Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 806 The Eye of Truth
Half an hour later, in the private room.

[Note: This "Soul-Burning Refinement" session has ended. Mental Strength +1.63, Mental Resilience +1.52, Mental Resistance +1.37]

[Note: Because the Pioneer's current "Mental Strength," "Mental Resilience," and "Mental Resistance" have reached their current rank limits, this "Soul Burning Refinement" will not be able to further improve them!]

……

Mental Strength: 120 (Current Rank Limit)
Mental resilience: 120 (current rank limit)
Mental resistance: 120 (current rank limit)
……

"call……!"

The cold notification echoed in her mind. Inside the room, Xin Lailai, whose soul flames had gradually subsided, released the elf assimilation state, put down the "Soul Cultivation Manual" in her hand, and felt the spiritual body in her mind, which was much more fulfilling and comfortable than when she relied on gems and equipment to boost it. She breathed a long sigh of relief and a light smile appeared on her face.

Compared to attributes forcibly filled by equipment and gems, the power that you accumulate step by step yourself is always more satisfying to control, no matter when.

"In this way, we won't have to worry too much about the durability of the Spirit Gem during the expedition."

After briefly adjusting to her restored mental state, Xin Lailai nodded slightly and put the temporarily removed Transcendent back into her equipment slot.

In fact, although the Spirit Gems can no longer enhance their mental strength due to the overflow of their rank, it does not mean that they are useless in actual combat.

Just like their past views on the overflow of the Transcendent Set's buffs, although these overflow bonuses don't play a significant role in normal times, when encountering enemies who are proficient at applying debuffs that reduce physical attributes, enough overflow bonuses can often be regarded as an alternative 'debuff shield'.

Take their physical attributes as an example. Under normal circumstances, if they were to encounter a debuff that could reduce their physical attributes from 90 points to 80 points, even if it only lasted for 0.01 seconds, it could pose a fatal risk to them in battle.

After acquiring the "Oath Set +13" and the "Lovebirds Gem (left)," when encountering this level of debuff again, the enemy will be pleasantly surprised to find that the powerful debuff it releases struggles to break through the barriers of protective energy, sword aura, physical resistance, and the energy circulation layer of devouring, and finally manages to be applied to them, but their physical attributes do not change at all. If the opponent has any sense at that time, they will most likely be driven to question their existence by this phenomenon.

In a sense, this is also a niche method of resisting debuffs derived from a notarization mechanism. The only drawback is that the threshold is a little high. You have to completely pull your corresponding physical attributes to the limit of the current level before you can trigger this indirect 'debuff shield' mechanism.

"The Lord's Eye won't be reforged for another two minutes, okay...?"

"I wonder what kind of properties it will have after being reforged, Lai Lai. Do you think it might be reforged into a kind of X-ray vision magic eye specifically for peeping at girls?"

"Well, if you can only see through one layer of clothing, then the Star Luo Domain is probably more useful, right? If you can see deeper, apart from people with special fetishes, normal people probably wouldn't be able to get an erection looking at a bunch of subcutaneous fat layers, blood vessels, and bones."

"Huh, really? But I feel like seeing internal organs would make it even more arousing?"

"That's because Zero's aesthetic sense is too extreme! This is already in the R18G category, you know...!"

After making a few helpless complaints about Ling Yuzi's increasingly distorted aesthetic sense, Xin Lailai gently rubbed her forehead.

Although he didn't actually object to Ling Yuzi's aesthetic sense, and even tried some rather bizarre ways with him in the soul space once or twice, reason told him that if he really let Ling Yuzi promote this aesthetic, their reputation would probably be relegated to the same table as Shan Xi.

"Rui~ Lai Lai, you were so excited when we played last time~!"

"Well, let's keep that separate. Anyway, Lingyu, you need to be a little more careful and stop reading those inappropriate books! At the very least, pick some normal R18 content, and don't keep going for R18G. We're not as perverted as Shanxi, so we need to be a bit more restrained!"

The slightly hesitant cougher made a couple of requests of the girl, then saw Xin Lailai turn her attention back to the trembling Overlord Furnace before her and change the subject:
"Alright, let's stop talking about this for now. Let's be prepared. If this reforged creature turns out to be another traitor like the hypocrite, we'll have to teach it a lesson beforehand!"

"Okay, okay~! Tsk, Lai Lai, if you keep changing the subject like this, people will ask for extra time next time when they go back to the real world~! After all, eight hours isn't enough to begin with~!"

Faced with Xin Lailai's explanation, Ling Yuzi pouted slightly, clicked his tongue, and then set up sealing spells around them while baring his small but sharp fangs and threateningly uttering a vicious threat.

"Uh, we'll talk about that later... Hmm?!"

Humlong——! !

Upon hearing the threat of "Adding a Bell," Xin Lailai's eyelids twitched slightly. Just then, the Overlord Furnace in front of her suddenly trembled, and a fist-sized ball of crimson slurry, accompanied by numerous crimson bubbles, emerged. This immediately brought Xin Lailai back to her senses, her gaze sharpening as she shouted:

"Watch out, they're coming soon!" "Okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yuzi also composed himself, his eyes coldly fixed on the restless Overlord Furnace before him. He aimed all the surrounding sealing spells at the Overlord Furnace, activated his Star Domain, and kept a close eye on the every move of the blood-red mass of molten metal that was gradually emerging from the furnace. Finally—

[Notification: Reforging complete. The current Overlord-level equipment has been changed to...!]

Crash——!!!
A pale blue notification sounded from the edge of their vision, and hundreds of crimson tentacles flew out from the Overlord's Furnace, accompanied by sharp whooshing sounds, and attacked Xin Lailai, who was closest to them.

Sure enough, the overlord-level equipment reforged from lord relics will definitely not behave as well as normal equipment!

Inside the room, facing the scene before her, Xin Lailai seemed to have expected it. Her gaze was icy as she stared at the blood-red tentacles flying towards her, and a violent soul pressure surged out along with the surrounding sealing spells.

boom--! ! !
A dark, oppressive aura erupted from the black-haired youth's body, causing the crimson tentacles charging towards him to abruptly halt. Almost the instant the tentacles paused, the sealing techniques that had been prepared beforehand simultaneously activated, unleashing a powerful sealing force that froze the crimson tentacle, which had left countless afterimages, in mid-air. Finally, under the influence of gravity, it crashed to the ground with a thud, revealing its full form:
It was a cluster of blood-red tendrils resembling nerves, spreading out in a tree-like pattern like a spider web, making it look like a cluster of nerve tissue that had been completely peeled off.

At the very center of the crimson whiskers, a vertical eye woven from crimson threads sat, staring intently in their direction. Its icy gaze sent a piercing, needle-like sensation through them, as if meeting its eyes would allow it to see through their every thought. This was… the Overlord-level equipment obtained after being reforged with the Lord's Eye?
Xin Lailai lowered her head, staring at the blood-red vertical pupils before her that seemed to be filled with a mass of nerve tissue. Her gaze shifted slightly, and the next second, information detected by the amusement park's built-in detection function appeared before her eyes:
[Hint: Detection complete. Since the current Overlord-level equipment belongs to the Pioneer, 100% information about the current equipment has been obtained.]

……

【The Eye of Truth】

Origin: Sanctuary Paradise

Quality: Overlord level
Category: Special equipment

Durability: (None)

Equipment Requirements: Willpower no less than 100/120/150 points

Equipment Effect 1, True Detection (Active): When this equipment is successfully equipped and is in the initial activation state, the "True Detection" ability will be activated, and a detection will be performed on the target within the field of vision. This detection will default to using Willpower as the core judgment attribute. During the detection, an additional 45 points (average of all base attributes × 0.5) judgment bonus will be obtained. When the final Willpower judgment value of this detection is greater than that of the detected target, one of the target's "Ultimate" abilities will be detected.

Equipment Effect 2, True Blood (Passive): When this equipment is successfully equipped and in a fully fused state, the user's vision, brain, and body nerves will be greatly enhanced. The base values ​​of dynamic vision, nerve reflex speed, brain computing power, and thinking reaction speed will be increased by 30.8% (Willpower × 0.2%), and the maximum value will be increased by 154% (Willpower × 1%).

Equipment Effect 3, True Tracing (Active): When this equipment is successfully equipped and the user is in the Potential Release state, the user's soul and physical "vision" is enhanced to the current maximum value that can be tolerated. At the same time, the user can consume soul energy to use the "True Tracing" ability to trace the cause and effect of a specified target or unit.

*Note: This ability will burden both your soul and physical "vision" simultaneously. Please use it with caution.

Rating: 700+++
Synopsis: Legend has it that only the Demon Eye clan, with the most profound bloodline, has the opportunity to awaken the power to see 'truth' over the long years. This is an incredible power that can see through all illusions and understand the essence of things. It is a forbidden Demon Eye that can see into the past and the future.

*Note: The "Eye of Truth" is a bioactive equipment that can only be used after being fused with the corresponding body part. It has three equipment stages: 'Initial Activation', 'Complete Fusion', and 'Potential Release', which correspond to three different willpower assessment requirements of 100, 120, and 150 respectively. If the equipment ability of the next stage is forcibly used before the willpower assessment requirement is met, the user will suffer a "super-massive" willpower backlash.

*Note: The "Eye of Truth" is a bio-active equipment and has no initial durability rating. After fusion, it will gain one of three different durability types depending on the current equipment stage: 'durability equal to the fused body part', 'durability that can heal along with the fused body part', and 'durability that can actively heal the fused body part'.

*Note: "Eye of Truth" is a bio-active equipment. Once equipped, it will be 'permanently bound' to the Pioneer. Under this state, it is impossible to actively unequip it until the equipment's durability is exhausted.

……

This is... a top-tier piece of equipment capable of causal tracing?!

On the branded interface, a large amount of detection information swept across Xin Lailai's vision, and as she looked at the introduction about the "Eye of Truth" in front of her, her breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Truth Tracing Back... That Crimson Lord actually turned a True Eye into a Lord System inheritance item back then?!"

The magic eye of reality.

If the title "Lord's Eye" is an obscure term that few people would guess what it refers to, then the "True Eye" mentioned in the description of "Eye of Truth" is something that anyone familiar with the "Eye of Truth" system has undoubtedly heard of.

The fourth of the Ten Great Mystic Eyes of the Astral Realm, second only to the 'Mystic Eye of Reincarnation', 'Mystic Eye of Destiny', and 'Mystic Eye of Time and Space', is the ultimate bloodline inheritance that only one of the three royal families of the extinct Mystic Eye clan has the opportunity to awaken—the 'Mystic Eye of Truth'.

Even though he wasn't particularly interested in the Magic Eye system, he had heard about this thing quite a few times on the mage's forum.

Many scholars who study the Mystic Eyes even believe that if the royal family of the Mystic Eyes who inherited this bloodline hadn't been so unlucky, being besieged by the gods and many forces in the First Era, causing the 'True Mystic Eyes' bloodline to perish before it could produce a decent peak member, it would have had the potential to compete for the position of one of the three Mystic Eyes.

"This is really... a real steal."

Inside the room, Xin Lailai stared at the blood-red vertical eye on the ground, which looked like it was made of aggregated nerve tissue. Her gaze had undergone a dramatic change.

Without a doubt, the Eye of Truth before us is far more powerful than the counterfeit products circulating in the Astral Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to have extracted even a trace of 'truth' power after two epochs.

All I can say is, play around and joke around, but don't joke about the foundation of a top power.

Although they had just recently complained about the outdated nature of the Lord's Eye, it turns out that even the scraps left behind by such a top-tier power are incredibly valuable, beyond their wildest imaginations.

The only pity is that the True Eye, the raw material for the "Eye of Truth" in their hands, has been worn down by time for too long. As a result, the true essence within it is not comparable to the power of a real True Eye, and probably can't even compare to the "True Sight Mystic Eye," which is the lowest level of the "True Eyes." At best, it can only be considered a Mystic Eye-type equipment with some "truth" characteristics.

However, if it weren't for that, he estimated that this thing would never have fallen into their hands. You know, there have always been soothsayers in the Astral Plane who are dedicated to divination and tracking those top-tier series of Eyes of Truth. If there really is still a genuine Eye of Truth in the world, how could those big shots let this thing fall into the hands of a third-tier junior like them?
To say nothing of the distant past, just consider the leader of their Lai Lai Cult, a top diviner known as the 'Collector of Demonic Eyes.' With his abilities, if the raw materials of this 'Eye of Truth' had even a shred of collectible value, they would probably already be in his possession.

As for whether they can recreate the glory of the True Eye with the 'Eye of Truth' in their hands?
Well... given the power of amusement parks and notary mechanisms, theoretically, if they can make a significant contribution in the future, such a thing is not impossible.

But the problem is, since they have already made enough contributions to bring out a wisp of true essence that has been refined into equipment to the level of a real True Eye, wouldn't it be simpler and more convenient to just acquire a True Eye series True Eye with a much higher content of true essence than the True Eye they have?

After all, in terms of difficulty, even reverting the weakest of the current True Sight Mystic Eyes, the True Sight Mystic Eye, back to the True Sight Mystic Eye is far simpler and easier than reverting a Dominator-level equipment with only a trace of True Sight characteristics to the True Sight Mystic Eye level.
