Chapter 1174 Coded Message
1174 Coded Message
Red Mist Forbidden Land:
Heavenly Book opened his eyes. He opened his books and flipped through them. He soon frowned because there was no update. His senses warned him that something occurred, but he had no update. He trusted his senses, so he would not ignore this change.
'Could it be that I was about to receive more information, but someone ran interference? Or is it something else?' He raised his hand for another sacrifice, but he did not use worlds this time around. He sacrificed a few Elder Fiendgods, which were on par with Inextinguishable and Boundless Paragons - one of which had reached the peak.
A few more pages appeared in the book, but nothing significant or useful. 'Now, I'm even more interested.' He closed his Heavenly Book and summoned a second book artifact. Heavenly Book's mind entered the book and found himself in an enormous white dimension with a golden plaque with the words [Heaven Eyes] inscribed and countless floating pages.
The Heaven Eye was one of the most fearsome Information-Selling Organizations in the Chaos Universe. Most people buy or sell news/information from them because the prices of the All-Seeing Temple are ridiculous. If not for the temple's ancient history and heritage and the fact that the Heaven Eyes do not sell certain information, those Seers in the temple would have lost all their business.
The true leader of the Heaven Eye is, of course, the mighty Heavenly Book Paragon, but there are people who "control" it on the surface.
Heavenly Book looked at the floating pages and took one that was glowing, which indicated that this news was new and important.
'The Flame Emperor had a meeting with the Venerable Pill Sage? Does he want to challenge him again, or is something else at play?' Heavenly Book remembered the analysis the Heaven Eye had about the Flame Emperor. They deduced that the man had an idea for a path of transcendence and was testing it.
Heavenly Book waved his hand, and countless more pages containing information about the Flame Emperor were gathered into a booklet.
"A Transcendent Pill? A path of sublimating skills? Interesting." Although this news was indeed valuable, it was not what he was looking for, so Heavenly Book wrote instructions on the booklet and watched as it disappeared briefly before returning. Far away, the agents responsible for gathering information on the Flame Emperor and the Venerable Pill Sage received new orders.
Heavenly Book granted this deduction, as it was pointless since any one of them would be a perfect bodyguard.
'Let's assume it's for training. In that case, Fate, Time, and Heaven would be the best. They all have ways to see, divine, or calculate the best training method.
'My deduction indicated that something has happened to Fate. Even if I were wrong, his Dao means he is destined to be connected to Wang Wei. Grand Dao will not send such a variable to get close to its son. So, the only choice would be between Time and Heaven.
'However, if I had to choose the best option, it would be Heaven. He would know the best training methods while also controlling luck and misfortune, which is a good training method. On top of everything else, his Dao is the most versatile, allowing for the utilization of different methods.
Heavenly Book's mind was racing. As he was deep in his analysis, another glowing paper appeared, and he swiftly read it: [All our agents were revived, except the ones in World S-345-534].
'Is this just a warning? He killed my people and revived them to show the extent of his power?' Heavenly Book frowned. 'No, something doesn't feel right.'
He pushed his soul and ability to the limit to gather every minute detail of how these agents died and revived. Too many pages to count flashed before him, and he reviewed them at an alarming speed, even for someone of his cultivation realm.
'There,' he thought. Heavenly Book found an anomaly or a pattern. He created a special ability to track the death of his subordinates, and it's countless times better than the conventional soul lamps. After analyzing this part of the information, he found that these people's revival was not instantaneous or random.
They were revived at a very specific time, and even though the difference between the revivals was infinitesimally small, we're talking about differences smaller than attoseconds, he noticed.
'Is this a secret code? Does the cardinal wish to communicate with me but don't want to alert its peers? I see. To any observers, it looked like the cardinal was sending him a warning, but in fact, it was a coded message. Interesting.'
Heavenly Book focused on the code and began deducing. He quickly realized he only found one part of the code. The exact moment the souls of these 10 trillion agents returned to their bodies, the small difference in the time that they opened their eyes, and even the rhythm of the first breath they took - these were all part of this coded message.
'Such an exquisite code - that's definitely Heaven's work,' Heavenly Book summarized while chuckling. 'I thought he despised me after what happened. I guess anything for freedom and power, right?' He focused on deciphering the code and seeing whether it was worth all this effort.
