MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information

Having found the key at the statue on the top floor of the Heavenly Palace, Mike held it tightly in his grasp as he leisurely walked toward the secret room on the third floor.

"I wonder what this celestial arcanum book looks like…"

With that, Mike had once again arrived at the secret door.

He inserted the key in his hand slowly into the keyhole.

As he did, he trembled slightly in excitement, anxious to see what this forbidden book that had been sealed by the G.o.ds looked like. At the same time, however, he was also somewhat afraid.

He was worried that at the reveal of this occult book, everything around him would change, possibly even affecting his mind and personality.

Creak…

He pushed the door open.

The room was dark and mysterious.

Mike felt that there seemed to be a mysterious force in the room, constantly urging him on in his subconscious.

It gave off an intense sense of oppression, which would undoubtedly have led many here simply by following their intuition.

The feeling was like the song of a siren, gradually making one forget why they came here in the first place, and eventually even who they were.

[Hidden Information: Warning! Warning! Warning! You have entered a semi-conscious state. Please use the Baptism of Holy Light to purify yourself immediately, or you will be lost here forever.]

Stunned at the sudden hidden message notification, Mike acted before he had any time to think.

He immediately sat down cross-legged before using the skill to purify himself.

"Phew, that was close… If it hadn"t been for the hint, I would"ve been stuck here forever."

After regaining his composure, he quickly became focused again.

"I need to find this arcane book as soon as possible, I can"t stay in this room for too long."

Mike raised his left hand. As he did, a bright and hot flame ignited, dancing on his palm.

The dazzling light of the flame illuminated the entire narrow room. Only then did Mike realize that the structure of this interior was roughly similar to that of the first floor.

There were only two rows of bookshelves in the entire room, and he quickly rummaged through them.

The t.i.tles of the books on them were grotesque. Simply by looking at them, Mike could imagine the villains who had written them in the past.

He couldn"t help but shudder.

After a quick search, he finally found what he had been looking for. The occult book laid just underneath the bookshelf.

As he pushed aside the bookshelf, freeing the mysterious book, a cold gust of ominous wind blew to his side.

It was as if a soul had broken free of its shackles. Breaking out of its cage, it rushed into the human world that it yearned for.

Mike s.h.i.+vered.

He brushed away the dust on the book and blew hard.

Following that, he turned to the first page.

“Those who find this book will be said to have found me. I am the original eastern G.o.d of Miracle, the Lord of love, the Lord of Solitude. This book is written by my hand in desperation.

“Though it has been many years since I ascended to G.o.dhood, I have yet one unfulfilled wish. In my quest to obtain absolute power, I have fought against the G.o.d of creation, Ogallas, several times, but I have always been disadvantaged.

“In our final battle, my mind was invaded by an evil G.o.d"s consciousness, and I inevitably fell into the dark path. The three eastern G.o.ds did their best to seal me in the Heavenly Palace.

“My younger brother tried to subdue the evil G.o.d"s power. In his determination to do so, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his divine body. My younger sister"s heart was broken, leading her to pet.i.tion Ogallas to be permanently sealed in the spiritual world of the Heavenly Palace.

“I am ashamed of what has befallen the three G.o.ds of the east. Before I died, I wrote this book, containing all of my life"s knowledge and experiences. May it find its way to the fated person destined to obtain it.

“Those who have cultivated to a minor level may freely roam the world of Miracle. There will be none who can rival them. Those who cultivate to a higher level may ascend to become a G.o.d, destroying mountains and rivers in one breath.

“Those who cultivate to an even further extent will find themselves comparable to the creator G.o.d Ogallas, who can destroy the sun, moon, and stars with his bare hands.

“If this fated person is willing to atone for my sins, I will give unto them what I loved most in my previous life.”

As Mike read all this, his doubts towards Zhao Ruoxian were dispelled.

It turns out that such a story actually took place in the previous lives of the three G.o.ds of the east…

Mike couldn"t help but feel sorry for this legendary love-sealing G.o.d.

“The atonement in question regards my sister, the heart-severing main G.o.d. Rebuild her divine body. When the heart-severing G.o.d returns to the world of Miracle, she will recover her memories.”

“With that achieved, she will hand over my beloved treasure.”

As he saw this, Mike"s doubts started to resurface.

"If this G.o.d"s strength was comparable to the creator G.o.d, Ogallas, why could his divinity have been corrupted by an evil G.o.d"s consciousness?

"And why would this radiant celestial have lost his memories regarding this part?"

After reading the first few pages of the Celestial Arcanum, he was beginning to doubt the words of this forbidden book quite a bit.

"Also, why would this book have been sealed in the Heavenly Palace instead of the main body of love-sealing G.o.d? Where is the main body?"

[Hidden Information: The Celestial Arcanum retains a large amount of the evil G.o.d"s consciousness. Its contents have been modified by the evil G.o.d. The Baptism of Holy Light can purify the evil in the first sections of the Celestial Arcanum. It is recommended to first learn the first seven chapters of cultivation following purification of the Celestial Arcanum. In the future, after gaining a more powerful purification skill, you may completely erase all trace of the evil G.o.d"s consciousness that exists in the book, purifying the Celestial Arcanum.]

After seeing the hidden information"s warning, he relaxed a little.

"That was close… I was almost manipulated by the evil G.o.d"s consciousness. This hidden message came just in time."

Mike activated the Baptism of Holy Light spell, bringing the arcanum up to his forehead.

A burst of pure white light sparked in the small room, dissipating a large amount of gray evil energy that exuded off the book, slowly fading away.

As the Holy Light fell, Mike opened his eyes and gazed at the Celestial Arcanum in his hands.

"After all that, now I can only learn the first seven chapters? Sigh, at least it"s better than nothing, right?"

He continued to flip through the Celestial Arcanum before landing on the first chapter of the Celestial Arcanum cultivation method.

“Mind transfer technique!”

“Mastery of the mind transfer technique will allow the creation of brand new life forms in the cultivator"s spiritual world. These life forms will possess all the same characteristics and talents as the cultivator. The cultivator may freely design the appearance of the life form to their wishes, and may freely switch between the real and spiritual worlds with this life form.”

After reading these words, Mike was overjoyed.

His ability to create a clone has by now probably been thoroughly investigated by the royal palaces after he had used it in his battle against the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast.

As long as he mastered this mind transfer technique, he could create a brand new life form again.

As long as the cultivator didn"t die, the appearance of the life form could also continuously be changed.

"This would allow me to freely switch between all kinds of aliases! This mind transfer technique is really amazing!"

Without saying much, Mike continued to flip through the profound mysteries of the Celestial Arcanum, before beginning to rapidly cultivate the mind transfer technique.

Outside the Heavenly Palace…

Zhao Ruoxian was struck with a bad feeling in her heart.

“That kid… could it be that he"s found that book?”
