High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 265 Final Victory, Obtaining the Twin Masks! Twin Mechanical Race! Power Surges! Favored by the Emperor!

In the vast vacuum of the universe, a bronze balance scale, whose magnificence cannot be described in words, lies silently across the Milky Way.

Outside the scales, at the entrance to the Twin Rivers 73-74, the many powerful figures who were originally engaged in a bloody and relentless battle have now strangely fallen silent.

Neil of the Light Clan, Ye Luo, the son of the Stone Emperor, Tak, the golden-armored behemoth... one after another, the rising stars of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, as well as those veteran powerhouses who had been immersed in the Black Hole level for hundreds of thousands of years, all stopped their attacks with remarkable tacit understanding.

Their gazes pierced through layers of space, fixed on the void shrouded by the bronze scales, their eyes filled with greed, fear, and an undisguised shock.

A wonder of the universe!

The weight these four words carry is enough to drive any being below the rank of king to madness.

They all knew that the battle had entered its final stage.

Whether it's Qin Feng of the human race or Kuang Ye of the machine race, once the battle is decided, the victor who holds both [Twin Masks] will leave through that single entrance.

That will be the time for them to reap the rewards.

An even more brutal and frenzied hunt will begin immediately after the final curtain falls.

No one would willingly let one person monopolize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

……

Within the scales lies another, entirely different world.

Qin Feng and the Wild Machine Clan stood on two enormous bronze trays, gazing at each other from afar.

Beneath their feet was not solid metal, but an endless, surging, blazing white sea of ​​flames.

The flame had no physical form, yet it exuded a terrifying aura that could make even black hole-level beings tremble.

With just a glance, Qin Feng felt as if his soul had been thrown into a furnace, a burning pain originating from the very source of life that caused ripples in his spiritual sea.

This is a fire of despair powerful enough to consume the soul.

Qin Feng's expression was more solemn than ever before.

He looked around. This space was imprisoned by a supreme power of rules. Apart from the tray under his feet, the wildness opposite him, and the sea of ​​fire below, there was nothing else.

There was no way back, no shortcuts; it was like a trial with rules already predetermined.

However, just as Qin Feng was trying his best to analyze the current predicament, the soul fire representing the core will on the Wild One on the opposite tray, whose body was composed of countless precision machines, was pulsating violently, emitting a cold sense of confidence.

A strange scene happened.

In Qin Feng's perception, Wild Man clearly did not make any movement, but the bronze tray beneath his feet was slowly rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, getting further and further away from that blazing white sea of ​​soul fire.

At the same time, the tray where Qin Feng was located began to sink slowly and steadily without anyone noticing.

A scorching heat rose from below, and even from a great distance, Qin Feng felt a stinging sensation on his skin—a sign that his soul was about to be ignited.

"Qin Feng!"

The wild, cold metallic syllables resounded directly in Qin Feng's mind, carrying a condescending scrutiny and undisguised greed.

"Your physical foundation is truly unparalleled in my life—resilient, powerful, and brimming with boundless potential. You truly deserve to be called a top genius of the human race! This perfect physique will soon belong to me!"

The wild soul fire pulsed more and more violently, conveying undisguised excitement: "Once I use the [Twin Masks] to seize your identity and this perfect body, and with the supreme wisdom of my mechanical gods, we can launch a coordinated attack from within and without, and conquer the human territory will be just around the corner!"

Qin Feng remained silent, his scarlet eyes revealing an extreme calmness.

His wild words revealed astonishing information, but they did not throw him into a panic.

The more dangerous the situation, the more steadfast his Dao heart, forged in countless life-and-death battles, became.

He forced himself to block out the burning pain that was constantly approaching from below, and his mental energy was running at an unprecedented speed, frantically analyzing everything in front of him.

A way to break the deadlock!

He must find the rules of this cosmic wonder in the shortest possible time!
Without a doubt, this was the most bizarre and dangerous predicament he had encountered since embarking on the path of martial arts.

Unlike any previous battle, here, his prized killing skills, indestructible body, and unparalleled speed all seemed to have lost their meaning.

He didn't even know who the enemy was, or how to fight back. He could only watch helplessly as he, like a sacrifice, slowly fell into the soul fire that could burn everything to ashes.

"The scales...the core of the rules must be related to 'balance'."

Qin Feng's mind raced like lightning: "Whichever side is 'heavier,' that side will sink."

His gaze fell on the name of this cosmic wonder—[The Balance of Desire].

"The weight of desire?"

A thought flashed through my mind in an instant.

"Does it mean to abandon one's own desires?"

Qin Feng immediately began to try.

He silently vowed to himself that he was willing to relinquish his desire for the "Final Singularity" and all his pursuit of power.

Qin Feng tried to empty his mind, like a still well.

However, the downward trend of the pallet did not ease in the slightest.

The searing, soul-crushing heat only grew clearer.

"wrong!"

Qin Feng immediately dismissed this guess.

At this rate, at most one more imperial standard, his physical body and soul will be completely devoured by that terrifying flame, turning into the most insignificant dust in the universe, without even a chance to return to the Golden Throne.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Wild, maniacal laughter erupted again, filled with mockery and ridicule.

"Qin Feng, there's no need to make these futile struggles anymore. In the face of the rules of the 'Scales of Desire,' all your wisdom and strength are nothing but a joke."

"Give up, accept your fate. Your death will forge an unprecedentedly great existence!"

Qin Feng remained unmoved. He suddenly raised his left hand, his fingers forming a knife-like shape, and slashed fiercely at his right arm!

laugh--

Blood splattered as he ripped off a muscular arm, brimming with terrifying power, and threw it without hesitation into the sea of ​​soul fire below.

However, the severed arm vanished silently the moment it came into contact with the flames.

Meanwhile, the tray beneath Qin Feng's feet continued to sink steadily, as if what he was abandoning was nothing more than a speck of dust.

"Physical 'weight' is irrelevant..."

Qin Feng's eyes grew increasingly deep.

He then tried several operations related to concepts such as "weight," "desire," and "sacrifice," but all of them were like stones sinking into the sea, unable to shake this supreme rule in the slightest.

Time is passing by, second by second.

The outline of the sea of ​​fire below was becoming clearer and clearer in his pupils, and the stinging pain in his soul was assaulting his will wave after wave.

Left with no other choice, Qin Feng's consciousness sank into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, touching the page that radiated a strange and intelligent light.

"Heh... kid, I thought your proud pride would never make you ask me for help."

On the pages of Treachery, light and shadow shifted, and an aged voice, seemingly containing all the wisdom and intrigue of the universe, rang out, carrying a hint of predictable laughter.

"What is this scale? Tell me its rules."

Qin Feng's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation; it was direct and cold.

"Oh? That's quite direct."

The light on the pages of the book flickered. "These are cosmic wonders, treasures born from the most fundamental rules at the very beginning of the primordial universe. Their power and rules are bizarre, mysterious, and unpredictable; even gods cannot fully comprehend them."

He paused, then changed the subject, saying in a boastful tone, "Well, you're lucky. I happen to know some of the uses of this [Scales of Desire]."

"If you're willing to grant me even the smallest request, I can not only tell you the rules, but I can even tell you how to achieve ultimate victory."

Qin Feng fell silent.

Make skin with a tiger.

These four words clearly surfaced in his mind.

Granting a request from a chaotic evil god, no matter how simple it may sound, inevitably hides an unpredictable abyss.

However, the choices we face in reality are often so cruel.

If you don't agree, there's only one outcome—death.

It is a complete and utter annihilation; the soul and the body are erased together, leaving no possibility of rebirth.

Under the rules of this cosmic marvel, death is the end.

"Just tell me."

After a long silence, Qin Feng responded calmly.

"Hehe, a wise choice."

The pages of the book let out a satisfied laugh. “It’s simple. If you survive this, you will need to help my followers destroy a greenskin tribe called ‘Golden Great’ in the future.”

To wipe out a greenskin tribe?
Qin Feng's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

This requirement doesn't seem too demanding.

The Greenskins are a cosmic menace, and humanity has always been their mortal enemy.

But he knew all too well that the deal with the evil god would never be so simple.

Behind this must lie causes and effects and schemes that he cannot currently comprehend.

However, did he have a choice?
"it is good."

Qin Feng agreed without hesitation.

"Very good, the contract is established."

Tzeentch's voice held a hint of pleasure, "Well then, listen up, kid."

"The 'Scales of Desire' measures not desires, nor weight, but one of the most fundamental laws of the universe—'balance'."

"Just like light and darkness, creation and destruction, life and death... all things in the world exist at both ends of balance. This scale is the concrete manifestation of the law of balance."

"The beings that use this scale must wager their own souls."

The victor will take everything from the loser—body, soul, talent, memories, and even their very existence in the universe—and replace them; while the loser will perish, their soul and body becoming nourishment for the scales of desire, utterly devoured and completely erased from the universe.

"And what determines the balance is the value of what you 'give up'."

Tzeentch's voice was full of temptation: "Whoever can give up the thing that is most 'valuable' to himself will have a 'lighter' soul, and thus rise higher on the scales and win the final victory."

"As for the [Twin Masks]... you've probably guessed some of its rules. It allows the souls of two beings to connect, and their physical strength and spiritual power will be mutually enhanced and amplified. It's a wondrous object that can make both parties infinitely stronger."

"Now, do you understand? When the Twin Masks meet the Scales of Desire... if you lose, your soul will instantly dissipate, while the wild soul will perfectly inhabit your powerful body."

Not only will he suffer no loss, but he will immediately enjoy the blessing of the [Twin Masks], forming a 'twin' with his own mechanical body, instantly boosting his strength to an unimaginable level!

Qin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

That's it!

In an instant, all my doubts were cleared up.

No wonder Wild had repeatedly used mechanical creations to "help" him during the chaotic battle.

That wasn't a gesture of goodwill, but rather an attempt to "protect" his soon-to-be-acquired "trophy"!
From the very beginning, Wild's goal was not simply to seize the mask, but to use the [Scales of Desire], a cosmic artifact he had already mastered, to take everything from him, along with the potential of the [Twin Masks]!
What a deep and ruthless scheme!
This madman from the machine race set up a deadly trap for himself from the very beginning!

"Abandon...the most valuable thing..."

Qin Feng's thoughts raced.

"Kid, let me remind you one more time."

The cunning voice echoed softly, “Those who can ascend to the [Hidden Dragon List] are all chosen ones of heaven, possessing great fortune and opportunities. More or less, they have all been ‘favored’ by us gods.”

Wildness's willingness to use the "Scales of Desire" indicates that he must have a trump card that he believes will guarantee victory.

Therefore... if you want to win, you must give up... what is most precious to you!

Jianqi's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Qin Feng's mind.

The most precious thing...

Among the prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List, everyone has a trump card.

What Wild abandons must be something related to his belief in the Machine God race, or something supreme bestowed by a certain god.

And what about yourself?

What is the most precious thing about yourself?

Is it the indestructible [Heavenly Evolution Weapon]?
Is it the [Crimson Gold Wings] that can unleash ten times the speed of light?
Is it still that unused, ultimate trump card, the [Guro Bell] fragment?
No... none of these are it.

These are certainly precious, but they are ultimately external things.

Qin Feng's gaze pierced through layers of mist, pointing directly to the origin of his soul and existence.

He thought of the pages of the Treachery Book in his mind's eye, representing conspiracy and wisdom, and the skull of Khorne, symbolizing slaughter and courage.

He also thought of the biggest secret that accompanied him from humble beginnings to rise and changed his life—the attribute panel that emitted a pale golden light and could be switched at will with a mere thought.

【God rewards hard work】

This is the foundation of everything he has, the starting point for his defying fate!
A crazy and resolute thought surged in his mind.

If you're going to give something up, then give it up completely!

Since we're going to walk our own path, let's cut off all crutches and reliance!
"Then I'll discard everything that affects me and binds me!"

This thought, like a wildfire, instantly occupied his entire mind.

He wanted to relinquish the gifts of the evil god, the pollution of chaos, and even... the golden finger that enabled his rise to power!

hum-

The moment Qin Feng made up his mind, the ancient bronze balance, which seemed to exist independently of the universe, suddenly emitted a resounding hum that shook the world!

The scales seemed to sense Qin Feng's resolute will.

The next moment, Qin Feng clearly felt that the [Treachery Book Page] deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, which emitted a strange blue-purple light, instantly lost all its luster, turning into specks of light and dissipating into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, the [Khorne Skull], filled with primal killing intent, shattered into dust and completely merged into the background of his consciousness.

Finally, there was the one he was most familiar with: the pale gold "Heaven Rewards Kindness" panel.

It surfaced, deeply imprinted in Qin Feng's consciousness for the last moment, and then, like a mirage, slowly faded away until it disappeared completely.

An unprecedented sense of emptiness instantly swept over Qin Feng's entire body.

It was a kind of excruciating pain, as if the most important part of one's life had been forcibly torn away.

Endless reluctance and regret surged into his heart like a demon, almost devouring his will.

But he eventually pulled through.

In a fleeting moment, the confusion and pain in his eyes were replaced by an unprecedented firmness and purity.

From this day forward, Qin Feng will have no external support on his path of martial arts!

He only believes in himself!
boom!
The moment his Dao heart was completely stabilized, the bronze tray beneath his feet seemed to break free from the gravity of billions of stars and began to soar wildly!
Its speed was so fast that it even left a golden afterimage in the void!

"What?! How is this possible?!"

Opposite, the Wild One, which was slowly rising, suddenly contracted violently at its core soul fire, unleashing an unbelievable and horrifying intent.

"You...how could you have figured out the rules?! No! This is impossible! This is Tzeentch's conspiracy! I knew it! I knew that none of the gods could be trusted!"

Wild was completely panicked.

He watched helplessly as his tray, which had been rising, suddenly stopped and began an unstoppable, rapid descent!
The blazing white soul fire rapidly magnified in his vision, and its terrifying temperature, enough to incinerate everything, had begun to scorch his mechanical body.

"Qin Feng! Stop! Stop now! Turn back your mind!"

Wild let out a terrified scream: "We can coexist peacefully! The bonuses from the [Twin Masks] can be shared by you and me! If we join forces, we will surely dominate this starry sky! A harmonious scene between humans and machines will no longer be a dream!" However, Qin Feng just looked at him quietly with a cold and indifferent gaze.

"You madman! What exactly did you give up?!"

He roared wildly and desperately, feeling his soul being ignited, the primal pain driving him mad.

"I...I abandoned the spark bestowed upon me by my lord, the 'God of Machines'! And the pages of knowledge from the Lord of Change, yet...why can't I stop the downward spiral?!"

"Qin Feng! You're ruthless!"

You've abandoned even more than I have!

Seeing no hope of begging for mercy, his wild thoughts were filled with the most venomous curses.

"However, you won't live much longer either!"
By accepting Tzeentch's knowledge, you've essentially left your name on his endless chessboard of intrigue!
He's already got his hands on you! You'll eventually become his pawn, hahahaha—"

In its final burst of laughter and curses, Wild's massive mechanical body plunged completely into the boundless, blazing white flames.

No screaming, no struggle.

In just an instant, his enormous body, comparable to a star, along with his powerful soul, completely dissipated and turned into nothingness.

With Wild's demise, [The Balance of Desire] seemed to have completed its mission. After devouring Wild's soul, its enormous body, which spanned the universe, transformed into a stream of light and instantly disappeared into this cosmic vacuum.

The surrounding spacetime returned to normal.

A cold mask, shimmering with numerous mysterious blue-purple runes and filled with unknown secrets, appeared silently in front of Qin Feng and automatically adhered to his face.

At the same time, Qin Feng clearly felt a strange yet somewhat familiar soul fluctuation that, through the mask, established a mysterious connection with him.

With a thought, he took out a massive amount of rare alloys from his storage space.

The moment these alloys appeared, they seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, and began to automatically decompose and recombine.

Within seconds, a mechanical warrior, seven or eight parts similar to the previous wild one, but even more ferocious and full of killing intent, was created out of thin air.

The other [Twin Mask] floated quietly at the core of this mechanical warrior—the location of the "Mech Soul"—emitting a faint glow.

An unprecedented and novel experience welled up in Qin Feng's mind.

He felt as if his consciousness had split in two, able to flow freely and without delay between his human body and this new mechanical creation.

It's a feeling of complete control!

"Om..."

The moment his consciousness sank into his mechanical body, a vast and complex stream of information flooded into his mind.

Those are countless coordinates, countless mechanical camps hidden near the Twin Rivers, and even countless light-years away!

Those were the countless backup plans and secondary bases that Wild had prepared for himself over the long years.

And now, they have all become his legacy!

Qin Feng's soul seemed to have transformed into an invisible "machine spirit".

He felt that as long as he had a thought, his consciousness could instantly tear through space and appear on any mechanical object within a ten-light-year range!

He can even multitask, simultaneously controlling thousands of mechanical creations to form a true "one-man army"!
This is the core racial talent of the Machine Race!
Now, Qin Feng, a pure human, has perfectly mastered this talent through the mysterious combination of the [Twin Masks] and the [Scales of Desire], two wondrous cosmic artifacts!

In addition, Qin Feng is even more monstrous than the mechanical race, because if the mechanical race gets too far away from their mechanical creations, their machine soul, or soul, will shatter, and they will perish completely.

As long as Qin Feng's human body doesn't die, it doesn't matter how many mechanical creations die, or even if the machine soul is gone; it's just a wisp of spiritual energy.

Not only that!

A surging power began to flow from all directions, continuously feeding back into his human body through the connection of the [Twin Masks].

"Twin masks are meant to enhance each other, stealing each other's attributes while also feeding back one's own attributes to the other, allowing both to grow stronger through symbiosis."

"And now, though Wild is dead, through the rules of the [Scales of Desire], I have taken his 'existence' and made this new mechanical body my 'other half'. I have twinned with myself from the mechanical race!"

An unprecedented glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

"That is to say..."

"The stronger my human body and soul are, the stronger the mechanical creations I make will be after being enhanced by the attributes of my own body!"

"Conversely, the larger and more powerful the mechanical army I create, the greater the boost to my physical strength, mental quality, and so on, through the feedback from the [Twin Masks]!"

"This is simply... like stepping on your own foot to reach the sky!"

An overwhelming surge of joy welled up in Qin Feng's heart.

This is a huge gain!

Moreover, the mechanical race's talents are not limited to these; he still needs to explore the others.

He is now both Qin Feng of the human race and the new ruler of the mechanical race!

He possesses a human body and countless mechanical creations, but only one soul.

He is perfectly capable of multitasking, even controlling countless mechanical creations while cultivating his human body.

A powerful sense of strength filled his entire body.

He could clearly feel that his human body was being terrifyingly strengthened by the power of countless wild mechanical creations left behind in those distant mechanical camps!

Qin Feng's overall physical strength has increased by a whopping 30%!

It is a leap and sublimation originating from the deepest essence of life.

The physical body, already tempered to an unbelievable degree by the [Eternal Singularity], now, with the blessing of the [Twin Masks], every cell, every fascia, and every bone seems to be infused with some kind of life code originating from another advanced race.

Resilient, precise, and possessing a cold, powerful vitality capable of adapting to any harsh environment.

The transformation of spiritual power is even more mysterious.

The originally golden-red ocean of spiritual energy now seemed to be infused with countless tiny blue data streams, making his perception more three-dimensional and precise.

He even had the illusion that, if he wanted, his thoughts could instantly break down into billions of threads, simultaneously processing massive amounts of information and performing unimaginably complex calculations.

This is the immense benefit brought about by being "twins" with the Machine Race.

A genuine smile involuntarily curved the corners of his mouth.

This was a high-stakes gamble, a gamble that placed life and death entirely under unknown rules, and he won.

In the blink of an eye, his mental power, infused with the characteristics of the mechanical race, instantly enveloped this vast river basin like an invisible and intangible giant net.

No one is empty.

Or rather, there wasn't a single living being in sight.

Everywhere you look, there are shocking battlefield wreckage.

Broken star fragments, broken pieces of treasures, and numerous lifeless limbs floated silently in the crimson river.

The entire basin seemed to have transformed into a vast star graveyard, silently recounting the brutality and bloodshed of the previous battle.

Hundreds and thousands of galaxy-level and even dozens of well-known black hole-level powerhouses have turned into dust in this cold river.

"They should have all left the Twin Rivers, but they definitely didn't leave."

Qin Feng's gaze pierced through the endless void, looking towards the only entrance to the Twin Rivers, and he calmly made a judgment.

“Those guys are definitely blocking the entrance, waiting to ambush the final victor.”

This is an open strategy, simple yet incredibly effective.

Whoever obtains the [Twin Masks] must pass through the entrance to leave.

At that time, facing the combined attack of dozens of powerful individuals of the same level, even the top ten prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking would only have one path: death.

"If I wanted, I could simply discard this physical body."

Qin Feng calmly analyzed all the possibilities, "Using the mechanical race talent I just acquired, I will transfer my core soul to the mechanical creation camps left behind by the Wild Ones near the Twin Rivers. In this way, I can slip away unnoticed and make all their ambushes come to naught."

This choice is undoubtedly rational and safe.

The "Mechanical Soul" talent of the Mechanical Race gave him an epic boost in survivability.

As long as there is a mechanical creation that serves as an "anchor" for his soul, he is virtually immortal.

"However... the price is too high."

Qin Feng quickly rejected the idea.

"First and foremost is the mission of the cosmic will, which cannot be abandoned and must be completed, otherwise we will suffer a huge loss."

"Furthermore, reshaping a physical body is not difficult for me. Given enough resources and time, I can perfectly replicate a body that is exactly the same as my current one. But this 'time' would probably be measured in 'ten thousand years'."

His current physical body is the result of countless life-and-death battles, the absorption of massive amounts of rare and precious materials, and the tempering and refinement of the [Eternal Singularity] at its core. Its value is immeasurable.

If we abandon it, the time and resource costs required to reach the current level again will be astronomical.

More importantly, this will deprive him of his strongest combat capabilities for a long period of time, reducing his margin for error to the lowest level.

In the impending, foreseeable, and personally ordered death hunt by the will of the universe, any slight weakening of strength could lead to utter annihilation.

"The Machine Race Twins are my trump card, the ultimate means of 'resurrection,' and must not be easily revealed."

Qin Feng's eyes became incredibly determined. He wanted to be the one to fight his way out head-on, not to abandon everything and flee like a stray dog.

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated, reached out and gently grasped the mechanical creation in front of him, which was made of countless precision alloys.

"Click——"

With a sickening metallic twisting sound, the grotesque mechanical warrior, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, was forcibly crushed into a lump of scrap metal whose original form was unrecognizable.

He categorized all sorts of rare alloys and core components and stored them all in his subspace storage unit.

After all this was done, no trace of the mechanical race could be seen in this river basin anymore.

No one but himself knew that he had already achieved "twin birth" with a mechanical prodigy.

"Hmm, perhaps... Tzeentch knows."

The thought flashed through my mind.

Qin Feng's consciousness slowly sank into the deepest part of his soul.

Huge changes have also taken place here.

The area that was once tainted by the power of chaos is now completely empty.

The Treachery Pages, which exuded an aura of endless cunning and change, and the Skull of Khorne, which always burned with boundless rage and bloodlust, had both vanished completely, as if they had never existed.

The entire sea of ​​consciousness appeared clearer and purer than ever before.

Only two "Imperial Golden Nails," radiating a warm yet powerful golden light, floated quietly in the center of his consciousness like two eternal suns, spreading a gentle and reassuring glow.

Unlike the bizarre power brought by the blessings of evil gods, which is full of corruption and temptation, these two golden nails only make Qin Feng feel a sense of peace, honor and belonging from the depths of his bloodline.

"The 'Heaven Rewards Diligence' panel... is also gone."

Qin Feng's mind stirred slightly, and he tried to make a call in his mind.

"panel?"

"panel?"

He called out to it several times in his mind, but the familiar light screen he had expected did not appear before his eyes.

There was complete silence in my mind's eye; there was no response.

He really... lost it.

Just as an indescribable sense of loss and melancholy welled up in Qin Feng's heart, a grand, gentle, yet infinitely majestic and ancient voice resounded directly in the depths of his soul without warning.

The voice was not as majestic as thunder, but it was deeper than the starry sea.
It is not as gentle as the spring breeze, but it is warmer than the sunshine.

It is full of concern and expectations for the younger generation, as if an elder who has been away from home for many years has finally seen the growth of the younger generation and let out a gratified sigh.

"Qin Feng, you have already abandoned the panel."

boom!
The moment that voice appeared, Qin Feng's entire soul trembled!
He could clearly feel that in his sea of ​​consciousness, beside the two imperial golden nails, a third golden nail was slowly taking shape amidst endless radiance!
The source of this sound is self-evident!

It's the Emperor!
He is the guardian of human civilization, a great being who sits on the golden throne and protects the fate of the entire human race with his own soul!
An overwhelming surge of excitement and reverence welled up in Qin Feng's heart.

This was the first time he had ever felt the Emperor's presence so vividly!
"Qin Feng, it's fortunate that you didn't choose to abandon the golden nail."

The emperor's voice carried a hint of teasing and laughter, as if he were an old friend chatting casually with his nephews and nieces. This instantly diluted the sacred and distant feeling, allowing Qin Feng's tense mind to relax completely.

"Tzeentch is lying to you."

The emperor's voice continued, revealing the secret of heaven in a single sentence.

"The 'Heaven Rewards Diligence' panel was created by me. Its purpose is to usher in a golden age for humanity where everyone is like a dragon, and as long as you put in the effort, you will surely reap the rewards..."

"It doesn't matter if you abandon the panel. With your current strength, you no longer need it."

"There are many more young people of the human race who need it."

That's it!

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was first taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on, and the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished.

He had always believed that the panel was Tzeentch's creation.

After all, that's what Tzeentch's pages had told him, and the power to quantify all effort was indeed beyond his comprehension at the time, so he was deceived by Tzeentch's lies.

Even on the scales of desire, Tzeentch's final advice was full of scheming and misleading, attempting to induce him to abandon the Imperial Nail along with it.

However, Qin Feng always believed that a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.

No matter how eloquently Tzeentch speaks, he cannot change the great fact that the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, transformed himself into a beacon in the warp, and endured billions of years of loneliness and torment to protect humanity and ensure its survival to this day.

It was this heartfelt recognition and reverence that made him resolutely retain the "golden nail" symbolizing the emperor's approval at the final moment of decision.

"Strive to become the new god of humanity."

The emperor's voice gradually faded away, leaving only a sentence that was both an admonition and a blessing, echoing in Qin Feng's mind for a long time.

As the Emperor's will departed, the third Emperor's Golden Nail was completely formed, forming a triangle with the first two nails, and hovering stably. The light it emitted was several times stronger than before, illuminating Qin Feng's entire soul with brilliance.

Qin Feng's consciousness slowly returned to reality.

He opened his eyes, and there was no longer any confusion in them, only a firm belief as solid as a rock.

Qin Feng raised his head and looked up at the Twin Rivers.

Since he had already obtained both [Twin Masks], the miniature black holes that had been constantly spewing out various rare and precious materials had now completely fallen silent.

At that moment, he clearly sensed that the omnipresent will of the universe had descended once again.

Lines of cold, cosmic text appeared in his mind.

The task has been updated.

Phase One Completed: Successfully Acquired the Cosmic Artifact "Twin Masks"

A total of seventy-two Black Hole-level beings.]

Lines of text, like thunderclaps, exploded in Qin Feng's mind.

He knew that from this moment on, the real game of death had begun.

(End of this chapter)
