A short while later, the entire class arrived at a new building in the training camp.
"This is the library where all the information needed for basic trainees can be found," the professor explained.
"I don't know if any of you have been here already, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to visit from ti to ti to read up on information. Combat is important for a divine descendant, but so is theory—you never know when information can save your life."
Afterwards, the professor led the group of students into the library.
As Aiden walked inside, he was instantly amazed. He didn't know what magic was used, but the interior of the library seed much larger than the outside would have let him possibly imagine.
Inside, the air was cool and faintly musty, carrying the scent of aged papyrus and parchnt. Light filtered through narrow windows set high in the walls, casting long, golden beams that illuminated the dust particles hanging in the air.
The floor was made of smooth stone, worn by the footsteps of countless people who had co before, showing not only the age of the library but the entire camp as a whole.
All around him, Aiden could see rows of wooden shelves lining the walls, filled with scrolls and codices ticulously organized by subject. The scrolls, wrapped in leather or linen, were labeled with tags for easy identification. But even more eye-catching than this mystical den of knowledge was a giant crimson fla burning in the heart of the library.
At first, Aiden's initial instinct was to curse.
"Which crazy bastard dared to set a fire in the library? Was he not afraid of being struck down by divine thunder?!"
But after closer inspection, Aiden soon realized that there was a faint translucent barrier encasing the giant fla. Obviously, this had been placed here with careful consideration, so Aiden's fears were completely unwarranted.
Despite this, Aiden still found it a little odd.
Even if there were backup asures, was it necessary to have a giant bonfire in the middle of the library? It was quite literally playing with fire!
It wasn't just Aiden who was confused; other students had similar looks of bewildernt on their faces as they saw this strange sight. The professor noticed this and smiled as he spoke.
"The fire of creation is linked to all Divine Descendants and acts as a nexus enabling them to accumulate and develop feats of renown. The true effects of the fire of creation do not stop there by any ans. The Gate of Fire, the divine network for transport, or even the devices you use for communication—all of it can be linked to the fire of creation.
It lives up to its na and acts as the origin for the creation of countless things."
He continued, "Think of it like the main server of all the gods' domains and facilities. As a library, even though it's just a minor offshoot for the camp, it's naturally linked to the fire of creation back on Mount Olympus."
Hearing this, a few students couldn't help but marvel at the gods and their thods. But one student had a question on his mind and asked, "If the divine fire of creation is so important, doesn't that an anything that happens to it could affect everything? What if soone tries to sabotage it?"
Hearing this, the professor tilted his head and almost burst out laughing. With a dazzling smile on his face, he turned to the student who asked the question.
"The fire of creation is located at the peak of Mount Olympus and at the heart of the domain of the gods. If soone enters such a place with malicious intentions, you shouldn't be worried about the fire of creation; instead, you should be worried about why soone chose to commit suicide in such a strange way!"
It was only then that the student realized how ignorant his question was. But Aiden had another thought. If there really was a being that could cause such a ruckus upon Mount Olympus, his worries wouldn't be limited to just the fire of creation. Shaking such ominous thoughts out of his head, Aiden and the other students listened to a few more instructions.
Looking at the vast, large library, Aiden was stunned and didn't really know where to start. The library was built on three floors, each floor being at least 12 feet high.
Aiden saw this and was left breathless.
There were many different gods, and naturally, divine descendants of all these gods would create and pass down various techniques, so he naturally expected there to be a lot, but even so, Aiden was still a little intimidated.
He had to rember that this was just a small branch built specifically for the training camp. These trainees and students were just 1st rank Divine Descendants in the Burning Ember stage—how many techniques could they possibly learn?
Imagine how vast and magnificent the main library located at Olympus Academy would be. As Aiden thought about this, his resolve to enter the main academy was only strengthened once again.
Aiden finally began to look around and browse the bookshelves for the descriptions of the techniques they wanted. Fortunately, the library was properly labeled, allowing one to find the sections for their bloodline without much hassle.
