Rebirth: City Sovereign

Looking at the middle-aged uncle who was slowly walking out from the explosion of the hole above them, Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin were both stunned for half a second.    

They remembered that person. It was this middle-aged man in front of them who had infiltrated the Vermillion Bird Palace's system and successfully created the illusion that all the God Clan Cultivator s had died from the explosion of the Black Turtle Palace. This was the first victory in the battle between God Clan and Black God Clan.    

But after that, it was as if this man had disappeared from the God Clan Continent, and Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin had never seen him again.    

"Heh heh."    

Lir supported himself up and down the cliff with one hand and landed in front of Ye Kai through a hole above his head. He sized up Ye Kai, who was covered in dirt due to the constant collisions between the Magic Arts Mechanism s and himself, and teased him while pretending to be shocked.    

"Oh? "I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you doing?"    

"It's almost over. Are you planning on changing your cool image?"    

"Alright, how's the investigation team going?" Ye Kai asked coldly.    

"Hehe, not bad." Lil replied with a smile as he habitually ruffled his greasy hair.    

"The Barrier great formation of the White Tiger Palace and Green Dragon Palace was indeed destroyed."    

"Can you be sure who did it?" Ye Kai asked again.    

"I don't know, I've never seen that method before. It's not a virus that invades two palaces, nor an offensive spell that brutally breaks open Magic Formation. It feels more like …"    

"He issued some sort of command, something similar to 'break it for me'. Then, the White Tiger Palace and the Green Dragon Palace's Barrier great formation obediently shattered just like that."    

Lear's analogy was unclear, but when Ye Kai heard it, he opened his eyes slightly wide to confirm.    

"Are you sure?"    

"I'm sure." Since it was something that Ye Kai had instructed him to investigate, he would do his best to do it.    

This time, Ye Kai's expression was a little ugly.    

This was because Lear's description looked very much like a spell that could only be used at the peak of Deity Cultivator.    

The spirit of words.    

Just by speaking out and issuing orders, he was able to achieve the same effect as those powerful spells. And the person who was able to do this, or to be precise, the Deity Cultivator, had to cultivate their Supreme Stage of Magic Arts to the peak, just a step away from rising into the sky.    

If it really was like this, then that would mean that other than the Holy Sovereign Di Huang, no matter if it was an enemy or friend, there was still a powerful Deity Cultivator moving alone on the God Clan Continent.    

"Could it be you …"    

Ye Kai chanted slowly in his heart, and then, he looked at Lear and continued to ask.    

"Let's put this matter aside first. We'll talk about it later."    

"What do you think of this Great Book Sea Array?"    

"What do you think …" Lear hesitated for a moment before he turned around and looked around at the innumerable books on the wall and said.    

"No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like a real magic formation."    

"What does that mean?" Hee Yan who was listening to their conversation asked.    

They knew that although Zhu Yuanque was unprepared, being able to invade the Vermillion Bird Palace System while the other races, machines and data must be much more knowledgeable than them.    

"How many Magic Arts Mechanism do you think a floating palace like this can hold?"    

Hearing that Lear's question was unrelated to the current situation, both Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin were stunned, and did not have much of a reaction.    

"I don't know, but what does this have to do with the Great Book Sea Array we're in right now?" Hee Tianxin shook her head and asked.    

Lear flew to the wall of one of the books, looked at the heavy books, and went on.    

"I believe you should also know that ever since you entered this formation, the memories you had of entering the Vermillion Bird Palace yourself seemed to have been extracted."    

"This is very normal, for a large formation to have the effect of trapping the opponent, it is necessary to keep the secrets of the formation under strict control. Thus, no matter how hard you try to recall, it is impossible to remember how you entered the Great Book Sea Array."    

"Of course, it's the same for me."    

Lear turned around and looked at the three of them, a little embarrassed.    

"Thus, the first doubt has already been wiped out by that scheming Zhu Yuanque. We can only start from the second doubt."    

"Numbers." Hee Yan who had been listening carefully suddenly spoke out.    

"What you mean is, there's really too many of these Magic Arts Mechanism, so many that it has exceeded the normal level?"    

Lear's eyes flashed with admiration.    

"That's right, I was once the highest ranked technician in the God Realm Capital. I designed, researched, and personally made countless Magic Arts Mechanism, so I understand this kind of thing the best."    

"Just from the size alone, the Divine Capital is at least five hundred times the size of this Vermillion Bird Palace."    

"But, how many Magic Arts Mechanism s do you think there are that even the gods can afford to install?"    

Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin did not speak, they only waited for Lear's answer.    

"At most twenty thousand."    

"What …"    

This time, the last bit of calmness disappeared from his face. Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin looked startled, both of them had expressions of disbelief.    

"Divine Capital that is five hundred times larger than Vermillion Bird Palace can only install twenty thousand Magic Arts Mechanism? "But …"    

Hee Yan stopped midway.    

"I know what you're trying to say." Lear smiled bitterly.    

"However, just by looking at the Magic Arts Mechanism that Ye Kai had just destroyed, it would probably be at least a million."    

"The two of you should be glad that you survived by following Ye Kai. Only a monster of his level can resist an attack that ignores the laws of physics. If it were a normal Deity Cultivator, they would have already died in this endless array of spells."    

"So, what you're saying is that it's simply impossible for such a formation mechanism to exist?" Hee Tianxin who had just recovered from being shocked, asked.    

"Yeah, even if the technology behind Black God Clan is a bit better than my God Realm, this has long since exceeded the limits of construction."    

"Then, since they don't exist, then could it be that most of these Magic Arts Mechanism are illusions?" Hee Yan moved closer, and started to think hard too.    

"Of course not."    

"Hey, hey, I'm clearly a Supreme Stage of Illusory Arts cultivator, is it really okay to say something like that?"    

"Hee Yan, you are an illusion master yourself. You should be clear about how much spirit energy it takes to use an illusion technique and how many Spiritual Strength s it costs."    

"If these millions of Magic Arts Mechanism were all an illusion technique, do you think that Zhu Yuanque alone can withstand them all?"    

"Indeed, indeed …" Hee Yan nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, secretly praising Lear's abilities in his heart.    

It was clear that the three of them were trapped in the array and could not find a way out. Although it was not done yet, in Hee Yan's heart, his originally confused thoughts had a clear solution to the problem.    

Lear let out a long breath and continued to read.    

"After saying so much, what I want to say is, from the very beginning, the two of you have been thinking in the wrong direction."    

"Being attracted by the traps and the countless Magic Arts Mechanism, thinking about how to break through and how to get out of the endless Great Book Sea Array is in the wrong direction."    

"The real problem is …"    

"This Great Book Sea Array itself!" The last sentence was not spoken by Lear, but rather, both Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin spoke up at the same time.    

"Yes, so my guess is... This Great Book Sea Array itself... "    

"It doesn't really exist!"    

As Lear spoke up to this point, he did something that both Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin did not expect.    

He actually stretched out his right hand and grabbed at a black book mechanism.    

"Hey!" "Be careful …"    

Just as Hee Yan was about to say that opening the book would trigger the Magic Arts Mechanism, Lear smiled confidently.    

"Don't worry, young man. I, the supreme technician of the former god, will not be injured by such a complicated mechanism."    

He held the black book in his right hand as he spoke. Rays of spiritual energy were being sent into the black book.    

"I don't know if you guys have heard about it, but if you want to uncover the truth behind the formation, then you have to remove the mechanism inside the formation and carefully study it."    

Rays of black spirit energy also spread out from the book, colliding with the spirit energy emitted by Lear.    

"Are you ready? Zhu Yuanque. Uncle is coming to find you. "    

"Let's continue. We were only halfway through last time, so there's still a date, right?"
