Chapter 1632: Chapter 307: World’s Number One Freeloader
Promoting the Arcane Pathway is something Ian had long wanted to do.
The essence of the Arcane Pathway lies in three extremely critical ’technology nodes.’
The first technology node is the ’Meditation Technique’ based on Artificial Soul and Calculative Structure from the Rites of the Star Gods.
The second technology node involves the ’Essence Furnace Core,’ which significantly enhances computational power through Meditation Technique, allowing for full-body Origin Quality management, with compression and acceleration at will.
The third and most crucial technology node is the ’Artificial Sublimation Organ’ enabled by powerful computational capabilities and self-origin quality control.
The three technological nodes complement each other, step by step, each one indispensable.
And Ian has yet to complete the third technology node.
The Artificial Sublimation Organ requires immense computational power and self-analysis, as well as optimization based on one’s physical condition to avoid mutation or sublimation failure.
This is also why the ’Sublimation Path’ from taking Magic Potions has the notion of ’talent,’ as some people may be genetically hypersensitive, have numerous allergens, or their mutation points are triggered by the sublimation organ, making it impossible to advance.
To overcome this, the Arcane Pathway needs a ’Standard Sublimation Organ Model’ for optimization based on individual constitution, allowing cultivators to practice any Bloodline True Form without being affected by physical factors.
Here’s the problem.
Who has the Standard Sublimation Organ Model?
Don’t mention the Spark—it’s an alien civilization and not related to human standards. The Star Gods never thought of using other species’ organs themselves; they possess more advanced technology.
Naturally, Ian doesn’t have it either... although he pioneered this pathway, he still lacks much-needed accumulation.
Only the Tara Confederation does.
With just himself and the Sixth Union of the Silverpeak Domain, using the Heart of Terra, Ian might manage to create one or two Arcane Pathway cultivators confined to the First and Second Energy Levels, along with a few Bloodline True Forms he studied deeply.
But going further is beyond him, as it requires the growth of the Heart of Terra and more Bloodline True Form Atlases and Sublimation Organ Models.
Yet the Tara Confederation can do it.
Having delved into this path for many years, the Tara Confederation perhaps didn’t develop the Arcane Pathway due to various reasons, but they must have compiled a professional Bloodline True Form Encyclopedia.
Moreover, they likely possess enough computational power and resources to construct an ’Artificial Sublimation Organ.’
As long as they can create it, Ian can learn from it.
Furthermore, as the developer of the Arcane Pathway, he already holds the advantage.
True, it seems that publicizing the Arcane Pathway would enable the Tara Confederation to gain artificial sublimators’ abilities ahead of time, strengthening the opponent and raising the difficulty of world conquest.
But that’s not actually the case.
The true core of the Arcane Pathway lies in the ’calculative structure’ borrowed from the Rites of the Star Gods within the ’Meditation Technique.’
With this structure, those practicing Meditation Technique can directly connect to various computational facilities to deduce their sublimation organ and continually enhance their computational power through Meditation Technique upgrades, accelerating the formation of the sublimation organ.
The Tara Confederation, however, lacks this key capability. They merely obtained Artificial Souls and resorted to Electronic Brains or Biologic Brain Attach methods to enhance computational power, using supercomputers to deduce Artificial Sublimation Organs, which would be extremely slow.
Even if they manage to produce some Artificial Sublimators through sheer manpower and resources, Ian will by then be able to launch a counterattack with a more refined pathway.
Additionally, the essence furnace core’s structure is likewise based on Ian’s deduction from the Ancient Dragon Heart Core, Aether Crystal, and his unique Primordial Seed structure as a new Sublimation Organ.
The Tara Confederation can only follow the conceptual ideas proposed by Mahdi. Of course, the specific Meditation Technique and Essence Furnace Core details won’t be provided, and the Confederation would need to expend enormous resources on a seemingly perfect, yet realistically perfect path, wasting a lot of time.
And then... it would be just like the Era of the Gods during the Spirit Disaster Pathway.
The Arcane Era would arrive.
The process is bound to be accompanied by more intense conflicts, battles, and even human experiments.
Ian had anticipated this possibility all along.
He himself would adhere strictly to the rules, avoiding extreme human experiments, but the Tara Confederation would inevitably cross boundaries to expedite their progress on the Arcane Pathway.
Furthermore, as the pace of Artificial Sublimators advances to a certain extent, the frontline of each nation might be filled with First Energy Level sublimators.
Although currently there is a method of temporarily inducing sublime forces, it involves a heavy cost of Magic Potion supplies, allowing for only short-term engagements, with no sustainability... once the Arcane Era arrives, the terrifying ’Sublimation Reserve Army’ concept could become a reality.
A super army that even today’s ’sublime forces’ could hardly resist, capable of overpowering them in both quantity and quality.
By that time, the intensity of the war might be enough to easily decimate the entirety of Terra.
But even knowing all of this, Ian would still proceed.
It’s simple—it’s as if the current Tara Confederation can’t already wreck this planet, as if they refrain from human experimentation... they’ve already hit rock bottom, so rather than dragging things on, wouldn’t it be better to fast-track progress instead of watching the entire civilization continue to sink?
