Chapter 364: Gibberish and Honorific Names (4800 Added)

Plymouth.

The temporary gathering place of the "Eye of Gumon"—the Hodmon History Enthusiasts Association building.

Bruce yawned, walked out of his room, greeted the other members, and went to the dining hall to enjoy breakfast.

After receiving help and protection from the "Druid" Cornelius and his good friend Aaron, he finally managed to escape the pursuit of the "Desire Spirit Sect" and was able to live in peace for a while.

Although Cornelius's persistent proselytizing during this period made him somewhat annoyed, he eventually waited successfully for the destruction of the "Desire Spirit Sect" and the re-establishment of the "Eye of Gumon," which then summoned members scattered across various places.

This history enthusiasts association was a disguise for the "Eye of Gumon," presenting itself as an organization of history-loving scholars, and even had teaching assistance agreements with several nearby history colleges.

"I have already solidified the abilities of a certain 'Druid'... My Extraordinary abilities are actually sufficient; adding other skills would instead be harmful to myself... Once my historical foundation is sufficiently accumulated, perhaps it will be time to consider the matter of advancing to 'Secret History Scholar'."

Wengo smiled, a look of longing appearing on his face: "It is called—the 'Studies of History Society'! Our 'Eye of Gumon' is a secret society founded by our founder after being inspired by an ancient Gumon giant from the Spirit World, but within the 'Studies of History Society', there are multiple Gumon giants! They can live within history, and the secret historical knowledge they obtain is a hundred or even a thousand times greater than ours!"

After muttering a few words, a wave of drowsiness surged into his mind.

This was a pitch-black jungle.

"The content we are going to discuss today... is about the secret organizations in the ancient Spirit World!"

Bruce could not help but gasp, his face filled with shock.

He knew that the eye left behind by a single Gumon giant could become the holy relic of the entire "Eye of Gumon"!

"Ah!"

A sweet and ethereal Spirit World Language sounded from around that human figure.

After walking out of the dining hall, Bruce thought absent-mindedly.

"It is said that... the 'Studies of History Society' has mastered many ancient secrets, the most critical of which is the secret of the fall of the 'Sun Creator', all of which are recorded in the book *Fall of the Creator*. An Extraordinary once accidentally entered a historical fragment displayed on one of its pages in the Spirit World, and from that, wrote the *Chapter of the Sun's Fall*... Precisely because of this, not only are we searching for the 'Studies of History Society', but another secret society—the 'Sunset School'—is also bitterly searching for the other party's traces in the Spirit World."

"Good question!"

"Spirit wandering in the unknown delusion..."

Wengo continued to speak about some information and speculations regarding the "Studies of History Society," and also discussed issues such as the habits and living customs of Gumon giants with the college.

At this moment, he heard Wengo's sigh: "For example, the aspect of 'Mystery'... our 'Eye of Gumon' is considered a relatively large 'Mystery' cult in the Mortal World, but in the Spirit World, it doesn't even rank... Even the birth of a 'Expert of All Histories' is very difficult; otherwise, we would not have been easily defeated by the 'Desire Spirit Sect'."

Seeing that all the students had arrived, Wengo's face showed a hint of a smile, and he began the lecture.

The mentor "Wengo" smiled; at this time, there were seven or eight students in the classroom gathered in a circle, adopting a small-group discussion teaching method.

Just how powerful must those dozens of Gumon giants be?

Bruce immediately fell into a deep sleep.

"Then in the Spirit World, which is the most famous 'Mystery' cult?" Bruce raised his hand to ask.

This black pendant was a thumb-sized horn, decorated with a piece of lush, dripping-green leaf.

"Of course there is!" Wengo nodded affirmatively: "The Sacrificial Si Sui and Hidden Existences reside high above the Spirit World... Actually, I think the Spirit World also has different layers. An ancient scholar once called the upper layer of the Spirit World, where the Sacrificial Si Sui reside, the 'Astral Plane'!"

"In the Spirit World... are there also secret organizations and cults?" a student asked.

Of course, a "Expert of All Histories" was still very far away from Bruce; what he needed to consider was the problem of how to become a "Secret History Scholar."

In the shadows of the dense ancient trees, it seemed as if countless insect compound eyes were coldly watching him.

"Mastering a certain degree of secret history can effectively alleviate the negative effects of advancement in my lineage..."

Lying on the bed, Bruce looked at a black pendant on his chest and fell into deep thought again: "I wonder how Mr. Cornelius is doing lately..."

They were layered and overlapping, repeating a three-part honorific name, like gibberish, constantly winding around Bruce's ears:

From the darkness, a blurred figure with a plump and graceful silhouette, surrounded by countless vines and iron thorns, with four arms and a human torso, slowly emerged.

After finishing the morning's study, Bruce put away his history notes and returned to his room, satisfied, preparing to rest a while before going to eat lunch.

Bruce's thoughts continued to wander: "Hmm, our organization is looking for the 'Studies of History Society' for the path after 'Mystery'... and the 'Sunset School' is purely for the secret of the Sun Fall? In the ancient period of the Spirit World, was the Creator the Sun God?"

And because Bruce had no mentor, he was actually considered an "auditor," but "auditors" had their own conveniences; he could attend almost any mentor's class and had learned a lot of strange and bizarre ancient secret knowledge.

The dining hall chef's signature sauce pork knuckle tasted really good, though it was a bit too greasy; it would be quite perfect with apple wine... unfortunately, it wasn't suitable for lunch.

With a little anticipation, Bruce walked into a small classroom.

And the Third Primordial Substance is the "Secret History Scholar"!

As for the Fourth Primordial Substance, the Non-human Existence, it is named—"Expert of All Histories"! It is said that advancement is quite difficult and requires a certain understanding of the concept of "All Histories."

"Bruce, sit down."

For some reason, Bruce thought of a group of parrots or octopuses, and other inexplicable creatures, holding rituals and sacrificing to the Sacrificial Si Sui, and he wanted to laugh.

In the pure "Mystery" path, the First Primordial Substance is called "Archaeology Apprentice," and the Second Primordial Substance is "Folklore Scholar." He was currently at this rank, having mastered many strange and bizarre folklore rituals and Magic, but their power was not very strong.

It was a gift from Mr. Cornelius when they parted last time; Bruce had tried, but he could not blow this "Natural Gift."

"And in the ordinary Spirit World, although the Time Sequence and space are very unstable, many Spirit World Creatures also survive there. They also possess intelligence... it is not strange at all for them to worship a certain Sacrificial Si Sui and form a cult."

Bruce opened his eyes, covered in cold sweat, his heart pounding violently, and he only let out a long sigh of relief after seeing the surrounding environment: "A dream? Because I heard too much of Cornelius's descriptions, I dreamed of that Hidden Existence?"

Just after catching his breath, his eyes suddenly widened, discovering that the image of that existence had long since blurred, but that gibberish-like honorific name had been engraved in his heart: "That is not the honorific name of the 'Mother of Nature'..."
