The impact the three-legged person once had on Ye Zhongming seemed to resurface once again.
Back then, the three-legged person was the first to enlighten him about the universe, the enslaved tribes, and non-terrestrial life. Although Ye Zhongming now recognized that much of what the three-legged person told him was incorrect, he could no longer discern whether it was a deliberate deception or simply erroneous information passed down due to his âthree-legged heritageâ as a Blue lifeform.
Regardless, Ye Zhongming felt a slight sense of responsibility for the death of the three-legged person. He had once signed a contract with the three-legged people to take them out and return to his home planet. While the contract did not explicitly state a death clause, it merely said that actions should be taken when possible. However, it was undeniable that the posthumous child had later used the energy from the three-legged personâs life force to unleash the Judgment Light to kill the Holy Father.
Thus, seeing the kin of the three-legged person here inevitably brought about mixed emotions.
Upon seeing Ye Zhongming, the three-legged person thought for a moment and then smiled, âHavenât you seen anyone from my race? I am a six-limbed thought star person. You wonât find us in other Survivor Fortresses; only here, in Starshine City, or in the Library Palace can you find members of our race.â
As Ye Zhongming listened, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
âSorry, I just arrived from the home planet not long ago. Either Iâm busy training or tackling new challenges, so Iâm not very familiar with many things.â
The three-legged person waved his hand dismissively, putting away the parchment scroll, indicating for Ye Zhongming to follow him. As they walked, he explained, âActually, itâs not just you; many new generations from the All Races of the Universe also donât understand or even know about us.â
As they exited the building, the three-legged person suddenly said to Ye Zhongming, âYour guards can find a place to rest on their own. Five days later, when you come out of the Library Palace, they can accompany you back.â
Seeming to understand Ye Zhongmingâs concerns, he added, âDonât worry, no matter who you may have offended or how many want to kill you, since nothing happened before meeting me, you will be safe from now until you leave the Library Palace.â
The three-legged personâs tone was very friendly, yet there was immense confidence in his words.
Ye Zhongming couldnât help but recall what Cheng Liuji had told him about the bookkeepers in the Library Palace. Could it be that these three thousand bookkeepers were all experts?
The six guards left upon Ye Zhongmingâs indication, agreeing to pick him up from the Library Palace after five days.
The three-legged person named âRound Spearâ led him onward, walking while explaining Starshine City and the Library Palace.
From his words, Ye Zhongming learned a few things, one being that since the establishment of the Library Palace, the six-limbed thought star people had been in charge. Back then, they werenât called bookkeepers; they were appointed to manage the place due to their immense mental capacity, understanding, management skills, and equally resilient physiques.
No race was more suited to manage a library with millions of books than them.
Another thing was that the highest reading permission in the Library Palace was S-grade, with A-grade following closely. This meant that apart from the pinnacle book pavilion mentioned by Round Spear, he could access almost every other area.
Ye Zhongming also asked Round Spear about what he could read inside. Round Spear thought for a moment and told the King of Cloud Summit that he should be able to see almost everything except for some major clan secret techniques.
This news delighted Ye Zhongming immensely.
After all, in the universe, wanting to make progress without the assistance of an Evolution Potion was tough, and the training methods of the Star-Eye Clan emphasized âlightnessâ, which was not suitable for Ye Zhongming.
