"What … did you say?"
Amidst the awkward silence, Huai Shi looked at the huge steel cover in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.
The light spot moved again, and soon, a new line of words appeared.
[Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si]
"…"
In the silence, Huai Shi took a deep breath, took a step back, and then another step back. He clasped his hands together and said, "Sorry to disturb you, goodbye!"
He turned around and left, but he was pulled back by an invisible force.
[Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu]
"I don't love you, get lost! “
Huai Shi struggled to pull his arm back, and then he saw a new line of words appear on the cover again.
[I've seen Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens …]
"…"
Silence.
Awkward silence.
Huai Shi took a deep breath again, exhaled deeply, and then told him seriously, "Brother, if you do this again, I'm really going to leave?"
"…"
After a short silence, new words appeared again.
This time, it was finally not some unintelligible words.
[Damn you, you're my MAST …]
Seeing Huai Shi's unfriendly expression, the words were swallowed up before he could finish writing. In the end, only three words were typed out.
[Sob sob sob]
What to do, I really don't want to talk to him!
What the hell is this, the former Celestial genealogy Level 5 Ascendant Osiris is a Martian, and he's also a freaking sob monster.
Who can handle this!
[Don't go, brother, I'm suffering … It's too hard for me.]
Seeing Huai Shi's expression change, a line of words appeared on the cover pitifully: [I've been imprisoned for 10,000 years! Please understand. Ever since Orton passed away, no one has spoken to me.]
"Orton?"
Huai Shi asked, "Who's Orton?"
[Orton was my former contractor, Osiris' pilot.]
Huai Shi couldn't believe the words on the cover: [I'm so miserable! That bastard's death was one thing, but he just had to give me the last bit of Origin Substance. I was perfectly fine as a book, but in the end, I forced myself to become a spirit. Then, I was locked up here and had to take care of his funeral! It's so hard for me!]
"… What?
Huai Shi's eyes widened. "Wait, if Orton is dead, then who are you … Are you a fragment of the Kingdom of Heaven?"
[Ah, yes, that's right. But now, Kingdom of Heaven is only left with fragments, right? The moment I opened my eyes, the huge Kingdom of Heaven was gone. It was gone just like that! What kind of bad luck is this?]
"What happened back then?"
[How would I know? As soon as I was formed, Kingdom of Heaven stopped. He only knew that someone was messing with him, but he didn't know what had happened. It was simply more miserable than a screaming chicken.
After waiting for so many years, I've already given up hope. I didn't think that someone would bring the Book of Destiny here.
Brother, can you do me a favor and take me away? I'm easy to take care of. Just talk to me for five minutes every day. No, three minutes … No, even one minute is fine!]
The steel book began to shake violently, as if it was crying in a storm.
In the blink of an eye, at least three thousand words flew across the cover, causing Huai Shi's scalp to go numb. If he brought this thing home, how was he going to survive in the future?
[Brother, please do me a favor. I'm easy to take care of, really!]
As if it was afraid that Huai Shi wouldn't agree, the cover suddenly shook. [I promise to eat less and work more. I don't need insurance or overtime pay. I'll also accept the leader's unspoken rules!]
"… …"
Huai Shi began to doubt it from the bottom of his heart.
Bro, with your strange appearance, which leader would want to sleep with you?
Seeing that Huai Shi didn't believe it, the steel book began to shake violently. Immediately after, a square hole appeared on the cover.
"… …"
The corners of Huai Shi's eyes suddenly twitched violently. You're really well-prepared!
He was already prepared to get the fragment of the Kingdom of Heaven, but he didn't expect to find such a self-aware and immoral fellow.
He wouldn't abandon this book here just because he disliked its chatterbox.
Anyway, retrieving the fragment of the Kingdom of Heaven would also bring him benefits. Moreover, this place looked like a prison. If he left it here, it might really go crazy.
Huai Shi could empathize with it and understand its pain.
Anyone who encountered this kind of situation where they were thrown into a prison and no one cared about them after they opened their eyes and gained self-awareness would not have a good time.
If it were Huai Shi himself, he might have already torn himself into a few pages and played games with everyone after splitting up.
This wasn't the night of the witch, where he could activate the acceleration gear. 100,000 years of time was only one or two months, and the real time was only a short eight hours.
After surviving alone for so many years, it was only a brainless chatterbox that was a little non-mainstream. It could already be called an iron will.
But the problem was —
At this moment, Huai Shi was only in the thin dreamscape of the Stellaris, entering the illusion outlined by the last remnants of Osiris's Origin Substance.
Only his consciousness passed through the network cable and came to this chat room. He couldn't summon the Book of Destiny at all, let alone take anything away from here.
After understanding the situation, Huai Shi and the fragment could only look at each other.
After a long silence, a line of incredulous handwriting appeared on the cover of the fragment.
[Why are you so weak?]
"… …"
Huai Shi was speechless. He clasped his hands together and said, "Indeed, I overestimated my strength. Brother Fragment, such a treasure of heaven and earth like you must belong to the virtuous. I'll take my leave. "
[Wait, don't, brother. I didn't mean that. The Book of Destiny is in your hands. Who else can pass Orton's authorization verification?]
The fragment asked in disbelief. [I thought there was a problem with my Perception Module. You don't even have a Tier 5? How did you get the Book of Destiny's approval?]
Huai Shi replied expressionlessly, "To be honest, one day, I was walking in my backyard when this thing fell from the sky and almost hit me until I was hospitalized with a concussion."
[… …]
A series of ellipses followed by a series of exclamation marks, followed by a mess of emoticons.
After the fragment vibrated twice, it seemed to be carefully examining Huai Shi, sighing with emotion that there were all kinds of strange things in the world. Even this kind of strange person could pick up the Book of Destiny in his own backyard.
If Huai Shi reached Tier 5, he could directly use the Book of Destiny to be crowned and become the guardian of Heaven. As long as his will reached, he could open a path to Heaven at any time, allowing him to ascend directly on the spot …
It didn't even consider the possibility that Huai Shi was still a newbie.
In order to obtain the approval of the Book of Destiny, one should at least be Tier 5. Otherwise, if his life wasn't tough enough, he would have been destroyed by the great creation that entrusted the fate of the entire utopia to him.
To the outside world, it should be that a Book of Destiny fell from the sky and landed on Huai Shi's body. However, Huai Shi's life was as thin as paper, and he was actually smashed to death by this divine artifact.
At this time, a Tier 1 Ascendant passing by saw this book and determined that it was not an ordinary item. After picking it up, he sighed with emotion. Then, he had a myocardial infarction and died.
When the Tier 2 Ascendant saw this, he was shocked and died from a stroke.
Next, let alone Stage Three or Stage Four, without the permission of the Heavenly Kingdom's lineage master, even a natural enemy would accidentally slip and sink to the bottom of the abyss if they got hold of this thing.
Not everyone was as lucky as that bastard, Zhu Hai, to be able to climb back up after courting death by jumping off the cliff.
However, what made it incredulous was that the Book of Destiny had actually appeared in Huai Shi's hands.
Moreover, it had actually acknowledged his identity without any authority and handed over control to it.
This didn't make sense!
The Book of Destiny wasn't an anonymous credit card that anyone could use as they pleased. This thing's anti-theft measures were so thorough that it was frightening.
It could be said that if the president of the Astronomical Association had not personally entrusted this thing to someone else, then … Wait, the president?
All of a sudden, it seemed to have understood something. Even its handwriting became flattering.
[Brother, you misunderstood! I was just attracted by your shocking talent and admirable talent. I didn't expect you to be so young.
As the saying goes, thirty years on the river surface, thirty years on the river bottom. Don't bully a young man for being poor, right? The future of a young man is really limitless … Maybe you'll be Tier 2 this year, Tier 5 next year, and the year after that, you'll be a natural enemy!]
Huai Shi was shocked. He felt like he had seen this flattering look somewhere before, and he was in disbelief. "Why are you suddenly so affectionate?"
[To tell you the truth, from the moment I saw you, I knew that you were definitely going to be my brother!]
The fragment's cover flickered for a moment before it changed its words. [No, brother, you're my biological brother. Don't you recognize your long-lost brother?]
Sorry, I'm an only child, and I don't have such a strange brother. Thank you.
Huai Shi suppressed his desire to turn around and leave. He took a deep breath and raised his hand, stopping the fragment from talking nonsense.
"Let's get down to business first."
Huai Shi asked, "How do I get you out of this damned place first?"
[… …]
After hesitating for a long time, the fragment could only tell him bluntly, [It's very difficult. Recently, Osiris' final Origin Substance has begun to corrode. You don't have enough ability, so it's impossible for you to transfer it through dreams. You can only make physical contact and contain it.]
After it stopped talking nonsense, it became very efficient.
A map quickly appeared on the cover. It was a detailed cross-section of the Stellaris. At the bottom of the map, there was a red dot.
Huai Shi leaned over and looked at it carefully. "Where is this?"
[The Stellaris Vault … …]
"Goodbye, goodbye!"
Huai Shi cupped his fists and turned around to leave without looking back.
Brother, are you kidding me?
How many valuable things are there on the Stellaris? How much money is in circulation? How many precious materials are there? How many Ascenders are there? How many Tier 4 people are there?
Let alone Tier 4, there are even Tier 5!
That's not how you play the game. I'm just a Tier 2 newbie who hasn't even graduated yet. How am I supposed to fight them?
Even if you want to die, that's not the way to do it!
