Hippo Emperor

The Steward Elder shook his head and said, "Being an Author isn't that simple. Writing books is merely one way for Authors to use books as a medium to obtain things they want."

"Using books as a medium to obtain what you want?" Ma Feifei furrowed his brow and asked in confusion. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"Exactly. You should know that books written by Authors come with all sorts of wondrous effects. For example, you can obtain cultivation techniques and martial skills, divine weapons, or divine beasts from books. You can even enter the worlds within books and live there."

As the Steward Elder spoke, a look of remembrance appeared on his face. He gazed up at the boundless sky and sighed. "According to legend, the Book Battle Continent was originally just a book. But it was of extraordinarily high quality—the first Eternal-grade book in history. It became the Book Battle Continent we know today after its Book Performance World took shape."

Ma Feifei was dumbfounded. The Book Battle Continent had evolved from a book? And an Eternal-grade one, at that? Could anyone really write a book that amazing?

And if that was true, then who was the Author who wrote the book that became the Book Battle Continent? Where had he been before its Book Performance World came into being?

It made no sense at all.

The Steward Elder seemed to notice the confusion in Ma Feifei's eyes and smiled as he explained, "Actually, there's evidence for this. One of the oldest Mythic-grade books still in existence, acknowledged as such throughout the Book Battle Continent, mentions the author of the Book Battle Continent: Hippo Emperor."

"Hippo Emperor?" Ma Feifei smacked his lips. For some reason, the name struck him as funny.
