The golden light on the Nine Heavens Ranking was indeed absorbed by Shen Qian, but strangely, Shen Qian did not know where it went.
He did not have his own "Dao", so there was no way for him to elevate his Dao. Neither his internal energy nor his physical body was strengthened.
In other words, the golden light disappeared from Shen Qian's body as if it had vanished into thin air.
However, considering that the system had briefly taken over Shenqian's body at that time, Shenqian estimated that he could still find the answer.
Finding the nearest filing cabinet, Shen Qian indeed found a log of phone calls marked with today's date.
He clicked on it, but there were only a few lines of text inside.
"You sensed a familiar presence (17:37)"
You have performed the mysterious incantation (17:38) (Note 1)
You absorbed energy from the fragments of the Investiture of the Gods (17:41) (Note 2)
You have successfully expanded the system's capacity and obtained a second battery pack (17:42).
..."
The log ended abruptly there. The seemingly simple four sentences contained two annotations and four sentences that were completely incomprehensible before the crash.
What does "familiar scent" mean?
Could it be that the Nine Heavens Ranking or the Heavenly Secrets Guest has some kind of connection with me?
Shen Qian frowned and clicked on the first line of annotation.
"Note 1: Mysterious incantation - an incantation of unknown origin."
Before sinking: ?
After realizing what had happened, Shen Qian was speechless with disbelief.
What's the difference between your annotation and that utter nonsense?!
What does "of unknown origin" mean?
Of course I know its origin is unknown, but you've already used it, how could you not know its source?
Moreover, based on past experience, it is highly unlikely that the system would produce such ambiguous comments.
After calming down and thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out.
He could only put aside his dilemma for the time being and looked at the second annotation.
"The Investiture of the Gods—a Dao-level spiritual artifact—split apart during a cataclysmic event."
It was another extremely simple line of annotation, but this time, Chen Qian finally obtained some useful information.
Is this the Investiture of the Gods... the one I know?
Shen had first heard these three words in a series of ancient myths and legends that he later studied intensively.
Legend has it that during the transition from the Shang to the Zhou dynasty, the Shang dynasty was nearing its end and the Zhou dynasty was about to rise. A powerful Taoist figure named Yuanshi Tianzun forged the God-Slaying Whip and the Investiture of the Gods to bestow titles upon the gods of Heaven.
This is important; it was actually used for bestowing titles upon gods...
Therefore, Shen Qian subconsciously felt that the Investiture of the Gods mentioned by the system was not the Investiture of the Gods from the Taoist legend.
But when he thought about the various wonders of the Nine Heavens Ranking, it seemed to have some real significance, and Chen Qian was no longer so sure.
Then I thought of the first sentence in the log of my AFK session, and that so-called familiar feeling.
If this is the case, then the "familiar aura" mentioned by the system does not actually refer to the Nine Heavens Ranking, but rather to the Investiture of the Gods behind the Nine Heavens Ranking?
Wait a minute, what if that legend isn't just a rumor...?
When did Zhou Yi Wang live?
Shen Qian suddenly remembered what Shi Dingyan had said that day, and felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't quite make it clear.
