The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"As for why I didn't turn into that form, it's because I learned some of the techniques and used certain rituals to ward them off~"

"Although I'm usually a homebody, knowledge is power!"

Xingmier leisurely took out a star-shaped cookie and started crunching it in her mouth.

"Well……"

Bai Zhi touched her chin, feeling that something was off about this girl named Xing Mier, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Speaking of which, you are dressed like that, so you must be personnel sent by the Ming Dynasty to deal with this disaster."

After swallowing the biscuit, Xingmier said with a smile.

"In a sense, you can think of it that way too."

Bai Zhi didn't refute it; in essence, she was there to solve the problem.

"Hehe, I knew it. You were definitely looking for the culprit who turned this place into this mess. I have good news for you. I know where the person you're looking for is."

Xingmier stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug. "Want to know?"

"You really know?"

"Hmm, it's the real deal. As long as you agree to one condition, I'll give you the information and throw in some useful stuff."

"What conditions?"

A sly glint flashed in Xingmier's eyes. "Just don't forget me."

"This...is also a condition?"

Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised, wondering if she had encountered a female bronze statue.

"That's right, because you seem very smart, unlike those people who often come to my library to borrow books. They clearly don't have much talent, but they like to borrow a lot of books. People are clearly kind enough to give them the books, but they still can't understand them or remember them."

"Hehe, to put it simply, I like smart people. I'd be happy if smart people remembered me~"

Bai Zhi scratched her head, realizing she had misunderstood; this wasn't female bronze, it was intellectual homosexuality.

"I will remember you."

"I knew you would agree. The culprit behind all this is in the library in the town center. This is the key to the library. With it, you can open the door to knowledge."

Xingmier chuckled and pulled a small silver key from her pocket, placing it in Baizhi's hand.

"Oh, right, there's also the map here, let me find it..."

The girl turned around and rummaged through the pile of books, eventually stuffing a slightly yellowed map into Bai Zhi's hands.

"This key... never mind, it's probably just my imagination."

The moment Bai Zhi got her hands on that key, she unconsciously thought of the silver key she had taken out of the Necronomicon in that illusion.

But upon closer inspection, although they are both silver-white, there are still significant differences. The key in my dream is like the traditional long key from the past.

The key in my hand looks more like a modern security door lock key. The only two similarities are its weight, which is somewhat unusual for a key, and its similar color.

"Before we go there, let's have some tea to refresh ourselves."

Xingmier handed the tea to Baizhi.

"Okay, thank you."

Bai Zhi took the cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"How's it going? Does it taste good?"

The girl leaned forward, smiling sweetly.

"Hmm...it really is good, I feel much clearer-headed now."

Bai Zhi shook her head. After drinking this cup of tea, she really felt that everything around her had become much clearer, making her feel like she had suddenly become much smarter.

Chapter 865 Blessing of an Unknown Being—A Genius Strolling Among the Stars

Not far from the room, the monkey whispered, "Little White, that person just now seemed a bit strange."

"Under my discerning eyes, she is neither human nor ghost, neither immortal nor god, nor demon. Her true form is completely undetectable. She is probably a very powerful being."

"Yeah, I can see it."

Bai Zhi nodded. "I'm so famous in this world, there's no way she wouldn't recognize me."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't turn around with that stick. Since they haven't done anything too outrageous, just ignore them."

Bai Zhi called out to the monkey who was trying to go back with the stick. Although she didn't know the specifics of Xing Mier's identity, anyone whose true form the monkey couldn't see was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Moreover, the other party didn't seem to have any particularly malicious intent; in fact, they were quite friendly.

At times like these, don't overthink it; just pretend you don't understand.

"I'm just afraid she'll cause trouble in this world."

The monkey scratched its head.

"Not at all. This kind of world shouldn't hold any appeal for someone of her level."

"Let's go to the library on this map instead."

"Since you put it that way, Xiaobai, then alright."

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, then took out the map that Xing Mier had given her.

To be fair, this map is indeed very detailed, clearly marking the function and name of each place.

"Let me see. Let's go straight, then head west for a while. We should be able to find the Servant who caused this incident there."

After carefully examining the map, Bai Zhi led the monkey towards the direction marked on the map.

Less than ten minutes later, the two arrived at the location of the library marked on the map.

However, unlike the black mud that would retreat at the sight of angelica, the thick black mud covering this library remained completely still. Only the tentacles that emerged from it and countless eyes unhesitatingly radiated deep malice towards the two of them.

"Xiaobai, I think maybe we don't need to open the gate. We can just blow this thing up along with the library."

The monkeys, seeing the tentacles and eyes, clearly didn't want to touch them.

"It's not impossible. You can give it a try. I feel that this thing might not be so easy to destroy."

Bai Zhi sensed the difference between this place and the things in other towns and regions from the fact that the black mud did not give way.

"Hehe, my old Sun's golden cudgel is no joke. With a gentle twist, this dilapidated house will crumble!"

After saying that, the monkey took out his golden cudgel and shouted, "Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow!"

The golden cudgel grew larger in response, becoming even bigger than the library in an instant. Then, the monkey controlled the golden cudgel and swept it across the library, which was covered in black mud.

Logically speaking, a powerful magical weapon like the Golden Cudgel, once enlarged and heavier, should be able to cause devastating damage to ordinary houses.

However, when the golden cudgel touched the library, its immense power vanished without a trace, as if it had sunk into the sea. Instead, the black mud began to spread along the golden cudgel towards the monkey.

Countless tentacles and eyes bloomed all over the Golden Cudgel as the black mud spread.

"These evil demons and heretics!"

Seeing this, the monkey scratched its head in frustration and quickly shrunk the golden cudgel, putting it into its own hand.

Then he exhaled a breath of fresh air, blowing away the spreading black mud.

Although there was no black mud left on it, there was still a lingering fishy smell that made it quite nauseating.

The monkey grimaced at the smell, losing all interest in shrinking the golden cudgel and putting it in its ear.

"I told you, it's not that easy."

After all, this is related to the Cthulhu Mythos, and it is very likely related to Yggdrasil. If it were the monkey in its true form, even with the power of an Outer God, such a small house would probably be easily destroyed.

However, the monkey that was transformed into a Servant was clearly still lacking.

"Come on, just use the key to open it."

Bai Zhi chuckled lightly, then took out the silver key.

After the key was taken out, the black mud seemed to sense a threat and began to gather rapidly. Then, a huge tentacle condensed and attached itself to the front of the library, sweeping across Bai Zhi.

"Heh heh, if I can't break this house, can't I break you?"

A giant golden cudgel extended beside Bai Zhi, precisely blocking the tentacle attack.

"Xiaobai, go open the door, I'll stop this piece of junk."

The monkey used force to easily bounce the tentacle back.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Bai Zhi nodded and quickly walked up the steps.

The closer they got to the library's entrance, the more black mud material appeared, swarming over to try and stop Bai Zhi's actions.

Unfortunately, it has many tentacles, and the monkey has quite a few clones.

Ignoring the fierce battle around her, Bai Zhi looked at the door in front of her, took out the key, inserted it precisely into the keyhole, and then turned it.

The door opened, and the surrounding black mud seemed to have been frozen in time, completely falling into an eerie stillness.

"what?"

Bai Zhi looked at the key in her hand in surprise. After opening the door, the key in her hand suddenly changed its appearance. It changed from the shape of a security door key to the retro long-handled silver key she had seen in her dream.

Contrary to Bai Zhi's expectations, the library was not home to Abigail; instead, it was a starry sky.

The boundless sea of ​​stars began to move before her eyes, supernova explosions, black holes formed, and countless other things flashed by.

Then, all of this began to shrink, eventually becoming a thick book that appeared on the bookshelves of a seemingly endless library.

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow, walked to the bookshelf, casually picked up the book, and opened it.

As soon as she opened it, she felt a massive amount of information rushing towards her, as if everything in the universe was conveying a message to her.

"Snapped!"

Bai Zhi closed the book and rubbed her temples.

Although her brain didn't explode, she felt a long-lost sense of fatigue.

[Ding! You have received a blessing from an unknown entity—a genius who wanders among the stars.]

[A genius who walks among the stars: You possess extraordinary qualities, enabling you to perceive the mysteries of the universe and possess exceptional spirituality more than ordinary people.]

[Note: The universe is singing to you!]

The system's sudden notification helped Bai Zhi regain some of her composure.

……

Chapter 866 Abigail: You bear the aura of the Father God

"What a wonderful gift..."

Bai Zhi took a deep breath. She felt that she might know the identity of the girl from before.

As she said this, everything around her began to shrink, and finally, the endless library disappeared before her eyes, replaced by an empty and somewhat eerie building.

Some books covered in black mud were carelessly discarded on the ground.

At the same time, a blonde girl pounced on her.

"Ah, it's the scent of the Father God."

The girl greedily inhaled Bai Zhi's scent, just like a cat.

"You are...Abigail?"

Bai Zhi recognized the blonde girl immediately. She was blonde and wearing a black dress, but she didn't seem to be the kind of girl with a lot of tentacles around her when she finally ascended to the Spirit Origin in the game. Instead, she was just the initial Spirit Origin.

"Yes, it's me, the messenger of the Father God."

Abigail leaned close to Baizhi's hair, as if she could never get enough of the scent, collecting it all.

"The Father God's messenger...is it because of this...?"

Bai Zhi took out the silver key in her hand, which shimmered with an eerie light. Judging from Abigail's behavior and the various characteristics of the place where Xingmier was located, the other party was likely an incarnation of Yggdrasil.

"No, you have the blessing of the Father God."
