Chapter 54 Jiang Ziya And The Transformation Of The Hall
Betania has released its newly created mothership, with the length of half the size of Earth and as tall as Earth with the width of two moons, it was a massive spatial hegemon.
Equipped with laser blasters, small spacecrafts ready to be deployed, and a force field deployer, it could be said to be one of the most technologically powerful existences of space.
Also, it was surrounded by seventeen space jet fighters, prepared to launch an attack at any given time.
Jeremy has only seen things like this in sci-fi movies. Seeing these in person made this knowledge-hungry teen happy.
"Can I study those things?" Jeremy asked Matthias politely.
"You just want to study?" Matthias looked at him with bafflement, 'Typical Jeremy. He was presented with a new world but he only likes the knowledge in it.' He thought helplessly.
"Follow me." Matthias said. He took out an orb and tossed it in space. It floated just above them and an archway of light opened from it, showing a huge library inside. Seeing that, Jeremy's eyes shone with delight.
He lunged towards the portal without even waiting for Matthias. "Sigh. I know he's thirsty for Knowledge, but this is too much, not even caring if his life will be endangered or not.
Matthias entered the portal and closed it.
The Hall of Knowledge has developed a lot. The Hall was already halfway full, thanks to the help of the scholars of the past, present, and future. It holds a lot of knowledge of different worlds' histories, present-day calculations, and future technological knowledge. It also holds cultivation techniques, special body physiques, knowledge of medicinal herbs, alchemy techniques, array construction, mage comprehension, and eye techniques using mana or qi.
There's also knowledge about tactics that were lost in time, and poetical biographies of the past scholars.
Matthias saw Jeremy's starry eyes exploring all of the Hall, "How large is this place?" Jeremy asked him with anticipation.
"As large as China, I guess." Matthias replied. Jeremy gasped, "I won't finish all of this in one sitting." Matthias was slack-jawed, "Of course! Obviously!"
"Follow me." Matthias waved his hand towards the front. Jeremy walked to him and they walked towards the desk.
"Oh, greetings, Godfather." Denos saw them and faced them to bow.
"At ease, Denos." Matthias waved his hand to stop him and smiled. As Matthias hadn't comprehended the Laws of Time yet, he didn't know what the changes inside the Hall.
As expected, an old man stood up and looked at him, and bowed. "Are you the one who created this humble domain?"
Matthias looked at him and saw that he was a respectable man, so he bowed and nodded in response, "I am known by the name of Matthias. May I know your humble name, Old Master?"
"I am but a humble man whose name is Jiang Ziya." Jiang Ziya replied.
"Oh, oho?!" Matthias choked in his saliva because of shock and stammered, but still regained his cool. "Greetings, Esteemed Master Jiang." He cupped his fist and bowed, with Jiang Ziya doing it in return.
"Has your stay been well?" Matthias asked. The old man nodded. "Very good." I shan't disturb you anymore." Matthias nodded and said his farewells.
Jeremy was still dumbfounded from Jiang Ziya, looking at him with reverence and amazement, "Jiang Ziya. Bro, he's Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya?"
"I think so?" Matthias nodded.
"Ha.." Jeremy gasped.
Matthias walked to Denos and asked, "What happened here, Denos?"
"I opened a gate from the alternate pasts, true present, and the alternate future." Denos replied with a smile. "Oh, good job." Matthias nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, I'll just let you read here." Matthias told Jeremy to do anything he wanted and inspected the independent space. He looked around and said, "They need beverages and food to eat."
"Denos?" He called. "Why, Godfather?" Denos asked.
"I'll connect the hall to a cafe. I'll entrust you with new employees to patrol the hall." Matthias said. "Sure thing, Godfather."
Matthias summoned his Almanac of Creation and opened it. He took a brush and started to will the brush to draw what he wanted it to.
After a minute, a protoss-like being was drawn on the Almanac. It was surrounded by four golden rings on its two arms, a collar-like ring on its neck, and a belt ring on its waist.
It has a scepted and it has no lower limbs, making it float and fly to move. It has the Laws of Space comprehended and it was tasked to patrol the Hall and know every nook and corner of the hall. It would directly report to Denos if something that violates the rules of the Hall was seen by them or if someone messed up something of the Hall's property.
There were a total of 24 patrollers and they all looked at Denos, "Greetings, Master." They then began their patrol, spreading to all of the corners of the library.
Now, Matthias added something that he recently thought of; Levels. He opened another level inside the independent space. Above the space, a void was created. Matthias willed it and the same material of wood called Spirit Emperor Wood was made as the wall of the space. He created cashier desks, tables, utensils, and a door to Cane inside the space. He also created windows that are connected to a scenery in the God's Land that will be his territory.
A pure landscape of Immortal Peaks, flying cranes, giant tortoises, and sometimes a flying dragon could be seen entirely at the windows, showing a picturesque view of an Eastern Painting.
He looked at the windows and nodded in satisfaction. He faced the desk and created another being to man the premises, or woman.
He took out his Almanac and drew a beautiful woman, not a hot woman, but a calm, gentle, elegant, and a woman of pure beauty.
She was wearing a simple white dress, resembling her purity. She has a naturally charming aura as if flowers will bloom as she walks and angels will sing praises for her every time she smiles. Looking at her, even Matthias was charmed and fell in love at first sight. But he quickly regained his disposition and smiled. He made her comprehend the Dao of Agriculture, Brewing, and Purity.
He also added the Dao of Literature, Gentleness, Love, Music, and Zither in her to even widen her field. He then willed to summon her.
He was suddenly drained of Mystic Points and would have fainted if not for him having experienced something worse. Looking at you, Denos.
