Isengard's Soul Light Body

Since January 1, Terra Year 777, when the victor of the Sun War, Ian Silverpeak, Edge of the Falling Sun, returned to the Terra Continent and issued the Perpetual Motion Machine Declaration, the world had begun to change.

The most obvious change was that the world war, once raging like wildfire, had now come to a complete halt.

More precisely, even before the Sun War, the intensity of wars across the continent had gradually been declining.

Conflicts between nations had become routine. Part of the reason was that countries had recalled large numbers of high-level combatants to study the Arcane Path. Another was that, after fighting to this point, the gains and losses of each stage had already become clear.

If they kept fighting, unless they increased their investment further, they would gain no greater results.

This laid excellent groundwork for a ceasefire.

As for why they had to stop fighting... the reason was simple.

From top to bottom, no one wanted to fight anymore.

The powerful did not want to fight because they did not want people to die—the emergence of the Perpetual Motion Machine had made victory and defeat in war extraordinarily laughable. Killing the enemy's soldiers was nothing more than providing the other side with an unwavering bloc of dead voters, while if one's own side died during an offensive, they might instead come to hate their own side.

At this point, no one wished to take the initiative to attack another nation. Whether they won or lost, the losses outweighed the gains.

And for ordinary people... hey, who wanted war?!

No matter who obtained the Perpetual Motion Machine in the future, everyone would most likely enjoy good days ahead. So why abandon those good days for war? If they died now, that would truly be the
