After finalizing the conditions for lending the Ethereal National Treasure, Han Xiao spent a lot of time calculating the distance of the various Beyonder's Vestige sensing sources. The result shocked him.
He originally thought that all the Beyonder's Vestige might be in the unexplored area of the universe because it was too far away, so he could only calculate a vague distance. However, he did not expect one of the sensing sources to successfully locate it. It was very close, in the Ancient Star Desert!
This surprised him.
What he was most afraid of was that all the Beyonder's Vestige were too far away. Who knew how much time it would take? He was prepared for a long voyage, but he did not expect a pleasant surprise. This way, it would be much easier to fulfill this Promotion condition.
However, apart from being happy, Han Xiao was also very curious about which brother in the galactic society had left behind this legacy.
After obtaining the location data, Han Xiao did not delay and immediately set off for the Ancient Star Desert to find the target.
…
In a desolate universe belt in the Ancient Star Desert.
This was a space area without any celestial bodies. A dazzling starlight suddenly lit up in the distance. A hyperdrive stream of light shot over from afar and stopped in this area, revealing Han Xiao in his mechanical suit.
"The location is around here. Speaking of which, there doesn't seem to be anything special here. Is there really no problem with the sensing?"
Han Xiao muttered to himself as he observed his surroundings. He felt that this area was ordinary, and there was nothing worth paying attention to. A normal Beyond Grade A's perception did not detect anything abnormal.
He calmed himself down and activated the Beyonder's Vestige. The normal environment around him suddenly changed.
A white gauze-like fog appeared out of thin air and slowly changed its shape. It floated and moved slowly, looking very inconspicuous.
"This is the Beyonder's Vestige?"
Han Xiao was surprised.
If not for the fact that his senses were pointing at this fog, he would have thought that he had recognized it wrongly. The appearance of the Beyonder's Vestige was very different from what he had imagined. He had thought that it would be more gorgeous.
He squinted his eyes and took a closer look. Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he realized that the mist was composed of a very peculiar particle. He had mastered so many techniques, but he had never seen such a particle before. He felt a strange sense of harmony from it, which made him think of the word "perfect".
"It's said that the Beyonder's Vestige condenses the life essence, soul consciousness, and core energy of the deceased when they advanced. It's equivalent to transforming everything about this Super into this particle and preserving it in this form. Then, this particle form might be the key to a higher level …"
Han Xiao muttered to himself.
As a researcher, he did not immediately touch this Beyonder's Vestige. Instead, he first recorded this particle form and stored it in an encrypted database. If anything happened on this trip, he could still study it himself in the future.
After doing this, Han Xiao calmed down and let out a long breath.
"Done … Let me see what's so special about the Beyonder's Vestige."
As he spoke, Han Xiao extended his hand and tried to touch the target. However, his hand passed through it, as if this ball of light was just a mirage, just an illusion.
He raised his brows and tried to use his energy to guide it, but it was still ineffective. This Beyonder's Vestige was still unaffected and continued to float on its own.
With an experimental attitude, Han Xiao tried all sorts of methods, but the results were the same. Even (Bold Explorer) did not work. Only then did he finally confirm that there was no way to capture the Beyonder's Vestige using normal methods.
"It seems like even if the external environment changes, the Beyonder's Vestige will not be affected. Only living beings in a critical state like me can come into contact with it …"
Han Xiao found the experience of activating his sensory vision and felt the rhythm of his cells in a critical state. It was quite similar to the feeling of meditation, and his mind kept sinking into the deep sea of consciousness.
After a while, Han Xiao suddenly felt a change. It was as if a ripple had bloomed in his body and reverberated throughout his body, bringing about an electric shock at the cell level, forming some kind of resonance.
Han Xiao opened his eyes and touched the Beyonder's Vestige again. This time, he finally touched the real thing. He felt as if his palm had stabbed into the core of a star, and it was extremely hot.
This Beyonder's Vestige finally reacted. The light fog wrapped around Han Xiao's arm and climbed up bit by bit. A suction force came from inside as if it wanted to slowly swallow him. If it was cold and indifferent just now, it was now enthusiastically wrapped around him, not wanting Han Xiao to leave its body.
Just as Han Xiao was experiencing this feeling, the Beyonder's Vestige seemed to have been stimulated. It suddenly shrank and exploded. A dazzling light instantly gushed out and enveloped Han Xiao.
His vision instantly turned into a white world, and he could not see anything else.
"What's this?"
Han Xiao suddenly lost his sense of position and immediately tried to retreat. However, he realized that no matter how he moved, he could not walk out of this white world. The white light around him extended endlessly as if there was no end to it.
"Have I been brought to an alternate dimension?"
Han Xiao was secretly shocked. His Mechanical Force activated the King mechanical suit stored in his body and prepared to teleport.
However, at this moment, a spiritual body covered in blue light suddenly appeared from the void and floated not far in front of Han Xiao. There was only an outline, and the details of its appearance were covered by the dazzling blue light. It was impossible to see its appearance.
What followed was a sigh filled with vicissitudes.
"It's finally here …"
“！！”
There's a living person?
Han Xiao was shocked. His eyes narrowed as he stared at this dark blue spiritual entity. He was shocked.
Just as he was about to ask about this person's identity, a terrifying mental attack suddenly broke through his mental barrier and rushed into his brain!
At this moment, an intense pain erupted from his brain, shaking the depths of his soul.
Han Xiao held his head and clenched his teeth. He felt as if his brain had been thrown into a blender.
He hurriedly opened the interface and saw that his health was decreasing at an unbelievable speed, and it was still accelerating.
The damage notifications popped up like a stream and entered Han Xiao's eyes. He immediately understood the situation.
The Beyonder's Vestige was not so easy to obtain. If he wanted to absorb it into his body, he would have to bear an extremely high burden. While obtaining the inheritance of others, he would also have to accept their 'debt'.
According to the different causes of death of the owner of the Beyonder's Vestige, the type of burden was also different. It was equivalent to the successor having to undergo a test and undergo a weakened version of the malignant mutation. It was the same type of crisis as the owner of the Beyonder's Vestige when he advanced.
The owner of this Beyonder's Vestige had died during his advancement due to the assimilation of the universe. These remaining soul consciousnesses had already half-merged with the universal consciousness, so it brought about a strong mental burden. The mental attack that contained the universal consciousness was more powerful than any Beyond Grade A mental attack Han Xiao had ever experienced. His health dropped rapidly.
At this moment, the spiritual body finally spoke again.
"Since the impact has already begun, there's no way to stop it. Either you succeed or you die."
Han Xiao used all his strength to activate his recovery ability. Enduring the pain, he forced himself to focus and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm just a product of the remaining soul consciousnesses. I'm no longer me. I only have incomplete memories and personalities left, as well as the obsession that supports my existence," the spiritual body said calmly.
"You're the predecessor of this Beyonder's Vestige?"
Han Xiao's eyes twitched.
He thought that the original owner had completely disappeared, but he did not expect there to still be a remnant consciousness. Could it be that the other Beyonder's Vestiges were the same?
At this moment, the spiritual body shook his head and said,
"I died when I was trying to break through to a higher level, but for some reason, I did not completely disappear. I actually continued to exist in this form. So this is called the Beyonder's Vestige …"
He did not have an interface like Han Xiao, so he did not know the reason. He could not explain what had happened to him, nor did he understand the secrets of the Beyonder's Vestige.
"What's your name?" Han Xiao could not help but ask. He was still curious about which Beyond Grade A this person was in history.
"Tyrsius," the spiritual body replied.
Han Xiao quickly thought about it and realized that there was no such person in history.
"Which era are you from? The exploration era or the Galaxy Calendar?"
"Beyond Grade A?" Tyrsius was confused. "What's that?"
Han Xiao was stunned for a moment before realizing something.
"Have you heard of the three Universal Civilizations? The Red Empire, the Radiant Federation, and the Arcane Church …"
Tyrsius shook his head. "I'm from Planet Cree, a universe wanderer. I've never heard of the three Universal Civilizations."
Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat.
If this part of his memory was not incomplete, then this guy was not a Beyond Grade A from the explored universe, but a guest from the unexplored universe. The reason why he appeared here was probably because the Beyonder's Vestige slowly floated over after his death.
However, at this moment, Tyrsius suddenly paused and said thoughtfully, "Wait, I seem to have some impression of the Westsandlin Civilization you're talking about. I think I've passed by such a Star System civilization before."
Hearing this, Han Xiao could not help but be shocked.
Westsandlin was the real name of the Radiant Federation. If what this guy said was true, then he might have guessed wrongly. This guy did not float over after his death, but an extremely ancient existence. He had already been to this area before the rise of the Radiant Federation.
Han Xiao's heart sank slightly. After receiving the Beyonder's Vestige, he had vaguely guessed that this might not be the early Iteration, and Tyrsius' background seemed to prove this guess.
At this time, the mental attack passed its peak and finally subsided. Han Xiao immediately felt much better. Although it was very dangerous, he could still withstand it with his tankiness.
Han Xiao relaxed a lot. Just as he was about to ask Tyrsius for more details, he suddenly realized that Tyrsius' figure had become blurry.
Tyrsius seemed to have expected this and took the initiative to explain calmly, "I was assimilated into the universe and assimilated into it.
"I died due to the assimilation of the universe. If you can withstand the burden, everything that I left behind will be yours. When you succeed, it will be the day that my remnant consciousness perishes."
"You …"
"I died a long time ago. This is also a relief for me. The stairs to a higher level often need the corpses of predecessors. Don't mind it."
Tyrsius was rather open-minded.
Hearing this, Han Xiao's expression was a little strange.
To him, Tyrsius was just a stranger who had suddenly popped out. They did not have any friendship, so he naturally would not have any emotions. He only felt that this encounter was a little unexpected. He still had many things to ask this guy in front of him.
Furthermore, he suspected that if he absorbed the Beyonder's Vestige, this remnant consciousness would really disappear.
After all, he had to be wary of others. Han Xiao did not completely believe what the other party said.
