I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

"It's only been less than two hundred years. Even if there's been a technological explosion, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

Dean Snow Ferret rolled his eyes at Rust and patted his shoulder with his big, furry tail. "It's only in the near future. It still maintains the posture of a technological city and country."

"It's just that in most technological areas, they have already surpassed the mechanics of today—"

"For example, in that echo of history, biotechnology is highly advanced. Mechanical organ modification, transplantation, and mecha armaments are all but forgotten. Even at the cutting edge, there's technology that creates a mechanical body, imbues it with human consciousness, and allows the machine to live as a living being."

"And the entertainment technology in that night world is also highly advanced, for example..."

Dean Yin's voice paused slightly.

"Like what?"

"For example, those virtual reality games that only exist in online game novels, which can completely simulate real human senses, and fully immersive VR games."

Dean Yin jumped down from Last's shoulder, stood on the windowsill, and looked at Last seriously.

"Oh, there's one more thing... Because it needs to be kept confidential, it's not recorded in the file. I can only repeat it verbally."

"A night traveler discovered the figure of a historical figure in a virtual reality VR game that is popular across the continent. The game is based on historical figures."

"Someone's figure?"

"Um……"

Dean Yin's tone became subtle:

"The orphan of Deep Blue Harbor, the shore guardian from two hundred years ago, the spiritual mentor and pillar of the legendary leader Grey."

"A hero who single-handedly reversed the outcome of the Battle of the Broken Coast and saved the Sixth Epoch Civilization..."

“The one forgotten by time,” the “unfaithful tyrant of the underworld,” the “lonely king who turned his back on all living beings”—”

"Last."

Chapter 192: Canaan's Clues, Artificial Angel Project (Two in One)

The night was long. Last looked at Dean Yin on the windowsill. Dean Yin just looked at Last with clear innocence in his eyes.

The man and the beast stared at each other, neither of them spoke.

After a long silence, it was Rast who coughed lightly, breaking the strange atmosphere.

"This information shouldn't have been leaked yet, right?"

"Of course, your origins have long been classified as the highest level of confidential information in the Arcana Tower. The only people in this world who know about your past are me, Little Tina, the old principal, and perhaps a few people in the royal family..."

"Those night travelers of Lionheart Court are unaware of the earth-shattering events you've perpetrated in Deep Blue Harbor, Frozen Water Town, Paradise, the Underworld, and the Battle of the Broken Coast."

Dean Yin blinked his ruby-red eyes. "So, those Night Travelers from the strategy team were simply following the standard process for opening a new night world, submitting all the information from that popular VR game as if it were just normal development intelligence."

"As for the name Rast... it's perfectly normal for an ancient figure's name to appear in the historical echoes of the Night World and be the same as someone in the present world. Without knowing your secrets, they won't make too many associations."

"Don't worry. After compiling this information into the Arcane Tower's database, I've sealed it for safekeeping. No one will be able to discover your little secrets."

It stretched out its big, furry, snow-white tail and wrapped it around Rust's shoulders affectionately, as if arm in arm. "But, little Rust."

"You are not an ordinary boy."

Although Dean Yin had already noticed the various abnormalities in Last through live broadcast before.

For example, the little girl named "Grey" who was rescued by Last in Frozen Water Town and given a name by him, unexpectedly reappeared in the echoes of a new history ten years later, and even clearly remembered everything about Last and met him again.

You know, according to the past understanding of the night world by Star University, they only regarded the night world and the echoes of history as independent reflections of the past, which were real copies based on past history.

No matter what the Night Travelers did in the Echoes of History, once they cleared the Night World, the entire dungeon would be completely reset and cleared, not to mention any impact on the past history that had actually happened.

But Rast is different.

Not to mention the anomaly that had him trapped in Deep Blue Harbor from the very beginning and almost mistaken for a dungeon NPC by Hiltina... and his subsequent actions in other historical remnants could even directly affect the future course of historical development and bring about permanent changes to it.

Dean Yin was puzzled by this - other night travelers entered the night world just to explore the dungeon as if they were playing a death game, but Last seemed to have truly traveled through time and space to personally participate in everything in the past.

However, Dean Yin did not dwell on it too much.

Since I can't think of it, then just don't think about it. I'm just an ordinary ferret. I shouldn't do those brain-consuming jobs. That's work for bipeds.

Anyway, he had already made sufficient initial investments in Last when he was at his weakest... The more amazing his achievements were, the more delicious this meal ticket in his hand would be. It would bring him only benefits and no harm.

"Although I had suspected it before, I never thought that Gray would actually go this far."

There was also a hint of emotion in Last's words.

Before his eyes, every moment he spent with Gray seemed to reappear.

In Frozen Water Town, there was a little girl who sneaked into his room late at night, trying to steal his and Hiltina's shore guardian badges, and exchange them for the opportunity to join the shore guardians and seek asylum. She was as timid as a baby animal.

In the watchtower of the headquarters of the Shore Watchers Organization, the girl who had just passed the newcomer assessment could only walk alone on the streets dyed red by the sunset, as lonely as the little match girl... until she saw her own figure, the light in her light green eyes appeared again.

On the cliff of Paradise Royal City, the girl who knew that she had betrayed others ran to the top of the cliff regardless of everything in the rain, questioned herself painfully and angrily why she had betrayed the shore guards, and knelt in the mud and cried helplessly.

Three years later, they met again in the Holy Scripture. He launched hundreds of time rewinds in a row to stop his own progress in becoming a god. After realizing that everything was powerless, he even resolutely launched a great time rewind, returning the world to the starting point of everything.

After the Battle of Broken Shore, the new shorekeeper, his gray hair disheveled by the sea breeze, inherited his and Leader Sissel's mission and said goodbye to him with a sad look on his face on the rocky beach...

And now, after nearly two hundred years.

The little girl who used to be crybaby and fragile, who loved to act coquettishly and stick to herself... has she finally grown into a legendary strong man like Cecil, a true leader who can lead an entire civilization forward?

Moreover, he single-handedly restored the devastated and ruined Sixth Epoch Civilization after the Battle of the Broken Coast to new life in less than two hundred years, ushering in an unprecedentedly prosperous science fiction era.

"But if you think about it carefully, there's nothing strange about this."

Luster smiled and said, "Gray wields the great power called 'Destiny'."

"If she can, to a certain extent, travel back in time and even observe the future, and become the leader of a civilization, then it would also mean that this civilization possesses an unimaginable ability to make mistakes..."

"It can directly avoid the detours that other civilizations inevitably encounter in their development, and will never make mistakes in all major decisions that determine the fate of civilization."

"It is reasonable to assume that it will rapidly develop to a level of technology that surpasses the current world."

"Yeah, to be honest, the Night World intel the strategy team sent back mentioned that VR games that use neural signals to completely simulate real senses and touch, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in virtual reality, are something I'd really like to try."

Dean Yin shook his big furry tail, and his ruby-like eyes revealed a look of longing.

As a complete homebody, Dean Yin's greatest joy in life is to lie down and drink happy water while playing various electronic games.

It is conceivable that for a homebody, VR games that allow virtual reality and complete stealth are extremely attractive.

It's like a paradise where you can have whatever you want and all your fantasies and dreams can come true.

Wouldn't I have countless dried fish by then? I could even set up Rust and Hiltina as my two pet scoopers in the game, one to fan and the other to comb...

Just thinking about it makes me feel that the picture is so beautiful, it is simply the peak of Diao’s life.

Dean Yin shook his head, withdrawing his mind from the daydream that had made him so happy that he was bubbling with joy. He looked back at Last in front of him and said, "In short, you will be a celebrity in the future night world."

"In that night world, there exists a classic, 'super popular love-building war epic virtual reality full-dive game' based on real historical events."

"And you are that incredibly popular character in this historically inspired virtual reality game, right up there with Cecil, the Lionheart of the Sun—Last, the "one forgotten by time," the "lonely king who turned his back on everyone."

"Dean Yin, are you serious about slowing down and emphasizing the two shameful and immature names I'm calling you?"

"No way!" Dean Yin blinked cutely. "It's mainly because your title, Little Last, is so cool. If a player saw such a cool title, I'd at least turn into a krypton gold sow and spend dozens of orders."

"Back to business."

Dean Yin coughed lightly. "I know that since you've asked me to gather this information, it means you've already begun preparing to enter the night world. So, I suggest you be prepared to conceal your identity once you enter the Reverberations of History. Otherwise, if you walk down the street with this face, you'll be mistaken for some highly realistic cosplayer, with people swarming around you like crazy collecting stamps."

"Of course, if necessary, you can also directly reveal your identity and ask for help. After all, your name is still very famous...but you may still need to find a way to prove your identity."

"in addition."

Dean Yin paused for a moment and said, "If you plan to cling to Gray's thighs right after entering the dungeon, I'm afraid it won't work."

"why?"

Last couldn't help but glance at Dean Yin.

Frankly speaking, this was indeed the first thought that came to Last's mind.

After all, according to Dean Yin, Grey has already become the leader of that technological civilization and had broken through the legend a hundred years ago.

If possible, then as long as he could find a way to find Grey and recognize her in the remnants of history, he could naturally get the help of the entire human civilization society - and then whether he wanted to complete the tasks issued by the Night World or explore the clues of Canaan and Xiao Ai, it would undoubtedly be much easier.

As for the little girl who was given a name by him in the past and led her forward like a guide, she has now become a legendary powerful man. The status between the two of them has been swapped in an instant...Last doesn't care about this unequal contrast in their relationship.

He is a person who puts efficiency above all else. As long as he can achieve the goal of the plan, his own dignity, laws, and even worldly morality are all things that Last can completely abandon.

Not to mention that Last didn't think that Grey's personality would really change after two hundred years... Even if we take a step back and say that Grey's feelings for him really did deteriorate over a long period of time, and she wanted to force herself on him and play yandere game, Last didn't really care.

If not, then during the three hundred years of Deep Blue Harbor's cycle, Rast would not have become the top gigolo in the nightclub just to please himself.

"According to the latest intelligence reported by the Night Travelers of Lionheart Court, the legendary leader of that world, Gray, achieved legendary status shortly after the Battle of the Broken Coast a hundred years ago."

"And about ten years before the Night World's time node, Gray achieved a further breakthrough and transformation... surpassing her original legendary rank and ascending to a higher level."

Dean Yin blinked his eyes. "That is, the eighth level, which is above the seventh level, which symbolizes the legendary rank."

"Or rather, the so-called—"

""Angel"."

Angel?

Rast's mind moved slightly.

Among the secrets he knew in the past, the legendary realm and the seventh level were already the limit.

Although he had also speculated, such as the nameless fool who created the "Fool's Library" in the Age of Gods, and the "Fire Thief" who rebelled against the Gravekeepers and founded the Shore Keepers, and the first generation of Shore Keepers... perhaps they had all surpassed the legendary realm and reached a higher level.

But that was just speculation after all. This was the first time that Last heard a clear clue that someone had actually reached the eighth level.

Gray, has she actually come to this point?

"If the legendary realm is the limit of humanity, the essence of life begins to transform from human to non-human."

"Then the eighth level, also known as angels, are true mythical creatures who have set foot in the divine realm."

"Those so-called evil gods trapped on the threshold of Blazing Heaven...most of them are also at the eighth level, but they have gone deeper and further, becoming what are known as 'subordinate gods' and 'false gods'."

"However, for a new civilization in the Sixth Epoch, having their leader break through the Eighth Stage and become an Angel is not necessarily a good thing."

Dean Yin's tone became more serious: "Because not long after becoming an angel, Gray suddenly disappeared."

"Before she disappeared, she only left behind two things for the Sixth Epoch civilization. One of them was the virtual reality game based on the history of the Sixth Epoch."

"That's why this game is so popular, because many players believe that it contains clues left by leader Grey, and the secret of her disappearance and whereabouts."

"And the second is a mechanical creation project called 'Artificial Angel'."

Dean Silver looked into Rast's eyes:

"There are night travelers investigating the 'Artificial Angel' mechanical creation project..."

"We've discovered some fragments of information related to Canaan."

Chapter 193 Night World, Start! (Two in One)

"Artificial Angel Project?"

Rast looked at the ferret in front of him and repeated the somewhat unfamiliar term.

"It sounds like they intend to use human technology to reach the eighth level of mythology, above Legend, and become a true 'Angel'?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Dean Yin flicked his tail and said, "You know."

"Those ancient civilizations that vanished in the old era were all based on humans, but due to the different emphases of their technology trees, civilizations in different eras often took completely different paths."

"And those former civilizations that survived the Bronze and Silver Ages of germination and growth, and entered their Golden Age of peak prosperity, would inevitably, through various means, perceive the end of that era, the final calamity brought about by the laws of the plane, or, in other words, the law of nature."

It rolled up a small dried fish from the secondary dimension and put it into its mouth: "Those former civilizations naturally wouldn't all choose to sit and wait for death—"

"Although civilization has already crumbled before the end of some eras, order has collapsed and fallen into chaos..."

"But there are also some past eras where humans choose to resist to the bitter end, devoting all their civilizational strength to fight against the inevitable end of the era."

"I know that."

Luster nodded.

After hearing about the origins of the Gravekeepers and Shorekeepers from Noah, he made a special trip to the Mysterious Tower to inquire about information about the previous five eras.
