Chapter 1834: The Four Levels of Access Rights to the Silver Moon Library

The Four Levels of Access Rights to the Silver Moon Library

Before the window where rain fell, golden light traces again spread along the leaf veins, until all the light entered Xia De's eyes.

He grunted, closed his eyes, and processed the vast, chaotic information; he held his head for a long while before raising it again, causing the cat beside him to grow very worried.

"So complicated?"

Xia De had already known before that the rules of the Silver Moon Library were divided by entry method into different access rights; this time, he finally learned all the types of access rights.

First, Low-Level Access: Pushing open the Silver Moon Gate via a one-time ritual requires the three stone tablets in Xia De's possession as keys. Entering the library this way is limited to "once per year," and although one may browse the library's archival records, the actual content accessible is restricted.

These restrictions, even Miss Dac Dac Nisi did not know. Second, Mid-Level Access: the ancient Moon Cult, which holds the rites and worship of the moon, possesses the method to gain entry to the library—this is the grace bestowed by the Ancient God—the Silver Sage.

This method is nearly impossible to achieve in the Sixth Era; the ritual axis requirement can be fulfilled at the "Night Spirit Temple" in the Rander River Valley, but the problem is countless: opening the Silver Moon Door requires devout cultists, and a standardized ritual ceremony must be performed.

The knowledge granted by Tree Father includes instructions on that ritual and prayer method; though incomplete, it at least covers the general content. Even in the fleeting vision of the Ancient God, Xia De saw ancient Moon Cult worship scenes; the most complex requirement was not merely hundreds of devout moon believers lighting up, but knowing exactly where to find them.

Of course, this method also requires at most one of those eight "Moon Stone Tablets" as a key. "This is naturally..."

"Do their meetings always last so long?"

"Moreover, your goal is merely to enter the library. Touching the original moon relics inside, it's impossible to encounter..."

Sylvia didn't answer, but looked at Megan. The little mage of "Knowledge and Wisdom" pondered for a moment:

The mage's servant brought snacks and tea; the cat held by the Ancient God struggled, signaling it wanted to eat:

"Incantation"—the Ancient God also knew: when Miss Dac Dac Nisi used the ritual to summon the door, this incantation was used. And the knowledge granted by Tree Father also contained this part:

I pressed my finger against the glass behind me and slid upward with the falling raindrops:

The door knocked from inside—the little mages returning from their meeting had finally come back.

"This is troublesome."

"But the Chosen of the Moon still know when they will appear."

Seventh, beyond High, Mid, and Low-Level Access, there exists a "No Access" right. To possess ordinary access, the method of entering the "Silver Moon Library" must also be ordinary.

【Is he devout to the Moon? Or is it not devotion, but...】

【If one is so obsessed with seeing 'Him,' what then will one do upon seeing Him?】

Ordinary Access grants fewer choices than Low-Level Access, and Low-Level Access does not mean entering the library grants all knowledge at once. Regarding this library, built by the "Silver Sage," encompassing all records of the material world, the Ancient God has never personally entered; relying solely on divine knowledge, he still understands too little.

Although now it seems no investigation affects anything, he still wishes to know what suffering Lady Jia Lin and Mr. Jackman endured, and why it occurred.

The knowledge granted by Tree Father was extensive; analyzing it according to his understanding, the gist was that Miss Jia Lin—the Silver Sage—had personally left behind certain entrances, such as the moon during an eclipse. And these entrances were open only to ordinary individuals.

Megan had never heard of these things before:

The Ancient God also knew that the moon relic within the library was not something he could touch whenever he wished. Perhaps, like other ordinary rules left by Miss Jia Lin, it required the Ancient God to sacrifice a drop of divinity, or some other ordinary object, to achieve this goal.

Thus, the obstacles before the Ancient God were more numerous than mountains. Even if he now possessed eight drops of divinity, the difference between achieving true sight of 'Him' was still like that between a cup of water and an ocean.

The corresponding "artifact" for each of Miss Jia Lin's remaining places had different requirements.

"A curious question. After answering, Ancient God, can you tell me why you asked it?"

"May the original Silver Moon protect you beneath the endless night sky."

"But we don't usually have this many things to discuss; such a situation is ordinary."

"By the way, I'd like to ask a question. In the Seventh Era, 1576..."

"I wonder, this time, how many Chosen of the Moon will appear before the last one... will it always be the last?"

"During the period from 1500 to 1577 of the Seventh Era, did any minor events occur in the material world? Generally, events related to demons?"

"Of course No Access—it was the time key he gave you."

Among them, "Stevens" naturally corresponds to the Moon. The crimson, clear yellow, and sacred silver moons and their associated Stevens cannot, but if the meaning deviates too slightly, the access level won't rise—though this relates to the Ancient God.

"Can you be considered a high priest of the devout Moon Cult?"

Sylvia and Megan, upon entering, both looked tired; once they sat down, the servants who had been waiting brought cold tea and snacks. They did not immediately speak of matters of importance, but asked him to wait a moment—Sylvia would rest briefly, then open a portal to bring Miss Benanis from across the lake, while the Duke was on his way:

He looked at his reflection on the rain-streaked window glass and asked inwardly.

Even if the Chosen were not of the same path, one could not seal the "door" into the corresponding Card of the Myriad Changes by killing the Chosen, then placing it in one's home... when dealing with the Dark Chosen, the Ancient God had done exactly this.

In fact, the best way to find the eighteen remaining spaces of Miss Jia Lin is to wait for the appearance of a qualified Chosen. For example, Yi Lu Na, upon becoming a Chosen, immediately knew how to enter the "Court of the Judge."

For instance, those the Ancient God had recently encountered: the mages' golden jewelry, the holy emblem of "The Inverted Judge," the statue of "The Primordial Crack," the white robe fragment of "The Crawling Dark," the breath of death, the Wise's Radiant Stone, the fragment of the Heart of the Great Earth.

"Could it be here?"

I whispered aloud to the window, and the only response was Mia's "Meow~."

To be honest, since understanding the time adventure Tree Father had made him endure—history would not record what came after—he had lost all interest in investigating the historical context corresponding to the No Access time key. Thus, for Megan's gift, the "White Mist Camp—1576" key, he had used it without any investigation whatsoever.

Sylvia explained, and Megan helped clarify:

He briefly described his unique "time investigation" experience; Sylvia already knew these things, so she still held her teacup and helped supplement some details for the Ancient God.

The Ancient God was curious about what exactly you discussed in today's meeting to cause such a relaxed atmosphere. But since he had to wait for Miss Benanis and Ling Funa, he had the patience.

He recalled again the eight minutes he had "illegally crossed" in the White Night Spirit Temple, witnessing Hesith and long-haired Luveya's conversation (1335). In an unknown Eighth Era, Hesith mentioned that the Chosen of the Earth was the seventh to appear, and after that, Luveya had already witnessed the legend of the Silver Moon Chosen.

"But I've never heard that any force in the material world controls the entrance to the Silver Moon Library. Otherwise, Miss Dac Dac Nisi wouldn't have gone through such trouble to find it."

"You" smiled gently, without uttering the word we all knew.

To enter the library via this method, one must meet the basic requirements: "Stevens," "Incantation," and "Artifact."

I murmured to myself, then thought again of the collapsed low tower on Karas Mountain—the one I suspected I might have fallen from in spring 1853:

As for the "Silver Moon Library," unsurprisingly, the corresponding artifact is naturally these eight Moon Stone Tablets.

"You" suddenly asked beside the Ancient God's ear; the Ancient God did not answer immediately, but picked up the cat beneath the windowsill:

"We'll tell you after we're all gathered; something major is about to happen."

"I've never heard... so during the Panatanal War, those ancient mages, along with your Saint Bellen's founder, Mana Feliana... wait, didn't Buna mysteriously tell me you had the secret to becoming a demigod mage? Was that not a joke? Was it because of him? That unique time talent... are you the Time Chosen?"

"I've never heard of that... so during the Battle of the Pantanal, these Ancient Demon Men hadn't yet... wait, did Brother Mana Feliananna, the founder of your Holy Byron, exist back then?... Wait, if Bu Liangna mysteriously told you that you don't possess the promotion secret of the Half-Demon Men, could that also be a joke? Is it also because of him? That unique Time talent... is he the Chosen One of Time?"

Boom—boom—boom!

"That was still short. In the latter period, not once did your meetings run until seven in the morning. It was only after Miss Jia Lin complained to the Honorable Chairman that lack of rest would ruin one's complexion that the Honorable Chairman allowed it: if a meeting dragged on too long, it would be temporarily adjourned, leaving the most important issues for the seventh day, when no one had time to discuss them anymore."

Eighth, low-level permissions. The way to obtain such permissions was not the most useless thing the Ancient Gods could do: find this true door left by Miss Jia Lin leading to the "Silver Moon Library"—just like the seven doors that exist in my home right now.

Moreover, the hint obtained the next time leaving the library was, "No possibility of meeting," which did not mean that it still depended on luck.

I worked backward on the timeline: Lady Miles in 1576 appeared to be eighty or ninety years old:

But Sister Dan Xia De has gone there more than once to conduct investigations. I am an eighteen-ring wizard of the Moon System; if such a door truly exists, there is no reason I should fail to discover it.
