Chapter 365 - 307: The Third Realm Divine Power Deduced by a Good Brother!

"And what about the Golden Dawn’s situation?" Chu Bamboo’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, but in the next instant, the internal information became a jumble of garbled text.

"???" Chu Bamboo was stunned for a moment. Ever since he’d obtained permissions second only to the highest level, it had been a while since he’d run into this... ’Oh, wait. Usually, the information is just retracted, but this time it’s garbled!’

"So, what happened this time?" Chu Bamboo felt a slight headache. He thought it over and over, a vague realization dawning on him. ’The situation is blurry... but I can probably deduce a few things!’

’Since the information that followed is garbled, it must mean that the destruction of the Golden Holy Order was far from the end of the problem...’

’What kind of insane stunt did the Golden Dawn pull this time? Did they start spreading the contamination even more wantonly... planning to enact a scorched-earth strategy? Or maybe...’

Chu Bamboo crossed his arms, his fingers tapping lightly on his shoulder. In both the diary and the history recorded by Nuwa, information from a key time period had been sealed off!

Chu Bamboo refused to believe it was a coincidence...

"Whatever!" Chu Bamboo rubbed his brow and finally pulled up the messages left by Lin Xin Bamboo. Then, his expression turned utterly bizarre.

"Key: xcbhddk12359. File: Information regarding your unique Third Realm Divine Technique!"

"Key: ... File: Genetic Map Information."

"Key: ... File: Base File Information for Aerospace Fighter versions 1.0 through 9.0."

"Key: ... File: Deployment Manual for the Moon’s War-Fortress Final Weapon."

"Key: ... File: Partial Speculations Regarding Mars."

"..."

Chu Bamboo: "..."

That’s right, there weren’t any actual messages this time! Instead, there was just a huge pile of passwords... and...

"Seriously, you could at least tell me... where am I supposed to use these to find this information?" The corner of Chu Bamboo’s eye twitched uncontrollably. ’What good are the passwords on their own?!’

"Key information detected... Commencing response." Nuwa No. 17 paused for a moment before stating, "The information regarding the Third Realm can be obtained from this unit, Nuwa No. 17. The remaining information can be obtained from the Nuwa Mainframe or the ●● Base."

Chu Bamboo’s expression froze for an instant as his mind raced. He muttered, "This redacted part is... the Hive? So that’s what it was!"

Chu Bamboo took a long look at the list of files. ’The Genetic Map... That must be what my good brother and Guan Qianyu created together, right?’

’Don’t tell me those two actually created some kind of super-soldiers...’ Chu Bamboo mused doubtfully. Then his gaze fell upon the "Deployment Manual for the Moon’s War-Fortress Final Weapon." ’Just the name of this thing sounds completely insane...’

Had human civilization back then really turned the Moon into a Death Star?

Chu Bamboo thought about it. ’Probably not,’ he decided, ’but placing some ultimate weapons on the Moon... that would be perfectly reasonable!’

Forget the past; even in the Real World of his own era, there were rumors of installing missile bases on the Moon, capable of striking anywhere on the globe within an hour!

Still... ’I should just focus on getting the info I can,’ Chu Bamboo grumbled to himself. The key was right here, after all, and it was even specially noted that the file was on Nuwa’s local unit...

It felt less like this was prepared for Chu Bamboo...

...and more like it was prepared for the ’Celestial Court God’. ’Of course,’ Chu Bamboo figured, ’if the Celestial Court God didn’t use it all up, I can probably use the leftovers...’

Chu Bamboo expertly entered the password, then stared with some apprehension, awaiting the revelation about his own Third Realm...

"...Wait, it’s a diary entry?" Chu Bamboo was startled, the realization dawning on him a moment later. ’Of course! If it was recorded in Chinese, then God must also know the details of my Third Realm... I see!’

Chu Bamboo realized something. It was very likely that some of the diaries weren’t actually destroyed by Lin Xin Bamboo, but were hidden in other places.

Shaking his head, Chu Bamboo pushed aside his distracting thoughts and focused on the screen.

"...I’ve successfully broken through to the Third Realm! My Divine Power of the Third Realm is named ’Storage’."

"To my future self: we don’t actually lack any means of attack or defense! For those of us who can use Engraving... as long as a friend possesses a particular attack, or any other Divine Technique, it’s enough!

What is our biggest problem? It’s that we can only store two Divine Techniques! And each one can only be used for ten minutes.

So, I constantly conducted deep research into this... and realized the potential of Storage!

Yes, it’s just as you’ve guessed..."

Chu Bamboo’s breath caught in his throat as he continued reading—his good brother’s "Storage" referred to using ’Artifacts’ as storage chips!

For example, if Chu Bamboo were to break through to the Third Realm and follow his good brother’s method, he could make the Chixiao Sword complete the "storage" of the Crimson Sky Fire Divine Technique—

Even if he, the user, had depleted his own Crimson Sky Fire, he could directly "download" the Divine Technique from the storage chip...

In other words...

As long as Chu Bamboo held the Chixiao Sword, it would be equivalent to being able to use the Crimson Sky Fire Divine Technique permanently! He wouldn’t need to perform another Reproduction... and the same would apply to the Shadow Windbreaker...

As long as he had the Artifact, he could use the Divine Technique housed within it at will!

"...And here I was thinking!" Chu Bamboo let out a long sigh, but then he had a realization. ’Right. My good brother... there were no Cultivators back then! He only had Artifacts to work with, so he could only design a system around them.’

’Still, this isn’t bad...’

Holding an Artifact seemed to grant use of its inherent Divine Technique, but the application of such an Artifact-bound technique was extremely rigid. When Chu Bamboo held the Chixiao Sword, he could only create and control flames...

However, if Chu Bamboo Engraved the Crimson Sky Fire Divine Technique himself, it would be a qualitative leap compared to simply swinging the sword. The Shadow Windbreaker was the same... their built-in uses were extremely rigid. Using them as one’s own Divine Technique was another matter entirely...

"In that case, a living person’s Divine Technique... maybe it’s not impossible to store one of those, either?" Chu Bamboo’s expression turned strange. ’But would I have to test it? Just like when I tried to use Reproduction on a living person’s Divine Technique?’

"But based on what my good brother has demonstrated here!" Chu Bamboo fell into deep thought. ’Doesn’t that mean, if I could turn another person into a storage card... say, if I turned Ning Linglong into a storage card, then after my ten minutes of Divine Technique use runs out, I could just touch Ning Linglong to use it again...’

’It would be a lot more convenient, and it doesn’t look like it would cost any Blessing Power, but...’

The corner of Chu Bamboo’s eye twitched. The thought of having to go and touch someone during a critical moment in a battle... just seemed incredibly awkward.
