Chapter 333

A history book of the Spirit Race; its contents were naturally mostly about the Spirit Race, extremely detailed in every aspect.

Although Li Yu was more interested in the secrets regarding the gods and the ancient era interspersed within.

Yet as he read on, he was still drawn in and immersed by the heavy epic of such a powerful race.

How great were the gains attached to this?

Perhaps for practitioners of other paths, it counted for nothing.

It was just a history book; even if one could recite it backward by the end, it would only add a title like "historian" or "scholar," with zero boost to combat power.

But in Li Yu's view, this was actually a very great opportunity.

Don't look at the fact that he is currently a Sequence 4 of the Spirit Venerable path!

A dignified True Person of Bait-Eating!

Placed in Wanfu City or the Three Kingdoms and Six Sects, although he still couldn't reach the level of an overlord, there was no problem calling him a powerhouse.

But if one were to zoom out further, it actually didn't count for much.

Especially in terms of knowledge and experience, he was still too lacking.

Although in one-on-one combat, he could already defeat God-Chosen Favored Ones like the "King of Trolls" and the "Child of Taboo."

But the latter two could completely look down on Li Yu as a bumpkin.

Compared to the boundless Spirit Realm that was vast to the point of having no end or borders, and the mysterious, unknown Heavens Beyond... the Present World, at most, could only be considered a small world hiding secrets but very remote, even though for some reason, a whole bunch of powerful divine entities were squatting in this small world.

Li Yu had a premonition:

Sooner or later, he would have to step into the boundless Spirit Realm.

Before that, he needed to establish some basic cognition first; if he could incidentally peek at the secrets of the gods and the ancient times, that would be even better.

This was the important reason why Li Yu was willing to open the portal, risk the danger, remove the pollution for this Spirit Race female prophet Xing Lei, and share a moment of intimacy with her.

Xing Lei's body!

Also did not let Li Yu down.

After reading the details in the history book carefully this time, he sighed in amazement:

"Undoubtedly, the Spirit Race was once an incomparably powerful race that created a brilliant civilization that ruled the galaxy."

"They built cities of spirit bones lifted by quantum tides, starlight was used as decorations, the prophets within the race could weave the web of fate to avoid calamity, and they possessed a glorious fleet capable of fighting against gods."

"Gods such as the God of War, the God of Trickery, and the Goddess of Life were born within their race..."

"As a long-lived species born with extraordinary spiritual inspiration, they created the Sanctuary of Bliss, floating theaters performed operas of supernova explosions, the boundaries between pain and pleasure were completely erased, artists painted with living nebulae, and poets composed epics with black hole gravitational waves."

"Therefore, besides the gods, a large number of legendary and demigod-level powerhouses were born within the race."

"They even mastered forbidden technologies capable of instantly annihilating galaxies; at their peak, the Mechanical Necron race also had to avoid their edge."

"Compared to such an extraordinary race, the human race can only be considered a toddler learning to walk."

"Until they fell, desire turned into poison, making them completely indulge in bliss and pleasure, eventually using the entire race as nourishment to feed the now incomparably powerful 【Sinful God】 with countless believers."

"The day the Sinful God was born, the released storm of shrieks completely destroyed this powerful race and annexed their home planet and territory, turning it into the Kingdom of the Sinful God."

"The ancient overlords of the Chaos World thus fell into a confused race scattered in the star sea, and at every moment faced the teasing and predation of the 'Sinful God'."

"Although they are still struggling, they themselves and the bystanders all know that there is almost no path to survival."

"Of course, even so."

"The 【Spirit Race】 in the boundless Spirit Realm now is still much more powerful than the human race."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse; millions of years of glory will not decline so quickly."

Li Yu summarized the history and current situation of the Spirit Race while sighing repeatedly.

The last time was a rough read, and the gains were there but not many.

But this time, it was very different.

Besides the astonishing history of the Spirit Race, Li Yu also glimpsed other knowledge he was interested in between the lines, or rather, some common sense.

First was the division of forces and worlds, which was not as chaotic and disorderly as imagined.

Roughly, there was still some order to speak of.

"The boundless Spirit Realm is indeed without borders and without end."

"But most areas are not suitable for the reproduction of living beings, especially the further one goes into the remote depths, where there is only deathly silence; except for some strange creatures, even gods are unwilling to exist within it."

"The existing explored areas are all shrouded by the 'Radiance of the Gods'."

"And are roughly divided into three major areas, or one could say major worlds."

"They are the 【Chaos World】, the 【Abyss World】, and the 【Void World】."

"Each world actually involves the concept of a multiverse and is extremely vast."

"The reason for such a division lies in the divine entities within the major worlds."

"For example, the races and rulers of the Chaos World almost all believe in divine entities such as the Blood God, the Sinful God, the Compassionate Father, the Great Changer, the Doom Rat God, the Mad God, etc. The galaxy where the Spirit Race is located is precisely the Chaos World, so the history book has the most descriptions of this world, occupying ninety percent."

"The other worlds are only slightly mentioned."

"For example, the Void World borders the Heavens Beyond, and the divine entities within are the most strange, horrific, mysterious, and unknowable; the 【Lord in Yellow】 believed in by the Huang Yin is precisely a True God in the Void World."

"No matter which major world it is in the boundless Spirit Realm, it is almost entirely a 【True God Gift System】, so there is no strict hierarchical division; at most, there are some self-settings within each race and sect."

"However, among the upper-tier powerhouses, there are several relatively rough and general divisions to determine the strength of opponents."

"For those who can participate in large-scale interstellar wars, spread their fame, and be recognized by major races and powerhouses... they are called legendary level."

"For those who can cross the starry sky, explore mysteries, and face gods directly... they are called demigod level."

"Further up, there are secondary gods, subsidiary gods, and the like."

"Such as God-Chosen Favored Ones like Joseph, the Huang Yin, the Child of Taboo, the King of Trolls, etc."

"Seemingly all have great backgrounds and not bad combat power."

"But they cannot yet be considered legendary-level existences; for the time being, they have not been able to cross that threshold."

"Strength needs to be raised by another notch, and one must participate in a large-scale interstellar war and gain recognition from all parties to step into the 'legendary level'."

"If calculated this way, it is really not easy to simply convert it with the God-Ascension path."

"Roughly speaking, legendary level might be equivalent to Sequence 3, or 2?"

"Demigod level is at least Sequence 2."

"Sequence 1 is likely the secondary god level."

"Sequence 0 is the absolute True God?"

"This time it really is a bumpkin looking at the world!"

"If calculated by actual area, I have been tossing about in the Present World for so long, is it equivalent to not having left the novice village?"

"The Spirit Race is so powerful and glorious, and there is a bunch of gods covering them within the race, yet they were still destroyed one day... truly powerful divine entities can also die in war, and there are many examples."

"In such a world, me being a Sequence 4, it is no problem to call myself a novice."

Pioneer, inside Li Yu's exclusive carriage.

On the bed covered by the power of distorted space-time, in the Qi mist full of ambiguous atmosphere, the two entangled figures were suddenly awakened by the brain-babble that resounded through this Ancient God train.

It was a notification!

Pioneer is about to officially land at 【Magic Boat Station】 and meet the representatives of the long-lived species on the Ancient Magic Boat.

Both were very reluctant to part.

Of course, it was not because of that pleasure of fish and water.

Li Yu was reluctant to part with the "Spirit Race History Book"; although he had already used his divine ability and immersed his heart and soul in reading, he still couldn't finish the history book, and he was still far from it.

Xing Lei was reluctant to part with the two services Li Yu provided: Sin-Removal and Guidance.

The former service allowed Xing Lei not to worry about the pollution from the "Sinful God" for a short time, and the remnants from before were also completely removed.

The latter made her even happier; although Li Yu did not use the Truth Bubble, as a Bait-Eating True Person, he originally possessed some power to peek into the future and fate.

When the two combined, Xing Lei's power as a prophet was also enhanced.

Regarding the future survival of the Spirit Race, she seemed to have gradually cleared away a trace of fog.

However, no matter how reluctant, they had to separate.

Because the brain's crazy babble this time was full of an irrefutable meaning.

"Passengers!"

"Magic Boat Station has arrived."

"The representatives of the various races on the Magic Boat are already waiting in advance."

"According to the agreement signed with our side when you received your tickets, you must do your best to help the various races of the Magic Boat break the closed-door lock of the 【Six Great True Gods】."

"Please get off the train and complete this mission, everyone."

"Hmm?"

Li Yu, who was still pondering the many common senses of the boundless Spirit Realm, suddenly heard these few pieces of information he did not know before.

Closed-door lock?

Mission?

Strange words, but they made Li Yu smell some unpredictable ominous signs.

He did not cover up either, and directly opened his mouth to ask the female prophet Xing Lei, a friend with whom he now had a special relationship.

Because the two had already merged their bodies, Xing Lei could vaguely perceive that Li Yu did not seem to be a person from the City Lord's Mansion, at least not a believer of the Lord of the Veil.

Although a bit surprised, she had already regarded Li Yu as a special lover and answered directly:

"The invitation letter for Pioneer, or rather the ticket, is indeed not given for free."

"Each of us had to agree to some conditions when we got the ticket, and one of them is precisely to help those long-lived species on the 【Ancient Magic Boat】 break the closed-door lock of the Six Great True Gods, so that their World Tree can break through the blockade and pierce the world barrier of the 'Present World'."

"That agreement is very unfair."

"Normally, we wouldn't agree."

"But the True Gods behind us all gave relevant oracles."

"I received an order from the 【Prophet Council】."

"According to the introduction of the messenger who came to deliver the ticket from the Lord of the Veil, although the Ancient Magic Boat is nominally a neutral area and a place of trade, in reality, its external passage has always been in the cracks of the world, completely blocked and monitored by the Six Great True Gods; the few Star Gods they believe in cannot even descend a clone, which is much worse than the situation in Wanfu City."

"All external exchanges and trade can only be carried out quietly, and can even be counted as smuggling, which could be destroyed by the Six Great True Gods at any time."

"Those few long-lived species and the divine entities behind them have always longed to break through the blockade, be completely connected to the boundless Spirit Realm, and establish a 【Kingdom of the Magic Boat】."

"If it can be done, those few 'Star Gods' can also enter the Present World in the form of clones."

"So their permanent neutrality in the 'Present World' is actually a disguise, just to lower the vigilance of the True Gods and win enough development time for their 'World Tree'."

"Now, it's probably about time."

When Xing Lei finished saying these things, information Li Yu had never heard before.

His heart was greatly shocked!

Isn't this Present World a remote small world?

What secrets are hidden here?

How come no matter what god it is, they all want to squeeze in here.

And words like world cracks and closed-door lock also made Li Yu immediately generate some guesses, and some metaphors appeared in his mind:

"Sure enough!"

"The Present World is actually the territory of the Six Great True Gods, just coveted by the Outer Gods."

"Wanfu City is one example."

"Now this Ancient Magic Boat is considered local forces colluding with Outer Gods to break the backward closed-door lock of the 'decayed True Gods' and forcibly make that ancient continent a foreign trade gateway?"

"If this continues?"

"The Present World is very likely to be completely integrated into the boundless Spirit Realm in the future."

"It's a pity, whether it's the Chaos, Abyss, or Void World, in many cases, they are even more terrifying than Purgatory."

While muttering and pondering, Li Yu and Xing Lei left the room together.

Although the two moved very quickly and were dressed neatly when they came out, they still couldn't avoid the exposure of their relationship; after all, there wasn't a single fool among the God-Chosen Favored Ones in this carriage.

No one booed, they just cast admiring glances at Li Yu one after another.

"What a bold human, actually daring to let 【Xing Lei】 break the precept; she is the fate prophet most favored by the Spirit Race Prophet Council. Now that she has completely enjoyed pleasure, once she dies in the future, her soul will definitely be taken away by the 【Sinful God】, and the plans of the Prophet Council will fall through."

"She was a prey marked by the Sinful God hundreds of years ago, intending to possess her personally; now that she has been preempted by a human, she will definitely be retaliated against."

"Although the human race is weak, there are occasionally some outstanding ones."

"Xing Lei should have been watched by the Sinful God for a long time; as a human, after merging with her, he was not polluted... is it because he is under the cover of the Lord of the Veil's power?"

"Now I can accept that the Chaos card lost to this human; after all, I don't have the guts to touch such a Spirit Race female prophet."

"Those who blaspheme gods will not have a good end; the daughter of the Spirit Race will sooner or later fall into the hands of my master and become a plaything."

Obviously, the last sentence came from the Child of Taboo, this Sinful God Favored One.

He was the only opponent in the field; one can imagine that if it weren't on Pioneer, he would probably have summoned the Sinful God to descend and slaughter Li Yu, this bold human who dared to snatch his master god's prey.

If it were any other time, Li Yu would be happy to chat with these God-Chosen Favored Ones and learn more common sense about the boundless Spirit Realm.

But now!

At this moment.

Li Yu's attention had been completely drawn by the extraordinary scene of the Ancient Magic Boat outside the window.
