Chapter 332
332 The World 2
Chapter 332 332 The World II
Perhaps it was the reunion with acquaintances from the past that helped Lin Hui recover somewhat from the emptiness he felt.
After completing his daily observations and records of the earth's energy, he began to determine the next target for the evolution of the Blood Seal.
Inside the study.
Lin Hui sorted out everything he needed now.
'The environment has degraded, but my personal strength is now more than sufficient for safety. The array's movement mechanism has also evolved, making it extremely fast. We can now largely produce and supply most of our resources internally. Drinking water is no longer a problem.'
At first glance, it seems that nothing is really needed anymore.
'Since that's the case, let's try evolving life-extending items. Better safe than sorry. Since the current environment doesn't allow for more life-extending items, I'll try making them myself.'
'Items that don't extend lifespan are gone once used, since they're only for one-time use. Lifespan-extending techniques, special organs, abilities, or talents are much more suitable.'
After careful consideration, he focused his attention on the life-saving technique—Eye of Life.
The Eye of Life, a special organ that can increase the number of times he can survive over time, is arguably his greatest source of confidence in protecting the lives of his family and friends.
This ability can transform the eyes into special organs capable of storing up to ninety-nine active life-restoring spells.
Now, as time goes by, the Eye of Life has accumulated enough reserves for about three full recovery cycles.
With the idea of giving it a try and even if it didn't extend his lifespan, he might be able to develop a better passive life-saving technique. So Lin Hui decided to conduct a new evolution test based on the Eye of Life.
The active use of the Eye of Life has too many limitations; if you don't have enough mental energy to use it, it's essentially a waste.
At this moment, he sat cross-legged in his study and lit an incense stick.
With a thought, the shielding array automatically activated. A red glow flashed across the surrounding walls and floor.
Only after doing all this did he begin to draw blood marks, confirming the Eye of Life as the goal of evolution.
'Eye of Life: Radiation field collection organ derived from the Holy Night Cult. Currently available: 3.'
Evolvable branch: 4.
Click on the branch directly.
'1—The Eye of the Holy Spirit: The supreme secret artifact of the Holy Night Cult. Based on the Eye of Life, it has been further enhanced and developed into a powerful assassination technique that annihilates the life force of an opponent of the same level with each of its own regeneration cycles.'
'2—Immortal Holy Eyes: An evolved version of the Eyes of Life. Retaining all basic attributes, the strength of the eyes is greatly increased; as long as the eyes remain, so too does life. No matter how much damage the body suffers, even if it is completely annihilated, as long as the eyes remain intact, everything can automatically and rapidly recover completely. The number of recovery times is determined by the number of Eyes of Life reserves.'
'3—Heart-Destroying Demon Eye: For each soul destroyed, one passive life substitute is gained. Upon death, the substitute automatically takes its place. There is no limit to the number of substitutes.'
'4—Spirit-Binding Calamity Eyes: One of the Nine Heavens Sect's supreme secret techniques. It allows one to connect with calamity power through the eyes, merging one's own soul into it. Thus, no matter how the body is destroyed, the soul, combined with the calamity power and absorbing matter, can be infinitely reshaped and restored, achieving a state of immortality.'
Seeing the first few, Lin Hui remained relatively calm, but the last one... he immediately became alert.
Based on the situation of Seven Annihilation True Monarch, Jiuxiaomen immediately understood that Seven Annihilation had probably achieved great success in cultivating this technique, merging himself with the Source Calamity and entrusting himself to it, thus reaching a state of immortality.
It must be said, this method is truly abnormal. People with terrifying strength like Seven Destructions might very well have achieved immortality by relying on this technique.
Its allure is immense.
But Lin Hui paused for a moment, then quickly clicked on the fourth item to check the details.
The evolutionary resources and time combined will take a total of one hundred years!
Upon seeing the time, his alertness immediately rose to its peak.
Such an abnormal secret technique only requires a hundred years of evolution time!?
Considering the recent increase in the number of people affected by weathering and wind marks, Lin Hui quickly made a decision.
He directly chose the second option, the Undying Holy Eye.
This one is much more normal. Active use has become passive triggering, and it inherits all the attributes of the Eye of Life, requiring only one thousand years.
"Are you sure you want to evolve the Undying Holy Eye?" the Blood Seal asked.
"Confirmed." Lin Hui made the decision immediately.
Then he took out the sharp corner and examined the thing. It was a good item, but the key problem was that the Duke of Purgatory hadn't told him how to use it.
After observing for a while, he picked up the sharp horn and stuffed it into his mouth.
Click.
The sharp teeth, imbued with power, easily bit off a piece of the pointed corner and chewed it slowly.
'It tastes pretty good.'
Lin Hui slowly swallowed, watching as the blood seal's evolution time rapidly shortened from one thousand to nine hundred.
Then, eight hundred, six hundred, three hundred, one hundred. Done.
Immediately afterward, he felt a sharp pain in both eyes, and a large amount of heat surged out rapidly. The heat lasted for a few breaths before disappearing on its own.
Then nothing changed.
He didn't take it to heart. At this stage, his own strength and realm were simply too great, and simple evolution could no longer have a significant impact on his body.
After finishing, Lin Hui glanced at the remaining sharp horn and decided to evolve the Undying Holy Eye once again.
This time, three branches appeared. Clearly, as evolution progresses, the number of available branches decreases.
'1—Illusionary Eye: The eye that controls one's own life and death. A terrifying sacred organ that exists only in legends within the Holy Night Cult. The eyes are immortal, and the life is immortal. It possesses uniqueness.' "2—All-Seeing Eye: Consumes life force, allowing one to instantly see through all laws. It can be learned quickly. Its upper limit is determined by the quality of the life force consumed."
'3—Eternal Eye: Allows the user to foresee the impending calamities of living beings within a certain timeframe, consuming the user's own life force. The greater the consumption, the deeper the insight. Note: Ineffective against Source Calamities.'
The second and third options are very tempting, and when combined with other life-replenishing methods, they can unleash an extremely terrifying and immense power.
But Lin Hui's goal was to save his life, so the first Illusion Eye best met his needs.
The limit on the number of uses has been removed, allowing for an unlimited number of revival attempts. The only requirement is that the eyes remain intact. This can be achieved simply by crafting some powerful protective helmets.
This is undoubtedly the best choice for family and friends who want to support their loved ones.
After all, he could easily develop a batch of ultra-high-strength materials and make helmets for his family and friends to wear. This would raise the safety ceiling for his family and friends to an absurd level.
Choose the Illusionary Eye; evolution time is 7000 years.
Lin Hui sighed and gnawed off all the sharp corners in one go, instantly shortening the time by more than four thousand years.
The remaining two thousand years or so can only be endured slowly.

Three months later.
Internal strife erupted in Black Cloud City. After the departure of the Fogman City Lord, Gongsun Wuhan attempted to unify all factions but was assassinated.
Fortunately, Su Yaping of Qingfeng Sect intervened, killing three Blood Ancestors in succession and suppressing the situation.
However, some who refused to comply still managed to escape under cover of night.
The night fog is becoming increasingly thin, so as long as you avoid recklessly venturing into strange places, you can be sure of your safety.
This change in environment gave these Blood Ancestor forces a chance to escape.
Two days later, the situation stabilized, and the city was cleared of the bodies of the dead and wounded.
Inside Qingfeng Taoist Temple.
Su Yaping and Xia Si entered together and reported on the situation at the time.
"That's the situation. Most of those escapees are remnants of the forces destroyed by the three city lords back then. Now they see an opportunity to cause trouble. Their goal is not to rebel against my Qingfeng Dao, but purely for blood revenge, to eliminate as many bloodline members as possible from the three original blood families," Su Yaping said in a deep voice.
"There are many families, just make sure they don't all die. Let the rest do what they want. Also, make sure Gongsun Wuhan doesn't die," Lin Hui instructed calmly.
"Yes," Su Yaping replied.
"Xia Si." Lin Hui's gaze fell on Xia Si, who was lost in thought on the other side.
"How did you do when you went out to patrol the surrounding area and record the nautical charts?"
"It's finished, but..." Xia Si's expression betrayed her boredom. "It's too weak. Everyone's too weak. I can't even find someone to fight."
"You can look inside the door," Lin Hui said.
“Everyone inside the gate has fought too many times,” Xia Si sighed.
She was actually quite lonely within the sect because everyone was somewhat afraid of her due to her overwhelming strength.
Therefore, the only people who can communicate on an equal footing are Su Yaping and Yun Xiazi, who are both perverts.
But Su Yaping couldn't beat her, and Yun Xiazi didn't like fighting her. So life turned into days of doing nothing but cultivating.
"Then there's nothing I can do. How about you fight me?" Lin Hui said calmly.
Xia Si narrowed her eyes, her aura instantly rising again. "Is that alright?"
"Of course." Lin Hui smiled, stretched out his hand, and pointed his index finger forward, gently pointing in Xia Si's direction.
puff.
The next second, Xia Si rolled her eyes, and the golden light behind her, which had just gathered a point, automatically dissipated.
She slumped to the ground, falling into a deep, baby-like sleep.
There was no physical contact; the two were several meters apart, only pointing at each other from a distance.
Xia Si, a powerful expert comparable to the Emperor Blood Mist Man, fainted without any resistance.
Su Yaping, standing to the side, felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that the Dao Lord's strength had now reached a level beyond their comprehension.
Can martial arts truly reach this level?
A deep doubt quietly seeped into his heart.
"Let her sleep here for a while," Lin Hui said with a smile. Now that he no longer kills living beings, he feels much more relaxed, as if he has cultivated his mind and nature and his temperament has become more natural and lively.
This gave him a new understanding of the Father's seal.
"Master, there is another message. It comes from the Benevolent Heart Sect," Su Yaping said respectfully, bowing her head.
"The Benevolent Heart Sect is still around?" Lin Hui was somewhat surprised. The world had changed so drastically, yet the Benevolent Heart Sect had still managed to survive. That was impressive.
"Yes, they are. However, they were purged by the capital after secretly supporting the Mingxin Society. But because of the decline of the world, the purge was halted midway, giving them a chance to catch their breath. Now, the previous group of leaders and vice leaders have all perished, and the newly appointed vice leaders are vying for power, forming several factions that are fighting each other. The Black Face faction contacted their subordinates yesterday, hoping to exchange various treasures and relics for the descendants of the leader to take refuge in Qingfei Mountain."
"Send it over. We've known the Good Heart Sect for a while now," Lin Hui agreed.
Hearing about these trivial matters, which were at most at the level of Blood Ancestor, he suddenly understood Xia Si's feelings.
"Alright, I'll go to the capital to see Han Xiaoyue in a few days. Xie Chang'an and Zhang Yao are also there."
After this trip, he plans to stay home and spend time with his family instead of going out.
