(6600)_3 “Now, everything has passed.

The people of the God of the Mountain are falling apart, and I can only watch it happen, powerless to stop it.”

Ian listened to Elder Man Cliff’s words, sensing the frustration in them, which was clearly a source of anguish for him.

Perhaps the reason Elder has not advanced to the Third Energy Level is because he has yet to change the trend of the Mountain People’s fragmentation and chaos; he has not fulfilled his wish and cannot trust his own beliefs and dreams.

Thus, the soul and body cannot resonate and achieve the ultimate ‘unity’ to breed the Heartlight Body.

According to Ian’s analysis, the true challenge of the Third Energy Level is the resonance and synchronization between the ‘brain,’ which represents the body’s central hub of thought, and the ‘soul,’ which represents the essence of Spirit Energy.

When the Second Energy Level fosters a soul, it starts to take on many of the brain’s tasks, whether it’s memory, calculation, or the skills to manipulate Origin Quality.

The soul gradually absorbs nutrients, solidifies its structure, and becomes more agile and lively.

Once the soul can fully serve as the ‘second brain’, becoming the Sublimator’s second center of thought, it generally means reaching the peak of the Second Energy Level.

However, the ways of thinking, even the logic, of these two centers might not be the same.

Just as the left and right brains have different functions and operate independently, so does the soul.

The brain and soul thinking about the same problem can often lead to different conclusions—this disorientation and confusion can cause scenarios similar to demonic whispers, causing Sublimators to experience hallucinations.

In severe cases, some might even experience illusions and fail to correctly perceive everything around them, almost as if a demon of the heart had taken over, completely changing a person.

For this, Sublimators of Terra have a simple solution.

That is the ‘desire.’

Ambition, dreams, wishes, or any desire—all words apply.

In short, Sublimators must clearly understand their desires in their hearts and actualize them into the ultimate ‘belief.’

A belief so firm that both the brain and soul of the Sublimator harbor the same ‘consensus.’

With this as a catalyst, the soul and body can merge into one, thoroughly integrating to coalesce the ‘Heartlight Body.’

Elder Man Cliff’s soul is naturally already solidified, and his body is perfected to the utmost.

In the Foresight View, Ian saw Elder Man Cliff colored deep violet with a hint of green—a sign of the peak of the Second Energy Level.

In theory, even with Dragonization, Elder Man Cliff would have a high success rate without the risk of mortal peril.

But his dreams and beliefs are flawed.

Embarrassingly enough, the old man might not believe he can unify the Mountain People and bring the inhabitants of Bison Mountain Range under the same flag.

Thus, he is stuck here.

The Third Energy Level is such a complicated matter.

It’s not even related to talent but simply a firm belief in one’s own philosophy…

that’s why Michael said, once one reaches the Third Energy Level, one would no longer deceive oneself, possessing absolute rational and objective self-awareness without making any errors due to subjective biases.

This sublimation in the mode of thought is also the most important characteristic of a Sublimator, beyond just strength.

Ian is actually stuck here too.

In Avak Labs, catalyzed by the Force of the Departed Sovereign, he already has a Conscious Lightbody.

Ian’s belief is to ‘ascend Above the Sky,’ whether it is his brain or soul, both firmly believe that this is his desire.

But under the guidance of Mentor Gansong, Ian came to understand.

Heading Above the Sky is indeed his belief…

but this belief is not grand enough, not vast and boundless.

It represents Ian’s own dreams, but it cannot fully represent the dreams of those who believe in Ian, follow Ian, and look towards Ian with anticipation.

Hiliard, Elder Prude, Master Gossay, Yisen Gard, Green Tide, Scott, and Adalbert…

all these individuals, to varying degrees, entrust their dreams in Ian’s hands.

Even…

the never-before-seen Inega II, by extracting and entrusting the Silver Chip to Hiliard, hoped that the successors would complete his unfinished endeavors.

The stars should never consist of just one.

“Ian…

if you truly are the Emissary of the Dragon God, then you must understand.”

At this moment, Elder Man Cliff softly said: “The Holy Mountain has been dormant for centuries, with countless people trying to awaken it again and uncover its mysteries—without exception, all have failed.”

“But, if you can make the Holy Mountain shine once again—shine because of you.”

“Then, perhaps the Mountain People can unite under your command.”

The old man turned his head, staring intently at the young man’s profile: “Do you have the confidence?”

“Can you succeed?”

“I will succeed.”

The tranquility of the young man’s profile was not confidence but a calm declaration, proclaiming a future fact.

For a moment, the old man was somewhat dazed, as if the young man before him was a Prophet who had already foreseen the future.

It was not about firm belief, but marching towards a successful outcome as if it were ‘only natural.’

And while Elder Man Cliff was dazed, Ian had already stepped forward.

He walked on the solid bluestone of the mountain, climbing step by step towards the peak.
