"Are these... ancient books?"
Lin Yuan entered the Secret Chamber and could not help murmuring as he looked at the mountain of books before him.
Some were made of paper, some of hide, and others were carved in stone, taking all sorts of forms.
But they had one thing in common: they looked old, and many were damaged.
One glance was enough to tell that they dated back to an extremely distant past.
In these transcendent seas, precious books were maintained with Transcendent Power, remaining as good as new no matter how much time passed.
Unless they lacked maintenance, books themselves rarely became tattered.
And this Secret Chamber had been personally concealed by Sin of the Fallen, so the books here were certainly of great value.
There was no way they would have been poorly maintained.
Moreover, this Secret Chamber was spotless, with traces of cleaning still on the floor.
Clearly, even after Sin of the Fallen fell asleep, the Crawlers had continued to maintain this place with the utmost care.

throughout his dealings with them, they had always struck him as paranoid lunatics, dangerous individuals bent on stirring up trouble.
Only after finding so many "history books" at this base
