This isn't a souls-like game at all.

It's called maintenance, but in fact it's just a few small techniques for removing dust and maintenance, and by the way, I'm teaching him how to use this tool.

Although it was the first time for the old blacksmith to see this thing, it did not prevent him from quickly figuring out how to use this tool.

For craftsmen, using and making tools is almost an instinct engraved deep in their souls.

"I hope this thing is useful to you."

Ye Yiyi muttered softly and waved his hand to cast a ray of clear light.

Then the magic of "sublimation of magic power" was activated, the crystal that wrapped Baoxia also dissipated, and the stopped time began to flow again for the other party.

“Ah! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!”

So Baoxia covered her eyes again and screamed miserably.

At the same time, a large number of scarlet lines appeared on the surface of his skin, like dilated blood vessels, spreading all the way towards his eyebrows and eyes.

"Stop yelling, just bear with it."

Ye Yiyi installed an "eye" symbol inscription on the branding tool, then helped the other person up, unfolded the tool, and nested it on the other person's head.

"To be honest, this thing really does look like a wine opener when it's unfolded..."

And Baoxia's forehead is the cork into which the corkscrew is to be inserted.

"Roar!!"

The transformation process accelerated. Bao Xia suddenly lowered his hands and let out a roar that was not like a human voice. His cheeks, covered with blood-red lines, looked ferocious and enchanting, with an extremely dangerous beauty.

"Don't make any noise!"

Ye Yiyi raised his hand and slapped the other person on the forehead.

"Roar?"

The slap stunned Bao Xia, and taking this opportunity, Ye Yiyi suddenly turned the mechanism.

"Click!!"

The sound of an inscription breaking suddenly rang out. Bao Xia's body froze, his blood-red eyes suddenly rolled upwards, and the blood-colored lines all over his body disappeared.

"It seems to be successful."

He took off the branding tool and watched Bao Xia close his eyes and breathe evenly, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. Only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief and put away the branding tool.

"Performing a branding will completely consume an inscription. It seems I'd better exchange inscriptions at the Holy Monument from now on."

After doing all this, he sat cross-legged in front of the holy monument again and checked the power he had gained in exchange for the resonance of the true spirit of the eye whiskers.

What was slightly beyond Ye Yiyi's expectations was that the echo of the Eyebeard Watcher could be exchanged for a total of three items.

They are an "inscription", a bone sword with flesh tentacles all over its surface, a scarlet eyeball on the hilt, and a strange magic.

"I didn't expect this thing to drop inscriptions. So, is there any difference between the inscriptions obtained from the echo and the rune inscriptions from the Eye?"

He opened the inventory in the light curtain and checked the newly acquired inscription.

The light curtain then popped out.

[Inscription of the All-Seeing Eye]

Chapter 616 Crazy.

[Inscription of the All-Seeing Eye]

Item Description: A sacred inscription symbolizing the "Superior" who watches over the Eye.

It also symbolizes the sacred idol given the name of the "All-Seeing Eye".

Through the sacred symbolic meaning, one can greatly enhance observation and comprehension.

At the same time, it can highlight the special and extraordinary things in the eyes.

An eye-tendril parasite born from the abyss of non-self, existing as the entity of "eye".

They are the offspring of the invisible superior—the one who creates meaning through the public’s vision.

When the offspring no longer perform the function of eyes.

It becomes meaningless, leaving only an empty shell.

And in the faith and worship of the knights.

The empty shell was given a new meaning and became a new superior.

This is true even if that "omniscience" is in name only.

"Empty shell..."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since the public view observes the world through the external eyes of its descendants, it means that the eye whiskers of the descendants are essentially just a movable camera.

So, is it necessary for the public to give a group of cameras their own will?

The answer is of course no. Although the eye whiskers are called "offspring", they are not life, nor do they have intellect or wisdom.

Because they themselves are the physical embodiment of the universal vision in the mortal world.

The reason why invisible superiors are "invisible" is that they themselves have no entity.

But without an actual entity, there is no such thing as "observation".

Thus, a "descendant" named "Yanxu" was born.

When the Curse of Stagnation struck and the Eyebeard Watcher was forced to lose contact with the group of eyes, he changed from the incarnation of the public vision to a very unique individual.

Afterwards, in order to protect itself, this individual hid in a workshop without sunlight, and in the loneliness of being away from the main group for thousands of years, it chose to "end its own life".

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi suddenly understood the true meaning of Alice's last words.

After He abandoned the meaning of His existence and became an empty shell with only the external appearance left, the Eyebeard Watcher could no longer be called the Eyebeard Watcher.

But in his flesh and blood, which had become an empty shell, he still possessed a part of the essence and mystery of the Supreme Being.

Later, the expedition team of the Holy Elephant Knight and the Lone Kiss Knight arrived deep in the workshop and found this place, where they discovered the Eyewhisker Parasite that had turned into an empty shell.

"So, that tower of flesh and blood in the center of the magma pool might be the Eyebeard's true form?"

Later, some of the Knights of the Holy Elephant mistook the empty shell of the Eyebeard for the sacred existence of the "Eye of All-Seeing".

Therefore, after being filled with the faith of the Holy Elephant Knights, new meaning was given to the empty shell.

The one who monitors the Eye becomes a new superior being called the "All-Seeing Eye".

Perhaps this is why the inscription Ye Yiyi obtained from the echo was named "Eye of All-Seeing".

Instead of calling it "eye beard" or "public vision".

In the final analysis, this guy has nothing to do with the public's vision, but is a god and superior created by human faith.

"This is really..."

After roughly figuring out the whole story, Ye Yiyi suddenly didn't know how to comment.

The Holy Elephant Knights were overjoyed to have found the "All-Seeing Eye" they believed in, and naturally became its followers.

The eye-tissue parasite that turned into an empty shell also gained new meaning. It sensed the existence of the "eye group" from its dream, felt the so-called warmth, and became a new superior.

Although there are too many coincidences and misunderstandings here, generally speaking, it is a two-way journey, each getting what they need and achieving each other, so everyone is happy!

...If Ye Yiyi hadn't rushed in like a "revenge god", shouting "you bastard", and then killed everyone.

So this should be a perfect origin for a sect and a belief...right?

"Faith is such a magical thing..."

He couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to intelligence and mystery, he inexplicably felt that faith was the most real idealistic force in this world.

Even a superior who has lost his meaning and become an empty shell can be born as a new superior under the influence of faith.

Isn't this much different from creating a god based on imagination?

Unlike those artificial or armored cults and gods, the Holy Elephant Knights, in a sense, really created the Eye of All-Seeing.

Even if this "omniscience" is in name only, who dares to say that it will always be in vain?

"At least for now, this all-seeing eye is completely unqualified..."

This can be seen from the effects of the inscriptions.

"Greatly enhances observation and comprehension, and can also highlight special and unusual things."

Ye Yiyi pinched her chin, thinking that it was hard to say what the effect of the first half would be, but the effect of the second half was very "game-like".

Most of the games he has played have similar icons that highlight things like "interaction points," "treasure chests," and "special resources."

Even in Souls-like games, where pick-up items are replaced with a "ball of light", they are highlighted similarly.

This is naturally done in the game to highlight important targets so that players don't miss valuable items and props.

If there is a similar function in reality, it would be much more convenient. At least Ye Yiyi would not have to touch many complicated items one by one to see if there is any light curtain popping out.

"Just try it later."

After removing the inscription from the Strangler Armor and equipping it with the inscription of the All-Seeing Eye, he proceeded to check the other items.

In addition to the inscription, the Echo of the True Spirit also grants a weapon with an extremely special appearance.

Ye Yiyi reached back and pulled out a one-meter-three-meter-long sword made of flesh and bone from behind.

The appearance of this sword is extremely primitive, with no traces of artificial polishing or casting, as if this bone wrapped in flesh was born like this.

"Compared to bones, this sword is actually more like a life."

Ye Yiyi gripped the slightly slippery hilt of the sword, his eyes sweeping over the thin fleshy tendrils wrapped around the joints, and finally looking at the tightly closed gap in the sword guard.

Judging from the icon in the inventory, there is a scarlet eyeball in the gap of the sword guard.

"It does smell like a demon sword."

Ye Yiyi thought so, and then looked at the light curtain.
