Chapter 1384 - Beyonder’s Vestige, Remnant Consciousness Body (2/2)
At this moment, a sharp pain exploded from his brain and shook his soul.
Han Xiao pressed down on his head and clenched his teeth. He felt as if someone had thrown his brain into a blender.
He hurriedly opened the interface and saw that his health was depleting at an unbelievable speed. The damage notifications popped up and entered Han Xiao’s vision. He immediately understood the situation.
It was not that easy to obtain the Beyonder’s Vestige. If he wanted to absorb it into his body, he would have to endure an extremely high burden. While obtaining someone else’s inheritance, he would have to accept their ‘debt’.
According to the different causes of death of the Beyonder’s Vestige’s owner, the burden was also different. It was equivalent to the inheritor having to take the test and undergo a weakened version of the malignant mutation. It was the same type of danger as the Beyonder’s Vestige’s owner when he advanced.
This Beyonder’s Vestige’s owner died due to cosmic assimilation during his Promotion. The remaining soul consciousness had already partially fused with the universe consciousness, which resulted in a strong mental load. It contained the psychic impact of the universe consciousness, and its power was stronger than any Beyond Grade A mental attack that Han Xiao had ever experienced.
At this time, the spiritual entity finally spoke again.
“Since the impact has already begun, there’s no way to stop it. Either we succeed or we die.”
Han Xiao used all his strength to activate his recovery ability. Enduring the pain, he forced himself to focus and asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m just a product formed by my remaining soul consciousness. I’m no longer me. All that’s left is my incomplete memories and personality, as well as the obsession that supports my existence,” the spiritual entity said calmly.
“Are you the predecessor of this Beyonder’s Vestige?”
Han Xiao’s eyes twitched.
He had thought that the original owner had completely disappeared, but he did not expect that there would still be a remnant consciousness. Could it be that the other Beyonder’s Vestiges were also the same? At this time, the spiritual entity shook its head and said,
“I died when I was trying to break through to a higher level, but for some reason, I did not die completely. I continued to exist in this form. So, this is called Beyonder’s Vestige…”
He did not have the interface like Han Xiao, and did not know the reason and could not explain what had happened to him, nor did he know the secrets of the Beyonder’s Vestige.
“What’s your name?” Han Xiao could not help but ask. He was still curious about which Beyond Grade A in history this person was.
“Tyrsius,” the spiritual entity replied.
Han Xiao quickly recalled and realized that there was no such person in history.
“Which era’s Beyond Grade A are you? The exploration era or the Galaxy Calendar?”
“Beyond Grade A?” Tyrsius was confused. “What’s that?”
Han Xiao was stunned for a moment before realizing something.
“Have you heard of the three Universal Civilizations? The Crimson Dynasty, the Federation of Light, and the Arcane Church…”
Tyrsius shook his head. “I’m from Planet Cree, a wanderer of the universe. I’ve never heard of the three Universal Civilizations.”
Han Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
If this part of his memory was not incomplete, then this guy was not a Beyond Grade A from the explored universe, but a guest from the unexplored universe. The reason he appeared here was probably that the Beyonder’s Vestige had slowly drifted over after his death.
However, at this moment, Tyrsius suddenly paused and said thoughtfully, “Wait, I seem to have some impression of the Westsandling Civilization that you mentioned. I think I passed by a Star System civilization like this.”
Hearing this, Han Xiao was shocked.
Westsandling was the Federation of Light’s real name. If what this guy said was true, then he might have guessed wrong. This guy did not float over after his death, but he is an extremely ancient existence that had come to this region before the Federation of Light rose.
Han Xiao’s heart sank slightly. After receiving the Beyonder’s Vestige perception, he had a vague guess that this might not be the early stage of the Iteration, and the origin of Tyrsius seemed to confirm this guess.
Right at this moment, the mental shockwave passed its peak and finally subsided. Han Xiao immediately felt much better. Although it was very dangerous, he could still endure it with his tankiness.
Han Xiao felt much more relaxed. Just as he was about to ask Tyrsius more details, he suddenly realized that Tyrsius’ figure had become blurry. Tyrsius seemed to have expected this and took the initiative to explain.
“I died in the cosmic assimilation. If you can endure the burden, everything I left behind will be yours. When you succeed, it will be the day my remaining consciousness dies.”
“You…”
“I died a long time ago, and this is also a relief for me. The steps to a higher level are often forged by the deaths of the predecessors, so don’t worry about it.”
Tyrsius was rather open-minded.
Hearing this, Han Xiao had a strange expression.
To him, Tyrsius was just a stranger who had suddenly popped out of nowhere. He did not have any relationship with him, so he naturally did not feel anything. He just felt that this encounter was a little unexpected. He still had many things he wanted to ask this guy.
Furthermore, he doubted if this remnant consciousness would really disappear if he absorbed the Beyonder’s Vestige.
After all, one had to be wary of others. Han Xiao did not completely believe the other party’s words.
