Capítulo 1931: Chapter 1: The Original Pioneer Space

Aina Sertar.

A surname and name he doesn’t like but must accept.

Imperial Grand Prince of The Empire.

An identity and destiny he doesn’t care for, yet cannot escape.

He is the Imperial Grandson of the Setal Imperial Family, son of the Eldest Imperial Son Carlos, Aina Sertar, the most prestigious and capable among the younger generation of the Empire.

Once upon a time.

Once, indeed, it was so.

At a young age, in his twenties, he mastered the mysteries of the Third Energy Level. After his journey to the Exotic Species Research Institute, he quickly grasped his Heart Light and further advanced his Sublimation Skills, mastering the ‘Complete Photomorphosis,’ theoretically attainable only by the Fourth Energy Level.

This is the core ability of the Sunbird. Although it requires extensive preparation and currently can only move forward in a straight line, without a doubt, the light-speed movement ability of Complete Photomorphosis has already put him in an unassailable position in battles of the same level.

But what if the strength of his peers had already completely surpassed him?

Ian Silverpeak.

Mahdi Ravine.

Each name represents a rare genius, able to impress everyone with a casual display, holding hidden potentials that surprise everyone.

The former not only reached the Third Energy Level faster than himself, but also killed a Fourth Energy Level Great Demon in his own domain, with both his strength and achievements assured, as he is also a Prophet, one of the strongest Spirit Energy holders in this world.

As for the latter, back at the Exotic Species Research Institute, he already had Third Energy Level strength, impressively outperforming everyone, single-handedly defeating the entire younger generation of the Whole Terra. After heading to Dragon Island, his strength surged explosively, and when he reappeared in the City of Knowledge, he already had the formidable power of the Fourth Energy Level!

At this point, even speaking for the Empire, even considering previous epoch civilizations of the Terra Era, no sublimator throughout history has been as talented as this— not even the First Knight has advanced so quickly!

Honestly, this has reached the limit of what people can accept. After all, as the disciple of the First Knight, successor of the Black Sun, with the Prophet as his mentor, the Fourth Energy Level is just the Fourth Energy Level; records are there to be broken by others.

But here’s what’s unreasonable— just recently, during the Battle of the Sun, the Ghost Valley Knight advanced to the Fifth Energy Level.

When he heard this news, Aina, busy with official duties in the Northern Territory, began to doubt the reality of the world.

Could he be dreaming?

If the three glaring suns in the sky hadn’t told him that the Ghost Valley Knight and his uncle Michael had advanced to the Fifth Energy Level, and had engaged his grandfather Axel in battle, he would have surely thought it was fake news.

But it turned out to be true!

And more than that.

The Ghost Valley Knight and the Silver Peak Earl… are actually the same person!

Ha, damn, this world’s changes are too fast for him to comprehend.

And then there was the nationwide brainwashing, where everyone turned into his great-grandfather Inega II, and the Top Seat’s Blood of his grandfather and uncle brought back by Ian Silverpeak, separately descending upon his father and aunt… each event more bizarre and unbelievable than the last.

Even Aina himself, in extreme shock, tentatively accepted his great-grandfather Inega II’s persona.

Then he discovered that something within him seemed to have broken free.

Perhaps forced personas couldn’t coexist? Or maybe some iron-stamped brainwashing was overwritten by a stronger brainwashing?

In any case, Aina also realized why his grandfather Axel always apologized to him.

Perhaps because he had been brainwashing him and all other royal family members from a young age, adding a certain ‘character’ to them.

And the character he bore was ‘brave,’ ‘upright,’ and ‘leader.’

With his wisdom and Inega’s memories, Aina quickly understood that the brainwashing on himself and others was a test product of Axel’s nationwide brainwashing technique—this emperor, using himself and his progeny as test subjects, only applied it to the entire world once confirmed accurate.

Quite the experimental spirit.

Aina himself had no feelings about it; after all, his childhood was fairly happy, and he quite liked his upright character, which was much better compared to his occasionally unscrupulously ruthless father.

Meanwhile, these labels were none other than his grandfather Axel’s expectations of him, except his power and technology were strong enough to turn expectations into reality.

They are good labels, are they not?

The only thing Aina found slightly troubling was that his true nature might be more like his uncle’s.

He was happy to be a straightforward person but didn’t like to be a leader.

Rather than staying in the palace and other important places to ‘guard,’ he wished to roam the earth, encountering more people and events.

No, maybe it isn’t like his uncle…

But rather, all Sunbirds innately desire more freedom, more vast space-time.

It wasn’t difficult—no one was monitoring Aina from the start, and no one imposed any restrictions on him.

As a deeply trusted Imperial Grandson, what restrained Aina has always been the principles in his heart, self-definition, and constraints, rather than any real chains.

So.

At this point, Aina Sertar suddenly discovered something he had never dared to think about in the past.

—Hey? I’m free?!
