"This is Divine Might. It's the guardian force that suppresses the knowledge of the third level, "the Joy Lady's voice sounded again.
"The third level contains extraordinary knowledge that doesn't belong to mortals. If you want to obtain it, you'll have to pass the test. Otherwise, you'll only be committing suicide," the Joy Lady explained.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and steadied his steps. He slowly walked past the eagle and up the stairs.
When he reached the platform of the third level, the pressure on him gradually eased.
"This is the Extraordinary Level. If you can get a book from here, it will change your life in the real world." The Joy Lady chuckled. "That's the Extraordinary Level," Lady Joy said with a smile. "You're a young fellow with potential. I look forward to your performance."
"Thank you for following me, Teacher Joy." Lu Sheng bowed solemnly at the empty space.
At this point, if he still did not understand the other party's level, he would be a Void Underworld Heavenly Devil in vain.
The existence of the Joy Lady seemed to be a strange concept. He had seen such beings in the Demonic Realm before.
These beings could be infinitely powerful, or they could be extremely weak. They could not be destroyed by physical means. They did not even have a soul.
They were more like a phenomenon. They were an aggregation of the universe itself. They were undying and indestructible.
"What a clever child." The Joy Lady's voice was clearly in a good mood.
Lu Sheng walked along the corridor of the third floor, step by step.
The third level only had one corridor that extended forward. He could not see the end of it.
On both sides of the corridor were tightly shut black metallic doors. All sorts of symbols were carved on the doors.
Some were humanoid, some were plants, animals, stars, the moon, the sun, and some were complicated diagrams.
Soon, Lu Sheng found the category he wanted the most.
The Law Codex Room.
A pitch-black humanoid figure with a pair of wings and horns was carved on the door's door. The door's handle was burning red. It was like a soldering iron, and white smoke was rising from it.
As Lu Sheng was imagining the door, it suddenly jumped out and appeared before him.
"You only have one chance to obtain a book. Child … Every life form can only enter the third level once in their lifetime. You have to think it through, "Joy reminded him again.
"I've made up my mind." Lu Sheng nodded. He reached out and gently grasped the doorknob.
The red-hot handle didn't make him feel any burning pain.
The door opened with a click.
…
…
Germany, Xiulin County, Frost Leaf Town.
The greyish-white town bathed in the morning sun, like a saint's church, glorious and holy.
In a church in the middle of the town.
In the center of the church hall, a pile of blazing golden flames was burning. There were a dozen or so people standing beside the fire. They were all wearing the uniforms of Misca University and another university.
They were all holding white books in their hands, with a golden shield emblem on the cover.
"Dean Tyre, it's done." A tall and thin student wearing glasses whispered to the old man waiting at the side.
"Then let's begin. Reinforce the new Anti-Void Halo, "the old man nodded.
The students in the circle looked at each other and began to read at a faster pace. The cadence of the recitation sounded like a song.
A dazzling golden ring slowly appeared in the middle of the fire.
"We've contacted the Anti-Sequence Elves. Beginning embedding guidance," a student said loudly.
Everyone raised their hands and sprinkled some sort of crystalline powder. The powder seemed to be alive as it danced around the fire. It looked like a beautiful crystal ring in the air.
"Second step, fusion complete. Third step, activate the primordial fire …"
"Bam!"
With a sudden loud noise, the entire fire exploded from the inside. The one-meter-wide fire expanded to more than three meters wide.
The fire engulfed the students standing around it.
"No!"
"Dodge!"
The group was caught off guard. Four of them were engulfed by the fire. In less than a second, their bodies melted in the fire and disappeared without a trace.
"Boom!"
A large hole was blasted open on the floor of the church, and a giant black beetle-like monster quickly arched out. Its body was surrounded by a large number of tiny flies and flying insects, and its body was filled with a foul stench. Its lower limbs were all legs. It looked like a giant octopus on land.
"Return to Chaos!"
The monster roared and pounced at everyone.
Tyre's body ignited with purple flames. He quickly turned into a three-meter-tall purple flame giant. He raised his fist and roared as he faced the monster.
"Go back to the void! Atush! "
"Without the primordial fire, you can't stop me anymore … Tyre." The monster laughed and swung its limbs.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the walls of the entire church exploded outward. A large number of purple flames turned into tentacles and wrapped around the black monster.
But the other students were not so lucky. The purple flames and the monster's brute force caused them to suffer heavy casualties.
The remaining survivors dragged the injured out of the gap in the wall with great difficulty and ran into the distance.
It was not just this place. All the defense points set up by the universities in Germany were attacked at almost the same time.
From outside the planet, it looked like golden flames were constantly lighting up and then slowly dimming and extinguishing.
…
…
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed on the wooden floor.
Bang.
The door of the British Royal Defense Department was slammed open.
Count Cassander, who was wearing a white patterned hat, slammed the desk impatiently. His hawk-like eyes stared at the old man behind the desk.
"What do you have to say about the Earl Tragedy that happened in my territory, honorable minister? You promised to strengthen the police force, but now … "
Bang!
He slammed the desk hard.
"I want a reasonable explanation and plan! Now, immediately! "
"I'm very sorry that such a tragedy happened in your territory," the old minister adjusted his glasses and said slowly.
"But the police force is seriously insufficient now. We don't have more people to deal with these supernatural things. Antonia University and Misca University have sent out all their students, but they still can't stop the spread of the abnormal outbreak. "
"Not enough, far from enough! Aren't there still many students in school? They can still cooperate with the operation! "the Count said seriously.
"No, no, no, that's murder. Mr. Count, you'd better calm down first. Only the freshmen are still in school. They've only attended a semester of classes, and they're far from the point of completing missions. "
"Then let them come out and train. Treat the missions outside as classes! It'll also relieve the pressure on our reinforcements! Even if they're only here to dig holes and build walls! "Count Cassand said with a hint of anger.
"I'll consider your opinion." The old minister nodded slightly.
…
…
Past the library.
Lu Sheng pushed the door open. Inside was a pitch-black statue of a woman with four arms and a veil.
The statue's lower body was a strange, slender, spring-like tail that coiled around the statue to support its huge weight.
"Welcome … cute little boy …" A large amount of hard skin fell off the statue's surface, revealing the smooth white skin underneath.
"I've been here for too long … So long that I've forgotten what I looked like …"
The statue slowly moved its joints and walked closer.
"You have the smell of Misca University on you. They always like to mix the aura of the void with the aura of humans."
Lu Sheng looked behind him. The door that he had just entered was now closed.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The statue waved its four arms.
"I'm the knowledge you're looking for. Many scholars in the universities have tried to perfect me, but in the end, they sealed me because it was too dangerous. Only a few students are allowed to come into contact with me, and they view me as the supreme being. "
She paused.
"I have another name, the Chaos Codex. You might have heard of it. "
Lu Sheng nodded.
"So you're the Chaos Codex …"
"You don't look surprised. Why? I'm alive! Alive! "The statue was surprised by Lu Sheng's calm reaction.
"You just look alive, that's all. You don't have a soul. You're just a machine that performs according to a set pattern, "Lu Sheng said calmly.
"That's true. I'll answer whatever question I encounter. This is my calculation mechanism after I was perfected. I didn't expect you to see through it. "The Chaos Codex nodded in surprise.
"How boring. Since I can't fool you, let's begin. Everything you want is here. Ask away. I can answer three of your questions. "
Lu Sheng looked around the room. He did not see any other entrances or runes.
"I want to know the contents of the fifth and sixth codex!"
"That's easy. That counts as two. What's the third question?" The Chaos Codex continued.
Lu Sheng fell silent.
"The third question. How can I take you away?"
"Tsk tsk tsk … You're so greedy …" The Chaos Codex laughed. "This involves the biggest secret of this university. But I don't mind telling you. Even if you know the name now, you'll forget it once you leave this place."
"Oh? Tell me about it. "Lu Sheng was curious. It sounded like Misca University was hiding some kind of secret.
"Have you heard of the Chaos Core?" The Chaos Codex smiled. "It's a treasure that supports this planet, or even the entire world. It's also a treasure that the Evil Gods want. It represents the line where the old gods are chased out and the new gods rise to rule everything. At the same time, it's my energy core … "
"Chaos Core?" Lu Sheng squinted.
"Yes … It's a part of the world's foundation. Some call it the Proof of Dominance, others call it the Infinity Crystal. Or the origin of the gods. It has many names. It appeared from the beginning of the world. It's a treasure born from the beginning of the universe, "the Chaos Codex explained.
"Born from the beginning of the universe? How does it work? How do you use its power? "Lu Sheng's eyes flashed. "Can you take me to see it? I'm just curious. You know that I'm just a mortal. It won't affect me much even if I take a look. I'll forget it when I leave anyway. "
