Above The Sky-Chapter 1639 - 309: The Possibility of Resurrection and the Opening of the Grand Assembly

Chapter 1639: Chapter 309: The Possibility of Resurrection and the Opening of the Grand Assembly
Compared to vying for world domination, the City of Knowledge prefers to support a powerful entity, letting it establish order, thereby maintaining the environment for the City’s existence.
As a scholarly organization dedicated to preserving knowledge, the City of Knowledge does not favor conflict and cannot even accept chaos—because a chaotic environment leads to the loss of knowledge, and also interrupts many ongoing studies.
Therefore, even as a theoretically neutral entity, the City of Knowledge will repeatedly help anyone who is intent on establishing order in their domain. Not for any other reason, but purely for the continuation of knowledge and order.
So, in those days, during the revival of The Empire, even though Imperial Emperor Inaga II had never set foot in the City of Knowledge, he nonetheless received the highest treatment from the City.
He once exchanged thoughts with the Guardian of The Grand Library, engaging in lively conversations across the distance.
A silver misty humanoid form silently observed this small shop, a place it had watched for over two hundred and thirty years, which was, for its long life, a rather significant period.
Ice Prison Dust... or one could say, the ’Automated Nano Construction System Basic Unit’, is precisely the material that constituted its body.
"Mahdi and Yisen Gard... the inheritors of Hiliard and Inega II."
After a long silence, the humanoid sighed: "If the current chief wasn’t pondering some inappropriate ideas, I really ought to invite them to The Grand Library for a visit."
"Eh? They even bought some sauce?" As it sighed, the humanoid noticed a batch of sauce missing from the entrance, and couldn’t help but chuckle: "I quite like this taste... just based on this alone, perhaps Mahdi might be better suited for conversations with me than Inega and Hiliard."
Slightly shaking its head, the silver humanoid vanished.
Meanwhile, Ian, after a bout of frenetic technological collection, returned to his Floating Island.
"Send these things back to The Empire as fast as possible."
Ian instructed Yisen Gard sternly, and the other detected the underlying message in his friend’s words, raising an eyebrow: "You suspect a major disruption in the City of Knowledge? Indeed, the Huai Guang Church has predicted it."
"That’s one reason." Ian hadn’t actually considered this: "Mainly because my other body can analyze these technologies at the fastest speed—you have no idea, Silverpeak Domain is developing rapidly, but it’s all in heavy industry, with little progress in light industry."
"People have gotten wealthier, but can’t find products to enhance their quality of life—over the past few years, they were content with having money and food, as these are people who have endured starvation during famines, so for now, they aren’t very interested in luxury goods and intriguing technological items, a can of food satisfies all their needs."
"But other people also need to be well taken care of, and their interests should be prepared for once their ’sense of security’ is ensured... these little items from the City of Knowledge are perfect for rebranding in my Silverpeak Domain as brand-new trendy goods!"
"What about patents?"
Yisen Gard, inclined towards order, surprisingly asked such a question, and Ian looked at his friend oddly: "Didn’t you just say the City of Knowledge will face major disruptions, maybe even catastrophes?"
"They won’t have the time to worry about this, and when the real disaster ends, they might even have to come to me to find their original technologies!"
This is technological insurance, not random freeloading!
Although he didn’t say it, this was the message Ian wanted to convey, and this candid declaration filled Yisen Gard with admiration: "Indeed, we are not creators of knowledge, just movers and preservers of it!"
"Occasionally, we must create, but borrowing is still the fastest."
Seeing that Yisen Gard understood him, Ian was satisfied and started packing up the room full of ’City of Knowledge specialties’ with him.
And while organizing, his mind began to wander.
Ice Prison Calamity Ash was the main cause of his mentor Hiliard’s death, and without the Silver Chip’s suppression, the only survivors might be supreme Origin Structures like the ’Dragon Heart Core.’
In other words, behind the Ice Prison Calamity Ash is a civilization comparable to a True Dragon.
According to the Silver Chip’s description, Ice Prison is even a coalition of multiple civilizations within a star cluster, borrowing Sparks from other civilizations, possibly even finding a powerful Spark like that of the Thousand-Star Beast, its technology was even acknowledged by the Star God, and could serve as a main material for the ’Cradle.’
The Terranano Spark based on Origin Structures is not the same as Earth’s nanotechnology, it involves both Spirit Energy and Origin Quality, it seems even Aether could be activated by it, it’s an extraordinarily powerful material... what exactly the Cradle is, remains unknown, but at the very least, it seems to be a planetary megastructure.
And its weapon system, namely ’Ice Prison Calamity Ash’... no. Is the Ice Prison Calamity Ash really a weapon system?
Could it be a sort of... hmm, surface-cleaning, or landform-modifying tool, meant to make a plot of terrain suitable for construction?
So it would cease operation after achieving its set objectives, turning into dust or stone-like materials?
That’s quite possible.
But in retrospect... was Inega II also affected by the Ice Prison Calamity Ash?
"With the Silver Chip, it can be resisted."
