『A second identity? Some kind of incarnation?』
『No... this isn’t just a simple incarnation, but a true second identity, whose level and strength are not much different from the Yellow Robe King, and even it itself can be called ’Yellow Robe’.』
『Doctor, tell me more.』
『Alright... Actually, there are many versions of the rumors about the Yellow Robe King’s "second identity".
However, in my opinion and based on known intelligence analysis, most versions aren’t very reliable.
Let me first share with you, Lord, a more credible and widely spread rumor,
because the Yellow Robe King itself is quite casual, compared to other Old Kings, it can be considered a ’benevolent’ existence. Not to mention allowing any race to set foot on the land it governs, it also adopts a relatively free management model for important areas like the library.
Many people speculate,
that the ’benevolence’ of the Yellow Robe is because it perfectly split the [Evil] and [Impure Impurities] parts through the highest level of "Soul Separation".
For ordinary living beings, such soul separation would be barely survivable, and because their souls are incomplete, they can hardly function normally, essentially becoming useless.
It is precisely this separately excised part that, with the pre-prepared ’evolutionary methods’ of the Yellow Robe King, is nurtured and grown to gradually form an independent entity equal to the Yellow Robe.
This is exactly the second identity in front of us - [The Distant Festivity].
He has a special interest in collecting souls and also has an uncontrollable interest and strong demand for brains... There was a time when the total number of S-01 Migos sharply decreased by 30% because of his presence.
The other Upper Old Kings also immediately joined forces to impose restrictions, demanding strict control over the second identity by the Yellow Robe, since Migos’ contribution to the world is significant and indispensable.
So... Lord, you must be careful, for your brain is unique, and he will surely covet it.』
Han Dong connected the information transmitted by the Doctor with some other information.
『Oh? Soul separation, removing evil and impurities to form a second identity.
If the "second identity" isn’t restricted by power and is allowed freedom, its behavior and governance of the territory could become extreme.
Previously, Pope mentioned that the library was thrown into a shattered dimension, seemingly due to a mega "Land Deed War" that occurred in the ancient world.
Could the trigger of this war be related to this second identity?
Anyway, I will try to talk with him, since he is considered part of the Yellow Robe. After all, I am also a messenger... my head should be kept intact.』
... The story the Doctor seems to be telling is actually equivalent to directly transferring this part of the memory to Han Dong, with no delay in reality.
The credibility of this rumor is indeed high, but Han Dong is not afraid.
In his view, the appearance of this second Yellow Robe answers one question - why the library can still maintain its normal open state and has not been damaged even after drifting for several eras in a shattered dimension?
"I have seen the curator of the Seraino Great Library."
Seeing Han Dong directly address him as [Curator], the other party also revealed a rare smile.
"I didn’t expect you to be quite polite... Before you read the books, you need to answer some doubts in my heart.
I have brought the library to a shattered dimension for an unknown number of years, long since disconnected from the original world.
During the endless drifting, I found some barely livable ’survival modes’ from the chaotic dimensions. What seemed like a vast dimension area actually has differences in depth.
I have moved the library to a deeper position to avoid outside disturbances.
I didn’t expect you little guys of mythic bodies to find here... Even as a Yellow Robe Messenger, you shouldn’t have any induction.
How did you guys find your way here? And what are you doing in the shattered dimension?" Latest content publıshed on novel※fire.net
Han Dong did not hide,
and explained all his experiences in finding the Dead Spirit Remnants and being invaded by B.B.C intruders.
He detailed how he was forced to abandon the important spaceship on the plant planet and ended up here through black hole transmission.
All of it was the truth because Han Dong knew any lies could easily be detected through the other party’s soul reading.
However, Han Dong also held back some information.
He intentionally left out parts... He never mentioned the "Yellow Robe King" throughout.
The Out of Control, from the Black Tower Control Bureau, attempted to use this area as a temporary base... and they’re exploring extensively and plundering the resources here?"
When the curator heard ’Alien Race’ and ’Intrusion Problems’, his entire aura became extremely dreadful.
The air in the whole library room was condensed, even blackened... transforming into visible black blocks.
The yellow ribbons hung on him with iron hooks floated up, as if sketching a terrifying devouring monster in the air.
"Yes... Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come here by accident."
Just as Han Dong looked up again, the frightening scene in front of him, along with the curator, vanished... The library room returned to tranquility.
Confirming that the curator had left, Han Dong’s lips curled slightly upward.
"The matter of following Void’s guidance to search for the ’Remnant Pages’ in the shattered dimension is not as simple as it appears... It may well be just a node of a massive ’plotting network’.
What we have deduced so far is only part of it.
The Remnant Pages, Yellow Robe, the library left here since ancient times, and the second identity hidden here... What kind of huge network has Mr. Eugene really laid down? Just what does he aim to trigger, and what outcome does he seek?
Forget it, thinking about it now will only waste time~
This network will surely gradually reveal itself as our exploration progresses. For now, let’s focus on the books! We must seize the opportunity before us."
He no longer thought further
And quickly switched to the book-reading state, first gaining surface knowledge of the library room.
Spending a whole twelve hours, Han Dong traversed all the collections here... only touching the surface, without reading any content.
This made Han Dong ascertain the essence of the library and what reading goal to pursue next.
"The library is irreplicable
because of its internal secretive reviewing mechanism and the elusive book collection modes.
the true reason it’s irreplicable is because of what the Yellow Robe King alone created - [Soul Reading], something only a soul master like him can accomplish.
Subsequently, the Yellow Robe enjoyed traveling alone in the human world, creating novels through authors’ hands, because it allowed him to immerse himself in literary worlds, embarking on completely different and personally fulfilling journeys.
While satisfying his interest, he also gained immense insights.
Every book in the [Seraino Great Library] has been through ’soul modification’.
Its cover has a "Soul Port", enabling a being to release its soul body and enter the book through the port easily in the library’s provided soul environment.
He can even freely choose to view the entire book as the main character in the novel,
or experience the whole story as a supporting character, villain, or even as an inconspicuous passerby.
No wonder it doesn’t require the support of a demon book to occupy the top position in library rankings for a long term... This soul reading allows readers to gain completely different experiences and insights.
Let me give it a try."
Han Dong picked up a book he had chosen in his heart.
