「 Bygone Era Divinity, Dragon of Destruction, Extinction 」
「 Remember well, this is the name of humanity's most powerful War Soul Artifact … 」
The black dragon roared in anger. The gigantic black dragon's body gave off hundreds of thousands of echoes that reverberated in all directions.
The skeleton girl flew up and asked in a low voice: "Leng Qianchen, what did you do?"
"I only said the activation key. His entire body is currently undergoing molecular and atomic evolution, reconstructing itself, that's why we're hearing such a concentrated sound — — - but it'll be over very soon" Leng Qianchen replied.
The skeleton girl glanced at the black dragon.
Only to see that the black dragon's body had already collapsed into a mass of boiling fog that coiled around the top of the Tie Wei Mountain.
The dark mist was undergoing an incomparably drastic change, and emitted a musical sound of undulating highs and lows.
The 36 Divine Armaments hovered in the air, silently observing this.
「 What do we do now? 」 one of the Divine Armaments asked.
「 Use a sorcery-type attack — — quickly turn it into our Huang Quan Divine Armament, otherwise the Merit Heavenly Tome will start devouring it! 」 the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook replied.
The page of the Heavenly Tome hovered in the sky, slowly resonating with the world of Huang Quan.
It was participating in the Huang Quan Divine Armament's battle for supremacy!
"Attack!"
「 Quickly attack that black fog, turn it into a Huang Quan Divine Armament! 」
The Divine Armaments all began to move.
…
As soon as Gu Qing Shan heard that name, he fell into a daze.
He only saw the highest-ranking notification:
[Attention!]
[Your body is currently being deconstructed and reassembled to adapt to the war of the Samsara world]
[Your body's memory system has been activated]
[The other half of your Secret Key is awakening, you will see him again — —]
Everything around him faded away.
A world of the past had appeared.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing in the middle of a grand city made of steel.
A bald old man stood on the other side of the street, silently watching him.
The strongest Combatant of the Bygone Era!
He had once again appeared in this world.
"Long time no see, I didn't think I'd see you here" Gu Qing Shan said.
The bald old man smiled and said: "I didn't think you'd actually be able to reach this point. It seems the other half of the Secret Key I left behind was useful — — - follow me"
The two of them walked down the street one after the other.
"Where are you taking me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but wait a moment. I need to fulfill one of my obsessions first," the bald old man said.
Gu Qing Shan didn't know what to say.
The old man led Gu Qing Shan through the streets and alleys, finally arriving at the depths of a narrow alley.
"This is the place," the old man said.
Gu Qing Shan looked in that direction, only to see a shop in front of him. He could already smell the fragrance coming from inside from afar, the walls of the shop were already blackened from the soot, even the chairs and benches weren't clean, but there was a long queue outside the shop.
No one made a fuss. People seemed to be used to this kind of scene.
The old man quickened his pace until he reached the end of the line, then turned around and said: "We'll line up here — — there are some things that we can discuss while we line up"
Gu Qing Shan followed behind him.
"This seems to be a noodle shop" he said.
"That's right, this shop's beef noodles and mixed paste noodles were the most perfect experience of the Bygone Era, as well as the final obsession of this strand of consciousness of mine. I insisted on manifesting it in this memory because I wanted to try it again" the bald old man said.
"You can recreate even the smell, smell, and touch?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course, our technology is quite decent, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to create a super War Soul Artifact" the bald old man replied.
"Is that so? Then I'd like to see it for myself "Gu Qing Shan said.
The strongest Combatant of the Bygone Era actually managed to implant such a noodle shop's data into the evolution of a super War Soul Artifact.
But Gu Qing Shan wasn't surprised at all.
An entity like the bald old man not only created a super War Soul Artifact, but also found a top-level inheritance like the Living Being Sacrificial Dance within the void.
For such a person, even if there were billions of worlds in front of him, it still wouldn't compare to a single obsession of his.
The line slowly moved forward.
Gu Qing Shan also moved forward with the bald old man.
"Speaking of eating, I've actually learned quite a bit" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Of course, ever since I taught you the Sacrificial Dance, I've occasionally collected information from the outside world, so I've seen your cooking experiences" the bald old man replied.
"So, if I hadn't chosen to kill Magic Dragon, you wouldn't have appeared?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, at the time, I had already noticed that there was something wrong with Magic Dragon, so I imprisoned him in the Abyssal Jail. Nominally, it was to watch over the Abyssal Lin — — - but in the end, it was also to imprison Magic Dragon" the bald old man replied.
"No wonder Magic Dragon held a grudge against you" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"All in all, our Bygone Era was heading towards extinction. I originally wanted to destroy Magic Dragon, but in the end, he was the greatest creation of our civilization, so I decided to keep him alive, as well as my inheritance"
The bald old man continued: "If someone was truly willing to kill Magic Dragon and suffer the eternal curse, then I will pass on my only hope"
"You mean the Sacrificial Dance?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Not just that"
"What else?"
"Only knowing the true name won't allow it to evolve completely, you still need my permission"
"No wonder you mentioned 'half a key' just now, does Magic Dragon know about this?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"No one knows" the old man displayed a sly smile.
— — -only with a true name and the bald old man's personal approval would this super-sized War Soul Artifact be able to evolve.
Countless years ago, the old man had already made meticulous preparations for this.
"It can't be helped, I would rather die than hand over this Soul Artifact, Magic Dragon, to any enemy of the void" the old man replied.
"The … enemy of the Bygone Era humans seemed to be the Soul Shrieker" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"No, it was only one of them" the old man replied.
"Who else?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The bald old man calmly replied: "Our era has gone through many calamities, even the erosion of various [Orders], as well as the ambushes of nameless monsters from the void … in short, we have never had the chance to rest and recuperate, always fighting …"
The two of them went silent.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan finally asked: "You … never had any time to rest?"
"Indeed, the void is filled with calamities, we never know where the danger comes from, never able to find peace, always being hunted by something" the bald old man replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He then recalled how the Bygone Era humans used the Grand Wei Mountain as a city wall in order to protect their civilization.
But in the end …
"— — there has to be a reason" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"We are the descendants of the Human Realm, having inherited the knowledge of the Human Realm … now that I think about it, those calamities wanted to completely destroy us to prevent humanity's inheritance from being passed on" the bald old man replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
This method was a bit similar to the Emperor Of Heaven's.
The Emperor Of Heaven didn't do anything himself, instead allowing everything to be carried out according to his plan.
Never failed.
The bald old man smiled sorrowfully and continued:
"We have realized that we cannot consider ourselves as descendants of the Samsara, as that would be extremely dangerous … but since we are humans, our knowledge and techniques must be passed down to our descendants, because if we don't pass it down, our civilization would cease to exist, our descendants would lose the power to protect themselves and would only be able to be trampled upon by others in the void"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Fortunately, all of you managed to reach the Reality Gate at the center of the Eternal Abyss and escape from this void"
"We didn't, we're all dead" the bald old man answered without hesitation.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
The bald old man continued: "According to our observations, that Reality Gate was filled with fatal danger. We were all dead, leaving only this sliver of my consciousness — — - and finally, the descendants of the Human Realm were all plotted to death"
His voice suddenly became more forceful:
"— — -but we haven't lost, at least you've inherited our human race's knowledge — – the Magic Dragon is the greatest achievement of our civilization; while my Sacrificial Dance is the ultimate power that our human race obtained from exploring the void"
"Senior, I roughly know who your enemy is" Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
"I also know — — but I also know that we weren't a match for him" the bald old man replied.
He turned around and patted Gu Qing Shan's shoulder.
"From start to finish, I didn't even dare to look for that person, because if I did, it would mean the end of this game"
"I thought about it day and night, because I knew that with such a powerful enemy, humanity wouldn't be able to fight against him. Humanity would surely be destroyed, it was only a matter of time"
"— — -creating the Dragon of Extinction of Calamity means that our death is near"
"But can we not resist?"
"No, I believe that humanity still has hope, even if it's only a faint sliver, we still need to create this super-sized War Soul Artifact — —"
"For the people of the future"
After saying so, the old man turned around and entered the noodle house.
Gu Qing Shan followed behind him.
The waiter came up and asked: "Please come in, what would you like to eat?"
"Beef noodles, a large bowl" the old man replied.
The waiter left.
The old man smiled and continued: "The Dragon of Extinction of Calamity can only be awakened within the Samsara, our generation wouldn't be able to see it, but you're already in the Era of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy — — -"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I will avenge you"
"What if you fail?" the old man asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I will pass everything down to the next generation, to continue the flame of humanity's fate, I hope that one day, someone will come and make this a great fire"
The old man didn't say anything else and simply patted his shoulder.
At this point, the noodle was served.
The old man took a pair of chopsticks and took a bite.
"This noodle is still as good as ever" he sighed emotionally.
All of a sudden, the world became blurry.
All the images slowly faded away.
A line of crimson text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[This piece of information and its host has been thoroughly erased]
[It has been converted into the other half of the Secret Key]
[Secret Key: True Name obtained]
[Secret Key: Authority already obtained]
[Secret Key: Complete]
[Bygone God, Dragon of Extinction of Calamity, absolute; you are the greatest achievement of the Bygone Era humanity's civilization]
[— — your evolution is about to begin!]
