I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

You would never hear from Rast that he felt tired and needed to rest.

"Yes, in the past, even if my body and mind had reached their limits, I would have forced myself to continue in order to achieve my goal and become stronger."

"It is precisely because of this... that I destroyed my body and soul in Deep Blue Harbor."

“I dare not and do not want to admit that I have limits and will feel exhausted – because once I admit this, the despair and powerlessness of being trapped in the remnants of history, unable to escape forever, will consume me and plunge me into the abyss.”

Luster nodded calmly.

"But now I am no longer afraid to face my own flaws and weaknesses."

"I am only human. There are limits to what my willpower can overcome... My body fails, and my mind tires."

"I also have human weaknesses. I have concerns in my heart and I will try to escape..."

“When I’m tired, I want to seek support from others.”

In front of Rast's eyes, the figure of the blonde girl appeared again above the sky that was burned black and red by the fire.

He had not forgotten the words Amis said to him in her heart before she activated her angelic power and sent him and Dean Yin downstream in the long river of history.

"We'll meet... in Canaan."

That was Xiao Ai's invitation to him, and it was also a positive response to the worries that Last had in his heart before.

The angel of judgment is herself, and the blonde girl in the small town of Canaan is also Amis herself.

Because of this, the first time——

Luster felt such a clear expectation rising in his heart.

Expectations for the future and longing for things to happen.

"So, if I continue to abandon myself like that, and waste and indulge myself, leaving my body and mind riddled with holes and in ruins..."

"If Xiao Ai knew about this, she would probably feel bad too."

"Heartache? What kind of heartache?"

Listening to Last's mumbling, Dean Yin shook his head in confusion.

Regarding everything about Canaan, Amis communicated directly with Last through the Telepathy Institute, so Dean Yin knew nothing.

"Do not--"

Luster smiled slightly.

"nothing."

He transformed his consciousness into tentacles and gently touched the flickering azure light curtain in his mind.

In the afterglow of flowing time, hazy starlight suddenly descends.

Beside Last, Dean Yin poked his head out and looked curiously at the starlight that suddenly descended beside him.

Although he had heard about it countless times from students of Star University, this was the first time that Dean Yin personally entered the night world.

Therefore, this experience of being out of the night world is also a rather novel experience for it. Dean Yin's curious look as he stretched out his claws to explore is just like a real pet ferret.

Then, the starlight intertwined with the gauzy night.

Then, like the night sky, it gently wrapped up Last, Dean Yin, and the entire broken world.

In the increasingly dark night and the gradually fading consciousness, Last saw lines of azure blue words passing through his mind.

……

[Night World Mission - Echoes of the Era "The Disaster of Omnics: The Lost Angel of Judgment" has been cleared]

[Current mission rating: EX]

【Task rewards have been issued】

[Since your level has reached the limit of the current class, the sequence experience has been stored]

[Your Sequence Long-Stage "Tower" has reached the sixth stage, current level: 69 (peak of the sixth stage)]

[The remaining sequence experience will be distributed after you break through the legendary rank.]

You have obtained the Sixth Epoch Civilization Relic: "Mechanical Spark Source"

Chapter 226: Holy Relic Mechanical Fire Source

"After completing this level of Historical Echoes..."

"Have I finally reached the threshold of legend?"

Looking at the blue prompt that was constantly flashing in his mind, Last couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The peak of the sixth level, this is the level he is standing on right now on the long steps of the "High Tower".

If one were to sink one's consciousness into the tower called "The Fool's Library," one would be able to see behind the card called "High Tower Rast"—

The long staircase that went up step by step and led to the void had six steps illuminated by light.

All that remained were the last three steps, located higher up, hidden in nothingness and darkness.

In a sense, at this moment, Rast has already reached the end of the realm that humans can step into.

One more step forward and you will become a legend.

And whether it is a legend or an angel, the essence of life has undergone a transformation, evolving from human to non-human... the true realm of mythology.

Of course, achieving legend and setting foot in the divine realm... seems to be only one step away, but it is actually a chasm in the true sense of the word.

Throughout history, countless brilliant and extraordinary people have been blocked at this legendary pass, unable to cross this final step in their entire lives.

Since the end of the first mythological era, even in the golden age when civilization was the most prosperous in the following era, there has never been an era in which the number of legendary strongmen in the world exceeded two palms.

This was the case in the Sixth Age, and it is also the case in today’s world.

"Become... a legend?"

Luster sighed softly.

Today, he is no longer the newbie in the extraordinary world... Noah, Cecil, Gray, these people are all legendary strong people he has personally come into contact with.

The "Fool's Library" also preserves the experiences and information of previous generations of shore guardians who have broken through the legends.

However, these materials can only serve as a reference for Last and cannot directly point out the way for him.

As Dean Yin once said... different sequences of stairs have different ways to reach higher places.

Leader Cecil used his mental power to construct a model of a pseudo-star, an imaginary sun, in his mind to create the legend of the "Sun" sequence.

During her long period of training and exploration, Grey further perceived the flow of fate and deduced a broader future branch, thus creating the legendary "Fate" sequence.

As for Dean Silver, even today, Rast is still unclear about the specific rank and combat capability of this ferret... but it seems that Dean Silver's hundreds of years of continuous contact with humans and the process of feeling the radiance of souls should also be the way Dean Silver's "Moon" sequence is practiced.

Although the ways of breaking through the legend are different, there is no doubt that they have all walked out a legendary path that is unique and cannot be replicated based on their own sequences.

So what about yourself?

Luster stared at the slowly rotating "Tower" card in the "Fool's Library," which featured a portrait of himself wearing a jet-black windbreaker.

On the back of the card, there is a picture of a Tower of Babel standing on top of a mountain, towering into the clouds.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, destroying the Tower of Babel. The entire tower, made of bricks and stone, was ablaze with flames.

In the raging flames that destroyed everything, countless people fell from the tower and plummeted to the ground.

Among all the twenty-two Major Arcana cards, only the Tower card has a bad meaning when interpreted in both upright and reversed positions.

It symbolizes disaster, misfortune, unexpected loss of control and collapse, destruction and destruction from the foundation.

Walking up this long staircase of the "Tower" sequence that no one has ever set foot on before, I am alone...

What exactly is that legendary road that belongs to you?

Such thoughts are only fleeting.

Soon, Rast regained his composure.

Whether it was to reunite with Xiao Ai, or to find Gray in the deepest part of the starry sea from that transaction with fate—

Or perhaps it is to realize the ideal of being a "shore guard" in one's heart.

Whether it is a legend or an angel, they are obstacles that Rast must overcome. He cannot and is unwilling to bypass them.

In fact, in Rast's heart, he already had a general direction...

An extremely crazy idea.

It is also the path for him to break through to the seventh level and become the first "Tower" sequence legend in history.

However, ideas are just ideas after all... We still need to take action to turn the ideas in our hearts into reality.

With this thought in mind, Last once again shifted his attention to the prompt information of the Night World.

You have obtained the Sixth Epoch Civilization Relic: "Mechanical Spark Source"

【Mechanical Fire Source】

Category: Holy Relic

[Relic Binding Object: Rast]

[Origin of the Holy Relic: Late Sixth Era, Western Continent Human Republic Federation]

[Introduction: This is the product of the Human Federation, which was born at the end of the Sixth Epoch. It condenses many cutting-edge scientific technologies, such as "pseudo-artificial intelligence", "virtual reality projection", "mechanized transformation", "secondary dimension folding technology", and "controlled nuclear fusion miniaturization".

It is this high-tech civilization, which, although short-lived, has written a significant chapter in the long river of history. It is the supreme crystallization of science and technology and the brilliant echo of a glorious civilization.

It is also "humanity," a gift given to the hero who once rewrote the course of human history.

[Relic Function: A mechanical spark containing all the cutting-edge technology of the Sixth Epoch Civilization. Its internal structure can be freely adjusted to the host's will, and it can be used as the core to construct a unique intelligent mechanical creation for the host.]

In Rast's hand, a slowly flowing metal block the same size as a Rubik's Cube, as if composed of countless flowing metal particles, quietly materialized and floated silently.

This is the only reward that Last obtained after completing the night world this time, besides the sequence experience.

It was not the "heraldic attire" that Rast was used to, but a holy relic called the "Mechanical Spark Source".

It didn't look very big and looked quite inconspicuous in Rast's hands.

But Last knew clearly that within that seemingly inconspicuous, Rubik's Cube-like liquid metal shell, there lay hidden a power capable of destroying an entire city.

Chapter 227: Last, I've Been Waiting for You in Canaan (Two in One)

Last played with the small mechanical core in his hand.

It was clearly cold, amorphous liquid metal formed by countless particles, but with the movement of Last's fingertips, the Rubik's Cube-like mechanical core was also changing its shape freely.

The mechanical creation seemed to be given life at this moment.

Mechanical Core

Last was no stranger to this term.

In the world outside the night world, any qualified mechanic must have a mechanical core that belongs to him alone and has signed a soul contract with him.

This is a creation that is connected to the fate and soul of every mechanic... It is also the hub that allows mechanics to thoroughly integrate the mechanical creations, weapons, and methods they possess into a unified whole.

To put it simply, this is the "portable intelligent brain" described in many of Last's fantasy works in his previous life.

Precisely because they are connected to the core soul of the machine, mechanics do not need voice commands or specific operations. Instead, they only need a thought in their minds to directly materialize the various tactics, applications, preset plans... and many technological weapons in the arsenal stored in the database.

As the most important thing for every mechanic, the mechanical core can also be upgraded.

As mechanics update their databases, master newer technologies, and equip themselves with more powerful and destructive weapons... the mechanical cores will also be transformed and even sublimated.

For example, at Starry University, Dean Agatha of the Ashes Academy, and the Second Princess Ophelia... These top mechanics wield forbidden weapons that threaten the lives of legends. The mechanical cores connected to their souls have already undergone countless iterations and upgrades - they are the crystallization of a mechanic's entire life's work, knowledge, and efforts.

And what Last had obtained from the Night World reward at this moment was also a mechanical core... a completely blank mechanical core that was still in its most initial state and had never been contracted.

However, the mechanical core that Last obtained is different from the mechanical cores possessed by all mechanics in reality.

"Holy Relic..."

He whispered the flickering word.

The mechanical fire source obtained by Last was defined by the Night World as not an ordinary "heraldic attire" but a "holy relic".

This was the first time that Last had received a Night World mission reward of this level... Not only him, but there seemed to be no such precedent in the entire Starry University database.
