Chapter 683: Empty it out! Must empty it out!

Chaos City, Chaos Tree…

After seeing this name, Xiao Feng immediately combined the two.

I wonder if there's any connection among them?

This question is well worth looking into!

There are still many books on the shelves, all having been 'restored to perfect condition' by the duster.

Xiao Feng looked them over one by one; this shelf mostly held books of the museum-magazine type, and besides 《Ancient Sky-Piercing Road》, there were works like 《Primordial World Remnant Chapters》 and 《Ten Directions Great Emperor》, all books from the primeval age introducing various things and people of heaven and earth.

Xiao Feng knew that the 《Myriad Heavens》 game world was not purely a fictional product; its history might actually correspond to a certain period of the real world.

He therefore placed great importance on these books.

He tried to put them into his backpack; this time it went smoothly, and the system did not stop him.

He then specially selected a high-grade artifact storage space, cleared its contents, and placed all the books inside, intending to take them away and study them slowly when he had free time.

The marvelous use of the duster has become apparent— all the books in this whole study can be taken away!

Xiao Feng felt a secret joy, took the duster, walked to the next bookshelf, and swept it from a distance.

Whoosh~

A breeze blew past, lifting part of the dust.

The books on the shelf all instantly changed in quality, no longer rotting.

"Turning decay into marvel, this duster is at least a perfect supreme artifact! I've struck it rich this time!" Xiao Feng exclaimed happily.

He had pretty much made up his mind to inherit the legacy known as the 《Ninefold Heavenly Dao》.

It's not for anything else, just for this duster that 'chases away mosquitoes'!

The second bookshelf held over thirty books; Xiao Feng simply stuffed them all into his storage space, then tossed the storage ring into his backpack.

However, when moving to the second-to-last layer of the second bookshelf, there was one book he couldn't move.

The system prompted that this was a legacy item and could not be taken away.

Xiao Feng checked the records and realized this was also a primeval legacy, but with only a 22% compatibility, pitifully low.

Xiao Feng paid no heed, continued to the third bookshelf, and kept repeating the same task.

A sweep of the duster, and the books on the shelf were renewed.

Bing Lu watched from the side, not really understanding why he waved the duster like that.

... She didn't even know what this thing was called a duster!

"Hey hey, are you stealing books? As He Er Na's man, you can't be a thief— you're going too far!" Bing Lu did not miss the chance to mock Xiao Feng.

She seized the opportunity and immediately jeered.

"Mind your own business, I'm being diligent and studious!" Xiao Feng couldn't be bothered to reply to her.

"Hmph! Then I want one too!"

Bing Lu immediately walked to another bookshelf and casually grabbed a book.

Clatter~

As a result of her grab, she used too much force and immediately shattered the structure of the bookshelf, which had been sealed in dust for years.

The entire bookshelf, books and all, instantly turned to powder and collapsed!

For a moment, dust flew up, choking people and making breathing difficult.

"Holy shit, you little spendthrift! These are the emperor's books from the primeval era!!" Xiao Feng's eyes widened, he jumped up in anger, ran over, grabbed one of her antlers, and pressed her to the ground.

"Yaya, eh~ don't grab, don't grab, I was wrong, okay~"

Having her vital point restrained, Bing Lu went limp and collapsed straight into the dust heap, looking utterly miserable.

"You're really going to make me die of anger!" Xiao Feng really wanted to beat her up and vent his spite.

But seeing her face turn red and eyes well up after her vital point was grabbed, looking almost drunk, he found he couldn't bring himself to strike.

Bing Lu's antler was still in his hand; she dared not resist, pleading pitifully: "Th… there's still one book, I'll give it to you— just let go quickly, I… I'm going to die!"

Saying this, she handed over the book she had just taken.

Quite a coincidence— on that very bookshelf there was just one book that could be touched, and she had grabbed it in her hand.

Without a doubt, this too is a primeval legacy.

Xiao Feng casually took the book, loosened her little antler, and snarled: "Behave yourself! No more roughhousing gently, or I'll snap your antler right off!"

"Sniff… He Er Na, come quick, your man is bullying me, sniff~"

Bing Lu lay in the dust heap with a miserable expression, fearfully covering both of her antlers.

Xiao Feng was also helpless.

He unwillingly waved the duster over the dust heap, but unfortunately, what's been destroyed cannot be restored.

Instead, a slight breeze blew by, sweeping the dust off Bing Lu's body, leaving her clean and spotless.

"Huh? I'm not numb anymore?"

Bing Lu, affected by the duster, immediately had the debuff from her antler being grabbed removed, instantly returned to normal, and sprang up lively and vigorous.

Such a response made Xiao Feng feel ever more amazed.

This duster is truly amazing!

He glanced at the book in his hand.

【You have discovered the primeval legacy 《Great Dream Heavenly Devil Classic》, compatibility 61%; accept the legacy immediately?】

The quality of this legacy seems decent, but the compatibility is low, not suitable for him to use himself.

It can only be left in place for now, as a reference.

Whoosh~

Xiao Feng continued with the tasks of 'restoring relics' and 'transporting ancient books'.

Books were moved into his divine artifact storage space at a speed of dozens upon dozens.

Occasionally, during the moving process, he would find one or two books containing inheritances, or discover an item and a half on the bookshelf that contained an inheritance.

The whole process went quite smoothly.

Hmm... as long as the ice deer doesn't cause trouble, it will go very smoothly.

And the ice deer, after having its antlers grabbed several times in a row, had developed a certain fear of Xiao Feng, no longer daring to oppose or provoke him as before.

While moving the books, Xiao Feng also kept in touch with He Er Na.

He told the Contract Goddess everything that had happened on his side; upon hearing his description of the whisk, He Er Na exclaimed in surprise, "Being able to restore something already rotten—this is something even a primary divine artifact might not be able to do; perhaps it is a God King artifact!"

"I think so too. However, this thing is just casually placed on the bookshelf; a God King artifact is a treasure, so randomly discarding it seems somewhat hard to explain." Xiao Feng voiced the doubt in his heart.

He Er Na speculated, "Could it be that the people here have strength far surpassing the God King Realm, to the point that they don't even care about God King artifacts?"

"Not impossible!"

Xiao Feng nodded.

He had already had this idea when he was in the Court Discussion Hall earlier.

Because this imperial palace has existed for an extremely long time, such a lengthy span might even cause the corpse of a primary god to rot and turn into a pile of bones.

If that is the case, then the four ministers on the hall whose flesh does not decay might all be of God King level strength!

The emperor on the imperial throne, however, would be even stronger, possibly of Ancestral God level!

Of course, this is merely a speculation.

Perhaps those undecayed corpses are really just ordinary primary gods, or perhaps... they are even stronger than God Kings!

"Master, I have come down the mountain and am about to enter the city. Does your imperial palace contain several very large halls?" He Er Na sent this inquiry.

Xiao Feng replied, "Yes, several. In front there is also a vermilion-lacquered gate tens of meters high and a city wall blocking the way."

He Er Na said, "That must be right; I will enter the city immediately and come to meet you right away!"

"All right, I'll wait for you!"
