Translator: 549690339
[Current Location: Star of Mutation]
[Level: 1st Rank]
[Difficulty: Abyss]
[Mission: Kill the final boss: Transcender.]
[Description: Civilization has perished, everything has returned to ruin. Even the planet itself has been completely engulfed by the Roots Core, drawing out the planet’s power, absorbing the starlight, and nurturing an existence that transcends everything.
After a long period, It was born.
It is perfect, having fused all the lifeform genes on the planet, possessing endless forms to adapt to any environment.
It is lonely, having absorbed all strength, It is the only living being on the planet.
It is immortal, It will shine with the light of stars, constantly growing.
It, is undying.]
[Friendly Reminder: Free to explore, you can leave the abyss at any time (requires one minute of preparation time).]
For his first exploration of the Abyss difficulty level, Jiang Chen did not choose [Eternal Frost Magic Realm], [Machine Rampage], [Endless Demons Realm].
Instead, he returned to [Star of Mutation].
After all, since Jiang Chen had reached the 1st Rank, he had not yet enhanced his primeval mecha, having only installed a few transitional attribute modules.
He was thinking of first clearing the Abyss difficulty level to obtain some top-grade materials that no one else had gotten.
Then, he would enhance his primeval mecha, maximizing its attributes and potential.
In this case, [Star of Mutation], which had previously produced a Roots Core Module, was obviously the most suitable choice.
As for [Machine Rampage], although it could also produce materials and modules suitable for the steam mecha,
the steam mecha was still at 0th Rank, and the materials needed for sublimation and advancement were more numerous and complex.
It was far better to first enhance the primeval mecha, build up its attributes, increase its growth rate, and facilitate a quicker sweep of the Abyss difficulty level.
As for the experience gained from exploring [Machine Rampage]…
Jiang Chen would also clear its Abyss difficulty level soon, and the experience wouldn’t disappear.
Besides, the Transcender and the Uncontrollable Titan were similar, both possessing a [Core] and neither having [Enigmatic Value].
The elemental reactions and high-energy senses that Jiang Chen had diligently honed would still be effective.
“Star of Mutation was the scene of my foundational trials, there’s still a bit of sentiment for it…”
“Let’s clear its Abyss difficulty level first!”
Once again returning to the Star of Mutation.
The once light green planet was now completely wrapped in the Roots Core, with no trace of its lands or oceans visible.
In the light of the stars, half of the planet shone with a verdant glow, as if teeming with life.
The dark side of the planet, not bathed in the light of the stars, was transformed into a purple sea by the faint purple glow of the Roots Core.
Star of Mutation presented a half green, half light purple appearance.
It looked incredibly eerie.
On the green side of Star of Mutation, countless roots intertwined, extending and climbing upward.
They formed a gigantic sky-piercing plant that pierced the clouds, almost reaching outer space.
In the cold expanse, it endured the scorching light of the stars.
“Abyss difficulty level of Star of Mutation doesn’t seem to have any weak monsters anymore?”
Jiang Chen piloted his primeval mecha, hovering above the Roots Core’s ground.
Based on the experience of the ordinary difficulty level.
By now, there should have been swarms of Synthesized Mutants and even Evolvers with wings, flying over to attack him.
But now it was surprisingly quiet.
The endless vines covering the ground, their huge leaves rustling slightly, absorbing the light of the stars.
They seemed so harmless, full of vibrant life.
Clearly, just as the Abyss Rune described—
All life and power of this planet had become nourishment for the Transcender.
It was the most powerful, immortal, and lonely being.
Perhaps that was the reason.
Star of Mutation on Abyss difficulty level had no time limit to the challenge.
The mission had only one objective.
Defeat: Transcender!
“Straight to the boss fight, huh…”
Jiang Chen looked towards the world tree-like towering plant stretching into the sky not far away.
[High-Energy Vision] was triggered, vaguely seeing a high-energy lifeform releasing power wantonly.
Clearly, the Transcender was there.
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate, directly piloting the mecha and flying over to it.
Traversing the distance, piercing through the clouds, he slowed down.
In the end, he landed on a wide platform interwoven from green vines.
In the very center of the platform, a four-meter-tall green giant made entirely of the Roots Core sat quietly.
It bathed in the light of the stars, exuding surging life force.
The external scanning device quickly marked it.
[Transcender (Ultimate Manifestation)]
[Attributes: ???]
[Traits: ???]
[Weakness: ???]
[Assessment: Appears to be the true form of the Abyss overlord, fundamentally different from the Age-Old Shadow of the lower difficulty levels.]
Even the Symbol of the Alliance could not defeat the final boss of Abyss difficulty level.
Therefore, the scanning device purchased from Xuntian City could not provide attribute-related information, only some evaluations left by predecessors.
Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over it, feeling slightly puzzled.
“The true form…”
“How did the predecessors come to this conclusion?”
It was at that moment, in the center of the Roots Core platform, that the four-meter-tall giant opened its “eyelids” and looked towards him.
It didn’t launch an attack immediately but spoke calmly.
“Another challenger from another world?”
“How long has it been since the last challenger… I can barely remember.”
Jiang Chen’s confusion was resolved—
The boss of Abyss difficulty level actually retained the memories of each encounter with mecha pilots from the past!
You should know, all previous Age-Old Shadows,
whether easy, ordinary, hard, nightmare, or even hell,
