, "This is not destiny."
The very first Ian, how did he discover these secrets? Perhaps he didn’t; perhaps he only grew strong, and as a Prophet learned some secrets on Terra but was unable to fully explore them in his lifetime.
Maybe out of curiosity, or maybe out of reluctance, he threw all his thoughts, memories, and experiences to the next version of himself.
—Whether it is me or not, regardless, seek the truth behind this world (Terra)!
—Such an interesting, complex, and astonishing world. I believe if it’s me (Ian), I would surely step forward.
Indeed, that was the case.
Generation after generation of Ian explored Terra, and the memories and secrets in their minds began to proliferate. They were amazed to find that this damned yet fascinating world contained shockingly complex secrets, involving not just the planet but the stars as well.
Thus they lifted their heads, looking above the Sky.
Seeking greater and more distant mysteries.
But it could no longer be transmitted—capabilities have limits, and the amount of information that can be passed on is fixed. They had to distill the most important information, find the most useful secrets.
However, it still wasn’t enough.
The secrets on Terra are too numerous; merely creating documents and recounting the past as verifiable memories already exceeds the limits of transmission.
Moreover, memories transmitted in this way are unstable, possibly forgotten, possibly overlooked, possibly losing the curiosity that prevents the ’Seer’s Ability’ from making resolutions.
