The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

He was drawn by the tremor of the Heaven-Reaching Platform, sparked by the Civilization Fragment, yet it did not match the initial moment. At that time, he thought that this corridor might continue to extend, maybe even reaching deeper parts of the Miracle Corridor.

Now, this newly extended hundred-meter corridor confirmed his speculation.

With thoughts flashing, Qin Jin maintained the Thunder Prison as he stepped into the dilapidated corridor shrouded in red mist.

As he took a step in, unimpeded, his mind raced.

"This part of the corridor should already be within a light cluster of the Sixth-level Region."

"Now that I’ve entered here, I haven’t encountered any obstacles."

Qin Jin’s thoughts gradually became clear: "Perhaps because this corridor’s test is not solely related to strength, some Extraordinary individuals might use other means to pass the test."

His thinking became completely clear.

After officially starting this time, the content of the gates in different areas of the Miracle Corridor changed, but despite the changes, they still heavily relied on one’s strength.

However, within the Miracle Corridor, some opportunities may test not just strength, perhaps talent or compatibility, hence such opportunity tests emerge, involving multiple regions. As long as the test is passed, rewards from higher-level regions can be obtained without venturing into subsequent regions.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin suddenly understood.

With red mist all around, he walked through this ruined corridor, stepping forward.

"This corridor seems to hold deeper meaning."

While the Enlightenment Treasure Skill was subtly performed, Qin Jin organized everything, gradually understanding in his heart: "The initial ancient and archaic stage might imply civilizations yet to be enlightened, adhering to ancient ways. Those whispers felt like shackles hindering civilization’s progress until guided by a ’candlelight’ to break the old ways."

"Just like the Starfire Federation’s first step into the galaxy."

"The middle stage seemed like a civilization at its peak, outwardly glamorous but inwardly turbulent, a fate unavoidable by most except a few with unique systems."

"So now, this third stage..."

"Does it signify the complete annihilation of civilization?"

"This clearly is a civilization corridor."

As he walked, Qin Jin observed everything around, gaining understanding.

There were no attacks, no hidden tactics, everything seemed to return to calm.

Until, after a dozen breaths, he reached the latter part of the corridor.

It felt like crossing a certain warning line, and in an instant, everything around seemed to freeze. The red mist surged, gathering wildly in the sky, forming a symbol in an instant.

Accurately speaking, it was a character.

It was a character Qin Jin had never seen before, but the past gift from Your Excellency the Observer allowed him to directly confront the special abilities of a divine body, which took effect at that moment, enabling him to recognize the meaning of this character.

It was a...

[Perish] character.

As the character formed, Qin Jin clearly sensed transmission ripples emerging around him, also spontaneously arising within this space.

This seemed to be a built-in protective measure of the test here.

When confirming the tester cannot complete the final step, they would be directly teleported away to avoid perishing here.

Everything happened in an instant, and as the [Perish] character solidified, Qin Jin sensed the crisis and had already fully exerted himself. The shadow of the Grotto Heaven faintly appeared, the Thunder Prison rapidly expanded, and thunder poured out, surging and shining.

He looked up at the sky’s character, eyes steady, silently contemplating in his heart.

"Could this be..."

"Civilization’s Last Words?"
