"When the catastrophe struck, my sister and I were both children under ten,"

"Almost all adults died, and almost all the survivors were primary school children. Then, the first night's green nooses killed many more... I hadn't studied history by then, but I heard a sentence in a listening exercise: 'Only those with firm beliefs can reach the other shore of the night.' It was because of this that my sister and I barely made it through the night."

"When we were scavenging through the ruins, we encountered a group of older kids who planned to go to the Silent Spiral, because they found in the library that those who came out from the Silent Spiral were more likely to survive."

"Yes, the library was still intact. My sister and I remembered this and followed them to the Silent Spiral. We weren't short of food; it was easy to find unexpired food in the ruins of the cities we passed by. But after 67 days, when we reached the Silent Spiral, only eight of us were left; the others perished in the green nooses of the black night."

"After coming out of the Silent Spiral, the eight of us wandered the Wasteland together because we had emerged from the Silent Spiral. We called ourselves the Children of the Spiral."

"We found many survivors, children living in the Underground City who didn't have to experience the green nooses. Many things from the old era were abandoned, and they were struggling to survive until we arrived."

"To lead them in rebuilding the civilization on the surface, some of the Children of the Spiral stayed behind. Eternal Fire, justice, freedom... The Children of the Spiral became the new fire of civilization, making the children believe in them to survive the night's green nooses."

"In the end, only my sister and I were left, and we continued to travel the land, browsing through the materials in various libraries. Although most facilities were destroyed by the catastrophe, the identity systems oddly remained effective. Luckily our citizenship had not been lost because of the catastrophe, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to enter the libraries."

"We wanted to discover the true cause of the catastrophe, but it was top secret information from the old era. We could only vaguely analyze that it was not a natural disaster, but man-made. During this process, we also reviewed other materials from the Divine Era and found that even with the presence of the Divine Fire System, many disasters and conflicts still occurred during the transition periods of the Divine Era."

"We gradually realized that although individual consciousness can help people grow in intelligence and learn skills, when civilization develops to a certain degree, consciousness instead becomes our restraint. In order to reduce the internal consumption of the transition of the Divine Era as much as possible, Mages worked hard to create the Divine Fire System, but it was still destroyed in the catastrophe."

"As long as there is self-consciousness, there will be conflict, disaster, accidents, and internal consumption. This is the tragedy of civilization, and our tragedy too."

"We must transcend consciousness."

When Ash opened his eyes, he saw a tiny Golden Thunder Wolf on his shoulder, the flickering arcs of lightning causing him no harm, draping over him like fur.

He had not expected that the Transcend Sect's Transcendence Prison Technique was actually the oldest first-generation Great Skill!

However...

Ash turned to look at the person opposite him, the aloof and sexy Silver Lamp was also draped in blue electric arcs, with a tiny Thunder Claw hamster stuffed into the cleavage of her chest, her hair waving wildly like lightning serpents!

As he hosted the Transcendence Prison Technique, Silver Lamp had also successfully hosted the Sonic Strum Great Skill!

Whoosh!

With a boom like thunder, Ash turned into a blur as he launched a swift assault!

Boom!

The moment Ash's arm collided with Silver Lamp's, countless gold and blue lightning arcs burst forth from their bodies, the shockwave alone from this legendary-level encounter was too much for the Transcendence believers to bear!

However, compared to the shock wave, perhaps what was more shocking to the Transcendence believers' worldview was that the Transcendence Prison Technique was actually clashing with the Sonic Strum Great Skill!

Ash let out a thunderous roar, growing a horn of Golden Thunder on his head, and as the sharp horn crackled intensely with electricity, golden arcs filled the entire space!

Silver Lamp crouched on the ground with her limbs outstretched like a sultry vixen, growing a tail of lightning arcs. As her tail went rigid and puffed up, blue lightning painted the ground!

Host God's second form—Phantasmal Breed!

Not all Great Skills had a second form because the second form was a strategy summarized by previous Hosted God bearers as the most effective way to utilize the power of the Great Skill, equivalent to a perfect guide by old players. Therefore, Ash and Silver Lamp immediately entered into the second form after taking on the Great Skill, skipping the stage of getting acquainted with its power!

When Silver Lamp's gaze moved to the audience seats for an instant, Ash rushed in front of her, and with a palm like the devastating Thunder Claw, he slammed down fiercely!

No need for a Technique Spirit, no need for miracles, the Hosted God themselves were the supreme Tactical Weapon, relying only on instinct to fight!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Ash as the Golden Wolf showed exceptional combat power, like a fierce beast incessantly tearing at its prey, each blow detonated violent thunder, creating incessant explosions; although Silver Lamp was pressured in combat, her movements were more agile, her attacks rapid and precise, like a surgical scalpel!

The two figures, one gold and one blue, contended across the field in a flurry of motion, merging and clashing like entwined lovers, like wild beasts tearing at each other, until with a 'whoosh,' the blue figure was shot like a cannonball into the air, piercing through two floors of the ceiling to the 98th floor!

Then, with a thunderous explosion, the golden figure pursued!

When Ash caught up, he discovered that Silver Lamp had taken the chance to flee upwards, so he chased after her relentlessly.

Eventually, at the 90th floor, Ash felt as if he crossed an invisible Realm line, seeing Silver Lamp had also stopped at this level.

The entire space was lined with deep red grids on the walls, reminiscent of blood-red warnings, and seeming like nets waiting to ensnare.
