Spiritual Ascension

Time passed day by day.

There had originally been Elves borrowing books in the Wisdom Treehouse, but ever since Bai Xiaowen entered the treehouse, no Elves had come by again.

In the enormous treehouse, he had only the Ancient Tree Spirit for company. However, the Ancient Tree Spirit was only responsible for fetching books for Bai Xiaowen one by one and did not converse with him.

Bai Xiaowen entered an extremely tranquil state. In the Wisdom Treehouse, where no one disturbed him and books were his only companions, he would occasionally stop reading to search for something and find that he could even hear his own heartbeat, his pulse, and the sound of blood flowing through his body...

Under normal circumstances, these sounds were almost imperceptible. Bai Xiaowen thought that perhaps he had developed some kind of hallucination.

Yet it was precisely in this state of absolute tranquility that Bai Xiaowen could sense his mental connection with the Doom Bracelet growing even closer.

"This Song of Forgotten Kings is rather interesting."

Bai Xiaowen slowed down and carefully savored the ancient poem. It told the story of the kings of the ancient continent fighting one another, humanity collapsing, and the eventual arrival of the Great Flood, which led to the extinction of all living things.

The words "Great Flood" tugged at Bai Xiaowen's sensitive nerves.

He carefully committed every place name, personal name, and even the names of various factions that appeared in the poem to memory.

In the poem, he came across something called the "Ilia Sect." It was practically identical to the legendary Guardian Order.

After reading the poem twice, Bai Xiaowen closed the book.

"The last stanza... is rather interesting."
