I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

The next moment, the vacuum collapsed, and the huge pressure difference set off a magnificent storm. The bodies of the giant black dragon and the King of the Iron Cross were torn into pieces in the storm. After touching the glorious torrent, the fragments sublimated into snow-white ashes.

Behind the long river of light, a white dust belt formed and drifted towards the dark ocean like scattered ashes.

……

Rast sat on the rocky beach, looking at the suddenly rising bright sun in the distant sea.

It was a supernova explosion that was manifested by the mental image and finally reflected in reality. Such a magnificent scenery was still clearly visible even from thousands of meters away, as if the sunrise time was advanced by a full seven hours, and the night was as bright as day at this moment.

And a few seconds after that brilliance materialized.

From far away, the blast arrived a little later and reached the broken coastline paved with messy reefs.

It blew away the dark clouds, overturned the mountains and forests, shook the earth, and swept past.

The wild wind blew, making Rast's black hair rustle, but he was not moved at all.

He just raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, with a mysterious color flowing in his eyes.

[Tower Pilot: The second-tier ability of the Tower Sequence. Your eyes can see through fog and darkness, allowing you to never lose your way even in the darkest, lightless sea.]

This was the ability he unlocked when he broke through the second level in Frozen Water Town.

At this moment, Rast was using the inherent skills of this tower sequence, silently holding his breath, penetrating the darkness and fog of the Lightless Sea, and witnessing everything that happened on the battlefield.

He is not the type of person who likes to be startled or use overly exaggerated descriptions to embellish his words. The cycle of Deep Blue Harbor has long made Last accustomed to all the joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows in the world, allowing him to maintain a calm mentality when facing everything.

But at this moment, the "Battle of the Broken Coast" that Last witnessed with his own eyes was still beyond his previous cognition and could only be described as shocking.

In such an ignorant and muddled world, all basic sciences and applied levels have long remained in the steam age, the inheritance of knowledge and civilization has been almost completely interrupted, and is destined to only decline.

Isolated and helpless, Cecil relied solely on his own mental power to reason and calculate, spending hundreds of years analyzing the composition of stars and constructing a solar model within his own mental world...

In his mind, every physical law that makes up a star, every constituent factor, every element and the decay of the atomic nucleus have been completely mastered in every detail.

Only in this way could Cecil make a real simulated star exist in his mind for a long time, and even make the "supernova explosion" that he had never seen with his own eyes and only existed in the theoretical possibility of model deduction become a real reality.

From the original steam age to the atomic energy age... In Rast's previous life, this was a huge leap that spanned several generations. It was the result of hundreds of years of joint efforts by thousands of scholars and billions of human beings in the entire civilization.

But at this moment, Cecil completed the changes of the times with his own strength.

The truth contained in this, created by Cecil alone, far exceeds the basic knowledge leap of the current era... This is far more shocking and incredible than how many legends Cecil killed in this battle, so incredible that even Last could hardly believe his eyes.

But the fact is right before his eyes, whether he believes it or not.

Those who have not reached the top will never be able to imagine the scenery at the top.

Of course, most scientific research and inventions are constrained by the current era and environment. For example, because there are no shallow copper mines in Latin America, even though the Mayan civilization developed other derivative disciplines and civilization fields to the utmost, it was unable to move out of the Stone Age and enter the Bronze and Iron Ages until its demise.

But in the long river of history, there will always be some amazing exceptions. They break through the constraints and shackles of the current era and environment, and become pioneers of human civilization and turning points in history.

This was a feat that allowed a mere human to reach the divine realm... and it was a unique variable nurtured over a vast period of time, worthy of being described as a "miracle."

And it is precisely these tiny "variables", the accumulation of one insignificant "miracle" after another, that eventually made a mountain out of a molehill... that allowed humans to rise in the Age of Gods, which should not have dominated, in a way that violated the laws of development of things, ending the domination of mythical creatures and becoming the new masters of this land.

Such brilliance is timeless and will still be engraved in the long river of history and shine brightly even thousands of years later.

Rast closed his eyes slightly, feeling the sea breeze blowing on his face.

No wonder when he described the various aspects of the future world, Cecil never questioned the authenticity of what he described, and even had no doubts. Instead, he believed it directly... because that was the future scenery he had depicted over and over again in his mental world over the long years, based on the scientific principles and rules he had deduced.

The gratified smile that Cecil showed at that time was not simply a longing for the future world described by Last, but a smile when he knew that his efforts had not been in vain after his research and deduction were confirmed by the time traveler.

No wonder Cecil would choose his heir in advance and entrust everything to Grey.

Because what was transmitted in that fire was not only the power of Night Blade's "Library of Fools", but also the physical laws and basic scientific conclusions deduced by Cecil using his mental power throughout his long life - those were the basic scientific research results that were enough to enable human civilization to complete the leap from the "Steam Age" to the "Atomic Energy Age".

He knew that in the current turbulent and chaotic Sixth Epoch, a world of disasters where people could not even guarantee their basic safety, there was no soil for those epoch-making scientific research results to be effective... It was like if you couldn't even get enough food to eat, then even the most advanced physicists would have no place to use their skills.

Therefore, Cecil chose to entrust everything he had researched throughout his life... to Grey, and to future generations.

Then, we will clear the obstacles for future generations and provide them with a fertile soil for the epoch-making basic sciences to germinate, a truly clear sky.

The memories from the past gradually surfaced, and then at this moment they all came together, allowing Last to finally understand the true meaning of the words Cecil left behind when he said goodbye to him -

"Use your body to pave the way for those who come after you"

It is not just about using individual bravery to provide protection for humanity, kill powerful forbidden creatures, and invading legendary warriors.

No matter how powerful an individual is, no matter how magical and mysterious the Night Blade called "The Fool's Library" is, it can only act on a single individual and cannot bring permanent changes to human civilization as a whole.

No matter how glorious and powerful a civilization may be, if this powerful individual falls, the entire civilization will inevitably fall with it...

Just like those mythological races that once flourished in the Age of Gods, they were once high and mighty, living above the clouds. But when the mystery receded and the gods that once protected them could not even protect themselves, it only took a moment for these mythological races to fall into dust.

However, Cecil is fundamentally different from those ethnic leaders who rely solely on personal bravery to protect their fellow tribesmen.

What he left behind for future generations is a treasure called "knowledge", which will never be exhausted no matter how much it is mined.

There is also an incomparably vast, infinitely lonely world... a world without constraints, shackles, and true freedom.

The wildly blowing wind was suddenly mixed with some pale smoke and dust. It was the ashes left after the Black Eclipse Dragon and the King of the Iron Cross were burned by the brilliant sun.

And Rast stretched out his hand slightly in the sea breeze, feeling the pale ashes dissipating at his fingertips without leaving any trace.

He suddenly remembered the afternoon many years ago when Shadow Servant said goodbye to him in the Paradise Royal City which still existed at that time.

"Captain, it's my honor to fight alongside you."

These were the last words Shadow Servant said to Rast. Not long after that, she was buried in the Paradise Palace, which has now turned to ashes. She died at the hands of Noah while protecting Gray.

And this situation and this scene are exactly like that time and that moment.

“It is also my honor to fight alongside you.”

"Leader Sissel."

Rast's words drifted in the raging wind and were not heard by anyone.

PS: There may be another update in the morning.

Chapter 170: You Are Not Qualified as the Future of Humanity (Two-in-One)

The lightless sea, the center of the brilliant sun.

In the distorted and accelerated time, I don’t know how much chaos I experienced.

The supernova explosion was so bright that it was beyond words, illuminating the entire sea and night sky like daylight, and could be seen clearly even from a great distance.

At this moment, it finally slowly dimmed.

All the matter that once made up the giant star was thrown outward at one-tenth the speed of light, along with the radiation shock wave from the explosion, forming a shell-like structure of expanding gas and dust in the surrounding sea.

This is a magnificent planetary nebula.

It can also be simply called a "supernova remnant."

However, in the center of the supernova remnant, everything should have been burned by the rushing light, leaving no living thing behind.

But suddenly, a layer of twisted ripples appeared.

It is obviously very faint, but it carries with it an extremely distant and vicissitudes of history.

Those were the ripples of history, making the listeners feel as if they had experienced tens of thousands of years of evolution and the changes of countless epochs and eras in an instant.

Then, in the ripples of history, an illusory green figure quietly appeared.

That was Noah's figure, which looked infinitely illusory, with all kinds of cracks all over the body, and was on the verge of flickering.

But he is still alive.

"I have to say, you've exceeded my expectations once again, Cecil."

"This is the first time I've witnessed such might since the battle when the thief who stole the fire betrayed the gravekeepers."

"You called this skill 'Supernova Explosion'... I don't know the exact mechanism, but the power just now was enough to rival a true divine descent."

"Let alone an ordinary forbidden creature, even a god in his prime would have suffered considerable trauma if he had faced that majesty without dodging."

"To truly reach the divine realm with a legendary body... Even among all the previous shore guardians, only you and the First Generation have ever achieved such a thing."

Noah slowly examined his body, his old eyes still filled with a hint of uncertainty and hesitation.

Even the pitch-black ancient dragon whose bloodline had been purified and reverted to that of a pure-blooded dragon, and the legendary Iron Cross King... were annihilated into white smoke and dust before they could even offer the slightest resistance in the supernova explosion that destroyed everything.

What's more, it was Noah himself.

Relying on eternal life, Noah's accumulation in the legendary field is certainly much greater than that of other forbidden creatures.

But as a human legend of the long order of the "Abundance" sequence, how could he possibly be compared with a true ancient dragon and the Iron Cross King who had undergone a bloody transformation in terms of pure physical strength and resistance to the indiscriminate range damage of a supernova explosion?

In the supernova explosion just now, Noah really died once and tasted the taste of death.

"It's a pity—you overlooked one point after all."

He glanced indifferently at the snow-white ashes drifting away in the wind over the distant sea, and there was not a trace of emotion in his words.

"I am different from those who fought alone, and although they reached the legendary level, they are still just beasts at heart."

"Behind me is the entire gravekeeper community and the accumulation of eternity."

"No matter how powerful, no matter how magnificent, an attack skill that is enough to destroy everything in the universe—"

"It can only take effect once, and it definitely cannot last long."

Noah looked at his body, which was covered with cracks and seemed extremely illusory, and then slowly turned his gaze away.

He cast his gaze towards the depths of the lightless sea, the starting point of the scorching supernova explosion just now.

The black sea water is littered with metal fragments left behind when stars disintegrate and spew out heavy elements. These metal fragments are still stained with the residual heat of radiation and exhibit a silver-blue fluorescence.

These firefly-blue fragments were floating all over the surrounding sea, and dots of fluorescent light flickered on the sea surface, silhouetted against the dim background.

The sky as the curtain is pure black, but there seems to be a flowing Milky Way rippling in the sea. This scene is like the Milky Way hanging upside down, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Cecil stood at the end of this brilliant galaxy, in waist-deep water. His body was so old that it was almost weathered. Only by using his legendary spiritual power could he sense the only remaining faint breath of life from that old body, which was full of signs of decay, proving that he was not completely dead yet.

This is the inevitable result of overloading the "Life Rings" and causing a "supernova explosion."

A supernova explosion is the final song at the end of a star's life cycle, and the price Cessel paid for launching it was that his own life, which was originally very long, was also accelerated to the moment of death.

"You must feel sorry for me, Cecil."

Noah looked at the old man at the end of the Milky Way who seemed to be dead but still refused to fall, and expressed his sincere emotion.

"Even if you give up everything and explode at all costs like you did, you can still only kill me once."

He gently stroked the tombstone pattern woven with golden thread on his pure white robe. "Even if I die, I can still use the power of the tombstone to return from the long river of history once again."

Just like every leader of the Shore Guardians has the last trump card, the "Library of Fools".

Although the gravekeepers had their fire stolen by the shore keepers, how could they have only the "Library of Fools" as their only heritage, considering their accumulation from the Age of Gods to the present?

"tombstone".

Or its full name - "Eternal Night Stele".

This is the ultimate background of the Gravekeeper, which ranks higher than "The Library of Fools", and is also the true origin of the name "Gravekeeper".

As long as you engrave the mark of your life origin on the tombstone, even if you are dead in reality, you can still return from the long river of history with the mark of your life origin left on the tombstone.

Of course, such a resurrection from the dead must come at a great price, either a long sleep or a long period of recuperation, before one can completely recover to a complete state.

But even so, the existence of the "tombstone" means that every legendary tomb keeper has almost unlimited opportunities for trial and error.

This is the so-called opportunity of "eternal immortality" that Noah mentioned when he recruited Rast.

Even if you die, you can still return from the long river of history... Such a conceptual ability is not far from true "eternity".

This is also the greatest confidence that Noah dares to come to the world.

While cutting off half of his mental power to create a legendary incarnation, he was still able to barely maintain his legendary status even though his original body had been killed once and returned from history with the help of the Eternal Night Stele, and was weakened again.

If he didn't have such a trump card, how could he dare to plan a hunt against the owner of the Fool's Library alone without the support of his companions.

boom--

The emerald green light ran wild.

The huge but somewhat illusory ancient tree appeared again, and then countless green lights turned into branches and vines, sweeping mercilessly towards the direction where Cecil was standing.

Although Noah experienced a return to rebirth with the help of the tombstone, his power also declined significantly. It took a long time of recuperation and sleep to restore to his peak state.

But Cecil's physical condition at the moment was worse than his. His body was so old that it had reached the end of its lifespan that it was difficult for him to even stand.
