Chapter 1156: Chapter 1155: Searching for Earth

Entering the Palace of the Heavenly Book, Yusuf Zuck similarly saw the hazy space shrouded in mist and immediately spotted the stele bearing the words "Heavenly Book."

"Hmm? Could it actually be a portal?" Yusuf Zuck felt extremely perplexed. Was the Heavenly Book inside this stele or did one need to enter the Heavenly Book to view the Book of Life and Death?

Yusuf Zuck didn’t understand, but being skilled and courageous, he plunged right in—and so, he stepped forward.

"Whoo~"

Continuing through the misty space, he once again saw three steles, representing Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

"It’s inside the Heavenly Book!" Seeing these three steles, Yusuf Zuck finally confirmed that he had entered the Heavenly Book. To check the Book of Life and Death, one would indeed need to enter the Heavenly Book.

"Advance!" He entered the Humanity stele.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" As soon as he entered, a dense mass of steles appeared before his eyes, one next to the other, perhaps totaling tens of thousands, each with different inscriptions!

"Lanxiang Big World!"

"Fire Seed Big World."

"Water Source Big World."

"Elven Big World."

"Ancient Holy World."

"Yan Huang Big World."

"Heavenly Son’s Realm."

"Emperor World."

"All Things Are Dust Realm."

...

...

One Big World after another was inscribed on the steles, each with its own name, and every Big World corresponded to a planet.

Yusuf Zuck’s gaze hastily searched, and after a moment, he spotted the words for the Origin Big World!

"Does Earth belong to the Origin Big World?" Yusuf Zuck walked over to the stele of the Origin Big World and, after a moment’s hesitation, charged into it without looking back.

"Swoosh~" As soon as he entered the Origin Big World, Yusuf Zuck saw a screen materializing before him, with names flickering across it at breakneck speed.

Seeing the names flashing by, Yusuf Zuck’s face turned ashen, and his scalp tingled with numbness.

How was he to find the one he sought?

Each Big World housed countless humans—billions upon billions. Just think, from the advent of humanity on Earth, how many people had there been? It was impossible to calculate, and this screen was showing the people from the entire Big World!

"It can’t be found!" Without a second thought, Yusuf Zuck retreated, hurrying back as fast as he could.

After a moment, he left the Palace of the Heavenly Book and then looked down the stairs.

At this point, the foot of the stairs had gathered a crowd of around thirty-five thousand people, and still more were joining in groups of dozens, hundreds, or even more.

And as soon as he appeared, the originally noisy cultivators from The Nether World fell utterly silent.

Yusuf Zuck cast his piercing gaze across the thousands of people and soon locked eyes with a cringing individual.

This character was a Ninth Grade Great Emperor, and though not a supreme being, one could tell he was someone who cherished life and feared death, as he promptly closed his eyes to avoid Yusuf Zuck’s gaze. Fear had gripped him!

"It’s you!"

"Hand of the Supreme Heaven!"

"Whoosh~" Out of nowhere, the Hand of the Supreme Heaven appeared above that person’s head. In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, the Ninth Grade Great Emperor was snatched up and whisked out of the Palace of the Heavenly Book!

"Spare my life, great one, please spare my life!~" As expected of someone who feared death, he had come here merely to join the fray—how could he have expected this ancient demon would seize him?

"Why must you capture me instead of someone else?"

"Let him go!"

"Let him go!"

"You are opposing The Nether World!"

"You are simply defying heavenly principles!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Perhaps Yusuf Zuck’s actions had provoked many fearless cultivators of The Nether World, and under the influence of some, everyone joined in chorus shouting "Kill, kill, kill!"

"Hmph!" Yusuf Zuck suddenly snorted coldly and then turned around to return to the Palace of Heavenly Book!

The outside may have been noisy, but nobody actually charged forward.

After all, everyone fears death, especially the high-level cultivators, because cultivation is hard. If they die, wouldn’t that all be in vain?

Of course, they might not have figured out a strategy yet, so the current situation was to shout slogans and avoid actual conflict as much as possible!

"Sir, have mercy..." The person held in Yusuf Zuck’s hand had gone pale with fear, his whole body trembling, for he realized that in this man’s grasp, he had no strength to struggle free.

"I won’t kill you, but you must tell me how to consult the Heavenly Book!"

"Uh... sure, sure, no problem, I know how, I know!" The man nodded repeatedly.

After Yusuf Zuck reconnected several sections, he arrived in front of the origin star system’s screen and asked, "I want to find a relative of mine, but there are too many names here, flashing too quickly. How should I search?"

"It’s very simple," the man responded promptly. "Press your finger on it, and the screen will pause. Then slide your finger and it will flip to the next page. Once on the second page, it won’t flash anymore, and specific planets will appear. Then, just slide your finger to search for the relevant surname!"

"Alright, I’ll give it a try!" Yusuf Zuck hadn’t anticipated it to be this simple and quickly extended his finger to press on the Heavenly Book!

"Whoosh~" Indeed, the moment his finger touched the screen, the flashing paused. Yusuf Zuck gently slid his finger, and the flashing screen flipped over, revealing a myriad of suspended planets, each bearing names.

So close, and the visual impact was stunning. Yusuf Zuck faintly felt as if this was some high technology computer or a super tablet computer, even a touchscreen at that!

His finger slid unceasingly, searching for a planet shaped like Earth or for the word "Earth," and he also asked curiously, "How was this Heavenly Book formed? Who placed it here?"

"Heavenly Dao!" The man seemed somewhat knowledgeable and answered quickly, "The formation of the Heavenly Book dates back to the creation of heaven and earth. After the Three Realms were formed, life and death came into existence, and along with them, the Heavenly Book. This is not the work of mortals, but set by Heavenly Dao."

"What exactly is the Heavenly Book, then?"

"That... I do not know," the man shook his head.

"Hmm, not here?" As they conversed, Yusuf Zuck had already flipped through once and returned to the first few planets, but he had not seen the word "Earth" nor found any planet resembling Earth!

"Maybe I flipped through too quickly? Let’s go again." Yusuf Zuck continued searching with more focus the second time around.

Yet, after a while, he still did not find Earth.

Or rather, it seemed that the origin star system did not include Earth!

"That’s impossible, Earth should be accessible within the origin star system. Let’s go again!" Yusuf Zuck refused to give in, continuing to the third, fourth attempt.

On the fifth attempt, he singled out several planets extremely similar to Earth; though these weren’t named Earth, the name Earth was given by Earthlings, and perhaps Heavenly Dao called it something else!

So, he continued to open up these several planets.

He didn’t start looking for Ariel Higgins’ name, but instead on these planets, he searched for names he thought were easy to find and remember.

For example, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and the like.

Only... after searching through several planets consecutively, he found none of those famous names, and he even realized that the surnames on these planets, as well as some birth dates, did not correspond with Earth at all!

Not here!

Yusuf Zuck’s expression turned unsightly.
