I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

[GOD-542·Forgotten Greatsword].

This is a rather special Divine Relic... Although almost every Divine Relic can be considered special, the uniqueness of the Forgotten Greatsword still ranks quite high among them.

Because, it is one of the few relics that humans haven't figured out its abilities to this day.

The reason is simple, because it was 'forgotten'.

According to the records in the Divine Relic database, GOD-542 had some kind of power in the distant past, but after that power was used, it was lost, and at the same time, everyone forgot what that power was and what its original name had been. Even all records related to it disappeared, whether they were written on paper or stored online.

Even the records of where the information vanished could not be traced back as if the world had activated some kind of repair program that automatically corrected everything related to it, filling in all the gaps.

The evidence is that its original Divine Relic serial number ranking had vanished... there were no gaps from GOD-001 to GOD-541.

If there are no flaws like this, then why is the Forgotten Greatsword identified as a 'forgotten Divine Relic' rather than a 'newly emerged Divine Relic'?

The database records it as follows:

[...At that time, on the battlefield of ■■■■, faced with the newly discovered object ■■■ spoke of, countless warriors suddenly extended their hands, all pointing at its ancient blade submerged in the ground, and in unison they said: It has been here, it existed, it is an old friend of mine, our comrade-in-arms.]

[...Afterwards, all the warriors forgot the words they had just spoken, and that scene might have been the warriors' final stubborn resistance to some kind of 'corrective force', or perhaps just a collective prank on a whim... Regardless, the only record suggestive of GOD-542's past existence, I solely chronicle here]

"..." Xue Jing gently stroked the ancient blade of the Forgotten Greatsword.

Its body, larger than a door panel, was dotted with inconspicuous rust and nicks.

Its edge was not sharp, quite blunt, in fact; strictly speaking, it should not be called a sword but rather a large iron chunk resembling a sword.

The sword was two meters three in length, with a guard nearly forty centimeters wide, and a hilt of about fifty centimeters. The whole sword gave off the impression of an old general whose time was waning, but whose remaining prestige still emanated a dangerous majesty.

"Weighing over two thousand kilograms, using this thing to chop someone is clearly overkill. If it has a purpose for which it was created, then it must be for slaying non-human entities," Xue Jing exclaimed.

The Forgotten Greatsword had no abilities, but the five essential characteristics that Divine Relics should have were all present, which was also why it was confirmed as a Divine Relic.

It had transfer nature, meaning even if shattered, it would reappear and even had side effects.

Its side effect was quite peculiar.

When the user holds the Forgotten Greatsword, their jumping height is halved.

Simply put, if a person could normally jump fifty meters, holding the Forgotten Greatsword would reduce it to twenty-five meters.

This reduction in height is only related to the height of the jump and has nothing to do with other factors like strength, gravity, or air resistance.

Seeing how much Xue Jing seemed to appreciate it, Ning Yuantai scratched his head in confusion:

"Who exactly sent this thing over?"

"It seems rather pointless... It's too heavy. Even for you, it should be quite difficult to use it right now," Ning Yuantai said.

Xue Jing hummed a response, then spoke, "That's hard to say..."

He held the giant sword in one hand and swung it violently to the side.

"Whoosh——"

A strong whooshing of wind, Ning Yuantai's hair immediately started dancing wildly behind him as if it would fly off his scalp at any moment, his facial skin got pushed back by the current of the sword's swing, creating ripples, and his eyes squinted slightly because of the strong gust.

"Hiss—damn, if someone got hit by that, it wouldn't be a joke," Ning Yuantai gasped.

Xue Jing felt the weight of the giant sword as he swung it with one hand, for the first time since he started martial arts practice, he felt strain with a weapon.

Generally, a weapon's weight should be kept at around one percent of the user's limit of Qi Force to fully control and swing it with ease.

But the weight of this giant sword had reached about one seventh of his base Qi Force limit.

This is like an ordinary person swinging something close to forty kilograms... at that weight, one would be doing well just to swing it, and if held in one hand, there was even a risk of dislocating a wrist.

Xue Jing could channel energy to enhance his strength, and his own physical strength was extremely high, so he was not the same as an ordinary person. To say whether he could use the giant sword, indeed he could.

However, he could not perfectly control a weight of this level, so there would invariably be many flaws in its use.

It would be fine in an overwhelming situation; a sweep of the sword blade would scatter the weak, and the concept of "one strength subdues a hundred techniques" would render any flaws irrelevant. But when facing a martial artist of the same level, these flaws could be fatal.

So what was the intent of the 'Noble Person' who sent the giant sword to him? Was it because they knew he liked Divine Relics and thus sent a gift to befriend him? Or were they trying to hint at something?

Xue Jing's gaze grew contemplative.

At that moment, a notification popped up on the panel; Xue Jing closed it and shook his head.

Regardless, receiving a Divine Relic is always good, and such an 'Exotic Weapon' would undoubtedly benefit his 'Path of All Weapons Mastery'. He might as well use it for now.
