However, Jiang Ran did not regret it. This was his personality. Although he was usually calm and rational, he would not reject taking risks and taking a gamble when necessary.

So, Jiang Ran tried another way to test his ability. He closed his eyes and focused his attention on the concept of "Super-Dimensional Divine Eye". This time, something magical happened. Although it should have been pitch black when he closed his eyes, now he could see a large amount of text floating in his field of vision. Even after he opened his eyes, these words still existed.

(It's the same type of writing as on the parchment scroll. I haven't learned it, but I can understand it.)

Jiang Ran carefully read through the text. The text in his field of vision was roughly divided into two types. One type was description and identification text, such as the name "Teak" floating next to the tree, with the date and time displayed in the corner of his vision in real time. The other type was Jiang Ran's own status information. He could clearly see his name, attributes, and other information, including descriptions of his "Inherent Abilities" and "Soul Curse":

=====

=====

After reading the description of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye, Jiang Ran didn't want to read the "Soul Curse" part for the time being. His eyes now lingered on the sixth ability description of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye, and he decided to use the "Universal Stone" to predict his own death.

1.5 - Prigog Nissen

Jiang Ran looked at the Universal Stone in his hand, wondering how he should use it. Should he swallow it raw? Then the glass bead evaporated and vanished. At the same time, Jiang Ran saw the energy point of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye increase by one.

(I see.)

Whether it was the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye or the Universal Stone, the way these abilities and items were used gave Jiang Ran a natural feeling, just like using his own body. It was like breathing, walking, thinking. There was no need to think about how to control muscles and nerves; as long as the intention was there, the body would do it naturally.

Following this line of thought, Jiang Ran began to think about the concept of "obtaining information about the scene of his own death and generating photos". Then, at this moment, Jiang Ran heard a strange voice in his head.

(???: Huh…haha…it was a really long sleep~)

(??: I finally waited until you used your ability, Jiang Yan.)

Who is transmitting this voice directly into my head? Jiang Ran immediately glanced around vigilantly, and the voice in his head became even more cheerful.

(???: Pfft! Your reaction is so funny! Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter, hahahahaha!)

(???: Ha…ha…don't worry, Jiang Yan. There are no enemy prisms around. The one speaking to you is me, the Great Prism, the "Super-Dimensional Salty Eyes Prigok Nissen." You'd better remember this name~!)

It wasn't until he heard the other party claim to be the "Super-Dimensional Divine Eye" that Jiang Ran realized that the strange voice was coming from "within" his own body, and...

(Jiang Ran: Can you hear my inner thoughts?)

(Super Dimensional Divine Eye: That’s right, why don’t you just poke me? You realized it so quickly, you’re really teachable!)

There is no need to speak, Jiang Ran can communicate with this "Super-Dimensional Divine Eye" as long as he thinks in his mind, but this is a big trouble for Jiang Ran, because in this way he will have no secrets in front of this Super-Dimensional Divine Eye.

Things happened very suddenly and the problem was very serious. Jiang Ran's freedom of thinking was restricted this time. He had no choice but to give it a try.

(Jiang Ran: One, two, three... four, five, six...)

(Super-Dimensional Divine Eye: Huh? Why are you counting all of a sudden?)

(Jiang Ran: Nothing much, just practicing a conversation with you.)

However, Jiang Ran did not tell the truth.

Jiang Ran wasn't just counting in his head; he was also reciting "Jia Yi Bing Ding Wu Ji Geng Xin Ren Gui" in his head between counts. Based on the Trans-Dimensional Eye's reaction, Jiang Ran concluded that it only heard the numbers and nothing else. This meant that Jiang Ran's desperate "experiment" had succeeded. The principle behind this was that, for a few seconds, Jiang Ran had consciously incorporated some of his mental activities into his intention to prevent the Trans-Dimensional Eye from hearing. Then, while counting, he remained completely relaxed and unrestrained. Unexpectedly, the final result was exactly what he had hoped for: shielding the Trans-Dimensional Eye.

(The Super-Dimensional Divine Eye, Prigok Nissen, is a very smart person, extremely smart and invincible...), Jiang Ran continued to conduct experiments in his mind, but the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye still did not respond, so Jiang Ran felt a little relieved.

(Jiang Ran: So... you are the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye?)

(Super-Dimensional Divine Eye: Humph, no poking! From now on, I will protect you!)

(Jiang Ran: So, you and the god who transported me to this parallel world are not the same entity?)

(Super-Dimensional Divine Eye: Hmm? Of course not. This Daleng is this Daleng.)

The Super-Dimensional Divine Eye had completely failed to notice the hidden traps within Jiang Ran's simple question. Thanks to her straightforward response, Jiang Ran had resolved many of his doubts. He was now certain that there must be more than one being on the same level as the humanoid luminous body, and that the "abnormality" that occurred in the gray space was likely orchestrated. Consequently, Jiang Ran became even more wary of this autonomous eye from the humanoid luminous body.

However, despite his doubts, at this stage, Jiang Ran can use anyone who is useful as a temporary partner. Even if they are enemies, he will use them to his advantage without hesitation.

(Jiang Ran: Master Prigok Nissen, are you here to help me complete my 'mission'?)

(Super-Dimensional Divine Eye: Yes, yes, oh yes, just call me Nissen Daleng. This is a favor I give you!)

(Jiang Ran: Thank you, Master Nisen. I'll leave everything to you from now on... Now, I'm going to use my ability to predict the scene of my death.)

(Ms. Nissen: Hoo ho! Starting with the "Universal Stone" is different! Hurry up! This is an "Impossible Level" parallel world!)

After the conversation, Jiang Ran felt like the lisping little girl voice was about to make his head numb. He couldn't guess why the will of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye would use such a sweet little girl's voice. He could only slowly gather clues and analyze it later.

Jiang Ran now focused intently on using his ability to foresee his own death, which meant he was completely defenseless against Prigog Nissen. Jiang Ran reasoned that since the humanoid had gone to such great lengths to implant the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye within his body (this was a hypothesis), they were, for now, a community of shared interests. If the humanoid had intended to kill him, it could have done so long ago, during the gray space. Besides, he had already died suddenly... Therefore, he simply maintained the necessary caution and suspicion.

However, Jiang Ran's speculation was only partially correct, not completely - for example, when he discovered that he could block the super-dimensional divine eye to think independently, he did not consider another mirror problem in reverse: since he could block his thinking, could the super-dimensional divine eye also do it?

The answer was yes. During Jiang Ran's premonition of her own death, the super-dimensional divine eye, Prigok Nissen, was observing her from a soul-level perspective with a cold attitude. Jiang Ran was unaware of her thoughts and feelings. From the moment she entered Jiang Ran's body until now, Prigok Nissen had been awake the entire time. Her claim of "a long sleep" was a lie.

Furthermore, even before Jiang Ran selected the "Difficulty Level," Prigok Nissen had already made some subtle adjustments—she had altered the visuals Jiang Ran saw, causing him to select "Difficulty Level 3" instead of "Difficulty Level 1." This was why Jiang Ran's right eye felt an unnatural pain. As "Seven," a figure with a mission, Prigok Nissen would continue to interfere with Jiang Ran's actions to maximize the interests of the "Good God Faction"... and if necessary, she would even personally end his life.

(Jiang Ran: Master Nisen, I saw the scene of my own death.)

At this moment, Jiang Ran's voice came from the spiritual space, and Prigok Nissen immediately returned to the "role-playing" state.

(Mr. Nissen: No need to poke, no need to poke. As expected, you are the boy whom I praised as a teachable person. So how long can you live? You should be able to see the time on the screen, right?)

(Jiang Ran: Yes, I can see it. There are still 779.)

(Ms. Nissen: 779... days? Let me do the math... There are 365 days in a year... 779 days... Doesn't that leave over two years? That's way too much time! Hahahaha, the legendary "impossible" level turns out to be just this!!)

(Jiang Ran: Master Nisen, there are only 775 left.)

(Lord Nissen: Huh?)

1.6 - Mortal Future

(Jiang Ran: 774, 773, 772…)

(Ms. Nissen: You, you, your unit is seconds! Why didn’t you tell me something so important earlier?!)

Jiang Ran was very satisfied with Prigok Nissen's extremely excited reaction. Through her performance, Jiang Ran had obtained the information he wanted.

Knowing that he had less than 13 minutes left to live, Jiang Ran did not immediately think about how to avoid this impending death. Instead, he first tried to test the scope of information that Prigok Nissen could know.

Based on Prigok Nissen's comments and reactions, Jiang Ran believed she couldn't see the "death scene" she saw, and there was no other way to obtain information about it. This meant that Jiang Ran's control over the Transdimensional Divine Eye's functionality was implied.

(...if she wasn't acting for me.)

Time is limited, and the test of Prigok Nissen can only go so far. What Jiang Ran needs to deal with more urgently now is to find a way to deal with the future in which he will die in 12 minutes.

Having successfully used his ability to predict his own death, Jiang Ran saw a bird's-eye view of a village. The view showed a bustling hamlet of twenty or thirty wooden houses nestled near a forest. In the frozen image, the villagers gazed toward the southwest corner of the village. There, a towering pillar of fire rose into the sky. Near its edge, a blurry, armored figure clung to its side. The ground where the figure stood was cracked, as if by a powerful impact.

After watching this death scene, Jiang Ran had only one question: where was he? It was clearly his own death scene, but there was no trace of him in the picture.

(Master Nissen: There are less than 12 minutes left, Jiang Yan! Tell me how you got killed in the death scene? If you don't find a solution, you're going to die!)

Prigok Nissen kept chattering in Jiang Ran's head, his panic making him feel even more unreliable. However, even the most unreliable teammate could be useful if guided properly. Furthermore, upon hearing the words "If you don't find a solution, you'll die," Jiang Ran also learned a bonus piece of information: even if he died, Prigok Nissen wouldn't. This immediately weakened their shared interests.

(Okay, put aside all distractions and start focusing on solving the problem.)

Jiang Ran took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then he climbed the tree while communicating with Prigok Nissen.

(Jiang Ran: Master Nisen, it's not that there are only 12 minutes left, but there are still 12 minutes left. Also, I have some questions for you regarding the power of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye.)

Jiang Ran first briefly described his own death scene to Prigog Nissen, then asked her for details about the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye's abilities. Prigog Nissen explained that the ability to "predict one's own death scene" allows the user to see the moment of their own death, while the "death freeze frame" will record the user's entire death scene.

Based on Prigog Nissen's explanation, combined with the image Jiang Ran saw, the contradiction between the two ultimately points to a single possibility: Jiang Ran was burned to death by the massive column of fire depicted in the scene, and was instantly reduced to ash, which is why there's not even a trace of his remains in the image. The reason for the bird's-eye view was to "capture" Jiang Ran's ashes, even though they were no longer visible.

(Jiang Ran: When cremating human remains, the temperature in the crematorium starts at 200 degrees. The first stage of cremation is to burn the paper coffin, the body's clothing, and fat. The optimal combustion temperature for this stage is 400-500 degrees. Then the second stage is to burn the body's muscles, organs, and blood. The optimal combustion temperature is around 600 degrees. Finally, the third stage is to burn the bones. The temperature must be raised to at least 800-900 degrees to burn the bones into ash. The entire cremation process takes at least an hour and a half...)

(Mr. Nissen: Uh, Jiang Yan, excuse me for interrupting you. Are you frightened? Why are you suddenly talking about cremation?)

(Jiang Ran: Because by comparing this, we can see that the temperature of the pillar of fire that burned me to death was at least 3,000 to 4,000 degrees Celsius, which is why I was instantly vaporized. And based on this conclusion, we can conclude that the "enemy" that killed me was extremely powerful, and I couldn't even escape.)

After Jiang Ran said this, Prigok Nissen was silent for a while, and then she suddenly laughed triumphantly.

(Lord Nissen: Hehehe, hahahaha! Thank me, Jiang Yan! Although this enemy is strong, I have already thought of a secret plan to help you escape death!)

To be honest, Jiang Ran didn't think Prigok Nissen could offer any constructive advice, but since she had said so much, he had to give her a way out.

(Jiang Ran: Master Nisen, what good ideas have you come up with?)

(Lord Nissen: Hehehe, listen up, Jiang Yan! You died in the village, right? But we're in the woods now! It's nowhere near any village! So, if we just hide in the woods, we'll be fine, right? Wow, haha! I'm such a genius!)

After listening to Prigok Nissen's thoughts, Jiang Ran felt that he really shouldn't have asked her and had wasted ten precious seconds.

(Jiang Ran: Lord Nisen, the village is just outside this woods, about a five-minute walk away. Furthermore, I don't think someone with such strength can't find us hiding in the woods. I looked around, and the area of ​​this woods is only slightly larger than the village.)

(Ms. Nissen: ...Ah?)

While Prigok Nissen was expressing his opinion, Jiang Ran had already climbed to the tallest nearby tree. From the canopy, they could not only see the nearby village, but also the entire forest. Judging from the appearance of the houses, it was undoubtedly the same village as the one in Jiang Ran's "death scene."

Then, there are only less than 9 minutes left until Jiang Ran's death.

(Mrs. Nissen: It’s over, it’s over, it’s over… Jiang, Jiang Yan, do you have any last words? I’ll take you back to your original realm and send them to your family and friends in your dreams… Woohoo, how could your hard-earned second life be gone in just over ten minutes? It’s so pitiful…)

Prigok Nissen completely collapsed, but Jiang Ran remained calm.

(Jiang Ran: Lord Nisen, I would be very grateful if you could just shut up. I have no last words, and I don't intend to die here.)

(Ms. Nissen: Ugh… Ugh… Ah? You… you’re saying you have a solution??)

(Jiang Ran: Yes, you just need to watch quietly.)

After saying this, Jiang Ran stopped paying attention to Prigok Nissen. This wasn't because he was finally going to take action. In fact, ever since he knew he would die in 13 minutes, Jiang Ran hadn't stopped moving. The reason he was still chatting with Prigok Nissen just now was simply because he was waiting for someone.

Now, the person he was waiting for arrived.

In the woods, a middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter was walking towards the village. Jiang Ran quietly stared at him in the dark and climbed down the tree silently.

1.7 - Foolish Plot

=====

Joseph, male, 46 years old, a villager from Ella Village

Production Occupation: Woodcutter - Lv3

Manufacturing occupation: None

Combat Occupation: None

=====

With the upgraded Super-Dimensional Divine Eye, Jiang Ran only needed to take a glance to understand the basic information of the middle-aged woodcutter - yes, after successfully using the ability of "predicting one's own death" and consuming a little energy points, the "Super-Dimensional Divine Eye" added a little experience value and upgraded from Lv1 to Lv2.

After the upgrade, the information that can be obtained by the identification ability has increased, but the most helpful one is the new seventh ability: reading the inner thoughts of objects below a certain level. Through this ability, Jiang Ran can clearly see what the woodcutter is thinking at the moment:

——Oh, I’m so tired. After a busy morning, I have to face that bitch’s face when I get home, and the food she cooks is getting worse day by day.

—Or... maybe one day I could just chop her down with an axe like I'd chop down a tree? ...Forget it, if everyone finds out, I won't be able to stay in the village anymore. I might even be sent to town to do hard labor.

—Oh, by the way, Mary's husband is staying in town tonight! How could I have forgotten that? Then I can sneak over to Mary's house later in the night and have some fun hehe (,,?ω?,,)~!

—When I get home, I'll pick out a set of clean clothes for tonight. Mary likes to see me dressed neatly, and this woodcutter's outfit won't do...

The seemingly honest woodcutter has no idea that Jiang Ran has read his mind clearly. By reading his mind, Jiang Ran plans to use the woodcutter to avoid his own inevitable death.
