Chapter 653: 652. Three-digit _1 Chapter 653: 652. Three-digit _1 “This is the record of Doomsday,”

Charlotte said, as the scenery around them began to dim, Lu Ban and she were once again back in the midst of that vast whiteness.

Lu Ban felt a sense of peeling away, as if someone had combed over his head, smoothing out all the winding grooves, the sights and sounds he had just witnessed had been extracted from his brain, and besides remembering that he had witnessed the coming of an apocalypse in a Foreign Domain, the details had been completely forgotten.

The feeling was similar to when he had held the Suona, or the [Sword of Physics].

Knowledge spread like a spider’s web inside his mind, then was subsequently withdrawn as soon as contact ceased.

“Is the knowledge of the Splendid Realm preserved in this way?”

Lu Ban suddenly realized.

There were no bookshelves or books here to begin with, as a highly developed civilization with a deep understanding of Foreign Domains, the Splendid Realm naturally knew how to avoid the Pollution that knowledge brought while acquiring it.

Scholars reviewed extremely secret and highly Polluted documents in these rooms and analyzed them. Once they had their answers, they simply needed to leave the room to forget the corresponding knowledge, keeping only the final conclusion.

It was like giving a primary school student the knowledge of calculus; he used that knowledge to figure out the answers, and when he left the room, all he needed to remember was the solution in order to solve complex problems.

The thinking process of humans is essentially a reworking of collected information, and this library was built precisely to avoid Pollution while passing on knowledge and gathering information.

In this way, most scholars could touch upon more of the civilizations of the Foreign Domains with only minimal contamination and come up with the correct answers.

Moreover, such a strategy could also be used to restrict what users could access based on their level, ensuring that only those who had reached a certain level had the permission to summon and view dangerous knowledge, preventing the Pollution from leaking among common people.

“They are quite clever, coming up with this method to avoid Pollution, even if temporarily exposed to too much knowledge leading to madness, one can still use the devices of the library to wash away the corresponding memories to return to normal,”

Charlotte said this in a flat tone, without much admiration.

“To this day, the technology they developed is still spreading in the Foreign Domains, you must have come in contact with it,”

“Yes,”

Lu Ban answered.

His own Suona and the long-gone crowbar seemed to be Extraordinary Items made using this technology; they were indeed very useful and caused little Pollution to people.

He simultaneously made some associations.

“If the people of the Splendid Realm could flexibly use this technology, then even if facing Ancient Overlords, they could return to normal after completing the Seals.”

To Seal an Ancient Overlord, one must have a certain understanding of these great beings, and that understanding is the knowledge that brings Pollution. With the system of this library, the people of the Splendid Realm could attempt to find ways to counter the Ancient Overlords in these rooms and then forget the details related to the Ancient Overlords after leaving, keeping only the methods tested and discussed.

No wonder the people of the Splendid Realm were able to Seal those Ancient Overlords.

“It could be said so, of course, the specifics of implementation vary greatly. The people of the Splendid Realm inherently have a strong ability to combat Pollution, for they themselves worship the Outer Gods who are full of Pollution.”

Charlotte nodded slightly while her hand searched the wall, trying to find something else.

“Aren’t they worshiping you?”

Lu Ban asked curiously.

Charlotte’s implication was that there were other Outer Gods.

Lu Ban pondered, just Charlotte in her original form already had thousands of incarnations, each with the power and Pollution of an Ancient Overlord. If other Outer Gods still existed, this Foreign Domain was probably filled with traces of Ancient Overlords everywhere.

“It is not me, there are a total of three beings of the same rank as my original form,” Charlotte said. As she spoke, Lu Ban felt a burning sensation in his brain. Just hearing the word “three,” it seemed as if ten million ants were scurrying within his head, gnawing at the delicate cerebral cortex, trying to leave their mark.

Charlotte seemed completely unaware of this and continued.

“Aside from my original form, one of the other two is shrouded in darkness. They are an offspring of darkness itself, possessing the most formidable breeding capabilities. In the Foreign Domain, most of the Ancient Overlords are submissive to it. All Mutations are related to it. It governs all transformation, Pollution, and Corrosion. In some Foreign Domains, their image is distorted through dissemination, and you might have seen them, those things called the Black Queen Mother,” she said.

Hearing Charlotte’s words, Lu Ban’s ears buzzed, engulfed by a droning sound, his eardrums burst, and he could no longer hear. But Charlotte’s words were not conveyed through the air but flowed into Lu Ban’s mind in the form of a concept. This caused a strange, worm-like thing to spread beneath his skin; his innards churned, and countless tiny spines formed within those smooth organs. Lu Ban coughed twice and vomited one of his organs, along with more blood that was enough to stain the walls red.

Yet Charlotte’s words continued without a hint of pause or pity, as if reciting a dirge for Lu Ban.

“As for the other one, they dominate time and space, are omniscient, understand past, present, future, and are the source of all knowledge and Pollution in the world. Their existence is knowledge itself. Every moment, this supreme being spreads knowledge to all the Foreign Domains. It could also be said they are the source of Pollution. They are an entity that all Ancient Overlords try to court, and they are also the Divine Beings worshiped by the civilization of the Splendid Realm,” she explained.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ban’s entire brain seemed to boil. He heard countless murmurs ringing in his ears, those murmurs like calls from distant heights, making his whole body heat up. The next moment, Lu Ban melted completely.

He turned into a puddle of flesh, splattered on the marble floor, as if minced meat that had been forcefully slapped onto a chopping board, scattered everywhere.

Charlotte stopped narrating and glanced at Lu Ban on the floor with an innocent tilt of her head, ready to pick up the melted Lu Ban when she saw grass growing out of the flesh and blood.

Charlotte propped her chin and watched for a while, then went back to touching the wall, searching for information.

It wasn’t until a quarter of an hour later that Lu Ban finally consolidated again.

He was gasping for breath and looked resentfully at Charlotte, who was focused on absorbing knowledge.

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

“No,” Charlotte immediately replied.

“You definitely did it on purpose!” Lu Ban affirmed decisively.
