In the silent void, the jet-black stone tablet was much larger than any object Lin Huang had ever seen. It floated in the void just like that, emitting an ancient aura. It was as if its existence was even more ancient than the void itself.
Feeling the ancient aura coming from the stone tablet, Lin Huang's mind was also evoked memories that had been sealed for a long time. They were bits and pieces of what had happened on Earth before he had transmigrated. Everything was replayed like a movie, and every detail was extremely clear. Even some of the images that had long been blurred in his memory were like videos that had been shot with the highest resolution.
The wooden door of the old house creaked when it was pushed slightly, and the lines of grain were clearly discernible. On his mother's black turtleneck sweater, fine threads that were thinner than hair were also clearly visible. There was also the ant nest that he had filled with water when he was young. Lin Huang could even count how many ants had crawled out … Even when he had no memories of his infancy, some of the things that Lin Huang did not have any impression of were now crystal clear.
"What exactly is this stone tablet? Just the aura that it emits can affect my memory. "
As the stone tablet got closer, Lin Huang could see that the surface of the stone tablet seemed to have been hit by countless meteorites. Large pits that looked like they had been smashed by meteorites covered three-quarters of the area on the front of the stone tablet. Around the sunken pits, there were obvious cracks that extended into the distance like spider webs. A few large cracks were particularly conspicuous. Lin Huang looked as hard as he could, but he could not see the end of it like a bottomless abyss.
The entire stone tablet seemed to have suffered heavy damage. Judging from the number of pits and the depth of the cracks, it was already very difficult for it to maintain a complete piece without collapsing.
"It shouldn't have been hit by a meteorite. God objects have their own consciousness. When they are hit by a meteorite, they will activate the energy defense layer. There is no trace of it at all. Moreover, with the strength of a god object, even if the defense layer is completely activated, the traces left by a meteorite would be very limited. It is impossible to cause such damage. To be able to make a God Item like this, it's more likely that it's man-made (including humans and monsters), and only a True God or a True God powerhouse could do it. "
"I'm afraid this divine item is not an ordinary item. Even after suffering such heavy damage, its power is still able to cover the entire island with an area of more than a million square kilometers, causing curse-like effects on it."
The more he analyzed these details, the more Lin Huang felt that this divine object was not simple.
Seeing that the stone tablet was heading in his direction, a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.
"This thing isn't coming for me, is it?"
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Huang immediately fled into the distance, trying to avoid the path of the stone tablet. However, he soon realized that the stone tablet's path had changed. It was still chasing after him.
"They're really coming for me!"
Lin Huang's expression turned grave. He changed his direction and turned his head to look. He saw that the stone tablet had changed its direction again and was chasing after him. He tried to change his direction a few more times, and the stone tablet changed its direction again and again. It was still facing him, and it was getting closer and closer to him.
Even after activating his double acceleration and increasing his speed to its maximum, he could not increase the distance between him and the stone tablet.
"I can't escape anymore …" Lin Huang gave up. He knew that it would be a waste of his energy if he continued to escape, so he decided not to run anymore.
After crushing a Transformation Card, Lin Huang's combat strength was instantly elevated from gold flame-level to immortal-level rank-4. He had three spare Provisional Combat Strength Upgrade Cards in his left sleeve, and he held the Air Slicer in his right hand.
He hovered in mid-air, facing the stone tablet. His eyes were cold, and he was ready to fight.
The gigantic black stone tablet seemed to be moving slowly, but it was actually moving fast. Soon, it was approaching Lin Huang.
Seeing that it was only a few hundred meters away, Lin Huang's Sword Dao was condensed to its maximum, and he was ready to attack at any time.
However, at this moment, the stone tablet suddenly stopped moving. It hovered about a hundred meters in front of Lin Huang.
Just when Lin Huang thought it was strange, a voice that sounded like thunder exploded in his ears.
"Human, there's something special about your soul."
Lin Huang was stunned to hear that. He used his Divine Telekinesis in all directions, and at the same time, he scanned his surroundings. However, he found nothing.
Soon, he reacted and shifted his gaze to the gigantic stone tablet that was not far away from him. He retreated hundreds of meters away, looking at the direction of the stone tablet with his guard up.
There was nothing around him, and it was obvious that the voice was coming from the stone tablet.
"Don't worry, I don't mean any harm to humans." The voice was heard again.
"Are you this stone tablet? Or are you a creature that's hiding in the stone tablet? " Lin Huang asked directly. "Since you don't mean any harm, why don't you show yourself and talk to me face to face?"
Ever since Lin Huang came to this world, he had seen many talking monsters. However, he had only seen his Goldfinger, Xiao Hei, which was the only thing that could talk.
Therefore, when he first heard the voice, he did not think that it was the stone tablet that was talking. Instead, he thought that there was another creature nearby. However, he was not sure if it was the stone tablet or the creature inside the stone tablet that was talking. However, he was not sure if it was the stone tablet or the creature inside the stone tablet that was talking.
Lin Huang did not get an answer to his question. However, after a moment of silence, he realized that the stone tablet was shrinking rapidly.
In less than ten seconds, the gigantic stone tablet that was bigger than a star had shrunk to three meters tall. Almost at the same time, the voice was heard again in Lin Huang's ears.
"You should know what I am now, right?"
The answer was self-evident. Lin Huang looked at the stone tablet that was not far away from him in shock. He could not imagine that such a gigantic object could shrink to such an extent in the blink of an eye.
He only snapped back to his senses a moment later, but he still looked cautious. "You said that you don't mean any harm to humans. Why did you bring me here?"
"Your soul has a familiar aura …" The stone tablet paused. "If I'm not mistaken, you're a traveler. Am I right?"
Lin Huang's heart skipped a beat. It was his first time being exposed. However, he remained expressionless and did not answer the question.
"I'm sorry, I'm being rude. It's been a long time since I've dealt with humans. My conversational skills are rusty. " The stone tablet changed the topic after it finished speaking. "Before I let you answer my personal question, I should tell you about myself."
"In fact, my previous master was a transmigrator just like you. Both of your soul auras are somewhat similar. Moreover, I can clearly sense the aura of the Goldfinger in your body because I used to be a Goldfinger too. "
"You're a Goldfinger too?" Lin Huang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He clearly remembered that Xiao Hei used to say that Goldfingers could devour each other. He could also sense that Xiao Hei in his body had gone completely silent since it entered this space. There was no notification when he used the Transformation Card earlier. He had neglected this detail earlier. Now that he thought about it, Xiao Hei must have sensed the existence of the stone tablet and was forced to go into hibernation.
Judging from the stone tablet's current condition, it should be able to recover most of its injuries if it devoured Xiao Hei. Lin Huang's expression turned grave as he thought about it.
Seeing the drastic change in Lin Huang's expression, the stone tablet seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.
"Don't worry. I won't attack you or do anything to your Goldfinger. It's only a Two-Star Goldfinger. Even if I devour it, it won't do much to my recovery. Moreover, it's still in its complete form. There's a risk of a severe backlash if I devour it. "
"Two-Star Goldfinger?" Lin Huang muttered in a low voice. He was a little suspicious because he remembered that Little Black's authority had been upgraded several times.
"You don't even know the level of your Authority?" The stone tablet was puzzled. "It seems like your Goldfinger has a bad personality."
"Uh, it's alright." Lin Huang suddenly remembered that when he first obtained Xiao Hei, his character card evaluation was terrible for a long time. "Can you tell me more about this level of authority?"
"That's simple. The authority level is only related to the host's life level. A normal person's Cheat Finger would only have a One-Star Authorization, while a Transcendent's Cheat Finger would have a Two-Star Authorization, and a God Level would have a Three-Star Authorization, and so on. "
"You mean to say that sometimes, when the system notifies me that my privileges have increased, it's actually not because my Star Privileges have increased?" Lin Huang asked hurriedly.
"The notification that you're talking about should be about the upgrade of functions, including the unlocking of functions and the upgrade of functions. This was an improvement that could be obtained when certain conditions were met, and it had nothing to do with the host's Life Level. Functions and Star Privileges are two different things. However, every time the Star Privileges are upgraded, some functions will be unlocked. "
The stone tablet's explanation enlightened Lin Huang.
"Can I ask you some other questions?" The stone tablet's explanation made Lin Huang a little braver.
"Go ahead. I'll try my best to answer you if I can."
"How many Star Authorization did you have?" Lin Huang asked in a testing manner.
"Four-Star." The stone tablet did not hide anything.
"Four-Star?! So, your previous master's ability was above the god-level? "Lin Huang was shocked.
"Yes, his ability was the top powerhouse in the great world."
"Has he passed away?" Normally, a Goldfinger would not exist without its host. Since the stone tablet had appeared here and was so damaged, Lin Huang could not help but speculate.
"Yes." After a moment of silence, the stone tablet answered the question.
"With his ability and your help, how did he pass away?" Lin Huang could not imagine how the stone tablet's previous master had died.
"He offended a powerful enemy that he shouldn't have offended." The stone tablet brushed the question aside. It was obvious that it was unwilling to talk about this topic.
Noticing that, Lin Huang stopped asking about the topic. After a moment of silence, he changed the topic.
"Why did you bring me here? I don't think it's just because my soul aura is similar to your master's. "
The stone tablet fell into a long silence again. It only spoke again after a long while.
"I'll be honest. I brought you here because I want you to be my host."
"Wait, you should know that I can only form a contract with one Goldfinger, right?" Lin Huang frowned. Normally, he would not mind having too many Goldfingers. However, he clearly remembered that the contract with a Goldfinger was unique, so he could not form a contract with a second one.
