Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 807 True Peeping Skill
"I just don't know how effective this real-time tracking will be..."

After a brief moment of excitement, Xin Lailai, now calm, gazed at the "Eye of Truth" suppressed on the ground by the sealing spell, a hint of anticipation appearing in her pupils.

He didn't know much about the Eye of Truth and the Power of Truth, but according to the description of the "Eye of Truth" equipment effect, if the so-called "True Tracing" was really the same as they thought, then in the future they would have an extra trump card that could make countless cunning old devils wear the mask of pain.

However, to be honest, even if the final effect of "Eye of Truth" is not of any use to them, based on the first two equipment effects, it is already a top-tier overlord equipment that is exceptionally well-suited to them.

Putting everything else aside, the detection judgment value of up to 199 points and the mechanism that will detect an "ultimate" ability when the will judgment is higher than the opponent's is already a life-saving treasure for them who need to frequently face various powerful BOSSes with extremely high detection shielding levels due to the characteristics of the world or the abyss.

Under normal circumstances, even with the most advanced detection equipment, unless they have a crushing advantage in rank, they will find it difficult to detect a profound level ability when faced with information shielding from an entire world or the complete abyss, even if they stack their detection judgment value to over 200. And these abilities are precisely the ones that have the greatest impact on the outcome of a BOSS battle.

Take the old garrison commander for example. If they had been able to detect the effects of the opponent's Abyss Form in advance, they wouldn't have recklessly depleted the opponent's health bar in human form. Instead, they would have tried to delay as much as possible and waited until they had made proper arrangements before engaging in a final battle with the opponent's Abyss Form.

The Abyss Remnant they encountered at the beginning was another example. Its regeneration mechanism truly taught them an incredibly profound lesson. Later, when they encountered abyssal creatures, they dared not let their guard down unless they saw a proper kill notification or a treasure chest drop.

Aside from these two, Dark Light Alien, Extreme Blade Shadow, Pale Daughter... it can be said that among the powerful enemies they encountered along the way, apart from Uranus who came from the derivative world, none of them failed to bring them 'surprises' in terms of ultimate abilities.

Otherwise, Xin Lailai wouldn't have placed such importance on acquiring detection equipment, even at the cost of squandering a precious opportunity like the Overlord's Forge on the Lord's Eye. This was a genuine psychological trauma inflicted by being beaten to a pulp.

"Speaking of which, Lai Lai, how exactly do you equip this thing? Do you have to gouge out your eyes first before you can put it in?"

"Uh, the park's notary system probably wouldn't be that perverse. It's probably a fusion method similar to Parasyte, right?"

Inside the room, Xin Lailai, who had entered a state of elven assimilation, picked up the "Eye of Truth" that had been sprawled out on the ground. After examining it in her hand for a while, she communicated with Ling Yuzi in her mind:
"Let's remove the seal on it first. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should 'equip' itself directly."

"Okay, then I'll untie it first?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yuzi, who shared a body with Xin Lailai, blinked curiously. With a thought, she released the sealing spell that had been suppressing the Eye of Truth, and then...

Crash——!!

A piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out. Almost the instant the sealing spell disappeared, the "Eye of Truth," which had been looking lifeless, suddenly burst forth. The nerve-like tendrils that made up of it rushed towards the two people's pupils with a sharp whistling sound. With a "poof," they pierced through their eyelids and pupils, and with a muffled groan from Xin Lailai, they burrowed into the optic nerve behind their pupils like earthworms.

[Warning: The Pioneer has been detected fusing with the biological overlord-level equipment "Eye of Truth," and is currently enduring "super-massive" neural pain...]

Om-! !

The next instant, a piercing buzzing sound exploded in their minds, and an unimaginable pain erupted from their brains, spreading rapidly from their foreheads to their entire bodies. They staggered and half-knelt on the ground, beads of cold sweat seeping from their foreheads and backs. Their facial features became ferocious and distorted under the intense pain, and their vision turned into a blurry, blood-red blur.

If observed using the Star Luo Domain, it can be seen that at this moment, in both their physical bodies and souls, tiny blood vessels, as thin as blood cells, are rapidly spreading from their bodies like the roots of an old tree, quickly merging with the corresponding nerve parts in their physical bodies and souls.

Visual nerves, motor nerves, central nervous system...

Inside the room, as time passed, the blood-red vertical eye floating before their eyes, like a ball of yarn being pulled out of its thread, began to shrink and thinner. And at the very moment when the last thread of blood that made it merged with them amidst the intense pain that penetrated to their very bones and soul—

[Note: Fusion complete. Since the Pioneer's current willpower is 154 points, this fusion has directly reached the "Potential Activation" stage.]

Wow——! !

Finally, with a cold notification tone, an indescribable coolness suddenly spread through Xin Lailai's mind, causing her consciousness to momentarily daze, and the whole world to feel unusually clear and slow.

[Note: Due to the "Eye of Truth" equipment effect, the current base values ​​of dynamic vision, neural reflex speed, brain computing power, and mental reaction speed are increased by 30.8% (directly increasing the value to 109.65 points), and the maximum value is increased by 154% (directly increasing the value to 548.24 points)]

[Note: Due to the "Eye of Truth" equipment effect, the current physical and spiritual "vision" has been increased to the current maximum tolerance value.]

A full 30.8% increase in base reaction speed and a 154% increase in the upper limit.

At first glance, 30.8% might not seem like much, but you should know that this is the same base value bonus as their "Basic Passive - Extreme Shadow", and it can benefit from their Grandmaster Passive and Spirit Summoning Acceleration.

Based on their current Grandmaster passive skill's total 100% reaction speed boost, this 30.8% bonus can actually be considered as 61.6%. And this is only at Tier 3. When they reach Tier 4 and the Grandmaster passive skill breaks through to LV.40, this increase will only be more exaggerated.

As for physical and spiritual vision, to be honest, Xin Lailai hadn't paid much attention to this aspect in the past. After all, with the improvement of their agility, their current vision was already quite exaggerated compared to when they were ordinary people, the kind that could clearly see the face of someone from twenty or thirty kilometers away. And now...

"Hiss... This field of vision and precision, it feels like we could locate spells directly with our naked eyes?!"

Inside the room, Xin Lailai staggered to her feet, shook her head, covered her eyes, and took a deep breath of the pure air filtered by the air purifier. A look of shock appeared in her pupils.

Cellular level.

Indeed, with their eyes focused, they can now achieve observational precision comparable to that of an optical microscope. Moreover, although they cannot make specific confirmations due to being indoors, Xin Lailai has a feeling that even if they are hundreds of kilometers apart, they can clearly see each other's every move.

"As expected of a top-tier piece of equipment made with the True Eye of Truth, the effects are truly exaggerated..."

Xin Lailai took a deep breath, slowly lowered her hand that was blocking half of her vision, and carefully walked around the room twice to adapt to the greatly improved nerve response and visual accuracy. She couldn't help but sigh in her mind.

Although he hadn't been particularly interested in magical eyes in the past, after experiencing their effects firsthand, he suddenly understood why so many mages and spellcasters were so eager to acquire a top-tier magical eye.

Even though it's an external thing that shouldn't be relied on too much, they have to admit that this thing is indeed a huge help to mages and spellcasters.

Keep in mind that what they are experiencing now is only a 'super-weakened version' of the Mystic Eye. If they were to receive the full, genuine Mystic Eye bloodline, the enhancements and improvements would be even more exaggerated.

"Tsk, why do I suddenly feel like going to the Naruto world and gouge out a couple of eyes to study?"

Xin Lailai thought to herself with a touch of wicked humor, but then shook her head, banishing the silly thought from her mind.

For them now, the world of Naruto, which is not a system of external power, can only provide them with some extra money and cannot offer any real help.

As for bringing over two 'Rinnegan' or even a 'Six-Tomoe Rinnegan'? Putting aside the exorbitant notarization fees for bringing these things out, in terms of research value alone, although these two things do have intricate connections with the strongest Mystic Eye in the Astral Plane, the 'Rinne Mystic Eye,' the connection lies more in the causal relationship between the imitation and the genuine article, rather than in the origin between Mystic Eyes.

If we're really talking about the connection between the origins of the Demon Eyes, their connection with the 'Demon Eye of Reincarnation' is not even as strong as their connection with the 'Eye of Truth' and the 'Demon Eye of Truth'. After all, the former is just a copycat product created by Paradise, while the latter is a genuine derivative of the Demon Eye of Truth.

The difference between these two is like that between an Aragami and an Ancient God. They seem similar, but when an Aragami truly wants to transform into an Ancient God, it will find that the seemingly similar aspects are actually the biggest obstacle to its advancement. This is the principle of "those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die" in the transcendental system. Of course, if one simply wants to develop towards the Mystic Eye system, the pile of eyeballs in the Naruto world and the Mushoku world is indeed a decent transitional option.

Although as a product of a derivative world, it will be moderately to significantly weakened after being brought out due to world compatibility issues and the effect of the notarization mechanism, for those contractors in the top tier, this thing is already the one with the lowest threshold among the Magic Eye system bloodlines that can be obtained.

"Phew... I've finally gotten used to it. Next, it's time to test the effectiveness of real-time tracking."

After circling around the room for more than ten minutes, Xin Lailai finally got used to the enhancement brought by the "Eye of Truth" and breathed a sigh of relief. She moved her hands and feet a couple of times, which no longer experienced the "bullet time phenomenon" due to the significant increase in reaction speed, before calming herself down and looking at the branded interface and the scene in front of her with some anticipation.

Authentic traceability.

Judging from the description and the reforging potential points it occupies, this thing is the core ability of "Eye of Truth." As for how it is activated...

"Hmm... I guess all I need to do is infuse my soul energy into my eyes?"

"Let me see. According to the description on the equipment, it should be about right. As for the designated target..."

Inside her private room, Xin Lailai communicated with Ling Yuzi in her mind while looking around for a suitable item to activate True Tracing.

"I've got it! Let's test this out first!"

Finally, his gaze shifted and landed on something on the bookshelf:

It was a small paper machine, and judging from its appearance, it seemed to have been modified. At the paper outlet, some dried pulp residue could still be seen clinging to it. On the side of the paper machine, several large characters written in golden-red pulp could be faintly seen:

'Paper Emperor's Special Use'

"Tsk, why do I suddenly have this urge to take this thing apart..."

"Lai Lai, really... This is Xiao Bai's hard work, you know? Xiao Bai will be sad if you take it apart, won't he?"

"...Forget it, let's just use it to test the effect of real tracing. With the causal capacity of the Paper Emperor, even if something goes wrong during the tracing, it shouldn't affect us."

在零余子的提醒下遏制住了脑中对某个异常欠揍的小纸人的不快感的辛莱莱轻啧了一声，开口道，同时操纵灵魂能量朝他们那被「真实之瞳」改造过的视觉神经涌去：
Om-! !

In an instant, an intense sense of being devoured erupted from their pupils. Their previously unremarkable visual nerves, stimulated by a large amount of soul energy, began to devour their soul energy like a ferocious beast awakened from its trance.

Moreover, as it continued to devour them, their vision began to fade rapidly amidst waves of burning pain. Most of the things they could see changed from vibrant, normal scenes to a hazy gray, with only the small paper machine that they had locked onto with their mental power still retaining a faint color.

Is this what we see after enabling "Real-Time Tracking"?

In the gray world, Xin Lailai steadied herself and moved her gaze toward the papermaking machine, and then...

Wow!
Almost the instant Xin Lailai focused her gaze on the papermaking machine, a large number of faint, pale white lines floated directly out from it. When she focused her gaze and consciousness on one of the thin lines, a large number of images flashed through her pupils like slides.

In the scene, you can see a tiny paper figure flowing backwards from the paper machine's output, then being ejected from the input, and then, like walking in the moonwalk, walking backwards from the table all the way back to their room's door, then onto the doorknob, through an alleyway filled with flyer remnants, and a unique little paper figure battling against a large number of unfamiliar paper figures...

This is... the past of the Paper Emperor?
So, is the ability to trace the past of people who came into contact with an object based on the cause and effect present in it?!

Realizing that the effect of the true traceability was similar to what they had imagined, Xin Lailai's eyes lit up, and a playful look appeared in her eyes.

With this ability, when they encounter those cunning old foxes who like to hide in the shadows in the future, they will definitely be able to give them a huge 'surprise' and let them experience what it means to be truly 'wise but not as good as supernatural power, and cunning old foxes are no match for those who have cheat codes.'

"Hey Lai Lai, over there seem to be two causal lines that are a little different?"

Just then, Ling Yuzi's voice suddenly rang out, and Xin Lailai, upon hearing it, subconsciously looked in the direction the other party had pointed out:
Those were two thin lines of cause and effect. Judging from the brief images that flashed across them, they were the lines of cause and effect corresponding to Xiaobai and the Paper Emperor, respectively. However, unlike other lines of cause and effect that flowed inward from the outside towards the papermaking machine, these two thin lines of cause and effect started from the papermaking machine and flowed outward.

Could this direction be...?
In an instant, Xin Lailai stared at the two unusual causal lines before her, as if suddenly realizing something. Her breathing quickened, and she looked eagerly at the causal line corresponding to the Paper Emperor, as if she had discovered an incredible treasure. The next second:
Wow!
A flurry of images flashed by again, but this time, they weren't in reverse. Instead, they showed the Paper Emperor emerging from the papermaking machine, thanking Xiao Bai, making boastful remarks, and then turning away with an arrogant and domineering air. Moreover, as they watched, the images began to rush by rapidly, until finally—

"Kill!" "For the Heavenly Emperor! Charge!"

"The heavens are dead! Paper figures shall rise! We shall establish the Heavenly Court and seize the mandate of heaven!"

The scene before them suddenly shifted to a vast "battlefield" filled with paper figures and various paper bubbles. In the center of the scene, the Paper Emperor, whom they had met not long ago, stood majestically, holding a large paper sword, floating outside the wall, overlooking the entire battlefield amidst the blazing sun and lightning. Above his head, several striking and imposing gold-plated characters floated:

"You worthless scoundrels, why don't you submit?!"

"..."

Is this guy really going to pull out a super paper doll army in the amusement park?
Xin Lailai, who was briefly silenced by the Paper Emperor in the picture, stared at the paper figure in the picture that had given her various special effects. Her eyes twitched slightly, but she shook her head, took a deep breath, and revealed an extremely ardent look in her pupils.

Never mind that, the most important thing now is that they have successfully confirmed it—

Their "Eyes of Truth" can not only trace back to the past, but also follow the cause and effect left by the other party... directly tracing back to the present that is happening now!!
"Hmm... if that's the case, it seems like we can use it to peep at other girls! Lai Lai, should we peep at what Sister Deathkeeper is doing? Maybe we'll see her having a sex scene with Little Lorna!"

"...Zero, can't you talk about something serious for once? I finally managed to get excited."

"Hmm... how about I peek at Sister Shanxi?"

"She'd definitely find out, wouldn't she... By the way, why is all you thinking about, Zero, is spying?"

"Because, peeping is really fun, you know. Lai Lai, don't you often peek at other people's diaries too?"

"Well, let's put that aside. And couldn't you put it another way? The term 'peeping' just doesn't sound quite right..."

"Hmm, then let's just look..." "Alright! Let's talk about peeping instead!!"
