CHAPTER 705: CHAPTER 700: THE ORIGIN OF THE SPLIT

Snap—

Her knees made a light sound as they hit the ground, seeing the girl swiftly kneel before Ronald.

Faced with Ronald showing such a posture,

This guy quickly compared the power disparity between the enemy and him, realized he was no match, and almost the next second chose to surrender.

"Human, I can comply with all your requests!"

"..."

The girl surrendered so easily and naturally that it was Ronald who was stunned instead.

In past confrontations or skirmishes with enemies, it usually ended with a fight to the death.

And today this one...

She surrendered too cleanly and thoroughly!

She not only knelt down willingly but also voluntarily placed her head at Ronald’s feet, showing absolutely no intention to resist.

Before entering this place, his prediction about the battle—seemed to have major issues?

Faced with this situation,

Ronald couldn’t help but ask,

"You... don’t plan to resist even a little?"

"I submit to you," the girl explained without even lifting her head, her forehead against the ground, "There are quite a number of humans in the forest, so I understand your thoughts—but for me, emotions like dignity are not necessary."

"Survival is the top priority."

Seeing what was happening here, Costate also came over.

The maid had a very accurate grasp of the situation, and while she came over, her body also emitted very strong Magic Fluctuations.

"..."

Sensing Costate’s power,

The kneeling girl became even more rigid.

She couldn’t understand why there were two such fierce individuals suddenly appearing in her stronghold.

But one thing was clear.

She was definitely no match for the man and woman before her.

At this moment, Costate spoke up,

"Sir, if you don’t intend to kill this powerful and unique life form, then placing her in Kurpis is a good idea. Adler has been doing this all along."

Ronald nodded slightly towards Costate.

His gaze then turned to the girl before him,

"Did you hear our plan for you? No objections, right?"

"I’ll follow your every order... sir?"

The girl first made her stance clear, then tentatively started to call Ronald "sir" as Costate did.

Ronald accepted this address,

"Stand up and speak—and how should I address you?"

The girl obeyed Ronald’s order completely.

She immediately got up from the ground, then introduced herself with a docile tone,

"Aile Rodimakso—I share the Il factor with my sister, you can just call me Il, sir."

"Il." Ronald nodded in understanding, then immediately cut to the core of the conversation, "My goal in coming here is the ’Organic Encyclopedia,’ it should be in your possession, right?"

"’Organic Encyclopedia’... You mean the Origin Power!"

Il responded quickly.

Realizing what Ronald was referring to, she plunged her hand into her chest, pulling out an object from her ribcage and presenting it before Ronald.

"..."

Looking at the object Il took out, Ronald furrowed his brows.

This was indeed the ’Organic Encyclopedia’ that Costate had observed before, but not entirely.

The ’Organic Encyclopedia’ was supposed to be a metal block.

But now—the metallic casing was cracked open, revealing three slots, out of which only one was connected to a crystal-like cube, the other two slots were empty.

Ronald’s first thought was of the ’Divine Comedy.’

Though the presentation was different, during these months of practice, the ’Organic Encyclopedia’ also underwent similar splitting in the Yizi Forest, and now Il was handing over just this third she possessed.

Il paid immediate attention to the frowning expression on Ronald.

She almost instantly started explaining,

"Sir, when my sister and I separated, we split the Origin Power... the ’Organic Encyclopedia’ into two, I took the stronger part with the casing and one crystal; my sister took just one crystal."

"..."

Ronald did not immediately respond to Il’s explanation.

Instead, he picked up the ’Organic Encyclopedia’ and carefully inspected the slots.

Though different from the SIM card slots in the information age, Shang Miao could still see clear traces of insertion.

The original state of the ’Organic Encyclopedia.’

There should originally be three crystals inserted in it.

After a slight sigh, Ronald asked while putting away the encyclopedia,

"Il, when you first got it, were there only two crystals inserted in it?"

Il nodded affirmatively,

"That’s right, sir."

"As the first batch of life forms evolved due to influence, we fought immediately after acquiring certain capabilities to determine the ownership of the ’Organic Encyclopedia,’ and eventually, my sister and I won..."

Then followed a long explanation.

In the process of becoming more skilled in conversing with Ronald, the situation in the Yizi Forest from a few months ago to now was slowly narrated by Il.

Leaving aside those strong life forms that had appeared,

The current Yizi actually had seven major forces occupying the principal positions.

Il’s side counted as one, the human Casters established three, one developed group counted as one, and the remaining two were powerful beings like Il.

These seven forces were divided territorially based on their geographical locations.

Now, they generally maintained a balanced power.

However, there was one thing that surprised Ronald.

Logically, since Il’s sister stemmed from the same source and even possessed a third of the encyclopedia, she was not among these seven major forces.

That individual had established a very hidden base, typically staying hidden and quietly developing. Only very infrequently did she attack Il, hoping to consume her while also planning to retrieve the other parts of the ’"rganic Encyclopedia.’"

Quietly listening to Il finish speaking, Ronald spoke again,

"So you’re saying there are known to be only two crystals?"

Il nodded,

"You’re absolutely right, sir."

"Unless the ’Organic Encyclopedia’ initially had a part taken away by someone, we local evolved beings, during our initial struggles, only had it like this."

Someone definitely made a move in advance.

Costate’s provided data was very clear.

Initially appearing in Yizi Forest, the ’Organic Encyclopedia’ was in a completely sealed intact state.

Then the simple result came out.

Within the gap between Costate leaving the Yizi Forest and Il’s kind not yet having grown strong,

Some existence took advantage of this to find the ’Organic Encyclopedia.’

And they even took away one third!
