Edward soon arrived at his destination. He looked into the screen before him, which showed him what the outside of this ne looked like. There were countless ships of different sizes and shapes parking outside. A tform floated in the void served as the entrance.


    “It really is a public library,” muttered Edward. If the Abyss Realm is the ultimate ce formerce and exchange in the Astral Realm, then the Myriad Codex ne is a public library with important knowledge, but not so important that top nes would do whatever is necessary to conquer it.


    Over the years, the Myriad Codex ne had be a neutral ground, and top nes like the Wizard or Titan nes agreed to leave it alone and ensure none of them controlled it.


    Edward’s floating city was in invisible mode, so no one noticed him. He parked the thing in a pocket dimension before taking out a ship and flying to the entrance. Before stepping out, Edward changed his clothes and modified his aura to resemble more of a wizard from the Wizard ne.


    From the information Hermione provided, the power system in the Wizard ne made all wizards contain a powerful Life Force Field that radiated intense radiation. As such, as long as a wizard stays too long in an area, the creatures around them will mutate one way or the other.


    Edward headed to the tform, where many people wereing and going. He followed the property procedure, including registering his name, identity as a Wizard, and Tier. Finally, he met with a Lizardman.


    “Token,” asked the lizardman directly, and Edward handed him the token he had received from his variant. The creature scanned the token and said: “Ordinary visitor, viable for only three months.”


    “What are the higher levels, and how do you get them?” asked Edward. The lizardman looked at him. Normally, he would not have answered, but since this person was Tier 8 and from the Wizard ne, he gave some more information.


    “Ordinary, elite, professional, and VIP, each with a longer visitation time and ess to higher tier knowledge. If you want to increase your level, you must buy soul stones or exchange knowledge; however, soul stones can only acquire a pass to the professional level. If you want VIP ess, you have to exchange knowledge.”


    “Thank you for the news,” said Edward as he handed the lizardman a bag with countless soul stones. There are different types of energy in the Astral Realm, and different Power Systems use different energy. However, soul energy is one of the mostmon powers used by 99% of life forms in the Astral Realm. As such, soul stones, which are condensed and purified soul energy, are mainly used for mary exchanges.


    Edward can manufacture clones like candy, and with the recent ability to convert mana into Soul Energy, he did notck soul stones. The lizardman’s eyes shone brilliantly after seeing what was inside the interdimensional bag, so he swiftly put it away.


    Edward proceeded to a teleportation enchantment. A bright light enveloped him, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in another room with people around. He immediately looked around and analyzed the situation.


    ‘I don’t feel stuffy or restricted, so the level of this ne should be Tier 9. There seems to be no energy in the environment, which is odd.’


    However, after thinking about it momentarily, Edward realized it was probably done on purpose. Without energy in the environment, the destructive ability of most spells or attacks is drastically reduced. Furthermore, people will have a slow recovery in such an environment.


    ‘Someone manufactured such an environment to minimize fighting and conflict.’


    Edward followed the attendant out of the teleportation area. As soon as he exited, he saw a magnificent tower that rose from the ground all the way to the clouds. At the center of this tower were the words [Astral Library] written in the universalnguage of the Astral Realm.


    Edward did not observe long before he headed to the nearest library branch. Based on the information he gathered, he needed to be a VIP if he wanted to reach the central library at the center of this ne.


    As he flew to his destination, he did not stop observing around while also remaining on guard. His mind was already connected to the floating city, ready to take action at a moment’s notice.


    This world was vibrant despite theck of energy. Races from different nes, countless power systems, and knowledge–all concentrated in one area. If not for the fact he did not want any uncontroble variables, Edward would have read everyone’s mind and stole knowledge.


    After entering the library, he searched for books about the Savant Race. As expected, there were none. So, without hesitation, he talked to the main librarian about acquiring a Professional Level Token. He paid the needed Soul Stones before heading closer to the main library.


    The ce he headed to was called the Secondary Library, and Edward once again searched for news about the Savant Race. Ultimately, he had to acquire a VIP pass by exchanging knowledge. The level required for a pass should be on par with something a Tier 8 powerhouse would create or some lost secrets of the Astral Realm.


    Edward exchanged knowledge about [Aura] and used the bare minimum knowledge to get the pass. Afterward, he headed to that tower at the center. He had no problem entering with his new VIP pass.


    The inside of the tower did not look too extravagant. Instead, it looked like an ordinary library in a modern world. Edward found a seat in the sitting area, and a holographic screen appeared before him. He used it as aputer and input the information he wanted.


    Edward frowned because the information about the Savant Race was too little. It was a picture of this humanoid race that was a little over one meter tall, but they had a massive head.


    The Savant Race was one of the oldest races in the entire Astral Realm. The mission of their civilization was to gather knowledge from all nes and create the ultimate library. However, the Magus Race wanted their knowledge and attacked the race.


    Ultimately, the Savant Race survived the attack, but they disappeared from the world; it was not until a long time after the Magus Race disappeared that they resurfaced. However, their contact with the Astral Realm has been minuscule since then.


    Edward focused on a small passage on the screen: “The Savant Race continued their mission of gathering knowledge. However, they use more secretive means. There are rumors the Astral Library is one of the Savant Race’s subsidiaries.”


    Edward squinted his eyes as he understood many things. If this information is true, many things could be exined, like why the library has not been conquered. These top nes might be trying to see if they could find the Savant Race by using the Astral Library.


    Edward stood from his chair and went to see the librarian. She was a beautiful woman who resembled humans; However, Edward noticed small wings on the back of her ears.


    “Excuse me.”


    “How can I help you?” asked the librarian as she ced the book in her hand.


    “Do you have any more information on the Savant Race?” asked Edward, who was on the highest alert level; he did not know whether his question was taboo and would cause problems, so he was ready to fight or run away at any moment.


    “Oh, it’s another fool,” the librarian sighed.


    “Pardon me?”


    “Do you know what the Savant Race represents?”


    “Power,” replied Edward directly, making the librarian surprised.


    “Yes. Anyone who can gain ess to their library will gain unimaginable power. So, everyone wants to find them, but no one has seeded. At least, not publicly.”


    “I see,” replied Edward, slightly dejected. “Is there anything you can tell me?”


    “There is a prophecy on the Savant Race’s whereabouts,” continued the librarian. “The invisible world, hidden right underneath the smallest things.”


    Edward frowned after hearing this divination, “Can you tell me the originalnguage this divination originated from?”


    “Hehe, you’re quite intelligent,”mented the librarians. Trantednguages often cannot express certain meanings, so many people began to study the originalnguage of this divination to see if they could find something. Sadly, there has been no news of someone discovering the Savant Race.


    Edward got the information he wanted and returned to his reading area.
