The speed of the unknown ceramic shards was as fast as lightning; Zhou Heng had no time to react before he saw it transform into a stream of light, rushing to the position of the holy sword's hilt and accurately embedding itself.
【You have recovered the holy sword fragment】
【Sacaste Emperor Sword Repair Progress: 1/10000】
"The holy sword is actually the Sacaste Emperor Sword?"
"That's a surprising piece of news."
Watching the changes before his eyes, Zhou Heng muttered thoughtfully.
At this moment, a light and soft voice came from beside him.
"The Sacaste Emperor Sword is a killing sword forged by Sakast Emperor 'Nalun Sacarste' through the blood sacrifice of 900 billion humans."
"If following the original progress, this killing sword would only need to blood sacrifice another 100 billion humans to be complete, capable of cleaving open the Ancient Years and leading the Sacarste Empire into the distance."
"It's just a pity, I... didn't know, and made a big mistake."
Zhou Heng's gaze narrowed, and he looked to his left following the sound.
It was an illusory light and shadow, almost too faint to make out a form, only barely discernible as a woman.
"Kid, what's your name?"
Seeing Zhou Heng look over, the light and shadow said with a light chuckle.
"Zhou Heng, Zhou of completeness, Heng of eternity."
"A good name. Let me introduce myself, Hero King Karenna."
Although Zhou Heng had some vague guesses, hearing the title truly surprised him, and he couldn't help but say, "Greetings, Hero King."
【You have witnessed the Hero of the Years, Karenna, in the Boundless Star Sea】
【Attack permanently +50】
【Health permanently +500】
【Mana permanently +500】
Looking at his suddenly soaring attributes, Zhou Heng couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
No wonder textbooks mentioned that if possible, one should try their best to seek out some Ancient epics and figures.
Could it be that just meeting them could permanently increase attributes?
"No need to be surprised, it's only a few hundred points of attributes. For those Chang Sheng Family who hold vast resources, it's not a surprising matter."
"It's just a pity that now I only have this much power left. If I were to regain my glory, seeing me would boost your attributes by at least 100,000."
Hero King Karenna seemed to be talking to Zhou Heng, but in reality, she was lamenting her own state.
As she spoke, she looked towards the holy sword at the end of the Boundless Star Sea.
"Zhou Heng, I will entrust these two things to you!"
"Your Destiny, your future, are all in your hands."
"Whether you forge a path out of this despair, or are ultimately swallowed by the Chang Sheng Family and become a stepping stone on their path to success, depends on yourself."
After Hero King Karenna finished speaking, her illusory figure dispersed, transforming into a stream of light that surged into Zhou Heng's brow.

Looking at the Sacaste Emperor Sword (Holy Sword) that had disappeared at the end of the Boundless Star Sea and now appeared in his hand, Zhou Heng truly hadn't reacted.
He had only made a Destiny choice, yet he had received such terrifying gains.
Not only did he come into contact with the true truth of the Sacarste Empire in the Boundless and Endless World, but he also obtained Hero King Karenna's Holy Sword.
If he still couldn't take off with this, he would feel he didn't deserve such a start.
"Killing for protection?"
Recalling the content recorded in the hidden chapter "true years", Zhou Heng felt that the history lessons he had learned in school in this life were for naught.
Who would have thought that the official history of the Ancient Years written in textbooks would have such internal secrets?
As the Sacaste Emperor Sword (Holy Sword) completely solidified in his hand, a sword sheath suddenly appeared at his waist.
Zhou Heng put the Sacaste Emperor Sword (Holy Sword) into the sheath and quickly left this mysterious space.
He didn't want other members of the Sword of Light to come in later, find their holy sword missing, and be unable to explain when questioned.
As for why he didn't choose to reveal his identity and take charge of the Sword of Light with the Sacaste Emperor Sword (Holy Sword), Zhou Heng's idea was simple: he couldn't be sure if the current Sword of Light truly held hope.
Perhaps the Sword of Light was also being kept in the dark.
Even more conspiratorially, perhaps the Sword of Light had long been controlled by the Chang Sheng Family and the original powerful families of the Sacarste Empire.
Zhou Heng's guess was not unfounded; otherwise, why didn't Hero King Karenna appear when the Old Woman was present, but only after she left?
One should know that with Hero King Karenna's status in the hearts of the Sword of Light, if she appeared in front of the Old Woman, there would be at least a 90% chance that they would directly pledge allegiance to him.
At that time, with the help of that mysterious Old Woman, he could definitely quickly complete the initial accumulation from nothing.
Clearly, Hero King Karenna not appearing must have been due to some kind of concern.
Leaving the Boundless Star Sea and returning to the alley in Little Bird Town, the sky had already slightly brightened.
Zhou Heng didn't dare to linger. Taking advantage of the early morning light, he left Little Bird Town early and headed towards the Wind's Grassland.
He definitely couldn't kill Wind Sheep. Although they gave experience, they couldn't trigger the effect of the Sacaste Emperor Sword (Holy Sword).
In other words, he had to find and kill level 10 wild monsters.
The only area outside Little Bird Town with level 10 monsters was the Deep Water Cave.
Although there was a high probability of encountering players from the Black Bear Guild there, there was still a day before the Black Bear Guild made their move, so he still had enough time to farm some attack and health.
As long as he increased his attack power and health, he wouldn't be completely defenseless against the Black Bear Guild's bounty.
