Chapter 1246 Universe and Eon (1/2)

The cowhide notebook was supposed to be old, and the cowhide used for the cover was shiny with rubbing grease, almost covered with a layer of patina.

The paper was carefully maintained. Whether it was waxed or preserved with some other method, it looked shiny.

There were some very large words in the notebook, which Li Du did not recognize. There were only a handful of words on each page, all as big as walnuts. He glanced at them at random and could see them clearly.

He did not know these words, but he had seen some of them before. He had seen at least one of them often on the left leg of the little bug and on its wings.

The little bug now had multiple legs and wings, and each time it grew a new set, it would have a complex pattern on them, kind of like a word.

Li Du could not find it, so it was just his guess. He had thought, maybe it was not the word, maybe those were just the markings on the bug.

Now that he saw what was in the notebook, however, he was certain that it was writing!

Tang Chaoyang was particularly sensitive. As a shocked expression appeared on Li Du's face, Tang Chaoyang closed his notebook immediately, raised his head to look at Li Du, and asked, ”What happened?”

Li Du steadied his mind and said vaguely, ”Nothing, I am… well… what is the picture in your notebook?”

Tang Chaoyang quickly asked, ”This is a kind of writing, have you seen it? Which one have you seen?”

Li Du hesitated, but he thought that there should be no risk in describing the two patterns on the little bug as long as he did not expose the little bug itself.

Thus, he opened the notebook, pointed at an image and said, ”I've seen this.”

”Only this one?” asked Tang Chaoyang, staring at him.

His eyes were dark as a black hole. Li Du gulped and said, ”You tell me what this word is, and I will write the other. I know two.”

Tang Chaoyang nodded and led him to a corner. He handed Li Du a pen and said, ”Write. Write down the word you just saw.”

Li Du knew that Tang Chaoyang did not trust him and might think he was looking for some mysterious information, and therefore asked him to write the word he had just identified.

This was easy. He saw the little bug every day.

He wrote the word he had seen on the little bug's right leg and right wing, which he had just read in his notebook.

When he finished, Tang Chaoyang's breath grew heavier and he whispered, ”I don't know exactly how to read this word, but according to the translation, it is like the word 'zhou', eon, in our Chinese characters.”

Li Du thought for a while, and then he wrote out the words he saw on the left leg and wing of the little bug and asked, ”Do you know the meaning of this word?”

Looking at this word, Tang Chaoyang became absent-minded. He tilted his head and looked at the word, and then stretched his hands to touch it, but pulled back, exclaiming, ”God!”

Li Du said, ”This word means god?”

Tang Chaoyang looked up at him. There was something wrong with his expression. He slowly shook his head and said, ”No, I only said, oh God, this is it!”

”What?” Li Du questioned.

Tang Chaoyang gulped and said, ”I'll tell you the meaning of this word. It is probably Yu, universe.
