Chapter 628 -630: Ancient Thirteen Divisions – Cat Division Star

After dealing with the old man of the Yellow Millet dream, Qin Muye arrived at Shanggu Town very smoothly and also successfully obtained that ancient book.

As for Sun Zhen, he was a little bit unlucky, being dragged off to a matchmaking meeting, and he still hasn’t returned.

His misfortune had a reason, because he told his parents he would bring a friend home, so naturally, his parents thought it was a girlfriend. As a result, Qin Muye’s presence was too low, causing his parents to completely overlook him and assume Sun Zhen had been teasing them before, which is why he’d suffered this fate.

As someone who enjoyed the fun, Qin Muye, of course, watched with amusement. Was he really supposed to stop it?

Nevertheless, Sun Zhen was an honest person. Before leaving, he had turned over that ancient book.

“His family has quite an extraordinary background; his ancestors were actually the stellar officers under the Human Emperor, specially granted a… cat?” Qin Muye’s expression was a bit strange.

He hadn’t expected that an animal’s title would be bestowed, so his family was actually called the Cat Stellar Officer, and they were also the ones in charge of overseeing the Creation of the Primordial Dragon.

Unfortunately, there were no data related to the Primordial Dragon inside; instead, it talked about human ghosts as if it were a retirement diary, so most of it was actually just a collection of domestic trivialities and ancient observations.

“Human ghosts originated from the scales of the Primordial Dragon, damn, was the Primordial Dragon created from humans?” Qin Muye was also shocked. The Primordial Dragon was huge, and as described in the diary, it could cover the sky, overwhelming the Nine States beneath it.

These Nine States did not mean nine states, but rather the entire world.

“How much skin would have had to be peeled to suffice? And did they really only use human skin?” Qin Muye kept sifting through various historical records, using them to pinpoint the time period of the Creation of the Primordial Dragon.

If he could find a more precise time, he would be able to help corroborate other documentary evidence.

Fortunately, he had an intuition for history and quickly found a corresponding time point. With keywords like cat, stellar officer, and Shanggu Town, it was relatively easy, but there was little content.

Because the time was too remote, the corresponding documentary materials naturally could not be perfectly preserved over the years, and parts would not be uploaded to the internet.

Those paper records that have been handed down to today are basically antiques by now; taking them would likely result not in jail time but execution by firing squad, and if there were any, they would be collected by the All World Protector Organization, especially since it involved the existence of the Primordial Dragon.

“Did they want to create a protective deity?”

“So was it a success or a failure?”

From various documentary sources, Qin Muye barely pieced together some truth.

During the ancient war of the Human Clan, the Cat Stellar Officer, an ancestor of Sun Zhen’s family who served under the Human Emperor, achieved victory through alliance and strategy. But to ensure his people could continue to thrive after his death, he chose to create a protective deity.

Although it wasn’t explicitly stated between the lines, Qin Muye knew that slaves were used in the creation.

Where did the slaves come from? Naturally, they were the losers.

In that era, it certainly wouldn’t be like today, where slavery has been abolished. The defeated became slaves, everything belonged to the victors, whether it was body or soul, and they were made into a protective deity for the victors, the existence known as the Primordial Dragon.

“Judging from subsequent documentary records, it seems to have been a success, but considering the human ghosts fallen from the Dragon Scales, it appears to have been a failure.”

Otherwise, how could the Primordial Dragon possibly shed scales? It wasn’t a proper living creature; its scales were made from stitched human skin, so if they fell off, it definitely meant there was a problem.

And it was likely a problem that appeared after its initial success, probably a post-sale issue; otherwise the Cat Stellar Officer wouldn’t have recorded the occurrence of human ghosts.

Since he oversaw the construction, he would definitely be quite aware of the matter of Dragon Scales transforming into human ghosts.

“It’s a pity it’s not an experimental record, just a simple diary. It’s good enough to be mentioned at all. Such confidential data is unlikely to be left behind.”

“And even if he wanted to leave it, it probably wouldn’t be possible; such a huge project couldn’t be recorded in just one book.”

Qin Muye maintained his composure, and did not allow the lack of records about the Primordial Dragon to affect him negatively.

“However, it does mention Tiger General Soldier, Ox Herald Farmer among others…”

Certain documentary records have previously indicated that there were Thirteen Divisions under the Human Emperor; they were unnamed, but if matched correctly, they could form the twelve zodiac animals.

As for the extra one, that must be the cat, which is the stellar officer of Sun Zhen’s ancestors.

Legends of ancient times did mention a zodiac connected with cats; it simply missed the cut-off. This coincidentally explained the severing of Sun Zhen’s cat lineage among the Thirteen Divisions.

“Could these Thirteen Divisions be the predecessor to Ge Wu Mansion?”

Qin Muye couldn’t help but recall this matter. If viewed separately, the Thirteen Divisions were an integration of various fields like astronomy, geography, agriculture, industry, and so on, and, in those days, Ge Wu Mansion was actually doing this.

It likely involved issues of power transition because if the Thirteen Divisions were communicating with each other, they could circumvent the authority of the Human Emperor. Yet, if power dispersed from the integration into Ge Wu Mansion, it would lead to centralization to secure the ruler’s interest.

“So, it’s really a one-stop service. Maybe even Ge Wu Mansion played a role in abolishing the imperial autocracy back in the day.”

If Ge Wu Mansion hadn’t made a move, the current lofty status of the All World Protector Organization would be impossible.

“So both the orders from Central Carriage Mansion of the past and the Thirteen Divisions have become the heads of the organizations led by the twelve zodiacs of today.”

“But think about it, if the imperial system had an enlightened and martial emperor, that would be fine. But if it ended up with a fool, it would likely drag everyone down with it.”

“The All World Protector Organization probably found a way to deal with internal decay, which is why it could maintain such efficiency.”

Qin Muye suspected this was largely due to Dragon Veins.

“Could Dragon Veins be related to the Primordial Dragon? After all, they both contain the word ‘dragon’.”

Well, that was just his guess. He even speculated that the Dragon and Snake God was related to the Primordial Dragon, since they also shared the ‘dragon’ character.

“Let the main body give the Dragon and Snake God Emperor another beating to see if anything can be learned from him.”

To confirm his speculations, action was needed, so only the main body could go, especially since it was conveniently confined with the Dragon and Snake God Emperor.

Asking Doctor Dragon would likely yield no result, as Alpha Level Abnormalities might communicate with the main body, but when it came to Omega Level Abnormalities, they would either remain silent or change the subject.

After all, Doctor Dragon had lived thousands of years and kept his body in its peak condition; he couldn’t be senile, so over the years Qin Muye’s main body hadn’t extracted any valuable information from him.

Whoever was in charge of Dragon Vein affairs was definitely not easy to deal with. Although they appeared very amiable, who knows how dark their heart could be?

However, these matters were irrelevant to him as the avatar of the Wise Man’s Book Shadow. After all, the main body would do the worrying and all he had to do was wait to share in the outcome.

If anything could be extracted from the Dragon and Snake God Emperor, it would be cause for celebration. If not, no matter, as there were no leads to begin with; things would simply stay the same, which was hardly a significant issue.

This ancient logbook was quickly finished, and only then did Qin Muye belatedly realize something: since the Human Emperor Period, there had been no changes in the writing system.

Otherwise, how could Sun Zhen, as a child, have understood it?

“Hiss~ Somehow, I feel like this is a bigger deal than the Primordial Dragon!” Qin Muye was astonished, realizing that one shouldn’t downplay the significance of this just because it didn’t possess any literal firepower.

Over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the script had remained exactly the same as it was in Ancient Times, something even the Gendaya Civilization, with their basis in psychic communication, had not managed to achieve.

Scripts like cuneiform and hieroglyphics evolved and increased with the development of civilizations, but in this ancient logbook, Qin Muye saw no such change, for the script was identical to the modern text.

“Could this also be the work of some Omega Level Abnormality?” Qin Muye’s imagination ran wild, and this abnormality might not be inferior to artificially created beings like the Primordial Dragon.

Otherwise, this phenomenon couldn’t be explained.

‘This world is still dangerous, the main body still wants to consume… wouldn’t want to end up consuming itself to death after gobbling everything up.’ Qin Muye was also a bit worried; this ancient book revealed just a terrifying sliver of the world.

This instance’s World Energy Level could probably match that of a Rank 9 server.

But what the main body decided to do was not for an avatar to interfere with. He simply needed to feed back the collected intel to the main body. Whatever ensued was none of his concern; he had no interest in meddling with things he shouldn’t.

Let the main body handle problematic matters like these. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t solve them, so why worry about it?

After securing the ancient book properly, he pondered taking a stroll around Shanggu Town to see if there were any other gains to be had.
