Practice begins with immortality

After awakening, supernatural beings are divided into four levels, which humans designate as lower, middle, upper, and, theoretically, god-level, considered the ultimate limit of life. Arno is one of the five god-level beings, the Time Manipulator.

"I came to Lingbi City mainly because I heard about the bloody incident that occurred here, and I came here out of curiosity. Because every day, potential possessors of supernatural powers awaken in human society, and after the staff of the Council confirm their potential and the degree of harm they can cause, they will choose to recruit or accommodate them."

Arno said with great frustration. As a god-level being, he was beaten up and interrogated like a prisoner. It was a shame.

"Then the Human Federation is a subordinate of your parliament? Are those oligarchs also your secular agents?" Lin Nuo asked with eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face.

At this moment, the state of time suspension had long been lifted, and everything around him returned to normal. After listening to Arno's detailed explanation, Lin Nuo felt that the worldview he had long constructed in his mind collapsed in an instant.

"Subordinates? Hahahahaha..." Arno laughed contemptuously, then said with disdain, "You overestimate them. They're just a bunch of mortals. Even if the so-called federal president stood in front of me, he would be nothing more than a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy."

Arno paused briefly before continuing, "In reality, this so-called Human Federation is nothing more than a contraption created by certain individuals within our parliament to benefit their descendants. Furthermore, even those once-glorious dynasties you've heard of in history books were secretly established by those incredibly powerful supernatural beings."

"As for the reasons these supernatural beings follow, there are two possible scenarios. Some powerful supernatural beings act purely out of a desire for power and the thrill of ruling over the masses and being worshipped. However, the majority do so out of a desire to create a superior living environment and development conditions for their offspring. After all, for supernatural beings, their children don't necessarily inherit their supernatural abilities, but the offspring of ordinary humans can potentially become extraordinary beings due to various factors."

Finally, Arno concluded, "So, to some extent, this world is still quite fair. Even the son of God is not necessarily more noble than the son of a mortal."

"Sir, this is all the inside story I have known for more than 1,500 years." After telling Wang Bai all the information he knew, Arno spoke softly with fear and caution, his words full of awe for Wang Bai, fearing that this man with unfathomable strength would kill him if he was dissatisfied, leaving him in ashes.

Wang Bo's face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at Arno in front of him with a sharp gaze. He asked slowly, "Are you really not hiding anything that you haven't revealed?"

Arno shook his head, his face filled with helplessness as he said, "There really are no more secrets. Everything I say is true, and I would never dare to lie to you!"

However, at this moment, Arno seemed to suddenly remember something crucial. His eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Oh, right! I remember something. Inside the parliament, there's a very special and mysterious Archives Room Zero. The files stored there come from all corners of the world. There are some files that even I can't remember, and after reading them, I encounter a series of strange things."

Arno paused briefly, a look of indescribable fear on his face. He continued, "We speculate that those files are most likely crucial information left behind by some powerful being. They carry a terrifying power of mental contamination. If allowed to circulate, they would bring immeasurable disaster and harm to the entire world. Therefore, we have reached a consensus and worked together with other non-human beings to securely store these extremely dangerous files in Archive Room Zero, just in case."

"You should have the authority to enter, right?" Wang Bai stared at the person in front of him and suddenly asked.

Startled by these sudden words, Arno shuddered, a look of astonishment on his face. After a brief silence, he came to his senses and stammered, "Uh...indeed."

"Sir, do you want to go in?"

"Of course." Wang Bai's tone was firm and unquestionable, as if entering there was just a trivial matter to him.

Hearing this, Arno couldn't help but pause, secretly groaning in his heart, but facing Wang Bo's powerful strength, he still said with a stiff upper lip: "...Uh, if the Lord insists on going in, I will obey your orders."

However, Wang Bo keenly noticed the hesitation in Arno's words. His face darkened and he asked coldly, "Why, you don't want to?"

Feeling the chill emanating from Wang Bo, Arno was frightened and quickly waved his hands, replying in panic, "Yes...Yes! Please follow me, sir."

Just like that, under Wang Bo's invisible pressure, Arno had no choice but to play the role of a guide and "voluntarily" open the passage to the parliament.

As the clock ticked, the once plain wall gradually began to glow. Then, a bizarre scene unfolded before them—a tunnel filled with virtual images of various hour hands, like a passage through time and space, suddenly appeared right in front of Wang Bo.

Looking at this tunnel filled with unknowns and mysteries, Wang Bai showed no fear. He stepped forward without hesitation and walked straight in. At the same time, without even turning back, he gave an order: "You two stay here and wait for me." Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.

....................

Shortly after entering the tunnel, Wang Bai came to a silver-white room.

The moment he came into the room, a voice suddenly appeared.

"Authorization detected, time manipulator Arno."

"Please select the help you need."

"Go to Archives Room Zero."

"Confirmed to go to Archives Room Zero. This is a special operation. Confirm?"

"confirm!"

Before he could finish his words, a portal suddenly appeared on the wall in front of him. It was pitch black inside, as if it could swallow up everything in the world.

Seeing this, Wang Bai immediately entered, and as he entered the portal, the door disappeared.

This is Archive Room Zero.
