"I remember now..."

"No wonder it feels so familiar."

Lin Feng's lips twitched:

"What are you remembering? Don't speak in riddles."

Zong Shiyue sighed softly and then looked at Lin Feng:

"Don't you think it's familiar? He was your firearms superpower ancestor, the first Tier Three King to prove his path with guns..."

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed in shock:

"Firearms superpower can actually lead to an evolution path?"

Previously, Lin Feng always believed that Special Class superpowers were hard to advance due to the limited research progress and results caused by the small sample size.

For instance, a firearms superpower at Tier Two Middle and Early Stages can already possess the combat strength comparable to Early Tier Three. If one advanced to Tier Three and became a powerful Gun King, wouldn't they overpower other Tier Three Kings, truly invincible at the same level!

So if a Tier Three Gun King were to be born, they would have long been famous in the wasteland. How could there be no news at all?

When Lin Feng raised his doubt, Zong Shiyue smiled and responded:

"Because in the era of great contention back then, those who survived might not have been the strongest, but certainly were the most cunning, mastering the art of concealment and endurance to survive until the end."

"As the strongest class of offensive superpowers, firearms superpowers could easily challenge higher levels before reaching Tier Three and could challenge multiple peers upon advancing to Tier Three."

"Back in those days, that Gun King successfully transformed amidst the flames of war, becoming incredibly prominent and unrivaled."

"But his ability to overpower peers, to challenge five or ten Tier Three Kings, was useless against twenty, thirty, or even hundreds of Tier Three Kings."

"He could have become a god, but he died due to blind arrogance, becoming a thorn in everyone's side. Naturally, he wouldn't have a chance to survive."

Lin Feng took a deep breath. So, the faintly radiating artillery shell in his hand was a relic of the Gun King.

"If firearms superpower users could advance to Tier Three, then why haven't there been any second successions, and the presence of the Gun King became a taboo..."

"The slayed first Gun King, his residual Tier Three Source Material should have been preserved as a Tier Three King's material."

"With its value and utility, it's unlikely to have been lost after that, right?"

Zong Shiyue nodded and slowly started speaking:

"Over thirty Tier Three Kings were mobilized to hunt the Gun King, including six Mid-Tier Three and two Late-stage Tier Three Celestial Kings."

"Among them were half from the Beast Race Kings."

"At the time, newly advanced into Mid-Tier Three, only at Level 34, the Gun King could directly confront six Mid-stage Beings. Were it not for the two Celestial Kings taking action, history might have truly birthed a great gun god above Tier Three..."

"That battle took place in Central and Western Asia. I wasn't involved, only heard of its ferocity, melting a huge desert area into the Land of Black Crystal."

"Molten rock cooled into a vast Obsidian Region, devoid of life, resembling the Hell Demon Kingdom."

"This formidable Gun King was also called the Gun Demon by later generations, rising in short years to kill countless Mutated Beasts and, over disagreements, destroyed human bases with gunfire, killing millions of already sparse disaster survivors."

"After the Gun Demon's death, the two Celestial Kings divided his Tier Three Source Material."

"These two Celestial Kings, one from humans and the other from evolutionary beasts, possessed only half the source material, unable to birth a true new Gun King, only capable of absorbing and drawing from it at Tier Three or cultivating multiple firearms superpower users, in hopes that one day a new King might emerge among them."

Speaking of this, Zong Shiyue's tone changed:

"But back then, everyone hoped to quickly unravel the Tier Three evolution pattern and future direction, and as the Gun King was among the best of Tier Three Kings, the Tier Three Source Material was used for experimental research."

"Rumor has it that the Evolution Alliance's top management specifically established a research project called the Agency Plan, intending to explore the evolution paths of Tier Three and above through artificial cultivation..."

"They used Tier Three Cells to generate Artificial People."

"These research outcomes would take over Earth's management during the Dormant Phase of the top management as part of the Wandering Earth Project and handle various crises along the way."

"I wasn't qualified to participate in the Agency Plan, only knowing the research results opened a new path for evolution above Tier Three, with these agents possessing the power of Tier Three Kings to help humans sustain existence."

"So the Tier Three Source Material in the Gun King's body posthumously was utilized as raw material for the Agency Plan."

"Thousands of years ago, it was rumored that agents carrying the Gun King's Source Material were still active in the wasteland."

"But as the Wandering Earth Project broke down and Earth mistakenly entered the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, the agents gradually faded away into the wasteland."

"I estimate, back then, Earth must have encountered a major crisis, like an extraterrestrial invasion or an asteroid impact, causing many Tier Three agents to fall tragically to respond..."

"After that crisis, today's wasteland was born."

Zong Shiyue finished speaking, and Lin Feng was dumbfounded for a long while.

Unexpectedly, such a small radiating shell could unravel so many prehistoric secrets, although Lin Feng was from that era too...

Yet, with only a Mid-Stage Enhancement, the things he saw and the vision he possessed were worlds apart from those exalted Tier Three Kings!
