Cooperation II

"Thank you." Zhang Rongfang took it and examined the book in his hand.

The book's surface was warm, smooth to the touch like human skin.

A line of blood-red words stood clearly on the cover: World Geography.

He opened the first page. Inside were lines of completely unfamiliar writing.

But soon, he retrieved the memories of every living being he had devoured from his mind, separated out the language portions, and absorbed and fused them.

The unfamiliar words before his eyes rapidly became familiar.

'Our world is spherical; there can be no doubt about that. Looking down from a great height, one can discern this fact.'

That was the opening passage.

'But we can never escape White Pupil's gravity, until it utterly devours us and ignites everything.'

The sentence on the second page revealed a dense air of despair.

Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes and quickly flipped onward.

Further on was an enormous map spanning two pages.

A map of the entire world.

There were no oceans. This was a world of land alone.

Parched and scorched black, it was divided into three regions by three immense rift abysses.

Those three regions were: Black Sand, Spirit Map, and Evil Forest.

"Black Sand is the land where we are. My Perpetual Palace, the Instant Tower, and all sorts of Interaction Zones are distributed here. It is the only continent where living creatures can exist," La explained from the side.

"Spirit Map is a vast region of ruins left behind by the Spirit Eye Clan. It is filled with exceedingly dangerous ruin-tombs. The ruins have guardians. The tombs are the burial grounds of the Spirit Eye Clan. Their tradition was that, before dying, they would use all the wealth they had accumulated in their lives to create the strongest tomb guardian.
