"Kid, it's been five years! I've been looking everywhere for you!"
A unique sound came from the universe, and the medium through which this sound propagated was established in the void, which was beyond Jiang Yuan's imagination.
"The Eye of All Heavens?" Jiang Yuan stared in astonishment at the giant eye before him as his consciousness coalesced.
"Your soul has dissipated and your physical body has lost its vitality. I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be reborn in another way by combining your consciousness with the Soul of Mending Heaven. You are truly skilled and daring!" the Eye of All Heavens praised.
Jiang Yuan felt no excitement at surviving, because his life was built on the lives of millions of people in Nancheng, and almost everyone around him was dead.
"Alas, using the Soul of Mending the Heavens as your soul is not a long-term solution, and you have lost too much of your inheritance. You won't even be able to reach the end of the Spirit Realm!" The Eye of All Heavens was quite familiar with Jiang Yuan's current state.
"I've condensed my own divine spark, so there shouldn't be any major problems with cultivation! As for the inheritance, I can only search for it slowly!" Jiang Yuan had no other choice but to compromise with reality.
"Silly boy, the fact that the companion god dared to give you an eternal life contract means they are confident that you can be transformed into a battle spirit. Finding your physical body and soul back is just wishful thinking!"
"However!"
The Eye of All Heavens paused for a moment.
"But what?" Jiang Yuan looked up when he heard the tone of the Eye of All Heavens.
"This is not a bad thing. Although your body and soul have been sacrificed to the source, as long as you are reassembled, the benefits you will receive will not be less than before!" the Eye of All Heavens said meaningfully.
"Didn't you just say you couldn't find it?" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
"Your soul and body are definitely gone, but you have a body now, don't you? Besides, the Soul of Mending Heaven isn't incapable of being the main body of a soul, it just can't exist in a single form. As long as you cultivate slowly afterward, your consciousness will remain, and your soul will be reshaped, it'll just be a bit more difficult!"
After saying this, the Eye of All Heavens sighed and warned, "The path of cultivation is not always smooth sailing; dying occasionally is not a bad thing!"
"I used the Wheel of Fate twice, the Six Lines of Life, and twenty-four times the balance between life and death. I call this occasional death!" Jiang Yuan was speechless. By this calculation, he had died thirty-two times. However, it was precisely because of the excessive number of deaths that he was finally able to activate the Heart of Death and launch a desperate counterattack.
"Let's not talk about the past anymore. Your most important task now is to reactivate the Heavenly Eye System!"
"Can I still activate the Heavenly Eye System?"
"nonsense!"
The Eye of All Heavens, having held back for five years, spoke exceptionally well this time. A sly glint flashed in its enormous, dark pupils as it said, "If I had put all my eggs in one basket, I would have been killed countless times by those hypocritical gods!"
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuan asked doubtfully.
"You should have seen my subsystems before, right?" the Eye of All Heavens said mysteriously.
"What subsystem?"
"Insight, you've seen this several times already, and you've forgotten it after five years?" the Eye of All Heavens teased.
"Is that your subsystem?" Jiang Yuan asked with a strange expression.
"This is my backup plan. If you die, I'll have to find another host!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
“These subsystems are all manifestations of my power, so once you gather more than 50%, I will be able to re-establish a link with you!” the Eye of All Heavens explained.
"Wait, how many did you divide in total?"
Jiang Yuan's intuition told him that this matter was definitely not that simple.
"A thousand or so, I guess. I've been bored these past few years, so I've sent out a few whenever I have free time!" the Eye of All Heavens said thoughtfully.
"I..." Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred. More than half of the thousand or so were needed, which meant he needed to find more than five hundred insights, and that didn't even include those that came from the core.
In the past, he might have found it easy, but now that he's lost his Heavenly Eye, what will he use to unlock the core? His face? Or his lifespan?
"Is there an easier way?" Jiang Yuan asked.
More than 500 insights are simply beyond human comprehension!
"Then there's nothing we can do. This is all we can do for now! But don't be discouraged. It's very easy for me to find these subsystems. I can retrieve the subsystems that the other party is bound to without them noticing, even from a hundred meters away!" The Eye of All Heavens wanted to give Jiang Yuan some confidence, so he said some encouraging words.
"It's time to start preparing. I've been absent from this big stage for five years now, and those who have passed away have waited too long!"
Jiang Yuan calmly withdrew from the Heavenly Eye Space. He kept the words of the Eye of All Heavens in mind, but he dared not use the core while he was currently in the Blue Hidden Divine Mountain. The core was originally a reward given to the human race on Earth by the battlefield. If he used it here, he would inevitably be discovered by the powerful Holy Spirit Clan, and the consequences would be dire.
"You're awake. Are you alright?"
The moment Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, he saw Bu Yao wiping his face. He had killed many people during his Ghost Burial, and his body was covered in blood.
"Where's Xiaoxiao?" Jiang Yuan asked his daughter as soon as he woke up. He was able to exit his demonic state thanks to Xiaoxiao's Fairy Linglong, and he was also able to reconnect with the Eye of All Heavens because of Fairy Linglong.
"She was resting before, and she should be having a cultural class now!" Bu Yao explained. Because of her identity, Jiang Xiaoxiao also learns human culture while cultivating in the Holy Spirit Clan.
Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ni's safety was more important than his own life. If anything happened to her, he would definitely collapse.
"Give this back to Xiaoxiao!" Jiang Yuan handed the Immortal's Exquisite Jewel to Bu Yao, and instructed, "This is a treasure, so Xiaoxiao must keep it safe! Or, you can keep it for her and return it to her when she's older!"
