Super God: I simulated the heavens and was broadcast live in public

Chapter 239 Lord of Knowledge
The two quickly went over.

The stall owner was a hunched old man. When he saw Yunming and Qiangwei come over, his eyes lit up: "Two distinguished guests, take a look at my treasures. They are all obtained from various ruins and are absolutely genuine."

Rose picked up a somewhat worn-looking book, flipped through it casually, and asked, "Boss, do you have any books on deciphering mysterious symbols? Like these symbols."

As she spoke, she gestured in the air the symbol that Yunming had mentioned earlier.

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Young lady, the kind of classic you're talking about is very precious. How could my small business possibly have such a treasure?"

However, I do know someone who might have it, but..."

"Just what?"

Yunming pressed for an answer.

The old man rubbed his hands together: "But that person is difficult to deal with, and the reward he demands is not low."

Rose snorted coldly: "Hmph, as long as we can find that book, the reward is not a problem."

Tell me quickly, where is that person?

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said, "That man lives in a castle deep within the black market, and he calls himself the 'Lord of Knowledge'."

However, meeting him is not easy; he only deals with those of value.

Yunming and Qiangwei exchanged a glance and decided to head to the castle.

Upon arriving at the castle, they found it heavily guarded, with various defensive structures standing tall.

Just as Yunming was about to get closer, he was blocked by an energy barrier.

Just then, a voice came from inside the castle: "Who goes there? Why do you trespass on my territory?"

Rose declared loudly, “We are here to trade with the ‘Lord of Knowledge,’ and we have something that interests him.”

After a while, the energy barrier disappeared, and the castle gates slowly opened.

A man dressed in black robes stepped out. His eyes flashed like lightning as he glanced at Yunming and Qiangwei: "Come with me."

Yunming and Qiangwei followed the man in black robes into the castle and arrived at a huge study.

The study was filled with all sorts of books and scrolls, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

In the very center of the study sat an elderly man with white hair; he was the "Lord of Knowledge."

.

The old man looked at Yunming and Qiangwei and said calmly, "I heard you have something that interests me? Take it out and let me see."

Yunming took out a peculiar item he had obtained from the ruins earlier; it was a crystal ball that emitted a faint glow.

"Lord of Knowledge"

Upon seeing the crystal ball, their eyes lit up: "Where did you get this from?"

Yunming briefly recounted his experience in the ruins.

"Lord of Knowledge"

After listening, he nodded: "That's right, this thing does have some value."

What do you want in exchange for me?

Rose quickly said, "We want a book on the interpretation of mysterious symbols, like these symbols."

She gestured the symbols again.

"Lord of Knowledge"

He frowned slightly: "I do have a copy of that kind of classic text."

However, its value goes far beyond just this crystal ball.

You'll need to bring out something else.

Yunming and Qiangwei were in a bit of a predicament, as they didn't have any other particularly valuable items on them.

At this moment, Yunming suddenly thought of the jade pendant he was wearing. He had worn it since he was a child. Although he didn't know what was special about it, he always felt that it was very important.

Yunming gritted his teeth and took out the jade pendant: "Is this okay? This jade pendant is of great significance to me, but I am willing to exchange it for the truth."

"Lord of Knowledge"

He took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Okay, deal."

As he spoke, he took an ancient book from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Yunming.

Yunming took the book, his heart filled with excitement.

He and Rose quickly opened the ancient books, searching for an interpretation of those mysterious symbols.

After some searching, I finally found the relevant information.

Those symbols were indeed closely related to the simulation, recording an ancient ritual that seemed to control the process of the simulation.

Yunming and Qiangwei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

Unexpectedly, such an astonishing secret was hidden behind this.

"Lord of Knowledge"

Seeing their shocked expressions, he smiled slightly: "It seems you've found the answer you're looking for."

However, I must warn you that if this secret is leaked, it will cause enormous trouble.

You'd better watch yourselves.

Yunming and Qiangwei addressed the "Lord of Knowledge".

After thanking them, I left the castle.

The road ahead will be even more difficult, but there is no turning back in order to uncover the truth.

Back at the black market, Rose looked at the book in Yunming's hand and said, "Now that we have a lead, what should we do next?"

Yunming pondered for a moment: "We need to first figure out the specific operation method of this ancient ritual, as well as the purpose behind it."

Then, we need to find those who manipulated the simulation and expose the conspiracy.

Rose nodded: "Okay, let's find a safe place and study this book carefully."

So the two found a secluded inn, closed the door, and began to seriously study the contents of the classic texts.

As research progressed, it was discovered that this ancient ritual was far more complex than imagined and required some special items to complete.

Yunming frowned: "Where are we supposed to find these special items? The myriad worlds are so vast, how easy is it to find them?"

Rose thought for a moment: "I might have a way."

I know some factions might have these items; we can try trading with them.

However, this may come at a price.

Yunming said firmly, "I am willing to pay any price as long as the truth can be revealed."

Let's set off now.

"Take human life lightly?"

Yunming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I was inside that building when it collapsed. How could I have known it would turn out like that? I was just trying to escape from pursuers and ran there in a panic."

As for those fifteen ordinary people, I am saddened by their deaths, but that was not my intention.

"Hiding from pursuers? Who's pursuing you? How did an outsider like you get into trouble with Earth?"

Rose's gaze was sharp as she stared intently at Yun Ming, as if trying to find a trace of a lie on his face.

"I...I come from Earth, which is very different from Blue Star."

I don't know how I got here.

On Earth, I was living an ordinary life when suddenly one day, strange phenomena began to appear around me, and I was then chased by a group of mysterious people.

Yunming said helplessly, "I was on the run and somehow ended up on Blue Star. As soon as I got here, I was treated as a dangerous element and was hunted down. I was really exhausted from running around."

"A mysterious person? What mysterious person? Why is he pursuing you?"

Rose pressed on, her tone less skeptical.

"I don't know, he was dressed in black, expressionless, and extremely ruthless."

All I knew was that they seemed to be searching for something, and inexplicably, I became their target.

Yunming frowned, trying hard to recall those terrible experiences. "After arriving on Blue Star, I wanted to find a place to hide, but things never went as planned."

I really didn't kill those four medical staff members on purpose.

A group of people chased me all the way to the hospital. I panicked, and during my escape, I accidentally got into a fight. I was just trying to protect myself, but I didn't expect...

Yunming's voice gradually lowered.

"Hmph, self-defense? With such high martial arts skills, why can't you control yourself a little?"

Rose remained relentless.

"Martial arts? That's something I only acquired after arriving on Earth."

On Earth, I'm just an ordinary person; I don't know any martial arts.

"After arriving here, my body seems to have undergone some changes. Suddenly, I gained these abilities, and I don't even know how it happened," Yunming explained.

"What do you have to do with the Xia Dynasty in that light screen, and that dog emperor?"

Rose changed the subject.

"I'm also puzzled. I've never heard of the Xia Dynasty on Earth, as depicted in the light screen."

I have absolutely no connection with that emperor.

I suspect that perhaps my arrival on Earth triggered some unusual changes, causing the light screen to appear. It might be revealing something related to me, or perhaps a hidden secret of Earth.

Yunming analyzed it carefully.

"You mean these strange light curtains appeared on Earth because of you, an outsider?"

Rose's eyes widened.

"That's possible. After all, everything was normal on Earth before I arrived, wasn't it?"

Yunming spread his hands.

"If you claim to be a good person, why don't you stand up and explain things to everyone? Instead, you choose to hide and live like a criminal?"

Rose questioned.

“Me, step forward? Who would believe me? Just like now, after saying so much, you are still half-believing and half-doubting.”

If I were to suddenly appear in public, I would definitely be treated as a monster, subjected to all sorts of research, or even executed.

I don't want to die. I want to live and find out what really happened.

Yunming said with a wry smile.

"So what are you planning to do next? Continue to run away like this?"

"Rose asked."

"I want to find the source of the light curtain. Maybe there is the answer to why I came to Earth, and also the solution to all of this."

Yunming said firmly.

"Just you alone? Do you know how dangerous that is? And you have no idea where to even begin looking."

Rose frowned.

"I know it's dangerous, but I have no other choice."

As for where to start, I'll begin with the places where the light screens have been appearing frequently recently; perhaps we can find some clues there.

Yunming said.

"Then I'll go with you."

Rose suddenly said.

"You? Why? Haven't you always thought I was a bad person?"

Yunming looked at Qiangwei in surprise.

"Although I still don't quite trust you, I also want to figure out the secret of the light screen."

Furthermore, I can't let you act recklessly on your own. If you really do have ulterior motives, I have to keep an eye on you and prevent you from harming Earth.

Rose said earnestly.

"Okay, it's good to have your help. More people mean more strength."

However, I really hope you can gradually come to believe me; I truly meant no harm.

Yunming said sincerely.

The two embarked on a journey to find the source of the light curtain.

Along the way, Rose kept asking Yunming about things on Earth.

What is Earth like? Is it really similar to Blue Planet?

Rose asked curiously.

"Yes, it's very similar. There are mountains and rivers, cities and villages, and people living their own lives."

But their technology is far more advanced than Earth's; they don't practice martial arts, and people rely on various machines and tools for their livelihood.

Yunming described what the Earth looked like.

"No martial arts skills? What if you encounter danger?"

Rose asked in confusion.

"There are police officers who maintain social order."

There were also various weapons, but most of the time, people were able to live together peacefully.

Yunming said.

"That sounds strange. Without martial arts skills, wouldn't people's bodies be very weak?"

Rose shook her head.

"On Earth, people place greater emphasis on cultivating knowledge and wisdom, using learning and creation to improve their quality of life and cope with various problems."

Yunming explained.

We arrived in a small town where light screens have been appearing frequently lately.

The people in the town were terrified, and all they talked about was the light screen.

"Have you heard? The light screen appeared again yesterday, in that grove of trees west of town."

"That's what a villager said."

"Yes, this light screen is too eerie. I wonder if it will bring any disaster."

Another villager chimed in.

Yunming and Qiangwei found a local old man and asked him about the situation.

"Sir, do you know the exact location where the light screen recently appeared? Also, did anything unusual happen before the light screen appeared?"

Yunming asked politely.

The old man looked around, sighed, and said, "It's in that grove of trees west of the town. Every time the light screen appears, there's a strange light flashing there."

As for anything unusual, it seems that before the light screen first appeared, strange sounds came from that grove of trees, like whispers, but it was hard to make out what they were saying.

"Strange noise?"

Rose and Yunming exchanged a glance, feeling that this might be an important clue.

Upon arriving at the woods west of the town, I immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere as soon as I entered.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled as if whispering.

"Be careful."

Rose warily drew the sword from her waist.

Yunming was also completely focused; he could sense that something was watching him from all around.

"what is that?"

Rose pointed to a place in front of her that was shimmering with a faint light.

The two approached cautiously and discovered that it was a crystal emitting a faint blue light, with an invisible force flowing around it.

"This crystal looks unusual; it might be related to the light screen."

Yunming said.

Just as they were about to examine the crystal closely, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from all directions and surrounded them.

"I found you here after all."

The leader of the men in black said coldly.

"Who are you? Why are you chasing us?"

Yunming asked angrily.

"You don't need to know who we are. Just come with us, or you'll die."

The man in black said without any mercy.

"If you want to arrest us, then try it."

Rose brandished her sword, assuming a fighting stance.

The two sides instantly fell into a fierce battle.

The men in black were highly skilled in martial arts and worked together seamlessly, but Yunming and Qiangwei were not to be outdone.

Yunming, with his mysterious martial arts skills, defuses crises time and time again, while Qiangwei uses her agile swordsmanship to deal with the men in black.
