Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

As long as the Mirror of Time and Space doesn't forcibly kick him out of the dimensional space, Jia Long will continue to refresh various mirror images.

The mirror images of Hyacintosh, Callisto, the serpent god Piton, Tiamat (new), Triton, and even Esther, Ghost Shion, Radamanthys, and other god-level powerhouses.

Jia Long relentlessly exploited every single mirror image that had the potential to gain Alaya consciousness, determined to destroy them all.

Thanks to the rich and diverse mirror archives previously available.

In addition, there's the Star Dragon Burst, which is extremely efficient at farming gods.

There are resources.

There are tools.

Jia Long had a really good time this time.

I kept refreshing the page day and night.

Never-ending scrolling...

Two years later.

Jia Long finally cleared most of the mirror images within the Mirror of Time and Space, and gained a massive amount of insights into the Eighth Sense. With countless insights accumulating and constantly changing, Jia Long's understanding of the Eighth Sense has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The eighth consciousness, Alaya-vijnana, also known as the storehouse consciousness, is the origin of all things in the universe and contains the seeds of all phenomena.

A single thought gives rise to all phenomena; the arising of the seed of all phenomena is the seventh sense.

The seventh sense, obsession, is the spirit.

It is also the soul.

The eighth sense is the place where the seventh sense is contained. Under the protection of the eighth sense, one can transcend life and death and thus possess power that is almost divine.

It can be said that the eighth sense, Alaya consciousness, breaks down the barrier between humans and gods.

The description of the Eighth Sense in the comics is mysterious and esoteric. In reality, through constant practice, Jia Long discovers that all the insights about the Eighth Sense in the mirror images require doing one thing... a microcosmic rebirth!

To put it scientifically, it's about destroying a microcosm.

By using the power accumulated at the peak of the seventh sense, or by borrowing external power, the old cosmos celestial bodies are destroyed, and a new cosmos celestial body is constructed centered on the natal constellation where the seventh sense's obsession resides. This is how Saint Seiya awakens the eighth sense.

It sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to succeed in doing it.

Because this is equivalent to a microcosm being destroyed and then rebuilt.

It is also a rebirth of life.

It is difficult to achieve both. Even Shaka in the manga could not do it. He could not destroy his own seventh sense cosmos with his own power. He finally completed the rebirth of his cosmos with the help of A.E., but lost his life because A.E. was too powerful.

In short, Shaka's awakening of his eighth sense was unsuccessful.

In contrast, the awakening of Dohko, Kanon, and the Bronze Saints in the manga was very successful, truly achieving a rebirth of their cosmos and lives. However, they relied on the power of the goddess Athena, which Shaka could not match.

Jia Long couldn't imitate him either.

Fortunately, Jia Long possesses the body of a dragon, making his vitality exceptionally strong. Moreover, he also possesses the power to destroy his own seven senses' microcosms, the power of the dragon bloodline.

He can totally do it himself!

But how can you make sure you do the right thing so that you don't accidentally kill yourself?

This is the problem Jia Long is facing.

This is also why, despite his profound understanding of the Eighth Sense, he has never attempted to awaken it.

He was waiting for the right opportunity.

Or rather, he was waiting for the second crack in the Mirror of Time and Space to be repaired. During this time, with the continuous farming of gods, only one of the eight god-level mirror images in the Mirror of Time and Space had not yet been destroyed.

As the cracks in the mirror gradually healed, Jia Long discovered that the connection between his consciousness and the mirror image of the Seven Senses was becoming increasingly close, and there was even a faint tendency for them to gradually merge into one. This gave Jia Long a bold idea.

If the second rift is repaired and one's consciousness can fuse with the power of the Seventh Sense Mirror Image, then the previously powerless consciousness will become completely different. Once the consciousness fuses with the 12 Gold Saint Mirror Images, it may even surpass one's own physical body in terms of pure power.

This way.

Jia Long could have chosen a different approach to do it himself, which would have been far safer and more controllable than him mobilizing two powers within one body to awaken his eighth sense in a near-suicidal manner.

"Speaking of which, my awakening is an evolved version of Shaka's awakening. The difference is that Shaka relied on Saga and two others to attack him, while I attacked myself. It combines the advantages of both the murdered and suicidal awakening methods, and can be called the safest awakening method known."

"But this method is so bizarre, I wonder if there is anyone else in the world who can do it like me?"

I went back to my hometown in Northeast China these past two days and brought my laptop with me. But even with 6GB of RAM, it's hard to browse the web. What could be the reason?

Chapter 408 Compassionate Father! Alaya Consciousness and Immersive Mirror (Part 2)

"Piton, take my final Star Dragon Explosion!"

Within dimensional space.

Jia Long's consciousness battles the Python God's mirror image.

As another Star Dragon blast blasted into Pi Tong's body, even the mighty Python God Pi Tong could not withstand the power of the implosion. His divine body exploded inch by inch from the inside out, and finally turned into the purest spacetime power, which was recycled by the Mirror of Spacetime.

"Phew, finally got this thing all over the place."

The consciousness of Jia Long, who had defeated Pi Tong's mirror image, was also extremely weak, but his face was filled with excitement and joy at defeating the powerful servant god.

Thankfully, there was Star Dragon Explosion.

Since mastering this super-powerful skill, Jia Long has rediscovered the exhilarating feeling he had when the Galactic Explosion was first formed, a feeling of impregnation that he could give anyone a good beating.

In terms of absolute power, the Star Dragon Explosion technique is inferior to A·E.

However, it is a rare implosion technique. Although the power of Star Dragon Explosion is not as great as Athena's Astound of Shadow Battle Technique, the damage it causes to various divine bodies is greater than that of Athena's Astound of External Explosion.

This is somewhat like shooting... in football; the consequences of shooting outside the goal and shooting inside the goal are completely different.

"I even destroyed the last God's Mirror Skin. This time, the second crack in the Mirror of Time should finally be repaired, right?"

As the image of Pi Tong was converted into pure energy and recycled, Jia Long stared intently at the changes in the Mirror of Time.

Sure enough, as soon as Pi Tong's energy entered the Mirror of Time and Space, the ancient mirror instantly shone with a dazzling divine light, and in no time, the entire dimensional space began to tremble violently.

Subsequently, Jia Long's consciousness was forcibly expelled from the dimensional space.

"Same as last time!"

As his consciousness returned to his body, Jia Long slowly opened his eyes. He wasn't surprised; the same thing had happened last time at Golden Dragon Manor.

This indicates that the Mirror of Time and Space has begun to repair its cracks. Once the repair is complete and his consciousness re-enters, the Mirror of Time and Space's abilities will inevitably be greatly enhanced.

Jia Long was filled with anticipation.

After all, his greatest reliance in safely comprehending the Eighth Sense was the Mirror of Time.

The Mirror of Time and Space didn't keep Jia Long waiting for long.

Less than an hour.

Jia Long's consciousness was able to re-enter the dimensional space, and at this time, the second crack on the surface of the Time Mirror standing in front of him had disappeared without a trace, making the entire mirror appear even more ancient and mysterious.

Of course that's not the point.

The key point is that Jia Long clearly felt that with this repair, the connection between his consciousness and the mirror became closer and closer. With just a thought, the images of the twelve Gold Saints inside the mirror would shoot out in all directions.

"It can summon them simultaneously now?"

A hint of surprise flickered in Jia Long's eyes. Although the change seemed small, merely a shift from summoning one by one to summoning simultaneously, in the heat of battle, such an evolution would be of immense help to Jia Long.

Another change.

Jia Long felt that he had gained more control over the mirror images of the twelve Gold Saints. Before, he could do it as easily as using his own limbs, but now, with the repair of the Mirror of Time, he felt that his consciousness and the mirror images he summoned had almost merged into one.

Or rather, these images are part of his consciousness.

Both are the same in terms of their source of power, originating from the spacetime power within the Mirror of Time and Space. If Jia Long is willing, the power within these mirror images can be completely integrated with his consciousness.

"Just as I imagined..."

Although Jia Long had already made a guess based on the progress of the mirror's repair, he still couldn't hide his surprise when the feeling of fusion actually appeared. With a thought, he issued a command to the summoned mirror image.

"Fusion!"

In a flash, the images of the twelve Gold Saints in the dimensional space transformed into streams of light and rushed towards Jia Long's consciousness, merging with it. In an instant, golden light burst forth, and Jia Long felt the power within his consciousness increase exponentially, even faintly feeling as if he had broken through the shackles of the peak of the seventh sense.

As Jia Long's consciousness attempted to ignite his cosmos, the phantom images of the twelve zodiac signs, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer, faintly appeared behind him. Through the mirror of time and space in front of him, Jia Long discovered that his current appearance was remarkably similar to Xing Xiaoqiang in the comics, who was possessed by his companion's cosmos.

"This is practically a solo version of the power of bonds!"

"Although I am still at the peak of the seventh sense, my cosmos power is more than ten times stronger than any other peak seventh sense fighter. At this moment, even if I face an eighth sense expert, even without using the Divine Dragon bloodline, I am confident that I can crush him in terms of absolute power!"

"So, in this state, am I capable of single-handedly radiating the light of justice?"

With eager anticipation, Jia Long swung his fist in the dimensional space. At this moment, even a simple punch from him brought up a huge beam of light, almost tearing space apart.

However, he still couldn't radiate the light of justice, and the reason was Deathmask. Because of this loser who hadn't awakened his seventh sense yet, the cosmos of the twelve Gold Saints couldn't form a fusion effect.

"Sigh, when will this middle-aged woman maniac finally wake up?"

Jia Long shook his head, his heart filled with helplessness.

Fortunately, although he is currently unable to fuse the powers of the twelve Gold Saints, he can still make his consciousness exceptionally powerful through the fusion function of the mirror image.

It's enough for him to awaken his eighth sense on his own. Moreover, in future battles, his consciousness will no longer be a useless thing, but a trump card that he can use to achieve unexpected victories.

This is the second change to the Mirror of Time.

The third and final change is that with the repair of the Mirror of Time and Space, the dimensional space has expanded significantly again. Moreover, it is no longer as dark and desolate as before; instead, the environment of the twin palaces where Jia Long's body is located has appeared around it.

Or rather, the dimensional space has become more empty. If Jia Long were to project it outward again, it would perfectly reflect the environment in which Jia Long is located, giving people the illusion of being there.

"To say 'immersive' would be more accurate than 'immersive in the scene.' If dimensional space could be projected outwards imperceptibly, it would be even more deceptive to opponents, making it impossible to defend against..."

The Immersive Mirror is probably the biggest evolution after the Mirror of Time and Space was repaired. When it is used, it can even give people a kind of illusion. However, this deceptive ability does not improve Jia Long's hard strength much, so he does not care too much about it.

After all, his dimensional space has always been nested within another dimension. Since another dimension cannot be projected outward invisibly, it is meaningless for a dimensional space to create a realistic illusion.

Putting aside the immersive experience, at this moment, what Jia Long cares about most is awakening his eighth sense!

Compared to awakening the Eighth Sense, everything else is secondary.

A thought came to mind.

Jia Long's true form emerged, facing off against the consciousness possessed by the power of the bond. At this moment, he was not wearing a divine armor, but was shirtless and wearing only a pair of tight pants, yet his blood was boiling and he was radiating an extremely powerful dragon power.

"Isn't it just doing something to yourself? Alaya-vijnana, here I come!"
