Chapter 986: The Price Of Evolution (1)
Li Xiaofei took out the book and opened it. After reading it carefully for a while, he felt somewhat disappointed. It turned out to be a divine scripture resembling a religious text.
The contents were a mixture of theology and history, offering little research value and written in an obscure, difficult-to-understand manner. Li Xiaofei lost interest after reading it for a short while.
He rummaged through the crab-headed mage’s pouch again. Finally, he found another book. This one was a journal-like booklet. Its contents were exactly the kind of information Li Xiaofei was interested in.
"Alena’s evolution encountered problems. The fire elemental power within her began to spiral out of control. The Grand Elder went to save her..."
"The flame beasts in the Sea of Divinity have been acting abnormally lately."
"One of the Nine High Priests went mad and began proclaiming to the outside world that we have strayed onto a false path of evolution and angered the gods..."
"Yesterday, more than thirty deaths occurred in the city due to uncontrolled elemental forces."
"The favor of the God of Evolution is slipping away from us."
"The Grand Elder traveled to the deepest part of the Divine Lake, seeking the Soul of Elements in an attempt to mend the flaws in our evolution."
"The Grand Elder went to pay respects to the Ancestor of Wisdom."
"The Grand Elder is dead. He died on the return journey due to elemental overload..."
"The Ancestor Court has ruled that our evolutionary path is a failure."
