[Just now... when the crystal was handed over, was it Ian?]
As he handed the inheritance crystal of the Terra Dragon to the Heart of Terra, the Duke of Steep Ridge keenly sensed the change in aura at that moment.
It was not merely instinct; rather, as a 'Degraded Incomplete Star God,' he only possessed the peak power of the Fourth Energy Level, but his sensitivity to parallel space-time was no less sharp than Ian's.
If he hadn't been trapped in Steep Ridge Fortress by the True Aether Furnace and his own wrong choices, he might have even traced back to Ian's current location in space-time based on that single instant of Ian's appearance.
Of course, if Ian had already infiltrated the Ether Sea, he'd have no way to do so.
"Indeed, he was."
And the Heart of Terra, without any intent to conceal, nodded readily and said: "Father is with me."
"Not just him, but he is with all his friends and subjects."
[This is a realm higher than mine]
The Duke of Steep Ridge could only sigh.
