Run! If you die at his hands, you'll lose everything!

Chapter 406 The Moment of Birth, The Correct Path!

Ye Xuan was taken to another area, but the pale walls and various high-tech instruments remained unchanged.

The mechanical body was equipped with a large number of high-dimensional weapons, and Ye Xuan became more and more proficient in mastering this body.

Everything came to a perfect end after the energy core was implanted.

Judging from both his appearance and life force, Ye Xuan now looks exactly like a member of the mechanical race.

But Ye Xuan had a very subtle feeling, as if there was another soul in this body.

Another newborn, innocent soul.

There is no emotion involved, only the instinct to obey after being brainwashed.

"This must have been the state the inheritor was in back then."

Ye Xuan didn't know what kind of soul technology this was, but it felt like he was possessing someone else.

Just as Ye Xuan was preparing to explore the base thoroughly, everything vanished like a dream.

What appeared before me was a pale passageway, with nothing but white walls in sight.

Congratulations on collecting your first memory fragment – ​​The Moment of Birth!

A metal fragment appeared in Ye Xuan's hand. Looking at the maze-like passages around him, Ye Xuan was momentarily at a loss as to which way to go.

The so-called memory maze is just like a regular maze; you have to find the exit.

"This first fragment should be obtainable once self-awareness is awakened."

"We'll probably have to start by finding the remaining fragments within this maze."

Those who entered the second area with Ye Xuan were all top-tier players from the Dragon Kingdom's official team. Although their soul attributes weren't as monstrous as Ye Xuan's, they should all be able to obtain fragments of the Moment of Birth.

At most, it just takes him a little more time than Ye Xuan.

As long as your soul attribute exceeds 100 points, you can successfully obtain the first memory fragment.

Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised to see the notification from Mechanical Heart.

Such low requirements?

It should be noted that the initial soul attribute of a human is 100 points.

Does that mean any human who enters the memory labyrinth can obtain the first fragment?

Even if you get it, it's useless; there are no rewards.

Ye Xuan chuckled upon seeing this, realizing it made sense.

It doesn't matter who takes it, since there's no reward at all.

There were only two maze passages in front of Ye Xuan, one to the left and one to the right. He randomly chose one to enter.

"Why is this still a mechanical body? Am I a machine or a human now?"

It wasn't until he started walking that Ye Xuan realized that his current body was the mechanical body that had just been assembled in the base.

Electronic laser eyes, laser weapons, thermal imaging, radar detection...

Ye Xuan's body possesses almost everything that is advantageous in battle.

"Never mind, let's go collect all the fragments first."

Anyway, Ye Xuan had a substitute body provided by the power of Blue Star, and with his high skills and great courage, he strode forward.

He soon arrived at another fork in the road, and Ye Xuan randomly chose one again.

But this time was different from before. As soon as Ye Xuan stepped into this passage, the scene around him changed.

"Is this the next fragment of memory?"

Before Ye Xuan could react, countless bullets flashing blue light had already shot over.

The same feeling as before appeared. Although Ye Xuan was controlling this body, it was as if he was standing from the perspective of an observer.

Moreover, this body has no special talents, so Ye Xuan finds it very difficult to use.

This place looks like a training ground, with various long-range weapons constantly firing at it, and melee robots coming up for close combat.

Ye Xuan's newly manufactured mechanical body was quickly smashed to pieces.

However, he keenly noticed that the flames inside the dark red crystal seemed to be burning even brighter.

What followed was the familiar feeling again: endless, repetitive training, with the mechanical body constantly being replaced and repaired.

Just as Ye Xuan was able to sweep through the training ground unscathed, the scene dissipated, and he returned to the maze.

"What about the fragments of memory?"

But just when Ye Xuan thought he could obtain the second memory fragment, nothing appeared.

Only moments that the inheritor deems the most crucial in their life will form fragments of memory.

Looking at the answer given by the Mechanical Heart, Ye Xuan began to understand what this so-called memory maze was all about.

If he doesn't find the right route, then these memories he experienced will be meaningless.

On the contrary, due to the special nature of the mechanical race, these experiences often require a lot of time to exit.

Moreover, Ye Xuan estimated that the difficulties would go far beyond this.

The more time spent in memory scenes, the more soul power is depleted.

If one does not exit the memory labyrinth before their soul power is exhausted, they will be trapped in the memory scenes and never be able to awaken.

This so-called inability to awaken is definitely not just a simple matter of affecting the game character; it most likely directly affects the player's physical body.

Ye Xuan wasn't sure if he could choose to withdraw directly from this assessment, but given the current strength of his soul power...

If even he can't get through this maze of memories, then no one else can either.

Ye Xuan wasn't in a hurry, even though he hadn't yet found the correct route through the maze.

Anyway, he was very interested in the memories of the inheritors, so he decided to experience a few more scenes first.

As the number of branching paths and passages increased, the memory scenes Ye Xuan experienced also became more and more abundant.

However, all the scenes seem to exist within that base.

"The Machine Race is indeed blessed with unique advantages."

The more Ye Xuan learned, the more he marveled at the power of the mechanical race.

All kinds of knowledge and skills can be directly absorbed and mastered with a single click.

Although combat training is conducted, it is actually to refine the body and find the most suitable combat strategy for oneself.

As for the so-called combat skills, it's still all about one-hit kill.

What Ye Xuan found very regrettable was that the mechanical race seemed to lack talent.

Although they are also recognized as alternative life forms, they have absolutely no emotions.

They are good at researching technology, dividing tasks and cooperating, and innovating.

But it still seems to fall within the realm of machines.

It's less like life and more like a brain or AI.

"It's time to take the correct route."

With the help of the Mechanical Heart, Ye Xuan perfectly recreated the route he had taken.

He discovered that these passages resembled the mechanical component manufacturing factories recorded in the fragments of the First Moment.

So Ye Xuan returned to the first fork in the road and began to choose a route following the direction of the conveyor belt in his memory.

After passing several intersections, we arrived at the place where the final energy core injection was completed, as recorded in the fragments of memory.

pat!

"It's definitely different now."

As Ye Xuan stepped out, a completely new memory scene appeared.

This time, there were no more white walls, no more training grounds, and no more mechanical component factories.

What Ye Xuan saw was a clear blue sky, a clear lake, and all sorts of scenery he had never seen before.

A very strange feeling seemed to rise from within me.

Before he could even process it properly, the receiver had already received instructions from the upper echelons of the machine race.

"521, your current location is about to be invaded by alien races."

"Hold the enemy back with all your might until reinforcements arrive."

"No matter the cost, we will not allow any member of any other race to cross the border."

In Ye Xuan's field of vision, there was a transparent ripple barrier a hundred meters behind him, which should be the so-called border line.

Noisy!Noisy!Noisy!

As soon as the command was given, numerous tiny figures appeared in the sky.
