Above The Sky

Chapter 2193: Final Chapter: Above the Sky, the Road Leading Straight to the Beyond (2)

At this moment, The End trembled.

That is its essence—the essence of the Unifying Great Star of the Terra Universe’s The End!

At the farthest reaches of the unreachable space-time, the collapsing singularity of the end bared itself in the Endless Sea of Void!

"Come, The End! I will guide your way!"

At this very moment, holding a Black Hole, Ian’s eyes seemed to burn with a silver-blue flame, and he laughed heartily, watching as the Cradle of The End finally turned its direction entirely, now moving towards him instead of returning to Terra!

—Since it’s a Pioneer, there will always be a new present and a new future!

The years he has lived, those cycles of reincarnation, will not become a burden for Ian, nor will they weigh him down in taking steps towards the distant horizon. Even as he experiences abandonment and farewell again and again, each farewell only deepens his understanding that they will eventually meet again.

Then, Ian’s gaze passed over The End, looking towards Terra.

There, a new civilization was slowly transforming.

He could not accomplish it. Even Ian could not make everyone yearn for Above the Sky.

They would hold fast to the earth, clinging to the wealth, authority, and warmth on the ground.

"Go on. Go on. Without the vastness and solidity of the earth, how could anyone stand and gaze at the stars?"

He held the small telescope close to his chest, softly whispering, "Go live, go love, go enjoy—this is your will."

"My friends, my disciples, my land will create an era where no one cries, where happiness and peace can be awaited. I can’t see it, there’s not enough time, but I can foresee it."

"And I, will wait for you Above the Sky. Whether past, future, or present, I will become a star."

"Guiding you."

"Forging the path and future for you."

—An eternal future—

—Infinite guidance—

Then, absolute, absolute...

Haha, no need to rush, not now, not yet. I haven’t thought it through, and only need to think it through.

Just wait... wait.

All that I love.

With anticipation, Ian looked towards his homeland, as if the water-blue eyes were imprinted with this star of his own.

The last glance.

Ian turned around.

The human body radiated light from the inside out, transforming towards a more sublime form, the immense Aether vibrating through space-time, constructing a brilliance that dashed towards the end.

Stepping across that last half-step, decisively and gently, as if the brilliance that would guide all things and beings in their future paths ignited here, about to depart on the journey!

The newly born Star God did not look back but headed towards beyond the Terra Cradle, where the Heavenly Prison Rift and the origin of The End lie!

The dazzling stars pierced through the silent An, straight into the Sky, the profound shadows deep as abyss, engulfing all, chasing the light.

They journey onwards, pursuing relentlessly, the dazzling stars absorbing all the fragmented planets along the way, those comets and asteroids, the Oort Cloud diffused beyond the galaxy, converting into even more brilliant radiance, all becoming the accretion disk surrounding the Ether Black Hole, a tiny yet light-speed spinning light wheel.

On this light wheel, appeared one after another Inscriptions glowing, rotating into cities and nations, mountains and plains, oceans and waves, the blazing sun, and the bright moon.

An entire world, derived from the Pioneer Platform’s Core World, forged on the event horizon of the Black Hole Seal, that is a Microcosm, an endless space-time spreading with the Aether—a silver ray after another flying out of it, racing towards the infinite beyond.

It shall explore, invite, guide. Inviting in the Endless Space-Time, countless Human Realm, countless earthly worlds, and all other Pioneers from parallel space-times to come here, becoming the stars and light in everyone’s eyes!

Finally, Ian arrived at the wound of the Terra Cradle.

The thin membrane that spans between the ’Cradle’ and the ’Great Universe.’

He crossed over.

Crossed over this high wall that blocked nearly every Ian, coming to the outside world.

The pitch-black universe, everything dimmed, all stars extinguished, or protected by the Cradle, not even a glimmer of starlight, only pure silence and darkness in the entire cosmic space.

But, Ian could see, just as he saw earlier when coming to the outside world with the Deep Space Shuttler, he saw, with Aether Force transcend time and space, viewing from the perspective of endless parallel space-times, he could see a river.

A river surging and racing, cycling endlessly, the Cradle’s river!

The surging black torrent rushing in the tranquil universe, countless cradles rotating and flowing, moving in straight lines throughout the infinitely vast universe.

Infinite cradles connected by cosmic strings, the cradle’s long river, the endless rings of space-time rotating across the infinite universe, stirring space-time, turning the whole universe into a Gödel’s Model Universe where space-time can be easily reversed, it’s even more complex, connecting endless parallel space-times.

Azure veins spreading, the universe splitting into countless tributaries, each tributary able to give rise to innumerable offshoots, this endless derivation itself being endless, with the Star God’s power as the axis of all these, turning all derivatives into light revolving around Them.

The immense space-time mass and causality, constructing the infinite Cradle into a universe-level ring.
