Chapter 1305: Best Sun

"I..." Tian Gou slowly steadied himself, letting out a bitter laugh. "What's wrong with me? Didn't I say... this thing is the result of several generations' efforts? How could it only be related to me?"

"You mean by 'several generations' is..."

"Come with me." Tian Gou instantly wiped the smile from his face and headed toward the dark shadow in the distance. Zheng Yingxiong could sense that the scent of fear on him had become even more obvious.

As the group approached the dark workbench in the distance, the surrounding scene began to reveal itself gradually.

Even Yan Zhi Chun, Zheng Yingxiong, and Jiang Ruo Xue, who had long memories, didn't know how to describe this utterly maddening sight.

Was that thing under their feet really an eyeball...?

Because they noticed that this eyeball had other eyeballs "grafted" onto it.

Those eyeballs were scattered haphazardly on the ground, looking like ordinary stones at first glance.

But as they got closer, they saw that the eyeballs were deeply embedded in the earth, twitching frantically in terror, sending chills down their spines.

What kind of madman would think of "giantizing" an eyeball and then grafting more eyeballs onto it...?

Di Gou had been silent ever since entering this place, his expression ashen, seemingly filled with layers of killing intent.

Tian Gou took a couple of steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back with a mysterious look, asking, "Do you know about 'compound eyes'? Doesn't this huge eyeball look like a 'compound eye'?"

Yan Zhi Chun's face was ice-cold, completely unwilling to engage with this man.

"It's fine if you don't know. It doesn't matter. We don't have to stop here." Tian Gou said with a slight tremble, "These are all useless eyes anyway..."

With that, he turned around and continued walking farther ahead.

"He seems terrified," Zheng Yingxiong said.

Yan Zhi Chun nodded in response. Tian Gou's state was indeed strange, but everything was proceeding according to his plan—so why would he be afraid?

"This 'sun' is just too maddening..." Lin Geng covered his mouth and nose with his hand at that moment, saying, "It's as nauseating as this place..."

Di Gou, walking behind Tian Gou, finally spoke up, "Tian Gou, has the 'sun' here always been like this?"

"How could it be..." Tian Gou sighed. "Taoyuan is Taoyuan, after all, in Qing Long's hands... The 'sun' here can be replaced."

"Replaced...?" Di Gou murmured the word softly.

"That's right—if you're not satisfied with a 'sun', just swap it out during the night." Tian Gou forced a smile onto his sorrowful face. "All you need to do is 'giantize' an eyeball and make it 'levitate', then add a 'flash burst' that only activates during the day... and there you have a 'sun'. The original sun might have just been a glowing ball that required someone with 'flash burst' to control it constantly, but Qing Long's ideas are always so advanced... He thought turning the person who controls 'flash burst' directly into the sun would make things simpler."

The group fell silent again after hearing this.

"Later, they used people with 'levitation' and 'giantization' as the 'sun'... And then, with the progress of 'technology'..." Tian Gou laughed heartily, "No matter who the person is or what ability they have, it doesn't matter anymore. After all, you can just 'graft' the ability directly onto their eyeball... That opens up so many more options."

Yan Zhi Chun lowered his head and looked at the ground, feeling an inexplicable sorrow. The owner of this eyeball might have once been an ordinary "participant," but now she was hung in the sky. She might still have her own thoughts, yet no one would listen to her, and no one could predict her fate.

"People don't really care what the thing overhead is, as long as it lights up the day—that's naturally the sun." Tian Gou shook his head and continued, "To make it more realistic... in the morning, it can 'flash burst' while 'levitating'... To everyone, that just looks like the sun slowly rising, right?"

"Is this what you call a 'masterpiece'...?" Di Gou asked coldly.

"Isn't this a masterpiece?" Tian Gou stamped his foot. "Do you know what this is? It's not some flowers, grass, insects, or black bears—this is a 'sun'!"

"Then what ability does the current 'sun' have...?" Di Gou paused again.

At this point, Zheng Yingxiong finally caught a vague trace of those two words and whispered, "It's the foul stench of 'tracking'..."

"That's right, exactly 'tracking'." Tian Gou said, "This is precisely the effort of 'several generations'—it includes Qing Long's ingenious ideas, Tian She's exquisite technology, and Bai..."

Tian Gou hesitated, as if the words were stuck in his throat.

After pondering for a long time on how to phrase it, he eventually gave up and changed his words: "Anyway, you've all arrived at the perfect time. This is the most suitable state for 'heavenly level moment'."

After hearing the words "tracking," Di Gou's expression sank even lower. He followed silently behind Tian Gou, as if he already had a plan in mind.

As they spoke, the group slowly reached the workbench.

Upon closer inspection, it was a strange table made of an odd material with intricate patterns carved into it, like stone but not entirely confirmable.

It stood embedded in this vast, foul-smelling plaza, like a small desk.

Right on the table's surface, many eyeballs were neatly embedded, five across and five down, lying there like buttons—resembling a bizarre computer or an abacus covered in eyeballs.

This "device" showed signs of frequent use, with some eyeballs stained with blood and others bruised.

"A masterpiece, isn't it...?" Tian Gou said with a bitter laugh. "No matter who becomes the 'sun'... as long as this setup is 'grafted' onto them... everything will proceed smoothly... Do you know which is the most ingenious eyeball?"

Tian Gou turned back and grabbed Yan Zhi Chun's arm. Yan Zhi Chun noticed that his hand had turned ice-cold.

"Look, it's this one!" Tian Gou pulled Yan Zhi Chun to the front of the table and pointed to the eyeball right in the center of all the others. "That Bai—I mean, there was a person who creatively suggested replacing the middle eyeball with 'energy storage'. Do you know the benefit of that?"

No one spoke, but they all felt like Tian Gou was on the verge of tears.

"The benefit is that one 'energy storage' brings infinite possibilities..." he said. "The 'sun' is already mad to begin with... No matter what kind of 'immortal technique' is passed to it, it will infinitely amplify the 'immortal technique'. This power even surpasses 'heavenly level', yet it's completely unaware itself."

Tian Gou lowered his head and murmured, "Precisely because of the 'energy storage', even if 'heavenly level' isn't on the sun, you can still time it remotely to activate 'heavenly level moment'... How could that not be a great masterpiece?"

Yan Zhi Chun reached out and gently touched the table's surface. It felt warm, as if not only the "sun" was alive, but the table itself was too.
