“I couldn’t witness that scene myself, but I hoped you would be that person.
I hoped you would have such an encounter,” he said.
“After escaping God’s Throne with you, A Yao and I controlled some of its core aspects.
We even made breakthroughs in the genetic level of social talent.
Living in this chaotic bottom layer, we remained undetected for quite a while.
That is one of my ultimate achievements.”
“In the years I raised you, as life’s countdown went on, A Yao and I took turns exploring the mine world.
This world is vast, with many creatures, and our goal was clear: to find the legacy of the Beast God, to let you take fewer detours in the future.”
“These stele were carved in the year you turned seven, shortly after you learned this nearly lost language.
When I wrote these words, I didn’t know where I’d go next.
I hoped the footprints I left behind would lead to a day when we’d meet again.”
“But at least now I can tell you with certainty that you’ve come to the right place.
This is where Sea God’s legacy resides, leading to the heart of the Sea God.
There’s a guardian whose weapon represents the Sea God’s legacy.”
“Unfortunately, my abilities allowed me to pass through the magma easily, but I was no match for that guardian.
Even if I surpassed it in talent, I couldn’t wield that weapon.
But you can.”
“You now possess the Heart of Eden.
You are human, but more precisely, you are an apocalyptic human.
Inside you, there’s a red crystal.
Although all your health checks from childhood to adulthood couldn’t detect any anomalies, that heart has always given any creature the feeling that you are one of their own.
The same goes for machines.”
Tang Xian suddenly realized, this was why beings like Qing Jiuyu, Bai Mansheng, Jin Lu, and others had recognized him as one of their own from the beginning.
“The Heart of Eden is, in fact, the most advanced technology of the Eden Tribe, so advanced that it even surpasses the existence known as the Orderer, which is also evolving.”
“Once the Heart of Eden connects to your neural hub, you’ll have data analysis in your sea of consciousness, and you’ll see a vast database about all creatures, the data appearing like cards in your mind.”
So the card-like things I saw at first were just a program UI?
Tang Xian gradually understood the mystery of his abilities.
“The ability the Orderer most desires is to inflict lethal damage and resistance on creatures, which it cannot achieve.
But you have it, and you can even acquire the resistance of other creatures faster than the Eden Tribe.
However, this program also has many flaws; you can’t obtain the power to see through souls, that is, the true Eyes of Eden.
It’s not that you can’t, but you need to enter a deeper level of fusion.”
The true Eyes of Eden?
Tang Xian suddenly thought of the stele on the eighth level of Fortress 39, which mentioned that the demonic children of Eden had the ability to see through everything.
Was this what it referred to?
As the puzzle slowly unraveled, the final part of this stele made Tang Xian both cry and laugh:
“To obtain all the power of Eden and enter a deeper level of fusion, the specific method can only be figured out by you, the possessor.
There’s also an insignificant little flaw—”
“The Eden Tribe can obtain the combat skills of other creatures through battle.
The Heart of Eden can too, but only by chance.
But I believe that my son will be very fortunate, so you probably don’t need to worry too much about this.”
Tang Xian was speechless.
He almost made the “black guy question mark” face: When did I ever know I was lucky?
You’re telling me not to worry too much about such a big issue?
You call this an insignificant little flaw?
What a trap!
