Above The Sky

Chapter 1621 - 304: Whirlpool Stirring the World

"First, go to the City of Knowledge."

Ian pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Once there, I’ll give you a prophecy... If things go badly, I’ll directly use the power of Dragon Island to send you up, since you’ve already publicly severed ties with the Ellen Family. At that time, you can change your name at the Silverpeak Domain, just like Adalbert did."

"Of course, if the situation isn’t that dire, I think taking a look at the Silver Sky Gateway wouldn’t be a bad thing either... After all."

Ian’s curious voice came through, "I also really know what’s embedded in the power of Inega II within you—it’s beneficial for you. Perhaps you’ll leap forward and reach the Third or even Fourth Energy Level directly."

[You’re just dreaming]

Yisen Gard rolled his eyes. He didn’t say ’this isn’t about you,’ because he knew that if it were Ian, he’d definitely rise up on his own without needing any scheming from others.

[But to be honest] Yisen Gard frowned and said, [Though my Sun-eclipse Refining Dragon Bloodline is still at the early to mid-stage of the Second Energy Level, the power of my Solar God Bird lineage... Though it’s difficult for me to control, it’s already starting to surpass my Refining Dragon]

[That’s also why I feel fear, because once this transcendent power awakens... who truly becomes the dominant consciousness?]

Ian was silent for a while. Back then, while accepting the Silver Chip, he also contemplated. If Inega II had imbued his memories and power into the Silver Chip, would he still have any chance to resist?

Certainly not. At that time, even with the guidance of the Guiding Star, he certainly couldn’t resist the backhand of a Fifth Energy Level being and would be easily taken over.

But such a thing didn’t happen.

Hiliard also believed Inega II wouldn’t do such a thing, which was why they entrusted him with the Silver Chip.

"I trust Inega II."

Ian said slowly, "Even in the face of betrayal, even when his own child raised a blade against him, in his most desperate death, he didn’t do such a thing."

"This is the one thing I believe in. Because the teacher I trust also believes in him."

Yisen Gard also trusted Ian, [Alright... Then the plan remains unchanged, see you at the City of Knowledge]

[Whatever Anfa can assist with, I can certainly accomplish]

"Mm, see you at the City of Knowledge."

After ending the communication, Ian also fell into thought.

To be honest, his thoughts were somewhat disrespectful.

"Inega II... was he so graceful and amiable back in the day?"

Ian thought so, "But thinking about it, Marquis Barton also said before that the Guardian’s initial character was rather gentle. Perhaps it’s a family trait?"

"Furthermore, why does Yisen want to compete with Anfa?"

Perhaps it’s because the other party also has to receive the washing of dragon memory, which is somewhat similar.

Ian didn’t delve too deeply into thinking about these matters, as he had many other things to handle.

Meanwhile.

The Heart Light Body of the Second Prince Michael, a small bird, silently watched as Yisen Gard emerged from the Fae liaison.

He gazed at this scene and then left the place after a soft sigh, returning to the western front.

Terra Year 775, November.

Across the Whole Terra, many who had received invitations from the City of Knowledge began to gather towards the west.

The City of Knowledge has always been the Holy Ground sought after by Terra’s researchers, scholars, astronomers, and alchemists.

This place once belonged to the Grand Library and Civilization Archives of the Lost Epoch, boasting the most complete facilities for records and shelters. The library knights and archive guardians of that time formed the original body of the City of Knowledge.

Back then, the City of Knowledge was not yet called the City of Knowledge; they proclaimed themselves as ’Library Knights’ and fought against the various magical beasts in the islands of the Tranquil Sea—whether in forests, rainforests, or magical beasts emerging from the sea, they all eroded the protection grounds of the Lost Epoch’s Civilization Archives.

In that ancient era, many inheritors of Lost Era civilization knowledge gathered from all directions. Some knew this was where the library was located and sought precious knowledge here, while others had sacred revelations and wanted to join here to protect the spark of human civilization.

The forces of all sides grew here, and one after another, the towers protecting the spark of civilization were erected, cementing the Thousand Tower City style of the future City of Knowledge.

Then... came the Lost Epoch.

The records from the Lost Epoch are very vague; the only known fact is that during that period, the City of a Thousand Towers faced an extremely terrifying enemy, and it was the support from the entire continent that preserved this place.

Even distant friends from another star reached out to help.

This thoroughly forged the later City of Knowledge.

Utilizing the power of the Ancient God ’Silver Sky Gate’, the City of Knowledge elevated the entire island and seafloor base where the Lost Epoch’s civilization archives were located into the sky, creating the vast ’Cloudscape Land.’

In the center of Cloudscape Land, the area protected by infinite flowing clouds, the Divine Body of the Ancient God, and the Giant Psychic Seal, is the ’Sky Capital,’ as well as the ’Thousand Towers,’ which were originally built to protect the library and have now become the supreme symbols of academics.

The City of Knowledge has never had a ’king’ or a ’leader’ since ancient times. They are all guardians who voluntarily come from various places to protect knowledge.
