"All right, the two of you, please follow me." The administrator led them to the north corner of the first floor. "The books in this section are all on these shelves. Do you have any specific requirements, young sir?"
"Thank you," Ye Fan replied politely. "I'll just have a browse. Please don't trouble yourself."
The administrator could only say a few polite words before withdrawing.
"Ye Fan, why are you suddenly interested in these things?" Liang Rujing tilted her head, asking curiously.
The Great Liang Kingdom was merely one of many states in the Eastern Wilderness, so its historical records of the entire continent were bound to be limited.
In her opinion, Ye Fan was so powerful that his understanding of the continent must be far more comprehensive than the books in the library.
"It's nothing, just looking around." Ye Fan casually pulled out a book and began to flip through it.
"Do you have a general direction then?" Liang Rujing also pulled out a book. "I'll help you look."
"Abyss, sword energy. Magic, dragons..." Ye Fan pondered for a moment and gave a few keywords.
The Abyss, strictly speaking, belonged to the Western fantasy system. Therefore, he threw out some representative terms related to Western fantasy.
"Okay, I got it," Liang Rujing replied, opening the book and studying it carefully.
The terms Ye Fan mentioned were all incredibly unfamiliar to her.
Let alone seeing them, she had never even heard of them.
Despite Liang Rujing's cultivation being very weak at only Qi Refining, she was, after all, a 'talented student' who had dropped out of the Royal Cultivation Academy.
Putting aside her strength for a moment, she definitely had some knowledge and experience.
She dared to guarantee that the teachers had never mentioned the words Ye Fan spoke.
However, this was not important.
If Ye Fan wanted to find something, she would help him find it, which was enough.
Because it was rare to be able to do something for Ye Fan, Liang Rujing searched with exceptional earnestness.
In comparison, Ye Fan's reading speed was significantly faster.
Although he currently had no cultivation, he was, after all, a formidable figure who had transmigrated a hundred times consecutively.
While these hundred transmigrations had stripped him of his cultivation, they had preserved his spiritual power.
Ye Fan had almost reached the peak of the continent in each of his previous lives, so the strength of his spiritual power was self-evident.
The cumulative effect of one hundred peak-level spiritual powers was absolutely terrifying!
It was no exaggeration to say that
even the Saint-level among immortals would be like ants before him in terms of spiritual power!
If he were to cultivate even a little of the corresponding techniques in this life, he could return to his peak in minutes!
Of course, such a situation was no longer possible.
Ye Fan stated that cultivation was not something he would do again.
No matter how powerful one became through cultivation, in the end, they would only become tools or sacrifices for a system.
He had no interest in doing all the work for others!
Thanks to his terrifying spiritual power, Ye Fan read at an extremely fast pace.
They spent the entire afternoon in the library.
However, the results were not very optimistic.
Ye Fan read over a thousand books in one go. He learned a lot about various historical and unofficial records, but he couldn't find anything he was looking for.
Ye Fan sighed and put the book back on the shelf.
There were only a few hundred books left to finish. If he still found no clues, he would have to give up.
"Ye Fan, look, is this what you're looking for?" Liang Rujing suddenly handed a book to Ye Fan, pointing to a passage.
Ye Fan quickly took the book and began to read.
This passage described a battle that took place over a hundred thousand years ago.
A sect called the Yunxia Sect accidentally discovered an entrance to a secret realm and organized an expedition to explore it.
Then,
the nightmare began!
It was a forest filled with a cold, decaying aura. Many disciples turned into white bones as soon as they entered!
Just as they were in a panic, a monstrous entity appeared before them.
The entity let out an eerie laugh and then uttered a string of words they couldn't understand.
Countless skeletons of monsters and humans emerged from the ground, including many they didn't recognize.
Even the disciples who had turned into white bones earlier had their bones reanimated!
Each of them emanated a strange green light, and their combat power had multiplied several times!
Then,
there was no 'then'...
Except for one disciple at the Void Comprehension realm, everyone else from the Yunxia Sect perished!
This passage was written by the Void Comprehension realm disciple who escaped.
The book recorded that he was almost scared to death at the time.
When he thought he was doomed, he suddenly saw a beam of light and was inexplicably teleported out.
Later, he escaped that terrifying area and went to a place called Luoxing Kingdom.
Following that, it recorded the subsequent experiences of the cultivator, but all of them were normal records with no reference value.
Ye Fan closed the book and returned it to Liang Rujing.
Although the pronunciations of the syllables recorded by the Void Comprehension realm cultivator were slightly off, Ye Fan could still recognize them as the sounds of a summoning spell.
The monstrous entity described in the book was, without a doubt, a Corpse Ghoul.
Corpse Ghouls were generally similar to necromancers, fighting by controlling the undead.
However, these beings were far more powerful than necromancers, with a strength comparable to the Integration realm of cultivators.
But this was not the point.
The point was that this creature resided on the tenth level of the Abyss!
Now, it seemed highly likely that this Abyss was the same one he was familiar with!
It seemed he had to make a trip to this Luoxing Kingdom!
Although Ye Fan usually appeared as lazy as a salted fish, he actually lived in a state of high tension every day!
He had to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, constantly guarding against the dog system tricking him into traps!
Even when he slept, he often dreamed of being tricked by the system!
And the system in this life was clearly very untrustworthy!
Previous systems required him to put in corresponding effort to gain rewards.
He had even been repeatedly on the verge of death multiple times, yet still failed to receive rewards.
But what about the system in this life?
It forced benefits upon him!
Damn it!
Just forcing benefits was one thing, but it also arbitrarily teleported him to other places!
This would never have happened before!
If it could forcibly teleport him today, it might forcibly control his body tomorrow!
And then he would have to watch helplessly as he became a tool, a sacrifice nurtured by the system!
Ye Fan couldn't be blamed for overthinking; he had been tricked too many times...
Trust was destroyed bit by bit through such betrayals!!!
This was precisely why Ye Fan would rather die than escape the system!
No one liked the feeling of their efforts being in vain!
I, Ye Fan, would rather believe in ghosts than ever trust that dog system's lying mouth again!
Well...
It seems there really are ghosts in this world...
But that's not important!
Now that he had a clue about the Abyss!
Dog system, you're preventing me from committing suicide, aren't you?
Now I'll drag you down with me into the Abyss for a mutual destruction!!!
It's just a game, isn't it?
Who's afraid of whom?!
