After discussing the matter of source gold, Augustus and the others left.
In the room, only Xu Mo and Zero remained.
"How's the Book of Enlightenment?" Xu Mo asked Zero.
Zero had a peculiar expression as she looked at Xu Mo. "I can't take it out."
The Book of Enlightenment had merged into her mind. She wanted to take it out and cultivate with Xu Mo, but she couldn't; it was stuck.
Xu Mo showed a thoughtful expression, considering that Zero was likely a descendant of the Old Imperial Lin family, hence the Book of Enlightenment perfectly matched her, merging into her mind as if it had found an heir.
This might have been a contingency set up by the Old Imperial family during the collapse of the Silver Star Empire.
"Xu Mo..." Zero looked up, her eyes gazing at Xu Mo.
"Hmm?" Xu Mo also looked at Zero.
"Why did the Book of Enlightenment choose me?" Zero asked softly, feeling puzzled about her lineage after the series of events at the Empire Trial Field.
