'The Anecdotal Encyclopedia to Magicks, Sorcery and Artifices' is an encyclopedia detailing various schools and forms of magicks, sorcery and artifices, written by former elvyn archer Amelie Neumann and co-written by half-human cleric Oleksei Sergeyevich. 

The encyclopedia has been regarded by many as one of the greatest pieces of written knowledge ever since the Founding of the Versailles Records (Annum 1557) — albeit has also criticized by numerous scholars for its rather autobiographical presentation. Among such scholars are famous authors 'Ulrich Olganov', and 'Kimura Shigetoro' of whom the former had allegedly stated in a drunken rant; 

"Those bloody baboons 'ave written a fucken' children's novel an' are passin' it off as if it 'ere some great big achievement. They've gone an' put dirt on th' word 'encyclopedia', 'ah tell you."

The original copy of the encyclopedia is believed to be kept within the Versailles Records, with the 200 known official reprints being copied over by hand.

Once, there was a great cloud of darkness—one that would engulf the entire continent of Ulteania. And thus, the sons of the Grand Morgan would set the world ablaze once more.

These are the undocumented and classified stories of the MORGAN Unit—the Asceanian espionage unit that singlehandedly halted the Seventh Daemonic War.

Welcome to the place where your nightmares will come true, in this book I will tell you the most terrifying horror stories.

Everything you thought was just a nightmare becomes reality here.

There's no actual synopsis here in my crappy book, I just got inspired to create my own version of Monster Girl Encyclopedia and Monster Musume monster list.

This book is solely created by my lonesome self, there will be mistakes in my grammar because English is not my native language.

This will be written like a substandard type of encyclopedia.

the Monster girls here is known as Mamono, a Japanese term for monster.

Want to write a system novel but don't have any ideas about what type of system to use? Want to base your novel around a useless gimmick which gives you a instant excuse on why your main character is living a power fantasy? Well look no further! I will be writing up system ideas and upgrade paths for anyone who would be  desperate enough for views to write in this genre !

God created humans, it was widely regarded as a mistake.
You've come here for a brief introduction to the history of humans? You've come to the wrong place!
But if you want, I can show you around heheh.

This is a book(?) about random nonsense and you should not quote this for any sort of essay, project, paper, or article. There will be factual information, but most of it will be my opinion on the history of humans.

The order of each chapter is not sorted in any way, shape, for, or fashion so have fun trying to find anything haha.


This is going on pause because I'm too lazy to write.
Hey I have my life, you have yours.
Happy 2019!

29th May, XXXX

That dream I had when I lost consciousness felt weird. It felt more like my memories than a dream. The beginning of the dream was a memory, but sand castle appearing out of thin air? That scene where grown-up Sebastian and I walk on the beach? That must be a dream. If those scenes aren't dreams, how do you explain them?

When I woke up, Mother was staying by my side. 

"Liana, are you feeling better? Why did you stand there like a statue? Haven't I taught you since you were small? When you see a fire, run! Run like your life depends on it! Even a five year old understands that, why didn't you run! If the prince wasn't there, you'll be burnt alive!"

I froze at the words 'burnt alive'. 

"Why didn't you run, Liana? Sally told me that fire was originally just the size of a hearth fire. I don't think you would be frightened by a fire the size of a hearth fire! "

"It... it spread on pretty quickly."

"Sally said you froze as soon as you saw the fire."

"I... I was caught off guard."

Mother eyed me suspiciously. She knew I was hiding something from her. But I can't explain it to her, can I? How I wish I could tell her what happened. How I wish I could do that. But I know too many secrets. Too many terrible secrets. I know too well what secrets can do. 

Secrets can kill. 

Without saying anything, I leaned forward and hugged my mother. Mother knew I would not tell her. She sighed and patted on my shoulder. 

"Now young lady, since you're saved by the prince, you'd better think of a way to thank him!"

I knew she has left things dropped for now. I smiled.

"I will Mother."

Even without Mother reminding, I am planning to do that. He saved me. Both from the real fire and my nightmare. If he wasn't there, I might have screamed or gone mad. Then I would not just be the Queen that brings Misfortune but Mad Queen as well. 

Wait. I don't plan to marry Sebastian anymore. What was I thinking???

But why was he at the party yesterday? Shouldn't he be entertaining Lord and Lady Astor? I did not remember him attending the party in my previous life. 

I should prepare a gift to show my gratitude. What should I prepare for him? What does he like? 

... Encyclopedia? If not why was there an encyclopedia in my room? 

But that was not creative. Think! You were married to him for 2 years!

He is a workaholic. He cares about his kingdom and his subjects. His hobby is looking at paperwork. He likes to eat meat. Especially steak. He does not like sweet things. He prefers wine. Oh! And dark chocolate. 

I once had a box of dark chocolates. I kept it in my room as my reading snacks. I ate only two pieces each day. As a Queen whose only work was to look through the castle bill once a month and stayed in her room all day. It was easy to get fat. So I stopped myself from indulging too much. But the chocolates kept disappearing. I was quite sure I didn't eat that many during the day. One explanation was that I dream walk. The other was Sebastian eating them. (I did not think servants dare to eat the Queen's chocolate.) I asked him one day while he was looking through some papers. And he said yes without blinking. Those were my chocolates!! For one moment, I was really worried I dream walked and ate that many chocolates. 

So... chocolate. Chocolate then. 

I decided to find Sally and go shopping together. After the fainting spree, I think I deserve some chocolates.

Red thread of fate draws them together...

Volume 1 Diary of a Reborn Queen
Introverted Queen × Ice King 
At twenty, I died as I watched my country burned to ashes. When I opened my eyes, I became 16 again.
The first thing I plan to do is breaking off my engagement with Prince Sebastian. 
"Let's break off our engagement. I don't want to be Queen anymore. You don't like me anyway." 
This is my life as a reborn queen.

That dream I had when I lost consciousness felt weird. It felt more like my memories than a dream. The beginning of the dream was a memory, but sand castle appearing out of thin air?

In every story, there is a male lead, a female lead and a second male lead. But what about the second female lead? 

Be it the unloved queen of a cold and distant king, the plain bodyguard of the forgotten prince, the evil stepsister of the well-loved genius, the servant who died protecting her lady or the defeated villainess. No one cares about their stories. 

This is the playbook of all forgotten second female leads. 

Volume IV: After the Villainess Failed to Overthrow the Gods (updating)
'In every story, there is a villain who has been defeated.  What happens to the defeated villain?'

After Lorelei's plot to overthrow the gods failed, she was stripped of her power and voice. She became a mermaid bound to a lake, with her enemy (the god) keeping guard of her. 
This is a story between a defeated villainess and her enemy.

Volume III: The evil stepsister who has lived through FIVE lives (completed)
'Please let me rest in peace!'

Odette was once an heiress who had it all, be it money, status or fiance. When her perfect stepsister appeared, she realized she was just a villain in this story. 
Odette, being the evil stepsister, was of course killed off halfway through the story. When she opened her eyes again she was reborn, but no matter what she did, she died in the end. 
Having experienced burning on a stake, the guillotine, hanging and stabbing to death, all she wanted now was to die normally after a normal life.


Volume II: Body guard of a forgotten prince (completed)
"You're just my tool. Know your place." 

It's her duty to follow her master's command. Even at the risk of injuring herself or losing her mind. 
It's his right to use her cold-heartedly. Even discarding her when she had become useless. 
She was a bird trapped inside a gilded cage, slowly losing her mind in the process.

Volume I: Rebirth of the unloved, forgotten Queen (completed)
"Let's break off our engagement. I don't want to be Queen anymore. You don't like me anyway."

At twenty, Liana died as she watched her country burned to ashes. 
When she opened her eyes, she was sixteen again. The first thing she planned to do was breaking off her engagement with Prince Sebastian. 
This is her story as a reborn queen.

Update on Tuesday and Thursday!

"Encyclopedia? Looks like it's the fabled gift from heaven. Let me give it a read."
"Encyclopedia, come out," Lin Fan lifted his arms and shouted.
However, after waiting for a while, nothing happened. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a heavy looking encyclopedia appeared in his mind.
"Looks like this is it. Doesn't seem like anything special. I better go check it out."
Lin Fan was feeling a bit worried. He knew that in this skeptical society, if people found out about the encyclopedia, they would want to examine it.
So, for his own safety, he vowed to not tell anyone about it even if it killed him.
"What kind of powers does this encyclopedia have?" Lin Fan flipped to the first page and realized that there was not even a contents page. He furrowed his brows and wondered if this was just some sort of joke. 
...
First page: Godly scallion pancake
The page was filled with pictures of scallion pancakes, all of which almost looked real. At the bottom of the page, there was also a row of words that had been recorded down. Lin Fan could understand the words as they were about the origin of the scallion pancake, the recipe and other facts about it.
He continued to flip the pages of the book.
The second page, blank.
Third page, blank.
...
Lin Fan immediately just flipped to the last page of the book, expecting it to be empty. It turned out that there were words inscribed.
"What the hell? Who created this joke of a book? The content page wasn't on the first page. It's on the last page. Whoever did this deserves an award," Lin Fan complained. Is this a joke? If he hadn't looked as thoroughly, he would have missed it.
Lin Fan carefully analyzed it and realized the categories on the contents page were a little complicated. He flipped to the page on food and realized it was divided into Chinese and Western food and in these categories, there were numerous sub-categories.
Thousands of dishes, dishes from all different corners of the world and the godly scallion pancake was one of them. Also, all these delicious dishes had many different variations which in turn had even more different variations. Lin Fan suddenly felt that his life had just become more interesting.
There were categories for martial arts, music, languages, sciences, arts, mathematics, medicine, crafts, appraisals, finances, drama, and singing…
Lin Fan could not believe his eyes after seeing so many categories. As he was preparing to rest for a moment, he saw a category which stunned him.
Isn't this defying nature?
Categories for martial arts, immortality, smelting tools, heroism…
Lin Fan suddenly felt like his stomach had a stone pressing down on it and he was unable to take a single breath.
If I unlock this category, would I still be human?
 
"Could this be the introduction of the Encyclopedia?" he said to himself.
Encyclopedia: Able to contain all the knowledge in the universe. As you unlock more pages, you will be able to learn more.
Encyclopedic points: If you complete certain tasks, you can obtain encyclopedic points. Another way of obtaining encyclopedic points would be to impart knowledge to others.
Usage of Encyclopedic Points: The usage of a fixed amount of Encyclopedic Points allows selective unlocking of pages. Without using Encyclopedic Points, pages will be randomly unlocked.
Encyclopedia tasks: Completing tasks and earning encyclopedic points would cause a new branch of knowledge in the encyclopedia to open.
Since the host is the first user, the knowledge on the first page is related to the occupation of the host.
Host: Lin Fan
Occupation: Scallion Pancake Hawker
Knowledge from the first page: Godly Scallion Pancakes
Mission: Gain a small amount of reputation (incomplete)
Reward: The second page of knowledge will be unlocked and +10 Encyclopedic Points.
At this moment, Lin Fan finally realized what this encyclopedia was and he felt a burst of anguish.
"F*ck the scallion pancakes. Why did I start with the scallion pancake business? If I was ambitious and trained day and night to become immortal, I would have unlocked the Encyclopedia page for immortality."
"I just let this once in a lifetime opportunity slip away like this. Even if I was a just back-end office worker in a bank, I would have unlocked the banking category. Then, the money would be flowing in endlessly. What a pity!"
Lin Fan was lying in bed when he suddenly realized how many opportunities he had lost. Regretting it was useless now, and he could only go back to making an honest living by selling scallion pancakes, hoping that the second page's knowledge would be more interesting. However, trying to complete this first mission was a pain in the ass.
Attain a small amount of reputation? How much is considered a small amount?
"Forget it, I'm just going to try having my own scallion pancakes and see how it goes. After seeing those people eat my pancakes, they looked like they tasted heaven. Could these scallion pancakes really be that good?"
Lin Fan felt heavy hearted as he accepted the reality that the encyclopedia was part of his life now.
It was really a gift from heaven. If he was to tell the world that his life was being taken over by the aliens and that he needed help, he would be a fool indeed.
Lin Fan felt a tinge of pride. The most awesome thing in the world was now his.
Hard work and more hard work, that's what he needed to become the most powerful person in the world.
"Enough talk. It's time to make some scallion pancakes."
Lin Fan went to work and started preparing the scallion pancakes. He was getting excited from it.
"Hey, not bad. It looks good and the smell is pretty good, but is it really that delicious?"
Lin Fan opened his mouth and took a bite.
Lin Fan was stunned. His eyes softened and his saliva started to flow out.
"This is really too delicious, I can't believe I made this!"
Lin Fan was shocked, he felt like he was going to collapse.
At this moment, he finally realized why everyone had reacted like that. The scallion pancake was really too delicious.
"Hmm, I never thought that I could make such a delicious pancake. Only heaven could reveal such knowledge to me." Lin Fan sat on his bedside as he savored the taste of the scallion pancake. His heart was content.
"I, Lin Fan, promise to be the best scallion pancake maker in Shanghai. I will make everyone fall in love with my scallion pancakes."
"No, this goal is too small. I, Lin Fan, will become the best at everything and earn a lot of money. I'll start in Shanghai and I'll make my ancestors proud when my business expands to my hometown."
Lin Fan was bubbling with excitement. Lin Fan had finally found his purpose.
"Brat, what's all that noise you're making? Be a little more realistic with your dreams, will you?" Elder Wang, who was nearby, exclaimed.
The old Lin Fan would have listened but things had changed.
Lin Fan retorted, "This is my dream. Now shut your mouth before I take one of my scallion pancakes and shove it down your mouth, you old man."
"You little..."
"Forget it, Elder Wang. Don't say anything else. He must have been really affected by the stiff competition in Shanghai."
"Fine, if not for you, I would have taught him a lesson!"
Lin Fan snorted in disdain. What a b*stard...
At that moment, his iPhone 4 rang.
Lin Fan knew no one would call him. It was a group message notification from WeChat.
"Attention: Students' gathering will be held on October 1st. We will be celebrating Teacher Xia's birthday as well. Be there or be square!" said 'A rich man', which was a WeChat username.
"Everyone must be present."
"It's Teacher Xia's birthday. This is too important to be missed. You should reschedule your appointments that day if you have any."
"What will you do, Lin Fan? It's okay if you don't sell your scallion pancakes for 2 days. I'll just reimburse your two days worth of income.."
"Haha."
"+1."
"+2."
As he saw the messages, Lin Fan's fingers started typing.
"If you want to buy 2 days' worth of scallion pancakes, you'd have to sell your house to be able to afford it."
"Haha, Lin Fan you are so funny."
"Shanghai isn't a good place to do business. Come to where I am, I'll hook you up with a job."
"You guys should stop teasing him. Surviving in Shanghai isn't easy. But honestly speaking, we're all still young. Selling scallion pancakes at this age when you could be doing so much more is such a waste of your youth."
"Wang Zhen, you're one to talk. Although it isn't a glorious business, it seems easy to get on the news..."
"Youngster in Shanghai only makes $100 a day by selling scallion pancakes."
"Haha, you would have to live on the streets in Shanghai if you're making just $100 a day."
...
Lin Fan decided to not look at his phone anymore. He was just going to get teased further.
Is the meetup on the 1st of October? I can't wait to shove my scallion pancakes down their throats.
Hmmph!
I, Lin Fan, have been blessed by heaven, unlike these people. It's only July now, I still have plenty of time to make it big.
But onto more important things. I need to raise the price of my scallion pancakes tomorrow, or else I'll end up making a loss...


I am Lin Fan and I've become a jack of all trades just because of a powerful Encyclopedia. 
In the first ever competition organised for trolls, all the other contestants lost. The crowd exclaimed, "Brother, you're so good at trolling." 
Lin Fan replied, "But I've never been trolling..."

After a rainy patrol I returned to the school for my end of patrol report, on my way to the meeting room I ran into phos doing their usual things, running around and playing... And bothering the other gems.
" Hi Rain~~ whatcha doin?"
"Hello Phos I'm on my way to make my end of patrol report then going to my room"
"Ooo I want to do a patrol too! Its no fair everyone else has awesome jobs"
"Sadly you are far too fragile to patrol maybe sensei will find something for you"
"Well anyway I think if I was taught I could probably beat Dia or Bort"
"Yes you stick with that positive attitude, I'm sure one day sensei will let you fight who knows what could happen"
"YAAA! I AM OFF GOTTA GO TAKE THAT NAP You KNOW!?"
"Right...."
When phos ran off I continued on my way to the meeting room to give my report, honestly why do we have to give reports when its raining can't we just forgo the report on rainy days.
*sight~*
'I kinda want to take a nap too, maybe after the report'
----Time Skip----
"And that concludes my report"
"Thank you rain, now that everyone has reported you are all dismissed for the day"
"Right"
"Ok"
"Yes"
"Anyone want to play cards in my room?"
"Not me Benito sorry I want to nap or something"
"OK rain anyone else want to play"
"I will"
"Me too"
"Me as well"
"Alright lets gooooo imma win this time!"
After I left the meeting room I wandered around a little bit, then went to the library read some books on types of lunariens and some other things, then went to my room all was going swell while I was lying on my bed in a nice sleep.
~You my boy have died~
~ya tell me something I don't know dickhead~
~hahhahahah a feisty one eh? Seeing as you are dissatisfied how about I reincarnate you ?~
~haa what like in those anime and manga?~
~yes you see I'm bored and want some entertainment, so I will give you lets see 2 wishes and your choice of what universe you want to be reborn into~
~hmm alright ill bite~
~That's just swell so what universe do you want to reborn in?~
~hmm how about Houseki No Kuni~
~and what are your 2 wishes?~
~i want to have the same crystal structure as Bort but look like Dia and have long hair separated into 4 tails~
~for my second wish I want the power to self repair within 5m of my other fragments and some sort of glowing ability and have a high learning ability~
~ok granted have fun in your new world~
~laters~
*flash*
*thunk*
'Hmm where am I? its so bright o right I fell asleep in my room but what was that weird dream?'
----Time Skip----
After that strange dream I woke up on the floor, so I got up and started to walk around the school, I stopped by the medic corner to see how Rutile was doing.
"Hello Rutile, no phos I see"
"Hello Rain, yes no phos hopefully not today unless they get themselves into trouble"
"Trouble!"
"Let me guess phos ran into a pillar or maybe... The pond?"
"No sensei called everyone to the school entrance Morga and Goshe are in trouble!"
"Right we are on our way lets go Rain!"
"Right!"
Me, Rutile, and yellow ran to the entrance of the school at full speed, there wasn't a second to spare our siblings were in trouble and time was of the essence, when we got near the entrance we could see everyone minus Morga, Goshe, and Alex.
"Sensei everyone is here"
"Right lets depart with all do haste"
""Right!!""
We were running in a v formation with sensei at the tip, it only took us 7 minutes to get to where Morga and Goshe were, the lunarians where collecting the pieces of them on the ground and putting them into the bowls they had, sensei didn't look too happy not because of the Lunarians tho.
"Everone destroy the Lunarians"
""Roger""
Everyone dispersed and started to attack the lunarians I went for the ones that were closest to their ship, and left the rest for the others after we cleared up the Lunarians we all gathered around Sensei.
"Looking out for your elders are you"
"HERE IT COMES EVERYONE RETREAT!"
"ITS FAR TOO EARLY FOR THAT YOU DAMN FOOLS!"
*shatter*
For some reason instead of running away like the rest of us phos clung onto Sensei's back like that is going to stop his shockwave from getting them.
"O dear"
"You are particularly fragile and a peppermint color the lunarians are fond of"
"You have a hardness of only 3 I was at a loss for what job you could do"
"Why don't I just fight"
"You best give up on that idea you would need to wipe out and army in one fell swoop stronger than even my self"
"Ya~ that's not happening"
"So I have decided, you are going to compile our encyclopedia"
"WHAT!! That sounds so boring"
"A lot of nerve coming from someone like you"
"That frankness and a keen eye are exactly what is needed for compiling our encyclopedia and fighting"
"Your just trying to get rid of me"
*zip*
"I don't want to make an encyclopedia!"
"Stop moving"
"Gaaaaaaa!"
---Time Skip---
Back at the school I was at the medic corner helping Rutile put Morga, Goshe, and Phos back together  it only took a few minutes since they were not that badly damaged phos was back to their usual antics.
" Heliodor was turned into all this, do you think if we get enough pieces we can bring them back?"
"Of course our bodies are home to microscopic organism you see, even if we break into pieces as long as we get enough parts we can be rebuilt, a wonderful characteristic of ours seen in no other living being, but thanks to that we have grown incapable of giving up on anything"
"Right there you are take it easy for a few days"
"Thanks Rutile, Rain"

I do not own houseki no kuni only the chara white diamond, the cover is not mine, found it on Pinterest.

Although Tu Shi Cheng was the father of this boy that Fang Yuan was disguised as, he was completely unreliable.
What did he mean by rely on feelings?
Innate talents could not be embodied like this.
If the construction of the Gu formation failed, in a minor case, the Gu worms would be injured or destroyed, and in a severe case, the Gu Master themselves would suffer the backlash. If one could create a Gu formation just by relying on feelings, formation path Gu Immortals would not be so rare in the present five regions.
Arranging a Gu formation was a precise and rigorous task, like deducing Immortal Gu recipes. They both were similar, requiring a process, detailed consideration and continuous tests.
However, since the dream realm was like this, Fang Yuan calmed his mind, and continued to ponder how he should tackle this situation where it seemed he truly had to do it in the way Tu Shi Cheng said. 
Fang Yuan asked: "Do I need to use all the four Gu worms?"
"Of course not. But you need to at least select two to set up a Gu formation." Tu Shi Cheng replied.
"I simply don't know about this earth path Gu worm, so it will be better to give it up." Fang Yuan continued to think, as such, he had three choices in front of him.
"Hurry up, don't think too much, rely on your feelings!" Just as Fang Yuan had spent slightly longer in thinking, Tu Shi Cheng's expression sank a little, urging: "I will give you three breaths of time."
Three breaths of time?
And there was only one chance!
Wasn't he purposely making it difficult?
A thought flashed past Fang Yuan's mind: "Do I need to use unravel dream?"
His current accumulation was already different from the past. Last time, when he explored the giant dream realm, he had limited quantities of dream path mortal Gu, which led to a limited number of times that unravel dream could be used, Fang Yuan had to be very efficient when using it. 
But it was different now.
Fang Yuan had enough confidence. 
Because he had captured many nightmare demonic colts, using these natural dream path immortal materials along with his persistent refinement, he now possessed very many dream path mortal Gu.
Thus, the number of times he could use unravel dream was at a peak now.
Precisely because of this, Fang Yuan had an unprecedented amount of confidence.
"Forget it. This is only the first layer of the dream realm, even if it fails, I can continue to explore. Although I can use unravel dream much more now, I cannot waste it like this."
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and gave up on using unravel dream.
He began to activate the Gu worms.
First was formation heart Gu.
This yellow ladybug was already refined by him, his primeval essence was consumed, it immediately hovered and stopped in front of Fang Yuan, shining with pale yellow light.
"Fire path, water path, wind path…"
Fang Yuan mumbled, since he had given up on the earth path Gu worm, then he only had these three choices remaining.
He chose the rank one water path Gu worm.
The reason for this choice was simple, his fire path and wind path attainment levels were ordinary, but in water path, he was a grandmaster!
Grandmaster attainment was not for show.
The water path Gu worm was successfully activated, it was bathed in the yellow light and revolved around the formation heart Gu, flying up and down.
"Fire path and wind path…"
Fang Yuan chose wind path.
The wind path Gu worm also mixed in, and like the water path Gu worm, it flew around the formation heart Gu. It was just that the wind path Gu worm was in the periphery, while the water path Gu worm was nearer to the formation heart Gu.
Fang Yuan waited for a bit. Among these three Gu worms, one was hovering in the air while the other two were continuously flying around, they were all activated but were still extremely stable. 
"Although they have not formed a true Gu formation, this progress is quite good." Fang Yuan was slightly pleased.
To use an analogy, arranging a Gu formation was like building blocks.
Each Gu worm was a strangely shaped building block, the Gu Master needed to arrange these building blocks into the shape they wanted. These scattered building blocks would form high towers, buildings and other shapes, creating an effect that far surpassed the individual building block.
Although Fang Yuan had not successfully arranged these building blocks into a shape, these three Gu worms were at least mutually compatible and did not collapse.
This was quite good progress.
However, a trace of gloominess and disappointment flashed past Tu Shi Cheng's eyes.
Fang Yuan, who was focused on setting up the Gu formation, did not notice it.
"Now, I need to adjust it."
"Does the formation heart Gu need to stay in the center?"
"Can the positions of the water path and wind path Gu be swapped? Water path inside, and wind path outside, can I adjust it to water path outside, and wind path inside?"
"Or maybe, the water path Gu and the wind path Gu can be together, should I let the wind path Gu revolve around the water path Gu instead of the formation heart Gu?"
As Fang Yuan pondered, all kinds of plans emerged in his mind. 
He did not know what results these plans could give, or what effects would they have.
His formation path attainment was truly too lacking.
"Rely on your feelings, stop hesitating." Tu Shi Cheng urged, looking somewhat impatient.
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, actually, he didn't need Tu Shi Cheng's urging, he also knew he had to take action.
If nothing else, his primeval essence was about to dry up.
In the dream realm, he had just become a Gu Master, although he had A grade aptitude, he was activating three Gu worms at the same time, which intensely burdened on his primeval essence.
He already did not have much time to think.
"Let's give it a try then." Fang Yuan inwardly gritted his teeth, as he activated the fire path Gu worm as well, putting it inside the newly created structure. 
He made no changes to the previous foundation.
Because he did not know what use making changes would have, and also did not know if there was a need to make changes.
He was a pure beginner with no feeling for the right action, the attempt was done blindly.
"But my luck is good, maybe I can succeed by chance?" Fang Yuan still had some hope.
But soon, his hope was ruined.
The moment the fire path Gu worm was added in, it immediately led to a chain reaction.
The fire path Gu's strength joined with the wind path Gu, immediately increasing the power. This immediately conflicted with the water path Gu that was inside, water and fire were opposing forces, immediately creating an explosion. 
A soft explosion echoed, it was not intense, but it still exploded, covering Fang Yuan's face with black soot. 
His hair stood up on end, white smoke was rising.
At the same time, the formation heart Gu was directly destroyed, the other three Gu worms were also injured to various degrees; the water path and fire path Gu worms were on the verge of death, while the wind path Gu worm was also heavily injured.
"You have failed!" Tu Shi Cheng's expression changed, he said with a cold tone: "You truly disappoint me."
Guh.
Fang Yuan's vision changed as he was expelled out of the dream realm.
The first exploration had failed.
His soul returned to his body, his body slightly shook, his healthy complexion suddenly paled.
Fang Yuan immediately inspected his injuries, and found that the injury to his soul was much more severe than he expected.
But it did not matter.
Guts Gu!
Fang Yuan took out a guts Gu and crushed it, the injuries of his soul were immediately relieved greatly. Fang Yuan used another guts Gu, and immediately his soul injuries were completely healed. 
The slight sense of vertigo had disappeared at once.
Because he had guts Gu, Fang Yuan was not afraid of failing in his dream realm exploration and his soul being injured.
"Right now, I should be the first person to explore the dream realm. Even Shadow Sect's remnant forces won't be able to catch up to me." Fang Yuan calculated.
This was because he had two great trump cards to explore dream realms.
First was guts Gu, it could heal soul injuries.
Second was unravel dream. Once used, it would get one straight to solving the problem, its usefulness was somewhat unreasonable.
Guts Gu came from Dang Hun Mountain, Fang Yuan had placed Dang Hun Mountain in Lang Ya blessed land, and was even cooperating with Lang Ya Sect in trading guts Gu.
They had a monopoly on guts Gu business, they were the only ones producing it, and its demand was always higher than its supply.
Recently, Fang Yuan had not been selling his portion of the guts Gu for profit, instead, he was accumulating them.
He had a single objective, to be fully prepared in exploring the dream realm.
Thus, he had large numbers of guts Gu with him. Because of this, he was short on money, and had no choice but to expand the scale of some of his resources to improve his finances.
The first failure did not matter.
With guts Gu, Fang Yuan's soul immediately recovered, and could go for a second exploration.
But he was not hurried, instead using connecting heaven Gu to let his divine sense enter treasure yellow heaven.
He began to gather information.
First was that earth path mortal Gu.
Fang Yuan did not recognize it, so he needed to understand it.
Fang Yuan soon bought a set of <<The Encyclopedia of Earth Path Gu Worms>> from an earth path Gu Immortal.
This was an information transaction and was among the businesses in treasure yellow heaven.
There were transactions of methods to target against Gu worms, there were introductions and understandings of Gu paths, there was news of the present political situation, there were also deductions of time path and wisdom path Gu Immortals on the past, present and future.
Fang Yuan naturally could rely on his five hundred years of experiences to sell information that could definitely attract people.
But this kind of information was normally very cheap, and not long after selling them, Fang Yuan's rebirth advantage would weaken, so Fang Yuan had never even considered it.
Fang Yuan was not satisfied with just this Gu Immortal's work, <<The Encyclopedia of Earth Path Gu Worms>>, and bought some relevant information, naturally including some mortal formation path inheritances.
These cost him close to ten immortal essence stones.
To Fang Yuan, this was just peanuts.
He soon learned of that earth path mortal Gu from the information he bought. This was a Gu worm that appeared in the early stages of the Late Antiquity Era. It was soon extinct, because the Gu materials required to refine it had been wiped out. The information recorded briefly introduced this earth path Gu worm's ability. Fang Yuan even obtained the recipe of this earth path mortal Gu from another information source.
