Chapter 251 The Mirror of Inquiry Shatters! Reward: Time-Space Origin Liquid; Comprehension Has Defi
The Mirror of Inquiry could not withstand the immense causal force that could crush eternity, and with a "crack," the image shattered.
All the strange phenomena vanished completely, leaving only the mirror surface still trembling slightly.
"puff."
Lu Sheng felt a tightness in his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the white jade steps, staggering backward.
Outside, all was deathly silent except for the sound of the wind.
Inside the bronze hall, the air was so thick it felt like it was filled with lead.
Several human giants who were usually unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai were now deathly pale.
Elder Xingtian collapsed to the ground, his massive hands, powerful enough to tear apart high-level sea beasts, now trembling uncontrollably.
"Guardian Deity..."
His lips trembled as he pointed at the now-blacked-out water mirror, his voice sounding like he was being choked: "Old Li, you call that thing a guardian angel?"
"That look... that look that trampled the abyss, along with us, under its feet! That was a tyrant! A complete and utter tyrant!"
The beautiful woman in palace attire beside her was also clutching her heaving chest, her face deathly pale.
In that instant, even through the water mirror, she felt as if her soul had been nearly shattered by the gaze of the man on the throne.
That extreme indifference, that domineering attitude that regarded all living beings as worthless, made even a level ten powerhouse like her feel a tremor from the depths of her genes.
"Old Li..." The beautiful woman turned to look at the person in the main seat, "If this child truly grows up,... can we really manage him?"
The hall fell into an even deeper silence.
It's a big gamble.
If they win the gamble, humanity will prosper; if they lose, they may face the rule of another "king".
On the main seat, Elder Li stared intently at the young man wiping his mouth in the water mirror, his cloudy old eyes revealing a complex and ever-changing expression.
Fear? Yes.
Hesitation? Yes, there is.
But in the end, all of this turned into a desperate and ruthless act.
"Control? Who said we're supposed to control him?"
Elder Li suddenly looked up, his voice hoarse yet powerful: "Now the Abyss is closing in step by step, and humanity is on the edge of a precipice. What we need is not an obedient watchdog, but a vicious dragon that can tear the Abyss apart!"
"So what if he's a tyrant? So what if he's a demon?"
"As long as his blade points towards the abyss, as long as he still needs human resources..."
Elder Li slammed his hand on the table, instantly reducing the solid wood table to dust: "Even if he is a world-destroying demon god, he is still a demon god offered up by my human race!"
"Issue my order! What the Mirror of the Mind revealed today is classified as top secret! Anyone who dares to divulge even a single word will be personally executed!"
"in addition……"
He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with a gambler's red light:
"All previous resource commitments will be doubled!"
"Dragon Blood Tempering Fluid, Enlightenment Stones, even that 'Star Core' sealed for ten thousand years... as long as he can swallow it, feed him as much as he can!"
"I want him to know that no one in this world, except humans, can afford to raise this true dragon! We'll bind him completely to our war machine!"
……
The end of the path to immortality.
Lu Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gasped for breath.
It felt like a hundred tons of explosives had been stuffed into his brain and detonated simultaneously; the pain was so intense he wanted to curse.
The feeling of having my soul forcibly extracted and stuffed into a grand memory was absolutely awful.
"What a lousy mirror, it has such a strong aftereffect."
Lu Sheng rubbed his throbbing temples and it took him a while to come to his senses.
He didn't see the earth-shattering phenomena outside; from his perspective, he was just having an extremely realistic dream.
In his dream, he sat atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with a large group of people kneeling at his feet whose faces he couldn't make out. It felt... kind of cool?
"That guy with the sloppy posture... was that me?"
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, now back to normal, Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. "My future self, is she really this unconventional?"
"System, was that real?"
[Ding! Host contact with higher-dimensional causal laws detected.]
[Answer: The Mirror of Inquiry reflects one of the most desired or most likely future scenarios in the host's subconscious.]
Whether it comes true depends on the host's choices and strength.
What does the subconscious mind crave most?
Lu Sheng stroked his chin and grinned, "So, deep down I really want to be the boss."
"All races submit, I reign supreme for eternity..."
"That sounds pretty good."
Fear and awe were nonexistent for Lu Sheng.
If the future belongs to the strong, then it means that I have survived, and I am thriving better than anyone else.
This is enough.
As for whether he is a villain?
In the adult world, only winning and losing matters; only children distinguish between right and wrong.
"But now that the movie's over, I have to pay for the ticket, right?"
Lu Sheng stopped dwelling on that scene and greedily focused his gaze on the ancient stone mirror in front of him.
"If I smash this mirror, will it drop any equipment?"
He raised his hand, as if to knock.
Om-!
The Mirror of Inquiry trembled violently, its appearance revealing a hint of human-like terror.
It seemed genuinely afraid that this hothead would tear it apart, and the mirror surface rippled violently.
pat.
A drop of purplish-gold liquid, as if squeezed out of toothpaste, reluctantly seeped from the center of the mirror and floated in front of Lu Sheng.
The moment the liquid appeared, the surrounding space began to distort, as if it could not bear the weight of this single drop of liquid.
A strange fragrance that shot straight to the top of Lu Sheng's head instantly invigorated his previously listless spirit.
Just one whiff of it and the Dragon God sequence within his body began to stir wildly, emitting an extremely eager roar!
eat!
eat it!
[Ding! Emperor-level energy substance detected—"Time-Space Source Liquid"!]
[Efficacy: Contains fragments of high-dimensional spacetime laws. After consumption, it can reshape the soul, greatly enhance comprehension, and has a very low probability of comprehending forbidden abilities related to "time" or "space"!]
[Review: In the ancient Qin Dynasty, this was an unparalleled treasure that even the First Emperor would cherish! Don't hesitate, speak up!]
"nice one!"
Lu Sheng's eyes instantly turned green.
A treasure of this caliber would probably make those level 10 monsters smash their brains out if I took it out.
Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and inhaled.
call out!
The drop of purple-gold elixir transformed into a stream of light and entered the mouth.
boom--!
It's not a treat for the taste buds, but an indescribable feeling of coolness that explodes instantly!
It's like being exposed to the scorching sun in the desert for three days in the middle of summer, and then suddenly being thrown into a swimming pool filled with ice-cold Sprite.
Cool!
It felt so good it made my scalp tingle!
Lu Sheng felt his soul being dismantled, cleansed, and reassembled at this moment.
Originally, looking at the world was like looking through a layer of frosted glass.
Now, the glass is broken.
The whole world became clearer than ever before.
The movement of the wind, the refraction of light, the trajectory of spiritual energy...
Even the tiny dust particles floating in the air in the distance were clearly visible to him.
A sense of pleasure called "control" arises spontaneously.
[Ding! Soul reconstruction successful! Comprehension greatly improved!]
[Dragon God Sequence Compatibility Increased!]
Lu Sheng clenched his fist, feeling his refreshed mind, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
This trip was a huge success!
"I've seen the future, and I've enjoyed the rewards."
Lu Sheng clapped his hands and turned to look into the depths of Dengxian Island, shrouded in mist.
Those dark golden vertical pupils were filled with ambition and anticipation.
"Next, let me see how many treasures this legendary Immortal Ascension Island still holds."
