Above The Sky

Chapter 2163 - 62: Shine Like a Lighthouse, Illuminating Every Path into the Unknown Night_3

As for the Arcane Pathway, it may not necessarily be the same.

The souls of the Azure Sky Royal Court’s people were given to them by the Royal Court from the very beginning.

The Royal Court granted them souls, thus their souls are part of the Royal Court. A person may be perishable, but a nation, a race, and a civilization can persist. And the soul of a nation, the thoughts of a nation, the selfhood of an Empire’s Royal Court is the [current of thoughts].

By mastering the direction of these thought currents, the power of the Royal Court can be grasped, allowing a person, even in death, to be revived within the current of thoughts, holding [immortality].

This is the [Will of the Royal Court]. As the ruler of the Royal Court, the Great Khan’s will can return from the Royal Court, thereby becoming truly immortal, even transcending space-time, summoning other Great Khans from parallel worlds.

If this power can also be controlled, one can similarly achieve the [Infinite Loop] and reach the Sixth Echelon!

Of course, this power is still too chaotic, but Gonta Ximor believes that as long as he continues to implement his plans, transforming all Royal Court People into perfect [Celestials] with all the special advantages of Demihumans, fulfilling the vision of [one nation, one race, one thought current, one Khan], unified in full time, focused on integrating the [Will of the Royal Court], he can break through to the Sixth Echelon!

Unlike the path of the Underworld, and different from the Dream Domain, this is a great task that might be achievable within a single generation!

The recognition of [Azure Sky Royal Court] by [other nations’ people], that abstract and unified perception, also accelerates this process—hence, Gonta Ximor directly opened the Azure Sky Royal Court, promoting the integration of world peoples, spending lavishly to speed up, driving the currents of thoughts of the entire human world to flow towards the Azure Sky Royal Court!

Originally, Gonta Ximor thought this process would be long, as the Azure Sky Royal Court had always presented as a multi-ethnic, highly aggressive image to the world; he himself estimated that transforming his image in the eyes of the public would take about twenty years, one generation’s time.

Who would have thought, in less than ten years, this transformation succeeded—if he wasn’t the Great Khan of the Azure Sky Royal Court himself, Gonta Ximor might have believed his country was a passionate, hospitable land of singing and dancing!

This also made him reflect on the human tendency to be easily deceived by external appearances.

But just as Gonta was contemplating, he heard a snicker from behind: "My Great Khan, at least those foreign nationals gained happiness, even if they are foolish animals, they don’t come out empty-handed, they even enjoy being foolish, sometimes being blissfully ignorant."

"And you? Do you really have enough time to achieve your great feat of ’all as one’?"

"Gaer."

Gonta turned his head, looking at his youngest brother.

It had been ten years since their exploration of the Exotic Species Research Institute; the young warrior of those days had grown into a mature general—not in appearance, as the twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old Wolf of the Azure Sky still looked youthful outwardly. Even as Gaer broke through the Fourth Energy Level, his fur became smoother like flowing white silk, appearing even more flawless.

Mature was his demeanor. Though Gaer originally had a handsome and heroic appearance due to his bloodline and temperament, one might describe his air as that of a wild wolf, or poorly, as a mad dog. But now, though he still seemed somewhat unapproachable, having seen more strong figures and knowing his true strength, he became inherently humble and detached.

Yet now, facing his elder brother, the Great Khan, Gaer restored his innate arrogance, speaking in an aggressively full voice: "Admit it, Great Khan, while your dreams are close to success, they are the hardest to achieve."

"Because other people’s plans are accumulated over millennia, and the planners never imagined success at the start, thus enduring more trials. Your vision seeks accomplishment within one lifetime, hence a slight accident on your part would lead to absolute failure."

"Perhaps."

The dignified Great Khan was not angered by his relative’s harshness, rather, he smiled softly with a hint of warmth: "But if in this lifetime, I don’t pursue infinite possibilities, what meaning would there be?"

He turned, closed his eyes, sensing the winds roaring across the Moving Royal Court: "At this moment, I can feel that I am the center of the world—this may be an illusion, but I relish this illusion and wish to indulge in it forever."

"The greatest revelation from the Silverpeak Seer to me is not the power of the Arcane Pathway, but the possibility of endless existence. The Sixth Echelon represents infinite life, infinite energy, meaning infinite possibilities... compared to this power, all mundane things become nihility."

"Between the Fifth Energy Level and the Sixth Echelon lies a barrier; beneath the Sixth Echelon, beings are almost non-existent in a certain sense."

"I don’t wish to be just a infinitesimal fragment of someone else’s life."

Gaer understood the essence of his brother’s reflection.

From the moment he comprehended the nature of the ’loop’ in Pioneer Space, he realized that in this Aether Universe, those who haven’t reached the Sixth Echelon and become a ’Star God’ are merely creatures eternally struggling in the cycle of reincarnation.
