(First of all, Happy New Year!)
We had gotten used to calling the two separated halves of the mother planet the "Technology-Side Mother Planet" and the "Mystery-Side Mother Planet," and the Apostles separated between them the "Mystery-Side Legion" and the "Technology-Side Legion." But that was not entirely accurate. Among Pandora's commanders were members who understood magic as well. (However, ever since the New Empire was founded, these commanders had never been able to restore the Secret Art Knowledge in their Memory Banks. We had always believed that their long hibernation had damaged their memory cores, but only now did we learn that the real cause was "Conceptual Division.") It was said that among Alaya's old subordinates sleeping in this world, there were also people who used technological power. These were the so-called hybrid Shilin Apostles. These hybrid Shilin Apostles, who possessed knowledge from both the mystery and technology sides, were one of the reference points for the "Preservation Threshold" left behind by the Fifteenth Celestial Region Emperor when the mother planet split in two, ensuring that both halves could redevelop the other side's technological system. And now, these commanders had become the key to reuniting the two halves of the mother planet.
Based on Aurelia's condition, we could conclude that she had already broken away from the Empire's authority sequence. Aside from recognizing some of us as "compatriots," she was fundamentally incompatible with the New Empire's mental link. The other mystery-side commanders would likely face the same problem after awakening. This was a lingering effect of the old Conceptual Division. Forcibly adding them to the New Empire's authority tree was impossible. The only breakthrough lay with those hybrid Shilin Apostles. The knowledge they recorded should piece together into an "Unlock Code." Only by mastering that code could we completely reverse
