Chapter 342: Reading (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe in Full!!!)

Xiaduoen.

Inside the apartment.

Liliyat had just returned carrying a bag full of bread when she saw Aaron half-reclining on the sofa, his posture leisurely, while he chewed on a crimson core that made her heart palpitate.

Crack!

Crunch!

Aaron devoured the remains of a "Sun" Non-human Existence in a few bites as if he were eating an apple, feeling his own Spirituality take a great leap forward.

Not only that, but from his eyes, ears, and pores... wisps of light seemed to be overflowing.

As the greatest Ancient mastermind, Aaron was quite repulsed by organizations like the "Sunset School" that dedicated themselves to digging up Ancient Secrets and searching for the mastermind behind the scenes.

"The 'Shadow' path is also one that excels in divination and prophecy... According to common logic, the paths that appeared at that time all had a 'Siming God' at their source... But when besieging the 【Scarlet Creator】, a total of only five appeared... Counting the Creator who was the master of 'Sun' itself, that leaves 'Shadow' and 'Tower'... These two Siming Gods are quite Mysterious; even I do not know their foundations."

"Looking at it this way... my estimation of the 'Unmelting Ice', 'Dawn', and other Sisuies needs to be raised a bit more. Who knows what else they are hiding?"

Aaron flipped to the end and discovered that the last page of the chapter had been torn out by an unknown person.

Snap!

Aaron slammed the Chapter of the Sun's Fall shut.

His expression unchanged, he flipped to the second page.

Most of it could only be treated as a snack.

Aaron was somewhat speechless and flipped to the first page.

He rummaged through "Jiade's Treasure Box" and took out a Secret Transmission; it was none other than the Chapter of the Sun's Fall obtained from the auction earlier.

Aaron muttered a sarcastic remark and continued turning the pages.

"And in reality, a Non-human Existence carrying an 'Angel-level' Magical Item—not to mention the Fifth Primordial Substance—would be hard for even a 'Crown' to keep hold of... It's just her bad luck to have run into me this time... Come to think of it, I really am at odds with the Sunset School."

Even the washing of seawater for thousands of years could not cover up this layer of light.

Only a few special descriptions within it made Aaron feel slightly interested:

【The Shadow of the Sun existed before the sun died; at that time, It existed in the future!】

"But the 【Scarlet Creator】 was destined to die; even He Himself contained a tendency toward division. If He doesn't die, who will?"

Aaron ignored these and took out another vanity case that appeared to be for a woman.

The moment he touched it, he knew this was not just a piece of literature; it also contained Spirituality, equivalent to a Magical Item.

The so-called "Gods of Illusion and Dream", "Spirits of the Spirit World", could be those Spirit World Creatures powerful enough to rival an "Immortal", or they could be the various Sisuies and Hidden Existences!

"Thinking that by mastering some secret pacts and sacrificial methods, one has obtained powerful strength... taking the indifference of a Four Pillars or a Hidden Existence as a sign of fear and successful coercion... I seem to be reading the entire process of how a madman courts death."

【The Red Sun has perished, I shall be as such!】

"And, it seems he realized the problem himself?"

Aaron continued flipping forward, arriving at the end of the book:

"Oh? It actually involves the Secret of the Sunset?"

On the title page, a sentence was clearly written—【I, 'Balute', have used this grimoire to coerce the spirits of the Dream Realm to fulfill my wishes!】

In Aaron's eyes, the overflowing twilight radiance suddenly formed mysterious characters.

"Hmm, this box shall be called 'Jiade's Treasure Box' from now on."

"At that time, It could be said to exist in the future, or it could be said to exist within the sun, carrying a natural tendency toward division..."

"The 【Scarlet Creator】 actually split off a Siming directly? But He had already split off the 【Black Sun】 in His early years... Truly powerful. If He and those Siming Gods weren't all genuine lunatics, I probably wouldn't have been able to deal with them."

【The Gods of Illusion and Dream all have their own Secrecy; by mastering their True Names and coercing or controlling them with their secrets, one can borrow their great power... and possess methods to avoid their Backlash...】

Under this light, his physique was sculpted to be increasingly perfect, his face became more handsome, and every movement carried an indescribable charm.

On the remaining stub of the paper, only one line could be barely read:

【Knowledge evolves desire, desire drowns reason, I keep company with madness】

"Feeling that my mental state is gradually becoming wrong."

"Hmm, I killed the other party just to seek revenge; it was definitely not to silence a witness."

In the following chapters, he did see some substantial information, such as the process of how Balute wandered the Spirit World and discovered fragments of historical time, as well as some Secrets regarding the Sun Fall and the splitting into Sisuies.

If there was any image of the most perfect man in a woman's mind, it would certainly be someone like him!

He was transforming toward a "Perfecter"!

For instance, Liliyat was staring almost blankly at this moment, her cheeks flushed with a faint red for some unknown reason.

"Heh..."

Aaron smiled without a word.

"But now, there seems to be an answer... The Siming of 'Shadow' was born after the Sun Fall? At that time, It existed in the future? It is—【Twisted Phantasm】!!"

【I pursued the radiance with the strength of my whole life, just like a moth flying toward a flame... My soul danced like sparks, some already dead, some rising higher】

The language used in the Chapter of the Sun's Fall was a brand-new one, but as long as a person with Spirituality read it carefully, they could understand the meaning within.

The era this 'Balute' lived in must have been very early; at that time, he probably did not yet understand the concept of a "Four Pillars".

【It is also the culprit of the Sun Fall!】

After opening it, he took out one piece of miscellaneous item after another.

While muttering to himself in his heart, Aaron opened this shipwreck document.

Of course, as a premium item carried by a Non-human Existence of the "Sun" school, the quality was much higher than the "Carnivore's Satchel"; Aaron prepared to modify it for his own use later.

"Do not read Secret Transmissions that exceed your own Primordial Substance too much; this often represents danger."

Aaron took stock of today's gains and found that the greatest one was still the "Damo Statue".

Among those sundries, there were also some messy Talismans, low-level Magical Items, and even things like Pounds.

Aaron stared at this sentence, remaining silent for a long time.

"What a pity... If that powerhouse from the Sunset School had arrived later, that sword would have been mine."

The yellowed paper seemed to be overflowing with the afterglow of the setting sun.

Standing to one side, Liliyat, whose gaze had previously seemed drawn to the books, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness: "I... what is happening to me?"

This was loot obtained from Ms. Jiade, a storage-type Magical Item similar to a "Carnivore's Satchel."

He was a witness who had experienced these things firsthand, so he did not take them to heart.

Aaron put the books away, then immediately looked toward Vernon's room.

If his intuition was not mistaken, it seemed the other party's Spirit World owl Messenger had sent another message.
