Chapter 944 The original 'Ian' (1w1, big chapter, ask for a monthly pass!)

Ian didn't know Hilliard's purpose, he only knew that the old knight would always have a complicated look when he saw Isengarde, it seemed that he saw a familiar shadow, and he seemed to hate the creature People who cast shadows.

Based on Hilliard's reaction alone, Ian can know that Isengard's appearance... I'm afraid it is very similar to Hilliard's former lord, Inaiga II.

even……

"Artificial human? Clone human? Or is it pure blood inheritance?" Ian commented: "It is said that a nephew looks like an uncle, but this is a grandson."

"...Neither of them. And where did you get so much miscellaneous knowledge?" After Ian's interruption, Hilliard's anger also decreased a little, and he looked at the boy with some confusion: "But you guessed it is true. Wrong, Isengard's looks do have similarities with Inaiga II... Only when I saw the lord when I was a boy, can I distinguish it clearly."

Having said that, Hilliard shook his head.

He taught Ian some really important sublimation knowledge, and also told Ian many potion formulas of the true form of blood.

More than a dozen rare potion formulas, originally a wealth that a large family could hardly accumulate for hundreds of years, were as precious as gravel in the mouth of the old knight, but Ian did not underestimate these knowledge, he was hungry and thirsty, Like a dry sponge, it absorbs every trace of nectar.

"It's a pity. I knew that your aptitude and curiosity are so amazing. I should have told you this last time I saw you."

Before leaving, the old knight was rather regretful—in the final analysis, the encounter during the last big storm was just a coincidence, and he had no intention of accepting apprentices at that time. Now it seems... as evidenced by Essengard, the empire seems to be still planning wearing something.

And he is already old, unable to stop it personally, or even witness something... He really needs a young disciple to pass on his will.

And Ian watched the back of the old man leaving, he frowned slightly, and then quietly dialed the communicator left by 'Weggs' through the channel left before.

[Boy, I remember I told you, don't call this number casually...]

"The old man looks like he's going to do something stupid."

Before Wiggs pretended to scare people, Ian said bluntly: "Let me keep it simple - are you going to appear as the old man's benefactor or as the old man's enemy?"

【…】

Wiggs was silent for a long time, but Ian, who could see through the entangled mind of the other party at a glance, knew with his fingers that the other party would definitely make a choice that satisfied him.

【...I'll be right there! 】

Although Ian is one of the directors of the White People's Chamber of Commerce and the next generation of inscription craftsmen that Viscount Grant is optimistic about and cultivated, he still has no way to travel with the fleet of Isengard and Master Gosser.

And not long after the expedition team from the imperial capital set off, Port Harrison received an unsurprising news: the last remnants of the Sequoia natives were fully mobilized, intending to attack the imperial capital exploration team.

Behind it, there is even the shadow of another big force in Terra, 'Flameland'.

Both Elder Purdue and Viscount Grant went out of the city to meet them, while Ian prepared ultra-high-intensity cluster bombs and simple rocket launchers in his workshop.

"Even in this magical world, explosives will definitely come in handy."

This is Ian's reason for explaining his actions to Wiggs who came to him: "Don't you think it's cool? With your physical strength, you can even hold these high-intensity explosives to blow yourself up!"

"I won't talk to you."

Wiggs, who was wandering around, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "You said that the teacher followed the Ellen family's exploration team to find crystallized creatures... But that's not the case?"

"Of course not. At least such a small matter as finding a crystallized creature can't get the Ellen family and Master Gosser to take action, and it can't lure the teacher at all."

Ian shook his head slightly, he looked towards Nanhai: "Only the Great Maze of the South China Sea has this allure - they must be there."

It was at this time that the sky suddenly changed.

With the return of the entire ocean, the South China Sea, which was originally turbulent due to the storm, calmed down, but the lightning at the top of the sky became more intertwined like a web—and just in the direction of the South China Sea, an incredibly large hole appeared.

The door leading to the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea has been opened.

"How do we get there?"

"I have already calculated the scope of the abnormal area in the South China Sea, let's go, I have prepared the boat."

At this moment, in the darkness of nothingness, Isengard stared blankly at all this.

"That is……"

He muttered to himself: "I in another parallel time and space?"

"Ian from another parallel time and space?"

He could understand this scene, but he couldn't understand most of the phantoms before... Whether it was the old Ian phantom who conquered Terra, or the completed Ian phantom that slaughtered the entire world, they all gave him a kind of extreme reality, but It feels so ridiculous.

He knew Ian could do it.

But he knew that Ian would not do this.

But in the infinite parallel time and space, as long as "can be done", it will become "reality".

And in the end, he even saw Hilliard's attention to himself.

"Can the first knight live for such a long time?"

He thought of this, and his heart was a little complicated: "It turns out that in front of the old people of that era, my abnormality can be seen at a glance... Unfortunately, in our universe, the first knight did not meet me the first time."

"Otherwise, he should be able to tell me the special situation of the blood in my body, and even...can help me solve this problem."

Thinking of this, Isengard couldn't help turning his head to look at Ian.

Then, he was shocked to find that the white-haired prophet looked extremely ugly at this moment, and Ian, who had always been calm, clenched his fists and forced himself to be calm.

"Ian, what's wrong with you?"

Isengarde turned pale with fright. He hurried forward and sensed Ian's situation. Ian, who had reacted, sighed and pushed Isengarde's hand away: "It's okay... I just... felt it."

He said with a wry smile: "I felt the despicableness of 'myself'. And relying on this despicableness, I became who I am now.

Isengard didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the first time, but Ian himself turned his head and continued to stare at the flowing phantom of time.

"turn out to be……"

He muttered to himself: "Mother doesn't have to die, brother doesn't have to appear, Wiggs is actually my friend, even the teacher... can live until then..."

"I... in order to achieve my purpose, how many people's fates that could have been 'saved' have been changed?"

No one answered the questions of the Prophets and the Eternal Returners.

Light and shadow still flow.

With the help of Wiggs, Ian and the patrolling knight drove a flying wing ship straight to the South China Sea Labyrinth at the fastest speed, and on the way, they even got the guidance of an ironclad shark. The head shark is quite human, and it seems that it felt the breath of Hilliard on Ian, and took the initiative to lead the way to the sea area closest to the entrance.

This is probably Hilliard's 'vehicle' for moving in the sea. After thanking Shasha, the two entered the depths of the South China Sea Great Labyrinth at the fastest speed.

At this time, the situation has deteriorated to an extremely bad point.

Lurking in the labyrinth, the sealed swarm has been fully activated and begins to devour all that enters its lair.

First of all, everyone in the exploration team, most of them were eroded by parasites and painfully became corpses controlled by the swarm. Only one swordsman struggled to escape, but he still had to beheaded because of his parasitic arm. Gone is the most precious arm for a swordsman.

Then, there was the Feiyan Land Special Operations Brigade who sneaked in at some time—they encountered a battle between the local magic beast swarm and the parasitic beasts in the labyrinth, and were involved in it. They suffered heavy losses, and most of them were swallowed by the parasites.

Immediately afterwards, the indigenous people... the most important point.

He was not wiped out, and the indigenous great shaman fell into the maze with the fleet. He discovered the swarm and chose to integrate himself into the swarm—this is the ability given to him by the brain.

And having obtained all the wisdom of the native great shaman, and also absorbed the wisdom of most of the flames and the exploration team, the hive mother regained all of its own wisdom and strength as quickly as possible, and began to breed its own heart. Light body, advanced third energy level.

The only existence that can stand against him is Hilliard.

It was a bitter battle in the true sense. The Ether Crystal Dragon tried its best to fight against the hive of the swarm. Hilliard defeated its form several times, but the opponent was revived by the continuous leakage of the energy of the core furnace of the Great Labyrinth. Mist Bishop, Wiggs and even Patrick also joined the battle, but they were still unable to completely defeat it.

The crystal dragon died in battle, Patrick died in battle, and even the many demonic beast swarms in the labyrinth group were dispatched collectively to fight against the evil ghoul swarm that was about to devour everything. Even the frost moths and goblins fighting each other in the cooling room were all Join forces to attack, and then die one by one.

But in the end, under the guidance of the last brilliance of a goblin that had just begun to realize itself, Ian found the structural weakness of the decisive battlefield.

He used explosives to blow up the labyrinth structure, temporarily pressing the brood under the rock formation, and Hilliard dealt a fatal blow to the core will of the master of the swarm, and activated the cooling system of the South China Sea Great Labyrinth, completely eradicating the swarm .

This should have been a nice ending.

But after this battle, the old knight burned his last life.

"Ian, Wiggs, and Bai Wu...you all came here...It's incredible, I thought my actions were quite secretive..."

His body gradually stiffened. In the crystal lake, the old man shook his head with a wry smile, but looked at the dazed Isengard with some relief: "At least, I'm sure, this child is not an echo...you just have bad luck."

"What you got is the key to the most terrifying thing in this world, and the most glorious bloodline... What kind of person will you become? I don't know, and I don't want to guess."

"It's just that I have to give you another key... and give you another curse."

Isengard watched blankly as the old man took out a silver chip from his bosom, and the moment the chip touched his body, it melted into his body like water.

And at this moment, a pitch-black ring lit up in front of his forehead, and in the ring, the imprint of the sun god bird was extremely shining!

"Do you regret it?"

In the end, Wiggs supported the old man with an extremely complicated expression, and walked towards the exit of the maze: "Give your Majesty's inheritance to that child... To be honest, he is really indecisive, why not give it to me or to Ian. "

"I thought about it too." The old man said softly, "But His Majesty was the same... so gentle and sensitive, that's why he cared about everyone's happiness and created the current empire."

"Ian's talent is the most incredible of all I have ever seen. Even His Majesty has to rely on inheritance to do those exaggerated things. Wiggs, train him... he will become far stronger than you and me people."

"What about me? You have nothing to say to me?"

The old man was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I will not say sorry. Everything you have encountered is exactly what you should accept as my disciples. Whether it is death or suppression, it is the bitter fruit you deserve."

"This is enough."

It was obviously such an answer, but it made the knight feel relieved: "You have done nothing wrong in the first place, and you absolutely don't need to apologize to anyone. The reason I survived... is to hear this."

"Because my teacher, the number one knight of the empire, will never do anything wrong, even if the whole world is slandering you, the whole world is definitely wrong!"

And at the end.

Hilliard and Ian looked at each other.

"Sorry, it seems I can't be your teacher anymore."

The old knight said apologetically: "Even I can't leave you with anything of value, whether it's the immovable fortified city or other things, as long as you give it to you, you will become the focus of everyone."

"I don't care about that, you did teach me knowledge."

In this regard, Ian calmly replied: "I don't really understand those things-what about the Dark Moon turmoil, the legacy of the late emperor, or those conspiracies about the deepest part of the largest empire on the mainland... But I know very well that if there is no You guys, I just don't get these opportunities."

"So, teacher, is there anything you want me to do? To tell you the truth, I think I can change the world."

"Me too..." Isengarde mustered up the courage to speak at this moment: "I can also help..."

"yes."

The old man stared blankly at the two teenagers in front of him, some inexplicable illusion made his eyes dim, and then he laughed: "Then..."

"Then, go and change the world."

——Just like we did back then.

Light and shadow flowed.

In the void, Ian, Isengard, and Frozen Fish Instructor watched this scene together. Even the most nervous goblin was speechless at this moment. The red killer whale stared at everything in front of him blankly, while Isengard was also a little dazed,

"Why did you give me the gift of the Star God?" He murmured puzzled, "Isn't this pure waste?"

"So that's how it is..." Ian also muttered to himself: "This is the initial development..."

Under the witness of Huai Guang, Hilliard Lexi left this world.

Isengard chose to feign death and stay in Port Harrison, while Wiggs became a window for them to communicate with the outside world, obtain resources, and obtain various news for them within the empire.

Master Goser is Hilliard's most loyal supporter. He can even believe in Ian, the successor of the Immovable Fortress, let alone the immovable Fortified City right in front of him?He chose to hide everything and bear the 'anger' of the Ellen family alone.But what's 'strange' is that the Ellen family did not blame Master Gosser for the death of the youngest son and one of the main members of the family. On the contrary, Mrs. Ellen broke with the Ellen family.

Time flows like this.

With the legacy of the labyrinth goblin, Ian chose the goblin bloodline as his true bloodline, and he was gradually recognized by the Viscount Grant in the missions targeting the natives and Flamingo, and finally recommended by the Marquis of Barton Then he became a trainee patrol knight.

Then, there was a development that was very similar to the deduction in the sea of ​​trees... The mutation of Lai'an collar finally swallowed the entire Xiahui Lake area, but Ian did not get the inheritance of the steel dragon after killing the son of Lai'an. It is missing some necessary conditions.

In the process, Isengard also gained a lot of knowledge from the silver chip. He repaired many facilities in the South China Sea Great Labyrinth, and even restored a small equipment production line.

"Viscount Grant is pretty good..."

"He is indeed not bad. Although he indirectly caused my father's death, he is considered an elite among the nobles. It is proof that I can grow up steadily."

"But because of this, the better he is, the less he can live. Otherwise, we will be stuck in Port Harrison."

"I see……"

After gaining enough strength to challenge Viscount Grant, Ian returned to his hometown without hesitation, and joined hands with Isengard to seize Port Harrison.

It was at this time that Flameland launched an all-out attack—South Ridge fell into a state of emergency martial law, and Ian, as a patrolling knight, temporarily supervised Port Harrison when the local lord was killed in a surprise attack by Flameland.

This is the beginning of dominance.

Light and shadow flowed, and time began to speed up.

The rebellion of the mountain people, the all-out war on Terra, and the invasion of the demon army have not changed. Ian asked Isengard to manage Harrison Port as his substitute, and he went out to take risks and obtain advanced resources.

They have heard about the changes in Canaan Moore and the capital of learning, but they have not participated in it. The two rely on the technology of the pre-epoch civilization and the technology of the earth to farm at the edge of the world, settle down, and wait for their soaring sky. timing.

And then...there was an unbelievable news.

The second prince, Mikael, advanced to the fifth energy level and led the Western Territory Legion to rebel, and the peak of soldiers pointed directly at the imperial capital.

"Ah?" "Ah?" [Ah? 】

At this time, the three people who were originally in a dull atmosphere opened their eyes wide open, staring at the light and shadow almost in a daze. Mentor Dongyu couldn't believe it: [How did he advance to the fifth energy level? !Isn't the 'top blood' of the Setar royal family still in Axel's place? Where did he find the second sun bird? 】

"That's not the power of the Sun God Bird."

But Isengard suddenly said, as the only person who was qualified to say this among the three present, his tone was very firm: "Although I don't know, the power of the sun bird is more clear than his ...But it is still incredible, what kind of opportunity did he get to suddenly advance to the fifth energy level?"

"And, why did he rebel?!"

"It's a dragon."

Among the three people present, Ian, who was the only one qualified to comment on the real dragon, said thoughtfully. He recalled that in one of the fragments, he went to the ruins of the ancestor of the real dragon to find "clues". When I discovered the universe where someone was there first, I couldn't help feeling a little surprised: "It's Mikhail... Even the fourth energy level sun god bird can go there to explore!"

"He has already obtained the blood of the top seat, but he has been accumulating, waiting for an opportunity!"

Although no one knew why Mikhail wanted to rebel, but he did not defeat his father.

After most of the imperial capital was destroyed, Axel sealed Mikhail as the new energy source of the imperial capital in the deepest part of the imperial capital. Although the empire ushered in the fourth fifth-level powerhouse, it began to shrink in an all-round way.

As the victor, Axel also gradually stopped caring about world affairs. Even though there were more and more changes in the imperial capital, he never took a step outside the imperial capital.

Immediately afterwards, in the following "Great Split Event" that swept across the entire continent of Terra, the empire was no exception. With the eldest prince and the eldest empress occupying the north and south respectively, the empire was divided in fact.

And this is a good time for Ian and Isengard to act.

In 781 of Terra, the first year after the death of the Marquis of Barton, who was severely injured by the invasion of the demon army, the actual ruler of South Ridge became a young knight.

The flames of war have burned Terra, and there is no place to enjoy peace. The whole world is covered by a dark night called death and destruction, and no one can stop it by himself.

"so."

Standing on the top of the holy mountain of steel, the young knight who suppressed the mountain people with absolute violence looked at the rising sun in the distance: "We can be the torch."

And the blond scholar's eyes flashed with silver light, he nodded slightly: "It's time to light up the long night."

Knight Ian, Marquis of Silver Peak, Great General of the Southern Territory... In the troubled times, the young knight's name became bigger and bigger and more famous.

And the territory under his command has gradually become a remote safe haven. Refugees in the western and central part of the empire, and people who yearn for a peaceful life are beginning to gather towards this land.

Naturally, with success comes sacrifice.

In repeated battles, Ian lost many familiar people.

The first loss comes from pain.

Wiggs has always been fighting for Ian. At first, he protected the weak Ian and Isengard. After being semi-independent, he has been fighting for Ian as the head of the South Ridge Knights.

His body has long been damaged, and his life has been exhausted in fierce battles, and his final departure has long been a foregone conclusion.

"Ian, Yisen, you are all disciples of the teacher... You are stronger, more talented, and more future than me, so protecting you is the meaning of my sword."

Before dying, the pale swordsman handed over his sword to Ian: "If you can, please take my sword - I want to see it too, you go to build a brilliant and bright... as The bright era that the teacher and His Majesty want to create."

He leaves, smiling hopefully.

The second loss was due to natural disasters.

Perhaps it was because of the more and more frequent confrontations between the fifth-level powerhouses, or an unexpected coincidence. When the Nanling army was fighting with the demon army that appeared more and more frequently, a sudden ice storm attacked the entire Bison Mountains, and the army of Flaming Land also took advantage of the situation to invade.

Ian was dragged to the front line, Isengard had to deal with the sea beast frenzy in the South China Sea, and other strong men in the territory were also on their own battlefields, and it was impossible to stop it for a while.

Theoretically, it was the King of Zhenlong Mountain who did not need to take action at all to block the natural disaster and defeat the surprise attack of Feiyan Land, just like 400 years ago, the Dragon God of Steel Iron flapped his wings and shattered the disaster of frost that invaded the entire mountain range.

But even if it is a real dragon, it will not be able to please the elite army of Feiyandi and the fourth-level powerhouse leading the team. In addition, he still needs to fight against natural disasters. When they came to help, the real dragon who defeated all the enemies was already dying.

"If my child is still alive... she must like your territory very much."

He said softly: "If it wasn't for Feiyandi's hateful people...if it wasn't..."

The King of the Mountain gave Ian his ether furnace heart and core, allowing Ian to advance to the fourth energy level and become a real strongman in this world, the overlord of one side.

The third loss came from the destruction by hand.

"Are you really going to be an enemy of Canaan Moore, Ian?"

"It's not that I want to be against Canaan Moore, but you are against me, Anfa."

The friends who used to have a good time in Nanling became indifferent because of the early death of one of them, and finally, because the two sides expanded in the same direction, they confronted each other head-on.

Killing a familiar person with his own hands, even the increasingly ruthless Ian could not remain unmoved, especially until the end, Anfa, who fought with the body of a dragon girl, did not have any resentment, but was a little relieved.

"Why do you have to be a bit biased? You must be more accurate when dealing with other people."

Ian pierced her heart with a sword, and the green-haired dragon girl smiled and grasped the ice magic sword that pierced her vitals, and made it penetrate deeper and more accurately, so that she could better cut off her own vitality : "This world is really boring...Ian. At least you are still willing to go to war, to fight, to realize your dreams, and I have long since lost that desire."

"So... this time, if you kill me, your points will not be deducted."

go.Ian, live and make a better world.

What she left behind was the essence called Blazing Star Dragon—that was the mentor true dragon who guided the dragons in the ancient group of true dragons. Its essence, like the sun, guided all Dragons in the right direction.

At this point, Ian has obtained the key to reach the fifth energy level.

Backtrack, backtrack.

The light and shadow are constantly changing, its speed is getting faster and faster, and it is getting more and more hazy.

—Go and change the world.

— to create a better world.

——You can, Ian, because you are so powerful, such a genius, you were born to end all this chaos.

A knight holding a sword walks among mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In this world full of war horns and howls, Ian walks in this land shrouded in black smoke and thick fog. He steps into endless disasters and grief. Walking into the crowd of people, stepping into all the desperate and unwilling dreams, and raising the sword to all those who stand in front of him.

Every time he takes a step forward, he will gain something and then lose something.Whether it is an enemy or a friend, everyone has their own dreams, and dreams will conflict.

The two dreams collided with each other, and the sound of one of them breaking was the sound Ian heard most often.

He would rather not hear.

Fortunately, he still has the most steadfast comrade-in-arms——Isengard always stands by Ian's side, no matter what the choice is, no matter what the result is, he will recognize it and walk forward with Ian.

However, he also left halfway.

Scourge of Light.A disaster that had been predicted long ago, but because of the world war, no one could prepare for it.

Attacking at the same time, there is also the beast of a thousand stars that is gradually recovering.

The Calamity of Light is like a signal. Incredible energy washes over the entire Terra. Even though the most solid shelters and cities protect the vast majority of humans, the body of the ancient god that has become active under the surface begins to destroy everything.

The dark tide is simply the embodiment of destruction that devours the world. The endless black tide cannot be stopped by any manpower. Only the floating city and the floating land in the empire and the capital of knowledge can temporarily avoid this disaster.

"I think that's probably why I exist."

On the Quinol Plain, facing the deserted imperial capital that was gradually being swallowed by the black tide, the blond young man who resembled the great emperor of the past showed a somewhat surprised smile: "Perhaps someone has thought of it long ago, and perhaps this is the reason why my grandfather gave birth to me." The reason...is just that the battle between uncle and grandpa broke all the layout, making the disaster inevitable."

"But, fortunately, I survived and grew up to this day."

"Goodbye, then, Ian."

"Remember to live our dreams."

A second sun lit up on the earth, and the silent knight watched the sun sink into the darkness, like a sunset below the horizon.

——Is it really worth it?
At that time, Ian was so skeptical for the first time.What is the need to save such Terra?So many sacrificed, so much lost, the disasters on Terra never cease.

After the Beast of Thousand Stars temporarily fell into silence due to human will and returned to the depths of the earth, the war has not stopped on the land that has become a ruin. With the land, the remaining survivors had to fight each other.

And the silent knight held the silver chip, from teacher to friend, and from friend to himself, he became another successor.

The sword of Wiggs, the furnace heart of the King of the Mountain, the heart essence of Anfa, and the chips of the teacher and Isengarde... Ian has gathered all the conditions to become the strongest.

This is already a supreme feat. With his own power, starting from scratch, Ian conquered the entire Terra in Terra 815.

Then, for another long time, he freed a scholar who was nothing but a soul from the seal of the Great Library.

【parallel world?Yes, I said long ago that it was the only way out for Terra, but unfortunately, no one believed me]

The soul sealed by the guardian, who once intended to devour one-third of the souls of the chosen ones in Terra, and the culprit who led the demons to invade Terra laughed, without any regrets: [Just now, if you want to build a road, you can do it. It’s difficult, Terra doesn’t have enough immortal souls, and the demons are basically wiped out by you... When the chosen soul reincarnates and grows again, it will be dozens or hundreds of years, and your lifespan can’t wait]

"who said it."

To the crazy scholar's words, the knight only replied with the simplest answer: "Is my soul not enough?"

Hearing this sentence, the scholar raised his head in confusion: 【Your soul? 】

[Don't you want to build roads, go to parallel universes, and create a world you want?Without your soul, you are not you, just a memory]

"so what?"

Raising his head, Ian looked at the empty starry sky, and he muttered to himself: "I just found out now, it's too late... The real secret behind Terra, the truth hidden in the past, I never knew Missed it from the start."

"Walking on the wrong road, you can never get the right answer."

"So... I just want to prove a problem."

【what is the problem】

The non-existent heart of the sealed soul began to beat, and he suddenly realized that the person in front of him might be a lunatic even crazier than himself.

No, he was already crazier than himself—otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stand at the end and interrogate himself as the final 'winner'!

"I want to prove that there is a correct answer to all the questions on Terra."

Said softly, the overlord of King's Landing said calmly: "I want to prove that there is a perfect ending that can satisfy everyone."

"Even if there is no path to this ending, I will create such a path."

"And so I found you, Corizen the Roadbuilder. Tell me all you know, and I will make it happen."

【……good! 】

The whole soul was trembling, trembling, and the sealed soul laughed wildly: [Then come on, I will give you everything I have—whether it is the gate of the silver sky, or the method of building roads; whether it is the way of eternity, or my soul itself]

【Crazy guy, if even you can't succeed, it proves that my path is meaningless! 】

The illusion is still circulating.

Time is still turning back.

Pure silence persists in the void.

"did not expect……"

It was Isengard who broke the silence first. The blond young man smiled embarrassedly: "I was pretty handsome in the end? From this point of view, the power in my body and the key to darkness are still valuable..."

"To shut up."

And Ian said lightly: "It's hard to get all the way to the present perfectly, are you going to let me repeat the reincarnation?"

"And... all of this..."

At this moment, the Prophet let out a deep breath.

He stared at the ring made of infinite cyan light spots in front of him, and the network of rings formed, couldn't help muttering to himself: "As expected, are they all designed by myself?"

This is a web.

A web designed by all 'Ian's will' in countless cycles beyond Ian's emotion and intelligence.

They have designed every encounter, every separation, every opportunity and crisis, and believe that they can definitely solve them.

How arrogant, how despicable!
My mother could have died without fatigue. It was me, 'Ian' who needed a younger brother who could awaken the 'Retrospective Vision', so I delayed the awakening time of my memory to make this happen!
Teacher Hilliard could not have died so early in the first place. It was also himself who showed the talent of the prophet, so that the teacher who didn't want to stay in Port Harrison stayed here, fighting the natives and Weggs, In the end, he left early, leaving the inheritance of the silver chip and the immovable strong city to himself!
Even Wiggs is not such an absolute enemy. At the right time, he can obviously be persuaded to become a firm wall in the early stages of his growth, and at the end shed the last bit of blood for his dream...

Recklessly knead, destroy, and shape their possibilities into what you want; turn all past and future conditions into your long road to a farther place...

No wonder Crizen would worship him at last, for his wickedness is but dust in the wind compared to Ian, the most feared builder of roads.

Reincarnation again and again, traveling through parallel time and space again and again.

Only Ian walks the seemingly endless road.

The infinite ring is turning, every fragment, every reincarnation, every time it loses its own soul, and it shapes itself time and time again.

[My original character is still too dull, I need a more cheerful and friendly character]

[Earth has too many memories, it is not necessary at all, delete most of the subjective memories, leave the key knowledge and character formation points, and throw away the rest]

【...If Weggs survives, I will not be able to gain the full trust of the Marquis of Barton, and there will be troubles in the imperial capital...】

[I won't say sorry.I can only promise you that I will never stop until I get to the ending I want】

【forever】

and so……

At this moment, Ian opened his arms to the infinite ring, to the infinite self.

"It's painful."

He said softly, with a calm tone: "It's lonely, isn't it?"

"Walk on the wrong path, try and make mistakes for yourself, and pave the way for the future...Use your own soul to condense the immortality in the 'Guiding Star' that can communicate with parallel time and space at will...I said why the Guiding Star doesn't need to build The road, it's all because you have burned your own souls and paved all the ups and downs for me."

Ian's voice gradually deepened, and then he paused word by word, and said in the firmest tone: "So, I will realize it!"

"All your yearning and expectations, I will fulfill them all!"

【…Before you, there were many 'we' who said the same thing】

Ring, the guiding star responded, it was not real words, it was a response made up of countless fragments corresponding to the oath: [We have all failed]

"I'm convinced. I'm the last one."

Without the slightest hesitation, now, at this moment, the only Ian said without hesitation: "Every Ian will believe so firmly, just like me now, even better than this!"

【We will wait...】

The 'ring' rotates slowly, like a pair of eye pupils, eye to eye, and the response is almost undetectable: [We will wait infinitely and eternally...]

【so now】

[The choice is to start the 'reincarnation' now, or open the 'door']

A door appeared in front of Ian.

This is the door to leave the gate of the silver sky and end this backtracking.

Opening this door is tantamount to returning to the real world and facing the endless difficulties again—if you feel that you have made a mistake, or that you have done something wrong before, then Ian can now rely on the power of Yintian The power of the gate activates the guiding star and starts a perfect reincarnation.

This is the temptation to 'better'.This is the 'perfect' path.

This time, there are still many, many regrets that he did not make up for.

Next time, he can do better and more perfectly.

However, Ian will open the door.

To open this door is to refuse the 'next time' and use your own strength to carry out the 'this time'.For the sake of the present and the future, he will do the worst thing and the best thing, no matter how many times, he will act endlessly until he reaches the end.

Because what he was chasing was not the most perfect path.

What he wants is a road that can lead to the farthest place.

"I will not forget my original dream."

Holding the doorknob in his hand, in the void, the endlessly retrospective light and shadow has gone back to everything about the 'original Ian', but it is still going back, back to the older and more original scene.

That is……

Earth.

A child stood on the roof of the dormitory of the orphanage, looking up at the stars in the sky curiously.

Because of some kind of longing, because of a kind of emotion, because of all yearning, because of all goals, all shining in the high sky.

So, the child stretched out his hand toward the sky.

Just like millions of years ago, the ape who was still in the tree stretched out his hand to the sky.

This never-ending curiosity is the beginning of everything.

Yes.

The world lost its future, the night sky lost its brilliance, civilization lost its years, and the boy who looked up at the sky lost his star.

Therefore, persistent and curious human beings embark on a journey.

He wants to find the answers behind all these questions.

He steps forward.

Thus, the story of this time, the story of the last reincarnation, kicked off.

"I want……"

Touch the stars with your hands.

Only a world that allows children to reach out to the sky and the stars is a truly meaningful world—if this is not possible, what is the meaning of so-called perfection!
So, Ian reached out and grabbed his guiding star.

He opened the door.
