Ten years later, Chen Fann’s beard grew thicker and his hair grew longer.
There were no humans left on earth, so he had grown too lazy to wash or dress up, leaving his hair and beard to grow wildly. It was only when his hair and beard posed a hindrance to his reading that he would slightly trim them. Usually, he was too lazy to comb them.
He was already forty years this year.
Actually, today was his fortieth birthday.
If not for the System’s reminder, he would have even forgotten his age.
Being immersed in the world of reading made him forget everything.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Fann could see that he had really become an uncle in his forties.
Time was ruthless. Twenty years had already gone by in the blink of an eye.
Chen Fann grinned, revealing a row of pure white teeth.
Hahahaha!
Hahahaha!
Initially, he had only been grinning slightly. However, he could not control his laughter. The more he laughed, the crazier the sound he made became. At a point, tears started flowing down his face.
Twenty years!
A whole twenty years!
He didn’t even know how he had endured these twenty years.
But now, he really managed to endure it.
His reading volume had already reached 99,999 books. He was only missing the last book, and he would be able to break through 100,000 books!
Although he had forgotten about time, he had never forgotten the number of books he had read. He did not dare to forget, nor could he forget.
There was only one book left between him and the Old Sun’s Gospel.
He’s waited too long for this day.
So he wasn’t in a hurry to read the next book.
Instead, he took out a pair of scissors, shaved his thick beard, and trimmed his messy hair.
Although he had already become a middle-aged man and a forty-year-old magician,
in the face of his most important moment and the goal he had pursued for twenty years, he wanted to dress up, just like meeting a girlfriend he had not seen for a long time.
To a certain extent, the old Gospel was like his girlfriend, but even more important, that’s because it was an obsession that accompanied him for twenty years and his goal to live.
So after twenty years of waiting, why should he care about this moment?
After tidying himself up, Chen Fann came to the desk, sat upright, and took out the 100,000th book – “Utopia”, authored by Plato.
This book was recommended to him by the system. He had read many books, but the system had never recommended a book to him actively. This book was the first and only one.
This book covered a wide area. It involved politics, education, ethics, philosophy, and many other aspects, a far-reaching influence on the West, and almost represented the entire Greek culture. It was an immortal masterpiece left by Plato.
It had to be said that the content of this book was very deep and meaningful, but what he liked the most was the name of this book.
The three character word Utopia was full of artistic conception.
It was as if it was hinting at something.
…
An hour later, Chen Fann finished reading this extraordinary masterpiece.
“Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement of reading 100,000 books. Now the host’s spiritual power and IQ have reached unprecedented heights.”
The voice of the system rang in his mind.
The reading of 100,000 books had expanded Chen Fann’s spiritual energy and brain capacity to an unprecedented level. From ancient times until now, no human had been able to read 100,000 books.
Under the influence of the system, the book knowledge that Chen Fann had accumulated could be used as memory ability to expand his brain capacity and improve his mental power.
The Old Sun’s Gospel was the Book of Truth of the universe, the beginning of all things, the origin of space and time, the true essence of life, destruction and hope, death and rebirth.
Fragile carbon-based creatures like humans are not qualified to touch the book’s content. Even if they only see a word, they will collapse because they cannot bear the words of truth, fall into madness, and become a lunatic.
Because the mental strength and brain capacity of humans were simply too weak, unable to bear the words of the truth.
But Chen Fann’s current mental strength had already surpassed the limits of humans. With the help of the Eye of the Genius, he only used 20 years to finish reading hundred thousand books!
This was something that no human could do. Even if it was a great thinker or great scientist who read a bunch of books, he would not be able to read so many books even if he spent his entire life reading.
Therefore, as the terminal to receive the gospel’s content, Chen Fann was qualified.
Was it finally time to welcome the most important moment in the past twenty years?
After so many years, even though his mind was already calm, he still couldn’t help but feel excited and nervous.
This was the goal that he had worked hard for for twenty years!
Moreover, it also recorded the universe’s supreme ability, the power that was sufficient to kill the extraordinary creature!
His hand that held the gender- based book trembled slightly.
Although he had already read 100,000 books and his spiritual force had reached an unprecedented height, in his field of vision, this book was still a gender-based magazine.
Therefore, in order to read the Old Sun’s Gospel, he needed the System to be the bridge between him and the Gospel.
“Host, are you ready?”
Chen Fann took a deep breath.
Twenty years of hard work was finally going to come to fruition at this moment.
Boom!
Boom!
However, just as Chen Fann was preparing to read the gospel, a violent rumble suddenly came from the ground, and the entire house began to shake violently.
The intensity of the shaking was no less than a magnitude 7 earthquake.
If not for the fact that this building had been reinforced with steel, it would have collapsed a long time ago.
Another Mountain Troll huh…
Chen Fann wasn’t surprised by the sudden earthquake, because it had happened many times in the past half a month, and it shook almost every day.
The reason for the earthquake was because of the Mountain Troll.
When the earth began to crack and the earth shook, it was the sign of the Mountain Troll waking up.
And the recent frequent earthquakes had already started to cause the earth to crack.
According to the system’s perception, the Mountain Troll had already recovered its weak consciousness and was about to awaken completely…
“Mountain troll, are you so impatient, and want me to kill you so soon?” Chen Fan sneered in his heart.
Regarding the recovery of the Mountain Troll, he didn’t panic at all. If the Mountain Troll had been revived a few months earlier, he might have felt a bit guilty. However, if it was revived at this time, it was simply a testing stone for him.
He could take advantage of this opportunity to use the Mountain Troll to test the power of the gospel.
This was truly a test subject that had delivered itself to his doorstep on its own initiative. Moreover, the timing was just right, neither too early nor too late!
“I’m ready.”
After the violent earthquake stopped, Chen Fann took a deep breath again and said resolutely in his heart while facing the system.
“Alright, start building the bridge between the host and the Book of Truth, and lead to a higher dimension.”
“Building the bridge…”
“[Completion rate of 10%…]”
“Completion rate of 30%…”
“Completion rate of 80%…”
“Completion rate: 100%. Construction successful!”
“Host, you can now open the Old Sun’s Gospel and read it.”
Already done?
Chen Fann did not feel anything.
However, the system definitely wouldn’t lie to him.
He looked at the bisexual book on the table.
The female cover that was originally full of temptation had completely changed when he looked at it now.
The cover was mysterious, ancient, and horrifying. It couldn’t be described with words. In the middle of the cover was written – Old Gospel.
