Chapter 341 The Eye of God
Upon hearing the salesperson's words, Yu Zhun paused for a moment, then understood.

"Can the senior see our strategy progress?"

"Of course." The sales clerk nodded. "Watching guides and tutorials is one of the few pleasures we sales clerks have."

"But don't worry, we only have the right to watch, not the right to interfere." The salesperson shrugged. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting idly by while you help the God of Truth revive the world."

“Speaking of which…” the sales clerk sighed, “I thought being a sales clerk in the God and Demon Shop was one of the few secure jobs in the God and Demon Palace, but I never expected that even this secure job could be smashed one day.”

"You are the last customers of this God and Demon Shop."

"I'm really sorry about that." Yu Zhun smiled helplessly.

Although he had helped Yora revive the world before, [Under the Dragon Burial City] was only a Lv20 dungeon and did not have anything like a God and Demon Shop, so he was unaware of this.

Of course, even knowing that, he would still do it.

"How should I address you, senior?" Yu Zhun asked casually, turning his attention back to the sales clerk in front of him.

“Red Owl Demon General,” the other party said calmly.

Upon hearing this title, Yu Zhun and the others were all taken aback.

This was the first time they had ever heard a salesperson in the God and Demon Shop use a name other than a code name.

However, Yu Zhun soon seemed to understand something, "Is it because this God and Demon Shop is about to close down, and you are no longer a salesperson?"

“That’s one reason,” the Red Owl Demon General said calmly. “As for the other reason…”

As he spoke, His gaze swept over the scarlet lines on the back of Yu Zhun's right hand, almost imperceptibly.

Yu Zhun immediately understood.

This Crimson Owl Demon General may be related to the Crimson Demon Lord.

"Pick whatever you want to buy."

Without giving Yu Zhun another chance to ask questions, Red Owl Demon General casually said, "The store is going out of business, clearance sale, everything is 90% off."

Yu Zhun and his group of five: "..."

Oh no, this is a real clearance sale.

Although a 90% discount sounds tempting, there's nothing particularly valuable in this God and Demon Shop. The most valuable item is a [Moment of Ruins] priced at 15,000 medals, with effects similar to the [Heart of Death] sold in the previous God and Demon Shop.

It would be foolish not to take advantage of a bargain. With this discount, Yu Zhun and his group of five bought all the items for sale, regardless of whether they were useful or not.

After all that, I saved at least 100,000 God and Demon Medals.

However, Yu Zhun and the others were well aware that there probably wouldn't be a next time.

After selling out, the Red Owl Demon General seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He removed his gold and black mask, revealing a slightly gloomy face beneath it.

"From now on, there will be no more Demon 1492."

Then, He looked at Yu Zhun and the other four and laughed, “If you don’t buy the stuff, I’ll have to buy the rest of the junk myself.”

Yu Zhun and his group of five: "..."

What I'm saying is, although these items are indeed meaningless to a third-tier powerhouse, we just paid for them, is it appropriate for you to say this?

Seemingly realizing he had gone too far, Red Owl Demon General showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, his smile became even more arrogant.

"We've sold out, aren't you leaving yet?"

As he spoke, the Red Owl Demon General unleashed an astonishing aura of malevolence, making everyone feel as if they had instantly fallen into a demon's abyss.

The moment the mask was removed, the Crimson Owl Demon General was no longer a salesperson, but a powerful third-stage demon!
Faced with this terrifying aura, Lu Wen and the other three's expressions changed simultaneously, but Yu Zhun remained calm and spoke helplessly.

"Senior, you have a rather perverse sense of humor."

The other party had already seen the mark left by the Crimson Demon Lord on his body, and there was also a divine son of the Fourth Divine District among the five of them.

If Red Owl Demon General really dares to make a move, Yu Zhun respects him as a true man.

"Hehe..." Red Owl Demon General chuckled and withdrew his aura, "You're really shrewd, kid."

"Tell me, what is your purpose in staying?"

"Two things," Yu Zhun said with an unchanged smile. "First, we need your help to appraise our treasure."

"This junior is not good at recognizing what this is."

Then he took out what Jonah had finally given them.

It was a golden eyeball, surging with an inexplicable aura. If you looked closely at the eyeball, you could see countless complex and mysterious patterns appearing and disappearing.

"You can't recognize him?" Red Owl Demon General couldn't help but glance at Yu Zhun. "If you can't recognize him, why did you let Jonah bear the [Divine Blood and Bones]?"

Even the other four people looked at Yu Zhun with strange eyes.

They all assumed that Yu Zhun recognized what it was.

Yu Zhun smiled helplessly, "I really don't know much about antiques, but..."

"I understand people's hearts."

He was certain that in that final moment, Jonah had given up everything he could.

Red Owl Demon General gave Yu Zhun a deep look, "One thousand medals, I'll tell you what they are and how to use them."

“Okay.” Yu Zhun chuckled and took out a thousand God and Demon Medals, while casually dissing a certain Demon Lord, “Senior, your offer is much fairer than Opelli’s.”

Upon hearing Yu Zhun address the Crimson Demon Lord by his name, the Crimson Owl Demon General's lips twitched violently, and a complex mix of emotions welled up within him.

Who exactly is this young man from?

"This is the Eye of the Gods." The Crimson Owl Demon General accepted the medal and calmly asked, "Have you ever heard of the Realm of True Self?"

"It's related to the Realm of True Self?" Helmod couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"No, it doesn't matter."

Helmod: "..."

"The Realm of True Self is nothing more than a special state of enlightenment, which allows one to temporarily see a certain possibility of the future, thereby helping him to better embark on the path of the future," the Red Owl Demon General said disdainfully.

"How can it be compared to the Eye of God?"

"The Eye of the Gods is a supreme treasure," the Crimson Owl Demon General said slowly. "Using it will allow you to enter the world of the Third Transformation."

Entering the world of third job advancement ahead of schedule?!
"Senior, when you say this world, do you mean the world in the literal sense?" Yu Zhun couldn't help but ask. "Do third-tier powerhouses have a separate world that belongs exclusively to them?"

"Yes and no." Red Owl Demon General looked at Yu Zhun and the other five with a smile. "There was once a mysterious powerhouse who created a virtual world platform that did not exist in reality, for cross-domain communication."

"It is built on the foundation of twelve 5A-level dungeons."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun and the other four widened their eyes simultaneously.

A virtual world constructed using twelve 5A-level dungeons?!

Such a powerful figure is at least at the level of the master of the God and Demon Palace, and may even be higher!

"Any living being, in any location, can enter that virtual world as long as it has a pass to do so."

"It's similar to when you enter the world of divine revelation, where you can communicate with other powerful individuals who have entered that virtual world."

"As for the pass..." Red Owl Demon General pointed to the Eye of God in Yu Zhun's hand, "It's this one."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun and the others were instantly moved.

So, they obtained the pass to enter that virtual world?
Seeing the changes in Yu Zhun and the others' expressions, Red Owl Demon General spoke with a half-smile, "However..." "I advise you not to go in now."

"From my description just now, you should be able to understand what kind of beings are qualified to enter here."

Yu Zhun quickly calmed down, his expression slightly darkening. "Could it be that they're all at the third rank..."

"No, no, no." Red Owl Demon General shook his head. "In the lineage of the God and Demon Palace, only those who have reached the seventh level of divine transformation or above can obtain the Eye of Gods."

"Below the seventh dan, it all depends on individual fate."

"If one can obtain the Eye of the Gods through other means, one can naturally enter; if one cannot obtain it, one cannot enter."

"But in short... there are almost no people below the third rank there."

Yu Zhun nodded knowingly.

It seems that the Eye of God is even more important than he imagined, but at this stage, it is not suitable for them to use it.

It's easy to imagine that someone as weak as them would be completely ignored by any powerful being if they entered that virtual world.

They exchanged glances and silently put away the Eyes of the Gods.

The purpose of this treasure is not in the present, but after the third transformation, it will allow them to enter that virtual world, thus giving them a higher starting point than other third-transformation experts.

"Tell me your second matter," the Red Owl Demon General said calmly.

“Good.” A hint of anticipation appeared in Yu Zhun’s eyes. “Since we can see inside the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods] from here, we should also be able to see the process of the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods] transforming back into the world, right?”

"What price must I pay to even see it?"
-
Blue Star, the Temple of Divine Revelation.

Seeing the notification that the World God and Demon Medal had been credited to his account, Zhu Xiuming smiled slightly. "It seems Yu Zhun's strategy is over."

"Judging from the God and Demon Medals, it should be a perfect strategy."

"He can even perfectly clear level 80 dungeons..." Zhu Xiuming sighed as he spoke, a strange look on his face.

"It seems like we, the older generation, have already been overtaken."

However, this is also a good thing.

Once upon a time, Blue Star was led by their nine strongest leaders, and everyone relied on them to move forward. This heavy responsibility brought them a respected status, but it was also so heavy that they never dared to relax even a little, for fear of disappointing the expectations of those around them.

Now, with the sudden rise of Yu Zhun and his sister, the burden on their shoulders is becoming lighter and lighter.

Take the Guardian incident for example. If Yu Zhun hadn't brought back the Monster Egg, it's hard to say what would have become of Blue Star.

“Perhaps it’s time for us to lay down our burdens.” Zhu Xiuming said, standing up and walking to the shelf behind him, taking out a box of tea that had been sealed away for many years and was covered in dust.

“In the future, I can also be like Ruoxu, drinking tea and playing with my grandchildren when I have nothing to do... Oh, I don’t have any, then it’s okay.”

Zhu Xiuming sighed and awkwardly began brewing tea.

"Clang-crack-"

Ji Ruoxu suddenly pushed open the door and rushed to Zhu Xiuming.

"Boss, something happened!"

"Ruoxu, calm down." Zhu Xiuming patted Ji Ruoxu on the shoulder and chuckled. "What's the matter? Have some tea and talk slowly."

As he spoke, he handed the freshly brewed tea to Ji Ruoxu.

Ji Ruoxu reached out and took it, drinking it all in one gulp. "Finished drinking? Now you can talk, right?"

"Go ahead and tell me," Zhu Xiuming said helplessly, picking up his teacup and taking a slow sip, intending to hear what had made Ji Ruoxu so excited...

"The [Forbidden Ruins] dungeon is gone."

"Pfft—cough cough…" Zhu Xiuming suddenly covered his mouth, then looked at Ji Ruoxu in disbelief, "Gone?"

"What do you mean 'gone'?!"

“It’s just that…” Ji Ruoxu’s expression was somewhat strange, “Just like the [Beneath the Dragon Burial City] instance back then, the instance is gone.”

[Beneath the Dragon City]...

Jora's world?
Zhu Xiuming's expression instantly became fascinating.

Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu had just finished clearing the [Forbidden Ruins of Gods] dungeon, and now the dungeon is gone. Who else could have done it?

After a moment of silence, Ji Ruoxu coughed lightly, "On the bright side, maybe we can gain another third-tier ally?"

“I’m afraid we can’t think of anything right now.” Ji Ruoxu’s expression became complicated. “Just now, the First God Zone issued a server-wide announcement, stating that server 93, which corresponds to the [Forbidden Ruins of Gods], has been revived, and the identity of the player who revived it has been revealed.”

"Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu are up there."

"Now, all the servers know that we did it."

"No..." Zhu Xiuming was somewhat confused, "How is this related to the First God District?"

"I only found out today that the original world of the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods] was turned into a dungeon because it offended the First God Zone," Ji Ruoxu said, covering his face in anguish. "And now, Yu Zhun and the others have revived it..."

Zhu Xiuming placed the tea leaves back on the upper shelf without any expression.

It seems he won't be able to drink this tea anytime soon.
-
The First Divine Zone, the Highest Hall.

Ji Chen knelt on the ground, his body covered with deep, gruesome scars that revealed his bones, and his internal organs were even clearly visible through the wounds.

Such a horrific injury, if not treated promptly, could easily take a person's life, but Ji Chen remained kneeling, not daring to move an inch, letting the blood almost drain away.

This is the third time.

The voice, as powerful as the heavens, echoed throughout the entire hall. Unlike its usual indifference, this voice carried an unmistakable rage, causing anyone who heard it to tremble uncontrollably.

That was the wrath of a god, standing at the pinnacle of the ninth level of divine transformation!

"Ji Chen, what qualifications do you have to become the strongest divine son of my First Divine District?"

“I…” Ji Chen’s eyes flickered with the last glimmer of light, and his voice, barely audible, drifted away, “I am not qualified.”

"Lord Demon, do with me as you please."

The moment Ji Chen learned that the [Forbidden Ruins of Gods] had been revived, he knew that he had completely lost his last chance.

Having disappointed the Demon Lord three times in a row, his fate was predictable.

For him, death may be the final end.

Looking back now, he couldn't even handle a player from the Godless Zone. How laughable his former high spirits and those petty schemes to replace the Demon Lord were.

"Kill? Torture?"

The Demon Lord's cold laughter echoed rapidly in the hall, "Ji Chen, death is nothing more than the lightest punishment for you."

"Enter the Abyss."

"No..." A deep fear welled up in Ji Chen's eyes, as if it were something more terrifying than death. "No..."

A dark current swept in, and countless desperate cries and deathly silence completely enveloped him.

The next instant, Ji Chen's body disappeared from the main hall.

After a long while, sounds began to echo again in the hall.

"My most promising clone is not even as good as an ant?"

"I want to see just how good those ants are."
