The long-ago memories that flashed in his mind quickly calmed Lovis, and a chill ran down his spine.
He vaguely remembered that thousands of years ago, a powerful entity appeared in the inner world.
That entity was like a black hole, drifting in the starry sky, absorbing all the energy that approached it, including the power of gods!
It was a terrifying existence for Star Gods, Spirit Gods, or Celestial Gods alike.
It sailed through the inner world's starry sky with impunity. One ancient god after another awoke out of fear of it, causing several civilizations to disappear and even planets to collapse directly.
In just a hundred years, that entity became a taboo in the inner world.
Later, the entity became increasingly arrogant, initiating wars in the inner world, attempting to provoke the Supreme Ruler and ascend to the highest throne.
Then it disappeared, vanishing without a trace. From Sultan Novels,
The powerful being that had stirred up waves in the inner world vanished so casually, as if it had been erased by an eraser.
All the people it killed were resurrected, the planets it destroyed were revived, and the ancient gods it awakened returned to slumber.
Its name, appearance, and all other characteristics vanished from the minds of the beings in the inner world.
Star Gods like Lovis could at least remember that such an event had once occurred. Ordinary people, upon learning of that period of history, would degenerate into irrational creatures!
People didn't even know which Supreme Ruler it was that caused that entity to disappear…
Upon considering a certain possibility, Lovis felt a sense of dread, but he quickly regained his composure.
If a Supreme Ruler had to act, that entity must have already died. Therefore, the things in this world must have nothing to do with it.
However, regardless of anything else, anything that could absorb calamity energy was no trifle. That world was not as weak as it appeared.
The last time Lovis descended, his ritual was interrupted when his power was inexplicably absorbed.
That sensation was somewhat similar to this time, so it was likely the same person causing trouble on both occasions.
Could it be that this world had noticed Lovis's intention to invade and had specifically sent someone to monitor things related to him, dispatching this person to interrupt him every time he wanted to descend?
And to absorb his energy, fleece him?
The beings of this world were too cunning, too shameless!
Lovis instantly realized that that world was a huge pit, and he was a naive victim who had been fooled.
There was no help for it; he was accustomed to being tricked, and he saw traps in everything.
So, with a sigh, he directly severed his connection with the rune book, and the red beam of energy instantly vanished.
Continuing to stalemate would only deplete more of the power accumulated in the rune book, making his next descent incredibly difficult. Therefore, he cut his losses in time.
As long as his rune book remained in that world, he would have a chance to enter it again.
Whether this opportunity came in a few hundred years or a few thousand years, he could wait…
…
The soaring pillar of light suddenly paused, then slowly disappeared. Lovis's rune book closed automatically and then shrank to the size of a normal book.
Xia Weiyi looked at Wen Wen in disbelief, struggling to push the old underpants out with his tongue and roared.
"Impossible, you are just a mere mortal, how can you possibly interrupt a god's descent?"
Wen Wen greatly admired Xia Weiyi's act of pushing out the old underpants with his tongue, so he shrugged and said, "Either your god is not as omniscient and omnipotent as you think, or I am not a mere mortal. Which do you think it is?"
Xia Weiyi stood there in a daze, muttering something incessantly, as if something in his mind had collapsed.
Wen Wen ignored him, walked to the front of the rune book, the Disaster Gloves appeared, and he directly took the rune book into his hands.
Wen Wen had already witnessed the capabilities of this rune book before, so he naturally did not need to be overly cautious. Moreover, even if there were any traps, with the Disaster Gloves isolating them, they would not cause any harm to Wen Wen.
Once he held it, the chains wrapped around it and slowly drew the book into the containment facility. Throughout the entire process, the rune book did not resist, which saved Wen Wen some effort.
Although the containment facility could seal contained items and some monsters, it required the target to be incapable of resistance. Otherwise, containment might fail.
After the rune book disappeared, Wen Wen tapped a few times on his left hand, then snapped his fingers, and the rune book reappeared in Wen Wen's hands.
After a brief stint in the containment facility, contained items could no longer harm Wen Wen, allowing him to freely research the rune book's functions.
Upon a simple glance, Wen Wen's eyes lit up.
Like the Book of Lightning, all the writings in Lovis's rune book were in Yuta script, and the handwriting was very clear and standard.
The runic knowledge recorded within was not as simple and easy to understand as that of the Hunter Association, but its level was one tier higher.
The association might possess runic scriptures of the same level as this rune book, but their approach to applying runes might not be the same as this rune book, making this book of significant importance.
The knowledge contained solely within this rune book was already of great value. What surprised Wen Wen even more, however, was the rune book itself.
The entire rune book had over four hundred pages. The ordinary pages were filled with runic knowledge, and every ten pages, there was a special golden page. Wen Wen could engrave rune formations on these pages and solidify them on the page in the instant before activation.
When needed, this rune formation would instantly activate, releasing its effect.
Although such rune formations were single-use, rune formations themselves were rarely reusable. This book could play a significant role at crucial moments.
The lightning dragons, water elementals, and even the summoning circle that Xia Weiyi used to attack Wen Wen earlier were all things he had previously inscribed onto this rune book.
Just as Wen Wen was excitedly playing with this rune book, it suddenly moved on its own, and a loud voice echoed in Wen Wen's mind.
"Who are you…"
This voice was deafening. Although it sounded in his mind, it temporarily damaged Wen Wen's hearing.
For a weaker psychic, their skull might have been blown open.
"Who are you?" Wen Wen frowned and retorted.
"It seems you are not Him. Then I am relieved. I will eventually descend into this world. I am… Lovis."
Each word was clearer than the last, carrying more power than the one before. The immense sound wave made Wen Wen's head feel like it was churning.
This voice was not here for negotiation, but to pick a fight with Wen Wen!
