Chapter 1440: Chapter 1010: The Fate of the Book of Heaven (4K)_2

"Half torn?" Chen Yu asked in confusion, "Have you already ripped apart the Book of Heaven?"

The Supreme King looked at Chen Yu’s face with a hint of abnormality, before responding, "After all, it’s quite useful."

The Supreme King had already made use of the Book of Heaven? But he also destroyed it?

Everyone was somewhat puzzled.

Then, he said to Li Changhe, "Don’t resist, my younger self... otherwise, I can’t move you. You’re not much lighter than Great Monarch Annihilation."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand decisively.

’Five Ghost Transport’

Li Changhe felt an increasingly strong sensation of spatial pulling, similar to teleportation.

If Li Changhe were to erupt with his divinity to resist at this moment, the teleportation would become ineffective.

This was also the main reason for the Supreme King’s reminder.

Of course, if Li Changhe were to use an Immortal Skill to teleport like the wolf-headed one did, the outcome would be different.

When the sensation of weightlessness from the teleportation disappeared, Li Changhe’s vision went dark.

He had already moved from the brightly lit meeting room in the City Lord’s Mansion to a somewhat dimmer research lab.

Clearly, this was a cabin in the Southern Heavenly Gate battleship, still undergoing repairs at the port and the Supreme King’s private retreat.

The room was filled with various books and medicines, some bamboo slips and bronze objects, and some calligraphy and paintings.

In a corner, there were several cultivation capsules.

There was a headless body of a Beastman, as well as several humanoid creatures covered in tiny scales.

Upon close observation, Li Changhe recognized them as soldiers of Annihilation. Their rank seemed quite high.

"These are Annihilation’s noble soldiers, with high status. The Void Engines are very powerful too. So, I’ve tried to dissect them to see if humans could also be equipped with Void Engines. The outcomes weren’t good, even as a Deceiver among God’s Chosen, it could take me decades or even longer to achieve this. So, for now, I’m setting that aside. As for this Beastman, he was a player... before I came to my senses, I sensed the fluctuations of an Immortal Skill. I caught him subconsciously and don’t know how I ended up killing him."

"It’s a pity, killing a player doesn’t grant you player identity," Li Changhe said.

"Yes, if I could become a player, I probably would have become an Immortal by now. This damn Evolution Game..." The Supreme King spoke with great confidence. He indeed had the capital to be confident. Now, he wasn’t far from becoming an Immortal.

Then, the Supreme King glanced at the cluttered room and said to Li Changhe, "I apologize for the mess. I was immersed in researching Immortal Skills and delving into the mysteries during that time and just piled everything up here."

"I knew you were a top student, but I didn’t expect you to study everything," Yun Ting chimed in with a tease, "Even bamboo slips."

"There’s no inheritance of Immortal Skills in this world. All I can do is to explore... deduce the possible existence of Immortal Skills among the various ancient texts, claws, and scales, and to attempt research and experimentation. All the related materials from around the world might as well be here." The Supreme King paused before saying, "Come on, if you want to see the Book of Heaven, follow me."

"What about your Transfer Skill?" Li Changhe asked, "Why not directly transfer to the destination?"

"There, I’ve personally inscribed three hundred thousand forbidden restrictions. Whether it’s Five Ghost Transport, warp, or the teleportation abilities of you players, none can directly reach that place," the Supreme King said hauntingly.

Then, he opened a concealed door on the wall.

Li Changhe followed the Supreme King through a short steel corridor, its walls lined with defense turrets and defensive runes.

They arrived in a small room.

Unlike the eerie and cluttered research lab, this small room was filled with a sense of warmth.

There was a living room, a kitchen, and exquisite furniture.

Looking at the style of the furniture, Li Changhe’s complexion turned somewhat sullen.

He naturally recognized the style of this furniture.

In the depths of the room, within the girl’s boudoir, the beloved of the Supreme King lay in slumber...

Through the door crack pushed open by the Supreme King, Li Changhe saw the beautiful girl sleeping in the Healing Capsule.

She wore a white nightgown and lay peacefully in the Healing Cabin, as if she could wake up at any moment. The truth was that she had been in deep sleep for many years.

Li Changhe let out a desolate sigh. No wonder the Supreme King had inscribed three hundred thousand protective enchantments in this room, all for the protection of the girl he loved most.

Once, he had failed to protect her. Now, he would exhaust all his strength to guard her...

Just as Li Changhe was about to step closer, the Supreme King stopped him with a cold gaze, "Do you know why I took back the Three Pure Ones?"

"...Because they each started fighting?" Li Changhe grinned, able to imagine such a scene.

If Li Changhe’s own Three Corpses manifested, they’d probably start fighting each other too.

And proclaim things like ’The girl is my wife, what are you in comparison?’

"Just know it and leave at that." The Supreme King stepped forward and came to a halt before the girl’s Healing Capsule. Gazing at the sleeping girl, he finally sighed, "She was struck by a plasma beam of Annihilation. If it weren’t for Chen Yu’s quick reaction... I have spent years researching how to treat her, how to awaken her. I even considered using the strength of the Chaos Evil God to wake her up... But the cost could very likely corrupt her with the Evil God’s influence."

The Supreme King was indeed capable of using the Evil God’s power but he alone could do so.

For the rest of humanity, using the power of the Evil God came with the risk of corruption.

Otherwise, he would have taught this power to the soldiers of the ground forces long ago. To let each one turn into a Blood River God’s Chosen charging forward, or a Deceiver God’s Chosen researching technology...

Now, he also worried that using Divinity’s power would plunge his most beloved girl into Chaos... He could not accept such an outcome.

Thus, he sought to become an Immortal, to use his own strength to awaken his lover.

"We have all-purpose medicine," Li Changhe spoke up.

"What is that?" The Supreme King frowned and asked, "Sounds like a roadside advertisement."

"A medicine that can heal any disease or injury," Li Changhe took out a red pill, "I have Molecular Self-healing and don’t need medicine much anymore. This is for you. Hopefully, it can help..."

The Supreme King took the All-purpose medicine, hesitated for a moment then asked Li Changhe to leave the room as he was going to feed the medicine to the girl.

"The Book of Heaven you’re looking for is outside, find it yourself," the Supreme King stated.

"Have you tried using the Book of Heaven’s power to treat her?" Li Changhe inquired.

"Of course, the first thing I did when I got the Book of Heaven was to open it. The Book of Heaven seemed to be guiding me. Pointing me to appear with a fleet at a certain giant city at some time, or to launch missiles in a certain direction during war."

"Did you try it?" Li Changhe prodded.

"Heh... There’s no such thing as a free lunch," the Supreme King scoffed, "A ’holy relic’ that betrayed its Holder, resulting in the Tianyan Association being entirely wiped out by us—how could I trust it?"

"It wasn’t me who found the Book of Heaven; it was the Book of Heaven that chose me. It, or rather the being behind it, led the Tianyan Association to our awareness, to our crushing victory. Ultimately, it fell into my hands, making me the Holder of the Book of Heaven in this world. A Book of Heaven that comes along just when I need help the most... Would you trust it? And if the Book of Heaven really woke her up, what would be the cost?" The Supreme King spoke in a subdued tone, "Causal consequences, causal consequences. The Book of Heaven intends to plant a cause, and to reap some kind of consequence."

"How do you resist such temptation, then? Deliberately refusing the clues from the Book of Heaven? That could also be part of the Book of Heaven’s plan."

"Therefore, at that time, I completely gave up command of the fleet. And I began to research mystery," the Supreme King responded, "The Book of Heaven, after all, is just a book. No matter what exists behind it. It is but a book. If I don’t do what it suggests, the outcome will not be as it anticipates. Of course, I still glance at it occasionally, just as a pastime..."

Li Changhe nodded slightly, affirming the Supreme King’s choice, and then left the girl’s boudoir.

At last, he found the Book of Heaven...

In the washroom inside the room.

The Book of Heaven, torn to only half its original size, lay there amongst the toilet paper...

The sacred object of the Tianyan Association had been used up halfway as toilet paper...

"No wonder... they said it worked well..."
