Chapter 842: The Road Before You [Four Updates]
Upon hearing that Chu Yuan was about to show him a book.
The Master of the Realm of Books was also visibly moved.
He knew that although he was at the fourth step of annihilation and in control of the Realm of Books, with numerous experts present here, he was well aware that if he were to fight with Chu Yuan, even if he could expel this man, the Realm of Books would still suffer immense damage.
If it was possible not to fight, it was best not to.
What he most dreaded was, how exactly had this individual found the Realm of Books?
Despite employing his countless wisdom, he could not figure out the reason.
He was confident that even immortals seeking the Realm of Books would cause a great disturbance and he would have ample time to respond; it was not as if Chu Yuan knew the location of the Realm of Books and could enter simply and easily.
And without understanding this point, he felt heavily troubled in his heart.
"Master of the Realm of Books, this is precisely the history of civilization epic I have authored, but I must say, this book was not authored by me alone, but formed by the countless beings that constitute the history of the Imperial Dynasty's civilization."
With a wave of his hand, Chu Yuan let the civilization history of the Imperial Dynasty sweep forth.
It rustled like waves in the ocean, constantly crashing and revealing numerous figures.
In the civilization history of the Dynasty.
Every individual, even if only a small beast, or even a hostile enemy, formed a part of the civilization history of the Dynasty.
"Such... such a history of civilization epic."
The Master of the Realm of Books had seen other dynasties compose books on civilization history, but Chu Yuan's kind left him deeply shocked.
There was a potent force that allowed everyone to participate in the compilation of the dynasty, becoming a part of this civilization, and he felt he was also becoming a part, unable to resist incorporating his own power into it.
Especially the supreme, unrivaled aura on Chu Yuan deeply shook him.
That book on martial arts combat was profoundly insightful.
He seemed reckless, but in reality, he was well aware of the aura of the book on martial arts combat.
Seeing the Divine Martial Empire wage constant wars, from a weak Imperial Dynasty to a Dynasty, he too wished to be a part of it, embodying the essence of combat.
"Everyone is a legend, even the weakest existence, they too are part of civilization, with countless weak ones convening into a torrential flow."
The Master of the Realm of Books muttered quietly.
This was fundamentally different from other civilization histories of dynasties.
Chu Yuan's history of civilization focused on every individual, whether significant or minor personalities, all were chronicled, something other dynasties could not achieve since they lacked the Human Dao River and the Human Emperor Sword, unable to reach his level of detail.
"Your Majesty's history of civilization is truly vast."
The Master of the Realm of Books sighed deeply.
"Master of the Realm of Books, what are your thoughts?" Chu Yuan remained calm.
"Books on civilization history differ from other books, such as those recording Cultivation Techniques which are largely a strong individual's insights, unlikely to change, whereas a civilization's epic is like rolling wheels, continuously moving forward, the longer it exists, the more vast the epic becomes."
The Master of the Realm of Books said, "A book on civilization history requires the participation of countless people, even major upheavals from across the universe can be woven into it, its plasticity is too strong, everyone is a part of the epic, everyone can push it forward."
"The civilization history of the Dynasty can now also be broken down into books of Divine Abilities."
Chu Yuan waved his hand, and once again the epic of civilization underwent a transformation.
"Your Majesty's methods remind me of the ancient Human Emperor spoken of in ancient records, Your Majesty gives off the aura of supreme Human Dao, commanding respect, all beings have spirits, and we book spirits are actually a form of life, just existing in a different way."
The Master of the Realm of Books opened up further, continuing, "Empires can be destroyed, the strong can fall, but the epic of civilization can last forever, this is precisely the direction I have been pursuing, it's just a pity, too difficult, I cannot even achieve immortality."
"Immortality is indeed difficult, but perhaps that's not the only reason."
Chu Yuan gazed upon the Master of the Universe of the Realm of Books.
"Indeed, achieving immortality is difficult, but the hardest part actually comes from external disturbances."
The Master of the Universe of the Realm of Books spoke, "I dare not break through to immortality because the moment I attempt it, the prohibitions protecting the Realm of Books will collapse, unable to be suppressed any longer, allowing other immortals to find it. By then, what would it matter whether I had become immortal or not?"
The Book of Martial Dao Combat nodded upon hearing this.
"Although there are no immortals within the Realm of Books, the value here is greater than that of immortality. It contains many ancient texts, some of which are unique editions not found in the outside world,"
stated the Purple Blood Magic Book.
"I collected these books one by one. I created the Realm of Books to let more books awaken their spiritual intelligence, to produce companions who could share knowledge with me. I clearly know that becoming immortal does not depend on me alone but on overcoming external challenges."
The Master of the Universe of the Realm of Books sighed deeply.
Their value was too great.
He dared not believe the promises of other immortals.
"To achieve immortality, one must pass through too many calamities."
Chu Yuan nodded and said, "But without becoming immortal, once the cosmic cycle ends, the Realm of Books will also disappear."
"This is precisely what troubles me the most."
The Master of the Universe of the Realm of Books felt a headache coming on.
Was he to trust the conscience of those immortals?
"Actually, you already have the answer in your mind."
Chu Yuan suddenly spoke out.
"The answer has indeed already been found."
The Master of the Universe of the Realm of Books said, "Currently, due to the chaos in the Immortal Time and Space, it is actually the prelude to the Feathered Divine Dynasty's struggle to become the Supreme Overlord. Once the great war sweeps across, I will not be spared. Although the Realm of Books is mysterious, it is vulnerable against forces that could push across the universe, and wasn't it easy for His Majesty to find us this time?"
Indeed, Chu Yuan's methods had shocked him.
If one can be found once, then there will be a second and a third time.
Even if Chu Yuan leaves now, what about the person who comes next?
This was something he couldn't help but ponder.
However, Chu Yuan would not disclose to the Master of the Realm of Books how he found the Realm of Books.
As an Emperor, sometimes one must not only maintain dignity but also a certain mystery.
The less the Master of the Universe of the Realm of Books knew about how he was found, the more he would maintain an unfathomable respect for him.
"This chaos in the universe is not a good thing for my Realm of Books. Even if I become immortal, it doesn't mean I can protect myself. We, the spiritual beings, are actually what many powerful entities like to refine most,"
the Master of the Universe of the Realm of Books sighed deeply.
"I offer you a path, a path to prove and achieve immortality."
Chu Yuan, unparalleled in demeanor, declared, "Integrating the Realm of Books into the history of the Empire's civilization. You have seen it already. In my Empire's history, everyone is a part of it. The civilization of the Empire is not driven by one person, but requires the push of countless beings. By merging into it, you also become part of the epic of the Empire. The stronger the Empire, the greater the protection you receive as part of it, and, as the owner of the Realm of Books, you might become immortal."
"Is the Divine Martial Great Emperor recruiting me? By using this narrative of the Empire's civilization, do you want me to become your subordinate?" The Master of the Realm of Books asked calmly. "Does the Great Emperor think I would agree?"
"It's not a recruitment, but a path laid before you,"
Chu Yuan said, "An epic vast, a legend immortal. The civilization's epic, the history of the Empire's civilization continues to push forward, growing like a snowball, and moreover, the position of the Realm of Books is not a secret in my presence."
