In the Void Domain, the famous Dimensional Origin Library was closing.
Outside, various individuals who saw the announcement were shocked.
"What happened?! Why is the library closing?!"
"Did the library finally succumb to those forces?"
"Damn, and here I was, thinking I could finally access tier 10 knowledge without those stringent clauses!"
Sad and devastated, the group of individuals almost rioted upon hearing the library was about to close.
Although the Dimensional Origin Library cost much more than most libraries, it had a complete array of knowledge, filled with transcendent insights and high-tier techniques that were monopolized.
The ones angry the most about the Dimensional Origin Library closing were the Devourer, the wanted convicts of the Dimensional Alliance.
The Dimensional Origin Library was like their holy place.
No matter their identity or status, the library treated them fairly.
As quoted by the owner, Magnus, "Before knowledge, everything is insignificant."
More importantly, those enlightenment rooms!
These rooms were like a panacea that could help them master the river of laws.
Although super expensive, they provided a clear path to their future.
Just when the crowd was about to explode from anger, an Arcanum Scholar, a staff member of the library, came out.
"Please calm down, gentlemen. We are not closing but merely relocating."
"Huh? Is that it?!"
"You should've said so earlier! What a waste of my feelings!"
"Damn, there better be a discount for the inconvenience!"
Because the Dimensional Origin Library closed without any announcement, they thought it was over.
It seemed they were just overthinking.
"Where is it? Can we still get in?" a Devourer asked.
Due to their wanted status, they couldn't access most of the virtual domains in the Virtual Realm.
"Don't worry, folks. The Dimensional Origin Library will open in a private domain of our master, with no restrictions on entry regardless of strength or status."
"Then where is it? Where will it be?"
"In the Etherium Virtual Domain. It will open a month later..."
---
A month later, in the Etherium Virtual Domain:
Gustavo, a tier 10 potioneering alchemist, looked around the place, confirming if this was where the Dimensional Origin Library was.
Seeing a tower piercing the sky, he confirmed he was in the right place.
In the month since the library's closure, an earthquake no less than a major war between two tier 12 dimensions had occurred.
The Dimensional Origin Library had relocated to a private virtual domain!
For most individuals, this move didn't mean much besides teleporting to another virtual domain, wasting some time and money.
However, for most forces, opening in a private domain was akin to declaring a public identity.
Especially the Dimensional Origin Library, whose ownership had long been a mystery.
From breaching various patents and copyrights, selling monopolized knowledge, to becoming one of the top knowledge hotspots in the Virtual Realm, many were curious about who or what force controlled the library.
A month ago, hearing that the Dimensional Origin Library had relocated to the Etherium Virtual Domain caused a wave of shock.
A hundredfold comprehension rate didn't just make his understanding a hundred times faster but also a hundred times clearer and more logical.
A bottleneck he had been struggling, an incomprehensible piece of knowledge, a problem he had been pondering could all be solved in a few minutes.
Staying in such a place would be like having the wisdom of god knowing anything and everything.
"As expected of the River of Knowledge. Is this what it feels like to be on the path of knowledge?"
"No, the path of knowledge is not suitable for me!" He hurriedly shook his head.
The path of knowledge didn't offer any combat ability.
To save his dimension from oppression, he needed to develop powerful combat abilities.
Remembering what he came here for, Gustavo looked around, searching for books.
"Huh? Where do I find them?"
Around him was a vast, empty space.
Because he was on a higher floor and the library had just opened, no one was in sight.
There was also no librarian he could ask about finding the book he wanted.
[Mr. Gustavo, you need not worry. Simply call out the name of the knowledge you seek, and it will appear before you.]
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Gustavo frowned.
In the virtual realm, his name was Gust, a lone potion-making alchemist.
To hide from his enemies, Gustavo didn't dare to use his real name.
[I am the Spirit of Knowledge, the guiding spirit of this library. I am the embodiment of knowledge itself. Knowing your name is only natural.]
"Is that so..." Gustavo squinted, staying alert.
After a few moments of silence, contemplating his situation, Gustavo could only sigh.
What could he do? He had already paid, and even if he were allowed to leave, there was no way he would waste the 1,000 Origin coins he had just spent.
"Since you can bring me anything I want, bring all the tier 10 awakening potion recipes."
With his request, a sea of books flew around him.
"Is this all the tier 10 awakening potion recipes?" Gustavo gulped.
Even with a hundredfold comprehension, reading all these books would take him thousands of years.
"Could you filter it?"
[Yes.]
"Then..."
Soon, Gustavo racked his brain, trying to filter the tier 10 awakening potion recipes into a manageable selection.
After several minutes of struggle, thinking of all the possible keywords to narrow the books, Gustavo finally slumped.
Despite his hard work, millions of books were still floating around him.
[Please ask a more specific question. For example, what purpose does the potion serve?] the Spirit of Knowledge suggested.
"A more specific question?" Gustavo sighed.
It wasn't that he couldn't, but he didn't dare.
Although he didn't know how this spirit knew his name, he was wary of divulging more information.
[Gustavo, the dimensional master of the Crystal Blue Dimension, affiliation: none, opposition: Crystal Nome Civilization.]
"You! How do you know?!"
[I am the embodiment of the River of Knowledge. Whether it be the past or the present, all information in the Aeon Plane can be known by me.]
