Above The Sky-Chapter 1671: 316: The First 'Ian' (Part 1)

Capítulo 1671: Chapter 316: The First ‘Ian’ (Part 1)
Due to a rocket accident caused by opposition within the Earth Federation, the young engineer who traversed to a brand new world felt the touch of human warmth, and besides bewilderment, he also felt a hint of relief.
(Have I crossed over?) He thought: (Well, although I didn’t make it to another planet, crossing over to another world isn’t bad either)
(I hope this world isn’t too primitive, if I can explore space in a new world, that would be double the joy)
Traversing to the Otherworld, being reborn, there’s no need to think too much, it’s best to enjoy one’s brand new life and explore this unknown Otherworld.
With such a mindset, Ian grew up little by little.
By nature, he was quiet, or rather, slightly introverted, often quietly observing and thinking deeply.
Soon, as he aged and through inquiries among the neighborhood, he gradually learned the basic situation of the world he was in.
This is a world called Terra, and based on the horizon calculation, it should also be a planet, but for some reason, there are very few stars in the sky, and unfortunately, this world is relatively primitive. Although there are many Origin Quality technologies and various Inscriptions similar to Magic and Alchemy, overall, in this Harrison Port where he lives, there aren’t many creations of high technical content.
After confirming this, in order to avoid being feared by others, Ian didn’t show much Wisdom. But even so, he still feigned through his mother, letting this woman, who is amazed at her own child possibly being a genius, make one invention after another and new skills.
Composting, sugar refining, making grass ash soap, detoxifying and deworming, observing celestial phenomena to predict the weather, brand new methods of aquaculture, various traps and small tools…
Ian’s inventions and creations were endless. He was clever and skillful, and the physical quality of the Terra People far surpassed Ian’s imagination. He discovered that the people here, like those on Earth, are genetically modified super individuals, and the extremely mysterious past behind this world made him increasingly interested.
Of course, Ian also discovered the anomalies of the stars in the sky and the existence of Sublimators. For these, Ian was not too concerned, as these matters were obviously not something he, an ordinary person, could solve. All he needed to do was to protect everything around him.
It’s not a matter of confidence or whether he has ideals, because Ian has always been such a tranquil and detached person. He had no great desires, only wanted to see new things and be thrilled by exploring the unknown, and this new world of Terra was already fresh enough.
This kind of personality is not impossible, but choosing one aspect means inevitably giving up the other.
However, the traverser who wished to hold onto things in his hands, at that time, did not understand a Maxim from his hometown.
‘The Dao of Heavens takes away excess while supplying the lacking; the Dao of humans takes from the lacking to give to the excess’.
In the world of Humans, not striving means destined to lose.
Because of Ian’s help, this lifetime, his mother was neither laborious nor remarried, nor did she have a brother. She lived with Ian and became a high-ranking member of the White Folks.
And as a genius in machinery, Ian also entered the sight of Elder Pude, and early on, he received resources and teachings from the guild, learning knowledge concerning Inscriptions.
However, he did not get any opportunity regarding knowledge of ‘Sublimator’… At that time, Ian was not particularly concerned about this. He believed that with his Wisdom, he would always obtain it, just a matter of a few years, it didn’t matter much.
Moreover, once the Bloodline True Form is chosen, it’s hard to change paths, and he must be fully prepared before starting to forge ahead.
He grew up slowly in this way.
Until one day, as a child sat by the sea gazing at the ocean, he encountered an old knight who also came to the seaside.
“Why are you by the sea?”
The old knight’s tone was stern, with a hint of scolding: “Can’t you see a storm is coming? This is a Southern Sea storm, why aren’t you quickly heading back to the city to take shelter?”
“I can see it.”
And the boy who was holding blueprints and making calculations glanced at the old knight, then turned back to continue writing in the booklet: “According to my predictions of the Southern Sea climate, this storm shouldn’t appear at all. Even if an auxiliary typhoon was triggered by climate anomalies in an area I can’t observe, it still shouldn’t be this massive.”
“According to my deductions, the storm is definitely not a normal natural phenomenon. There should be a volcano deep in the Southern Sea, whose periodic eruptions will form the storm, but the strange thing is that I haven’t detected any seismic waves over the years. It’s really odd.”
“Look at the speed of those storm clouds forming… Wow?! It’s so fast!”
The boy exclaimed, not just because the formation speed of the storm clouds exceeded his imagination, but also because the old knight directly picked him up with one hand, carrying him like a little cat and rapidly running: “Can’t tell if your brain is smart or dumb, aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“I built a sloped hole as a base behind the hill.” Sensing the old knight’s speed was beyond normal imagination, Ian, realizing he might have encountered a Sublimator, became excited, informing the other: “It’s halfway up the mountain, we’ll reach it soon. At my speed, I could barely duck inside before the storm arrives. Given your speed, old man, we’ll make it quickly.”
