Night World Players

Chapter 162 What exactly... have I forgotten?

"Your Majesty Noah, it seems..."

"I won this round."

At this moment, in Noah's eyes, the figure of the young man whose body had been shattered -

It was the same as the first generation shore guardian who died with a smile on his face many years ago, the despicable thief who stole the fire.

Obviously, both their identities and situations are completely different, a world of difference...

However, they all said exactly the same words—

"This round...I won."

Did you... win?

What was about to be destroyed was just an incarnation, but what the first generation shore guardian was about to be deprived of was his real life.

With such a balance of interests, anyone can easily make a judgment.

However, the original shore watchman still said such words.

With a happy smile that doesn't seem fake.

……

In the dim sea water that evaporated in an instant, every cell and magical factor that constituted Noah's fertile incarnation was exposed to the scorching impact.

An emerald green light rose up, this was the abundant power of the legendary level, and it was about to forcibly repair and heal the cells that were annihilated by the impact... But the healing had just been completed, and they were annihilated again.

This process of extinction and resurrection repeated millions of times in an instant. Within a few seconds, the remaining abundant power was quickly consumed, causing the "Root Leaf" that was the core of this incarnation to gradually wither and sound an alarm of imminent collapse.

But the soul of Noah, whose spirit was severed by the original body and used to control this incarnation... was now just silently watching the moment of extinction, as if his entire body and mind had been taken away by the dazzling light.

Some broken memories that had long been forgotten by him reappeared in Noah's mind in an instant.

That was a long, long time ago.

It was so long ago that it spanned several eras... At that time, the gods could still walk the earth, and humans had not yet truly become the masters of the world.

That was the darkest and most oppressive era for humanity, where they could only survive as vassals of mythical races... in the devastating wars of the gods.

Perhaps during the war between gods, an insignificant aftermath of the clash between mythological races would be enough to destroy an entire human tribe.

However, during that period, an unknown and dull human emerged from an insignificant tribe.

He believed that humans, who lacked fangs and claws, powerful spellcasting talents, long lifespans, and special bloodlines... could only rely on the power of knowledge if they wanted to contend with those powerful mythical creatures.

Even in the beginning, the knowledge passed on was just a few insignificant summaries of experience, such as hunting techniques, herbal recipes, and methods of making fire.

However, as long as it can be passed down from generation to generation, as time goes by, the progress of civilization history... will be improved, completed and filled in by generations.

Then, one day——

A newly sprouted seedling can grow into a towering tree...

And the tiny spark at the beginning will turn into a raging fire, setting the whole world on fire.

then--

Under the guidance of that nameless figure, humanity discovered the sequence of beings capable of becoming extraordinary, and also discovered the Nightblade—manifested from one's own mental landscape—corresponding to the dragon language magic of the ancient dragons and the enchanting eye talent of the vampires. Thus, the once weak humanity finally possessed the means to contend with many mythical races.

It rose little by little from obscurity, defeated many mythical species that gradually declined as the mysterious tide receded, and became the new master of this continent.

Noah was born at that time, at the end of the Age of Gods.

He had personally participated in the human race's conquests, exterminating the ancient mythical species one by one and becoming the master of the world.

I have also followed the first leader of mankind, the unknown fool who created an extraordinary system and opened up the inheritance of knowledge... and enjoyed the flowers, applause, cheers and glory of the people when he returned triumphantly.

That glory is so dazzling, so blazing, like a blessing.

It is precisely because of my heart's insistence on that glory and my admiration for that leader...

So, when that nameless fool discovered the law of the changing eras and proposed to establish the Gravekeeper Organization to watch over the spark of future generations of humanity—

Noah had chosen to join without hesitation, giving up his life in the First Age and refusing the requests of his friends, family, and relatives to stay...

Sleeping in a cold grave, when you wake up again, everything has changed. All the people and things you were familiar with in the past are no longer there, and the only goal is to "reinforce the future."

yes……

At that time, wasn't I the same as the first generation shore guard, Cecil... and Last in front of me?

Are you willing to give up everything and embark on the path of becoming a gravekeeper for some illusory and illusory thing?
That burning original intention and ideal, compared to the young man in front of him, is definitely not inferior in the slightest...

Believe in the power of knowledge.

Believe in the potential of the future and entrust your unfinished mission to future generations.

I believe that persistent persistence will eventually be rewarded. One day, the accumulation day after day and year after year will eventually become a tower.

I want to break the endless cycle of reincarnation and redeem human civilization from that hellish world.

This ideal, which no one could deny or overturn, remained hidden deep within his heart... It was something that neither gods nor fate could take away or defile.

but……

When did I forget this original ideal?

He became despicable and servile... He used all means to gain immortality and eternal life, and ended up becoming the hideous person he is today.

In order to follow the rules of the changing eras and to be closer to eternity and the laws of nature, he even personally wielded the butcher knife against the human beings he had once sworn to protect.

and so--

The one who betrayed his original belief and became a traitor...was it the shore keeper or the gravekeeper himself?
The last ray of emerald green power of abundance dissipated from Noah's embodiment of abundance.

What am I confused about and what have I missed?
Isn't it enough to just look back and find the forgotten original intention?

"What on earth am I..."

"I've forgotten something..."

This unheard whisper remained unspoken.

The scorching light took everything to another world.
