Chapter 738 - 30: World Destroyer (4,300 Words)
"Alright, enough with the idle talk."
The tone of Deng returned to its usual lazy control, a gentle swipe of her finger, and a gigantic book with a starry haze cover floated out from the bookshelf, suspended before Yun You, exuding an immense aura.
"Next, the arrangement I have for you is simple. You will cultivate in the Cosmic Library. There are countless universes here serving as your training grounds, countless civilizations’ rise and fall as your experience packs... and soul deduction models I’ve compiled as your textbooks."
"Explore every possibility, exhaust every path, until your soul truly touches that limit—breaking through to Tier Eight, thereby becoming invincible."
Yun You was stunned by this grand blueprint, but on closer thought, it seemed that Deng, who completely controlled the Cosmic Library, truly possessed such ability.
"Then... how long does it take to break through to Tier Eight?"
She asked habitually, feeling somewhat uneasy inside, for rising in power, especially such breakthroughs from nothing, often isn’t a simple matter.
Deng tilted her head, her silver-gray short hair slightly swinging with her movement, calculating for a while before casually replying, "Hmm... a conservative estimate would be around three hundred years?"
"If you have high perception, resources stack aggressively, and you push hard yourself, one hundred years is not impossible."
Deng’s tone remained as relaxed as usual, as if discussing the duration of a vacation.
"A hundred years... three hundred years?"
Yun You was slightly stunned.
Her life till now, at most calculations, was less than twenty years, what concept was a hundred years or even three hundred years?
If truly staying in this secluded library for three hundred years, wouldn’t the outside world turn over completely? Uncle Akas... Brother Chen Zaikun, and those senior brothers and sisters still in a coma, what would happen to them? And that chaotic real world, how many unforeseen events would take place?
"Too long! I can’t wait!"
Yun You shook her head firmly.
"I must go back! Now!"
She turned wanting to leave, searching for a way to escape the library.
"Tsk, what’s the rush."
Deng sighed helplessly, with a tone of "I knew this would happen."
She didn’t even get up to stop her, just leaned against the recliner, swinging her small legs, speaking slowly, "Save your energy, little Yun You. Why do you think I specifically brought you here and talked so much nonsense to you?"
She took her cup of star dust drink, sipping slowly, before casually explaining, "Don’t be so shocked. Long time? That’s because you haven’t truly understood the Tier Seven level of power."
"I just mentioned, even within Tier Seven, there’s a huge gap."
She raised a finger, "You’re just touching the threshold of Tier Seven now, having power but not its essence, your soul control is rough, like a child wielding a divine weapon, impressive in momentum, but far from the zero realm of Human-Artifact Unity."
"To break through to Tier Eight, with your current soul strength and self-control, you’re far from qualified, pushing forcibly will only shatter yourself to pieces, leaving not even remnants."
Deng put down her hand, leaned slightly forward, looking into Yun You’s eyes, her tone more serious.
"Conservatively estimated, just solidifying your foundation, polishing your soul to withstand impact, raising your power control to Tier Seven Peak, will take decades of effort, don’t even think about it. This is still based on your extraordinary talent... ample resources, and my personal guidance."
She spread her hands, once more wearing that relaxed smile like "it’s no big deal."
"Moreover, what’s the rush to go back? What’s so worth remembering outside in that mess, staying here with me is so much better."
Deng raised her hand, casually snapped her fingers.
"Snap~"
With a crisp sound, the scenery around Yun You changed magically. The cold space made up of endless books rippled like water waves, quickly replaced by an abundant and lively scene.
A vast expanse bloomed with glowing flowers extended beneath her feet, the air filled with a refreshing fragrance. In the distance, crystal-clear streams trickled by, the shores lined with enticing fruit-laden trees.
Further away, you could see a shimmering... sea like liquid blue sapphire, even the sky no longer the library’s dome but a night sky dotted with gentle stars.
A gigantic, warm glowing moon hung on the skyline.
"Look!"
Deng’s voice carried a touch of pride, seemingly very pleased with her aesthetics.
"Isn’t this environment ten thousand times better than your broken Nest City? Want to read, the library itself is ’over there’..."
She pointed to a direction, where rows of giant bookshelf shadows reaching to the stars could vaguely be seen.
"Endless knowledge for you to browse. Want to relax? Hunt a bit, fish a bit, pick fruits, soak in a hot spring."
Her fingers tapped repeatedly, hot spring pools steaming rose at the edge of the plain, a few adorable furry beasts scampered through the woods, large fish with beautiful scales leapt across the sea.
"All entertainment facilities available, promise they don’t fall short compared to your reality world relying on virtual illusions and chemical bliss."
"And also..."
Deng raised her eyebrows.
Her tone carried a hint of deliberate "warmth."
