Chapter 848: The Eye of Truth (please vote for the extra large chapter)
The systematic introduction of the entire story actually has a narrative subject, that is, the group of wizards who sealed the ‘eyes’.
From the perspective of this narrative subject, these wizards seemed to be pure victims. They found out that they were being chased by eyes, and then found a way to carve the eyes to relieve the pursuit, and then were discovered by the eyes of other wizards behind them.
But what if these wizards are not pure victims?
What if the ‘wizard’ is the active party in the whole story?
It is true that the 'Eye of Truth' will chase those wizards who are pursuing the truth, so some bold wizards want to capture the 'Eye of Truth' following them.
They shared the plan with other wizards, but it was not well received, so they decided to do it themselves.
The 'wise man' in the story may refer to their collective wisdom, or to a hidden existence that has blended in with them, or both.
In the end, they succeeded, and 'concretely' and 'sealed' the entire Eye of Truth through the 'Slate Array'.
This can explain the 'carved' stone slab in the story, but in reality it is a concrete sealing circle.
At the end of the story, the "Eye of Truth" behind the other wizards "saw" this group of bold wizards.
Perhaps this is a hint that 'truth' discovered their behavior.
And this can be linked to the first prompt of the system, 'But when you steal the power of truth, the eyes of truth may be looking at you.'
Connected in this way, the 'eye of truth' in front of you is most likely to come from the 'power of truth'.
As for why the system tells such a vague 'fable', He Ao is more inclined to think that it may be a legend related to the 'Eye of Truth Slate'.
After all, the extraordinary items before the system had many "introductions" in the form of "supposedly" and "legends". The content after "please pay attention" is the real prompt of the system.
The birth of a certain kind of popular fable may be a slip of the tongue by the communicator, or it may be a deliberate attempt to cover up ‘something’.
For example, the system prompt says, 'Knowledge is a bridge, cognition is a connection.' Maybe as long as you talk or mention the true origin of the 'Eye of Truth Slate', you will be noticed by the 'truth' hidden outside of time and space.
Therefore, those who spread the story deliberately 'alienated' the origin of the Eye of Truth Slate in order to hinder the perception of 'truth' as much as possible.
While his thoughts were tumbling, the consciousness controlled by He Ao had penetrated into the deepest part of the stone slab.
Feeling the rapid consumption of his spiritual consciousness, he grasped the blood-moistening jade pendant hanging on his chest and soaked his spiritual consciousness into it at the same time.
Noisy, chaotic, distorted.
Madness that seemed to tear apart the brain bloomed in He Ao's mind.
This is from the pollution inside the jade pendant.
At the same time, He Ao felt that his perspective was gradually withdrawing, and the whole world unfolded in his eyes in another form.
He immediately moved his 'eyes' towards the stone slab that sealed the Eye of Truth.
At this moment, the 'Eye of Truth' in the sky also twisted its perspective and looked at 'him'.
When He Ao used the power of the 'Jade Pendant' to spy on the Eye of Truth and the stone tablet, the power of the Eye of Truth seemed to have reached a certain provocation and quickly responded in response.
boom--
Like a thunder blast in his mind, blood overflowed from He Ao's eyes, cochlea, nostrils, and corners of his mouth.
At the same time, the roaring sound of thunder in my mind continued to intensify.
Multiple superimposed pollutions played a chaotic symphony in He Ao's mind, but his movements did not stop at all.
The main function of the jade pendant is to increase ‘comprehension’. Although it is best used to study martial arts, it is not bad for studying other things.
For example, this densely packed ‘stone array’.
Under the influence of the jade pendant, this complicated and thick stone formation finally unfolded in his field of vision.
A severe dizziness hit He Ao's mind almost the moment the magic circle was deployed.
He activated his super memory at this moment and 'memorized' all these complicated magic formations.
The complexity of this stone formation far exceeded He Ao's understanding.
It's like a primary school student opening a high-level mathematics book. Even though he has a very high level of understanding with the help of the jade pendant, many things in it are beyond the scope of his 'comprehension'. He is in the middle.
gained too much knowledge.
However, he does not want to completely understand these magic circles now.
What he wants to do is just write his 'name' on this 'book of advanced mathematics' and engrave his own 'control array'.
But even so, this is not an easy task.
Those violent pollutions were like countless strong men holding down his hands, preventing him from moving.
The spiritual consciousness he used as a 'pen' in his hand was not a light pen, but a weak wooden stick.
If he couldn't find a suitable position, he wouldn't even be able to leave any traces on this magic circle.
He initially tried to leave traces on some 'connection points', but the power of his spiritual consciousness could not change even one of these connection points.
The violent pollution constantly impacted He Ao's mind, and he calmed down and looked bit by bit for places where 'traces' could be left between these magic circles.
Along with this search, he is also constantly 'recognizing' this magic circle. Although he still cannot understand some very complicated things, there are some simple things that are interoperable between magic circles.
So he slowly found some simple 'edge arrays'. The 'role' of these arrays did not seem to be critical, and some were even 'decorative patterns' used to beautify the structure of the entire array.
The structure of these magic arrays is not solid. Under the guidance of spiritual consciousness, some 'shifts' can occur. He Ao continued to 'shift' bit by bit through his spiritual consciousness, and slowly pieced together a magic circle.
prototype.
As time passed, his back was soaked with blood, and his entire face was covered with blood.
His eyes were unfocused, and his pupils seemed to be drawn up and diverged.
The pollution in his mind became stronger and stronger, and the overflowing pollution even began to corrode his body.
But even so, his movements still did not stop at all, until the huge and complicated control circle finally showed its shape in his 'vision', until the last stroke of the 'K' symbol was outlined.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The assembled control array emerged on the 'surface' of the stone slab, emitting a faint light.
At this moment, the consciousness in He Ao's hand was completely drained.
His consciousness was withdrawn from the increase in understanding of the 'Jade Pendant' and returned to his body. A strong sense of fatigue came over him almost instantly.
At this moment, the 'Eye of Truth' stone slab in the sky instantly shattered into countless orange-gray lights, which poured into He Ao's body in an instant.
More terrifying pollution exploded in He Ao's mind.
A certain feeling of flesh and blood being torn from the inside out passed into He Ao's mind. At this moment, his body tensed up and his eyes were closed tightly.
Countless scattered strange powers filled He Ao's body, and slender cracks spread out from his cheeks, his palms, his arms, and his back, as if he was about to open his eyes one by one.
The power of super memory exploded at this moment, forcibly suppressing these forces and bringing them together.
The cracks faded away like the tide, and the strong pain pulled the young man's body. He slowly straightened up and opened his hands until all the strength gathered together.
boom-
The closed eyes suddenly opened, and in the depths of the dark eyes, two orange-gray concentric rings nested together also lit up at the same time, as if an eye had opened again.
At the same time, behind He Ao's head, a huge illusory eye nested in an inverted triangle was outlined from the void and slowly opened.
The whole world seems to have changed colors, and threads made of countless truths are connecting to become everything in He Ao's field of vision.
He raised his head and looked at one of the two bottles of water on the table.
And as his gaze swept across, the entire bottled water disappeared from the world in an instant, as if it had been erased by an eraser.
He turned his gaze and looked at the wall beside him.
The streets, street lights, and sky outside the wall appeared in his "vision" at the same time.
As long as he has a thought, it seems that he can erase any 'things' in his field of vision and deconstruct them into the most essential truth.
He can easily erase bottled water, and he can also easily erase a B-class transcendent.
There seemed to be a voice in his mind reminding him to 'deconstruct' everything.
Is this the power of angels?
He lowered his head and looked at his palms. Bright red cracks had spread all over his body. It seemed that in just a moment, his body would shatter like a 'porcelain doll'.
Feeling the constant pollution in his mind, he slowly turned off his super memory and closed his eyes, while the illusory eyes suspended behind him also closed at the same time.
The whole world seemed to be quiet at this moment.
He opened his eyes again, and the light in the depths of his pupils had disappeared, and the whole world seemed to have returned to eternal peace.
He raised his hand and glanced at his palm. The bloody cracks were still there, but they were hidden under the skin.
He walked to the coffee table, picked up the remaining bottle of bottled water, opened it, and took a sip.
After the Eye of Truth tablet carved the control circle, it directly 'melted' into his body, which he did not expect.
There are no prompts in the system.
Maybe the system didn't expect that he would carry such violent pollution to carve a control circle on the Eye of Truth stone.
Any ordinary B-level would have gone crazy when they were first exposed to this kind of violent pollution, not to mention that He Ao also added the pollution of the jade pendant in order to increase his understanding.
Of course, it is not a bad thing for the stone slab to melt into He Ao's body.
Strictly speaking, this stone slab is not actually integrated into his body, but has some mystical connection with his body and soul.
He can invoke the power of the Eye of Truth Slate at any time, and the tablet itself seems to be in some kind of alien space and will only appear after he invokes the power, so he does not need to clear a storage space to carry this thing with him.
This stone slab is equivalent to becoming a 'bound equipment' that does not occupy a storage space.
However, when he was carving the magic circle just now, he also noticed that the magic circle inside the stone slab would have a natural tendency to 'repair'.
In other words, if he leaves it alone, the control circle he created will be automatically erased, so he needs to strengthen the control circle every once in a while.
The power of the Eye of Truth Slate is very pure. It allows He Ao to 'peep' into the most essential 'composition' of the world, and then 'deconstruct' the 'truth' that constitutes the world.
This kind of 'deconstruction' is not a deconstruction of thinking or words, but a deconstruction in a physical sense.
He can directly operate on all matter, deconstruct it into its most basic particles, and 'erase' it from the world.
Of course, 'particles' are not the end of deconstruction. When necessary, the Eye of Truth can also directly deconstruct matter into the energy that constitutes matter.
Well, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are a way to release energy through the loss of mass, so in a sense, this ability can also be understood as rubbing a nuclear bomb with your hands to see who explodes.
However, to directly deconstruct mass into energy, even if it is only to deconstruct a small part of the colloidal 'bound mass' between quarks that is easiest to deconstruct, the power loss is huge, so under normal circumstances, He Ao will not use it.
The eye of truth comes to rub the nuclear bomb.
In terms of the difficulty of 'deconstruction', it takes more power to deconstruct extraordinary beings than to deconstruct ordinary people, and it is more difficult to deconstruct intelligent life than ordinary life and higher than non-life.
In addition to 'deconstruction', in an environment rich in extraordinary power, He Ao can also control the extraordinary power around him and launch powerful attacks in a short period of time.
Of course, in addition to its destructive ability, the Eye of Truth's 'peeping' into the underlying deconstruction of the world is also an ability in itself.
And those who hold the eye of truth will naturally attract the ‘worship’ of those who pursue the truth.
However, judging from the birth situation of this Eye of Truth Slate, this kind of worship should easily deteriorate.
Moreover, although the Eye of Truth is strong, it also takes a great toll on the body.
Since the Eye of Truth essentially has no entity, when the Eye of Truth releases its power, it needs to use the body of the controller as the medium.
He Ao had just briefly 'activated' the Eye of Truth while turning on his super memory, and it almost caused his entire body to collapse.
He didn't know what kind of effect he would have if he fully used the power of the Eye of Truth, but he probably wouldn't feel comfortable. The body's collapse speed would most likely exceed his expectations, and he might even collapse directly.
In a sense, this is also a prop that exchanges life for strength.
However, judging from his experience in inheriting the incomplete angel-level power of the God of War in the dungeon world, improving physical fitness may help to withstand more power and extend the use time.
Except for Super Memory, his martial arts and physical talent sequences are all C-level, which is indeed a bit too weak for angel-level items.
Without turning on super memory, he can't even 'awaken' the Eye of Truth.
However, with the help of the connection with the Eye of Truth, he can also 'see clearly' some of the underlying structures of the world, and the effect is slightly better than that of the 'Secret Viewer', which is probably similar to the Eye of Digestion that does not have the ability to 'digest'.
The price is that the pollution from the Eye of Truth is constantly echoing in his mind.
But it had long been like a hodgepodge in his mind, and he was used to it.
After the pollution of the Eye of Truth came, the pollution of the blood-moistening jade pendant that originally occupied the dominant position quieted down and shrank into a corner.
Judging from the ability structure of the Eye of Truth, the ability to gather extraordinary power is a bit like the "bloody blazing light", the ability to attract worship is a bit like the "witch's mask", and the ability to spy on the truth is a bit like the "incomplete truth machine".
The system does try to find a reward that is related to the main elements of the three items.
The 'incomplete truth machine' should be the core of all elements here. If it were not for its existence and the connection between good friends, the system should not be able to produce high-level items such as the Eye of Truth, which are strongly related to gods.
And the ‘Incomplete Truth Machine’ was obtained through the ‘Disobedient God’ achievement. It seems that the effect of ‘Disobedient God’ was not wasted.
In any case, with the Eye of Truth on his body, he is truly capable of fighting when facing the projections of angels and even gods.
Taking a deep breath, He Ao looked back to the center of his field of vision.
There is still a line of subtitles lit there at the moment.
[Since your first comprehensive mission evaluation has reached five stars, congratulations on triggering the super advanced mission]
[Current advancement progress: 5/25]
Advanced mission, where will you advance this time?
He Ao glanced at the character card interface. The task was settled with 5 redemption stars, and the 'almost' achievement rewarded 1 redemption star. There were 5 redemption stars in total. The overall evaluation was calculated based on 5 stars.
5. Is it the sum of the redemption stars obtained and the comprehensive evaluation?
The subtitles in his field of vision gradually faded, and He Ao glanced at the countdown in the corner.
158:57:31.
He stayed in the dungeon for almost eight days, eight hours in the main world, and just spent another hour. Was the waiting time for the dungeon this time also seven days?
After more than nine hours, the sky was now filled with dots of red light.
He raised his hand, glanced at the bloody palm, and walked into the bathroom.

Alano
The time difference between here and Ruodan, where He Ao's body is located, is nearly half a day, and it is the twilight of the sun at this moment.
The clone of He Ao's Hao Yi just sat on the beach and threw the fishhook into the sea.
"Lord Hu Wen!"
A hoarse cry came from behind him.
His deputy in the Dawn Organization of the main world, Nordin, ran up to him and raised his cell phone, "Chief, the leader is looking for you."
He Ao glanced at the phone, then at the fish float, and said slowly, "Good evening, leader."
"Good evening,"
An old man's old voice came over the phone, "Bad news, my second brother is dead."
"That incident in Newland City State?"
He Ao asked in a slightly lower voice.
"Yes,"
The old man said quickly, "Lao Er's side doesn't have many living people on hand, so it can't be managed well. Xi Tu will give you half for the time being, and double the last price."
His words were urgent, as if he was busy with something.
He Ao heard the urgency of his words and did not answer immediately. Instead, he paused for a moment, then moved the fishing rod and said slowly, "Twice."
"One point and a half times, no more,"
The old man quickly replied, "If you can't do it, I'll find someone else."
"One point seven times, ready to be settled with gold bars."
He Ao's tone was calm and he continued to speak.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and after a brief breath, he slowly said, "Deal, I'll have someone deliver the gold bars to you the day after tomorrow."
Then, the other party hung up the phone.
Nordin stared at He Ao tremblingly.
He Ao turned the fishing reel and stared at the sea slowly, "So, am I now the leader of Liming Er?"
"Yes, apart from the leader, your territory is the largest."
Nordin said quickly.
"It's so fast."
He Ao's eyes drifted forward, and the fishing line rippled leisurely under the sunset.
I wrote too much, it will be a little later.

I recommend a friend's book "Unlimited Naruto" and a book by an old author named Wan Ding. Friends who are interested can read it.
When the whole world understands the timeline.
I am the savior and also the devil.
Some people held me high, while others wanted to kill me.
