Chapter 837 - The Last Witness (1/2)
Han Xiao immediately turned to look at Feidin, who had all his attention on the Yasre Civilization recording. He gripped his shoulders and shook him vigorously.
“Wha… what are you doing?” Feidin stared at the overjoyed Han Xiao with a puzzled look on his face.
“You, amazing!”
Han Xiao was ecstatic. In his eyes, it was as if Feidin was emitting holy light from all over his body.
There was a slim chance that hidden missions would reward [Bold Explorer] Ability Shards. Over the past few months, the players had discovered quite a number of hidden missions and shared them with him. However, he had never triggered this reward—the goddess of luck loathed him as usual.
With Feidin along with him, the goddess of luck basically deliberately lifted her dress to show Feidin the holy light.
Han Xiao could not help but sigh in his mind. Overflowing charm, exceptional luck, a wife who he could sleep with in his mind, and the goddess of luck willing to be his mistress. Feidin was probably the biggest winner in life throughout the Black Star Army.
Although Nero also had the Advanced Luck Glow…
He was not handsome enough!
“You’re still the most reliable.” Han Xiao patted Feidin’s shoulder heavily with satisfaction on his face.
Feidin’s face was filled with question marks.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with confusion, Han Xiao calmed himself down, coughed, and explained, “This civilization used its holy relic to build this kind of special amber. No one else other than us has visited this planet ever since. This means that this holy relic will be ours. I’m guessing that this is going to be another Universal Treasure.”
The others did not know that Han Xiao had come to this planet with a clear goal. They nodded and suspected nothing.
Han Xiao told the machines to search and found the database. Phillip copied all the data inside and finally deciphered the language of the Yasre Civilization.
Having updated the language packs of the translator, they returned to the black disc again and rewatched the recording. This time, they understood what it was about.
“I’m the leader of the Yasreans. Lucky visitors, when you see this recording, we might have already gone extinct. No matter who you are, please watch this recording till the end…”
The mission introduction on the interface had already explained the rough situation, so Han Xiao just filled in the details by watching it again.
The recording talked about the situation of the Yasre Civilization, which was within their expectations. At the end of the recording, the Yasrean hoped that the visitor could complete two things. One was to undo the effects of the Spacetime Amber, and the Yasreans shared their knowledge of the Spacetime Amber to make things easier. However, they had very limited knowledge about this extraterrestrial object that exceeded their understanding.
The second thing was for the visitor to preserve the information about the Yasre Civilization if the Yasreans were extinct so that the traces of their existence would remain.
The group of them had been traveling the universe for many years and were used to the end of civilizations long ago. This was what the universe was; new species were born, and old species went extinct every second. If they would easily be affected every time, they would have no time to do anything else.
However, every civilization was a miracle of life, so they would still respect the final wishes of a civilization when necessary.
Before that, Han Xiao had to first do what he had gone there to do.
With the translation, he knew the location of the Spacetime Amber. Han Xiao told the machines to bring out all of the ambers from every ruins and gather at the location of the Spacetime Amber.
…
Not long after, they landed at the ruins where the Spacetime Amber was.
Following the images, Han Xiao came to an empty room in the middle of this ruins’ central sanctuary. A mural entered his sights. It was about eight meters tall and thirty meters wide. The drawings were about the history of the Yasreans.
One of the images was a meteor-like black stone falling down from the clouds, with a group of tiny people below looking up. Han Xiao hovered up and came before this painting. He extended his hand and touched the meteor on this drawing.
His palm pressed onto the wall, and energy blew away the thick accumulated layer of dust.
Hu!
The dust was blown away.
Han Xiao pressed down heavily and cracked the meteor drawing open. Stones fell onto the ground.
Ka!
He dug out a dim white crystal from behind the wall, which had the same shape as the meteor in the painting.
Looking at the white crystal in his hands, Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled.
This ordinary looking crystal was the core of the Spacetime Amber. The Yasreans had hidden it in this mural.

You have received [Spacetime Amber].
Spacetime Amber: A Space Wonder object with an unknown origin. It can freeze spacetime and form a solid layer with the appearance of amber around all kinds of things. Energy cost depends on the size of the amber formed. Current Energy Value: 0

“I got it.” Han Xiao was thrilled.
This was the easiest to obtain Universal Treasure for him. After all, no one else knew about this thing’s existence other than him.
As he landed on the ground, the others surrounded him and sized the Spacetime Amber up with curiosity.
“This is the holy relic that can create amber that can block all kinds of attacks?” Hila sized the Spacetime Amber up. “Why does it not have any energy reaction at all?”
“This thing needs to be charged to be used,” Han Xiao explained. He then shot out a powerful flow of energy into the Spacetime Amber in his hands.
Boom!
An invisible impact wave exploded from Han Xiao’s body like a tornado. This was the aura that Han Xiao emitted when he released his energy at the maximum capacity.
The Mechanical Force flew into the Spacetime Amber as the dim Spacetime Amber started to gradually light up.
In the past four months, Han Xiao had completed the [Heber Stellar Furnace Cultivation] training. Having spent 3.9 billion EXP, his maximum energy had increased by more than 17,000, which was quite worth it for him.
The Spacetime Amber was like a bottomless pit that could devour an infinite amount of energy. Its energy value slowly grew.
Using the Spacetime Amber required a large amount of energy, but to a Mechanic who had mastered the psionic energy, there was more than enough energy.
Han Xiao thought about it and stopped using his own energy. He took out a few psionic reactors as batteries and linked them with the Spacetime Amber to keep charging it. It seemed like there was no limit to the amount of energy the Spacetime Amber could contain, so he did not worry about overcharging it.
After charging it, the Spacetime Amber finally showed an energy reaction.
With the Spacetime Amber in his hands, Han Xiao could feel the energy inside it. The method to use the Spacetime Amber was very simple; he just had to guide energy within it.
The way the Yasre Civilization used it was quite rough and did not have much to learn from, but Han Xiao recalled the better ways to use it, which the owners of the Spacetime Amber in his previous life had used. He could build a device that had the same frequency as the Spacetime Amber and put the Spacetime Amber in it. He could then connect to the device with Nerves Connection, so he would be able to control the Spacetime Amber with his mind and with greater accuracy.
Han Xiao would be able to easily build such a device, but now was not the time. He was not in a hurry to test the Spacetime Amber’s powers, so he decided to complete the hidden mission first.
The group of them walked out of the central sanctuary of the ruins. All of the Yasreans’ ambers were moved into those ruins. There were so many of them that they could not see the end of it.
Han Xiao came before a Yasrean and slashed the amber’s surface with the Spacetime Amber. The Spacetime Amber cut the translucent amber open with ease.
