678: Chapter 617: The Blessing of the Calamity of Heavenly Fall (Thanks to the alliance leader Zeng Ah Zeng for the reward, 6200)_2 678: Chapter 617: The Blessing of the Calamity of Heavenly Fall (Thanks to the alliance leader Zeng Ah Zeng for the reward, 6200)_2 Master Gossay slowly rose to his feet.

His primary purpose in visiting this time was to see the results of Ian’s recent solitary efforts in Quieting Mind, and the results…

could only be said to have exceeded his expectations.

The Elder originally thought Ian was planning to use the power of the Inspector Knight and Marquis Barton, along with his status as a Lord and his ties to the Dragon Worship Cult, to strategize and attempt to incorporate the Mountain People into his ruling foundation from a higher level.

Then, with his confidants and his own family of White Folks, he would establish a whole ruling system.

In doing so, a balance of power among various forces would be achieved, and Ian would also become the supreme leader of all the factions.

But that was just the thinking of ordinary people.

Ian apparently had no intention of wasting energy on such trifles.

Since he had the technology of the Armor Suit, why not just roll over the opposition in it instead of balancing all the forces?

He clearly had the confidence that he could offer equally satisfying lives and hopes to people of different origins and affiliations.

As a result, there would no longer be any Mountain People, Dragon Worship Cult, Imperial People, or White Folks within his domain…

only the Domain Residents of Ian.

“No need.”

The youth with white hair stood up, stretched lazily, and looked bright-eyed at the ceiling: “A Sublimator’s physical condition is not that poor, especially when the reputation of Master Gossay can’t be tarnished.”

“You have personally taken special care of me for so long, it would be impolite not to wake up.”

“Haha, very well.

Thank you for caring about my reputation.”

The Elder chuckled, shook his head slightly, and left Ian’s room: “After some time, Yisen will come to visit you, you’ll have to handle it yourself.”

“Then I’ll read a little longer.”

The youth smiled as he watched Master Gossay depart.

He then stood up and walked toward his bag, which contained a large number of rare tomes.

In recent days, he had been reading and analyzing the Spirit Energy and special structures within these tomes, trying to understand why the originals and their imprinted copies differed so greatly.

The answer was actually quite simple: these Spirit Energy Tomes, in a certain sense, harbored ‘souls’.

If it had been earlier, Ian would certainly have thought this was an esoteric assertion…

Souls?

Wouldn’t it be better to say the tomes are inhabited by Spirit Energy?

Or that the Inscriptions within the entire tome have coalesced into a complete Spirit Energy Field, hence the marvelous powers?

But now, after receiving the Inheritance of the Deceased Monarch, Ian had come to understand…

these tomes were definitely written at great expense of souls, using the unique structure of these souls to condense a vast amount of different emotions, information, and even special Spirit Substance structures within them.

Fear, hatred, despair, worship, fanaticism, and dread…

Each book had its peculiarities and each harbored different emotions, a principle no different from the essence of the Deceased Monarch and the Dead River Armament.

These books, in a sense, were each a ‘Deceased Monarch’ with different beliefs and consensus imprinted within.

Inega II must have acutely sensed their considerable potential from these ancient and primitive methods of utilizing Spirit Energy – if a book could store a vast amount of information, what about a super-large book?

Or a spaceship?

Could it record all the information of a civilization?

It was for this very reason that he wanted to use the Spirit Seed of Fire to store the souls of all Humans.

It was like the Book of Silver Radiance Ian was holding at that moment.

The youth could clearly sense that the Book of Silver Radiance was imbued with countless blood sacrifices…

The sacrifices of the Naling Mountain People, the self-sacrifices of successive Elders and practitioners of the Sacrificial Rite, merging their souls, insights, and even the memories of their lives into it…

Because of the consensus of the ‘Children of the Dragon God,’ all these souls and memories could be unified, to be utilized by later generations…

Without a doubt, this was also the inspiration for the Deceased Monarchs.

This method of using consensus to filter the qualification of users, deciding that only ‘Children of the Dragon God’ could use the powers of their predecessors and the deceased, was honestly a much more detailed and thorough method than specific rules.

Although it could also be deceived, consensus required deceiving twice – once by oneself, and once by the collective of Lost Souls.

Just like how Ian could delve into its secrets because he had never considered himself an outsider; already a core member of the Dragon Worship Cult, he was indeed one of the Children of the Dragon God.

And as someone with the Ancient Dragon Heart Core and the Aether Crystal, he was indeed one of the Children of the Dragon God to the consensus of the Lost Souls.

—We’re all brothers!

The Book of Silver Radiance, as the Naling Mountain People’s tome recording the mysteries of the Dragon God, contained content that Ian had already seen in The Grand Library.

It detailed many advanced methods passed down by the Mountain People, special meditation techniques, and relevant breakthrough locations and secrets.

This alone made it invaluable.

But what truly merited its inclusion in The Grand Library of The Empire was that the Book of Silver Radiance was an extremely detailed manual of Ancient Dragon observation.

Although the Mountain People’s practitioners back then might not have seen it that way, to the Scholars of The Empire, it was essentially a record of the Qing Steel Dragon’s lineage, how to learn, simulate Its habits, and even included a part on caring for the Qing Steel Dragon to make It feel comfortable and pleased.

Beyond that, the original Book of Silver Radiance also stored a large number of primal memories recorded in the way of Spirit Energy, many Sublimation Skills and Spirit Energy Techniques to emulate the Qing Steel Dragon’s abilities, as well as some Inscription layouts unique to the Mountain People, almost akin to Totem techniques.
