Hearing these words from Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards, Klein, who knew that Lin Ruo wanted to find a book but was previously completely ignorant of its contents, naturally wore a surprised expression.
After all, both the nobles of the Solomon Empire and the soldiers of the Loen Kingdom were clearly concepts that emerged after the Cataclysm. Yet, a book with a history of 3,000 years actually recorded stories related to them. This couldn't help but make one think of prophecies.
Klein suddenly wondered if Lin Ruo wanted to obtain this "Groselle's Travels" to find memories related to his past. Could it be that this book contained records related to Lin Ruo's past?
Klein couldn't help but feel a little curious about the contents of the book.
Lin Ruo, who knew the truth of the matter, smiled as he took "Groselle's Travels" and said, "Regarding this, if I figure out the result in the future, I will tell you."
Of course, he knew why a book like "Groselle's Travels," which on the surface seemed to have existed 3,000 years ago, would contain concepts that only appeared in later generations. That was because this book contained a fictional story world, and as long as someone dripped blood onto the book or held it for too long, they would be sucked into the world within the book.
If these people who were sucked into the book didn't die and successfully participated in the main storyline of the story world, their actions in the book would be presented on the pages, becoming the story depicted in the book.
In simpler terms, it's not that the story was written in this book from the beginning, prophesying the world 3,000 years later, but that this book is constantly updated in real-time.
"I look forward to that day coming," Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards said sincerely. She was truly looking forward to hearing the truth about this matter from Lin Ruo in the future. After all, as a top student from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards genuinely craved knowledge, unlike Anderson, a dropout who was disliked for failing exams.
Lin Ruo naturally wouldn't do anything to "Groselle's Travels" in front of Vice Admiral Iceberg. So, he simply picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the desk next to him and began to write "swish, swish, swish."
Soon, Lin Ruo had written what he wanted to write and handed the paper to Vice Admiral Edwina.
Klein, who was standing next to him during this process, naturally glanced at the contents of the paper. He saw the first line written: "Above Sequence 1, there is Sequence 0. Sequence 0 is the True God. If a pathway has Sequence 0, it will no longer have Sequence 1, except for the Spectator."
Klein was stunned. He certainly knew that True Gods were Sequence 0. If a pathway possessed Sequence 0, it would be unable to produce Sequence 1? Why was this?
Was it because of the Law of Conservation of Beyonder characteristics? Were the characteristics of Sequence 1 limited?
Wait, Lin Ruo once said that an angel who simultaneously possessed two or more Sequence 1 characteristics, or who was Sequence 1 and accommodated the Uniqueness, was a King of Angels. He also said that the existence of the Uniqueness was related to becoming a god. Could it be… Klein suddenly thought of a possibility.
To be promoted to Sequence 0, one must simultaneously possess three Sequence 1 characteristics and the existence of the Uniqueness?
As if parting the mist, Klein suddenly thought that during the first special training session, before the official training, Lin Ruo had said something—at that time, he said that when choosing the corresponding pathway, the enemies and allies were already determined, so one must be careful of the same pathway and similar pathways.
At that time, Klein only felt that this sentence was inexplicably cruel, but he didn't truly understand it.
But now he suddenly understood that if an angel of Sequence 1 wanted to become a True God, he must kill the other two Sequence 1s, then indeed, those of the same Sequence could all be enemies.
And the reason why similar pathways were also enemies was naturally because Beyonders of similar pathways could also switch to their own pathway and then become the aforementioned enemies.
This couldn't be avoided even if you didn't want to compete, because as long as you became an Beyonder individual of that level, someone, some ambitious person, would point the butcher's knife at you.
Klein took a slight breath. Although he had gradually begun to understand the cruelty of the Beyonder world during this period, at this moment, he had a deeper understanding of this cruelty.
But why was the Spectator an exception? Was there something special about the Spectator pathway?
A question then popped up in Klein's mind, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Lin Ruo, but considering the presence of Vice Admiral Iceberg, Klein ultimately didn't ask.
Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards, who took the paper, naturally saw the short lines of words on it. There weren't many words, perhaps only one or two hundred in total, but the information contained within caused Vice Admiral Iceberg to freeze in place for a moment.
Even though she came from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom and was even highly valued, Vice Admiral Iceberg was ultimately only a Sequence 5. Naturally, she wasn't qualified to access knowledge involving Sequence 1 or even Sequence 0.
Not everyone was like Klein, with a cheat, able to access all kinds of knowledge related to angels and even True Gods in the middle sequences. Especially since Vice Admiral Iceberg came from a church, perhaps she could fully understand the corresponding levels of knowledge, being a well-deserved erudite, but she didn't have the qualification or permission to read higher-level knowledge.
This was also a common phenomenon in the church. In the church, there were strict regulations on what level of Beyonders could understand what level of information—of course, strictly speaking, this was partly for the good of the Beyonders in the church. After all, knowing some knowledge too early wasn't a good thing.
The knowledge that Lin Ruo wrote to Vice Admiral Iceberg this time was basically the kind that wouldn't be dangerous even if she knew it, such as the 0-without-1 principle, what kind of existence the King of Angels was, and that the gods in the Fourth Epoch walked on the earth.
You might say that this knowledge has no value, but in fact, it is extremely valuable, belonging to secrets that most Beyonders would never be able to access in their lifetime. But when this knowledge could be useful is hard to say—ordinary Beyonders would never use it.
However, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards was clearly not the kind of person who only cared about practicality. In fact, after quickly browsing all the information on the paper, this woman, who usually always showed herself to be very intellectual, like a teacher rather than a pirate, first showed a shocked expression. Then, restraining her shocked emotions, she almost uncontrollably revealed a joyful smile, very satisfied with this knowledge.
Then, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards took a slight breath, seemingly calming her agitated emotions. She then looked at Lin Ruo and said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Mr. Wayne."
"You're welcome, it was an equivalent exchange. I also got what I wanted." Lin Ruo smiled, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, do you have any arrangements for Danitz in the near future?"
