Chapter 320: The God of Calamity, Uchiha Yi!
Compared to Clarke, Robin remained calm and patient, diligently flipping through historical records.
Years of reading practice had trained her to skim through books at lightning speed, absorbing key details without slowing down.
As for Clarke's so-called "help," Robin never really expected much from it.
When she noticed Clarke's half-hearted effort, she merely glanced up, then returned to the sea of books without showing any emotion.

"..."
The silence spoke louder than words, and Clarke felt like she could hear Robin silently mocking her.
Her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Hmph! I'm not giving up that easily!"
Clarke muttered to herself, determined not to let Robin look down on her.
Gritting her teeth, she randomly grabbed another book and hesitantly opened it as if it were a beast that might bite her.
Her mind screamed to push it away, yet pride wouldn't let her back down.
With a great deal of effort, she finally opened to the first page.

Foreword
> "In ancient times, it was an era of chaos and mythology.
Gods ruled the world, and humans were like livestock—mere tools for their amusement.
Life and death depended entirely on the whims of the gods.
Humanity's future seemed destined for hell, until one day, someone accidentally obtained the power of the gods.
With that power, they challenged divinity itself and changed the fate of mankind."
Reading these few lines, Clarke surprisingly didn't feel the usual headache that came with reading.
Instead, her curiosity was piqued, and she eagerly flipped to the next page, wondering what the ancient era was really like.
Rustle!
The sound of flipping pages echoed, and Clarke saw that the next page was the Table of Contents.
She wasn't interested in boring tables, so she was about to flip past it when something strange caught her eye.
Her hand, already poised to turn the page, froze mid-action.
She carefully looked at the line that had caught her attention, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
"The God of Calamity, Uchiha Yi! — Page 123"
"????"
Clarke's face was plastered with a confused and bewildered expression.
Her brain struggled to process the absurdity of what she just saw.
"Uchiha Yi... is an ancient god?"
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
It had to be some kind of joke!
Someone must have sneakily inserted Uchiha Yi's name into the book as a prank.
Or perhaps it was just a coincidence—a different person who happened to have the same name.
But whatever the case, it was enough to spark Clarke's curiosity.
She immediately flipped to page 123, eager to see what kind of ridiculous story awaited her.

When the page settled, the first thing she saw was a portrait of Uchiha Yi, looking exactly as she remembered.
Clarke couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Seriously? This is ridiculous!"
"Who would actually believe that Uchiha Yi is a god?!"
"This has got to be some crackpot fiction."
Her laughter was loud and unrestrained, completely shattering the tranquility of the room.
The sheer absurdity of it was too much for her to handle.
The commotion finally attracted Robin's attention, and she looked up calmly.
"Clarke, what's going on? What's so funny?"
Robin asked, her tone steady and composed.
"Ah! Sorry, Robin!"
"I didn't mean to interrupt you."
"It's just... this book! It's absolutely hilarious!"
"You've gotta see this!"
Clarke, trying to control her laughter, held out the book to Robin.
Robin couldn't help but be curious about what could make Clarke lose her composure so completely.
Sighing softly, she marked her place in her own book and accepted the one Clarke handed over.
Her gaze fell on the vivid portrait, and her eyes widened.
"That's... the Captain?"
Robin murmured, confused.
"Yup, that's your captain, Uchiha Yi!"
"Can you believe someone actually wrote a story claiming he's some kind of ancient god?!"
"It's so ridiculous that I couldn't stop laughing!"
Robin's initial confusion mirrored Clarke's earlier reaction, and seeing Robin's bemused expression made Clarke feel oddly satisfied.
It felt good to share something so absurd.
However, as Robin skimmed through the text, her mind started to process the content seriously.
From what she could tell, most of the descriptions—aside from the "god" part—matched Uchiha Yi's abilities and characteristics almost perfectly.
Even stranger was the age of the book itself.
Robin's keen scholarly instincts kicked in.
She examined the paper quality, the binding, and the printing style.
Everything about it suggested that the book was over a hundred years old.
"Wait a minute..."
Robin's face turned solemn as she continued to read.
She knew from past discussions that Uchiha Yi's age was no more than twenty-five.
This raised a serious problem—how could someone from over a century ago accurately describe Uchiha Yi's powers and personality?
It wasn't just a similarity—it was a near-perfect match.
"Clarke, this book... it's not just some silly story. It's an ancient text."
Robin's tone grew more serious, making Clarke blink in confusion.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Clarke asked, tilting her head.
"This book is at least a century old. That means whoever wrote it couldn't possibly have known Uchiha Yi."
"And yet, it describes him and his abilities almost perfectly."
Clarke's face shifted from amusement to disbelief.
"What? No way! How could that be?!"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out."
Robin replied, her eyes glued to the text as her mind raced to make sense of it all.
The implications were unsettling.
If the records were accurate, then how could Uchiha Yi's existence and abilities be documented from a time long before his birth?
And why was he labeled as the God of Calamity?
A chill crept down Robin's spine.
Suddenly, the strange feeling of familiarity that had been bothering her seemed to make more sense.
It wasn't just her imagination—there really was something unexplainable about Uchiha Yi.
"I need to investigate this further."
Robin muttered, her heart pounding as countless thoughts swirled in her mind.
This discovery might just be the key to unlocking the mystery surrounding Uchiha Yi.
