Chapter Index

    An eyeball floated in the card.

    Shen Ye lay on his dorm bed, holding the card and examining it carefully.

    —After agreeing to Su Rong, he withdrew from the simulated scenario of the Primordial Ruins.

    Because Su Rong said she needed to make some preparations.

    For example—

    Opening up the entire simulated scenario to allow more qualified professionals to enter.

    This was to provide cover for him.

    And for another, she would establish a secret teleportation array within the Primordial Ruins.

    The next time he entered, he would be directly teleported to the true multi-layered cosmic ruins.

    —The other body parts were hidden there.

    This journey would indeed be very dangerous.

    But someone had to do it.

    His teacher had already gone to the front lines, so he couldn’t fall behind.

    He had to get this done!

    Shen Ye put away the card, rolled over, and started to sleep.

    —After repeatedly releasing the Palace of Taiyi Derivation of Destiny, Suffering, and Dream Gods, and fighting tooth and nail in the Primordial Ruins, he was utterly exhausted.

    Su Rong and the Primordial Ruins both needed to prepare.

    In addition—

    Lines of faint light characters flashed in the void:

    “Your doppelganger is cultivating with all its might.”

    “He is cultivating!”

    “Cultivating!”

    “Congratulations, you have advanced to the eleventh level of the Dharma Realm.”

    “All attributes currently increased by 20 points.”

    “The power of your three techniques has slightly increased, and your Dharma Projection has grown slightly.”

    “Your doppelganger continues to cultivate the ‘Quick Cultivation Guide’.”

    “Cultivating…”

    His doppelganger was also seized the opportunity to cultivate in “Little Western Heaven”.

    Shen Ye yawned and closed his eyes.

    Time to sleep.

    —He really needed to rest.

    Several hours later.

    Just as dawn was breaking.

    A strange uneasiness welled up in Shen Ye’s heart, and then he opened his eyes.

    For some reason, he felt an inexplicable anxiety.

    He looked at the alarm clock on the table.

    6:45 AM.

    —It was too quiet.

    Usually, at this time, Zhang Xiaoyi, Guo Yunye, and the others would already be calling him to the cafeteria for breakfast.

    But now, there wasn’t even a sound in the hallway.

    The school morning exercise broadcast hadn’t started either.

    Only lines of faint light characters appeared in the void:

    “3 seconds ago.”

    “A powerful oppressive force descended from the sky, plunging the world into a state of drowsiness and dimness.”

    “Repeat.”

    “Your world is under the suppression of some truth!”

    Shen Ye jumped out of bed immediately.

    This wasn’t right!

    Why was he suppressed without feeling anything?

    He looked out the window.

    In the square, students stood silently in formation, their faces blank, mechanically performing morning exercises.

    In the sky.

    There was no blue sky.

    A gray, blurry wall covered the firmament, indistinct.

    The wall was shrouded in mist, and occasionally, massive figures could be seen crawling on it.

    —Dharma Projection!

    This was the enemy’s Dharma Projection!

    The tarot card suddenly vibrated.

    Shen Ye took it out to look.

    A professional he had never seen before appeared on the card face.

    He held another red card and spoke:

    “It’s a bit troublesome to link to your deck, but communication is still possible.”

    “Alright, professionals of the multi-layered cosmos, the great Corpse Emperor is about to speak.”

    “You must listen carefully.”

    The image flashed.

    A woman in a black robe appeared before everyone.

    She sat on a high golden throne, continuously releasing powerful runes that merged into the void, forming a colossal Dharma Projection.

    Shen Ye’s heart almost leaped out of his chest.

    Corpse Emperor?

    No!

    Isn’t this Su Rong?

    She is the will of another multi-layered cosmos—

    Wait, Corpse Emperor…

    An ominous premonition arose in Shen Ye’s heart.

    He gazed at Su Rong, only to see that she indeed had only one eye, while the other was inlaid with a scarlet gem.

    —She was missing an eyeball!

    Could it be—

    Then he heard Su Rong speak:

    “I have only released a slight power of truth, suppressing those too weak ordinary people, and professionals who are completely unqualified.”

    “Those who can still maintain their sanity are qualified to hear the following:”

    “Many years ago, one of my eyeballs, carrying a decaying will, broke free from my control and disappeared.”

    “After such a long time—”

    “I have finally sensed it again.”

    “Whoever among you can hand it over shall be spared from battle and death, and shall directly become my personal guard.”

    “If you have no information about it, then I will kill all of you and find it myself.”

    “That is all.”

    “You have a quarter of an hour to hand over the eyeball.”

    “War will begin after a quarter of an hour!”

    The scene on the card ended.

    But Shen Ye was even more perplexed.

    This didn’t add up.

    Su Rong’s will and body were completely opposite.

    One wanted to continue fighting the White Night Demon Cage, while the other had become the Corpse Emperor of the White Night Demon Cage.

    As things stood—

    It seemed that no matter how the Primordial Ruins evolved, it couldn’t cope with the current situation.

    War was about to begin.

    What should he do?

    Shen Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he possessed “information” and could communicate directly with the Primordial Ruins.

    He closed his eyes slightly and began to sense the Primordial Ruins through the “information.”

    Almost instantly—

    Su Rong’s voice echoed in his ears:

    “The severity of the situation has exceeded my expectations.”

    “There’s no time to integrate into your Primordial Ruins—”

    “My body parts have been collected by the White Night Spirit King and transformed into corpse demons, serving him.”

    “Only this eyeball is still free.”

    Shen Ye’s heart sank, and he immediately said, “I remember you said the eyeball could find other body parts. So, conversely, can the corpse demon find the eyeball?”

    “Yes! As long as the eyeball is free, it can sense it,” Su Rong sighed.

    “Is there no way to block it?” Shen Ye pressed.

    “No—in fact, it has already sensed the eyeball. You might as well offer it up; at least there’s a chance to save your life,” Su Rong said.

    It had sensed the eyeball…

    This wouldn’t do.

    His teacher and the others were still fighting.

    The Death Star was also facing a world invasion war.

    At such a moment, letting the enemy obtain the eyeball and thus become a complete corpse demon—

    Wouldn’t that be the end?

    Suddenly, a female voice sounded from outside the door:

    “So it’s here.”

    Su Rong!

    It was Su Rong after her transformation into a corpse!

    She had indeed come.

    The eyeball simply couldn’t escape her tracking.

    What to do?

    Shen Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly drew out the card and lowed,

    “Summon.”

    Bang.

    An eyeball quietly appeared, suspended on his hand.

    Outside the door.

    Su Rong’s voice sounded again:

    “Mortal, will you personally present it to me?”

    Shen Ye gazed at the eyeball, saying nothing.

    Boom—

    A layer of purple light emanated from him.

    Heaven-reaching Spirit Light.

    —There was no need to hide anymore.

    “‘Heavenly Spiritual Radiance’ has increased your base attributes, attack power, and defense by 7 times, and also increased the strength of one of your followers by the same multiplier.”

    7 times attributes.

    When he was in the Haoyang Heavenly Palace, Shen Ye’s full attributes had already increased to 377 points.

    In the interim, various growths had added quite a bit more.

    Now, after advancing to the eleventh level of the Dharma Realm, his full attributes reached exactly 410 points.

    7 times.

    The bonus from the Heaven-Reaching Art suddenly jumped to 2870 points.

    —Only “terrifying” could describe it!

    Lines of faint light characters frantically refreshed:

    “Your total attributes have temporarily increased to 2870 points.”

    “You have allocated all free attribute points to various attributes, reserving a small portion for agile use.”

    “Current total attributes temporarily reached 3000 points.”

    “You can temporarily exert the power of the Heaven-Shaking Art and the Heaven-Conquering Art.”

    “Your Dharma Projection has temporarily reached an unprecedented level.”

    “The three arts form an immortal kingdom! The immortal kingdom’s Dharma Projection is complete! (Temporary).”

    All the small characters flashed frantically past Shen Ye’s eyes.

    He felt a bit more confident and said aloud:

    “Please wait, your eyeball needs to be packaged. You can scan the QR code to pay first.”

    The figure outside paused.

    —It seemed not to understand Shen Ye’s meaning.

    Seizing this moment—

    Lines of faint light characters quickly appeared in the void:

    “You have activated the Primordial-level trait ‘Blood Sucking Grandpa’.”

    “Description: Integrate any existing entity into the specified target, allowing the specified target to perfectly inherit everything from the former, resulting in a super-evolutionary effect.”

    “The currently selected object is ‘Su Rong’s eyeball’, specified to be integrated into your body.”

    “Congratulations.”

    “This fusion has produced a super-evolutionary effect, granting you the Eye of Cosmic Truth.”

    “Description: It possesses the power of super-evolution and has been integrated into your body, but it requires your will to activate.”

    “This process is extremely painful. Please be prepared before communicating with it.”

    “—This is an ocular technique superior to Dharma Eyes and pupil techniques.”

    There was no time to think about how to communicate with this super-evolved eyeball—

    The purpose of the fusion was nothing else but to escape detection!

    What was most important for Shen Ye right now was to flee for his life!

    In an instant.

    “Dharma Projection Descent · Supreme Immortal Kingdom.”

    Shen Ye whispered.

    Boom—

    The dorm door was kicked open.

    Corpse Demon Su Rong stepped in. Her murderous expression suddenly froze.

    The shabby dorm disappeared.

    The door behind her also vanished.

    At this moment.

    She stood in a heavenly palace enveloped in misty clouds.

    All around were groups of gods, praising in unison, standing respectfully.

    “Where is this place?”

    Su Rong asked.

    “Reporting to the Immortal Emperor, this is the Heavenly God Palace of the world, and you are the Lord of Myriad Gods,” an immortal answered.

    Su Rong looked around, then sneered:

    “Pupil technique? Or a Dharma Projection? Trying to deceive me is a thankless task.”

    She pointed across the air.

    The immortal seemed to be hit by something, his entire head exploded, his body swayed a few times, and he fell to the ground.

    At the same time—

    Pfft.

    A soft sound.

    A bloody hole appeared in Su Rong’s temple.

    She was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said:

    “Dharma Projection Descent · Myriad Demon Corpse Wall!”

    Rumble—

    Outside the grand and ethereal Heavenly Palace, a colossal wall emerged in the boundless sky.

    Dense hordes of demons and ghosts emerged from the wall, letting out roars filled with killing intent.

    “Killed by my demons and ghosts, they will undergo corpse transformation and completely merge into my body, becoming my strength and a part of me.”

    “—Now let’s see whose Dharma Projection is more powerful, yours or mine!”

    As the words fell.

    Countless demons and ghosts surged into the entire world, beginning an unrestrained slaughter.

    Gods and demons.

    They fought with all their might, striving to defeat each other.

    Then a sudden change occurred—

    As gods fell one by one, seven or eight wounds suddenly appeared on Su Rong’s body, bursting into puffs of blood mist.

    She swayed a few times, steadied herself, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

    What’s going on?

    It can still hurt me?

    Su Rong hastily scanned the warring gods again.

    In a short while.

    Another god was surrounded by seven or eight demons, struggled for a few breaths, and then had his body shattered by various spells.

    “Pfft.”

    Su Rong clutched her neck and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

    She suddenly understood, and couldn’t help but whisper:

    “So that’s how it is…”

    It turned out that beyond this palace, between heaven and earth, in every mountain, every river, every city, and every place, there were corresponding deities guarding them.

    They all belonged to Su Rong and were ready to follow her command at any time.

    Su Rong’s expression was solemn as she whispered:

    “One body transformed into eighty-four thousand deities, each deity in its own place, corresponding to my limbs, bones, and meridian channels.”

    “I am the myriad gods, and the myriad gods are me.”

    “—Is this to make me hesitant and unable to escape?”

    She fell into thought.

    The countless demons and ghosts also gradually ceased their attacks, temporarily holding their ground.

    Outside the Dharma Projection.

    Shen Ye let out a tragic scream, rolled to the ground, and clutched his left eye.

    Pain.

    Excruciating pain swept through his entire body.

    Fusing with the eyeball of a multi-layered cosmic master was not a simple matter.

    In fact.

    Shen Ye didn’t want to do this either.

    But there was no other way.

    He vaguely understood that if he handed over the eyeball, the corpse demon Su Rong would evolve into its complete form.

    In that case, the true Su Rong would be replaced by it.

    Su Rong’s will would definitely perish.

    All the efforts and preparations of the Primordial Ruins would go to waste.

    The Death Star would simply be unable to complete this mission, which concerned the evolution of the multi-layered cosmos.

    The Sixth Epoch would be utterly unable to emerge from the Primordial Ruins!

    Therefore—

    The opponent must absolutely not be allowed to obtain the eyeball!

    But his own strength was too weak, and he couldn’t protect this eyeball.

    There was no way.

    There really was no way.

    No.

    The only method he could think of was—

    Not letting the opponent obtain it!

    Shen Ye knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, panting heavily.

    He had to endure the pain while waiting for this eyeball to activate within him.

    Activate.

    “Activate quickly!”

    Shen Ye let out a roar.

    Suddenly.

    Corpse Demon Su Rong suddenly appeared, grabbed Shen Ye by the neck, and lifted him up.

    “Although your Dharma Projection is strong, it cannot kill me.”

    “As long as I don’t attack, it can’t do anything to me—”

    “Hand over the eyeball quickly!”

    ⊙ TTkan⊙ C ○

    Shen Ye looked at her.

    —This guy is so strong.

    Not only strong in power, but also intelligent.

    But his Dharma Projection couldn’t last much longer—

    What to do?

    “You want the eyeball? Fine, here,” Shen Ye said with difficulty.

    The next second.

    Several lines of faint light characters suddenly popped out:

    “You have activated the Primordial Trait ‘Blood Sucking Grandpa’.”

    “The fusion selected this time is:”

    “Fusing Corpse Demon Su Rong into Shen Ye’s body.”

    “The fusion will create a stronger rejection, and you will endure unparalleled pain until you completely overcome it, at which point a super-evolutionary effect will occur!”

    The two disappeared from the dorm room simultaneously.

    Almost in an instant—

    “No!”

    Corpse Demon Su Rong let out an agonizing scream, struggled out of the void, and immediately tried to flee.

    Madman!

    Neither his Dharma Projection nor his traits were normal.

    And the man himself was a lunatic!

    —Is this guy even human?

    The corpse demon immediately tried to flee, but was grabbed by a hand.

    Shen Ye’s hand.

    The Corpse Demon—

    Or rather, this Corpse Emperor of the White Night Demon Cage, couldn’t possibly be held by Shen Ye, frozen in place.

    But in the surrounding void, faint BGM sounds began to play.

    As soon as the background music started, Su Rong couldn’t move.

    Truth Seven Heavens, the約束技 (Agreed Technique) of the Courageous Giant!

    Seizing this moment—

    Shen Ye struggling out of the void, put on a pair of sunglasses, spat out a mouthful of blood, and gasped,

    “Come, brother will take you to see the magnificent world.”

    The sound of an electric guitar suddenly rose!

    The drumbeat kicked in.

    A female voice hummed back and forth.

    Corpse Demon Su Rong was horrified, but couldn’t move an inch no matter what.

    Shen Ye took a step forward and hugged her tightly.

    Two lines of small characters jumped out again:

    “You have activated the Primordial Trait ‘Blood Sucking Grandpa’, and you have begun to fuse again!”

    “The fusion will produce a stronger repulsion, and you will endure unparalleled pain until you completely overcome it, at which point a super-evolutionary effect will occur!”

    The two disappeared again.

    In the void, only ripples of invisible energy spread in all directions.
