With a thunderous crash, he slammed down hard.
Clang—!
A blinding light suddenly flared.

The loud boom followed.
Clang—!!
...
Blow after blow.
Each of Arno’s strikes emitted a fierce, bright light, and the ground shook and trembled with it, as if an earthquake shook the earth, with a violent and piercing clanging humming that penetrated the darkness.
Chen Lun even felt that his soul had been pierced by the intense light and loud noise.
The succession of clanging sounds was incessant yet rhythmic, with not a millisecond off between each strike, more precise than the ticking of a clock.
A moment later.
Arno stopped the supernatural forging, and the surroundings fell back into dead silence.
“Jack, it’s done.”
A voice came.
But Chen Lun was somewhat dizzy, his ears still buzzing.
It took him dozens of seconds to regain his composure, and all he saw was Arno smiling as he handed over the Silver Staff.
“Thank you…”
His hoarse voice responded, feeling the staff become heavier in his hands.
The Silver Staff was heavier than before.
Chen Lun first glanced at Arno, who, after a round of forging, was stable and so collected that not a drop of sweat was visible.
He secretly admired the other and then lowered his head to examine his new staff.
The appearance of the staff had changed slightly.
The shaft was adorned with spiral patterns, more comfortably fitting to the touch, pointed at the tip like a spearhead, but in truth, it was a serpent’s tail.
Where the handle curved, there was now the head of a viper, eyes vivid, the whole exquisite beyond compare, like a work of art.
“This staff had several forms before, but I felt it was a bit showy and not practical.… After adding materials that fit with supernatural traits, I took the liberty of integrating its functions into a single one, focusing on its lethality.
Having seen your transformed appearance, I created it to suit your taste. I hope you like it, Jack.”
Arno explained, beaming with a brilliant smile.
“Technically, this Mysterious Object has only three forms. One is the regular staff, useful as decor, easily carried, and can serve as a bludgeoning weapon.
The second form is the Scepter Sword, which can extend its length several times unexpectedly and bend at will, just as its appearance suggests. This form could well be nicknamed ‘Serpent Sword.’
The third form is a greatsword, which is the true form of the staff; it isn’t just extremely heavy but can also carry and absorb a vast amount of Supernatural Power… like the Supernatural Flame released from your gloves, enabling it to become a flaming greatsword.
Moreover, this ultimate form of the greatsword can temporarily integrate various Supernatural Powers. It’s up to you to study it in the future.”
Chen Lun caressed the Silver Staff in his hands, finding it hard to put down.
[Grade B Mysterious Object—Galaxy Anthem]
Its grade had been raised, and its name and effects had changed, but the cost remained the same.
Chen Lun credited this outcome to Arno’s unfathomable abilities.
He took his hat off, about to bow to Arno, but then remembering that the other seemed to dislike such formality, which created a barrier between them, he smiled and said:
“Thank you, Arno. Let me buy you a drink.”
As he spoke, he brought out two tall glasses and a bottle of Supernatural Wine.
A glint of joy flashed through Arno’s sapphire-like eyes as he smiled and accepted the glass.
Chen Lun poured a glass for Arno, and then to Arno’s surprised expression, poured himself a glass of milk.

Sitting with their drinks, they ate roast meat and chatted merrily away.
Most of the time, it was Chen Lun sharing stories of the modern world with Arno, as well as amusing anecdotes about their Circus mates. Arno listened intently, his eyes full of longing not the least bit concealed.
It seemed Chen Lun had also forgotten the countdown, casting aside his worries and finding a brief peace of mind. This relaxed state made his thoughts flow more smoothly, and he soon thought of something.
“Arno, do you have a sister?”
Chen Lun bit into his roasted meat, his mouth dripping with oil, as he asked aloud.
“A sister…?”
Arno looked puzzled, his gaze filled with confusion.
“I don’t remember having a sister.”
“Just a moment, Arno.”
Chen Lun placed his roasted meat above the campfire and then went inside the house. He returned shortly, holding a dirty doll in his hands.
He handed the doll to Arno.
“Anna…”
As Arno looked at the writing on the back of the doll, he was suddenly taken aback.
“I… I remember some things now! Anna, my sister!”
His expression softened greatly at once.
“Jack, what year is it now in the Solar Calendar?”
“4419.”
Seeing Arno recovering part of his memory filled Chen Lun with anticipation, and he promptly spoke with emphasis.
“So… it has been that many years already.”
Arno remarked with a sense of loss in his voice as he stared at the doll in his hand.
“Anna must have grown up by now, pity I won’t see her again.”
He turned to look at Chen Lun, showing a smile.
“Jack, I can help you return to the modern world… Follow me.”
With that, Arno picked up his lantern and rose to his feet.
Chen Lun silently followed him, leaving the campfire, heading towards the darkness behind the cabin.
A moment later.
As they delved into the darkness, Arno suddenly halted his footsteps; right in front of him was a pitch-black well.
“This well was left by Philip, and the cabin was built for me by his lover Maggie… but in truth, the Immortal Realm is just a replica, a fictitious world, and the real me might have died in the outside world… after so many years, even I would eventually be consumed by darkness…”
