Just like now.

As soon as Ian reached the core of the Realm of Light, he immediately discovered that underneath the entire grating lay a massive inscription array.

The prototype of the Pearl of the Light Realm was located in the center of the pattern, and numerous intricate streams of light shot in from all directions, engraving various details upon it, imparting it with multiple powers, purifying its ether, and enhancing its essence.

This is the method the Realm of Light uses to craft ’Pearls’!

It is also the method to create the genuine ’Aether True Body’!

Creating the Aether True Body is not difficult; the challenge lies in its stability and compatibility. Currently, in the inheritance of various factions of the Terra Nations, there are likely dozens of methods to craft the Aether True Body, but each method leads to a loss of life and increases self-pressure.

However, the Realm of Light is different. Though its creation process is slower, it has no errors or conflicts. This is why consuming the Pearl of the Light Realm enables one to regain the essence of a world—to replenish life energy—while reducing the consumption of the Aether True Body, thereby naturally extending longevity.

"This is valuable, record it immediately!"

Without any hesitation, Ian immediately used the Silver Chip to scan the entire inscription structure at the core—along with the properties of ether, the amount of energy, and various other details.

In his current state, he indeed cannot create the Pearl of the Light Realm, but the future Ian, or perhaps the Heart of Terra, might be able to achieve it.

Using the Subspace Network of the New Continent as a foundation, gathering energy from all over the world, then gradually accumulating it to manufacture continuous ’Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures’!

Perhaps the crafting speed is slow, and even immense energy can only condense one pearl. But for the future, with Ian holding the Perpetual Motion Machine, he has infinite energy to catalyze the pearl.

Consequently, the power of the Silverpeak Domain will rapidly increase, enabling figures like Adalbert and Yisen Gard to elevate their strength quickly by consuming artificial pearls, swiftly reaching the Fourth Energy Level!

"Wait, what is this?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

While Ian meticulously observed the entire pearl condensation process, he discovered more secrets hidden behind the Realm of Light.

It is a ’space-time distortion’ located within the Realm of Light.

If Ian hadn’t wielded the ’Edge of Perished Sun’ Heart Light Body, equally sensitive to gravity, he might not have noticed a blurry gravitational distortion at the core of the Realm of Light.

Narrowing his eyes, Ian looked closely, and his heart trembled.

Because, hidden under the pedestal of the ’Pearl’, there was a pitch-black sphere...

Not a black hole.

A miniature ’Infernal Heaven’... something akin to the heritage of the Terra Dragon, a small Infernal Heaven!

Yet, unlike the Terra Dragon’s inheritance, this miniature cradle contains an extremely peculiar gravitational distortion, causing the entire power of the Realm of Light to resist and suppress it in place!

To others, they might assume this miniature cradle itself is the source of abnormal gravity.

But having just experienced the Ashen Pathway and witnessed the image of The End heading toward the black hole, Ian could distinctly identify the source of the gravitational waves.

"The End?!" Ian’s heart shivered, "Could it be that a fragment of The End is sealed in this small ’Infernal Heaven’?!"

However, Ian wasn’t easily scared. If anything, he was used to enduring similar shocks; such a minor matter scarcely frightened him. Ian soon scrutinized and found a different aspect: "Although it shares certain similarities with the distorted cosmic phenomena surrounding The End, it only involves gravitational twists."

"Rather than being The End... it seems more like a ’weapon’? Only a weapon possesses such purity, causing even me to sense a crisis, unwilling to approach."

At this moment, Ian couldn’t help but recall the moment the Skyfall Spaceship crashed, when it suddenly erupted with a ’black hole.’

Those suddenly exploding black holes were the true culprits behind destroying the Skyfall Spaceship, causing it to lose control and crash, resulting in the Calamity of Heavenly Fall... That was evidently the attack method of The End fragment against the Star God.

And after The End fragment broke free on the Ashen Pathway, it instantly headed to a star, rapidly transforming it into a black hole.

As residents within the black hole, The End’s manipulation of gravity is extraordinary... Suppose, when the Star God sealed The End, it also stripped a part of its gravity-controlling ’weapon portion’ and used its power to craft a miniature Infernal Heaven to seal it, not only is it unsurprising but highly reasonable.

"...Interesting, this discovery is unexpectedly significant."

Slowly stepping forward, Fairy Ian thoughtfully circled the still-forming bright pearl of the Realm of Light: "The method to craft the Pearl of the Light Realm, that is ’artificial heavenly materials and earthly treasures,’ and the method to create a flawless Aether True Body, are themselves a significant harvest. Even if I rely on the Heart of Terra to deduce it in the future, it will save me a decade or two."

"And this gravity weapon module of The End being sealed... seems capable of easily transforming a star into a black hole. If I could grasp such a terrifying weapon..."

Ian furrowed his brow, suddenly realizing one thing.

——This thing, it’s only capable of destroying the world after all. He could manage that himself, feeling it somewhat useless.

Of course, this thought only lasted a moment. Ian quickly contemplated a possibility, somewhat enlightened, "Wait, this isn’t a weapon, but rather a way to ’shift’ The End’s attention after losing!"
