Steal Scarlet!
Aside from those few simple attempts before, this was Han Su's first deliberate attempt to steal power from the outside world.
The Emperor's Book wasn't something he could simply open and point at the sky to make mysterious powers obediently come to him. The book was entirely passive. Mysterious powers had to be captured through his own divine substance, which served as an intermediary.
Of course, it also gave him something in return.
Aside from the growth of his own divine substance during the process, the mysterious knowledge that appeared in the book also required his unique divine substance as a medium and cipher before anyone could see and read it.
The problem was...

Han Su furrowed his brow. He had to consider not only how to steal the power successfully, but also the Emperor's Book's instinct. Although the book didn't steal of its own accord, it had a powerful instinct: any mysterious power that came near it would be snatched away without a drop left behind.
For example, he might be able to use Will of Copper and White Corpse's blood to forcibly steal some of the Scarlet power from the battlefield in the sky. But then, when he fed it to the Emperor's Book, Will of Copper would be devoured as well.
And for now, at least, Will of Copper was still his most powerful advantage. He couldn't afford to waste it like that.
Then...
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. In the end, Han Su settled on one:
Zero Sequence!
