Year Thirty-Three of the Father God.
After the second Star Battle had concluded, the Thebes’ Kingdom announced the facility known as the Undead Secret Realm which was used to be a pce to gather data about the special energy.
But after they had entered the pce, they discovered that the undead started to pile up in numbers. Therefore, the pce was cleaned every once in a while by sending in some newbies along with the veterans from the human army.
The Father God Congregation also rose to fame since some witnesses had seen Father God manifested above the pace.
The purpose of their existence was to carry the will of the Father God. And they believed that Father God would be on the side of the humans.
Dian could only look at them, having seen their action did not hinder the progress of the human race advancing through the development of the technological tree. But seeing that some people could utilize Undead Element made him ponder about the human race’s Transcendent Tree progress.
Suppose the human race could even use the Undead Element despite not being the Undead race, in that case, Dian should also be prepared for the possibility that the human race could also utilize other elements.
The Transcendent Tree referred to the progress of the civilization that embarked on the path of individual transcendence. It meant that individuals possessed power that could even defeat those who were not on the path of the transcendent.
“As I suspected, the human race can assimite many things. Even the Transcendent Tree is also part of them, combine that with technology and they can go even further than most other races.” Dian was confident in this.
He kept watching over the progress of human civilization as a whole.
Year Thirty-Four of the Father God.
Goto was already old. He had met with his successor to talk about things that only the three representatives knew. He talked about Father God to the successor, making him confused as that was the usual talk of people from the Father God Congregation.
But Goto assured the successor that the Father God was real and manifest. That he should hear the guidance that came from the Father God, that he should develop the kingdom to be better.
The successor nodded after hearing Goto. The successor was someone who rose to prominence from a humble beginning. Goto chose him as a successor because of his open-mindedness.
His name was Rao and he was a healthy twenty-year-old man. He had never participated in the first Star Battle so he felt like it was just some story but this time he participated in the second Star Battle and saw for himself another race from another pce he had never seen before.
Only then did he realize that their current situation was due to the Star Battle. The human race had won the Star Battle and improved by leap and bound because of it.
But what if the human race lost, would they be ensved or even worse exterminated to the st? This thought started to fill Rao’s mind as he thought of the possibility that humans lost the Star Battle.
Other than that, there was news on the second continent. Since the discovery, the second continent became a new source of exploration as well as a new pce for people to reside. Although the progress was much slower, they managed to expand inward to the center of the second continent.
At this moment, Chi You who did not participate in the second Star Battle had a monumental moment.
He was given the honor of naming the second continent. At first, he did not know what name would be good for the new pce. Only after he thought about it long enough did he get a good name.
“Let us name this pce Heavensend Continent. It is to remind the future generation that the new continent is a gift from heaven.”
From this point onward, people called the second continent as such.
Year Thirty-Five of the Father God.
Goto passed away and this caused turmoil within the Thebes Kingdom. Rao who had been appointed as the next successor ascended.
However several people decided to separate themselves from the Thebes Kingdom, creating their own territory and governance.
This caused the people to be restless. They were in a state of restlessness as some were conscripted to join the military. This time, the enemy was their own kind. Furthermore, Chi You who had heard of the news decided to build his own kingdom in the Heavensend Continent.
Dian who had seen all of this did not expect that the human civilization would be divided. The issue was that he needed them to be united against external enemies from the Star Battle. He had to think of a way to reunify the human civilization but so far he did not find the opportunity.
Because of that, Dian sought advice from Leif.
“Master, there is nothing you can do about it. From what I see, the human race is prone to division but can actually be united if they have a strong enough reason to do so. All you have to do is to give them a strong reason.” Leif said as he seriously pondered about his observation so far.
“A strong reason? External enemy is one thing but even with that they are still divided. What else do I have?” Dian was panicking a bit. If his civilization was divided while they were in the middle of the Star Battle, they would be annihited and Dian as a Pnet Master would be at the discretion of the opponent.
Dian thought about it and the only thing he could do was to guide the human civilization to be united once more. It was due to this reason that he did not seek to do another Star Battle. He let the human race develop for some time, hoping that a force that could unify the entire race would appear.
Year Thirty-Seven of the Father God.
The Father God Congregation hid deep within the human race. They were the rgest organization after the Thebes Kingdom was divided. They had contact on both the Comberth Continent as well as the Heavensend Continent.
They felt that the division of the human race was against the will of the Father God. They also knew that the Star Battle was the most crucial point in human history. It changed their entire life when they emerged victorious but if they were to lose…
So they decided to hide themselves and seek an opportunity to find a leader that could unite the human race as well as prepare for the next Star Battle. Of course, most intellectuals of the human race had become part of the Father God Congregation.
That was the reason why they knew that the time was not right yet. This time was of division as well as chaos and difficulties. So they slowly became an eminence in shadow, hidden from the common folks from this point onward.
The Cerulean Pnet welcomed its first chaotic time due to the human race. From this year onward, there would be small skirmishes as well as the potential to go to war.
Year Thirty-Eight of the Father God.
The first power that the majority targeted was naturally the Thebes Kingdom. Despite that, the majority of these leaders agreed that the Thebes Kingdom was stronger due to their heritage. So they formed a coalition and pushed the Thebes Kingdom to the path of no return.
Sadly, their attempts were not without obstacles. Rao knew what kind of moves they would make so he prepared to cut it off in advance. He also gathered the scattered military power of the kingdom and centered it around the pace.
Rao had to do this because the coalition was aiming for the destruction of the kingdom. Furthermore, the conflict between the major powers led to a race of technological superiority. It surely made human civilization progress faster in the technological tree.
They also employed the dwarves as they were the best artisans avaible, and their construction of things was considered the best.
Year Forty of the Father God.
Chi You who had established the Heavensend Kingdom finally died and the throne was handed to his child Chi Sen. Furthermore, the Heavensend Kingdom was the powerhouse that developed maritime technology the most as they also used the sea and ocean as a source of living.
But this also meant that the conflict on the Comberth Continent could also reach the Heavensend Continent. They immediately closed the border and went into a period of seclusion.
Meanwhile on the Comberth continent, the conflict was still going on. Now, the Thebes Kingdom became the weakest force there, followed by the Sriwijaya Kingdom that had been formed years ago, then by the biggest Hinon Federation.
At this moment, a new life was born in the ordinary household of the Hinon Federation. It was actually the birth of a baby girl and no one except Dian and the people around the family knew this.
The girl was healthy and the parents were happy. They celebrated her birth by holding a small banquet.
Year Forty-One of the Father God.
The Hinon Federation had defeated one of the weaker powers in the Comberth Continent. They celebrated this as well as sending over logistics to the newly conquered territory. The human race had finally managed to learn the secrets of flying with a device.
That was right! A dwarf and a man suddenly got inspiration which was supported by the Library of Consciousness and managed to create the airpne. From that point on, the human civilization had created many aircraft mainly for military purposes.
It was because of this that the human race could finally understand deeply what air supremacy was. If they did this with only riding a Pterosaur, they would not have discovered it. Furthermore, they had also discovered a new resource.
This resource could be used in many things. It was when humans discovered the oil that was stored in the earth. From then on, the oil was used in many aspects of life.
Since then, the technological race of the powerhouses had reached a new chapter. It was as if the accumuted knowledge had a point of breakthrough and burst out.
Many things were invented due to the discovery of a new resource. This also made many aspects of human civilization improved. The issue was that the development was only in the Comberth Continent. In the Heavensend Continent, the progress of development became stagnant.
Since they had chosen to seclude themselves, they were isoted from the rest of the human civilization. They were content with what they had and even invented leisure entertainment like writing novels or serialization of the drawing story. That kind of development was abundant in the Heavensend Kingdom.
Year Fourty Three of the Father God.
The conquered territory of the defeated powerhouse was slowly assimited into the territory of the Hinon Federation.
Meanwhile, the girl now had reached the suitable age where she could receive her first education outside from her parents. She was sent to a pce called kindergarten. There, she was allowed to learn many new things as well as human retionship.
She was also a kind of a prodigy so she understood things faster and could improve on it further.
Then there was also the matter of the new resource. It turned out that the atmosphere was being polluted by the burning of the oil. So the scientists from the kingdoms and federation also thought of some solutions so that the pollution could be reduced or even disappear.
Dian was once again expanding the diameter of his pnet by another thousand kilometers.
[Energy Points:14800->13800]
Then he went to the Universe Market to sightseeing. He also wanted to gather more information regarding the second rank.
“What makes me qualify as a second rank Pnet Master?” Dian had this thought and now he was searching for it. Other than the Gathering Square where many Pnet Masters could gather and Auxiry Pagoda where you could buy Card Auxiry Ability, Dian could also go to the Pnet Master Service Center.
This pce contained many information regarding Pnet Master. Dian needed the information for entering the second rank so he inquired about it. It turned out that the service of the Pnet Master Service Center was done through consciousness.
It meant that Dian could directly look for the reted information that he needed. Then he searched about the qualification of the second rank Pnet Master.
[Looking for the reted ‘Qualification of the Second Rank Pnet Master…]
[Compiling…]
[Completed! There are 132546 entries regarding the topic]
“Give me the basics.” Dian ordered through his consciousness. Then the information was filtered until Dian found it satisfying.
[Qualification of the Second Rank Pnet Master
I am one of the more experienced Pnet Master, Tritis…]
Dian was astonished when he perceived the information. When the many Pnet Master asked who was the most famous Pnet Master, they would say the Ten Venerables’ name. And one of them was actually Tritis.
This made Dian looked at the information closely and attentively.
[…Firstly, you have to let your civilization grow to the level of dominating the entire pnet. Secondly, your civilization has to develop to a certain extent. Otherwise, you will stuck at the first rank.]
“So I need to develop my civilization more.” Dian understood what he needed to do. So he also looked at the other pieces of information to verify the information he had received. Only after that Dian could confidently know what he had to do.
Then Dian was searching through the information regarding Card Auxiry Ability. From the names to the effects, he looked at them carefully. Some of them he knew and the others were completely new to him.
After some time passed, Dian went out from the Pnet Master Service Center and moved to the Gathering Square to hear the test information regarding the community of the Pnet Master.
He heard a certain rumor about a fourth rank Pnet Master being defeated, Dian also saw some of the Pnet Master looking at him curiously. They probably wanted to guess what race Dian represented.
He went back and forth so that he could collect more information. After that, he went back to manage his own pnet.
-
At another pce in the Universe Market.
It was a pce where the Ten Venerables were staying. They stayed at the golden pace above the floating giant mountain. At this moment, one of the gates of the golden pace opened up. From there, a humanoid figure came out and moved outside.
“Good time to you…” one of the guards who was standing at the entrance to the golden pace did not expect that the one who came out was actually one of the Ten Venerables.
“…I am sorry, Your Excellency Tritis. Where are you going?” he politely asked since it was rare for the Ten Venerables to make a move. It did not mean they were indifferent to things, it was just that they were focused on their own development.
The physical form of Tritis was a humanoid with a veil covered the entire body. And from the observation, Tritis apparently chose to be more feminine so her presence was that of a female.
She replied, “I am searching for something.”
With that, she went off to the distance. As for what she had been searching for, it had to do with her Transcendent Tree.
The civilization she had was endowed with the power to calcute the trajectory of matters. It meant that her race was able to do divination. The issue came up when her race had a terrible vision that caused Tritis a nightmare for countless years.
It was unbelievable even for her but the readings from her race currently were at the most accurate since they were in the best condition. Despite the overall power of various Pnet Masters, all of them failed to defeat the one who her race designated as The Outer Beings.
No matter what Tritis did, the readings of her race did not change at all. Until seventy-five million years ago, one of the prodigies of her race saw something totally different from the major vision that her race had seen.
The Outer Being were completely decimated to the point of them being the subject of observation from a certain race. It was a race that had an advanced Technological Tree like the Machina race, some of their individuals also chose the Transcendent Tree like some of the superpower races of some Pnet Masters. Not only that but the Transcendent Tree of this race was comprehensive enough to cover all the known studies Tritis had regarding Transcendence Power.
The problem arose since she did not know what kind of race that was. Her first assumption was that the race she had seen was a newly created race. So she went outside to look for the information regarding a newly created race.
She visited the Pnet Master Service Center for a piece of new information registered regarding the newly created race but nothing showed up. Tritis did not give up and went to the Gathering Square to hear about some information.
But she only knew that some Pnet Masters had a newly created race. She decided to wait at the square until she found the race that caused the reading of her race to change so much.
‘Even the Universe Council could not take down the Outer Beings but that race can. It means that they are the only hope I can get against the Outer Beings.’ This was the only thought that she had.
So with that, she waited in the Gathering Square.
