Life Dungeon Game

He raised his hand and looked at his palm.

As the system text gradually faded, no rewards appeared in his hand as before.

However, in a very short time, he realized what was going on.

He slowly turned his head around.

Behind him, above his head, a huge, bloodshot eye was staring at him.

The eye was embedded in an inverted triangle carved into an orange-gray stone slab.

The inverted triangle with an embedded eye is the structure of the Eye of Truth.

However, the 'Eye of Truth' commonly used by wizards is a tightly closed eye.

The one in front of He Ao was an open, fleshy eye.

The instant He Ao stared at those fleshy eyes, endless pollution exploded in his mind.

The whole world unfolded before his eyes like a distorted scroll in that instant.

A series of magnificent hymns echoed in his mind, leading him to the other side of ultimate truth.

Blood oozed from beneath his skin, but he remained unmoved. He reached out and grasped the stone slab with the eye embedded in it, which was suspended in mid-air.

In that instant, an even more intense wave of pollution erupted in his mind.

In an instant, he lost all vision; his dark pupils lost focus, and the whole world turned pitch black, leaving only twisted lines that seemed to have no thickness.

This is at least angelic level pollution.

Moreover, the 'world' seen through this pollution is somewhat like the 'vision of truth' seen through the Eye of Elimination.

A thought flashed through his mind, and He Ao directly used his divine sense to penetrate the stone slab along his palm.

Twisted lines unfolded in his mind; the stone slab was not as 'simple' as it appeared on the surface.

Countless fine lines rippled through He Ao's mind.

This stone slab is not actually 'carved' on stone, but rather 'magic array' outlined by solidified forces.

This massive magic array together forms a 'cage', imprisoning that fleshy 'eye' within it.

Under the 'vision' of divine sense, those distorted and terrifying fleshy eyes had no 'physical form' at all, as if they had never existed.

Rather than being a physical object or energy, this eye is more like a 'concept' of a higher level.

The 'magic circle' that forms the stone slab is the power that 'imprisons' and 'embodies' the concept.

At that moment, He Ao instantly understood that the system's item description just now was not a direct statement of the origin of the 'Eye of Truth Tablet,' but rather a veiled 'allegory.'

I'll update as early as possible tomorrow, let me sort out the plot.

Chapter 849 The Eye of Truth (Mega Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The system's overall story introduction actually has a narrative subject, namely the group of wizards who sealed the 'eyes'.

From the perspective of this narrative subject, the group of wizards seem to be pure victims. They discover that they are being chased by eyes, then try to carve out the eyes to get rid of the chase, and then are discovered by the eyes behind other wizards.

But what if these wizards weren't just victims?

What if the 'wizard' was the one in control throughout the story?

Indeed, the Eye of Truth will pursue wizards who seek the truth, so some daring wizards want to capture the Eye of Truth that follows them.

They shared the plan with other wizards, but it wasn't accepted, so they decided to do it themselves.

The 'wise men' in the story could refer to their collective wisdom, or it could refer to a hidden entity that has infiltrated them, or it could be both.

Ultimately, they succeeded, 'materializing' and 'sealing' the entire Eye of Truth through the 'stone slab array'.

This explains why the 'carved' stone slab in the story is actually a concrete sealing array in reality.

At the end of the story, the 'Eye of Truth' behind the other wizards 'saw' this group of daring wizards.

Perhaps this is an implication that 'truth' has discovered their actions.

This can be connected to the system's first prompt: "But when you steal the power of truth, the eyes of truth may be looking at you."

In this connection, the 'eye of truth' before us is very likely to come from the 'power of truth'.

As for why the system tells such a cryptic 'allegory', He Ao is more inclined to believe that it may originally be a legend related to the 'Slate of Truth'.

After all, the system's previous extraordinary items had many "descriptions" that were "supposedly" or "legendary," so the content following "please note" is the system's real prompt.

The creation of a certain fable could be a slip of the tongue by the disseminator, or it could be a deliberate attempt to cover up 'something'.

For example, the system prompt says, "Knowledge is the bridge, cognition is the connection." Perhaps as long as we talk about or mention the true origin of the "Eye of Truth Slab," it will be perceived by the "truth" hidden outside of time and space.

Therefore, those who spread the story deliberately 'distorted' the origin of the Eye of Truth tablet in order to hinder the perception of 'truth' as ​​much as possible.

As his thoughts raced, He Ao's divine sense had already penetrated to the deepest part of the stone slab.

Feeling his divine sense rapidly depleting, he grasped the blood-stained jade pendant hanging on his chest and simultaneously infused it with his divine sense.

Noise, chaos, distortion.

A madness, as if tearing his brain apart, erupted in He Ao's mind.

This contamination originated from inside the jade pendant.

At the same time, He Ao felt his perspective gradually 'detach', and the whole world unfolded in his eyes in another form.

He immediately shifted his gaze to the stone slab that sealed the Eye of Truth.

At that instant, the 'Eye of Truth' in the sky also shifted its perspective and looked at 'him'.

When Heo used the power of the 'Jade Pendant' to peer into the Eye of Truth and the Stone Tablet, the power of the Eye of Truth seemed to have been provoked and quickly responded with a counterattack.

boom--

Like a thunderclap exploding in his mind, blood gushed from He Ao's eyes, earlobes, nostrils, and mouth.

At the same time, the rumbling thunder in his mind continued to intensify.

Multiple layers of pollution created a chaotic symphony in He Ao's mind, but his actions did not stop at all.

The main function of the jade pendant is to increase 'comprehension'. Although it is best used for studying martial arts, it is also good for studying other things.

For example, this densely packed 'stone slab array'.

Under the influence of the jade pendant, the complex and heavy stone slab formation finally unfolded in his field of vision.

A violent wave of dizziness struck He Ao's mind almost the instant the magic circle was deployed.

In that instant, he activated his super memory, 'memorizing' all these complex magic arrays.

The complexity of this stone slab formation far exceeded He Ao's comprehension.

It's like an elementary school student opening a calculus book. Even though he has extremely high comprehension with the help of the jade pendant, many things in it are beyond the scope of 'comprehension' he can understand. He is far behind in terms of knowledge.

However, he doesn't intend to fully understand these magic arrays right now.

All he wanted to do was write his name on this 'advanced mathematics book' and engrave his 'control array'.

Even so, it is not an easy task.

The raging pollution was like countless strong men holding his hands, preventing him from moving.

The divine sense he used as a 'pen' was not a light fountain pen, but a soft wooden stick.

If he can't find a suitable spot, he won't even be able to leave a trace on the magic circle.

He initially tried to leave traces at some 'connection points', but the power of his divine sense was completely unable to alter these connection points even slightly.

The violent pollution kept assaulting He Ao's mind, but he calmed down and searched little by little for places where the magic arrays could leave 'traces'.

As he searched, he also gradually 'learned' about the magic array. Although he still couldn't understand some of the more complex aspects, he understood the simpler things, such as the interconnectivity between different magic arrays.

So he slowly found some simple 'edge magic arrays'. The 'function' of these magic arrays did not seem to be crucial. Some were even 'decorative patterns' used to beautify the entire magic array structure.

These magic arrays are not structurally robust. Under the influence of divine sense, they can shift slightly. He Ao gradually pieced together the prototype of a magic array by constantly shifting his divine sense.

As time passed, his back was soaked with blood, and his entire face was covered in blood.

His eyes were unfocused, and his pupils appeared to be drawn on.

The pollution in his mind grew stronger and stronger, and the overflowing pollution even began to erode his body.

Even so, his movements did not stop at all, until the huge and complicated control array finally took shape in his 'vision', until the last stroke of the 'K' symbol was outlined.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The control array formed by the converging elements appeared on the 'surface' of the stone slab, emitting a faint glow.

At this moment, He Ao's divine sense was also completely drained.

His consciousness withdrew from the amplification of his understanding from the 'jade pendant' and returned to his own body, whereupon a violent sense of exhaustion surged up almost instantly.

In that instant, the 'Eye of Truth' slab in the sky shattered into countless orange-gray rays of light, which instantly flowed into Heo's body.

An even more terrifying pollution exploded in He Ao's mind.

A sensation of his flesh being torn apart from the inside out entered He Ao's mind. In that instant, his body tensed and his eyes closed.

Countless strange and scattered forces filled He Ao's body, and thin cracks spread from his cheeks, his palms, his arms, and his back, as if they were about to open eyes.

The power of hypermemory erupted in that instant, forcibly suppressing these forces and bringing them together.

The cracks receded like the tide, and intense pain tugged at the young man's body. He slowly straightened up, opened his arms, until all the power gathered together.

boom-

Those tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and deep within those dark pupils, two nested orange-gray concentric rings lit up at the same time, as if another eye had opened within the eyes.

At the same time, behind He Ao's head, a huge, illusory eye nested within an inverted triangle emerged from the void and slowly opened.

The whole world seemed to have changed color, and countless threads of truth were intertwined, becoming everything in He's vision.

He looked up at one of the two bottles of water on the table.

As his gaze swept across the bottle, the entire bottle of water vanished from the world in an instant, as if erased by an eraser.

He turned his gaze to the wall beside him.

The street, streetlights, and sky outside the wall all appeared in his 'field of vision' at the same time.
