Chapter 4121: Innate Wisdom
The system obviously recognized Soltrex and the fact that he was now free. So, it began to distribute its reward.
[Congratulations, hosts! Soltrex has been freed from his imprisonment.]
[Reward: 15000 Celestial Points.]
Rean and Roan heard that, nodding in satisfaction. "That's more like it."
Kentucky heard it from them right after. "15000, uh? It is a lot less than what we got from freeing Hick's body."
"Because it was also a lot easier," Roan commented. "Still, the value of the rewards is escalating, so even easier Primordial Beast releases should give the same or more points as it goes on."
Herbert, not understanding anything, spoke. "So... what are you guys planning to do? If you want to stay here, I can arrange for an estate to be built for you guys."
Rean smiled, patting his shoulder. "Thank you for the offer, but we have some other things to do, like destroying the Werdlem Empire's Bubble, dealing with the Werdlem Emperor, and such. So, we will have to leave."
Herbert felt a chill on his back. It totally didn't sound like a joke at all. "Hehe... Su-Sure, that seems... important..." He reinforced his resolve to never talk about this day to anyone ever again.
*Zush, zush!*
Roan and Celis disappeared in the next instant, returning to the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. A few hours later, Rean and Kentucky decided to leave as well. They came out of the clan's building, and Kentucky opened a Spatial Gate.
However, before Rean entered Kentucky's Spatial Gate, he threw a Jade Slip to Herbert. He could have used his communication device, but he thought it was better to be something more 'analog.' Only then did Rean and Kentucky disappear.
Herbert was taken by surprise, holding that Jade Slip in his hand. He didn't read the contents inside straight away, though. There were plenty of his clan members around, looking at him. After all, he was visited by a group of Peak Stage Divinities, so you could understand everyone's concerns. "All of you, just go back to do whatever you were doing. Those were just some seniors who came to strike a deal with me, nothing else. They got what they wanted, so we probably won't see them anymore anyway."
His elders sighed in relief. "Herbert, was it something related to the Mist Library?"
Other than Herbert, no one knew what happened. "Ha! I wish! Keep the work. I won't give up until we find the entrance to the Mist Library again. Understood?"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone nodded, finally taking their leave.
Herbert smiled in satisfaction and then returned to his room. There, he sighed a little. "What Mist Library? That thing is gone for good. I just can't let anyone know about it," he murmured to himself. Then, he looked at the Jade Slip he got from Rean, and finally took the chance to read its contents.
"This..." His eyes shone like stars, his entire body feeling the excitement.
It wasn't anything for Rean, but for Herbert, it was everything. Inside, there was a full explanation about how to reach the Celestial Realm, something you wouldn't find in a Universe like F956. Not only that. It also had Rifindio's contact number, where Rean said that if something went wrong in the future, he could ask Rifindio for help once, only once.
The help of his own Universe Owner, the only Celestial of the Universe. Just how much was it worth?
*Puff!*
Herbert immediately crashed the Jade Slip, having drilled its entire content into his mind. "To think such a casual encounter in the past could have brought me such fortune..."

Rean and Kentucky left the Spatial Gate several continents of distance, entering the Dimensional Realm. There, they found the Mist Manta Ray, this time just two meters or so in size. That was obviously Soltrex, and he seemed to be in a great mood. "Hey, free guy, how do you feel?" Kentucky asked.
Soltrex noticed them. "Me? I feel great! Not only am I free, but I had the chance to trash Hick for the previous hours, and he couldn't avoid me at all. Even his boundary skills won't work in someone else's Dimensional Realm. I almost felt like I was born just for this day. Such refreshment. For all of that, you have my thanks."
Rean looked around, seeing Hick in the distance. His Ring body was half broken, and the Black Core seemed somewhat pale instead. "Wow... you did even worse to him than we did recently."
Soltrex was surprised. "Did you also beat him?"
"Yep," Rean nodded.
"Relatable," Soltrex concluded.
Hick, who was half dead but couldn't really die, wanted to cry. "Yo-You guys will see! There will be p-payback!"
They ignored Hick, who would take some time to recover, and focused on Soltrex. Roan also joined to talk to the Archive Devourer. "Soltrex, Hick said that if we wanted to find more Primordial Demon Beasts, we would need to free you first. Could it be you know where all the others are?"
Soltrex shook his head. "It is not that I know where they are, but that I can analyze information and find their probable locations."
[Hum?] Sister Orb was curious. [If analyzing information is enough, I can do that as well.]
"Hahaha!" Soltrex laughed in response. "I'm sorry, but even if there were another million Celestial Soul Systems, you would still not be able to analyze information as fast and as precisely as I can, especially when it comes to finding clues and probabilities. It has nothing to do with processing power, thinking capability, or any of that."
"It is simply my innate ability. I'm the Pillar of Wisdom. It was because of me that intelligence could appear in this world at the start of everything. Too bad I can't influence the Wisdom of the Great Void anymore. It is too big now. Well, it has no need for me either, so that's fine."
Hick struggled to get close to talk. "H-He is not lying. With him, even if we don't find the location of the rest of t-the Primordial Beasts, we definitely will find most of them."
Roan nodded, curious to see Soltrex at work. "Alright. So, what do you need?"
Soltrex smiled. "The Werdlem Empire is pretty good for someone like me. Just give me access to the Werdlem Network. I can do the rest."
"That reminds me," Celis spoke. "Nyanta said that there is probably a third Primordial Demon Beast in F956. Could you check this one first, Soltrex?"
Soltrex didn't mind. "Very well. Let's start with that one then."
