Chapter 107: Facing the Divine Being for the First Time, Upgrade of the All-Knowing Eye

Back home.

Cheng Han looked around but didn't see the black cat. He muttered softly, "It's getting dark, where did the police chief go again?"

He thought for a moment and made a deduction with the help of the connection of the Spirit Control Seal:

An illusion slowly emerged:

"Squeak~"

A white-bellied squirrel stood on a pine branch, happily chirping and jumping.

Among the dense pine needles, there were several dark fruits hanging.

These were rock pine nuts.

Peeling off the rock-like shell, inside was a flesh rich in oil. Just a little roasting over low heat would turn it into a delicious food.

Although rock pine nuts were considered good food, they usually grew high up in the tree canopy, making it very difficult to pick. Therefore, one could only wait for them to naturally fall off.

"Meow~"

A black shadow darted along the pine branch, swiftly swiping its claws a few times, accurately severing the roots of the rock pine nuts, causing them to quickly fall downwards.

It was the black cat.

The set of actions was extremely smooth, fully demonstrating its agility far surpassing that of ordinary cats.

It is worth mentioning that the roots of rock pine nuts were quite hard. Under normal circumstances, one would need a knife to cut them, but the black cat easily severed them with just a swipe of its claws.

This was obviously extraordinary.

However, Cheng Han was not surprised.

Recently, due to the influence of the Spirit Control Seal, the extraordinary traits displayed by the black cat had become more and more apparent. Not only did its spirit undergo a miraculous transformation, but even its physical body had gradually begun to strengthen.

"Meow~"

The black cat stepped on the swaying pine branch, its figure extremely stable, issuing a command.

On the snowy ground below.

Two cats ran swiftly on the snow, collecting the rock pine nuts one by one and considerately putting them into a small net bag.

In an instant.

The illusion disappeared.

Cheng Han couldn't help but sigh, "I shouldn't have said that the taste of rock pine nuts was good yesterday."

He knew very well that the black cat must have heard this sentence and then found the newly captured mouse little brother, calling a few more cat little brothers to start collecting rock pine nuts all over the city.

It could be fully anticipated that with the black cat's preference for hoarding food, there would definitely be several barrels of rock pine nuts in the house in the next few days.

Even if they ate this stuff three times a day, it would probably last for five or six days.

Put some firewood into the fireplace.

Activate the True Flame Seal again, causing a few sparks to fly out.

Clusters of fiery red tongues of flame instantly filled the fireplace.

The cold house quickly became warm.

Cheng Han leisurely sat on the rocking chair, slowly flipping through the borrowed old manuscript, carefully reading the archaeological insights left behind by Mr. Lin's old friend.

"...The last divine dynasty of the Middle Ages, known as the 'Anggelute' dynasty, had a popular decorative style that conveyed a sense of returning to simplicity and authenticity, whether in architecture or funeral customs.

"In contrast, the major divine dynasties before Anggelute favored intricate and elaborate decorations, as evidenced by numerous excavated artifacts," Cheng Han chuckled.

"Where is the return to simplicity and authenticity?"

It can be certain that the threat of the Divine Banyan was imminent, and the three major divine beings and the Satyr people had to mobilize all resources to resist the invasion of foreign tribes.

When the secrets of the Ruins Key were deciphered, the ancient continent seen revealed traces of extensive warfare on the ground, which is undeniable evidence.

In the face of unprecedented survival pressure, the living standards plummeted, which was almost inevitable.

Cheng Han's thoughts diverged.

"The official manipulation of history on a large scale will definitely leave behind a lot of loopholes. There are surely many intelligent experts engaged in historical research who would not fail to notice.

"Therefore, it can be concluded that the official authorities probably have a group of people closely monitoring the movements of the academic community, dedicated to covering up various loopholes, and perhaps even suppressing scholars who act out of line."

After reading the manuscript records related to the stone coffin, there wasn't much gained.

After all, the results based on a false historical study would have limited value.

Cheng Han only remembered one term - the Anggelute dynasty.

He closed the manuscript and muttered, "This is the last divine dynasty of the Middle Ages. From the lower levels of society to the three major divine beings, there have been drastic changes. There must be a wealth of valuable information. I should focus on studying this period in the future."

Cheng Han thought for a moment and decided to make a deduction.

"Mr. Lin's old friend witnessed the stone coffin with his own eyes, and the stone coffin came from a broken continent of ancient times. This is undoubtedly a connection.

"This person has passed away for several years, but this research manuscript is his lifelong effort. It is definitely a good connection.

"And between these two connections, although it took a long detour, resulting in a significant reduction in effectiveness, it is still worth trying to deduce..."

Cheng Han entered the bedroom and took out the stone box, gazing at the Soulstone.

The original owner of this divine object most likely ruled the ancient continent in the primordial era. Since he wanted to deduce related information, this thing was indispensable.

He held the manuscript, imagining patterns made of flowers, nuts, and seeds, as well as the stone coffin, and silently said, "Deduce!"

His mental value decreased by 1 point.

But there was no feedback.

It failed!

This was normal.

The connection was too weak, lacking key words. The "Search Engine" of the All-Knowing Eye naturally struggled to "search" for the correct answer from the ocean of information.

Cheng Han was not discouraged. He took a deep breath and silently said, "Deduce!"

A surge of coldness rushed in like a tide.

His mental value plummeted significantly.

It succeeded!

Cheng Han felt delighted.

A series of fragmented scenes flashed before his eyes.

The first segment was precisely the funeral described in the manuscript:

Inside a stone coffin carved with terrifying patterns, lay a corpse with slightly golden skin, noticeably larger in size than an ordinary person.

A senior priest wearing a golden robe approached and raised a black blade, effortlessly cutting open the chest of the corpse and placing a black fruit inside.

The old priest turned his body and surveyed the crowd of hundreds of people. With a hoarse voice, he spoke in an unfamiliar language, but Cheng Han understood.

"Everyone, Duke 'MacMaraman' is a descendant of the gods, and his body is...,"

At this point,

The voice suddenly disappeared.

After a brief pause,

The voice continued, "It is very important. After this funeral is over, we will send it to a safe place."

Cheng Han was taken aback and a shocking guess came to his mind.

"The skipped words are most likely a name, could it be the title of a deity? Perhaps it is the formal divine name of the God of Life."

This is the most likely possibility.

He naturally deduced a conclusion.

"Thus, the God of Life must still possess great power. His existence itself has had a profound impact on this world.

"Therefore, the trace of the All-Seeing Eye cannot penetrate his divine title."

The scene suddenly flickered.

The second scene came:

"Boom!"

A deafening sound.

It was the scene of a shattered continent again.

But the location shown in the illusion was different from the last time.

A mountain peak that resembled a towering pillar, along with a vast area of thousands of miles, was shrouded in a dark mist and disappeared into the vast void.

Cheng Han realized, "This should be the continent fragment corresponding to the sarcophagus. Its area is much larger than the previous fragment."

At this moment,

A voice filled with boundless resentment suddenly sounded.

"Macamca..."

Cheng Han also understood.

"Amelia, the eternal curse accompanies you!"

It was the voice of the Dark Earth deity.

Cheng Han was immediately shocked, "Amelia is one of the three major deities. The Dark Earth deity was killed by them, and the Soul Stone still carries its resentment.

"It seems that the black mist that took away the continent fragment was undoubtedly initiated by Amelia, which caused the hatred of the Dark Earth deity.

"This fragment bears the traces of the God of Life. According to Lin Xuebin's words, this deity is a subordinate of Amelia, could it be?"

This was another key piece of information.

To explore the secrets of the God of Life, one could start with Amelia.

Cheng Han immediately thought of a question, "Which deity is Amelia?"

The true name of a deity was definitely high-level knowledge, but he couldn't match it with the three major deities. This was truly embarrassing.

The third illusion came:

In a vast and dim space, a continent floated mysteriously, with a towering peak at its center.

This was naturally the continent fragment taken away by Amelia.

The All-Seeing Eye also provided an additional piece of information—this dark place was called "Ruins."

Just then,

A sudden change occurred.

A voice filled with endless majesty resounded like a thunderbolt.

"You, are guilty!"

The scene instantly disappeared.

The deduction was forced to end.

Cheng Han groaned, feeling as if his brain had been struck heavily.

"Wow!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The impact of the words "You are guilty" had affected his mind.

Cheng Han was extremely horrified.

Heavens!

This was the voice of a deity. It had sensed the intrusion of the All-Seeing Eye!

He never expected that within this continent fragment, the true form of a deity was hidden. This time, he had truly hit the jackpot.

Cheng Han didn't even have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He quickly made a deduction, "Am I in danger?"

The information flashed by.

No danger!

The result showed that the deity was still suppressed, and its power had not yet broken through the protection of Wan Hao Divine Banyan.

Cheng Han devoutly muttered, "Thank you, Divine Banyan! Thank you, supreme power!"

He sighed with great relief, "Fortunately, I have the All-Seeing Eye, such a divine technique."

If it were someone else, even a profound scholar, they would definitely die instantly upon hearing the voice of a deity, their bodies turning into terrifying monsters.

The so-called "not facing the gods directly" was precisely this reason.

And this time, facing the deity, the All-Seeing Eye played the role of a "broadcasting station," invisibly neutralizing most of the power of the deity's voice.

After a moment,

A piece of information emerged.

"Proficiency +1542, proficiency reaches maximum value, All-Seeing Eye upgrades to level 5."

"[All-Seeing Eye]: Can perceive the mysteries of all things. Level 5, mental value limit increased by 13, with a certain probability of triggering passive skills. Current proficiency 1302/10000, mental value 22.6/45.1."

The mental value limit increased by 7 points at level 4, and at level 5, it became 13 points, an increase of 6 points.

Especially the proficiency, it reached a record-breaking four-digit number!

Cheng Han wiped away the bloodstains and grinned, "Peeking at a deity once, although extremely dangerous, does indeed bring a lot of proficiency as a reward."

He felt a bit regretful, "I might be the first person to discover the true form of a deity, but unfortunately, it is hiding in the Ruins. Even if I report it, it would be difficult for the authorities to find it."

In the Nine Great Divine Dynasties of the Medieval Era, I gave each divine dynasty a name. It feels really idle.
