Xia Chuan asked, "What is the role of this book of evil spirits?"
"Of course it is useful, and extremely useful," the Book of Wisdom replied. "Whoever uses this Book of Evil Spirits can obtain the inheritance of evil spirits, possess their unique abilities, and even learn their various skills."
The Book of Wisdom continued, "In fact, this is one of the unique abilities of my Book of Wisdom. I can not only assist the master by enhancing wisdom and comprehension, but I can also give wisdom and knowledge to all beings. I can collect the knowledge of countless souls, create books of knowledge, and give them to mortals, allowing them to easily learn exercises and even skills."
The concept of a book of knowledge intrigued Xia Chuan.
"Book of knowledge?" he asked, eyes gleaming. He could feel the power of the Book of Wisdom. It was definitely a top-tier world item. The so-called book of knowledge was likely akin to a skill book in a game.
Ordinary people might take years—or even decades—to learn a particular skill. But with a skill book, they could instantly learn it as if they had been practicing for ten years. Knowledge would be infused into their soul, a power unique to the Book of Wisdom.
"This ability of mine is magical," the Book of Wisdom continued. "Anyone who uses the book of knowledge becomes like a believer or family member to me. All their secrets will be revealed to me, and I can pry into their minds."
"And I can even use the brainpower of these believers. With the help of many computers in Xuanhuangxing, the collective calculation power will enhance mine. The more people use the Book of Knowledge, the stronger my computing ability becomes. With unlimited computing power, I can predict the future for countless years. There will be nothing in this world—or even this universe—that can hide from me. This is the realm of omniscience."
"That's incredible," Xia Chuan marveled. He had been somewhat puzzled before, thinking the Book of Wisdom was just a powerful auxiliary item. But now, he realized it had the potential to change the world. The ability to predict the future was nearly unstoppable.
"However," the Book of Wisdom added with a note of regret, "the number of evil spirits devoured so far is still too small. The secrets of the evil spirits haven't been fully uncovered. The Book of Evil Spirits is still just a rough draft. It's far from complete."
"Just a rough draft? It's still far more powerful than most could ever master," Xia Chuan said.
"That's right," the Book of Wisdom agreed. "But there are still plenty of evil spirits out there. If we encounter them again, we can capture another group."
It added, almost eagerly, "My thirst for knowledge is limitless."
