"Note 1 - Investiture of the Gods (fragment): The former source of power in the Heavenly Realm, the foundation of rules and order, containing some of the original owner's Daoist essence... but it is missing its core components and can only be used in special environments."
Shen Qian was taken aback when he saw the first line of annotation, and then showed a surprised expression.
The system has a pretty high opinion of the Investiture of the Gods...
From that brief introduction, the Investiture of the Gods can almost be regarded as the embodiment of the rules of the celestial realm.
But then I thought about it again and it made sense. This was originally an incomplete Investiture of the Gods, but after Jiang Chengye and Zhong Li found a way to use it, they directly used it as a medium to recreate part of the celestial realm from back then, and could even grant immortal titles, which was equivalent to mass-producing high-level Mountain and Sea Realm experts...
In hindsight, this is indeed a kind of magical artifact.
Moreover, the rumors weren't entirely wrong; the Investiture of the Gods (the Heavenly Book) did indeed contain remnants of the Heavenly Emperor's Daoist essence. If one studied it deeply enough, one could indeed use it to glimpse the "Dao" that the Heavenly Emperor had once walked and uncover the secrets of a powerful emperor.
Wait, the missing core component... could it be the Nine Heavens Ranking?
Shen Qian was startled, then suddenly realized something.
The mysterious figure wielding the Nine Heavens Ranking was shrouded in mystery. Before the sinking, there were even speculations that he might be the incarnation of a top-tier expert.
If the Nine Heavens Ranking is indeed the core component of the Investiture of the Gods mentioned by the system, that is, the part that truly contains the original owner's Daoist essence, then the behavior of Tianji Ke using the Nine Heavens Ranking to crown many geniuses can also be explained.
No one in this world would do something thankless. Perhaps the Heavenly Mystery Guest is trying to decipher the Heavenly Emperor's "Dao" or repeat what the Heavenly Emperor once did through this behavior.
Targeting the younger generation of geniuses makes it easier for them to control the group.
This also fully explains why the system directly generated a second battery pack simply by absorbing the divine light overflowing from the Nine Heavens Ranking. The true power of the "core component" may even be greater than the fragment of the Investiture of the Gods in Jiang Chengye's hands.
The Council of Kings and Nobles remained bystanders, and neither Wu Wei nor anyone else stopped the Heavenly Mystery Guest. Perhaps they, too, wanted to glean insights into the Heavenly Emperor's path, or perhaps...
They also hoped that the human race could produce an Emperor-level powerhouse as soon as possible.
He pondered the matter in a divergent direction before sinking in.
He temporarily suppressed these speculations and looked at the second line of the note.
"Note 2 - In the shattered Lingxiao Palace, you recalled some 'past' events (click to extract), and used this to trigger a resonance in spacetime, thus successfully condensing the Emperor's immortal position."
Shen Qian keenly noticed that the words "past" were actually clickable.
Does this indicate the origin of the ability to crack the system?
I was so excited before I could finish that I quickly clicked to extract.
A strong feeling of dizziness came over me, and then I felt as if I had entered a hazy dream, where I saw some fragmented images.
In the ethereal and majestic Lingxiao Palace, he sat high above, looking down upon countless immortals and gods...
Amidst the violent tremors, he annihilated countless heavenly soldiers, and with a single punch, sent the figure clad in seven-colored armor flying, landing on the dilapidated Lingxiao Palace...
A golden hand, blotting out the sky, descended inverted form, enveloping the endless heavens...
White clothes...
He awoke abruptly before sinking, and all the images around him shattered.
Recalling the scene he had witnessed, Shen Qian couldn't help but furrow his brow.
What the heck?
Judging from the first image, it clearly appears to be from the perspective of the Heavenly Emperor.
But... the Heavenly Emperor has already denied that the system is his legacy.
That's not right either. It seems that the Heavenly Emperor only denied that he had the consciousness to control the system, but he seemed to know where the system's secret came from.
Moreover, it was the appearance of the "Heart of the Heavenly Emperor" that caused the system to go out of control...
The truly bizarre scene is the second one. Surely the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't be attacking his own gods and immortals?
Before sinking, he wondered if that was a scene from when the Heavenly Emperor had fallen into demonic possession.
But Shen Qian quickly rejected the idea.
Because the seven-colored war god that he slapped away, with its iconic third eye on its forehead, was undoubtedly Erlang Shen, who once guarded the heavens.
However, judging from previous conversations with outsiders, Erlang Shen clearly did not know about the Heavenly Emperor's demonic possession.
The shattered Lingxiao Palace... Could the second perspective be Bai Wu'an, who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace?
He had a guess before sinking and quickly confirmed it.
As the residence of the Heavenly Emperor, the Lingxiao Palace was probably only destroyed once in history.
Furthermore, given the faint white robes that were visible, the system must be related to Bai Wu'an.
The unusual closeness that the Word Spirit King felt to himself, and the fact that the system could effortlessly comprehend the Nine Kings' Divine Powers, seem to corroborate this point.
But then another contradiction arises: why is the perspective of the Heavenly Emperor involved?
Moreover, what he ultimately condensed was the broken immortal position of the Heavenly Emperor, not Bai Wu'an's immortal position.
The sky-covering hand in the third image is completely unidentifiable; it could be the Heavenly Emperor's, or it could be Bai Wu'an's...
The images were too fragmented, and no more information could be obtained before the sinking.
He shook his head and looked at the third line of the annotation.
"Residence 3 - The Aura of an Emperor: A character card imprinted with the divine essence of an Emperor-level powerhouse. It can be activated after consuming 100% of its energy in one go, and it can replicate many of the Emperor-level powerhouse's techniques. The higher the host's own realm, the greater the power it can unleash."
This final note is tantamount to explaining the new function of the "Emperor's Appearance" system.
As expected before the sinking, it still depends on his own strength.
