Chapter 165: The Sacred Knowledge Vault

Ye Xuan looked at Zhi Xin’s earnest yet puzzled expression and finally sighed, shaking his head:

“Forget it, do as you like.”

Zhi Xin nodded, agreeing with Ye Xuan’s earlier conclusion.

She had also considered the possibility of parallel universes, but the Angel Civilization did not endorse them, so she had never deeply pondered it.

Though somewhat disappointed, she felt joyful at the thought that if Yan-jie and the others could one day descend to this world.

At least in a different world, they would no longer meet the fates written in their original stories.

But when they finally descended, this world would likely be filled with many powerful beings; even the Angel Civilization’s strength could not suppress everything as it did in the known universe.

Maintaining justice and order would be difficult.

And she did not know whether the Sacred Knowledge Vault would descend along with them—if it didn’t, they would be at a severe disadvantage.

The Sacred Knowledge Vault was a celestial computer modeled after the Great Clock, capable of simulating the operation and evolution of the known universe, containing all of the Angel Civilization’s cutting-edge scientific technologies and relevant data from all major civilizations in the known universe—a vast database.

In addition, the Sacred Knowledge Vault could draw nuclear energy from nearby stars by harnessing dark energy to power its celestial computer, functioning as a quantum computer capable of quantum analysis and parallel multi-path computation, while also possessing simulation computing capabilities.

With stellar-level energy support, it could easily and precisely calculate and simulate the development of a civilization within a galaxy, observe history, know the past, and predict the future.

It was the second-most advanced celestial computer after the Great Clock, capable of quantum analysis to compute all data of “planets” and even “stars,” map the cosmic star chart, and construct Great Wormholes.

Without the Sacred Knowledge Vault, their combat power would drop by at least thirty percent, and the impact extended far beyond mere combat ability.

Rebuilding it would be extremely difficult, even with her Master’s help; and during their reconstruction, those who had once been weaker than them might have already surpassed them in strength.

The existence of the Celestial Treasures was simply too incredible; treasures like the Celestial Character Templates could elevate one to godhood in a single step.

Even for those requiring slow cultivation and gradual strengthening, the pace of growth seemed terrifying to her.

If the Angel Civilization were to descend in the future, merely enhancing scientific research would not be enough—they must also engage with the mystical realm and even seek out powerful Celestial Treasures for study.

But those resources belonged to Blue Star; when they arrived, they would likely rely primarily on trade.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xin’s gaze toward Ye Xuan held an indescribable awe.

The current endpoint of the Divine Body system is the Sacred Body; as for Karl’s Illusion Body and the subsequent five generations of Divine Bodies, she offered no evaluation.

Yet from nothing to something, the Divine Body system had taken tens of thousands of years to develop from its inception to its present state.

Even for someone like Ge Xiaolun or Liu Chuang, possessing a Third-Generation Divine Body such as the Galaxy Power or the Slayer Power, with sufficient resources, becoming a true civilization deity in a short time was no simple matter—indeed, it was extremely difficult.

But Ye Xuan had gone from an ordinary person to his current strength in just a few months.

Even if this world was unique, for Ye Xuan to possess such power at this point, in her view, was nearly inconceivable.

She had analyzed the data of the Celestial Treasures Ye Xuan had obtained, but those treasures alone could never have granted him such power at this time.

Moreover, she could not understand why, between his first and second manifestation—just two days apart—his data had nearly doubled in strength.

During his third and fourth manifestations, although the data increase was not as dramatic, it still rose in a straight upward trend.

Ye Xuan seemed to possess a ability ensuring that his tomorrow self was always stronger than his today self—and by a great margin.

And this ability, in their terms, was called “talent.”

No wonder Queen KaiSha had left such an order.

With such a talent, Ye Xuan was worth any price the Angel Civilization might pay to recruit him.

But would Ye Xuan agree?

Zhi Xin tilted her head.

Chaoyang City, Commercial Street.

A man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight wandered aimlessly down the street, his gaze sweeping over the shops and stalls along the sidewalk.

He wore a plain gray hoodie and jeans, his hair messy, black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose—he looked utterly ordinary, the kind of person who vanished the moment he stepped into a crowd.

His name was Zhou Ming, one of the “Treasure Hunters.”

With more and more Celestial Treasure holders appearing, many like him spent their days wandering the streets, trying to “snatch up” Celestial Treasures.

Unlike those who had only recently discovered anime due to the Celestial Treasures’ emergence—amateurs who couldn’t even name all the anime characters—Zhou Ming had been a hardcore otaku long before the Spiritual Qi revival, intimately familiar with countless anime and games.

Why not call him a shut-in?

Because at least he was willing to go out searching for Celestial Treasures; true shut-ins preferred online shopping.

But in Zhou Ming’s view, finding Celestial Treasures relied on “chemistry” and “intuition”—only when you looked at something and felt an overwhelming desire, a sense that missing it would haunt you for life, and owning it made you feel the entire world belonged to you, could it truly be one.

Even if it wasn’t real, if it was something you desperately wanted, you still wouldn’t lose.

What?

You ask whether he’s ever bought a Celestial Treasure so far?

That’s just fate not having arrived yet.

But even without buying a Celestial Treasure, he still believed online shopping could never yield one.

Unless, after you bought it home, it transformed into a Celestial Treasure on its own.

But such an extremely improbable event was not worth considering—he didn’t believe it would ever happen to him.

Suddenly, Zhou Ming froze in his tracks, an indescribable tremor surging from his heart, as if something were calling to him from beyond.

The feeling was so intense it made his whole body tingle, as if a voice whispered in his ear: if he missed this, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

Zhou Ming was no stranger to this feeling—he had relied on it to buy many items before.

Without exception, none had been Celestial Treasures.

But he never doubted his intuition; he only believed he had not yet found the way to awaken them.

This time was no different!

He turned around, his gaze involuntarily locking onto an unremarkable stall.

There lay various cheap handicrafts, but amid the clutter, a streak of golden light glowed sharply.
