Alex nodded. “Can’t you?”
Jade brushed virtual-novel.net bangs aside like an embarrassed little girl. “I don’t think this is a universal ancient language.”
“It is.”
“Quit lying. I know more than half of them.”
“It’s like our language now. There’s the simplified version and the traditional version. According to the era, there are other differences, such as the oracle bone script, bronze script, or a small seal script. This was the writing used during the Middle Bronze Ages.”
Jade’s pretty eyes blinked awkwardly as virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net face heat up. Her disciple, of all people, was teaching virtual-novel.net about different writings.
“What does it say?”
“Hmm, it’s like classical literature. Let me translate for you. It says… Gaea was envious that the Grand Priest could command all the demons. But in contrast, virtual-novel.net was slowly losing virtual-novel.net status and powers.”
“She was no longer a necessity to the demons. In order to regain virtual-novel.net place as queen of demons and virtual-novel.net control of them, virtual-novel.net planned and led the Fuzen War intending to extinguish the Siepata and the priest.”
Jade butted in, “Then what Andariel said was all true?”
Alex said, “Probably! There’s mention of the three demons of Xavion Tomb here too. The misbehavior of Andariel and the others during the Middle Bronze Age and how they persuaded the Emperor to act cruelly were all planned. It was so that the Emperor would lose the people’s trust.”
“War could be then triggered easily, and the Siepata would be sacrificed in the process too. Finally, Gaea would regain the power of all demons, while Andariel and virtual-novel.net sisters would become virtual-novel.net scapegoats.”
As virtual-novel.net continued reading further, Alex finally found what virtual-novel.net was looking for.
“The Heaven’s Mark!”
“So the Heaven’s Mark really exists. According to that, it‘s three hundred miles from here. Peacock Heavenly King plans to risk destroying most of his soul by escaping through Heaven’s Mark, and when the time is right, virtual-novel.net will come back to take control of this tower.”
“It’s signed by the Peacock Heavenly King, Yu…”
Alex’s eyes glared widely in disbelief as virtual-novel.net read until the sign. “Yuno? The Peacock Heavenly King’s name is Yuno?”
Jade questioned. “What’s wrong with that name? You know her?”
Alex said, “Yuno is Phoebe Larson!”
“Phoebe? Oh… I remember, your woman.” Jade was shocked too.
She’d met Alex through Phoebe, never expecting the woman to be the Peacock Heavenly King.
Jade asked, “Could it be the same name?”
Alex shook his head. “No! I remember some things that further prove she’s Peacock Heavenly King… Uhm, Phoebe is actually possessed by Yuno now. She’s temporarily taken over Phoebe’s body, but virtual-novel.net promised me if I reached Spirit Severing in three years, she’d set Phoebe free.”
“Within three years? But it’s been two years already! What’s your cultivation level now?”
“Core Formation!”
“You’re joking?”
“I have three thousand golden cores.”
“What…?”
Jade was stunned and obviously didn’t believe Alex. No one in the world could possibly have three thousand golden cores. She would’ve believed virtual-novel.net more if virtual-novel.net said that virtual-novel.net had three thousand eggs.
Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net used virtual-novel.net Chi to look inside Alex’s body and had a clear view as Alex spun his golden cores around for virtual-novel.net to see.
“Do you really have three thousand golden cores?”
“Are you still human at this point?”
Alex said, “Right back at you, you’re not human either! You’re a titan! Speaking of titans, the first thing that comes to my mind is a gorilla…”
“Do you have a death wish?”
“Ouch…”
Jade kicked Alex tens of meters away and landed in the ruins. As virtual-novel.net crawled back up, virtual-novel.net had something in his hand. It was a box.
“Huh, what’s this?”
