182: Chapter 182 The Eye Root Reveals Fate
Deep within the wreckage of the Eye of Eternity.
The grayish-white pupil reflected Jiang Feng's face.
After that voice fell, the entire underground went silent.
Li Yan stood at the edge of the eye socket, looked up at that black optic nerve, and couldn't help but curse.
"This thing is shattered like this, and it can still connect to the network?"
Zero Seven's expression tightened.
"It's not connecting to a network."
"It's that it never fully died."
Zhang Changlin looked at that nerve.
Every time the nerve twitched, a patch of ancient marks beneath the Blue Star's surface would light up.
The new Awakening Array above Dongjiang City would also be dimmed by an inch by the gray light.
Xiao Zhenjiang's communication soon came through.
"Jiang Feng, the name archives across Huaxia have stabilized."
"But secondary pollution has appeared beneath Dongjiang City."
"The new array can only hold on for three more minutes."
Jiang Feng looked at the eye.
"That's enough."
From the grayish-white pupil, The Name Writer's voice emerged.
"You think by plundering the Nameless Well, you can touch the Eye of Eternity?"
"This eye once illuminated the True Names of the Nine Realms."
"It witnessed Pangu's birth."
"And it saw the Blue Star being sealed."
Jiang Feng lifted his foot and stepped on the bony wall of the eye socket.
Crack.
The gray bony wall split open on the spot.
A System prompt popped up.
[Touched: Outer Horizon Bone of the Eye of Eternity.]
[Function: Recording World Names, Observing Fate Patterns, Connecting Old Name Fragments.]
[Plunderable.]
Jiang Feng's tone was very flat.
"Plunder."
[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]
[Plundering the Outer Horizon Bone of the Eye of Eternity.]
[Obtained All Attributes: 50 ganges sand.]
[Current Basic Six-Dimensional Attributes: 970 ganges sand.]
The outer layer of the eye socket collapsed directly.
The grayish-white pupil suddenly contracted.
Li Yan's eyes lit up.
"Good, dismantle its eye socket first."
The Dragon Girl Clone was not here.
But a wisp of Dragon Breath she left on Jiang Feng's cuff swayed, emitting a childish voice.
"Master, gouge out the eyeball."
Li Yan's mouth twitched.
"That sounds a bit scary."
"But it's quite accurate."
The grayish-white pupil spoke coldly.
"Jiang Feng, you have no idea what you are releasing."
Jiang Feng walked forward.
"I only know that you are occupying the ground beneath my home."
Within the grayish-white pupil, countless images suddenly lit up.
Blue Star.
First Blue Star.
Wuliang Heaven.
A blank chessboard at a higher level.
Countless worlds, like chess pieces, were placed in the squares.
Beneath each world, a name was pressed down.
Some names were still lit.
Some names had already been scraped off.
Zero Seven's breath hitched.
"This isn't simple observation."
"This is a World Register!"
The grayish-white pupil said:
"If a world has a name, it has boundaries."
"If a world is nameless, it can be archived."
"jiachen 17 Blue Star was meant to be nameless."
Jiang Feng stopped in his tracks.
He raised his hand.
The residual red light from the peace buckle glowed in his palm.
"Unfortunately."
"My mom once put a peace buckle on me."
The grayish-white pupil fell silent.
Li Yan almost laughed out loud.
"This response isn't very lethal."
"But the level of insult is peak."
Jiang Feng didn't waste any more words.
He reached out to grab that black optic nerve.
The optic nerve immediately tensed up.
A large number of symbols spewed out of the grayish-white pupil.
Those symbols were not text.
They were small eyes.
Every single eye stared at Jiang Feng's name.
[Eternal Name Illumination activated.]
[Effect: Forcefully observe the target's True Name, Godhead, Mother Anchor, and World Affiliation.]
[True Name Self-Holding in effect.]
[Mother Anchor Unregistered in effect.]
[Blue Star Local Naming Rights in effect.]
[Observation failed.]
The small eyes exploded on the spot.
For the first time, the grayish-white pupil cracked.
Jiang Feng gripped the optic nerve.
The System prompt immediately turned red.
[Touched: Undying Root of the Eye of Eternity.]
[Function: Transmitting the coordinates of the Blue Star's Old Name to The Name Writer's true body.]
[Plunderable.]
Jiang Feng said: "Plunder."
[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]
[Plundering the outer layer of the Undying Root of the Eye of Eternity.]
[Obtained All Attributes: 70 ganges sand.]
[Current Basic Six-Dimensional Attributes: 1040 ganges sand.]
Boom!
The optic nerve snapped in half.
Most of the gray light above Dongjiang City instantly dissipated.
Xiao Zhenjiang's voice came through, suppressed with excitement.
"Pollution is dropping!"
"The new array has pushed it back!"
Li Yan grinned.
"It's over a thousand ganges sand now."
"This eyeball is quite meaty."
Zero Seven looked at Jiang Feng's panel, her throat moving.
She no longer knew which point to be shocked by.
When others break through, they go into seclusion for a hundred years.
When Jiang Feng breaks through, he dismantles someone else's home base.
Within the grayish-white pupil, The Name Writer's voice finally turned a bit colder.
"If you dare to swallow it, you will see the truth before the Blue Star was sealed."
"That is not something you can bear."
Jiang Feng looked up.
"You guys say that every time."
His fingers continued to apply pressure.
The optic nerve was completely dragged out.
Deep underground, a dull thud echoed.
It was as if some ancient organ had been uprooted.
[Plundering the Core of the Undying Root of the Eye of Eternity.]
[Obtained All Attributes: 120 ganges sand.]
[Current Basic Six-Dimensional Attributes: 1160 ganges sand.]
[Obtained Special Divine Authority Fragment: Name-Illumination Counter.]
[Effect: Can reverse-pollute, track, and cut off True Name observation rules lower than one's own status.]
Jiang Feng flipped his palm.
The black optic nerve was enveloped in colorless light and shone in reverse.
The Name Writer's projection within the grayish-white pupil froze on the spot.
A System prompt popped up.
[Name-Illumination Counter triggered.]
[Tracing the source of the writer's projection in reverse.]
[Tracking failed.]
[Reason: The target's true body is located at a higher Naming Layer.]
[Obtained residual coordinates: Inverted Chessboard.]
Zero Seven's expression changed.
"Inverted Chessboard?"
"It's not Wuliang Heaven, and it's not the First Blue Star."
Zhang Changlin said in a heavy voice:
"A higher place where the players sit?"
Jiang Feng didn't respond.
He looked into the deepest part of the grayish-white pupil.
There floated half a grayish-blue stone fragment.
On the fragment was a damaged old character.
It shared the same source as the one from the Nameless Well.
But its aura was even heavier.
It was as if the mountains and rivers of the entire Blue Star were pressed into this half-character.
[Detected: Second Fragment of the Blue Star's Real Old Name.]
[Outer Seal: Eternal Observation Lock.]
[Plunderable.]
The grayish-white pupil emitted a low voice.
"Jiang Feng."
"If you take the second fragment, the Blue Star will begin to dream."
"The things in the dream will return along with the Old Name."
Jiang Feng reached out.
"Let them come back then."
The grayish-white pupil said:
"You cannot protect everyone."
Jiang Feng gripped the stone fragment.
"Then I'll protect those in front of me first."
[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]
[Plundering the Eternal Observation Lock.]
[Obtained All Attributes: 90 ganges sand.]
[Current Basic Six-Dimensional Attributes: 1250 ganges sand.]
The Seal exploded.
The second fragment fell into Jiang Feng's palm.
The next second.
The entire Blue Star shook slightly.
It wasn't a disaster.
It was more like a sleeping person rolling over.
Across Huaxia.
Beneath the mountains and rivers, ancient patterns lit up.
At the bottom of the Yangtze River, a broken stele emerged by half an inch.
Deep within Mount Tai, a bronze bell vibrated silently.
Beneath the snow layers of Kunlun, an old gate cracked open a sliver.
Xiao Zhenjiang looked at the national map, his pupils contracting.
"Jiang Feng."
"All ancient ruins in Huaxia are responding."
"They aren't Demon Realm ruins."
"It's the Blue Star's own ruins."
Li Yan was stunned.
"The Blue Star really had things before?"
Zero Seven's voice was dry.
"It's not that there were things."
"It's that it was being held down."
Jiang Feng looked at the second fragment in his palm.
A wisp of the warm light from the third fragment of the peace buckle also flew over from space.
The two lights collided.
The Blue Star Local Naming Rights began to throb.
[Blue Star Real Old Name Fragments: 2/3.]
[Third fragment purified, awaiting Fusion.]
[Resonate in advance?]
Jiang Feng said: "Resonate."
[Resonance beginning.]
[Blue Star Local Naming Rights increased.]
[World True Name Self-Holding progress: 66%.]
[Huaxia Life Pulse feedback.]
[All Attributes increased: 80 ganges sand.]
[Current Basic Six-Dimensional Attributes: 1330 ganges sand.]
The pangu godhead within Jiang Feng's body vibrated.
Colorless divine light spread from beneath his feet, directly covering the remains of the Eye of Eternity.
That grayish-white pupil could no longer hold on.
Ka.
The pupil split into two halves.
The Name Writer's projection twisted within the crack.
It didn't roar.
It only calmly left one sentence.
"The second piece has returned."
"The third piece is in the Mother's Hand."
"The Old Name shall awaken."
"Jiang Feng, you will personally open the coffin of the Blue Star."
Jiang Feng raised his hand.
The Zero-er's light fell.
"Save your words for your next life."
[Zero-er triggered.]
[Residual observation will of the Eye of Eternity erased.]
[Pangu Plunder triggered.]
[Obtained All Attributes: 60 ganges sand.]
[Current Basic Six-Dimensional Attributes: 1390 ganges sand.]
The wreckage of the Eye of Eternity dimmed completely.
The gray light underground dissipated.
Above Dongjiang City, everyone's names completely stabilized.
In the command center, a technician shouted excitedly.
"Commander!"
"Dongjiang pollution cleared!"
"The new Awakening Array has taken over the peripheral permissions of the underground ancient marks!"
Xiao Zhenjiang took a deep breath.
"Record this."
"From today on, the remains of the Eye of Eternity are classified as a Blue Star local restricted zone."
"Without Jiang Feng's permission, no organization may approach."
Li Yan let out a "heh" over the communication.
"Isn't this just turning the eyeball into our warehouse?"
Jiang Feng looked down at the wreckage that looked like a gray continent.
"A warehouse isn't enough."
"Use it as a foundation."
Li Yan was silent for a second.
"You really know how to live thriftily."
Zero Seven suddenly froze as she looked at a new System prompt.
"Mr. Jiang."
"There's one more."
Jiang Feng looked at her.
Zero Seven enlarged the prompt.
[Remains of the Eye of Eternity cleared.]
[Detected hidden legacy: Observer's Initial Afterbirth.]
[Associated Object: Xuanji.]
[Status: Awakening.]
Jiang Feng's brow twitched.
Deep within the underground wreckage.
Something as thin as green gauze slowly floated up.
It bore Venerable Xuan's mark.
It also had The Name Writer's closed-eye symbol.
And a line of new text.
[Observers were not manufactured.]
[Observers are the eyes used to find the Blue Star's Old Name.]
Meanwhile.
Within the Wuji Source Realm.
Xuanji, who had just finished drinking hawthorn water, suddenly snapped her eyes open.
At the spot on her chest where Jiang Feng had removed the chalk, a Cyan-gold vertical pupil emerged.
The vertical pupil first looked toward the Tianshu Dragon Garden.
Then it looked toward the old wooden box.
Finally, it stared intently at that peace buckle.
Xuanji's face was pale, and her voice was hoarse.
"Jiang Feng."
"Don't let Auntie touch the peace buckle."
"Inside..."
"There is another eye."
