Chapter 1706 The Final Reward, The Origin of Martial Arts (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The "Song of Immortality" achievement was obtained from the previous dungeon run. Its trigger condition is 'it has a chance to activate when a player performs a monumental feat that changes the course of history.'

Although it's a probability-based achievement, the "Defiant Ones" achievement, which also has a similar probability of triggering, has almost become a regular feature. This time, judging from the system's evaluation, the triggering conditions have been met, so He Ao thinks this achievement should be able to be triggered.

Sure enough, the achievement was successfully triggered.

Of course, upgrading this achievement has a downside: the rewards for upgrading are linked to deeper, unknown entities.

But He Ao didn't care. He already had enough 'friends', so one or two more wouldn't make a difference. Besides, based on his previous experience, the fused items were more likely to involve the gods that had appeared in the dungeon.

For example, the last historical covenant involved the Lord of Hell, the Witch of Desire, and a close friend, and also added 'history', 'destiny', and an 'unknown' entity.

But all of these were more or less related to him, and some of the knowledge he gained from the reward introduction even helped him later.

He Ao has now discovered that having many friends is beneficial.

If he only knew one or two deities, such as his good friend and the elder sister, he would have been killed by the elder sister this time.

Making one friend is dangerous, making two friends is even more dangerous, but making a group of friends can bring some surprises.

So the moment the prompt appeared, He Ao made his choice immediately.

[You have chosen to fuse and upgrade 'Innocent Eyes', 'Divine Shadow', and 'Starry Tears'.]

[Upgrading your rewards, please wait...]

[Since the upgrade reward is the final reward, congratulations on triggering the achievement 'Legendary Player']

[Legendary Player: When the overall mission rating reaches Legendary, a chance effect will occur, upgrading the player's final reward.]

The 'Legendary Player' achievement is obtained from this dungeon, and it will always be triggered on the first try, according to the pattern.

Yes, the reward upgrade is only available through comprehensive evaluation.

He Ao raised his head and looked out the window. The sky was gradually brightening, and the sunlight shone on the earth, bringing the breath of dawn.

A faint car horn sounded from the distant street. He Ao stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.

Last night's raindrops carried away the dust in the air, bringing fresh air.

Silent ripples surged in the void, and the first rays of dawn shone down from the sky, bringing with them a surge of power that He Ao absorbed into his chest.

He Ao stretched out his hand, and a gentle breeze arose on the ground, brushing against his fingertips.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Under the dim sky, clouds drifted and rolled, as if the world was whispering to him.

[Reward Upgrade Successfully]

At this moment, the system's reward upgrade is finally complete.

It was even later than last time.

The moment He Ao saw those words, his body had already passed through the window and disappeared into the void with the sound of the train speeding by.

Congratulations on obtaining: Voice of the Stars

[Voice of the Sea of ​​Stars:]
Legend has it that if you listen quietly on a deserted night, you will hear a faint undulation, which is the sound of the stars breathing.

Civilizations in the universe always ponder the question: Does the earth beneath our feet have its own will? Do the stars in our sky possess life?

Some ancient philosophers once believed that the earth has its own will, the world has its own life, and each of the stars floating in the void is an independent individual.

The wizards were not interested in this topic, because they had already determined that the earth and the world had a certain will, but this will was not the same as the will of life and civilization.

The knowledge passed down through history is engraved with what has happened. In the distant past, some people heard the voice of the earth.

But later, only a select few extraordinary individuals possessed the ability to communicate with the stars and borrow power from the earth or the stars.

Just as humans cannot communicate with the microorganisms on their own bodies, civilizations dwelling on the stars often struggle to comprehend the will of the earth.

Wizards have been searching for a way to communicate smoothly with the stars and the earth.

They travel through time and space, visiting countless ancient civilizations; they traverse the void, venturing into the abyss and hell; they excavate relics, listening to the voices of ancient history.

They were both very close to the earth and very far away; they could never comprehend the earth's power or hear the voice of the stars.

Ultimately, some ancient wizards chose to turn to the truth.

Guided by the truth, they reached the end of the universe.

That was the beginning of time and space, the source of the long river of history.

There, the world's underworld and surface unfold together and merge.

The will of the stars also gathers here.

No one knows what the ancient wizards communicated with the stars.

In the end, only one wizard left, but he remained silent about what had happened at the end of the universe.

After that, he began to wander the universe, visiting every planet with civilization and communicating with it.

He was selfless and impartial, imparting his precious knowledge to the civilizations he interacted with without reservation. Countless civilizations were introduced to the mysteries because of his guidance.

His statues are found throughout the universe, and even the Church, under divine rule, has dedicated a biography to him.

His name is known throughout the universe, and his achievements are etched into the annals of history.

As the ancient era passed, his name gradually faded into history.

Some say he successfully traveled throughout the entire universe, others say he reached the end of his life and passed away on his journey, and still others say he eventually returned to the end of the universe and reunited with his companions.

But no one knew where the ancient wizard had gone, until people gradually forgot about his deeds.

After an unknown period of time, life forms appeared on earth that could communicate with the world. They drew power from the world, infused it into their bodies, and gained immortal life.

No one knows who first discovered this method, but almost simultaneously, people from different civilizations across the stars came to understand it.

Some say it is a gift from some god, others say it is some ancient inheritance, while those who were the first in civilization to gain power firmly believe that the world chose them.

And so, from that moment on, life heard the voice of the earth once again.

New power brings new conflict. Even though these superhumans who rely on the power of the earth cannot go too far from the earth and cannot break through further, a long period of turmoil still begins.

Amidst this turmoil and war, some wizards who had acquired new powers began searching for the origins of these powers and seeking further methods.

Finally, on the edge of the starry sea, in an exceptionally prosperous galaxy, they discovered the dwelling left behind by an ancient wizard.

This dwelling is located at the center of the galaxy, seemingly far from the sea of ​​stars, yet also seemingly very close. Standing beside it, one can almost hear the endless sound of the tides, but upon closer listening, it seems to be the sound of the stars themselves.

After sending out a final message, the wizards prepared to land on the planet.

After that, until the end of the war, the wizards never sent back any new messages.

When the new wizards arrived, they found not the prosperous star system mentioned in the news, but a dim and empty void.

A thick purple mist covered the entire void.

At the very center of the void, only a small, conch-shaped gem resonated with ancient, undulating sounds.

That's the stars breathing.

The holder of the Voice of the Stars can communicate with any world or forcibly obtain the world's blessing.

The holder of the Voice of the Stars can receive the blessings of the stars, and the blessings will never cease as long as the starlight shines.

Under certain conditions, the holder of the Voice of the Stars possesses the ability to transform and catalyze the world.

Under the starlight, the holder of the Voice of the Stars can travel between worlds they have previously communicated with.

Under the starlight, when the enchanting song begins, the holder of the Starry Voice can transform any life into a beautiful woman and influence the emotions of everyone around them.

Under the starlight, the holder of the Voice of the Stars will gain the ability to hear the mysteries.

In the starless night, the holder of the Voice of the Stars can hear the breath of the stars.

Please note that the songs of the stars contain both blessings and curses.

Please note that as you pass through the starry sky, the starry sky also passes through you.

Please note that when you listen closely to the mystery, the mystery you are listening to is also listening closely.

Please note that you may not always hear the guidance of truth.

Please note that gifts stolen from the world come with a price tag.

Please note that the place illuminated by starlight is the place where the power of the stars reaches.

Please note that the breathing of the starry sea contains the secrets of an ancient era, and is also intertwined with the history and destiny of that ancient time.

Please note that when you gaze upon the stars, you are already among them.

[Reward has been issued, please check.]

The hazy starlight pierced through the dim void, illuminating the azure planet.

He Ao felt his fingers sink slightly, as if something had fallen into his palm.

He Ao raised his head and glanced around.

At this moment, he is in near-Earth space, and his body is constantly rising, detaching from the ground. After becoming an angel, his body is no longer restricted by oxygen.

Based on past experience, the things the system throws out occasionally cause a big commotion, and the stronger the thing, the more likely it is to cause a commotion. So this time he prepared in advance and came directly to space, so that if any problems occurred, it wouldn't cause any serious consequences.

But this time, it seems no motive has been revealed, and nothing seems to have changed around us; everything is so quiet.

He continued to distance himself from the planet not far away, lowered his head, and looked at the item in his palm.

It was a 'gem' only about half the size of his palm. The entire gem was a pale green with some purple spots, like impurities trapped inside.

The gemstone also has a somewhat 'special' shape. It is roughly conch-shaped, and at first glance it looks like a small horn, with the hollow inside that only conch shells have.

However, the gemstone shows no signs of artificial polishing and looks completely natural, as if it had always been there.

He gazed quietly at the gem in his hand.

Aside from being somewhat attractive, this gemstone is otherwise quite ordinary, with a very dull luster and lacking the sparkling quality of ordinary gemstones. There's nothing particularly unusual about it.

He Ao raised his head, trying to penetrate the gem with his divine sense and super memory, while glancing again at the words that had not yet completely disappeared from his vision.

This "Voice of the Stars," which the system has marked with eight "please note," seems to be something even more dangerous than the Historical Book.

However, He's attention was not entirely on the eight things to note, but rather on the background story introduction.

The background story of The Voice of the Stars tells a lot of stories that seem to have no direct connection to The Voice of the Stars, about wizards searching for a way to communicate with the world.

These stories seem like normal wizard adventure tales, and among the many wizard adventure stories in the system, they aren't particularly outrageous.

However, He Ao had a strong sense of déjà vu when watching this story.

The newly emerged power the system spoke of caused violent upheaval throughout the universe. Such a powerful force, why is there no trace of it now? Did it not survive? Did it disappear again?

This power has probably been passed down, only under a different name:
Martial arts.

The so-called communication with the world to gain its blessings is essentially the process of advancing through martial arts to become an angel.

He Ao has already gone through this process once in the dungeon world.

However, if some words in the system story are replaced, such as replacing 'new power' with 'martial arts' and 'communicating with the world' with 'martial arts ascension to angelism', the whole story makes perfect sense.

Therefore, the background story of "Voice of the Stars" is essentially the origin story of martial arts.

Or rather, the origin story of martial arts power in this era.

As mentioned in the background story, in an even earlier ancient era, there were people who could communicate with the world, but for some reason, this ability disappeared, and martial arts probably disappeared along with it.

Although in the system's backstory, the wizard's attempt to communicate with the world doesn't seem to have a necessary connection with the origin of martial arts, since the system puts these two stories together, there is most likely an intrinsic connection between them.

And it is very likely a causal relationship.

Otherwise, the young wizards who later mastered martial arts wouldn't have gone out of their way to find the relics of that ancient wizard and seek ways to advance their martial arts further.

The connection between everything lies with that ancient wizard who is the only one to have emerged from the end of the world and traveled throughout the entire universe.

He must have seen or gained something at the end of the world.

He must have done something during his travels throughout the universe that ultimately led to the revival of martial arts power in this era.

This backstory actually contains a wealth of information.

The system always manages to inexplicably produce some good stuff.

However, He Ao truly did not expect that an item combining the three gods, 'Desire Witch', 'Mysterious Shadow', and 'Lord of the Stars', could drop something related to the origin of martial arts.

He looked down at the gem in his hand. The dull gem seemed to have gained some color now, but it still looked unremarkable overall.

I need some votes at the end of the month.
