Wow~~~
Xia Chuan's gaze fell to the ground, where a golden spot of light suddenly appeared. His attention snapped to it just in time to witness it flying upward, racing toward him. Before he could react, the golden light sank deep into his sea of consciousness.
The tiny golden speck immediately merged with his soul, expanding at an astonishing rate, soon forming a golden book. The book was intricately covered with mysterious runes that seemed to pulse with immense power, as though it contained the sum total of all knowledge in the world.
"The Book of Wisdom!" Xia Chuan's heart skipped a beat, realization crashing into him like a wave. This was no ordinary book—it was a treasure of unimaginable value, a world-altering artifact.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Chuan's consciousness was flooded with a series of messages:
World Prop: The Book of Wisdom.
Ability 1: Omniscience. It can identify all objects, even creatures and objects previously unknown, and understand all languages.
Ability 2: Divine-level comprehension. Holding this book grants divine-like comprehension, enabling you to learn anything.
Ability 3: Super-divine computing power. It contains immense computational capabilities, surpassing even the gods, able to predict countless futures from known information. Holding the book makes you the god of wisdom.
"This..." Xia Chuan felt a rush of awe. He had never imagined he would possess such a powerful item, one so divine it might as well have come from the heavens themselves.
"Host."
At that moment, a voice emanated from the book—an almost sentient voice, filled with purpose.
"What are you, and what are these world props?" Xia Chuan couldn't help but ask, his mind racing. He was just a young man in his twenties from Xuanhuangxing—how could he possibly understand such an otherworldly phenomenon? The book before him seemed to transcend the boundaries of any artifact he'd ever heard of, almost akin to a mythical treasure.
"The world props are powerful treasures naturally birthed by this world," the Book of Wisdom explained in a calm, authoritative voice. "Each world prop possesses extraordinary powers, capable of disrupting the world's balance. They defy many of the world's conventions and embody the ultimate powers here."
Xia Chuan's mind buzzed with this new knowledge. It seemed that even in this miniature world, immense power resided in these treasures. The beings here, though small, wielded abilities that defied their size, simply by mastering the world props. Those who controlled these treasures could shape nations and create invincible forces.
"How did you enter my mind?" Xia Chuan asked, the weight of the situation sinking in.
"This occurred because the mortals sacrificed me to you," the book explained, its tone almost matter-of-fact. "They saw you as a god—an ancient god. In their faith, they offered me to you. The golden lines you saw are the power of their devotion."
Xia Chuan blinked, trying to process the words. How could he, an ordinary person from Xuanhuangxing, be considered a god? But as he considered it, a realization struck him. Perhaps in comparison to these miniature beings, his presence was godlike. They saw him as a towering, unimaginable force of power. If an ancient giant were to appear in Xuanhuangxing, ordinary people might react in much the same way.
"But does this world also possess extraordinary powers, like martial arts or cultivation?" Xia Chuan asked eagerly. The idea of transcending his human limits was tempting. If he could harness these powers, perhaps he could become extraordinary in his own world.
"Indeed," replied the Book of Wisdom. "There are various cultivation methods in this world. Warriors practice to gain strength far beyond ordinary mortals. By mastering these methods, you can embark on a transcendent path, extend your lifespan, and attain godlike power."
Xia Chuan felt a spark of excitement. The thought of becoming a warrior in this world—of wielding strength like the miniature humans—was tantalizing.
"The lowest rank is the bronze warrior," the book continued, detailing the cultivation system. "They possess the strength of nine bulls and two tigers. The next rank, the silver warrior, can move a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. The golden warrior practices Qi and can leap a hundred steps in the air. Beyond that, diamond warriors possess indestructible bodies, impervious to blades, immune to poisons, and can live for two hundred years."
Xia Chuan's mind raced. If he could learn these practices, could he become like them? Just the thought of being a bronze warrior—with the strength of nine bulls and two tigers—was enough to ignite his ambition. In his world, he could become a martial arts master beyond comparison.
