586: Chapter 586 Library

In the third round of the preliminary selection, Chen Yi still cleared it without taking any damage!

One hundred and sixty matches, one hundred and sixty opponents, all surrendered; there was not a single exception!

Even those few Ancient God-Rank powerhouses, the moment they saw the name Yi Chen, chose to surrender without hesitation.

Their reasoning was unanimous—if you can't beat him, why waste your energy?

Anyway, you can't get into the top three in the finals, so it's better to save your strength to fight for the top ten!

Chen Yi didn't mind; saving some energy was better. Anyway, his goal wasn't to prove himself in the preliminary selection.

He walked out of the challenge Formation and stretched his neck.

Zhao Zhao was still inside and hadn't come out. Judging by her situation, her match would likely last for a long time.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and decided to go for a stroll by himself!

He had been in the City of Extreme Evil for so long, but he hadn't had a proper look around!

But he hadn't walked many steps before he was stopped by a female Evil Thought Entity.

"Chen Yi! It's Chen Yi!"

"Lord Chen Yi! I am your fan!"

"I've watched your previous battle with Kalsis eight hundred times; it was amazing!"

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, intentionally or unintentionally revealing her collarbone.

That gaze, that posture, that tone—it was clearly saying: "Look at me, look at me. How am I worse than Fiya?"

In fact, this woman was indeed not inferior to Fiya; her figure and appearance were at a perfect level!

She was at the Peak of the Heavenly God Rank and about to break through to the Ancient God Rank. She was the Young Miss of Peach Blossom Spring, a major power in the City of Extreme Evil, an existence much more powerful than the Starlight Pavilion!

It was a pity that her quest reward wasn't anything special, and Chen Yi didn't care much.

Chen Yi waved his hand casually: "Thank you!"

Seeing him respond, the female Evil Thought Entity became even bolder!

She took a step forward, almost pressing against him.

"Lord Chen Yi, are you alone? Do you want me to show you around? I'm very familiar with the City of Extreme Evil."

Several other female Evil Thought Entities nearby also crowded around.

"Lord Chen Yi, me, me, me! I'm very familiar with it too!"

"Lord Chen Yi, don't listen to her, she has no sense of direction! I'm the real local!"

"Lord Chen Yi, what do you like to eat? I know a really good spirit fruit shop!"

Chen Yi was surrounded by them, with everyone talking at once and chattering away.

His gaze swept over every face, and the System interface in his mind kept popping up.

The result was the same; none of them had three question marks.

Chen Yi was a little disappointed.

It seemed that the most special women in the Void Realm were just those three!

Zhao Zhao, Fiya, and Yue Wen!

Only those three had memory fragments in their rewards!

And only those three had ridiculously high Enhancement Points as rewards!

As for the others, even if they had an SSS-rank Bloodline and a high Rank, the rewards were only a few hundred points.

Why was it specifically those three?

What exactly was special about them?

Chen Yi walked forward while dealing with those enthusiastic female Evil Thought Entities.

After walking a few streets, those female Evil Thought Entities gradually dispersed.

It wasn't that they didn't want to follow, but they couldn't keep up.

Chen Yi's pace wasn't fast, but every step covered a great distance, as if he were using a technique to shrink the earth into an inch.

Those female True God and Heavenly God Rank entities couldn't keep up after a few steps and could only stand in place, stamping their feet.

Chen Yi walked on the street alone, feeling much more peaceful.

He wandered aimlessly and, without realizing it, arrived in front of a huge building.

The building was constructed entirely of blue-gray boulders, about a hundred zhang tall, with three huge arched gates in the front.

Above the arched gates were carved several large, ancient seal script characters—Library of Extreme Evil!

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment.

There was a library here too?

He had thought that people in the Void Realm used crystal stones to pass on knowledge and didn't need to read books!

But on second thought, although crystal stone inheritance was convenient, the information it recorded was limited!

Truly important history still had to rely on written records!

After all, there were no computers or anything like that here...

Chen Yi thought for a moment and walked inside.

The inside of the library was larger than it looked from the outside.

Countless bookshelves were embedded in the surrounding walls, and the shelves were filled with classics of various materials: bamboo slips, silk, animal skins, metal plates, and even crystal balls...

The air was filled with a faint scent of ink and paper, which calmed the mind.

A few Evil Thought Entities were scattered around the hall reading, all of them small fries below the True God Rank.

Seeing Chen Yi enter, some recognized him, their eyes widening, but no one dared to come up and talk to him.

Chen Yi didn't care and walked to the bookshelf on his own to start browsing.

He was looking for records about Chen Yu.

The Void Emperor, the creator of the Golden Age, an existence from tens of millions of years ago!

Even if it was a long time ago, his history should be well preserved here!

But he searched for a long time and found nothing!

The books on the shelves were mostly things like Cultivation Techniques, Formation diagrams, and spirit plant catalogs...

Occasionally, there were a few history books, but they were all about the last few tens of thousands of years!

There wasn't a single record about Chen Yu!

"That's really strange. Emperor Chen Yu is so famous, how could there be no records at all?"

At this moment, a timid voice came from the side.

"Um... Lord Chen Yi?"

Chen Yi turned his head and found a young female Evil Thought Entity standing behind him.

She was wearing a simple, clean gray dress, her hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she wore no makeup, looking clean and fresh.

Her Rank was only True God, and it was the kind that had just broken through not long ago!

At this moment, she was looking at Chen Yi nervously, her fingers twisting her cuffs, her face slightly flushed.

"Who are you?"

"I... I am the librarian here."

She responded softly, "I... I saw you searching here for a long time, and it seems... it seems you didn't find what you wanted, so... so I wanted to ask if you need any help?"

Chen Yi looked at her, feeling a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected there to be a librarian!

If he had known, he should have asked earlier!

"I am looking for records about Chen Yu."

"Chen Yu? The Void Emperor Chen Yu?"

"Yes, is there any?"

"Records of Emperor Chen Yu are classified as important historical materials and are kept in the Archives Room; they are not on the ordinary bookshelves."

Hearing this, Chen Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

So they did exist!

What a waste of effort!

"Archives Room? Where is it?"

"The Archives Room requires administrator privileges to open. I... I can help you open it!"

The librarian said timidly, "But... but the books in the Archives Room cannot be borrowed; you can only read them inside! And... and you cannot record, copy, or take them away."

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Chen Yi, fearing he would get angry.

Chen Yi smiled: "Fine, I'll read them inside!"

Soon, Chen Yi was led to the front of the Archives Room.

He walked to the bookshelf and began to search.

The books here all recorded events from over a hundred thousand years ago, and there were also many Cultivation Techniques; each one was priceless, and taking just one out would be enough for an ordinary Evil Thought Entity to live on for several lifetimes!

But he wasn't interested in these!

All he was looking for was the history of Chen Yu!
