"Alright, then I'll take what I'm owed!" Liu Zhaodi then took out one-tenth of the transaction amount from her storage ring, which was the agreed-upon commission.
After the transaction was completed, Jiang Yuan did not linger at the Liu family's house. He took the things he got from Liu Zhaodi and returned to the base. He first gave the forging materials to Shi Xuyao and the others, and then entered the underground palace alone to start upgrading the Heavenly Eye.
Although he only obtained more than seven million ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones in this auction, he had already taken several million from the exchange warehouse and obtained several million more after killing the Thousand-Faced Asura, so his assets were more than enough.
"Should we use ten million ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones to upgrade the Heavenly Eye to a Spirit-level system?"
The mechanical voice of the Heavenly Eye came, and Jiang Yuan clicked "yes" without hesitation. He saw the Holy Spirit Stones in his personal space gradually decrease until the last ten million disappeared.
Jiang Yuan thought the upgrade process would go smoothly, but he never expected that his consciousness would be taken to another space by the Heavenly Eye.
Where is this?
Jiang Yuan sensed something was wrong as soon as his consciousness appeared, because the space he was in was nothingness, completely different from his previous world. Moreover, he could deduce from the images that this place was likely a little-known place in the universe.
"Are you curious why I dragged you here?" The Heavenly Eye appeared, but this time in a strange way. In the endless void, it was as if a giant eye had opened from the darkness, now staring at all things between heaven and earth.
"You are the Eye of All Heavens?" Jiang Yuan recalled the name that the Lord of War had mentioned more than once.
"It seems that the person I chose this time has already reached the realm of gods!" A wisp of purple light appeared deep within the pupil of the dark giant eye.
"Why did you bring me here?" Jiang Yuan looked around, but didn't get any useful information. He didn't know what Tianyan's intentions were.
The giant, dark eye focused its gaze and then said, "You should leave this place. I sense a strong sense of danger from where you are hiding! This is my last chance. I don't want to bury the hope that has been built up over millions of years because of your premature death!"
"Are you referring to the crisis in Nancheng?" Jiang Yuan asked thoughtfully before adding, "It's alright, I'll leave if things get complicated!"
“In principle, I cannot interfere with your choices, but I hope you can live long enough to fully unseal me. After all, I am one of the few traitors willing to help humanity!” the dark giant eye said coldly.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. The Eye of All Heavens conveyed a lot of information. For example, the first one was that the Heavenly Eye he currently possessed needed to be continuously upgraded to become the true Eye of All Heavens. Another one was that the Eye of All Heavens had a close relationship with the human race and was once the person behind the battlefield, but it rebelled for some reason.
"Then, the current Sky Eye isn't you?" Jiang Yuan felt it necessary to clarify something.
"It's just a fragment of my soul; I need the right opportunity and a large amount of energy to unseal it," the dark giant eye explained.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yuan asked, "Is the Heavenly Eye I possess now essentially different from yours?"
"It is me, but not entirely me! What you possess now is a weakened version of the Eye of All Heavens, made to adapt to the current battlefield rules. You can use many of my abilities, but not all of them, and you can only communicate with me in one direction, like right now! Only I can summon you, and you cannot sense me!" The dark giant eye opened and closed mysteriously in the void.
"Okay, so besides warning me to leave Nancheng, what else do you want to do this time?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.
"This upgrade isn't just about the Sky Eye, it's about you too!"
"I?"
Jiang Yuan pointed to himself, completely baffled.
"Your current pupil technique can no longer fully support the Heavenly Eye, so you need to further strengthen it to adapt to the upcoming Heavenly Eye!" The dark giant eye disappeared in the void, but reappeared in front of Jiang Yuan.
Shocking, utterly shocking. That gaze seemed to contain the entire universe. Jiang Yuan only glanced at it and felt an urge to be forever captivated by it.
"Your cultivation level is too low to look me in the eye. Close your eyes and accept the enhancement!" The dark giant eye seemed to have guessed Jiang Yuan's thoughts, so it immediately made Jiang Yuan close his eyes.
Jiang Yuan did as instructed, and just as the Eye of All Heavens had said, the feeling of being lost subsided after he closed his eyes.
"Of the hundreds of hosts I selected, only three possess all attributes, and you are one of them. Therefore, you have two more areas to strengthen!" the Eye of All Heavens praised.
"So, you've been on hundreds of battlefields?" Jiang Yuan asked subconsciously.
"Destroying a universe only requires nine battlefields, where would I get hundreds of battlefields to experience!" The Eye of All Heavens was speechless. Seeing that Jiang Yuan was still confused, it explained, "Although I have hundreds of hosts, it's because when a host dies, I have to be sealed away and then find the next host. Then the host dies again and I'm sealed away again, until my power can no longer interfere with the battlefield."
Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile, "So, the mortality rate for your host is quite high!"
