Chapter 855: Chapter 406: Polar Star Association Branch, The Stars Demon’s Eyeball Heart

[You hold the "Teleportation Badge" and step forward, approaching the starry mural that occupies the entire wall.]

[You reach out to touch the twinkling, luminous stars painted on the canvas...]

[Suddenly, an immense suction force comes forth; the mural ripples like the surface of water, and without resistance, you allow your body to be pulled into the painting...]

[Transporting...]

[...]

[...]

[Transport Successful!]

[You open your eyes to find yourself in a strange room. Looking out from a window, you see the cold, dark void speckled with countless beautiful stars...]

[Behind you, on the wall, hangs a small painting, its canvas completely blank. You immediately realize that by touching the painting, you could return to "Dexter Manor".]

[You discover a book placed on the desk inside the room...]

[You approach the desk and begin to peruse the book...]

[The book contains records by "Star Favored" about the destruction of the other two strongholds in the Second Capital...]

[Reading the familiar script of your own recording, fragmented memories within the Shell begin to resurface...]

[This room is a gathering place for the controllers of the three strongholds of "Nottos" in the Second Capital, but it has now become your private chamber.]

[Because the controllers of the other two strongholds are already dead.]

[Nottos is close to the Imperial City "Saint Etienne", where the powers of both the Direct View School and Polyvision School are incredibly strong, far surpassing those in the remote borders.]

[Scholars uncovered the other two strongholds in the Second Capital, and unsurprisingly eradicated them root and branch.]

[Powerful followers of the Stars had their eyes gouged out and were executed on the spot, while the weaker ones were imprisoned and subjected to cruel punishments...]

[The great "Bright Stars", omnipotent as they might be, were also deeply wary of that despicable servant of knowledge and could not descend to intervene.]

[Otherwise, the heretics of the schools loyal to the Evil God "Almighty True Knowledge" would have been wiped out long ago!]

[The Executor once said that although the organization is now hidden in darkness, this is but the darkness before dawn, and soon those who chase after the stars will welcome the brightest morning light.]

[The fragmented memories stop abruptly there.]

Lin Xun frowned after reading the memories.

He remembered that when he first drew from the "Book of the Favored" in Chapter four, the servant of the knowledge god had mentioned that there were many human warriors who followed "Almighty True Knowledge" in the war of the gods.]

Warrior followers grew stronger through the flames of war, ascending to demigods, and even becoming gods. The rewards in the "Book of the Favored" were for those followers who made outstanding contributions in the war of the gods.]

But according to the memory of the "Star Favored", it seems that the Stars were only afraid of the "knowledge god servant".]

So the question arises, where are those human warrior followers who have become gods now?]

Lin Xun had seen the statues of the Omniscient, the statues of the Stars, and even met other Star Gods, but he had never encountered a human god from the "Omniscience" faction, not even in legends.]

If those gods were still around, it would be impossible not to have even one statue of them.]

"...Could they all have perished?"

"It shouldn’t be. Almighty True Knowledge was the victor of the god wars. Even the defeated Stars have not been completely annihilated; how could the winners all be gone?"]

He could not help but recall the plot of the "Dark Dragon Knight" he had experienced before.]

The Dragon Knight and its steed were imprisoned and oppressed by chains inscribed with characters, ultimately dying in a dark underground cavern.]

The knowledge characters on those chains definitely weren’t the work of the Stars.]

And according to what the "Green Half-Dragon" had said about legends, [each ancestor of the Dragon Clan, in accordance with the covenant with the True God ’Almighty True Knowledge’, sealed most of their powers and took all their descendants into hiding in the mountains and forests...]]

All the clues seemed to make sense now: "when the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbits are dead, the hound is cooked"...]

"If that’s really the case, then ’Almighty True Knowledge’ truly is an undoubted Evil God."]

As someone who had already switched allegiances once and become a defector, Lin Xun did not know what face to make. Even if he learned that "Almighty True Knowledge" was an Evil God, he could only see this through to the end; there was no chance for him to switch sides again.]

As it stood, the attitude of the knowledge god servant towards him was much better than that of the Stars...]

[You have gained 5,000 Knowledge. Current Knowledge: 40,800/37,800]]

[Your knowledge has surpassed the threshold, you have touched the extraordinary, and once again glimpsed "Almighty True Knowledge"...]

[You have not been summoned by the "Temple of Knowledge", unable to enter the "Temple of Knowledge"!]]

[Your soul is filled with disordered, ceaseless knowledge, and you begin to lose yourself in the sea of knowledge.]]

[Your sanity drifts away as madness takes over your mind.]]

[Your head explodes with a resounding blast...]]

[You have died!]]

"..."

"Just entered the branch, hadn’t even left the room, and my head explodes..."]

"But it’s also been a while since my head exploded; that’s the stuff!"]

After several increases in Knowledge, unknowingly, his Knowledge had once again exceeded the limit.]

The Wandering Soul was resurrected in "Blackwater Prison" after revival, using a point of Soul Strength to clear the Chaos from his soul, and then using another point to reforge the Shell of the "Star Favored".]

[The disordered Knowledge within your soul has been cleansed!]

[You have received the effect "Blessing of Knowledge +7"; your Knowledge capacity has increased again, current Knowledge: 0/40,800]]

It took Lin Xun quite some effort to return to the manor.]
