Above The Sky-Chapter 1903 - 394: The Sun Shining in the Utmost An Abyss
——In that sense, only the Setal Imperial Family and the Fae have any potential to trigger the Calamity of Light... Hmm, just the Setal Imperial Family.
No, wait.
Why "we, the Setal Imperial Family"?
On the ground, such doubts and thoughts emerged in every corner.
New Moon.
The moon’s fragments were constantly splintering, slowly splitting apart. At the center of the rift, Ian, holding the Sword of Gravity, looked at Axel before him in shock.
"Are you insane!" he exclaimed incredulously, "You want to turn everyone into Inega II?!"
Michael, standing beside him, was also so shocked that he was momentarily tongue-tied: "Father, what are you saying? You’re, you’re making Grandpa’s thought pattern..."
Even they couldn’t fathom Axel’s purpose—this level of madness exceeded the limits of speculation. Rather than a possibility, it was more like the delusional ramblings of a fevered dream.
But now, the delusion had become reality.
[The greatest deception in this world is that everyone is equal. Even when education is equal for all, and given the same living environment, the smartest group of people always emerges. They can almost arrive at answers close to Logos, while most people can only submit to superficial appearances and fail to comprehend the underlying patterns.]
In response to Ian and Michael’s questions, Axel remained indifferent: [But even truly smart people find it hard to escape a universal truth—their environment shapes their thoughts, making them always view changes through certain predetermined perspectives.]
[If something opposes society’s morality, they perceive it as bad and feel the need to stop it.]
[Just like how surprised you are now—what is there to be surprised about? The best thought pattern I have at my disposal is my father’s. The most noble moral holder I can find is also my father, who dreams grandly and possesses the most selfless heart, as far as I know, is also my father.]
[This is an incredibly precious legacy, the most important wealth my father left me. If I use it upon the royal family, who in this world can truly resist us? We would eternally rule The Empire—boring, dull, without any meaning, boring to the point of wanting to sleep.]
[So I share; I selflessly share this priceless treasure, the most precious thing in my heart, with everyone. They will gain my father’s wisdom, thinking patterns, and talents—I do not exploit them, don’t expect anything from them, I ask nothing in return, only hope they can be a little wiser.]
[What is there to be surprised about, what is there to be shocked about, and what will you do to stop me?]
Axel’s voice reverberated through the Domain of Void, as the Kingdom of Lightforge released ripple after ripple of light, causing the surrounding lunar fragments to continually shatter, dissolve, and be absorbed as light to supplement itself, reinforcing its mass and energy: [I even allocated related memory banks to everyone.]
[All the strong refuse to let the populace know the truth about this world, and they are right. Because the vast majority of the populace, upon learning the truth, would only panic, give up, waste away, and despair. Due to the education they’ve received, the environments they are in, and their innate talents, they cannot bear the ’truth of the world.’ In some sense, not telling them is protection, but more importantly, many things are futile to say—they cannot impact this world, merely seeking a peaceful acceptance of death.]
[I don’t think so. I believe everyone should be entitled to know the truth; they are also a part of this world and have the right to face their own End.]
[In reality, they know and understand nothing; they cannot even comprehend the meaning behind the changes in grain prices, let alone understand the harsh nature of the world’s truth. Since they are this way, I will give them the capacity to bear the truth of the world and then tell everyone the facts.]
[In this way, everyone will know the truth, none will remain in the dark, and humanity will no longer lapse into chaos, but will unite as one!] 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
——Madness. Such sensible madness!
In this moment, Ian’s sole thought was, ’How cool! I want to do this too!’ If he had Inega II’s mental model in his hands, he’d surely want to try and see what would happen.
But even so, in the Silverpeak Domain, similar experiments were conducted: Silverpeak’s Soul’s Steel Seal and various Artificial Soul inscriptions are designed for this effect. Even Meditation Techniques alone have the capability to transform the cultivator internally. With support from multiple data sources, Ian and Adalbert found that different Meditation Techniques could alter a person’s character and thinking essence to varying degrees.
Some powerful Meditation Techniques, like the First Generation Meditation Technique developed by Ian, modeled on the Rites of the Star Gods, can make a person’s thinking quicker, improve memory and calculation, expand thinking breadth, and better connect various pieces of information to uncover the truth. Even a fool, through continuous cultivation, would eventually become a wise person with a broad mind.
This kind of transformation is slow and inefficient—the more ignorant the person, the more time needed to succeed, but the intelligent gain a head start, creating an inequity.
Whereas Axel’s method is extremely simple: everyone gets to wear an Inega II, everyone has the same advantage, everyone is equal!
