This was the compilation of a sea of knowledge lexicon.
No encyclopedia or dictionary could possibly compare with it.
Fang Yun's head ached.
But since he wanted to pursue scholarship, organize knowledge, systematize it, and build his own Book Mountain, this was an indispensable process.
Thus, Fang Yun embarked on a long new journey, painful yet joyful!
After pondering for a long time, Fang Yun decided to abandon lofty ambitions and start learning and organizing from the very basics.
Following masters such as Saussure, and using linguistics as his foundation, Fang Yun began comprehensively reanalyzing various dull and trivial fields—speech sounds, phonology, phonetics, dialects, writing, etymology, and more—ensuring that he first thoroughly understood sounds and characters themselves.
After analyzing writing, Fang Yun continued studying linguistics: word formation, grammar, semantics, rhetoric, and other fields. Grammar in particular was the backbone of the entire Chinese language system.
Fang Yun not only had to organize his own knowledge system and write it into books, but also continually read the works of every race within the Strange Book World while conducting Sacred Way deductions, lest omissions and errors arise.
Even though Fang Yun was a Half-Sage, a single man worth ten thousand, absorbing the essence of all races across the Myriad Worlds while creating a linguistic system best suited for the Human Race of the Saint Origin Continent remained an incomparably vast undertaking.
Only after a full two years of Book Mountain time did Fang Yun complete the first edition of his linguistics books. This was merely the foundation. Fang Yun believed that, years later, as his understanding of linguistics deepened, he could revise them again and create a second edition.
After finishing every linguistics book within his Sacred Sense, Fang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the open ground ahead.
