Chapter 130 Where Did the Mirror Go?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Cai finally spoke: "Old Wu, do you mean, like the Sun-Shooting Bow that was once your precious companion?"
Wu Shaogan nodded slightly.
He followed his instincts, using arrows to pry open all the fragments around the hard object before reaching out to pick it up.
Zhong Cai grabbed Wu Shaogan's arm to stop him, saying, "You were worried I'd touch you earlier, but now you're doing it yourself?"
Wu Shaogan paused for a moment, then withdrew his finger.
He explained softly, "I have a feeling it won't hurt me."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you spare a little of your soul to touch it?"
·
If the resources extracted from the sacrifice are unrecognizable, the two people can receive a large amount of information simply by touching them.
This information may not be entirely complete, but it can at least give the two people a general understanding of the resources so that they don't use them incorrectly.
Because the mirror was shattered and the material was of level nine, they were worried that the internal energy would be unbalanced—under such circumstances, touching it might not be safe.
·
Wu Shaogan thought it made sense, and sure enough, he released a wisp of his soul and gently touched the hard object.
In an instant, countless messages flooded in.
Wu Shaogan's expression was somewhat subtle: "A ninth-grade low-level natural treasure, the Eye of Heaven."
Zhong Cai was astonished: "Such an awesome name?"
Wu Shaogan chuckled. His first thought was actually the name of the treasure? Truly worthy of being called A-Cai.
Zhong Cai scratched his face and asked, "Ninth grade, low quality, the lowest grade. I wonder what grade the complete version of this mirror will be."
Wu Shaogan pondered, "The function of the Heavenly Eye is very special."
Zhong Cai asked curiously, "What's so special about it?"
Wu Shao chuckled: "As the name suggests, it allows one to glimpse all things in heaven and earth."
Zhong Cai: "Could you explain it more clearly?"
Wu Shaogan replied, "After injecting Xuan power, through the perspective of the Heavenly Eye, one can see wherever one wants to look."
Zhong Cai was shocked: "That's amazing? There was absolutely no hindrance?"
Wu Shaogan shook his head: "Of course there are obstacles. The stronger the energy field, the blurrier the 'vision' of the Sky-Gazing Eye becomes, and it is easier for powerful people to detect it." He recalled that information and added, "From the Spirit Transformation stage, one can sense being spied on."
Zhong Cai pouted: "Another useless thing."
Wu Shao chuckled and agreed, saying, "So, it was turned into a mirror before."
Zhong Cai: "...That makes sense."
·
Then, Wu Shaogan picked up the box, pulled Zhong Cai along, and they appeared together on the city wall.
Zhong Cai had never resisted Wu Shaogan. After Wu Shaogan stopped, Zhong Cai casually asked, "Old Wu, what do you want to do?"
Wu Shaogan pointed to the blank space above the city gate, where a plaque should have been hung and the city's name engraved.
“I have a feeling that the Eye of Heaven can be embedded here,” Wu Shaogan mused. “It can be integrated into the space.”
Zhong Cai was stunned. He sensed the consciousness of the ancient city—there was no indication of "embedding the Heavenly Eye".
So, where did Lao Wu get this feeling from?
That's so weird!
Wu Shaogan said, "The Eye of Heaven matches the Command Platform very well, and it also matches the Yin-Yang attribute. The mirror's grade must be higher than the ninth-grade low-rank... Ah Cai, those shattered mirror bodies and surfaces are all made from the ninth-grade top-rank materials."
His expression turned slightly serious.
"The meaning behind the fragments is very strong. In its prime, the mirror would most likely be a level nine top-grade treasure!"
"Although we can no longer know what the mirror can do, since its core is the Eye of Heaven, its use should be an extension of its basic function and have the characteristics of a mirror."
Zhong Cai nodded in agreement, then stared at Wu Shaogan with some suspicion: "Are you sure you're not in any danger?"
Wu Shaogan nodded: "Don't worry, Acai, there's no danger."
Zhong Cai felt relieved: "Go ahead and get it set if you want, give it a try."
Wu Shaogan smiled gently.
With a thought, the Heavenly Eye flew out of the box and was indeed embedded in the plaque on the city gate.
Zhong Cai closed the box and put it, along with the fragments inside, into the resource hall.
·
The "Sky-Gazing Eye" was perfectly embedded in the door plaque.
In an instant, the consciousness of the ancient city descended into the minds of Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan.
【Lord Zhong and Lord Wu, please make your choice.】
[Commonly Inlaid Sky-Gazing Eye. Each use requires Mystic Stones, its quality remains constant, it is a common usable treasure, and has no connection to the ancient city itself.]
[The Sky-Gazing Eye has been integrated. From now on, the Sky-Gazing Eye becomes part of the ancient city. After integration, its functions adapt to the ancient city, allowing it to fully utilize its capabilities at the same level as the ancient city. Its quality will continuously improve as the ancient city upgrades.]
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan exchanged a glance.
So, how do you choose?
Zhong Cai asked instinctively, "What's the use of the Heavenly Eye again?"
Then he immediately remembered his old man's explanation not long ago.
Almost immediately, the two made the same decision.
"Merge with the Heavenly Eye!"
When the Eye of Heaven exists alone, it is indeed somewhat useless, but after being integrated with the ancient city, it will have more functions, just like when it was made into a mirror.
Perhaps, it will be a very interesting change.
Not to mention, the Sky-Gazing Eye might be upgraded to an even more terrifying level along with the ancient city—and the two of them have no idea what the upper limit of the ancient city is.
·
Because the two had no disagreement whatsoever, Gu Cheng's consciousness instantly received the message.
A dazzling light shone from the eye that peered into the sky.
The radiance continued to spread, quickly enveloping the entire city tower.
Wu Shaogan embraced Zhong Cai, and together they floated above the ancient city, overlooking all the changes.
The light from the Heavenly Eye spread out from the city tower again, entering the inner and outer cities, and enveloping all the buildings and city walls.
At this moment, the entire ancient city seemed to have gained a wonderful new rhythm, which was very strange.
Zhong Cai couldn't help but complain, "After holding it for a short while, it's like a mirror reflecting light."
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "Indeed, it is as bright as a mirror."
The two looked at each other again.
Zhong Cai couldn't help but say, "Old Wu, are you saying our ancient city will also be turned into a mirror?"
Wu Shaogan immediately joked, "Wouldn't that be so dazzling it blind people?"
Zhong Cai sighed seriously, "The most important thing is that the mirror surface is too slippery. It's unstable when you land on it, and you'll fall."
Wu Shaogan deliberately added, "That is indeed a form of cultivation."
The two of them laughed as they talked.
Although the Heavenly Eye is now of a higher grade than the Ancient City, they do not believe that their companion treasures will be arbitrarily altered by external forces.
·
Half an hour later, a feeling welled up in both of their hearts at the same time.
The Sky-Gazing Eye has completely merged with the ancient city!
Subconsciously, the two of them looked at the plaque on the inner city gate tower.
Zhong Cai laughed: "I hung up a mirror."
Looking at the mirror, Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Ah Cai, look, isn't its shape very similar to the mirror we saw earlier?"
Zhong Cai recalled the scene she saw when the gray fog dissipated and said in surprise, "It really does look quite similar."
However, this is not surprising.
The mirror used to be quite beautiful. The Eye of Heaven had been refined into a mirror for who knows how long. Now that it has merged with the ancient city, it is only natural that it automatically chose that form.
·
The mirror on the gate plaque was full of ancient charm, with a smooth and bright surface. It was actually many times larger than the previous mirror, and its proportions were just right for the inner city gate tower.
Standing in front of that mirror, you can see a very clear image, big enough to hold the image of many people.
Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan and floated to the front of the mirror.
The mirror reflected the faces of two people.
Zhong Cai looked inside curiously and happened to see Old Wu's face reflected in the mirror.
Old Wu wasn't even looking in the mirror; he was looking at him.
Zhong Cai nudged her husband, Lao Wu, and saw an even deeper smile in his eyes before he glanced at himself in the mirror.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
But soon, he looked at his old man, Wu, with a perfectly justified air!
·
The two of them were looking at each other intimately in the mirror.
Zhong Cai was a little puzzled: "Old Wu, has the ancient city sent you a message?"
Wu Shaogan shook his head slightly and speculated, "Perhaps it's about reorganizing and integrating the functions?"
Zhong Cai thought about it and felt it made a lot of sense: "That's right, we need to figure out the new abilities before we can talk about them."
As if in response to them, a short while later, the consciousness of the ancient city was transmitted.
In just a moment, both of them "heard" it clearly.
·
Zhong Cai's eyes widened in shock: "No way?"
Wu Shaogan was also somewhat moved.
·
Today, the "eye that peers into the sky" has become the "eye that sees the sky" of the ancient city.
The original ability to peer into all things in the world is still retained, but because its level has been reduced to the seventh-grade top quality, the range that can be peered into can only contain the energy field of the seventh-grade top quality at most.
When two ancient city lords stand in front of a mirror and express the scene they wish to see in a certain area, the scene will be directly reflected in the mirror. Alternatively, it can be projected into the void in the minds of the city lords.
However, it should be noted that these images are all blurry.
The stronger the energy field, the more blurred it becomes. At the seventh level, you can only see the general area and the outline of the scene.
A powerful being in the Spirit Transformation Realm has a strong subconscious, so when the mirror light sweeps across, one should not linger for more than a breath, nor should one scan back and forth.
Otherwise, there is a risk of being discovered.
·
Zhong Cai commented, "It's called a downgrade, but it's easier to control and the functions are more complete."
Wu Shaogan nodded.
In this way, there's no need to worry about accidentally hitting Nirvana or Heavenly Realm experts.
It is much safer.
·
While exploring the heavens and the earth, the functional divisions are also more detailed.
If two people stand in front of a mirror and choose to look at a single person or a single object, the image will be relatively clearer, while the surrounding environment will appear either blurry or clear depending on the level of the image.
At the same time, city lords can choose the size of the viewing range.
However, the size of the area does not significantly affect the clarity.
The only thing that affects clarity is the energy field within the viewing range.
·
Zhong Cai muttered, "This thing is like a surveillance camera."
Wu Shaogan knew what a surveillance camera was, and said in a low voice, "It's a very useful feature."
In other words, if the two of them want to go to any secret realm, as long as the secret realm is open, they can even see what's inside!
As long as the level of all resources in that secret realm does not exceed level seven.
Of course, if the secret realm is still sealed, it cannot be seen—the rules of the seal follow the laws of heaven and earth and cannot be broken by external forces.
Zhong Cai reached out and touched the mirror.
This thing has even more powerful functions.
·
The even more powerful one is the ability to sense treasures, find treasures, and locate people.
Whenever the two arrive at a certain area, as long as they activate the mirror, the mirror can sense the level and direction of the treasures that exist nearby.
Because the mirror itself is already a level seven top-grade item, even if its perception of level eight and nine is vague, it can still make a general judgment.
Of course, knowing is one thing, but actually being able to get it is another.
Treasure hunting is used for specific treasures.
If Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan need any resources, they only need to use this function to transmit their thoughts... The mirror will then provide many routes, filtering out those that are impossible to obtain and placing routes for unclaimed items at the forefront.
In other words, first try to get your hands on unclaimed items, and if that still doesn't work, then try to negotiate with those who already own them.
This even includes a part of the function for finding missing persons—
If two people go looking for unclaimed resources, but the resources are taken by someone else first, the mirror can still reflect the image of the person who took the resources, providing information such as their appearance, whereabouts, and current location.
The other missing person search function is:
If you have met the person before, the mirror can directly project their location.
If the person's name is known, the mirror can provide several possibilities through precise screening;
If someone doesn't know anything about the information, the mirror can make inferences and provide possibilities based on that person's connection with the two city lords.
And mirrors can sense malice.
If someone harbors strong malice towards the two city lords, and frequently imagines it in their mind or expresses it in their words...
The mirror can collect all this malice and create a malice list.
Even those on the list have a "malice value" rating.
In percentage terms, anyone with a malice level of 60 or higher has already developed murderous intent towards the two individuals.
Those under sixty might still have the potential to turn enemies into friends.
Those who harbor ill will towards the two individuals but pose no threat will also not be included on the list.
After all, that so-called malice was nothing but impotent rage.
·
When Zhong Cai browsed the information to this point, the corner of her mouth twitched.
These days, even mirrors are getting ranked!
But it has to be said that it is also a very useful function - at least through this list, you can know who hates them the most, and whose malice is so strong that they should strike first and kill him.
However, the two of them weren't in a hurry to check the rankings; they were still looking at the mirror's other functions.
·
The mirror can reflect the image of any Taoist soldier.
This includes special Taoist soldiers.
Special Dao soldiers can also sense the "gaze" of the ancient city lord.
At the same time, the Taoist soldiers and the city lord can also communicate through the mirror.
When the city lord uses the mirror to "see" a certain Taoist soldier, a mirror mark will appear on that Taoist soldier's body.
The city lord's voice can be transmitted through the mirror, allowing him to issue commands to the Taoist soldiers.
Once the city lord contacts the Dao soldiers, the mirror mark will be activated.
After becoming a Taoist soldier, one can also touch the mirror mark to apply for contact with the city lord.
...All the functions of the mirror are based on the level of the ancient city, but the function of communicating with the Dao soldiers is not restricted. Even if golden-armored soldiers are summoned in the future, or special Dao soldiers become Nirvana Realm, they can still communicate at any time.
·
Zhong Cai really liked this feature. She grabbed Wu Shaogan's arm and said excitedly, "Now it won't be so troublesome to contact Tang Lie and the others anymore. We can just use a mirror!"
Wu Shaogan looked at Zhong Cai with a smile and said softly, "Ah Cai is right, it's much more convenient now."
Zhong Cai couldn't help but laugh again: "This thing really looks like a cell phone, like the kind I had in my past life. You can make calls and send video calls, and I can even do a do-not-disturb mode on my end!"
Wu Shaogan recalled for a moment, then smiled even more broadly: "Yes."
·
Of course, the mirror also has a very powerful function, which is unique to the command platform.
Design the route forward.
If you enter a secret realm, even if all the images are reflected, you may still miss some of the dangers just by looking at the images.
However, by using a mirror to design the route, one can make a direct selection.
For example, the route with the least danger, and the corresponding dangers are marked;
For example, the route with the most resources should be marked with the exact location of the resources and other nearby dangers;
For example, those that combine both, or other types...
Very convenient.
Even if ordinary soldiers were to explore, the mirror could directly imprint the images into their brains!
Special soldiers, however, would not be so brutal; the mirror would transmit information through the mirror's mark.
Even during military campaigns, mirrors can still be used to create similar routes—revealing the enemy's strength clearly.
·
Upon seeing this, Zhong Cai let out a breath and sincerely said, "I really didn't expect that just by fusing with the Eye of Heaven, so many basic abilities would appear. When the ancient city upgrades in the future, these abilities will upgrade along with it... It's quite terrifying to think about."
Wu Shaogan strongly agreed, and his expression was somewhat solemn.
The two of them are now much more cautious.
·
The ancient city had already maximized its defenses to that level, and the mirror now has the added ability to foresee danger.
It adds a layer of protection to the ancient city and also allows the ancient city to be more proactive.
Moreover, its potential is enormous; the potential of the ancient city is immeasurable!
The two had previously concealed their companion treasures simply because the Command Platform and Altar were powerful, and it was best for them to develop them discreetly.
But if it is actually exposed, it is not that dangerous.
Or rather, the dangers that might arise from exposure should all be within the scope of what the ancient city can handle—because while there are many Dao soldiers, their levels are limited, and while there are abundant altar resources, only alchemists can access them.
Major powers and top experts have no shortage of strong individuals under their command, and alchemists with terrifying sacrificial abilities are not short of money.
Things are different now.
The ability of the Sky-Gazing Eye to see everywhere and find enemies is terrifying.
It will make many people wary, feeling that it is a huge threat.
The ancient city must not be exposed until its defenses and firepower reach level eight or nine.
·
Zhong Cai gripped Wu Shaogan's hand tightly and said solemnly, "Old Wu, we must be careful."
Wu Shaogan said seriously, "Okay."
Just then, the mirror in front of them shone with light once again.
This time, the light split into two, flickering intermittently.
Suddenly, the light condensed and transformed into two mirrors!
Two mirrors appeared, one on the left and one on the right, in front of Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan respectively.
Zhong Cai was taken aback and looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan raised his hand and took the mirror.
Zhong Cai laughed and took it too.
This thing is definitely not dangerous.
It was at this moment that a new message was conveyed from the mirror.
[Key to the Ancient City]
Zhong Cai turned the mirror over and over to look at herself, a happy smile on her face.
Wu Shaogan stroked the mirror surface.
·
The so-called key to the ancient city is actually a reflection of the mirror.
Only the two city lords each possessed one.
It has many uses.
If Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan accidentally get separated, or are in different locations, no matter how far apart they are, the mirror can communicate with each other—it can even display video calls directly in the mirror.
Meanwhile, if the distance between the two is very far, and the inner and outer walls of the ancient city are not separately gathered by the two, but remain as a whole beside one of them...
When the city lord of the ancient city encounters danger without his protection, the mirror will emit light that envelops him and transports him into the ancient city.
When there is no danger, the city lord who is not with the ancient city can also be teleported directly to the ancient city through the mirror to meet up with another city lord.
·
For Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan, this function that ensures they won't be separated and can reunite quickly no matter how far apart they are is what they want and need most!
Zhong Cai would definitely be very excited!
Wu Shaogan, too, put down a burden on his mind.
·
The two were holding a mirror.
Without prior arrangement, they both saw each other's reflections in the mirror.
Zhong Cai looked at Lao Wu with great interest, then at Lao Wu in the mirror, her eyebrows dancing with delight.
Wu Shaogan also touched Zhong Cai's face in the mirror.
Zhong Cai was stunned for a moment, then touched her own face.
For a brief moment, it felt as if he had really been touched by Old Wu.
Out of curiosity, Zhong Cai poked Wu Shaogan's reflection in the mirror.
Wu Shaogan raised an eyebrow and looked at the spot on his arm where he had been poked.
Zhong Cai exclaimed in surprise, "It really has a tactile feel?"
Wu Shaogan searched through the information and thought about it for a while, and then he understood a little.
"It must be because our auras blended together, and we both had mirrors. The resonance between us aroused each other's auras, creating the effect of as if we had actually touched each other."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Then, he suddenly remembered something, and his face turned a little red.
Wu Shaogan paused for a moment as he watched this scene.
He suddenly said, "Perhaps we can give it a try."
Zhong Cai immediately followed suit and said, "Then let's play."
After they finished speaking, they both cleared their throats.
Instead of staying together, they might use the mirror and their scent to create romantic atmosphere...
We'll talk about it later.
·
After a long silence, the two of them seemed lost in thought, both somewhat dazed.
Finally, Wu Shaogan changed the subject, saying, "A-Cai, we can float in the ancient city with our thoughts, but since you can be consecrated at any time, why don't you try flying too?"
At the peak of the Palace-Opening Realm, one can fly, something Zhong Cai had longed for.
Zhong Cai also came to her senses: "Ah, right."
Then, Zhong Cai circulated his profound energy while simultaneously withdrawing his thoughts.
In an instant, he fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.
Wu Shaogan's pupils contracted, and he immediately gave chase!
Zhong Cai panicked for a moment, but quickly and carefully circulated her Xuan power to maintain a balance between her internal and external energy.
Just like when learning to ice skate, how can you not fall?
It's normal to fall from the sky when you're learning to fly.
Zhong Cai narrowly escaped and hovered several feet above the ground, thus dissipating much of the impact.
Wu Shaogan also rushed to Zhong Cai's side, his face full of concern.
Zhong Cai chuckled, controlled herself to fly in front of Wu Shaogan, turned her back, and made a gesture as if she was about to carry him.
Wu Shao had a meal.
Zhong Cai grinned and said, "Old Wu, let me carry you and fly."
Wu Shaogan couldn't help but smile: "Finally, you're letting me enjoy it too?"
Zhong Cai hummed, "See how generous I am!"
Wu Shaogan lay on Zhong Cai's back, his long arms and legs almost completely enveloping her.
But that's okay.
Since the two of them are flying, it won't be a big problem for Wu Shao to fly a little higher.
Then, Zhong Cai carried Wu Shaogan on her back and slowly floated upwards.
...It wasn't that Wu Shaogan was too heavy, but rather that Zhong Cai himself wasn't very skilled at it. With Wu Shaogan on his back, he would be more careful.
·
Zhong Cai is also intelligent; the reason she fell down before was simply because she hadn't practiced before.
Now, with the added encouragement of "not falling off Lao Wu," Zhong Cai cautiously tried it out and soon became quite adept at it.
This time, it was Zhong Cai carrying Wu Shaogan on her back, flying all over the ancient city.
Their laughter echoed throughout the ancient city.
Zhong Cai said in a loud voice, "This is a one-time thing, Lao Wu—"
Wu Shaogan also raised his voice: "Why—"
Zhong Cai continued, "Who told you to be taller—"
Wu Shaogan continued, "You're too late to try and shrink me down now—"
The two laughed and joked.
Zhong Cai simply swayed and flung Wu Shaogan away.
Wu Shaogan deliberately flew backwards for several feet, then flew smoothly forward, chasing after Zhong Cai at great speed.
Zhong Cai hurriedly sped up!
Wu Shaogan followed closely behind!
The two chased each other through the air, one after the other.
"Old Wu, if you can't catch me within a quarter of an hour, you'll be cooking—"
"Once we catch her, it'll be A-Cai's turn—"
This playful frolicking lasted for an hour or two.
With Wu Shaogan as her "sparring partner," Zhong Caifei flew more smoothly, and her several flips and route changes in the air were not hindered at all.
It was like a fish in water.
·
After completing the million sacrifices, Zhong Cai did not sacrifice the remaining 300,000 Dan Yun.
He plans to save up a little more and gather another million to play the Golden Flame Pool 10-pull.
At the same time, Zhong Cai decided to make some more preparations before breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm.
Then he also needed to focus more on cultivating the secret techniques and intensify his search for the last missing secret technique.
In this way...
Zhong Cai thought that perhaps he could also try his luck on the Hidden Dragon List.
If alchemists could also make it onto the Hidden Dragon List...wouldn't that be interesting?
Let's do it!
·
Several hours ago.
In a desolate and eerie mountain wilderness, there are many dark and gloomy underground caves.
The deepest part of it emitted a strange light.
No living creatures approached from the vicinity.
Because everything that used to be close has disappeared.
It's as if it never existed.
·
In a corner of an underground cave, a faint light flickered.
The light was very dim; the faint flickering was almost invisible, only appearing faintly, giving off a very sluggish feeling that made one feel a dense chill if one looked at it for too long.
There are a lot of bone fragments nearby.
The cave wasn't completely sealed off; occasionally, a few gusts of cold wind seemed to sweep in, swirling up the debris and scattering it with a single breath.
This faint light has existed for who knows how many years.
Upon closer inspection, you'll find that it's actually a dusty, gray mirror, and the faint light is coming from its surface.
It's really unremarkable.
It's very subtle.
Not noticeable at all...
·
Suddenly, an obscure power appeared in the sky above this mountain wilderness.
That force was invisible and intangible, it swept across the sky and then fell down with great precision.
He suddenly rushed towards the mirror—
In that instant, the mirror burst forth with brilliant light!
A beam of light shot up, directly clashing with that power!
As one force diminished while the other increased, the mirror's light forcefully blocked that power, yet a sliver still slipped through, about to fall onto the mirror's surface—
The mirror trembled slightly.
It vanished in an instant.
The force failed to touch the mirror and instead fell directly to the ground.
The next moment, this power transformed into a phantom.
It was blurry, and the true appearance of the phantom was unclear.
But upon closer inspection, one can vaguely perceive that the phantom seems to be extremely angry.
·
Zhang Zixu was indeed very angry.
As one of the most outstanding strategists under the main system, he believed himself to be stronger than his colleagues.
When he was summoned by the main system, he was confident even though the world level was higher and others had also been given missions by the main system.
Because Zhang Zixu specializes in harem novels and stallion novels.
They have an incredibly rich experience.
Moreover, his acting skills are far superior to those of other players. He often survives to the end as the protagonist's best friend, and he uses his foresight and schemes to control the protagonist's strength at each stage.
Towards the end of the story, the protagonist often encounters extreme danger, nearly threatening their own lifespan, and needs the assistance of those around them to escape unscathed.
Therefore, he would secretly use his superior luck and strength, which he had developed to surpass the protagonist's, to betray him and prevent the protagonist from ever recovering! Then, as the protagonist's most trusted "brother," he would take care of the protagonist, and no one would suspect him.
It doesn't matter if you suspect the protagonist after he dies, because he has already completed his mission and left.
Moreover, Zhang Zixu usually doesn't openly oppose the protagonist. When he plunders luck, he even tries to avoid conflict with the protagonist. For example, if the protagonist is straight, he mainly targets male characters; if the protagonist is bisexual, he mainly targets those the protagonist doesn't need; if the protagonist only loves men, he targets female characters.
In addition, he will also serve as the protagonist's spiritual mentor, and so on.
As more and more worlds passed, Zhang Zixu became more and more experienced. Every time he befriended the protagonist, it was when the protagonist was at his lowest point. He would often save the protagonist's life or have the protagonist save his life.
·
The main system issued the mission, stating that advanced strategists like themselves could carefully consider it before deciding, as they would face danger but also reap enormous benefits upon success.
Zhang Zixu didn't need to hesitate at all.
However, to show his caution, he pondered the matter like everyone else for the time being and carefully studied the plot after returning home.
Zhang Zixu made thorough preparations before going to discuss things with the main system.
By then, several players had already contacted the main system.
When he arrived, he made the request to travel through time.
·
Zhang Zixu took a huge risk.
In his view, to move around easily in that world, one must have a sufficiently good identity.
So, he's going to replace the elusive Mirror Master, who has feelings for the protagonist but not deep ones.
·
After Wu Shaogan died, his primordial spirit was captured by the mirror, and then his physical body was reshaped, transforming him into the Mirror Lord.
His role is small, so the role is not difficult to play; every appearance is effective, so he is very important; he is not familiar with the protagonist, so the protagonist has difficulty finding flaws; he happens to be the protagonist's uncle, and his experiences are similar to the protagonist's, so it is reasonable for him to treat the protagonist in any way.
This identity inherently provides a huge advantage.
It wouldn't arouse the protagonist's suspicion at all.
Therefore, as long as the main system works, it has a high probability of completing the replacement!
·
As for the specific methods of the adventure...
It's not about replacing the Mirror Master himself, but rather that if he chooses to do so, he can only enter this world when Wu Shaogan is about to die, and with the help of the main system, forcibly enter the Sky-Gazing Mirror!
The main system also approved Zhang Zixu's choice.
Therefore, it cooperated by exerting its power and bringing Zhang Zixu's soul into this world.
The chosen direction was precisely where the Sky-Gazing Mirror was located.
This power from the main system will help Zhang Zixu enter the mirror and make the mirror recognize him as its master.
By then, even if the mirror itself felt that Zhang Zixu wasn't a good match for it, it would be too late.
·
Everything was going smoothly at first.
Even though the mirror was more sensitive than they had imagined, and actively resisted when the power descended, the mirror was already damaged and was no match for the power of the main system.
Just as the power capable of seizing power was about to pull Zhang Zixu into the mirror—
However, another terrifying energy fell onto the mirror.
In that instant, the mirror was swept away.
It was snatched away right under Zhang Zixu's nose.
The main system's power of acquisition didn't even have time to touch the mirror.
A hair's breadth away.
Zhang Zixu's eyes were bloodshot!
·
Thus, Zhang Zixu arrived in this world only as a soul.
Once other players enter, they will possess a native and take their place.
However, once Zhang Zixu's soul is exposed in this world, and the power to seize it given to him by the main system dissipates, he will immediately be under the watchful eye of the world's consciousness, becoming extremely conspicuous.
At that time, he will surely be erased from the world consciousness!
·
Zhang Zixu panicked immediately.
But having devised countless strategies, he did his best to calm himself down.
Then, he barely managed to control this bit of power and quickly traversed the nearby mountains and fields.
Searching quickly...
In any case, we must find a physical body before the power of seizure dissipates!
Regardless of what kind of physical body it is.
·
Zhang Zixu's luck wasn't too bad.
On a cliff not far away, a body suddenly crashed down.
Zhang Zixu rushed forward and instantly entered that body!
The disheveled body suddenly opened its eyes.
