Jiang Chaosheng was trapped in a dreamlike, nihilistic world.
He stood on a surface as clear as water, surrounded by complete darkness.
Jiang Chaosheng lowered his head, his pupils contracting.
He saw...himself.
In that basement, I sat cross-legged in front of the forbidden sculpture.
The forbidden sculpture's eyes burned with white flames, overflowing with powerful energy, as it closed the eye on its forehead.
Jiang Chaosheng had a sudden thought.
His view suddenly zoomed out, and he saw the Zero Antique Shop in the early morning, and even saw two stray cats running past the door.
Jiang Chaosheng's thoughts stirred once again.
The view zoomed out again, and he saw the quiet, peaceful street.
The perspective zooms out again...
He saw the entire South China Sea City!
It's like watching a TV program playing beneath the surface of the water at your feet.
Jiang Chaosheng tried to control this 'television program,' constantly switching the perspective until it finally landed in a small village.
It is five o'clock in the morning, and a funeral procession is carrying a coffin up the mountain.
In the South China Sea, there is a custom that if the deceased is under fifty years old, the funeral must be held before sunrise.
He saw at the very front of the funeral procession a young man scattering paper money while crying out:
"Dad, I haven't even made a lot of money yet, and I haven't even brought you from the village to the city, why are you leaving already!"
Jiang Chaosheng felt a hint of surprise.
Even though he couldn't hear the young man's voice, he knew exactly what the young man was saying and the emotions he was conveying.
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out:
"What the father gives to the son is real gold and silver, what the son gives to the father is paper money."
Hehehe, giving this paper money can buy away the guilt in my heart.
You humans are the easiest to fool, because you even fool yourselves.
Jiang Chaosheng felt that this world was filled with a soft purple light.
He raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent lingered in his pupils.
Before Jiang Chaosheng was an enormous purple eyeball, as if it were half the world:
"What you stand on is the human world as I see it."
Of course, the human world I see is incredibly real and pure, far more real than what you humans want to see.
From this space, sinister laughter, filled with seduction and deception, continued to emanate.
"Hehehe... Don't look at me like that."
Little Chaosheng, do you know that you have received great fortune!
Even the last emperor coveted this eye.
But what about you? You actually managed to merge me into your body.
"How interesting. You've accomplished what the last emperor couldn't do before he died."
Jiang Chaosheng stopped looking at it, straightened his trench coat, and sat on the water.
The water surface rippled with the movement of the river tide.
The cunning and treacherous left eye visibly paused, its large purple eyeball filled with confusion:
Aren't you curious about any of this?
Jiang Chaosheng lowered his head and said:
"Having witnessed your manipulative and deceptive tactics, I've decided I'll only say three things to you."
I won't believe a single punctuation mark you utter, so please be quiet and stop making noise.
That concludes my second point.
The cunning and treacherous left eye waited a long time but didn't hear the third sentence. It blinked its large eyes and said:
"And the third sentence?"
Jiang Chaosheng closed his eyes and remained silent.
The cunning and treacherous left eye suddenly realized.
Feelings, those three sentences, including what he said, "From the moment I witnessed your methods of bewitching and deceiving people..."
The cunning and treacherous man's left eye twitched:
"You...you're actually quite humorous, huh, hehe..."
Jiang Chaosheng remained silent.
The forbidden sculpture awaits to erase the consciousness of the cunning and treacherous left eye.
The cunning and treacherous left eye said:
"If you won't speak, then I'll speak myself."
Do you know why the last emperor wanted to fuse with this eye?
The Deceitful and Cunning Left Eye Asks and Answers Its Own Questions:
"Because he wants to open his divine senses!"
Humans have nine orifices, but all they know is to chatter, listen to rumors, smell stench, look at filth, and then poop and pee, hehehehe, doing that kind of thing.
If you open the tenth aperture, hehehe, that will be a different story!
That is the path to pursuing truth and enlightenment.
This tenth aperture is called the Spirit Aperture.
In the past, there were also many mortals and wild beasts in your human world who had opened their spiritual senses.
"Hey? Don't you want to know where they ended up?"
Jiang Chaosheng remained silent with his eyes closed.
He learned about the war from the cowherd, and naturally he knew the answer as well.
Seeing that Jiang Chaosheng wasn't taking the bait, the cunning and treacherous Left Eye continued to reveal another secret from a different era:
"The last emperor, he was really fierce."
Those with divine abilities have absolute power to suppress those with spiritual abilities, yet he used his mortal body to defeat all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, making them flee in terror.
If given time to cultivate, his spiritual aperture will surely grow into a divine aperture.
Too bad he didn't have enough time, hehehehe...
So, I came.
Don't you want to know why he failed to fuse with the divine aperture?
Jiang Chaosheng closed his eyes and said:
He said he was killed because of you.
Jiang Chaosheng is not humorous and doesn't know how to joke.
Therefore, this is the third sentence.
The cunning and treacherous man's left eye suddenly twitched:
The cunning and treacherous left eye suddenly realized something:
"You...you saw him in that dream?!"
His cunning and treacherous left eye was filled with anger, disbelief, and ferocity.
"What kind of monsters are you two?!"
Could it be that you're plotting against me?!
"Could it be that you foresaw entering a dream and deliberately arranged to meet in it?!"
Jiang Chaosheng opened his eyes and looked down at the water below.
The perspective has shifted back to the basement of the Zero Antique Shop.
He saw that the eyes on his forehead, which were sitting cross-legged in front of the forbidden sculpture, were slowly closing.
The voice of the cunning and treacherous left eye continued to emanate:
"The Last Emperor... The Unpredictable King..."
You also possess the attributes of the last emperor; you absolutely cannot be spared, no matter the cost.
Its voice became extremely calm and cold, without a trace of seduction.
The entire space began to tremble.
Jiang Chaosheng didn't quite understand why seeing the last emperor in his dream would cause this cunning and treacherous monster to go berserk like a brute.
At this moment, the forbidden sculpture slowly raised its white jade skull head and looked up from below the water level.
Jiang Chaosheng looked slightly surprised.
It... can see this space?
One of the white jade skull hands in the forbidden sculpture suddenly moved.
This was the first time Jiang Chaosheng had ever seen a forbidden sculpture with any part other than its head altered.
The next second, the white jade skull hand rose up, breaking through the spatial barrier between illusion and reality, and the giant white jade skull hand appeared behind the left eye of the Deceitful and Wicked.
Five white jade finger bones, like works of art, suddenly grabbed the huge purple eyeball floating in front of Jiang Chaosheng and pressed down abruptly!
......
When Jiang Chaosheng opened his eyes again, his perspective had returned to the Zero Antique Shop.
He looked up at the forbidden sculpture.
The white jade skull remains in the position of extending its hand upwards.
The white flame in the empty eye socket flickered on and off, as if it were about to go out.
The white jade skull slowly opened its mouth:
"Don't... rely on... magic tricks..."
"Don't...believe in deception and trickery..."
The next second, the white flames in the white jade skull's eyes went out.
Jiang Chaosheng noticed that the white jade skull's originally crystal-clear body had dimmed somewhat.
He frowned and muttered:
"What exactly is this cunning and deceitful thing?"
Jiang Chaosheng had no information about the cunning and treacherous left eye.
Therefore, this forbidden item is not considered to be contained.
Instead...
It is to be forever integrated with oneself.
Jiang Chaosheng closed his eyes, sensing the cunning and treacherous left eye within his body.
It's as if there's an extra switch inside my body.
However, the switch was bound by a golden chain.
The aura emanating from those golden chains was strikingly similar to the aura of the forbidden sculpture suppressing Daji's rampage.
Could it be... the aura of the Human Emperor?
However, if one so desires, one can unlock the golden chains and open them.
Jiang Chaosheng recalled the moment he walked back to the Zero Antique Shop.
He could command the wind and rain through that eye.
The commotion was much greater than when the Dragon King and Daji conjured clouds and rain.
Jiang Chaosheng learned about the Spirit Gathering Technique, the Spirit Aperture, and the Divine Aperture through tonight's events.
Let's take a computer as an example.
If one cultivates the Spirit Gathering Technique to a high level, to a very advanced level, it's equivalent to having the latest graphics card.
The spiritual aperture is like the monitor of a CRT monitor.
The "divine aperture" is essentially a newly developed high-end display.
Clearly, no matter how well one cultivates their mental strength, without a sufficiently powerful "monitor," the graphics card won't even be able to deliver a basic "high-definition effect."
Jiang Chaosheng stopped investigating the eye.
Not using it won't affect me in any way.
With it, it's like having a cheat code in battle.
It's not exactly a bad thing.
Hmm... I guess not.
