Chapter222-The Library
Stay connected via empire
From the very beginning, their contact with Daniel made the group feel that although Daniel was a powerful and mysterious being, he was also easy to approach.
It wasn’t until just now that they realized the reason they had seen Daniel’s gentle side was that they still had some use for him.
From guiding them through the ruins at the start, to later helping them acquire relics and the Star Map,
otherwise…
Daniel also had his thunderous methods!
Even the god sovereigns of the Court of Divine King could hardly withstand one of Daniel’s strikes!
“Don’t just stand there, keep up!”
Elise’s voice rang out.
Only then did the three react,
hurrying to catch up.
They certainly didn’t want to anger Daniel now!
At the end of the path, there appeared a small pond.
The crystal-clear water was so still it almost made one question if it was water or some kind of massive pit.
The water’s surface had no ripples at all,
like a mirror.
Daniel also noticed the magic array’s fluctuations on the surface of the pond.
It seemed to be an entrance.
After entering, the real ruins began.
Without hesitation, Daniel leapt in.
After a brief space fluctuation, Daniel found himself in another location.
Here, everything was shattered, even floating in the air.
Just as Arya had described earlier,
chaotic!
Not only were the rules of this place in disarray, but even the terrain and environment were filled with chaos.
Daniel could even see two areas of ground almost at a ninety-degree angle.
Yet, the animals on top seemed unaffected.
From a normal perspective, these small animals appeared to be moving on the wall.
But those creatures seemed unaware of this,
or perhaps in their perception, they had always been moving on the ground.
“Who’s there! This is the Court of Divine King…”
At that moment, voices came from above Daniel,
from a floating piece of land.
As expected, the aura of god sovereigns emanated.
It seemed that god sovereigns in these ruins were more powerful than those outside.
Without further delay,
Daniel immediately restrained them, and with Elise and the others, continued deeper.
“Where’s the center of these ruins?”
“Please follow me, sir. This is just the outer area of the ruins. We know the shortest path to the center,”
Arya replied, leading the way.
“Hm.”
Daniel glanced around, casually using magic to grab some items.
After inspecting them, he found that most were items only a Tier-god mage would use.
So Daniel lost interest and followed Arya toward the central area of the ruins.
On the way, they encountered quite a few disciples from the Court of Divine King.
However, long before they even noticed Daniel,
he had already taken action and imprisoned them.
He had no time to waste dealing with these people.
Reaching the center quickly was the most crucial task.
After about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the central area.
The rules here were even more chaotic.
There were also hidden spatial turbulence zones.
One wrong move, and anyone caught in them would likely die on the spot!
Arya and the others had been lucky and skilled enough to make it here.
“Sir, not far from here, there’s a library. We’ve only entered its outer area once. The whole library has already fallen into chaos.”
“Let’s go see it,”
Daniel said.
A library from a former temple piqued Daniel’s interest.
Perhaps it held some clues about why this place had turned out like this.
Outside the library, there were also people from the Court of Divine King.
God sovereigns, even quasi-god kings, were present,
seemingly trying to decipher the chaotic rules.
They hadn’t even noticed Daniel and the others arriving.
It was still the ordinary disciples of the Court of Divine King who noticed them first.
Before the other party could shout out,
Daniel immediately restrained everyone there,
then continued forward.
Three large characters spelling out “Library” were engraved on the stone tablet in front of the library.
Daniel noticed that outside the library, there was a magic array linking it to the interior.
It seemed that these people from the Court of Divine King were quite capable.
They had managed to achieve this level of protection.
Daniel released the quasi-god king beside him.
“Have you found anything in this library? Let me see!”
“Yes!”
The two quasi-god kings didn’t dare to refuse.
The mysterious and powerful being before them was clearly beyond their ability to provoke.
After all, they had been restrained before they even had time to react…
They couldn’t even resist!
Even some god kings from the Court of Divine King probably couldn’t do that!
Daniel took the two storage crystals and glanced at them.
There were indeed some divine spells,
but these were of no use to Daniel.
He simply flipped through them briefly before setting them down and handing them back to the two.
It seemed that there was something in this library after all.
He needed to go inside and check for himself.
So, Daniel said to Elise and the others,
“You wait here. I’ll go in alone to see what’s going on.”
“Headmaster, please be careful,”
Elise said.
“Sir, this library is not a safe place! The chaotic rules inside could…”
At this point, one of the quasi-god kings warned.
Daniel curiously looked at him,
surprised that this person would actually offer such advice.
“What’s your name?”
“Varun.”
“Are you skilled in magic arrays?”
“I wouldn’t say skilled, but there are few in the Court of Divine King who are better than me.”
Hearing that humble yet arrogant reply, Daniel smiled.
“Wait here for me, we’ll talk after I come out.”
After saying that, Daniel left a mark on Varun and entered the library.
On the first floor of the library, Daniel even found some magic spells.
They were, to be honest, lower-level spells,
probably just filler for the book collection.
Would such a powerful force really have people study magic?
Wouldn’t divine spells be more convenient?
Divine spells were considered advanced magic.
In the God Realm, divine spells were much easier to use than normal magic.
Daniel casually picked up a book,
but as soon as he touched it, the book turned to ashes.
It seemed that these low-level books couldn’t withstand the ravages of time.
So, Daniel didn’t bother staying on the first floor,
and instead moved up to the second.
On the second floor, there were low-level divine spells.
These books were different from the ones on the first floor,
they had a faint glow around them,
which was probably a protective measure by this force.
There were many divine spells here, but they were all low-level.
Still, they were of various types.
Daniel thought for a moment and took all the books with him,
storing them in his personal space.
These items were the foundation of a powerful force.
He was sure to keep them for later use.
The third floor was similar,
though there were fewer books than on the second,
the quality was much better.
It seemed that the divine spells obtained by the others earlier had come from this level.
Daniel also took everything.
On the fourth floor,
Daniel’s attention was immediately drawn to six powerful auras emanating from light orbs.
Each orb represented a different divine spell.
Daniel knew these weren’t just ordinary divine spells.
He casually took one and examined it.
It was a divine spell related to life…
Was this force primarily researching divine spells related to life?
With that thought in mind, Daniel moved to the fifth floor.
As soon as he entered the fifth floor, Daniel instantly felt the strength of the chaotic rules.
He resisted these rules with his mana.
Then he looked around.
The fifth floor had already been destroyed in most areas.
Among the remaining items, Daniel’s gaze was drawn to a painting!
