The Giant Star Hydra and the Bronze Behemoth merged into one, becoming the Bronze Hydra.
The Bronze Hydra had now completely transformed into a war machine, possessing immense combat power. Even Ye Ningze, a man of sharp discernment, was moved by such formidable strength. The Bronze Hydra continuously swung its nine massive heads behind Ye Ningze, and with each swing, the entire space seemed to pulsate.
Having gained such immense power, Ye Ningze naturally wished to depart this place and reunite with his people. However, he also knew that leaving now would mean missing out on crucial information. Thus, after a while, the blurred face that had appeared in the chaotic space once again materialized before Ye Ningze and the others.
Ye Ningze looked at the blurred face and spoke to it again, "It seems I have received your legacy. Can you tell me how you developed this unique method?"
The blurred face responded to Ye Ningze, "Millions of years ago, humanity faced a great crisis, and the thirteen of us were the turning point in this major catastrophe. You know that the individual you encountered possessed powerful mental strength. As for me, I have the ability to convert the power of demonic beasts into my own. The remaining eleven individuals each had their own unique skills, which I won't elaborate on for now. I believe you will soon discover their true capabilities."
After the blurred face finished speaking, Ye Ningze gained a general understanding of the world's past. They were about to face another significant crisis, but this time, the thirteen of them could no longer save the world. Since they could not save the world again, it was up to Ye Ningze to do so. After all, Ye Ningze was the only one capable of receiving the legacies of all thirteen.
And for Ye Ningze to obtain the thirteen legacies, he must have faced thirteen formidable demonic beasts. These thirteen demonic beasts would become the greatest disaster in this world. Ye Ningze understood clearly that only by combining the powers of these thirteen legacies could he effectively confront these thirteen colossal demonic beasts. However, he was unsure of their specific abilities. Thus, Ye Ningze asked the giant, blurred face before him, "By the way, you keep mentioning powerful enemies. I would like to ask what special abilities these powerful enemies possess. If we don't know their specific capabilities, we won't be able to devise a plan to deal with them."
After a long silence, the giant, blurred face finally spoke to him, "The thirteen great demonic beasts of that era were the King of the Sky, the King of the Earth, the King of the Air, the King of Ice and Snow, the King of Thunder and Lightning..."
Upon hearing their names, Ye Ningze grasped their potential powers. For instance, the so-called King of the Sky must be a colossal demonic beast capable of soaring freely through the skies. Similarly, the King of the Earth must possess the power to control the earth. If this were the case, then to deal with these beasts, they would have to fundamentally employ powers that could counter them.
Images of various demonic beasts and their specific information flashed through Ye Ningze's mind. Some of these demonic beasts possessed world-destroying power, while others ruled over countless other demonic beasts, truly earning the title of demon beast overlords. As Ye Ningze absorbed their detailed information, he finally understood why these thirteen demonic beasts were feared by all other demonic beasts, and why they so easily became the common enemy of all humanity. It was because their power was simply too terrifying, with some even exceeding human imagination.
It was precisely for this reason that Ye Ningze needed to find other ways to defeat these demonic beasts. Ye Ningze suddenly pondered a question: how were they defeated in the first place? If they were not defeated, it would imply that humanity would not have its current civilization. After a moment, Ye Ningze said to the giant, blurred face before him, "How did you defeat these thirteen demonic beasts back then? If you hadn't defeated them, we wouldn't be in our current situation."
The reality was indeed as Ye Ningze stated. Without their victory back then, there would be no Ye Ningze and no humanity as it was now. The blurred face seemed to recall something, and after a moment of silence, it said to Ye Ningze, "In truth, we did not defeat them back then; we sealed them away completely. However, our power has been weakening, and we can no longer seal them entirely. We don't know when they will completely break free from their seals."
Ye Ningze never expected that those individuals from the past were not dead but had persisted until today, becoming the current crisis for humanity. Back then, there were thirteen strong individuals who could constantly contend with them, but now there was only himself. Could he truly defeat them?
"Believe in yourself, you can defeat them. You will be far more powerful than the thirteen of us combined, because the thirteen of us could not simultaneously possess the abilities of others. But you can. Just as the individual who planted the mental seed within you earlier, and now you have received my legacy, I believe you will soon receive the legacies of others. You will become much stronger than all thirteen of us, so do not fear this."
The giant, blurred face seemed to perceive Ye Ningze's inner thoughts and doubts. That was why it spoke, to completely resolve Ye Ningze's inner uncertainties. Because of this, Ye Ningze's resolve was further strengthened. He believed, just as the giant, blurred face had said, that he would surely find a way to resolve this crisis for humanity and lead the human world towards a more prosperous and flourishing future. This is how humanity survives through repeated crises, becoming stronger each time.
