Chapter 361

Zhou Yun did not hesitate to take out the copy of the *Book of Ma Genusi* he had obtained from the Black Library and a pair of yellow-orange shoes from his fourth-dimensional pocket.

【Item Name: Shoes to Enter Storybooks】

【Origin: 22nd Century Earth — Future Department Store】

【Production Time: 231. M3】

【Function: After putting on these shoes, one can enter a storybook, roam freely within the world of the book, and participate in, change, and distort the direction and content of the book's world. Note: If the shoes are lost within the book's world, one will be unable to leave.】

Zhou Yun quickly put the shoes that could enter the world of books onto his feet, while his gaze also fell upon Ahriman's copy of the *Book of Ma Genusi* in his fourth-dimensional pocket.

【Item Name: Book of Ma Genusi (Copy)】

【Origin: Prospero】

【Evaluation: An immortal tome of sorcery compiled by the Primarch Ma Genusi from arcane knowledge collected since the Great Crusade. The knowledge within has been activated and formed an inner small world. The *Book of Ma Genusi* and its copies are all entrances to that small world. This copy was gifted to Ahriman by Ma Genusi during the Burning of Prospero. The content within has been tampered with by the Changer of Ways, Tzeentch; it was that tampered content that led Ahriman to cast the Rubric spell, burning his brothers to ashes.】

【Production Time: 799. M30】

【Evaluation: No one understands the Warp better than me!】

【Value: 999,999,999】

The content within has been tampered with by Tzeentch...

No wonder Ahriman handed this secret tome, which recorded many powerful spells, to Zhou Yun without hesitation.

For Ahriman, this copy tampered with by the Changer of Ways was completely untrustworthy.

Who knew how many snares and traps Tzeentch had buried inside, waiting for the reader of this book to take the bait?

However, what Zhou Yun was eyeing was not the sorcery in the copy—he clicked to sell it, making this copy of the *Book of Ma Genusi* disappear from the galaxy entirely.

One original and two copies—the three *Books of Ma Genusi* were interconnected, and now that the one belonging to Ahriman had completely disappeared, the copy in Zhou Yun's hand effectively became a one-way street to the original in Ma Genusi's hand, to the place where Ma Genusi's Warp essence resided.

Theoretically, as long as Zhou Yun entered his own copy and moved forward along the world formed by the activated knowledge, he could directly reach the original in Ma Genusi's hand, reaching the place where Ma Genusi's Warp essence resided.

According to the judgment of the Right-Wrong Divination Machine, this action was the optimal solution.

He placed the copy on the ground and then tentatively stretched out his foot; the pages filled with twisted runes melted like liquid, gently rippling.

Zhou Yun held his breath and stepped into it.

Strange, an intense sense of strangeness filled Zhou Yun's surroundings; he felt as if he had lost all his senses.

No, his senses still existed, but there was nothing around for his senses to perceive.

In this space, his nose couldn't smell, his eyes couldn't see, his ears couldn't hear, and his touch couldn't perceive anything.

It seemed that everything in the world had lost its form, leaving only the sum of those pure, abstract concepts, knowledge, ideas, and reasoning that transcended the visible world and concrete forms.

Primitive, chaotic, and pure information floated in this world; this information did not pass through the five senses but appeared directly in Zhou Yun's mind in the form of knowledge.

"This is the world within the *Book of Ma Genusi*."

This knowledge entered Zhou Yun's mind and turned into a voice that sounded.

"You are an intruder."

Malice—the information surrounding Zhou Yun suddenly surged with intense malice.

It seemed that Zhou Yun's intrusion had triggered the immune system of this book-world; the information surrounding Zhou Yun suddenly launched an attack on him.

A piece of knowledge suddenly surged from Zhou Yun's mind—

"I have finally arrived on this planet, arrived at the home of humanity and the capital of my father's empire."

"I have read a thousand times in books about the former beauty of this planet, and I have heard a thousand times from my conversations with my father about the current tragic state of this planet."

"But when I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt my liver and gallbladder split—could humanity's mother planet, Terra, have become such a terrifying sight?"

"Radiation runs rampant on the wasteland, yellow sand covers the entire surface of the planet, and the last drop of water from the last ocean has been stolen by water thieves. This is a withered and broken planet; how cruelly did those fools called Tech-Barbarians hurt our mother?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yun's senses received the information from the surroundings again.

A hot wind swept toward Zhou Yun's face, gravel slammed into his face, and intense radiation washed over every piece of flesh on his body; fortunately, Zhou Yun had irradiated himself with an adaptation lamp in advance and did not fear the damage caused by this radiation.

He looked around and realized he was standing on a scarlet desert; this desert faintly glowed with green light in the deep night, clearly polluted by nuclear radiation. At first glance, Zhou Yun thought this was Baal.

But in the distant sky, behind the blood-red dust clouds, a star hanging low in the dim night told Zhou Yun: he was standing on Terra—no, this was not the real Terra; this was clearly the Terra activated by the knowledge within the *Book of Ma Genusi*.

Those pieces of knowledge about Terra formed the land beneath Zhou Yun's feet... Was this the *Book of Ma Genusi*'s means of resisting intruders?

After Zhou Yun realized this, he quickly thought of a possibility.

Since the knowledge recorded in the *Book of Ma Genusi* could activate an entire Terra, could the knowledge about specific people also be activated?

The *Book of Ma Genusi* recorded almost all the knowledge the Thousand Sons Legion could collect during the Great Crusade, so naturally, it also included...

"He is my brother? When I first saw him, I was completely stunned!"

"I once thought my brothers would all be excellent scholars, wise scientists, enlightened rulers, and idealistic philosophers."

"But what did I see? I saw a wild wolf! A superstitious, primitive wolf-king commanding savage tribes in the cold wilderness!"

"I hoped to educate that brother of mine, that superstitious barbarian."

"But he stared at me like a wolf—perhaps it was an illusion, but I actually saw wisdom in those wolf eyes—and then he accused me of being overly obsessed with those arcane things."

The voice of knowledge sounded in Zhou Yun's ears again, and that knowledge gradually took shape before Zhou Yun.

"Alas, but out of respect for knowledge and history, I still record the name of this brother of mine here, hoping that the knowledge about him can also bring me strength."

"He is the Wolf King from Fenris..."
