Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 692

Chapter 692: Heavenly Library

"I’ll give you complete access to the [Heavenly Library]. You can choose any skill from there, or ask for a suggestion directly from the [Heavenly Records]."

"Heavenly Library...?"

Obitus tilted her head, not following what he meant at all.

Realizing she had no idea about the system he was talking about, Neo leaned forward and started explaining.

"Each Heavenly Record is in charge of a single planet or sometimes a group of planets across the Nine Heavens.

"The Nine Heavens themselves are nine pseudo-universes I created.

"Every Heavenly Record takes all my knowledge and skills, distributes them to the planets it governs, and then simulates the potential of the inhabitants there.

"That way they can grow stronger."

As he spoke, nine luminous orbs appeared, circling slowly behind him.

Each one shimmered faintly, like a self-contained universe floating in the air.

Neo lifted a palm, and a tiny cube no larger than an atom appeared above it.

In an instant, the cube expanded until it was big enough to balance on his hand, humming softly with energy.

"This is a Heavenly Record. The Heavenly Library is the network formed by all of them.

"Every Heavenly Record inside the Library shares knowledge and information with the others. They support their inhabitants and constantly push them to evolve," he said.

"Huh?" Obitus stared at him, her expression completely blank.

He sighed and tried again.

"Think of the Heavenly Records as books filled with skills, classes, traits, and every kind of knowledge.

"The Heavenly Library is just the network that connects the books."

Her face didn’t change.

If anything, she looked even more lost.

Neo rubbed his temple, realizing just how little of it she actually understood.

He quickly decided against telling her the task he had in mind for her.

"Task?" Obitus asked, catching the hesitation in his thoughts.

"I was thinking about finding someone who could act as the Librarian. I need someone to maintain the Heavenly Library and keep an eye on the Heavenly Records."

Her brows knitted together.

"...A Librarian? For books that can think?"

"Yes. The Heavenly Records are sentient. They can think on their own and even develop personalities.

"Even the first one I created was.... weird."

"There’s no guarantee they won’t act out in the future.

"One of them might decide to push their planet forward in a reckless way, like forcing the inhabitants into deadly trials just for the sake of progress," he said.

"That sounds... bad."

"It is," Neo said firmly. "I can’t keep monitoring every single Record to check when one of them starts doing something dangerous.

"Sure, I could ignore it until one of them becomes a problem for me, but by then the damage would already be done. Entire worlds could suffer.

"That’s why I wanted a Librarian. They would step in before it gets out of control."

"Ohhhh," Obitus said with a long nod, though her face made it clear she had only grasped the surface of what he said.

"Forget it," Neo muttered, waving it off. "I’ve already given you the highest authority inside the Heavenly Library. You can now use any skill, any trait, even bloodlines if you want."

Her eyes widened slightly.

"I can choose traits? What about the ones that need physical body modifications? Some abilities can only be used by specific species. Can I take those too?"

"You can," Neo replied. "But you’ll need to undergo body modification or body evolution. The Heavenly Records will provide you with the methods for those transformations."

Obitus frowned.

"But I’m a Soul Weapon. Can they really make a technique for my evolution too?"

"Yes," Neo answered without hesitation. "When you connected to the Heavenly Record, all of your data was absorbed.

"Some of the Records are already running simulations to create techniques for your species. If one hasn’t been completed yet, it will be soon."

Her question reminded Neo of something else.

There were countless races in the wider Cosmos.

’I should connect the Primogenitor to the Heavenly Library,’ he thought, his gaze lowering slightly.

’But with Resonance, maybe I could pull it off,’ Neo considered. It was an idea worth testing, but it would take time.
