Chapter 545: The Eternal Book That Has Not Yet Arrived
Chapter 545: The Eternal Book That Has Not Yet Arrived
"Is the Eternal Book really imbued with all the spirit energy technology of the GROX Empire?"
Qin MuYe flipped through it, and it looked like just an ordinary e-book.
"Still, it is quite interesting, as it really does record the situation of the GROX Empire."
Through Wang Wei's memories, he quickly found the Eternal Book hidden in a small library of the Star Cluster Empire. According to Wang Wei's thoughts, this thing was the origin of the spirit energy system.
Just like how the origin of the psychic abilities was the Life Scepter, Qin MuYe was somewhat skeptical of this claim.
Moreover, this so-called Eternal Book did not record anything related to spirit energy. Instead, it recorded some of the customs and the brutal civilization of the GROX Empire.
"Admittedly, this thing doesn't look brutal at all. It's a bit like a Q-version of a red-skinned goblin with a bit of mechanical modification," Qin MuYe observed the illustrations of the GROX aliens. "If this thing doesn't destroy a civilization by accident, it would definitely have a place in the world of cute creatures."
Fortunately, Qin MuYe wasn't someone who judged things solely by their appearance. The records inside also fully reflected the chaotic alignment of the GROX Empire.
After checking for a long time, he did not find any spirit energy knowledge recorded in the Eternal Book. It seemed to be just a collection of small stories about the GROX Empire, akin to fables meant to scare children.
He did not even detect anything related to spirit energy.
"According to Wang Wei's memories, this thing lost its power source, so it has become an ordinary book, but it doesn't even look like it."
If it really lost its power source, adding a divine item setting could work, but Qin MuYe had already disassembled it. It was just an ordinary e-book, not the so-called Eternal Book.
If the structure of the Eternal Book was the same as an ordinary e-book, then Qin MuYe would have no objections, but the issue was that this e-book was produced thirty years ago. How did he know? Because it had a production number, manufacturer, and a certificate of conformity from the Star Cluster Empire.
"I must not have picked the wrong book," Qin MuYe looked puzzled.
"The possibility is not high. It's more likely that the time has not yet come, and the Eternal Book has not yet arrived."
Qin MuYe realized that this thing might not be prepared for him. So, even if he tried to obtain it, what he got would just be an ordinary e-book, not the Eternal Book.
This e-book was merely a carrier, not the true Eternal Book.
After reassembling the e-book and placing it back on the shelf, he thought, "So, how did those outsiders manage to obtain the main character's destiny? They must have switched the main character."
Wang Wei's talent of suppressing the butterfly effect now allowed him to plan and intercept others' destinies, making it impossible for such events to happen.
Even if Qin MuYe took this e-book, he wouldn't be able to obtain the Eternal Book; he would just get another carrier.
Since Wang Wei was being monitored, he would have to wait until the next time Wang Wei came to take it.
Otherwise, if someone else came, they might not be able to take it.
"Now it seems that Wang Wei is likely the one chosen by the Shimmering Universe server to deal with the stellar disaster."
Although the star gods were suspected to be 9th-tier cosmic wills, Qin MuYe was sure that Wang Wei was not the cosmic will of the Shimmering Universe. Otherwise, how could there be a reborn person like Wang Wei?
If the star gods were the true main characters, Wang Wei wouldn't have the cosmic favor talent.
Therefore, the cosmic wills born from the star gods were essentially pseudo-emperors, not the true rulers.
"Unfortunately, there has been no trigger yet."
Qin MuYe felt a bit helpless. He couldn't find the star gods, and the "Chronicles of the Lord" had no activity. He could only wait and slowly research other projects.
What else could he do?
"Maybe I can start by researching the Life Scepter. Although it's called the origin of psychic abilities and seems a bit exaggerated, when combined with Wang Wei's energy manipulation, it does indeed present the power of infinite psychic abilities."
Wang Wei used his energy manipulation to control the Life Scepter, which, with the blessing of this holy artifact of the GROX Empire, allowed him to become an infinite psychic and maintain his human form without any conflict.
This kind of treatment isn't something that ordinary people can enjoy.
Most psychics have only one ability because the human body can only bear so much. Those with multiple abilities either die young or progress slowly, as multiple abilities place a significant genetic load on the body, often preventing them from fully utilizing their powers.
Only the protagonist can have infinite abilities without affecting their own health, and instead become stronger, otherwise, they would have been dragged down by their multiple abilities long ago.
Of course, this isn't primarily due to Wang Wei's excellent planning or special constitution. It's simply because the Staff of Life grants him a special ability. If anyone else had the Staff of Life along with energy manipulation abilities, they could also develop infinite abilities.
However, the problem is that ordinary people can't obtain the Staff of Life.
It's like how becoming a millionaire by depositing a billion in the bank and living off the interest isn't feasible—it's not replicable.
If you really had a billion in the bank, would you need to live off the interest to become a millionaire?
Apart from the Staff of Life, Qin Muye actually wanted to use the unfamiliar star map to travel to unknown star regions, but unfortunately, the map was still incomplete.
Qin Muye suspected that the GROX Empire and the Star Deity might be related, otherwise, the evil spirit entities infected by the Star Deity wouldn't have invaded the secondary dimensions under the GROX Empire's control.
Qin Muye wasn't clear on the exact nature of this relationship. It could be adversarial, or the Star Deity might have inherited the GROX Empire's legacy, or even be remnants of the GROX Empire. All these possibilities existed.
Either Qin Muye would need to find the Star Deity, or wait for the star map to be completed to explore the unknown star regions.
"Wang Wei must be quite confused right now," Qin Muye couldn't help but think of Wang Wei. The trajectory of his previous life had changed, causing his foresight to be off by a bit.
"Since I can't get the Eternal Book, the remaining Galactic Cube is probably in the same situation."
Without the items, how could he steal them? Qin Muye wasn't strong enough to reverse cause and effect, so he could only give up.
However, it wasn't a problem. Wang Wei was wearing the active armor, and Qin Muye didn't want the three treasures; he wanted the knowledge they contained. So, in reality, Qin Muye and Wang Wei had no conflict. In fact, Qin Muye could even act as a grandfatherly figure and give him things.
For things he couldn't force, Qin Muye wouldn't dwell on them too much. The only issue was that if he wanted these items later, he couldn't put Wang Wei in too much trouble, otherwise, who knows when he would get them.
After scanning the entire library and confirming there were no issues, he left some monitoring devices to keep an eye on things, so he wouldn't miss anything important.
He had also considered sending a sprite to replace the library's director, but then he realized that a sprite was already with Wang Wei, making it redundant. With the monitoring and various surveillance in place, it didn't matter whether the library had a director or not, especially since this library didn't have one to begin with.
It was all run by robots, and replacing them would be difficult.
A 7th-stage sprite could mimic a robot, but connecting to the network might be a problem. The GROX Empire's network wasn't easy to infiltrate, especially in terms of security.
As a vast empire, it had numerous artificial intelligences maintained by engineers. Qin Muye's magic network and stellar array combined could barely match them.
They couldn't do anything to Qin Muye, and Qin Muye couldn't do anything to them.
After handling these matters, he returned to the Infinite Abyss without leaving a trace. There was no sudden detection of his presence leading to a pursuit. Such things only happen to protagonists, not to someone like Qin Muye, who isn't even a minor character.
"Master, the latest intelligence: Wang Wei and his mercenary group have withdrawn from the D-rank secondary dimension. The reason seems to be that the research team was recalled," Black Hand sent this information to Qin Muye as soon as he detected his return through the magic network.
Qin Muye glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time: "Alright, so once the opportunity is obtained, the rest doesn't matter."
Under normal circumstances, they would continue the investigation, but because the "Favored by the Universe" talent suppresses the butterfly effect, the opportunity was completed, and the research team was recalled by the GROX Empire.
Even if they were no longer a priority, they were still valuable researchers.
