CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 256: THE CHOSEN ONE

Kana was somewhat astonished.

Because in front of him, besides that one complete fragment of the Stone of Creation,

there were also two ordinary shards.

This was considered a colossal fortune for both Kana and the Night Watchers.

It was worth everything in the entire laboratory.

Additionally, on a shelf beside, there were several Recording Stones placed.

These were products of the Alchemy Empire; Kana once obtained one from the tomb of a Master Alchemist.

They contained all sorts of information and knowledge, which could be extracted through Magic Power.

It seemed that the information and knowledge stored within must be the valuable research data that Kana’s grandfather accumulated along his journey.

"Are you satisfied with what I’ve given you?"

Suddenly, the voice of the Blood Race King sounded beside him.

Kana turned his head.

He saw another spherical alchemy device for recording sounds, similar to those just seen in the laboratory, floating nearby.

This device looked newer, as if it had just been unsealed.

"Can you interact with me?"

Kana asked.

"Of course, it seems you also have your own understanding of alchemy.

Good, very good indeed."

Said the alchemy device for recording sounds.

"However, this device is not my achievement; I merely excavated and restored it from the relics of my ancestors.

It’s quite useful, isn’t it? By replicating some memories and knowledge, it can offer a certain degree of autonomy for interaction."

This spherical alchemy device was akin to an intelligent machine.

"But its answers are limited."

Kana nodded slightly.

Then, the two of them suddenly became silent.

The sphere spoke, "Speak, this sphere can only talk and listen; if you just nod, I can’t see it."

Kana suddenly realized.

"So, is this the legacy you’ve left me? Although I don’t understand what you’ve done, I still have to thank you."

The laboratory, combined with the shards and fragments, was indeed an enormous inheritance, an unexpected gain for Kana.

"The outside laboratory, and these materials, are indeed the legacy I left behind.

However, these fragments of the Stone of Creation, I placed them in here just before I died.

They are specifically for you, Kana."

So that’s how it is.

But why?

Kana couldn’t quite comprehend it all at once.

He believed his grandfather certainly foresaw the usage of the Stone of Creation and the various investigative techniques after his passing.

Leaving some unused stones for the descendants was not a problem.

Why did he deliberately place them inside at the end, specifically for Kana?

In other words, if he hadn’t intended to leave them for Kana, those stones wouldn’t have been placed inside.

"Why?" Kana asked.

"When you were born, I was in slumber. When I awoke, I heard that you had made the same choice as my ineffectual son."

"You mean Uncle Vainsha?"

"Yes, he couldn’t grasp my life’s ambition, couldn’t agree with our methods, and he couldn’t think of solutions or understand how to respond.

Like a coward, he shrank back into his domain without any useful actions.

But you are different, Kana.

You are excellent, even though I had never seen you before, you founded the Night Watchers, and you made a wish upon the Stone of Creation with precision."

These words surprised Kana, making him raise an eyebrow involuntarily.

"How did you find out?"

"Hahaha, you underestimate your grandfather. From the beginning, there was a fragment of the Stone of Creation within my body, and through my research on human bodies, I discovered this fragment.

It was this discovery that set me on this path. My understanding of the fragments is beyond your imagination.

Are you aware that the wish you made was overly precise?"

The sphere asked.

Kana nodded, then spoke up, "I am."

"It’s good that you know. It seems you also have your own research. It doesn’t matter where you learned from, whether from me or elsewhere.

To make such a precise wish, you must have connected with the consciousness of the world, right?"

"Yes."

Just as Kana had speculated before.

As the first person to understand the fragments so deeply, it was impossible for his grandfather not to be aware of the world’s consciousness.

To make a precise wish, it was inevitable.

"The world is on the brink of a crisis, the apocalypse is imminent, and the world has sensed the danger and begun to save itself.

All the Stones of Creation began to emerge; do you think my research, my discoveries, everything I have is purely from my own effort?

No, it’s the result of the world choosing me, enabling me to easily discover all that is important, find the knowledge I seek within."

The Blood Race King said things that Kana hadn’t even learned in the game.

"In my youth, of course, I didn’t notice, but later I found some clues.

To self-rescue, a large amount of the Stone of Creation must erupt, but there are only six in total, even shattered into fragments, the number is limited.

Finding the stones is so difficult, it relies solely on luck, which is an obstacle to the world’s self-rescue behavior.

My goal was to use the hidden stones and let each one’s effect reach its utmost potential."

With that, Kana understood.

Half of the information the Blood Race King disclosed was already known to Kana.

Because this was the outcome of the late-stage storyline.

He just hadn’t realized it was all intentional.

Creating the existence of the Blood Race was just a side task for his grandfather after being chosen, to achieve his own goal.

"My mission is complete, and my life’s ambition has also been realized.

It’s your turn next. You call yourself a Prophet, having seen the bleak future and taking action.

I don’t know if this idea is yours or the result of the world’s guidance, but you are already on this path.

The world is watching you, obtain the stones, and your wish will be more fulfilled.

The premise is that you remain true to yourself, and true to this world.

Remember this sentence.

This is the last gift I leave you."

"Bang!"

The alchemy sphere recording voice and certain memories hit the ground.

The messages were all delivered.

But unlike what his grandfather thought, Kana had long been prepared mentally.

All that was said, he had already known.

But regardless, he still had to thank him.

Looking at the legacy before him.

Here lay a whole fragment and two shards, but his Investigation Stone hadn’t flashed.

Evidently, the container storing them had a shielding effect.

Thinking about it, it made sense, for the Investigation Stone itself was developed by his grandfather; creating a container that could shield it was only normal.

Carefully putting away the legacy before him, Kana returned to the laboratory.

It was time to start receiving this entire inheritance.
