Chapter 180 Second Authority Transfer, Grandmaster You Qingxiang
I'd love to!
Modi was naturally happy to accept Akagi's proposal to transfer the second authority.
But he ultimately held back and calmly asked, "So, what is the price?"
"The price..." Akashi rubbed his chin, conjuring up an agreement out of thin air. "This is the price."
Modi took the agreement and glanced at it.
The projected agreement was densely covered with text, with no patterns around it, no small print between the lines, and no extra text on the back.
The divination revealed no anomalies, so it's almost certain that this agreement is without flaws.
After reviewing it once, Modi roughly understood the contents of the agreement.
It's nothing more than normal restrictions such as not allowing the use of the Heavenly Book to harm innocent people or to massacre living beings.
As for the rest, there are no restrictions. Even if he monopolizes all the functions of the Heavenly Book and uses it to build up his power and become stronger, it doesn't matter.
This agreement is linked to the Heavenly Book AI. Once signed, it is recognized by the Heavenly Book and cannot be canceled unless the user obtains a higher level of access.
Will Modric sign this agreement? This agreement that restricts him?
"I'll sign."
He outlined his spiritual consciousness and swiftly signed the name of the Blood God Child on the agreement.
With this, the agreement took effect, and Modi could feel a certain constraint on him... limited to this Blood God Child.
He dared not gamble everything he had, even though the contract seemed to have no traps.
The Blood Nerve can not only cultivate Blood God Children, but each Blood God Child can also have its own unique name.
Take his current one, for example; his name is "Hydra".
In addition, the names of Blood God Child are also varied, including Blue Road, Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God, Paradox Interactive War Criminal, Asakusa Renkawa, etc.
The Hydralisk is a relatively proper one.
Once he destroys this Blood God Child, the agreement will automatically become invalid, and he will also lose the second authority transferred by Chi Chengzi.
"We need to find a way to gain primary access and thoroughly investigate the secrets of the Heavenly Book."
After the second level of access was transferred, he could feel that there was a new connection between himself and the AI.
Modi revealed a subtle expression as he watched the divine thoughts left behind by Chi Chengzi gradually dissipate.
Chi Chengzi smiled slightly, "My duties are complete, it's about time I left. Ask me anything now."
"Senior Chichengzi, what is the Celestial Realm? How is it achieved?"
Before this, Mo Di had no idea that the realm after Grandmaster was called "Celestial Being".
It seems that apart from Chi Chengzi, no one has ever broken through to the Celestial Realm, nor has anyone been able to transcend the boundary and ascend.
"The Celestial Realm, as the name suggests, is 'the unity of heaven and man.' Every gesture carries the power of heaven and earth, enough to command the world."
Seeing that his time was running out, Chi Chengzi quickly explained, "Breaking through to the Celestial Realm is quite simple. Just achieve 'My heart is the heart of Heaven, my will is the will of Heaven,' and that's enough."
"To put it bluntly, it's about 'refining the spirit,' suppressing heaven and earth with one's own will. Oh, by the way, according to my calculations, there can only be one Celestial Realm expert in an era."
"Just like two tigers cannot share one mountain, once there are two or more Celestial Realm cultivators, their wills will clash, and a conflict will inevitably break out. Therefore, it is best to wait until the previous Celestial Realm cultivator breaks through and leaves before attempting a breakthrough."
At this point, Chi Chengzi looked down and saw that his body below the neck had completely dissipated, and said:
"Now that we have said this, young man, since you have been able to make your way to the top of the tower, given time, you may well be able to break through to the Celestial Realm. When you break through the boundary and leave, you may be able to find me in some other world."
"Then we'll drink and chat again."
With a carefree smile, Chi Chengzi transformed into countless tiny, sparkling particles of light and vanished completely.
Only Modi remained standing atop the vast tower, surrounded by blue-patterned AI spheres.
"Let's drink and chat..."
Perhaps that day will never come. After all, the worlds are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and to encounter an individual without any markers is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Modi quickly put the matter out of his mind and turned to studying the permissions he had just acquired.
"First, withdraw the kill order against me."
He wore a strange smile and lightly swiped his finger.
The patterns on the top of the tower shone even brighter, and his will flowed throughout the city along with the data.
In area A01, both Grandmasters and Blood God Child stopped fighting.
"Notice: The warrant for the individual 'Styx' is hereby lifted. All units are prohibited from attacking this individual. To reiterate..."
"How...how could this be?"
Dugu Sheng raised an eyebrow, his heart filled with confusion and surprise, just like the other grandmasters.
The grassland master silently withdrew his hand and left without saying a word.
Huangfu Chong gripped the gun barrel tightly, glaring angrily at the Blood River. The Blood River completely ignored them, carrying the Blood God Children forward, rushing towards the giant tower.
Several grandmasters naturally saw them in front of the giant tower and heard the broadcast from earlier.
"Master of Subtlety, what do you think?" Zhang Kuning narrowed his eyes.
The tower gates swung open, and a surging river of blood poured into them. This sight made his heart skip a beat, and he felt a stirring within him.
"Your Majesty, of course I watched it standing up."
A strange glint flashed in the eyes of the master of subtlety, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
Seeing that Zhang Kuning was staring intently at the giant tower, he guessed what he was thinking and advised:
"Your Majesty, that Daoist Styx was able to force the AI to withdraw the kill order, so he must be no ordinary person. We'd better not test his strength. Perhaps we can wait for someone else to be the first to act."
Zhang Kuning completely concealed his inner thoughts and agreed, saying, "Master Jingwei is absolutely right."
The civil and military officials beside him lowered their heads, their eyes darting around as they pondered how to incite others to test the waters.
The masters are not honest; they have their own demands, even here.
Modi understood this principle; even if he had the second authority, he could not arbitrarily erase the Grandmasters here.
These masters were not entirely individuals controlled by him.
Their own souls, combined with the rune data flow of the Heavenly Book, form the bodies they use today, and their essence is very different from that of the grandmasters in the outside world.
It retains its self-awareness without being completely controlled by the Heavenly Book's AI. Perhaps this is a method left by Chi Chengzi to prevent the Heavenly Book from enslaving future generations.
"These special individuals who have retained the power of a Grandmaster, if used properly, will be a force to be reckoned with."
Perhaps he could use these individual Grandmasters to create a Cursed Legion like Old Man Huang did, or something like a Hall of Heroes.
At the top of the tower, Modi used his access privileges to retrieve the internal documents he could access.
Most of the Blood God's children were sent to various parts of the giant tower to study this 388-story tower, with only a few accompanying him in the search.
"Hmm... I can't understand the celestial runes."
A girl dressed in gothic attire with shoulder-length blonde hair stuck out her tongue and gave up on the pointless search.
"I'm very curious, since Chi Chengzi couldn't understand the Heavenly Book runes, how did he modify it back then? Could it be that the so-called Realm of Heaven and Man can distort reality to some extent?"
"According to the information left by Chi Chengzi, the Celestial Realm should be similar to the Seed of the Mind, capable of rewriting reality with one's own will. In other words, he did indeed forcibly tamper with the Heavenly Book by relying on an ability similar to the power of my thoughts."
Modi selected a few documents from the database that were not recorded in celestial runes. Besides Chi Chengzi's cultivation method, there were also his insights on breaking through to the Celestial Realm.
"Chi Chengzi is worthy of the title of Martial Ancestor of this Realm."
"My reasoning... So, everyone in the Celestial Realm is green-skinned?"
A girl named "Lanlanlu" with a tomato and scrambled egg color scheme complained, "Now that you mention it, it feels like the Celestial Realm's prestige has dropped a lot."
A Blood God Child, sporting a donkey's head and calling himself "P-Company War Criminal," interjected:
"The results of the experiment are in. 'Language proficiency' is ineffective against the Heavenly Book runes. It is a script with special powers, just like the Dragon Language."
"I knew it." Mordy sighed, "There are limits to language proficiency; we must develop new translation spells."
"Translation spells aren't easy to develop; they involve the mental level. Let's tackle the celestial runes first. We need the computational power of the law to decipher these runes."
The speaker was a girl with long, straight black hair. She was known as the "Prophet" and was wearing a white crop top with black hot pants and a black trench coat. Her expression looked somewhat timid.
"Elena has already brought in computing power. You all stay here and continue deciphering. I'll go talk to those grandmasters down below first."
After the red-robed Taoist finished speaking, he disappeared into the data stream containing the celestial runes.
In area A01, inside a modern-style pub, the masters gathered in small groups, all discussing the same thing.
This refers to the "Tower Coup" that happened not long ago.
Some of the masters who hadn't participated looked puzzled and asked the participants what had happened.
Some participants took advantage of the information to make transactions, exchanging "online time" from others.
Zhang Kuning and his ministers sat together, which, in the eyes of outsiders, was undoubtedly against etiquette for the emperor and his ministers to sit together.
But they were already dead, so we didn't care anymore.
"Your Majesty, I have already found out," a civil official said in a low voice, "Dugu Sheng, Bi Ri, and the newly arrived Huangfu Chong were surrounded by the Styx Daoist when they went to besiege him."
"The root cause seems to be that Daoist Styx mastered some kind of special technique."
"Special technique? How special?" Zhang Kuning swirled the red liquid in his wine glass.
He had changed into a suit and looked like a social elite... much more understated than in that dragon robe.
The civil and military officials around him were also dressed in black suits, burly and robust, wearing gold chains and sunglasses, looking more like a group of mafia members.
"As far as I know, Daoist Styx seems to be able to create dozens or even hundreds of avatars. Each avatar has the essence of the unity of spirit and body. Although they are weak, they are surprisingly troublesome and have caused great trouble for Dugu Sheng and the other two."
As the civil official spoke, he sent out a message recorded in his mind.
This divine thought recorded exactly what Huangfu Chong saw and heard.
Zhang Kuning and the others slightly widened their eyes and saw the blood river surging wildly. People with different appearances used all their methods to make the grandmasters who came to besiege them suffer greatly.
"These are records that I obtained from Huangfu Chong. Your Majesty, please take a look. These are all Daoists from the Styx River. They all seem to have come from the outside world."
"So, Daoist Styx has mastered a passage to leave the world of the Heavenly Book?" Zhang Kuning pondered.
The civil official nodded. "That's right. Besides, Huangfu Chong has also spread rumors that he seems interested in joining our 'Qian Gang'."
"I've heard that the kid was a general in the Great Qian Dynasty before he died."
A military officer said in a deep voice, "He seems to have been killed by the Styx Taoist."
At this moment, the Master of Subtlety, wearing a leather jacket, approached and said with a mysterious smile, "Are you talking about that Daoist Styx?"
Master Jingwei was already quite close to the Qian Gang, so everyone was used to it, and Zhang Kuning even took the initiative to invite him to sit down.
"Among the grandmasters present, I'm afraid there isn't a single one who isn't talking about this," Zhang Kuning said with a smile.
"Indeed," the Master of Subtlety naturally took his seat, "but I have another piece of news: Grandmaster You Qingguo has emerged from seclusion."
"Oh? The Grandmaster has actually emerged from seclusion at this time, could it be...?"
"
Before Zhang Kuning could finish speaking, the tavern door creaked open, and a burly figure walked in.
An invisible aura enveloped the entire tavern, and all the masters who were discussing the matter fell silent and turned to look at the door in unison.
An elderly man dressed in a full suit, wearing a dark overcoat, leaning on a cane, with his silver hair flowing back and wearing sunglasses, stood upright at the door.
Colorful lights, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, shone on him. Within the lights, a dragon composed of data streams descended from the sky, encircling his neck and transforming into a dragon that stretched over his shoulders.
At the same time, a powerful melody began to play, seemingly a very new song.
Staring intently.
"This...this is an entrance effect and background music that requires tens of thousands of online time points to purchase?!"
The sound of gasping echoed throughout the tavern, and because the masters generally had lung capacities far exceeding those of ordinary people, the entire tavern suddenly became quite cold.
In a corner of the tavern, Huangfu Chong was stunned by the man's extravagance. "Who is so wasteful?"
He looked up and saw a line of large, colorful characters on the person's head, the colors of which kept changing.

"It's him?! You Qingguo!"
At the tavern entrance, You Qingguo smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with everyone's performance.
"I am a wanderer in Qingguo, and I have met you all."
"We have met the Grandmaster."
The group of masters, who should have been unruly, behaved themselves better than the last when they saw him.
Even the most arrogant Emperor Qianlong bowed his head slightly before him.
"There's no need for such formalities, everyone."
You Qingxiang slightly raised his hand, and the grandmasters felt an invisible force lifting them up.
This kind of public display of power is something they used to do on others in the past.
This is the first time someone has used this technique on me.
You Qingxiang has become even stronger.
Zhang Kuning's expression darkened slightly. He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked:
"Grandmaster, has something to discuss with us today?"
"It wasn't me," You Qingguo waved her hand, "it was this young friend."
After saying that, he casually found a place to sit down, and the tavern door opened again.
A Taoist priest in a red robe walked in, a youthful smile on his face.
