Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 275 - Chaos Stones!

"Do you need something?" The librarian felt someone looking at him, so he stopped reading his book and looked up, only to see that it was the genius reader, Mr. Elliot. He wondered what he came here for and didn't hesitate to ask if he wanted something from him or not.

Elliot blinked his eyes, and while looking at the librarian, he said, "Yes, I am bothered by a question, and I was wondering if you could hear me out."

Elliot only had one question to ask, and that was about the first thing he was on the second floor of the library.

"Go on and ask about it," the librarian said with a kind-hearted smile.

"The monument on the second-floor, are there more like it?" He asked.

Elliot instinctively felt that it was related to him and might very well be the truth behind his superpowers. If it indeed was, then he needed to gain more information about it. Only that way would he gain a better understanding of his power and learn new ways of using it.

His question didn't come as a shock to the librarian.

"The monument is better known as chaos stone. Legend has it that the divine race split their home from the universe and named their place heaven. We don't know where heaven is and how it looks like from the inside or the outside. We don't even know if there is any way to reach it. But we do know that it exists because one day, huge holes appeared in the boundless, and sixteen chaos stones came down from heaven; no one knows why, but everyone believes that with all of them in their hands, they would find the way to Heaven! Some say that by reaching heaven, a person can discover what made the divine race so unbelievable strong and become a divine himself. Some say that the key to becoming the best civilization lies in heaven! Some also believe that the key to owning the universe is present in heaven. That's why many people and cultures are trying to gather the sixteen chaos stones. However, even after ten thousand years, only half of them got found. Where the rest are, no one knows. But there are many rumors about where they could be. Still, I advise you to not believe in rumors because they can be pretty ugly and put your life in an ugly mess or even make you face the threat of death."

The librarian was not only a face-con but also a talent-con. He found Elliot to his liking, and as he was also extremely intelligent, the librarian found him even more impressive. So it wasn't suspicious that he warned him and also told him about the chaos stones that many civilizations didn't want to be known by others and would rip off a considerable sum of money to sell information about it.

"Thanks for the heads up."

Elliot wasn't an idiot. He clearly understood what the librarian said to him. First off, looking for the chaos stone was the same as entering dirty waters. Secondly, most people spread fake rumors about the chaos stone to lure rich people to the urn, a trap which they specifically prepare to loot others or kill them!

The universe was a dangerous place!

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Elliot nodded and said, "Farewell."

"Bye." The librarian waved his hand back at him.

Elliot started walking towards the nearest portal generator. He had a lot on his plate. So, he couldn't look for the chaos stones. He first needed to stop the invasion of the demonic gods and make his race become so strong that they would be able to overcome the threat of sudden annihilation without him being next to them. To make that possible, he needed to do a lot of things. And only after making sure of that and getting endless resources, a spaceship, and a hell of many powerful people who would be loyal to him can he venture into the space and search for the chaos stones. Furthermore, some of the chaos stones belonged to high-class civilizations like the spirit race. He wasn't even sure whether they would let him see it or not.

He was uncertain about a lot of things. But for now, he could only return home, do his best to become a member of the resistance and establish a good connection with the spirit race.

The library of the spirit race had many portals in and outside of it. Going outside wasn't a choice for Elliot. He knew that inside, the time difference between here and back home was 100:1. He didn't know how much time would pass if he stepped out of this formation. Although he had to wait in line and also pay several thousand spirit points to use the teleport, he didn't regret it. When he had arrived here, the teleportation system automatically recorded the place from where he came from, and it became helpful to him. He didn't know the coordinates of the spirit forest or even the housing zone, so he used the ones given to him by the system to return to the place where Lucy and the others were staying.

He appeared just outside the gates of the library!

___

A few days later, Theo Rose and John led them to the entrance of a temple in the center of the housing district.

"Go straight in, and you guys will find the queen," Theo said.

"What about you guys?"

"We will be waiting outside."

John and Theo had no intention of meeting the queen today.

Elliot, Lucy, and the little spirit beasts could only split up with them and head inside.

"Remember, do not be disrespectful to her, or you will invite a disaster on your head."

John said those words when they reached in front of the door.. Lucy and the spirit beast took his words seriously, while Elliot took his words lightly.
