So, we now have these simplified things, Seer’s Ability, Retrospection Vision.
With these ’tools’, Ian can get ’clues’ and ’information’ far beyond the transmission limit.
Not only can he maintain his curiosity and awaken the Foresight View, but he can also personally experience many clues, ensuring his original intention remains pure.
Relying solely on Ian himself would definitely be impossible to uncover the secrets of the Star Prison Tianyu at this time, to know the image left by the Terra Dragon.
However, with Elan’s Retrospective Vision, Ian can know the ’information’ from decades ago when Inega II and Hiliard opened the Infernal Heaven and took the Inheritance.
And by activating his own ’Retrospection Vision’ through the emotions in this information, he can see the image left by the Terra Dragon from sixteen hundred years ago, understanding the essence of the Star Prison Tianyu and the essence of the key to open it.
Ian whispered with feeling, he doesn’t see this as destiny, it’s a kind of inevitability, but it is the future he obtained ’by himself’.
"As long as I reach the Fifth Energy Level and the Dragon Heart Core is complete, I can also create the ’Temporal-Spatial Condensate,’ just like the Terra Dragon... Although the specific details are unclear, as long as I come back then to observe the ’miniature Infernal Heaven’ here, I can learn it eventually."
Ian doesn’t doubt this point; it’s the astonishing wisdom and the Rites of the Star Gods that gives him confidence!
"The remaining Inheritance; I’ll come back for them later."
Ian knows Inega II has already taken the most precious batch of Inheritance within the Infernal Heaven, but even the remaining Inheritance definitely has its value—and with his current power, he can hardly do anything to the Black Domain, leaving is the only choice.

And he’s not worried about others taking it... it’s something that can only be obtained through the Sunbird and The Unyielding Fortress, after the Imperial Capital manufactures the magnetic monopole.
Now, the Sunbird still exists, but The Unyielding Fortress is only him.
Since no more gains are possible, Ian takes Elan back to Andor’s side.
To this, the staff observing the Forbidden Zone also sighed in relief.
"I said, what can two newly born little dragons do."
Someone laughed: "Probably just feeling their breath is close, basically all dragon-type Magical Beasts’ instincts would do this."
"Yeah." Another shrugged: "But being so young and yet growing so well... seems the breeder who raised them is pretty capable."
Andor didn’t know he had already become a reputed breeder in others’ mouths; he was just calmly waiting for the return of Ian and Elan.
In the distance, other agitated Magical Beasts had already calmed down, and he was contemplating his fate.
——What exactly should I do in the future?
For some reason, the Elf Pirate Captain began to ponder the future.
Originally, he wouldn’t think about the future because it was a luxurious thing that only those with room and choices could have.
As a Pirate Captain, he could only take tasks, raid merchant ships, fish to make a living; if he failed, he would die, even if successful, he would just scrape by unless he suddenly raided a big merchant ship or obtained some overseas exotic treasure, otherwise, he would always be a pirate, eventually dying in storms or under the Elf army’s siege.
After failing the task, Andor had always been wondering when he would be silenced.
Be it the Ellen Family, Master Gossay, or others, anyone could kill him without repercussions.
After all, he was a captured pirate, an Elf, a person who knew secrets.
But he doesn’t want to die.
His reason for abiding Ian’s words, for not leaking secrets, is simply because Andor doesn’t want to die.
No matter what, as long as he lives, he still has a future. Whether the future has happiness, or is entirely painful, he still wants to live.
Yet, just now, he heard Ian’s planning for his future.
So absurd, he himself never thought about what he could do in the future, just thinking it’s better to live miserably than die comfortably. But a person who was once his enemy, whom he wanted to deal with and kill, a young man, was contemplating what path he should take afterward.
Writing and publishing? Returning to his hometown? Breeding Magical Beasts? Heading to the Xiawei Territory?
A stable life, starting a career, living without worries, planning the way forward...
Andor lowered his eyes thinking, a pirate suddenly seemed like a Philosopher when it came to issues of life and future—but he couldn’t get an answer, too many questions doomed to have no answer.
But, even without answers, when he saw the silhouette of Ian and Elan returning, Andor couldn’t help but smile.
When he realized he was smiling, this Pirate Captain finally somewhat understood...
Understood what hope means.
Understood what longing is.
"What’s up, Andor, why so happy?"
Back on shore, Ian curiously observed the Elf Captain: "You seemed quite sullen previously, didn’t expect you’d enjoy yourself privately."
"Anyone would naturally frown when there’s no choice."
Andor laughed heartily: "Being with the boss, anyone would be happy, right?"
Andor said to Elan, they often exchanged when Elan was possessed by the Crystal Dragon, considered familiar friends, and the little boy earnestly nodded: "Yes, yes!"
"Quite the flatterer."
