Chapter 73: Book of War

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

As he walked around the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository, what he saw was a giant city.

An empire of books!

Many of the books gave birth to their own consciousness. They had their own hands, legs, and features and could speak. When they spoke to one another, they seemed really polite and knowledgeable.

It totally shocked Li Xiandao and opened up a whole new perception of the world to him.

Li Xiandao’s arrival shocked them and two of them surrounded him.

“It is a human!”

“It is a human. 10,000 years have passed, so has the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository finally been opened?”

“Is he our new Master?”

“That might not be the case. Let’s take a look at the situation.”

There were tens of millions of books in this empire. The entire mountain was dug out and there were a full 100 levels. Li Xiandao’s arrival attracted their attention right away.

At that moment, everyone gathered together to look at Li Xiandao.

“I am your new Master!” Li Xiandao looked at them and was unafraid. He said confidently.

“You are our new Master?” A book that was wrapped in ice asked.

It must have been an ice element technique!

“Yes, I am the new Master of the Bank of the Universe and also your new Master.” Li Xiandao nodded his head.

“Has the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository been unsealed?” A slightly yellow book with badly damaged edges asked.

Li Xiandao smiled, “Yes. I have redeemed the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository. From today on, you all can head out of the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository to play around the Bank of the Universe.”

The moment he said this, many of the books started to excitedly show off their skills.

Ice element books froze a region, allowing everyone to ski.

Some fire element books spat out flames which melted the ice, causing it to rain down on the dry roads.

Some wind element books caused a gentle breeze.

The other different element books were all dancing happily, showing off their joy and elation.

Li Xiandao looked at them carefully and didn’t disturb them. He realized that out of the tens of millions of books, only 10,000 of them gave birth to their own consciousness; it was a really low ratio.

These books with minds of their own became members of the empire, each having their own homes. They studied and some even started to date, to marry, and think about how to give birth to new books.

These books lived and played around in the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository without any worry at all. They celebrated Li Xiandao becoming their new Master, dancing and singing to welcome him.

Li Xiandao looked at how happy they were and his mood instantly improved.

This was a new race with no worries at all!

After they were done celebrating, Li Xiandao asked, “Is there a manager here?”

“Yes, the Ten Books of Heaven were the 10 managers before us.” One book answered.

“Ten Books of Heaven?” Li Xiandao asked curiously.

“They were the 10 books that Shi Xiong created a long time ago.” An old book coughed and replied.

“Shi Xiong?” Li Xiandao didn’t understand anything that was being said.

After all, he had transmigrated and was a servant after he appeared in this world. Thus, he knew little about the world; one could even say that he knew nothing.

Shi Xiong created the Ten Books of Heaven a long time ago. The 10 were: Eternal Heaven Book, Book of Taixu, Book of Time, Book of War, Source Dao Book, Death Records, Moral Scroll, Book of Disaster, Guarding against Feelings, and Light of the Gods.” The old book added.

Li Xiandao listened and didn’t say a word.

“These 10 books were collectively regarded as the Ten Books of Heaven. The meaning of which was simple; if you get one, you will be able to fight against the heavens and compete against the earth.” The old book explained.

Li Xiandao understood and asked, “Then, where are the Ten Books of Heaven now?”

“Nine were loaned out and only the Book of War is left in the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository.” The old book sighed.

“Where is the Book of War?” Li Xiandao asked right away.

He looked around and didn’t notice the tracks of the Book of War.

“It is sleeping. Last time after the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository was sealed, no one could enter and we couldn’t go out.

It fell asleep and told us to wake it up when the Ten Thousand Country Book Depository was open.” The old book said.

Li Xiandao was stunned and didn’t expect that the Book of War had such a personality.

“Where is it now?” Li Xiandao asked.

“The highest floor. It slept for 10,000 years and you can go wake it up now.” The old book said.

Li Xiandao nodded his head, “Go do your own things. I will head up to wake it up. As for your daily routines, just stick to what you are doing. I won’t disrupt your way of life.”

Those books, who were used to such a way of life, were at ease when they heard it. Their respect and impression of Li Xiandao improved greatly.

Li Xiandao didn’t want to revolutionalize this place and enact strict rules on them.

After all, they were just a bunch of books that had minds of their own!

They had their own consciousness. After years of studying, evolution, and reading other books, they were far stronger than Li Xiandao.

Even if Li Xiandao had the all-knowing talent, he didn’t really know everything. He needed people to guide him.

Only with someone guiding would he be able to learn quickly.

He said goodbye to the books and walked to the highest floor.

There was only one platform and a book laid was laid on it. It was a really thick book and there was only one huge word written on it.

War!

The moment Li Xiandao saw it, he felt like he was sucked into it.

He saw endless wars!

He saw the sadness of corpses!

He saw the tragedy of rivers made of blood!

He saw the catastrophe of families being broken up!

He saw how terrifying war was!

He also saw how amazing the Book of War was!

In just a short moment, Li Xiandao saw many wars that took place from ancient times till now!

This book was made up of those many different wars!

The Book of War was unlike the other books that showed their hands and legs. It was just a book that laid there silently.

If he hadn’t seen the books that had their own minds previously, Li Xiandao wouldn’t believe that the Book of War would give birth to its own consciousness.

COMMENT

He picked it up and asked caringly, “Have you woken up?”

The Book of War didn’t move at all!

Li Xiandao flipped it open and he saw a bunch of words.

Li Xiandao didn’t even blink and activated the talent, using his omnipotent ability.

He quickly comprehended the techniques within the book.

Any book that could be called a Heaven Book had to be overpowered.

The Book of War was no exception.

If one cultivated it successfully, one’s aura would be like that of an army. The more one fought, the stronger one would get. War songs would also be able to heal one’s injuries.

One would be in the perpetual motion of fighting wars!

Li Xiandao’s first thought wasn’t to cultivate it himself, but to give it to the mini Flame Kings!

There were 10,000 of them and if all of them cultivated it, they would never have to stop fighting!

The Book of War had a larger buff to armies compared to that of an individual.

Just as Li Xiandao was looking at it, a person was suddenly floating behind his back!
