“Oh! Has someone finally been recognized and become the master of the Celestial Tome?”

A hoarse, desolate voice echoed within the dim misty light.

“Who’s there!”

Ryan Lawson tensed, his face wary.

“I am the ‘The Book God’!”

The voice carried an unparalleled majesty, as if brooking no offense.

The Book God?

A strange look flashed across Ryan Lawson’s face, yet he felt that the black mist didn’t match the style of the Celestial Tome.

“I’ve already become the master of the Celestial Tome?”

Ryan Lawson probed.

“Indeed!”

A cold, commanding voice replied.

“So what exactly is this Celestial Tome?” Ryan Lawson was very curious.

“The Tome of Creation is a supreme treasure, forged over countless eons by the power of the Heavenly Dao and the fate of heaven and earth. Only those with powerful divine bloodlines can activate it.”

“The Tome’s ability is boundless deduction, able to answer all the world’s mysteries.”

Said The Book God.

Ryan Lawson was shaken. This “Tome of Creation” was terrifying—able to deduce the outcome of any problem.

“Then how do I awaken my divine bloodline?”

Ryan Lawson looked hopeful—this was the question he most wanted answered.

The Book God did not reply.

Instead, the Celestial Tome responded.

Buzz!

On the first page of the Tome, several lines of text appeared.

“To awaken a broken divine bloodline, the following method applies: use the ‘Destiny Creation Art’ and spiritual sense as a guide, stimulate the body’s essence, energy, and spirit, first cleansing impurities from the wheel meridian, then nourishing…”

The next moment.

A simple method for opening the meridians appeared on the Tome and flooded into Ryan Lawson’s mind.

This method was tailored specifically for Ryan Lawson; he needed to practice the introductory chapter of the “Destiny Creation Art” and develop spiritual sense to achieve it.

“Well? You’ve got your answer, haven’t you? This is the supreme power of the Celestial Tome!”

The Book God said proudly.

Ryan Lawson was speechless inside. That was the Tome’s answer, but you’re acting like it was your own doing.

At this moment—

The light on the Tome’s pages dimmed to the extreme and then closed shut.

“What’s this?”

Ryan Lawson looked at The Book God. Why did the Tome close?

“……”

The Book God was silent, not answering, then suddenly said, “I am the core hub of the Tome, holding many authorities. But you can let me leave the Tome—then, all its powers will be yours!”

To possess all the Tome’s powers!

Ryan Lawson’s heart surged with excitement. Who wouldn’t want such a treasure?

But he vaguely felt that this The Book God seemed a bit off.

“Let me think about it.”

Ryan Lawson began to ponder.

“Young man, what’s there to think about? Opportunity knocks but once!”

The Book God urged, his tone a bit anxious.

Hearing this, Ryan Lawson felt even more that something was wrong with The Book God!

“Young man, this is a one-of-a-kind treasure in all the world. Have you heard the saying, ‘He who holds the Tome, holds the world’…”

“I’ll give you my answer once I’ve decided.”

Ryan Lawson’s consciousness withdrew.

“Young man, don’t go! Come back, we can sit down and talk this over…”

The Book God called out urgently, and at the end, a boundless fury erupted in his words: “You… come back to me!”

The dim mist suddenly swelled, and within it loomed a vast, boundless figure—like a divine beast from ancient myth, part peacock, part phoenix, proud, majestic, domineering, sacred, intimidating all beings.

But the instant Ryan Lawson’s consciousness left—

Poof!

The phantom collapsed and vanished, everything returning to darkness.

……

“That was terrifying. What exactly is this The Book God?”

Though Ryan Lawson was unharmed, he could still feel that boundless, terrifying aura.

After a moment’s thought,

Ryan Lawson was basically certain that the black mist was definitely not The Book God.

The black mist must have wanted to escape from the Tome, but as the Tome’s master, he held the dominant power and didn’t need to fear it.

He stopped thinking about it.

Ryan Lawson sat cross-legged, using the meridian-opening method given by the Tome, circulating the Creation Art, activating his spiritual sense, and stirring the essence, energy, and spirit throughout his body.

Whoosh!

A vast surge of heat gathered within Ryan Lawson, rushing toward his spine—the location of the martial meridians.

Swish! Swish!

The massive current of essence, energy, and spirit repeatedly washed and nourished the depths of his spine.

Two hours later—

Boom!

A strange rumble and vibration came from deep within Ryan Lawson’s spine.

A wave of heat and mist rose from the youth’s body.

“This… my martial meridians are vibrating—there are signs of awakening!”

Ryan Lawson exclaimed in delight.

Within his spine, a wheel meridian like a primordial dark dragon stirred faintly in the darkness, emitting a faint blue glow.

Is this the divine bloodline?

Zzt!

A mysterious current, like electricity, flowed from the divine bloodline, flooding into every part of his body.

Ryan Lawson felt a mysterious power slowly sprouting and growing within him, becoming stronger and stronger.

As time passed—

When the sky outside the house began to brighten—

Mmm!

A dragon’s roar, as if from the abyss of eternity, echoed from deep within Ryan Lawson’s divine bloodline.

“Boom!”
