Chapter 628 - 394: The Rose’s Curtain Call
In the grand chess game plotted by Luo, there were many complicated pieces, but the most critical move was left for Su Mo.
Luo took out a small black box from her arms. It was a storage device made with quantum technology, and its storage capacity reached an astronomical level compared to ordinary civilian storage equipment.
Of course, the storage device itself was not important; what mattered was what was inside.
Luo looked at the small black box in her hand, her gaze unusually fervent: "In the 36th year of Dawn, an exploration team from the Land of No Master discovered an Ancient Era Ruins. In its terminal computer, they found something we call the ’Human Document.’
"It is not a physical book, nor any material thing, but a concept, a comprehensive electronic compilation of data."
"The ’Human Document’ records all known historical knowledge, literary poetry, scientific theories, and documents from the Ancient Era, astronomical knowledge as vast as the universe’s dimensions, and the basic structure of biological cells, as innumerable and boundless as the sea—so much so that even the most knowledgeable scholars appear as ignorant pupils before it."
"Scientists concluded that the Human Document was likely created during the end-times war 153 years ago. A group of defeatists within humanity believed humans could not overcome the Constructs, and that civilization was destined to perish."
"Thus, they pooled all resources and efforts, gathering all documented literature from every channel up to that time, sealing them in a rigorously protected terminal computer, hoping that traces of human civilization would remain after extinction."
"Those defeatists were pessimistic and misjudged the situation; humanity ultimately survived the disaster, and at the cost of an entire era, smashed the Constructs. Human civilization indeed vanished, but the human species continued to proliferate."
"For over a century, the human species has thrived in this world, yet the majority still live in perpetual darkness because knowledge is monopolized—the very knowledge that should serve all humanity has become a weapon for the giants to maintain absolute dominance."
"Whether human civilization can once again greet the dawn, this ’Human Document’ documenting all known knowledge is the key."
Luo held Su Mo’s hand, gently placing the small black box into his palm, saying as she looked into his eyes, "Now, I entrust this spark to you."
Su Mo looked at the unassuming small black box in his palm, feeling the weight of destiny.
Indeed, this ’Human Document’ is none other than the Fifth Great Passage Artifact in the game ’Dawn.’
Unlike artifacts like the Ancestral Blood Code and Faceless Enzyme, which can enhance personal power, the ’Human Document’ does not bring any direct enhancement, but its latent power is immense.
Not to mention the astronomical, literary, and poetic material, the ’Human Document’s’ scientific data directly includes all related knowledge about the Blood Code, prosthetics, and Spiritual Brain—the three great extraordinary powers.
These bodies of knowledge were originally monopolized by Hegemony Company, Iron Blood Alliance, and Black Domain Group; each specializing and thus tightly controlling the extraordinary system, becoming the three major corporate giants above all beings.
But now she hands this fate-defining object to Su Mo, allowing him to gain power equal to that of the corporate giants in terms of knowledge and technology.
Since the Human Document is not a physical entity, merely a collection term for those documents, like the Black Extinction Virus, it is one of the few artifacts among the seven great passage artifacts that can exist simultaneously in multiple copies.
The Human Document that Luo holds is surely a copy, but in terms of effect, it is indistinguishable from the original.
How much time did she spend, how much effort did she expend, to quietly copy such a thing from the World Government, the burden of which only she knows.
Su Mo placed the small black box containing the Human Document into his arms, instinctively covering it with his hand after setting it in place, saying deeply, "I will use it well."
Having arranged others’ destinies, Luo too was now facing her own end.
Dusk tinged the sky with hues, the wind caressed her fiery red hair, and her golden eyes reflected the sunrise, carrying the same serene smile as always.
Luo slowly opened her arms to Su Mo: "It’s about time. Use your Ancestral Blood Code to consume my heart."
Su Mo gently whispered with downcast eyes, "Maybe we can think of something else..."
Before he finished speaking, his lips were pressed by slender, soft fingers.
Luo smiled softly at him: "I’ve told you before, though I’m a ’Divine Protection High-tier’ Blood Code Carrier, just one step away from the supreme ’Black King Level,’ I have as many as 12 ultimate safeguards on me—the corporate giants can end my life at any time."
"I am already a useless wasteland, and my power serves no purpose."
"But you’re different; you have not been shackled yet, and your confidentiality measures are excellent. The corporate giants haven’t even realized your threat, simply perceiving you as an ordinary Mad Corpse Blood Code Carrier."
"You possess the potential to surpass everyone, but the future does not afford you much time. You must, by any means necessary, grow stronger in the shortest time possible."
"After using the Ancestral Blood Code to consume me, my Divine Protection High-tier Blood Code will become nourishment, allowing the Blood Codes within you to undergo an unprecedented upgrade."
"For a useless wasteland, this is the ultimate, most maximized value."
