That was quite a long time ago, and the development seems different from reality.
Could it be... another possibility?
The Ashen King suppressed the curiosity and doubt in his heart and continued to watch from Ian's perspective.
In this world line, most things developed in the same sequence. In the Southern Sea Great Labyrinth event, Ashen Ian, like the First Era, did not participate much, only entering the Southern Sea Great Labyrinth with Weyges at the end to fight the Swarm and finally witnessed Hiliard's end with Yisen Gard and others.
[Really?!]
During this process, the Ashen King widened his eyes, and the dignified Fifth Energy Level also became a curious bystander.
Even he did not know many of the events within the Southern Sea Great Labyrinth, and it turned out Hiliard had already passed during that time. Doesn't that mean Ian Silverpeak relied entirely on his own strength to develop the Arcane Pathway, rather than inheriting Yinaiga and Hiliard's legacy as they thought?
