"Of course, it would be best if Fang Heng is willing to help."
Fang Heng immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Guillermo. "Let's get started, Guillermo. To be honest, I've always been curious about what methods the Book of Greleng contains for dealing with the 'Jealousy' demonic seed."
"Ha..."
Upon hearing this, Guillermo also slowly stood up and faced Fang Heng, a meaningful smile spreading across his face, "You're sure to be astonished."
With that, Guillermo placed the Book of Greleng flat in front of him.
Huh?
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.
Were they really starting now?
As Guillermo slowly infused the psychic force carrying the aura of the "Jealousy" demonic seed into the Book of Greleng, swirling hellish prayers appeared on its metallic cover.
The eye on the metal layer slowly closed.
"Click..."
The locked Book of Greleng opened.
Guillermo ceased his release of mental strength and eagerly began to flip through the pages, studying them intently.
Fang Heng patiently waited beside him.
"The Book of Greleng contains a significant portion of prayers left by the 'Jealousy' demonic seed. Just as we suspected, its specific function is to trigger mageweaths..."
Guillermo furrowed his brow as he translated the information recorded in the Book of Greleng. After a moment, he nodded and said, "A large part of the subsequent content is written in ancient demon language, which is quite intricate. Translating it all will take some time."
"Fang Heng, do you want someone to take you to rest for a bit?"
Fang Heng glanced at Yu Jiayuan and her companions beside him and nodded. "Sure, just arrange a large lounge for us."
Guillermo didn't think too much about it. He waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to take Fang Heng and the others back to rest.
...
Back in the lounge, Fang Heng summoned over twenty zombie clones, each with a book from the conservative library in hand, beginning to read.
The high-tier books taken from the Occult Association's library had protection levels comparable to the Book of Greleng, so they were clearly not just ordinary texts.
He hoped to find some clues related to the demonic seed among them.
Yu Jiayuan and her companions joined Fang Heng in their search.
Many of the books focused on advanced topics in the occult.
They decided to set those aside for now, planning to use them later for the zombie clones to gain experience.
The remaining books, containing information on demonic seeds, were the ones they really needed.
"Fang Heng, take a look at this section."
Soon, Yu Jiayuan found a biography and handed the book to Fang Heng.
He immediately bent down to examine it.
A passage detailed the founding period of the Occult Research Society. Greleng was one of its founders.
Initially, Greleng and a few other exceptionally talented young individuals frequently gathered to explore and discuss the occult.
Their understanding of the occult had reached the pinnacle of the world, earning them the admiration of all as masters of the discipline.
In pursuit of higher advancements in the occult, they were always trying to find breakthroughs through various rituals.
Until one day...
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat when he spotted a word in the text—White Abyss!
They had also received an invitation from the White Abyss!
Fang Heng quickly flipped through the pages.
Indeed, they went to the White Abyss.
So, the demonic seed was also something they brought back from the White Abyss?
Fang Heng's heart raced with excitement.
The book contained only a brief description of the White Abyss. It detailed how the group, after much hardship, obtained the key to furthering their studies in the occult—the "Encyclopedia of Occult Creatures."
This book outlined numerous summoning rituals for various occult beings.
By summoning these creatures and using them as research models, they could break through the limitations of the occult and gain deeper knowledge.
However, the success rate for ordinary summoning was exceedingly low, nearly impossible to achieve.
In response, the group took the risk of employing a magic array recorded in the book that could shatter the world's shackles, thereby dismantling the barrier between their world and the realm of the occult, forging a closer link between both.
The result was that the barrier between this world and the various occult realms was opened, dramatically increasing the success rate of summoning creatures from the occult.
At that time, the Free School of Occultism believed that the advancement of the occult required a collective effort and urged the founders to publicly share the "Encyclopedia of Occult Creatures," enabling scholars to summon creatures freely.
However, the founders unanimously felt that the summoning techniques recorded in the book were too dangerous and hesitated to disclose them.
Unbeknownst to them, someone leaked the book's contents privately.
As a result, numerous copies of the manuscript were made.
The occult disciplines experienced a period of explosive expansion, significantly boosting their overall strength.
However, problems soon arose.
Due to the rampant misuse of summoning techniques, scholars summoned creatures from hell, including corrupted followers of the demonic seed.
Fang Heng slowly closed the book.
That was where the account ended.
To prevent further pollution, the founders established the Occult United Association to halt any research related to demons and hell, setting rules that would later be viewed as conservative by future generations.
"What do you all think?"
"I don't think everything in the book is necessarily true," Yu Jiayuan replied, shaking her head. "The book was compiled from the oral accounts of the three founders by members of the Occult Association, and it paints a rather embellished picture of them. The reality might not have been so straightforward."
"Yes, that's definitely a possibility."
Fang Heng nodded and briefly recounted the events related to the White Abyss.
After hearing about the White Abyss, everyone fell silent once more.
"I think the 'Jealousy' demonic seed wouldn't casually hand over the Encyclopedia of Occult Creatures or the ritual to break the world's shackles to those three. They must have reached some sort of agreement," Fang Heng said, pausing to look at everyone. "For instance, to help seal the Jealousy seed."
Yu Jiayuan nodded vigorously. "Exactly! The seal you saw at the Star Mage Tower was likely established with the help of the demonic seed." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, Luo Xu frowned and asked, "But if the Gluttony entity was sealed by the Jealousy seed for those three founders, then why is it in the hands of the Revolution Society? And why is it Jealousy that's sealed in the Star Mage Tower?"
"Come on," Sun Zhaoyu scoffed. "What's so strange about that? They probably had a falling out."
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Fang Heng heard a knocking sound at the door and signaled for everyone to stop talking. He put away the book and got up to open the door.
Outside, two members of the Revolution Society nodded, "Mr. Fang Heng, have you all rested? Supervisor Guillermo needs to see you urgently."
"Has there been any discovery with the Book of Greleng?"
"Yes, the research team has completed the translation and found quite a bit of useful information."
"Good, let's head over right away."
Fang Heng and the others immediately followed the two members to the underground hall.
