Chapter 668 - 596: World Number Eighteen Unnamed
Knowledge Tower, the spacious fifty-ninth layer.
Rows of bookshelves, each several meters tall, stood neatly arranged, filled to the brim with books.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Tang Yu meandered between the shelves, his gaze sweeping over them.
The Knowledge Tower housed the majority of books gathered from the Holy City, accumulations from countless years of the glorious epoch of Origin Star. The sheer number of paper-based books alone was countless, and even a fraction of them constructed this tower brimming with ’endless knowledge.’
It was a place coveted by many foreign Awakeners, major forces, and even the upper echelons of sacred lands.
Oldington, the Chief Elder of the Mage Alliance, had forsaken returning to the small town of the Mage Alliance, immersing himself instead into this tower of knowledge.

At that moment, he was in the area storing books about the ’soul.’
The ’soul’ was not mysterious in the eyes of scholars from the Second Epoch of Origin Star. For instance, Transcendent individuals who had broken through to the Second Tier using the spiritual path could achieve ’Soul Out-of-body.’ Besides having a backup or an avatar, even if one’s head was severed or heart pierced, continuation of existence was possible through the Spiritual Body—provided it could escape.
After Tang Yu had broken through to the Second Tier, he could easily achieve Soul Out-of-body—it was almost an instinct, yet he rarely did so—the unprotected soul was too fragile.
But the extensive research on the soul from the Second Epoch frustrated him.
