The library was quiet, which made Feng Xi’s voice sound a few times louder than before.

Why had he trodden the small person underfoot? Well, his leader was the only one in this world he would curry favor with. As for the others, he didn’t give a damn about them!

When Feng Xi saw the small person’s complacent and arrogant look, he regarded the small person as a very cocky person. In Feng Xi’s previous life, he had hated most the ones that liked to swagger before others. He had met so many people like this. As a result, he stepped on the small person reflexively.

Unluckily, the golden and proud small person had touched the sore spot of Feng Xi. That was why the small person was under Feng Xi’s foot right now.

Although the small person, as God of Books, was not as powerful as the God of Warrior, he still had a strong cultivation base and was capable of dodging a human’s attack. As a matter of fact, the small person had already sensed something when Feng Xi lifted his foot. As he was about to dodge the attack, the small person suddenly felt himself frozen and couldn’t move a bit.

When he opened his eyes wide in shock, Feng Xi had already stepped on his head.

“Bam.” The small person was stepped back to the book cover again.

“Woo…” The small person started weeping because he had been trodden into a piece of thin paper.

‘How did this happen? I am God of Books. How was it so easy for a human to step on me! Not only was the boy able to touch me, he could even freeze my body with his mental power! Humans are the most inferior race. How is it possible for me to be trodden underfoot by a human! This is so embarrassing, and no one else should know about this!’

Feng Xi said smilingly, “Can you repeat your words?”

Pretending to be poor? Feng Xi had done that so many times in his previous life. So it didn’t work on him!

The small person stared at the boy while thinking of one word- Demon!

Even so, the small person didn’t dare to offend the boy anymore since the boy was favored by King of the Netherworld,. If Feng Xi complained about him in front of the King, he might not be God of Books anymore.

Thinking of that, the small person put on a smiling face right away. As he floated again, his body went back to normal. His bulging face still looked very adorable, but that arrogant look disappeared. Now the smile on his face only looked quite flattering.

“Young Master, I am God of Books who’s in charge of all the books in the Three Worlds. Please don’t look down on me. Although I’m not very powerful, I dare say that no one in the Three Worlds knows more things than I do, except for His Majesty King of the Netherworld, of course. Anyway, I can answer any of your questions. Don’t bother leafing through the books.”

“You really are that awesome?” Feng Xi only paid attention to the last words the small person said.

In fact, even five books were too many for Feng Xi to read. It would be so hard for him to remember all the things in those books. He wanted to run away, however, there was an old man with a poker face guarding the door whom Feng Xi feared a lot. Under no circumstances would Feng Xi provoke Uncle White on purpose!

Therefore, after Feng Xi heard the small person’s last sentence, his eyes nearly gave off light.

“Of course, I am God of Books who knows everything in the world!” Hearing Feng Xi’s compliment, the small person couldn’t help but get complacent again.

Luckily, Feng Xi was still chewing the small person’s last words and had not time to pay attention to him. Otherwise the small person might be trodden underfoot again.

“So, Young Master, what can I do for you?” The small person finally took back his self-contented attitude.

“Well, tell me about this world. I have been dead for lots of days, but I still don’t know what kind of place this is. Tell me about it first!” Feng Xi picked up the book on the ground. According to the small person, the book was supposed to be his real body.

The small person shouted with surprise right away, “Young Master, you are telling me that you don’t know what this place is? No one has ever told you that?”

Feng Xi felt quite puzzled, saying, “I don’t know what’s so strange about this world. The people here are strange. It’s so bored talking with them. All of them seem super reverent and don’t like to speak. Even if I want to learn more about this place, no one ever says anything to me. I only know that this place is called Heaven Peak Palace. Others call my leader ‘King of the Netherworld’. These are all the things I know.”’

The small person opened his mouth in shock. However, the thing that surprised him was not the fact that Feng Xi knew nothing about this place, but that Feng Xi called King of the Netherworld ‘leader’.

“I see, let me explain for you.” The small person hid the surprised look on his face quickly and said that.

“Hey, wait a second!” Feng Xi suddenly stopped the small person. After that, he rushed to carry the only chair on this floor of the library and sat down to listen to the small person telling the story. Seeing the small person goggling at him, he explained, “I have a feeling that you will tell a long story. I won’t feel tired if I can sit.”

The mouth of the small person twitched all of a sudden.

“Ah-hem, the place where you are staying now is the Heaven Peak Palace. This is the most sacred place in the Netherworld. The ones that aren’t summoned are never able to break into this Palace through the barrier outside, because King of the Netherworld is the one that created that barrier. Only the one that has stronger spiritual power than King of the Netherworld can break in.”

“There are three worlds, which are the Human World, the Demon World and the Heaven World. Human World is the most inferior world among the three of them. The ordinary humans have no outstanding abilities, nor do they know what cultivation is. Their lives are ordinary. After they die, they will transmigrate. The Demon World and the Heaven World are the places where the true demons and gods live. Unlike the humans, every demon and god can cultivate themselves. As long as they can cultivate in a right way, they can become a True Immortal. However, it doesn’t mean that they can really become immortal. Once they fight the ones that are more powerful than them, they will be crushed right away. If their souls are destroyed, they can never relive again, which means vanishing in the Three Worlds!”

“Wait, wait, wait, why are there only three worlds? Isn’t there a Netherworld?” Although Feng Xi was stunned to hear the story about the Three Worlds, he still hadn’t heard the things he really wanted to know.

“Ha ha, Young Master, the Netherworld is different from the other three worlds. This world was created on the day when King of the Netherworld was born. That is to say, the Netherworld is actually the King’s world. He could control everything in the Netherworld. He could make a powerful demon or god vanish with a snap of a finger. In a word, he can make everything in this world change in one moment. But the Three Worlds came into being naturally. Those three worlds don’t have owners and are way larger than the Netherworld. If the people there want to gain a piece of land or a position, they have to gain those things by themselves. The winner takes all, and the strongest becomes the ruler!”

“So, the thing about transmigrating. What is that supposed to mean?” Feng Xi asked.
