After the woman across introduced herself, she placed down the delicate teacup beyond her sleeve, her black eyes glanced gently at Tilan, which served as a greeting.
"Loranshia has this kind of personality, I hope Tilan won't mind," the woman across comforted Tilan.
...
"I know, you must be full of questions and confusion now, but there's no rush, let's take it slowly." The black-haired girl across softly clapped her hands, and the chess table surrounded by the four suddenly transford, as if descending from the blue horizon into layers of white clouds, further expanding and continuing downward until a verdant land, endless mountains, and wide rivers appeared below.
This special room thus fell into ti, or perhaps into the past of history, because Tilan had already recognized where this was.
"Sighing Mountain Range, Eminens?" The scenery here bears no traces of modern industry, exceptionally vintage, with ancient white stone buildings still bearing moss and water marks.
"That's right, but this is how it looked in the beginning of the Fourth Era," answered the black-haired woman across.
"Speaking of Eminens, what do you think of, little Tilan?"
"Probably the Academy, Wise Council, the birthplace of ancient legendary stories, the symbol of human historical commoration." Tilan pondered and answered.
"Yes, it has many symbolic anings, and the matters we are talking about today are related to these important significances," the woman continued to introduce.
"Since the beginning of the Fourth Era, humans re-explored the Milky Way, with various fleets developing settlents across the Star Sea; at that ti, many people had a kind of premonition."
"This is just like ancient fish evolving in different directions based on environntal change after landing on earth, the division of human civilization is also inevitable."
"Loranshir had strong influence and appeal, she could indeed suppress such division at the ti, but then, to keep humanity constrained forever under the sa form of culture without change, is that possible?"
"Such a thing is not right." The silver-haired girl gently shook her head; even though knowing she is a great historical figure, Tilan still felt a sense of cuteness.
"Yes, not only does Lolan think it's bad, many sages among humans gradually realized that a dramatic era was approaching."
"To not hinder humanity's self-renewal and evolution, we slowly retreated from the human world, offering them greater freedom, allowing everyone to choose freely." The black-haired woman continued to introduce, as if she embodied the Great Library, rembering nurous histories.
"Of course, freedom is not an omnipotent spiritual dicine, it also cos with costs, like children learning to walk for the first ti, falling is inevitable, this process is difficult to bypass."
"Initially, we were relatively optimistic, believing that even though humanity might experience civil strife, in the long run, it could be a form of motivation for progress."
"But the events that happened later, you already know."
"The chaos of the Fifth Epoch surpassed our expectations. At that ti, the transcenders constructed three major Crown technologies for human civilization, like a powerful double-edged sword, luring countless descendants to explore forward in this direction, beginning to find ways to replicate the Divine Crown of those years and step by step moving towards extres."
"Initially, only a small number of people were insane, but under the drive and pressure of powerful forces, others had to use the sa ans to confront, gradually leading the situation to extrely undesirable conditions."
"Adequate competition and pressure can lead to growth, but that kind of scenario has already made the usual learning-improvent-iteration process impossible."
"Loranshir wanted to intervene, recover so things, and and the contents of the Eternal Covenant, to restrict the birth of the Black Sun, but her sister Loranshia disagreed at this point."
The girl wearing a complex black Gothic ceremonial dress sat straight-backed on the ebony chair, with no one behind her, yet her expression remained unchanged.
"Loranshia's intention is that since we have retreated from the present world, we cannot easily renege like children, and she believed the Fifth Epoch was not particularly bad, as more cruel environnts can stimulate true trend choices, or else everything could be easily revoked and altered. Humanity could never step out of a cradle-like paradise."
"The gamble and debate between gentle sister and cruel sister unfolded at that ti, which is also the origin of the chess board in front of you today."
"Indeed, pain could spur growth, but Loranshir believed that even pain must be limited, or it would destroy the courage and hope to survive, resulting not in growth but rather despair and abandonnt."
"Loranshia's thought is very simple; she doesn't see a distinction in superiority between the Black Sun and old humans, as the Black Sun wins, they should be rewarded, not artificially interfered with to stop."
"But after all, Loranshir is Loranshia's sister, also the one who gave her life, so considering Loranshir's will, Loranshia also relaxed a restriction."
"We can project our limited power back to the present world, but cannot carry any informational hints, suggestions, etc. Humanity must make choices by themselves."
"At this point, you should understand that unless we voluntarily agree, no mortal can divide our soul essence." The black-haired woman again gently waved her finger.
"Since we cannot transmit information or hints, giving power to whom becos the only option available to us."
"To confront the Black Sun, we granted the Songstress with this unique talent, and Isenisha was the first to awaken this talent ability."
