Chapter 1568 The Truth About the Great Flood
A surge of excitement welled up in Chen Mu's heart.
Sure enough! My trip wasn't in vain.
The Lake of Fallen Gods guided me here, leading me to the [Library] deep underground. It was definitely worth the trip.
Chen Mu looked at the bookshelves on both sides, which extended forward and were gradually submerged in golden light.
The bookshelves extend upwards by hundreds of meters, reaching the height of thirty or forty stories!
Books are neatly stacked on these shelves. The collection is vast and abundant.
Between the two rows of bookshelves, there is a golden road about 2 meters wide that extends for hundreds of meters until it is submerged in golden light.
As Chen Mu stepped onto this road, bursts of golden light surged forward, guiding him to move forward.
However, Chen Mu did not move forward immediately.
His gaze fell on the towering bookshelves on both sides.
"The things in here must be treasures. I wonder what information is written in these books."
With that thought in mind, Chen Mu decided to casually flip through a couple of books.
Ignoring the golden light, he turned and walked toward the bookshelf on the left.
Arriving at the bookshelf, I saw that the spines of the books were covered with runes that I couldn't understand.
Chen Mu reached out his hand, wanting to take out a book to look at.
However, just as his hand was about to touch the book, a golden wall of air blocked the spine.
Chen Mu tried two or three books, and they were all the same.
It felt as if there was an invisible wall separating the bookshelf from me.
Make yourself able to look, but not take.
You can only see the spine of the book; you can't see the contents inside.
"Tch~ So stingy."
Chen Mu finally understood that these two rows of bookshelves were either deliberately kept from him, or they didn't want him to know what was inside;
Either it contains no content and is merely an art piece used to appear knowledgeable, or it's empty; taking it yourself would only reveal that it's a blank book.
Chen Mu suddenly realized that this invisible wall only existed inside the bookshelf, used to separate the books.
Does that mean I can just move the bookshelf away?
Anyway, there's no invisible wall blocking the way outside the bookshelf. Why not just use my spatial ring to suck it all up with a single stroke?
The underlying principle is similar to "I can't get the gold-plated item from the safe, but I can move the safe with me."
Emmmm......
Chen Mu assessed the feasibility. If he really moved both rows of bookshelves, the Lake of Fallen Gods would probably be in a panic.
Well, it's my first time here, and I haven't gotten to know everyone yet, so I'll give the Lake of Fallen Gods some face.
I imagine that my honesty in returning lost property will make the Lake of Fallen Gods very pleased.
What? You're asking where I found the lost money?
Mr. Chen could have moved the bookshelf, but out of conscience, he chose not to.
I could take it but I didn't, which is equivalent to actively turning off the "auto-pickup" function in the game. Isn't that the mark of a good young person who "returns lost property"?
Chen Mu turned around and walked back onto the Golden Avenue.
He discovered that the golden light on the road had become even brighter, and the prompts were even more urgent.
Is the Lake of Fallen Gods worried that I'll move the bookshelves, so it's in a hurry to increase the warnings, trying to prevent me from ruining those books?
Chen Mu said to the Lake of Fallen Gods, "Look, it's urgent again."
Seemingly realizing they were in a bit of a rush, as Chen Mu walked back to the main road, the Lake of Fallen Gods quietly dimmed its lights, making it seem less urgent.
Following the direction indicated by the golden light, Chen Mu walked forward step by step.
After walking about 500 meters, the golden avenue came to an end.
At the end of the golden avenue, a white light enveloped the area, obscuring its contents from the outside.
Chen Mu had a premonition that everything the Lake of Fallen Gods wanted to tell him was contained within this ball of white light.
He stepped forward and walked into the white light.
Surrounded by white light, a golden book floats silently in mid-air.
Behind the book, there was another figure, with his back to Chen Mu.
It was the back view of a woman, or more precisely, a slender, somewhat young-looking girl.
Could this be the image of the Lake of Fallen Gods?
Chen Mu thought to himself, "This ancient powerful being is actually a beautiful girl? What a contrast!"
However, having seen too many ups and downs, Chen Mu wasn't too surprised that the Lake of Fallen Gods was inhabited by a beautiful girl; in fact, he found it quite normal.
The moment this thought popped into Chen Mu’s head, he suddenly felt that the figure looked familiar.
I feel like I've seen this figure somewhere before...
But when Chen Mu was asked to think about it suddenly, he couldn't come up with anything.
At this moment, the girl who had her back to Chen Mu finally spoke: "Chen Mu, you've finally arrived."
The information you want to know is written in the book in front of you.
To find the answer, open it; perhaps your worldview will be refreshed.
As Chen Mu listened to the other person's voice, he felt more and more that he had heard it somewhere before.
For the time being, I just couldn't remember.
It's not really appropriate to ask the other party now.
Chen Mu's gaze shifted from the figure's back to the floating book.
"Is everything I want to know in this book?"
Chen Mu knew that the greatest reward from this trip to the Lake of Fallen Gods was about to appear.
The contents of this book might refresh my worldview?
Could it be that something has happened in this world that I don't know about?
The crisis that occurred a month later was very likely related to this.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu didn't hesitate. He stepped forward and took the floating golden book in his hand.
Chen Mu originally thought that this book would be ancient and weighty, with a substantial feel when held in his hands.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Mu held it in his hand, he felt that the texture was strange.
The book is not thick or old-fashioned at all; on the contrary, it has a light and thin feel to it.
Holding it in my hand, its design even looks somewhat modern.
Chen Mu glanced at it and, for some reason, the book had a kind of delicate, feminine feel to it.
However, considering that the figure in front of me is the back of a young woman, the Lake of Fallen Gods might be a beautiful girl.
Thinking about it that way, a thin and elegant book seems to suit her personality quite well.
Chen Mu opened the book, and the handwriting inside was equally elegant, as if it were written by a woman.
The handwriting is neat and elegant, but the information it contains is anything but neat and elegant.
The very first sentence was a bolt from the blue for Chen Mu!
The great flood of ancient mythology has never been truly resolved.
Chen Mu read it twice before he was sure he hadn't misread it.
What the hell?
I know about the Great Flood, but wasn't it resolved? Otherwise, how could humanity have enjoyed millions of years of peace?
What do you mean by "never truly resolved"? Does it mean that... the great flood of ancient times has been delayed until now?
Chen Mu thought about the crisis that Wangjiang Shouwang would face a month later.
Could the crisis a month later really be related to the great flood of ancient times?
Is a repeat of the great flood?
