Chapter 929: Chapter 695: The World After the Fifth Tier_2
“What luck are you talking about…”
Roger’s expression turned peculiar.
“I’ve changed my mind. I’ll tell you my core construct. In exchange, after all this is over, I hope you can help obtain a powerful fragnt.”
“To make up for the eye I’ve lost.”
Roger knew exactly which eye Sonia was referring to—the Eye of Truth.
Previously, he hadn’t thought much about it, but during the Hunter’s Cabin’s construction, the Lantern ford by the Eye of Truth turned out to be on the sa tier as the Shadow Gate.
The two might have so differences, but their unity in quality revealed much.
The eye Sonia lost was even more precious than Roger had imagined.
“What did you say?”
Unable to ignore it, Roger stepped forward and asked urgently.
“It’s simple.” Amanda shrugged. “I just laid out so truths for her, and then she chose to trust .”
“After all, we’re passengers on the sa boat.”
“If we don’t help each other, none of us might be able to leave safely.”
Roger looked skeptical. Things couldn’t possibly be as simple as Amanda claid.
Even without options, even if a way out was needed,
Sonia would never hand over her core construct so easily.
Unless it was the last mont—no one would willingly let another person control everything about them.
“What did she say to you?”
Roger turned to look at Sonia, his gaze carrying a subtle hint of threat. He couldn’t help but overthink.
“Relax. Trust . For now, nothing has happened. We trust one another and fulfill our respective roles. I believe in the near future, we’ll have more opportunities for collaboration.”
“After all, in the Transcendent World, companions you can entrust your life to are far too rare.”
“Let’s cherish each other.”
Sonia said thoughtfully. Though she was looking at Roger, Amanda’s face flashed in her mind alongside unforgettable words.
“From the first mont we t until now, Roger has done so much for . So, even if I die, I won’t allow anything bad to happen to him…”
“I know you can’t fully trust him yet. Once he has control of your core construct, then in exchange, stake my soul. Use it as collateral…”
Sonia also understood she didn’t have many options, but without offering sothing of equal value, she could never be at peace.
Amanda nodded toward Sonia. She understood Roger’s character and recognized her own choice. Deep down, she had already decided.
“If there’s truly no way out…”
“Then I’ll die before dragging Roger into it.”
The situation hadn’t completely spiraled out of control yet. Amanda felt that, at least until they reached their destination, she should place unconditional trust in Roger.
Honestly, even though Sonia was willing to compromise, the current situation wasn’t what Roger wanted. He sowhat regretted agreeing to their requests earlier.
“If you need the so-called World Fragnt, I can return the Eye of Truth to you.”
Without hesitation, Roger spoke.
Though the Eye of Truth was precious, how could such a thing compare to Amanda’s safety? He now even felt a slight irritation.
“That eye has already beco a part of you, imprinted with your unique mark.” Sonia shook her head.
“It’s so strange—you’re clearly not even at the Fifth Tier, and yet you seem to wield the hidden power within.”
“Even if you remove it, I wouldn’t be able to use it again. We’re different. In the past, I only had the right to use the Eye of Truth and couldn’t fully transform it.”
“It was because of this limitation that Hillrenes targeted .”
“Since we’re on this topic, let explain briefly.”
Sonia’s tone softened. She detected a trace of hidden emotion in Roger’s reaction, and from his attitude toward Amanda, Sonia could infer certain traits about Roger’s character.
If soone like him could truly beco a companion, one could safely entrust their back to him.
“The World Fragnts we refer to encompass a broad category. The main thods of obtaining them are as follows.”
“The first category is certain powerful treasures. This should be straightforward to understand—like the legendary weapons or special artifacts in mythic tales.”
“These items are not man-made but naturally ford during the world’s creation and operation. Generally speaking, these are our primary targets.”
“Even if so treasures aren’t particularly powerful, their unique capabilities can be extracted through proprietary thods, yielding the faintest glimrs of brilliance.”
“When brilliance of the sa type is gathered and refined, it forms the World Fragnts we need.”
“Whether it’s the Advent of body or consciousness, due to power restrictions, collecting treasures, extracting brilliance, and converting it remains one of the most essential approaches.”
“The second thod is self-cultivation, as I ntioned to you before.”
Noticing Roger’s furrowed brows relax slightly, Sonia silently breathed a sigh of relief.
“We are suppressed by the world’s rules, but the longer we stay here, as the sa rules rge, our bodies will transform. If we align with this world’s Transcendent System…”
“We can also gain unique rewards during growth.”
“By adapting, mastering, and gradually condensing.”
“The ultimate goal is to acquire strength and the rules contained within that strength, ultimately leading to fragnts.”
“Then there’s the third thod. Among Fifth Tier Transcendents, there’s a group of fanatics who obsessively advocate for this approach—crazed killers who plunder special Life Essence to refine it.”
Sonia sighed. “Frankly, this thod involves the highest risk and is the most likely to spark conflict.”
“But at the sa ti, it’s also the fastest way. Hillrenes is a staunch advocate of this thod.”
“Lastly, we have the converted forms of those unique Rule Fragnts.” Sonia glanced at Roger. “Like the Eye of Truth.”
“Born from the world’s crevices, such entities are exceptionally powerful and prone to drawing unwanted attention. Once we return, do not ntion the Eye of Truth to anyone.”
“Even after many years, it could easily spark disputes again.”
Sonia warned.
Roger nodded. In their current world, the Energy Level was too low to naturally produce Fifth Tier Transcendents, so the approach they used could be considered an alternate path.
It was unclear whether this thod had been developed independently by local Transcendents or borrowed from other Low-Tier worlds.
Generally speaking, high Energy Level worlds tend to have faster ti flow. Although Erode’s Energy Level was higher, its developnt ti wasn’t long.
The number of Fifth Tier Transcendents was extrely limited—even if others besides Heyman were hidden, the exact number wouldn’t be large.
For ordinary Transcendents, this was nearly an ideal starting point—a once-in-a-century rarity.
High-Tier World, Low-End Combat Strength.
If ti and preparation permitted, unimaginable benefits could be harvested in this world!
“Rest assured, I will fulfill my promise to you. I can’t guarantee providing a fragnt as powerful as the Eye of Truth, but I’ll try my best.”
Roger made his commitnt.
“Your word is enough.”
Sonia nodded.
“In truth, the Eye of Truth doesn’t perfectly align with my developntal path. Nevertheless, no one would abandon a fragnt of this tier—people would rather alter themselves to obtain it.”
“You might not fully understand, but beyond the Fifth Tier, the world isn’t just about power incrents.”
“Based on the number of fused fragnts, it’s roughly divided into stages.”
“One, Three, Five.”
“That’s as much as I currently know.”
“Newly ascended Fifth Tier Transcendents lack corresponding Rule Fragnts. However, due to the ascension in Vitality, they wield overwhelming power over anything below the Fifth Tier.”
“Typically, Transcendents at this stage are the most nurous—but also face the highest mortality rates, as countless accidents occur when obtaining World Fragnts.”
“Only upon fusing the first fragnt does one truly open the door to the Fifth Tier. From there, progressing step by step through further fusion…”
“When three fragnts are fused, the first qualitative transformation occurs!”
“Different combinations of fragnts create new abilities. Only upon reaching this stage can one dissolve existing fragnts, subsequently choosing anew for greater power.”
“Sounds fascinating.”
Roger grew interested, recalling the newly ford Hunter’s Cabin in his mind.
Could it be that he already possessed two fragnts? Would acquiring just one more be enough to…
Wait a second. Roger suddenly realized he wasn’t yet a Fifth Tier Transcendent. In that case, what did the door and lantern inside the cabin count as?
