Above The Sky

Chapter 2168: Chapter 62: Be Like a Lighthouse, Illuminating Every Path Into the Unknown Night

"I see."

The somewhat bemused Great Khan turned his head, looking at his youngest brother who still held a knife towards him, and laughed softly: "You are my opponent."

"Gaer, you desire so much to catch up with the Silverpeak Seer... this is your wish."

"Yes, big brother." Gaer’s mouth gradually curved up like his brother’s: "But this is not my wish, Ian Silverpeak... he is my guidance."

"He told me how to walk towards the future, the truth of this world. I want to challenge him, but the premise is that I can catch up with him."

"Only by defeating you and taking your Top Seat’s Blood can I have the qualification to pursue him."

So saying, the young wolf laughed heartily: "No matter how strong the power of the Fifth Energy Level, it must be based on Aether. Remove the power brought by the Top Seat’s Blood, and frankly, you are nothing more than an extremely powerful Fourth Level peak."

"In this moment when our powers are continuously weakening due to the disappearance of Aether, big brother, do you still have the confidence to defeat me?"

"Now?" Gonta Ximor felt the power within him dwindling. He knew he had already lost, his plan completely failed, no matter if it was the Empire’s Will or any other nonsense, he could not push forward anymore.

This is why Gaer sought him out and chatted about those plans — he knew earlier than anyone that Ian Silverpeak would make such a big move, and perhaps he had long been under the Prophet’s command.

Yet at this moment, he did not feel the slightest disappointment.

Because the two brothers, at this moment, shared the exact same goal. freёwebnoѵel.com

— Only by defeating Ian Silverpeak can they realize their dreams.

What they are fighting for is precisely this qualification to challenge Ian.

So, facing his brother’s challenge, Gonta Ximor gripped the handle of his hammer at his waist, smiled, and stepped forward: "Who wins or loses."

"You can only know after the fight."

Terra. Planetary Orbit.

Darkness was endless, only the light of Aether spanned space-time, turning into a road.

Ian stood atop the Ether Tower, watching one star after another rise up from the earth, approaching and converging on him.

Aether gathered into a long road, guiding these strong ones to appear before him.

The whole Terra, aside from Embrace Light, almost all those of the Fifth Energy Level had gathered Above the Sky.

[Ian, what on earth are you planning?]

It was a familiar voice, the tone angry.

"What I want to do is very simple."

But Ian at this moment was not targeting any individual; he was targeting all those of the Fifth Energy Level on the whole Terra.

So, the silver-haired Pioneer calmly said: "The current Terra simply cannot bear your dreams. Before realizing your dreams, you will certainly fight each other, Terra cannot withstand such devastation, no one will be the victor."

"Each of you is a prodigious talent, the most precious treasure of civilization. I do not want to see that kind of outcome, so I intend to guide you to take another path, a path where everyone can win."

[...a path where everyone can...win?]

Everyone was bewildered, they could not imagine this at all — among themselves, they were old rivals, their goals conflicted; how could everyone win? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"It’s very simple."

But clearly they did not understand Ian enough, the Pioneer chuckled lightly, speaking words beyond everyone’s imagination: "Your research and ideals greatly aid civilization at different stages and in different eras, like lighthouses that guide the way for ships crossing the dark sea of ignorance."

"But also for this reason, your very existence affects the development of civilization."

"So, I will seal you all, along with the abnormal Aether brought by the Perpetual Motion Machine — when the right time comes, when Terra reaches the correct era, the seal I leave behind will release you sequentially, one by one."

"At that time, you can unfurl your ambitions and achieve your heart’s desires!"
