Chapter 149: Chapter 100: 1000-Hand Prosthetic - Nuonuo Form, A Letter, Dark Clouds in the History of Ruins Star_3
At this moment, Bai Hong also gathered his emotions. He still had one last thing to accomplish that the manager entrusted to him.
"Brother Su, this is a letter the manager asked me to leave for you, along with this black card." As he spoke, Bai Hong handed a letter and a small black card to Su Yu.
Then, Bai Hong stepped aside to clear the doorway and kneeled on one knee.
Bai Hong said, "Before the manager’s passing, he informed me that you would become the new manager."
"To prevent upheaval in the Sanctuary, I have withheld the news of the manager’s passing and not spread it."
"According to the letter, the manager wrote down everything he wanted to convey to you, and the black card can be used to open his secret chamber."
"The specifics should be explained in the letter. I’m here to guard this door for you."
Su Yu nodded, then helped Bai Hong up. Su Yu had long observed Bai Hong’s loyalty to the manager, so he naturally didn’t mind continuing to use Bai Hong after taking over the Sanctuary.
After all, with the manager’s instructions, Bai Hong’s loyalty could be ensured for the short term.
As for long-term loyalty, Su Yu didn’t concern himself with it.
In his view, the strength of one’s ability determines the level of a subordinate’s loyalty.
Su Yu pushed open the door and entered the manager’s room.
He opened the envelope.
"Su Yu, by the time you read this letter, I should already be dead. As for my body, I’ve already instructed Bai Hong to cremate it. The prosthetic parts and core you need are all in the secret chamber. Don’t mourn for me; I’ve lived long enough. In fact, this old man should have died long ago, back in that disaster during the fall of Dawn City."
"That was a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, this old man was in his prime..."
Su Yu reading this, felt a bit speechless.
"A hundred years ago, the manager must have been sixty-seven? Well, let’s just say in his prime then. Perhaps cyborgs are different from us."
Slightly mocking himself, Su Yu continued reading with curiosity in his heart.
He was very curious about what caused the once-powerful large settlement of Dawn City to vanish.
"Dawn City inherited the legacy and technology of the Steel Dynasty, one of the three dominant forces in Ruins Star’s history, most of which were geared towards convenience in artificial body transformation. Thus, body modification thrived in Dawn City, and the City Lord was a seven-star cyborg."
"At that time, I had just become a four-star top-tier Extraordinary Physical Body practitioner and felt my age was catching up, fearing I couldn’t continue on the Extraordinary Path. Therefore, with the merits I accumulated, I gained the chance for body transformation and met the young City Lord of Dawn City, whom I followed—Mo Rufeng. He, like you, was an Extraordinary Mechanic, particularly skilled in body modification."
"The young City Lord gave me a full-body transformation, granting me this set of Prosthetic Armor. Coupled with my physical prowess, I was able to contend with five-star Transcendents at the time, thus successfully becoming a squad leader of Dawn City’s guard and following the young City Lord, living the most glorious days of my life."
"But then..."
Su Yu saw this and knew a change was coming.
He turned to the second page of the letter.
"While inheriting the technology of the Steel Dynasty, Dawn City also inherited the Dynasty’s perpetual goal—to venture into the stars and seek traces of the once-glorious Human Empire and the remnants of human civilization."
"However, before the Steel Dynasty could achieve this goal, it perished. To avoid repeating history, the people of Dawn City began to study the civilization histories of previous ruling forces."
"The three strongest dominant forces in Ruins Star’s history were the Azure Second Empire, the Steel Dynasty, and the Ghost Empire..."
"Dawn City’s people studied these three major forces and other ruling powers that appeared before, discovering that whether it was the three major forces or other ruling powers, they suddenly perished shortly after reaching their peak."
"The scholars in Dawn City summarized this as the historical inevitability of cycles, with most people believing the same. They thought, by learning from history, Dawn City could avoid the same fate."
"However, besides this theory, there was another belief held by a few."
Su Yu’s pupils constricted upon reading this.
"That is, the demise of the three major forces was manipulated by an invisible hand, a certain power... or even a person!"
