Chapter 508: Chapter 251: Three-Eyed Deities, Divine Path of Three Eyes, Awakening the Third Eye, Return of the World Consciousness!
"However..."
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes, carefully observing the Three-eyed Creatures collecting items on the beach. Despite not understanding their language, Lu Sheng could decipher some information from their expressions.
"Among the Three-eyed Creatures in this world, those with open third eyes seem to have a higher status than those with closed third eyes!"
"This little creature that picked me up seems to have a very low status among the Three-eyed Creatures because of its closed third eye."
Lu Sheng continued to observe his surroundings as he spoke.
As time passed, this group of young Three-eyed Creatures kept collecting items on the beach, but many still had empty hands.
This caused several Three-eyed Creatures with open third eyes to display displeasure on their faces.
Some even waved their hands, yelling loudly at those whose third eyes hadn’t opened, venting their frustration.
The skinny youth hid Lu Sheng in his arms and endured the insults with his head down, without retorting.
Eventually, the leading opened-eyed youth seemed parched and stopped the insults, waving his hand and leading the group away from the beach towards the jungle behind them.
Lu Sheng was also secretly taken back by the skinny youth.
Watching this unfold, Lu Sheng pondered, "I’ve gathered quite a bit of language data. First, I’ll return to my main body to figure out this world’s language. Otherwise, even if I enter their tribes, not understanding their language will be futile!"
Saying this, Lu Sheng’s consciousness returned to his main body, using Star River University’s language translation device to input the collected linguistic data.
It didn’t take long for the device to translate the creatures’ language into the Federation’s language.
After a brief learning period, thanks to the powerful learning ability of a Tier-Seven Cosmic Lifeform, Lu Sheng mastered this world’s language in just dozens of minutes.
After accomplishing this, Lu Sheng’s consciousness returned to the world of the Three-eyed Creatures.
However, upon his return, Lu Sheng was astonished to find himself placed in blood water by the skinny youth.
"What’s going on?"
Lu Sheng was initially stunned. After looking around, he discovered the skinny youth who secretly brought him back was standing in front of him, looking devout, holding a small knife.
The youth’s face displayed determination as he opened his eye and used the knife to cut open his still-closed third eye.
Through the cut, one could see a hollow space behind it.
Then, the youth muttered words of prayer, and after finishing, reached out with both hands, solemnly placing Lu Sheng’s blood-red stone form into the cavity.
Listening to the youth’s prayer words.
"This guy..."
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes slightly, observing the youth, eventually understanding the youth’s intentions.
Previously, Lu Sheng was unfamiliar with this world’s language, but after leveraging Star River University’s technology to successfully learn it, Lu Sheng combined the conversations heard on the beach and gained some insight into this world.
"Is he trying to use me to open his third eye?"
Lu Sheng mused, with a slight tinge of resignation in his voice.
This world exists on a Life Planet outside the Human Federation’s exploration range, and the creatures here have a unique cultivation system called the Three-eyed Divine Path!
The so-called Three-eyed Divine Path involves opening one’s third eye to give birth to an Innate Divine Spirit within.
Once they can open their third eye and birth an Innate Divine Spirit, these Three-eyed Beings can summon the spirit’s shadow for combat.
Furthermore, the different spirits possess various unique powers.
If cultivated to the highest degree, they can merge the Innate Divine Spirit born from their third eye with themselves, ultimately replacing the spirit and standing at this world’s pinnacle!
However, the birth of an Innate Divine Spirit is extremely challenging; among thousands of Three-eyed Beings, perhaps only one can achieve it.
The vast majority pursue the path of the Acquired Divine Spirit.
The Acquired Divine Spirit involves using special items to forcibly open their third eye, incubating the spirit within.
Innate Divine Spirits are naturally more powerful by far, yet Acquired Divine Spirits are still treasures highly sought after by countless Three-eyed Beings.
After all, in this world, most Three-eyed Beings may never open their third eye in their lifetime.
Therefore, these peculiar items are regarded as invaluable treasures to the Three-eyed Beings.
Earlier, on the beach, this group of Three-eyed youths was searching for such items.
"So, this guy is treating me as a peculiar item that can open the third eye!"
As the youth placed Lu Sheng in his third eye, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but feel amused.
"But according to what this little guy said... It seems he bears a blood feud!"
Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled the youth’s soliloquy during this time.
According to the youth, he carried a blood feud on his shoulders, and it was because of this blood feud that he had no choice but to live under someone else’s roof, becoming a slave to a certain three-eyed person!
However, despite this, the youth possessed a special family technique handed down through generations. It was precisely because of this special family technique that he sensed the extraordinary nature of the red stone formed from Lu Sheng’s blood.
Thus, he regarded Lu Sheng’s blood clone as a peculiar object capable of opening the third eye.
"This guy..."
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, yet he didn’t resist.
Although Lu Sheng was currently limited to the initial stage of the first rank due to the world’s restrictions, his essence still belonged to that of a seventh-rank cosmic life. Even now, under restrictions, he was just a stone, but if Lu Sheng truly wanted to resist, this ordinary three-eyed youth wouldn’t be able to shake him.
As the youth placed Lu Sheng into his third eye, he began to mutter as if performing some kind of ritual.
Yet, as time passed, there was still no change in the youth.
When the youth opened his eyes again, they were filled with sorrow and unwillingness.
"In the end, it’s still not working? Why... why can’t I open my eye!"
The youth, unwilling, struck the wall fiercely with his fist. His already weak and ordinary fist instantly broke his skin, and blood oozed out.
Lu Sheng looked at the youth and fell into contemplation.
"This little guy... can be used."
"Due to this world’s restrictions, I can’t restore my physical body in a short time, so I might as well use this little guy’s body to take a look at this world."
"After all... he harbors a blood feud, so it should be easy to persuade him!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then, through his consciousness, slowly spoke to the youth.
"Do you want revenge?"
Lu Sheng’s voice reached the youth’s ears, causing the youth’s body to tremble slightly. He instantly looked around cautiously, like a startled rabbit.
"Who! Who’s speaking!!"
The youth’s face was full of vigilance, his nerves taut.
"You don’t need to know who I am; I just want to ask you..."
"What are you willing to give for revenge?"
Lu Sheng’s voice continued, and the youth remained highly alert, constantly scanning his surroundings, yet he saw no figure.
Eventually, the youth began to immerse himself in Lu Sheng’s words.
A moment later, the youth slowly raised his head, a flicker of undeniable hatred in his eyes.
"As long as I can have my revenge, I am willing to give everything!"
The youth clenched his fists, waiting for Lu Sheng’s response.
"In that case... I hope you won’t regret it later!"
Lu Sheng spoke lightly, then with a slight movement of his mind, the blood clone that was originally just a stone suddenly wriggled.
In an instant, it transformed into a crimson eyeball.
The eyeball emitted a strange red glow.
The youth noticed the change in himself, quickly found a mirror, and looked at his reflection, startlingly seeing that his third eye had transformed into a crimson eyeball.
"I... I’ve opened my eye!!"
"I really opened my eye!!"
When the youth saw this scene, he became ecstatic, even having tears of excitement streaming down from the corners of his eyes.
However, just as the youth indulged in the joy of opening his eye, a sudden muffled thunderclap boomed across the sky.
Rumble!!!
The muffled thunder resonated, as if the heavens and the earth trembled with its explosion.
Lu Sheng’s gaze suddenly shifted to the sky.
"This sound... is the world’s consciousness beginning to resist!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, for with the thunderclap’s explosion, he could clearly feel that the restrictive Power of the World had grown much stronger.
