Book Spirit Memory (2/3)

"Even if you've ruled the Azure Dragon Continent for 30,000 years, it has nothing to do with this, right?" Ma Feifei asked doubtfully.

Zhang Ke is a first-class author from the Book Battle Continent. According to Zhang Ke himself, the Azure Dragon Continent was previously owned by someone else, and he took it from them 30,000 years ago. So, it makes sense that he is in charge of the Azure Dragon Continent.

"No, no, no, shopkeeper, you may have some misunderstanding about this 'management'."

Zhang Ke found a small stool and sat down facing Ma Feifei. He put the broom aside, straightened his clothes, and said confidently, "Shopkeeper, you probably know that the Azure Dragon Continent itself evolved from a book, so the cycle of everything in this world was actually predetermined long ago."

"It was destined long ago..." Ma Feifei murmured, repeating the same phrase.

"That's right! Although no one can control the development of the world after the Book Performance World, the final fate of everyone in the book has actually been arranged. No matter which path they take, as long as they don't break through to the Immortal Realm and can't leave this world, their ultimate destiny will be the fixed ending left for them in the book."

Zhang Ke felt that at this moment he had regained the confidence and pride of a first-class author, and he was full of energy. He couldn't stand the broom next to him, so he threw it down next to the plum tree and left it to lie there quietly.

Cool!

"You didn't write the book, so how could you know the ending?" Ma Feifei asked, frowning. Since Zhang Ke took over the Azure Dragon Continent from someone else 30,000 years ago, the Azure Dragon Continent was not in Zhang Caicai's hands before the Book Performance World, that is, before it was still a book. Since it wasn't in Zhang Caicai's hands, logically speaking, Zhang Caicai shouldn't have known the plot of the book.

"The so-called control over this continent is actually control over the Book Spirit. The Book Spirit contains all the content and plot of this book, which is the so-called 'Book Spirit Memory.' With the 'Book Spirit Memory,' one will naturally know everything."

After the Book Performance World, the Book Spirit will not disappear. It will exist on the Azure Dragon Continent in another form, which is the so-called Heavenly Dao or Law. The author can control the entire Azure Dragon Continent by communicating with the Book Spirit, but after the Book Performance World, the Book Spirit has become one with the world and established its own laws. Unless it is a great figure who is several levels higher than the world, no one can interfere with anything in this world.

This is why Zhang Ke and Xun Ling had to seal their cultivation when they entered the Azure Dragon Continent, because the laws of this world do not allow anything to exist that exceeds its own power system.

"Book Spirit Memory!" Ma Feifei exclaimed in surprise, suddenly remembering something. She looked at Zhang Ke and asked, "What about me? What is my fate in the Book Spirit Memory?"

If what Zhang Ke said is true, and everyone on the Azure Dragon Continent has their destined fate, then Ma Feifei must also exist within it; at least his body and name belong to this world.

"Uh..." Zhang Ke was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression hesitant.

"It's alright, just say it." Ma Feifei said nonchalantly. He could probably guess why Zhang Ke hesitated. In the original ending, the character 'Ma Feifei' should have died, but because he transmigrated to the Azure Dragon Continent and possessed the body of this 'Ma Feifei,' the 'Ma Feifei' came back to life.

There's a saying...

Yes! It's when someone who was destined to die doesn't; this is a reverse law.

"That's not how it is." Zhang Ke was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, after our first battle of wits, I checked your information, but the Book Spirit couldn't find you."

"Huh? They can't even find anything before the age of sixteen?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled.

Zhang Ke shook his head and said, "All things coexist on the Azure Dragon Continent, and the Book Spirit Memory do not record every living being."

"What do you mean?" Ma Feifei raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Ke rubbed his hands together, and said apologetically, "The Book Spirit Memory only retain those of beings mentioned in the book. But as you know, the number of characters recorded in a book is limited. Insignificant characters who have no impact on the plot generally won't appear in the book."

Ma Feifei: "..."

"What do you mean? I'm not even a minor character? My name, Ma Feifei, isn't even worthy of appearing in the book 'Azure Dragon Continent'? What a waste of the author's ink!" Ma Feifei was indignant! Who was he? He was the most powerful person on the Azure Dragon Continent, possessing the super-giant Mysterious Bookstore, and now he was being told he didn't even have a chance to appear in the book!

Zhang Ke smiled awkwardly and replied, "That's exactly what I was wondering about. Logically speaking, a person who doesn't appear in the Book Spirit Memory couldn't possibly have made such a name for themselves on the Azure Dragon Continent. But then I realized, shopkeeper, you might not be from this world. I don't know if I'm right."

"Heh!" Ma Feifei sneered, "Are you trying to trick me?"

"I dare not!" Zhang Ke quickly stood up, bowed, and apologized, but the smile on his face did not diminish.

"Tell me why Crown Prince Yan abdicated in favor of Yan Xun," Ma Feifei asked casually, tapping the rocking chair. He was too lazy to argue with Zhang Ke about which world he came from.

"Because from the very beginning, Yan Xun was the King of Yan State, but for some reason, the current King of Yan State is Crown Prince Yan. However, as long as Yan Xun doesn't die, the position of King of King Yan will eventually belong to Yan Xun. This is what people often call 'the cycle of fate,' which cannot be escaped." After Zhang Ke finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Feifei. Although he had been sweeping the floors of the Mysterious Bookstore recently, he had heard many strange and interesting stories while sweeping the Bookstore, and he also knew something about how Crown Prince Yan ascended to the throne of King Yan.

Without the Mysterious Bookstore, Crown Prince Yan would never have been able to defy fate.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei basically understood what was going on. In other words, the throne of King Yan originally belonged to Yan Xun, but because of Ma Feifei's existence and the existence of the Mysterious Bookstore, Crown Prince Yan had the opportunity to comprehend the Emperor's Aura. With the help of Luan Feng, Crown Prince Yan was able to reclaim the throne.

None of this would have happened without Ma Feifei and the Mysterious Bookstore.

This is what Buddhism refers to as 'cause and effect'.

Although Ma Feifei's appearance temporarily changed Crown Prince Yan's fate, as long as Yan Xun does not die, everything will eventually return to its original state. As the saying goes, there is a will in the dark, and the will of heaven will bring everything onto the predetermined track.

For example, Yan Xun has now regained the throne of King Yan.

It doesn't matter how it's done anymore, because it's ordained by fate. Even if you don't fight for it, it will still return to Yan Xun's hands.

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean I've changed the fate of many people?" Ma Feifei suddenly asked. There are quite a few cultivators on the Azure Dragon Continent who have profited from the Mysterious Bookstore.

"Indeed, just like that God of War Luan Feng of the Yan State. Because her cultivation broke through to the Immortal Realm, she broke through the Book Spirit Laws, and her fate was completely changed," Zhang Ke said meaningfully.

Ma Feifei nodded slightly, glanced at Zhang Ke without showing any emotion, and said calmly, "Take it out."
