Start By Parsing The Sun

In the reception room.

Yu Xianglong and Liu Yidao listened attentively for quite a while before finally understanding the true purpose of Vice Palace Master's visit to Lin Xuebin.

In simple terms.

Vice Palace Master Cheng entrusted Mr. Lin to gather a group of relevant individuals and establish a society dedicated to the study of ancient history.

"...Regarding the structure of the 'Taian Historical Society,' I have a preliminary idea, which is to divide it according to different historical periods."

Cheng Han's voice echoed in the reception room.

Regardless of whether they understood history or not, everyone listened intently.

"The period of the rise of the Divine Banyan will be designated as the 'Divine Banyan History Division,' and the approximately forty thousand years of the three major gods' rule will have a 'Medieval History Division.'"

Lin Xuebin suddenly pushed his glasses and asked with a subtle tone, "Vice Palace Master, do you want to study the real history?"

Upon hearing words like "the rise of the Divine Banyan," this gentleman immediately had a guess in his mind.

The history textbooks clearly stated that "the Divine Banyan has always existed," but the implicit meaning behind this statement clearly contradicted the official narrative.

For historians, it was common knowledge that "official history undergoes extensive modifications," but everyone saw through it and kept silent, let alone openly discussing these matters.

Cheng Han did not conceal it, "That's right!"

He then provided a grand explanation, "I believe that the more we understand the three major gods, the more helpful it will be in combating the organization of the gods. That is the original intention behind establishing the Historical Society."

Everyone else nodded.

"That makes sense!"

"I agree!"

Anyway, you are the Vice Palace Master, so whatever you say is right!

Lin Xuebin still had some concerns, "But the Cultural Inspection Bureau doesn't really like this kind of research..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

Liu Yidao laughed, "Mr. Lin, the Vice Palace Master of the Xuan Palace is right in front of you. Just go ahead and do it boldly. No one dares to cause trouble."

Lin Xuebin realized that he had been foolish and smiled apologetically, "You're right!"

Cheng Han had no intention of going against the authorities, "The content released by the Historical Society will be reviewed by dedicated personnel to avoid any negative impact.

"As for the academic research within the society, there will be no restrictions. All members of the society can freely pursue their research."

Lin Xuebin's expression suddenly became excited, "I believe everyone will be very willing to join the Taian Historical Society!"

After all, as scholars, who would want to do research while wearing heavy "shackles"? Who wouldn't want to have a relaxed environment?

Cheng Han returned to the original topic and said, "In the ancient era before the three major gods, there seems to have been a powerful main god whose name was intentionally concealed. I hope scholars who focus on this period can join the 'Ancient History Division' and uncover more about Him."

The "powerful main god" mentioned in this statement naturally refers to the unfortunate soul, the Lord of Wanyou, who was killed by the three major gods.

He gained great benefits from this main god, such as the Divine Darkening Spear and the Tenfold Flame God Prison, which are directly related to him.

If more clues about the Lord of Wanyou can be found and combined with the deduction of the All-Knowing Eye, his own strength can be improved even faster.

Lin Xuebin was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "Your viewpoint seems to be... different from the mainstream view in the field of history..."

This gentleman originally wanted to say "different from the mainstream view in the field of history."

But he immediately thought of the young man in front of him, who was no longer the patrol leader who came to seek advice, but the deputy palace lord with terrifying power.

Lin Xuebin changed his words immediately, "Your viewpoint is very innovative!"

Liu Yidao shook his head secretly.

Compared to Lao Yu, I am far inferior, but Lao Lin is also far inferior to me. Scholars are indeed scholars, they can't even give compliments smoothly.

Cheng Han didn't care about this at all and directly presented evidence, "I have read a little-known document called 'The Hymn of Tede Court' before, and there is a passage in it..."

He paused for a moment and recited, "The great ruler who rules over endless darkness unfortunately fell victim to a terrifying conspiracy and was killed by three betrayers."

In the eyes of others, this statement seemed obscure.

But Cheng Han understood as soon as he heard it. Isn't the "great ruler" referring to the Lord of Wanyou? Isn't the "terrifying conspiracy" referring to the Lord of Dark Schemes? Aren't the "three betrayers" referring to the three major gods?

And with evidence like this, he could easily find a dozen or so.

Shoot the arrow first, then draw the target. What's the difficulty in that?

Lin Xuebin pondered, "I have a slight impression of 'The Hymn of Tede Court'. It seems to be an ancient book from the early medieval period.

"Among all the ancient books of the medieval period, any existence crowned as the 'great ruler' has reached the level of a main god in terms of strength.

"In the descriptions of the three major gods, there has never been a mention of 'ruling over endless darkness', so it seems that there might really be another main god."

Cheng Han continued, "The history of this world is so long, and the succession of the Sartu tribe's gods is quite frequent.

"I believe that there were even older gods before the ancient era, so I also hope to establish an 'Ancient History Division'."

Lin Xuebin naturally wouldn't go against the will of the deputy palace lord, "This is a great suggestion!"

In fact.

The so-called "Ancient History Division" is the research institution that Cheng Han values the most and the true purpose of his trip.

Last time, he snatched an evil artifact called the "Skull of Prayer" from the Prayer Society, and deduction showed that this thing was actually made from a severed finger.

And this severed finger is precisely from an unknown ancient deity.

What's most important is that this ancient deity, buried in distant time, seems to have a very close connection with the True Flame Seal.

In that case, we must find relevant clues.

This is a long-term task, so Cheng Han decided to establish a dedicated research institution and gather a group of professionals to study together.

Qian Qingqing timely interjected, "The Green Orange Chamber of Commerce is willing to fully sponsor the Tai'an Historical Society."

Providing financial support in the name of a young girl is more convenient for controlling the Historical Society and will not be subject to excessive interference from the authorities.

Yu Xianglong cleverly took over the conversation, "The significance of studying ancient history is very important. Qinglin City is willing to provide a research site free of charge."

Cheng Han thought for a moment and nodded, "That's good!"

He values the Tai'an Historical Society very much, and with such a little brother taking care of a group of historians, it can also avoid some accidents.

Liu Yidao secretly sneered, "What's the point of studying ancient history? This guy knows nothing, he only knows the meaning of flattery!"

Lin Xuebin smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey! I will quickly contact a group of professionals and strive to complete the preliminary establishment of the Historical Society within half a month."

Cheng Han was very satisfied.

The reason why he entrusted Lin Xuebin was precisely because he valued the latter's social circle in the field of history, and it would be more efficient for him to establish the society.

Seeing that this matter has come to an end, Yu Xianglong immediately seized the opportunity to report, "Vice Palace Master, the City Council has formulated a new urban development plan.

"We will complete the renovation of 'Beian Street' within the next half month, expand the core city roads within half a year, and completely renovate the entire city roads within two years."

The "Beian Street" mentioned by this guy was the street Cheng Han had passed by earlier.

Cheng Han nodded approvingly, "Not bad!"

Yu Xianglong was praised and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, "The City Council will definitely spare no effort to complete this task!"

Liu Yidao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a sense of "things have changed" in his heart.

The former young patrol leader is indeed different now.

Just by casually displaying his power, the city's chief councilor urged his subordinates to formulate a plan and hurriedly came to report.

Next.

Under Cheng Han's subtle guidance, the topic returned to the field of ancient history.

When it came to ancient history.

Lin Xuebin casually mentioned a person, "By the way, I have a friend named 'Wu Yun' who excavated a very ancient stone coffin more than ten years ago.

"The surface of the stone coffin is carved with some 'Gao'er characters', which is one of the many variations of ancient Sartan language, dating back earlier than the ancient era.

"Gao'er language is very different from other variations, and combined with the fact that it has been too long, there are not many ancient artifacts that have been passed down, so there are not many deciphered characters."

"Wu Yun dedicated several years of hard work to study, and only managed to decipher a small portion of the text. I heard him talk about this matter during a gathering once.

Wu Yun mentioned a few words he had deciphered, such as 'the ruler of the dark place' and 'the absolute darkness that conceals everything.'

Cheng Han remained calm on the surface, but excitement surged within him.

Could the 'absolute darkness' be the 'dark light' of the true flame power?

The 'ruler' is likely a certain main god, and this object is from the time before ancient times. It could be related to that unknown main god.

This trip is truly fortuitous!

Lin Xuebin sought the opinion of the deputy palace lord: 'Personally, I think Wu Yun might be suitable for the Ancient History Division.'

Cheng Han decisively nodded: 'He is a suitable candidate!'

It's as if I've fallen asleep and the pillow has been delivered to my door.

Ancient history has always been rarely studied, and even less so for prehistoric history. Wu Yun's ability to decipher ancient texts definitely makes him a heavyweight in this field.

Not to mention the ancient objects he has excavated, which are actually related to clues for enhancing the true flame power.

*

Thousands of kilometers away.

Zhuo'an Small Spirit Realm.

Arthur, the former speaker of the Destruction Mission, changed his appearance using secret magic and disguised himself as an ordinary middle-aged man.

"Creak!"

Accompanied by the sound of a door being pushed open.

Arthur pretended to be a customer and stepped into the Peace Grocery Store, a shop that was suspected to have a connection with the Prayer Society in secret.

The shop was not very large, estimated to be no more than twenty square meters.

The shopkeeper's greeting immediately sounded: 'Sir, what would you like?'

Arthur wiped the sweat from his forehead and deliberately muttered, 'It's almost autumn, why is it still so hot?'

The shopkeeper said attentively, 'Sir, our shop provides free herbal tea. Would you like a cup?'

Taking the opportunity to wipe his sweat, his gaze quickly scanned every corner and briefly paused at the dirty bottom of a counter.

Within the black stains, there were faint and inconspicuous scratches, forming a strange symbol.

With his extensive experience, Arthur instantly judged that there was a 95% chance that this thing was a secret mark.

I've found the right place!
