Chapter 464
: Book Gu Restrictions
Hearing this, Long Xuan's eyes became more and more interested, and he couldn't wait to ask again: "What does the book Gu eat, and what does it need to complete its transformation? Does it have to keep reading different novels?"
Zhu Jiuge shook his head and patiently explained: "Book Gu feeds on spiritual food. The method of increasing its growth and transformation is extremely strange, which is that you need a lot of people to read your novels."
"For example, if you wrote a novel called "Legend of the Gu God", it is not enough to let the bookworm read it once. If you want to continue to improve the power of the book Gu, you must spread "Legend of the Gu God" and let more people read it."
"People who read this book will have a spiritual appetite, and the poisonous insects refined from this book will devour these people's spiritual appetite to complete their growth."
"The more people read the book, the stronger the Book Gu will be. When the number of people reaches a certain level, the Book Gu will complete its transformation."
"The more times the Book Gu transforms, the more book powder it will need."
"If the book is not good enough and the number of readers is limited, then this book Gu will never be able to transform again in its lifetime."
Hearing this, Long Xuan was thoughtful.
He grasped a lot of information from Zhu Jiuge's words, that is, if he wanted to refine the book Gu, he must use an original book written by himself, and must not use a book that has already appeared in this world.
The reason is very simple. The books that have already appeared have been read by a large number of people, and the spiritual food generated will be sucked away by the bookworms of the original authors. Bookworms created from pirated books can never hope to plunder a portion of the spiritual food, and will never be able to transform themselves in their lifetime.
However, although the book Gu set up in this way is interesting and its theoretical upper limit is extremely high, its strength is probably limited in reality.
Because this is a world of high-level martial arts, everyone will be busy practicing, and only a few people will indulge in pleasure and spend a lot of time reading novels.
Novels are a desert in this world. No matter how wonderful the novel you write is, it is difficult for it to be read by people all over the world, or even reach even one in ten thousand of the total audience.
Otherwise, all human beings have read your novels. Long Xuan couldn’t imagine how powerful a book Gu of this level would be.
"What about non-fiction books?" Long Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked again with interest.
He wondered what would happen if the bookworm read the physics textbook from his previous life. Would he understand the law of gravity?
What would happen if the bookworm read the Tao Te Ching from his previous life? Is it possible that he could understand something that even he could not understand?
He has too many books that are unprecedented in this world. Once they are moved to this world, he will definitely be able to create many interesting poisonous insects.
A bookworm can only become stronger by reading original books. It is difficult for people in this world to create a book by themselves, but what he lacks the most in his mind is books that have never appeared in this world.
He felt that if he didn't make good use of this bookworm, it would be a waste of the vast wealth of knowledge in his mind.
Zhu Jiuge stopped writing, turned to look at him and said, "There are many kinds of bookworms, and their hobbies are different."
"My bookworm only likes to read novels. If you have original poems or songs, you can only find a bookworm with the same hobby."
"But after countless tests, novels have the most words, and only bookworms who like to read novels are the strongest."
Hearing this, Long Xuan's eyes brightened. There were too many original poems in his mind to count, and they were all classics.
"By the way, what are you looking for me for? Are you here to take advantage of me again?"
Zhu Jiuge suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Xuan with a suspicious look.
Hearing this, Long Xuan showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said with a stiff smile: "How can that be? You are wrongly accusing me."
"I accidentally created a very interesting poisonous insect, and I want you to help me take a look. By the way, I want to open a shop with you..."
…At this time, in a hall in the center of the four major branches, a white-haired old man was walking back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.
Next to him, an old woman leaning on a cane looked worried and sighed, "Dean, as the spiritual power of heaven and earth becomes increasingly thin, the spiritual power that seals the monster is also becoming increasingly loose."
"Just now, the monster broke through nine seals in a flash. The seal of the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower is no longer strong. A disaster may occur at any time. Sigh..."
The dean's face turned pale. The dean of the Holy Gu Academy, who could make the whole Middle-earth tremble with just a stomp of his feet, had a look of deep fear in his eyes, and his fingers were shaking in fear. No one knew what terrible thing had happened to scare such a strong man into this state.
"Damn it! Damn it! What the hell is that thing! It has been sucking its spiritual energy for countless thousands of years, and so many students haven't sucked it dry yet! Are you kidding me?"
"I am really curious about how such an exaggerated thing could be sealed by a powerful human. This is outrageous!"
"Once that thing comes out, not only will the entire Holy Gu City be destroyed in an instant, it will be a catastrophe for the entire human race."
"Once that thing holds a grudge, it might even exterminate the entire human race!"
The dean roared loudly and excitedly, looking extremely out of control, completely lacking his usual calm and dignified demeanor.
“Alas!” The old woman sighed again and said solemnly: “According to the ancient books, this monster is called Yuan. At that time, the strong men of the human race sealed Yuan at a great cost and were lucky enough to seal it.”
"Even the powerful humans at that time could not kill this kind of existence. They could only seal it in one place and use a large number of people to wear away its spiritual power until one day it was completely drained."
"This is also the purpose of the establishment of the Holy Gu Academy. The meaning of the Holy Gu Academy's existence is to kill Yuan with endless years."
“But I didn’t expect that after so much time has passed, Yuan’s spiritual power is still vast and boundless. This is probably something that even the human strongmen who sealed it in the first place never expected, right?” The old woman said with a wry smile.
The dean said solemnly with a heavy heart, "We cannot contend with this kind of existence no matter what."
"If we let it escape successfully, we will be dead. There is no chance of luck. The only way to break the impasse is to prevent it from getting out. I will leave the academy tonight and try to find the world's most powerful array master to reinforce the seal."
The dean narrowed his eyes, suddenly looked at the old woman, and said in a deep voice: "During this period of time, don't let Zhu Jiuge leave the academy. With her around, Sheng Gu City will not be in danger of being destroyed easily."
"Whether the formation can be reinforced successfully this time and whether it can successfully prevent Yuan from escaping, I'm afraid it all depends on whether her Doom Gu is powerful enough."
The dean's voice was not relaxed, and it was obvious that he was not sure whether Zhu Jiuge's extraordinary luck could save Sheng Gu Academy from this crisis.
The old woman showed a trace of reluctance on her face, frowned and said: "We already knew that Zhu Jiuge had the Doom Gu in her body. The reason why we took the risk to recruit her into the Saint Gu Academy was to use the Doom Gu in her body to deal with this crisis."
"But doing so would be too cruel to Qi Luoyou. As Zhu Jiuge's master, he would most likely be killed by the backlash of the Doom Gu."
"He lived a life of misery, never expecting to end up like this. Alas, we are sorry for him."
The dean showed a look of grief on his face, and sighed, "Qi Luoyou has trained countless Gu King disciples, and his knowledge is so outstanding, how could he not see that Zhu Jiuge has the Doom Gu in his body?"
"Do you really think he is completely unaware? Don't be silly, he did it on purpose, he is acting with us."
"Although he is a coward and extremely afraid of death, he loves the Holy Gu Academy even more. He is ready to sacrifice his own life in exchange for a glimmer of hope for the Holy Gu Academy."
"In order to have a higher chance of winning, he is not the only one who will have his luck sucked away by the Misfortune Gu."
"In this incident, the one who suffered the most was not Qi Luoyou, but that child Zhu Jiuge. Sigh..."
ps: The list of leave requests is too messy, next time I will post my leave request in the comments. (End of this chapter)
