151: Chapter 151 An Existence That Cannot Be Directly Looked At!

"Senior... what... what is that?"

Mo Wentian's voice was hoarse and dry, each syllable squeezed from his fractured throat, carrying the tremors of impending death.

His face showed a greyish decay, as if his life force had been drained. As the Saint of the Tianshu Holy Land, despite exhausting all he had learned in his life, he could not comprehend the terrifying sight before him that transcended all cognition.

Su Changge did not answer.

He no longer had the strength to spare even a single Divine Thought.

The moment that gaze fell, the entire world ceased to exist for him. The collapsing sky, the wailing earth, the Prodigies behind him whose hearts were bursting with fear—everything lost its color, turning into a meaningless void of white.

His entire mind, his very existence, was pinned to the spot by that gaze.

This was not a Mortal having an audience with a god.

This was the entirety of the Karma, laws, past, and future that constituted a "person," laid bare before the Origin of the "Dao," undergoing the most thorough inspection. That gaze was not "looking," but "seeing through."

It was seeing through the composition of his Physical Body, tracing the Origin of his Divine Soul, and even attempting to follow the mysterious threads of Karma to pierce through his past and present lives.

The meager spiritual energy of the Qi Refining First Layer within Su Changge's body was not even worth being called dust before this will; it was nearly ground into nothingness by the Dao pressure generated by its very existence.

If not for the camouflage supported by the System's passive effect [Myriad Laws Immunity (Pseudo)] deep within his Divine Soul, which was operating frantically to simulate the supreme illusion of "All Daos Return to One, Its Beginning Has No Beginning," he would have already been annihilated in both form and spirit.

The pure scrutiny within that gaze lasted for three breaths.

Then, that eternal indifference changed.

A sliver of "interest" slowly emerged from the deepest depths of that gaze, and from the depths of the will of that higher, more distant starry sky.

Like a supreme existence in charge of the changing of eras, it had inadvertently discovered a speck of dust that did not belong to any world. A speck of dust it had never seen before, yet one that followed some higher, more subtle laws.

The moment this sliver of "interest" appeared, the warning signs in Su Changge's heart turned into a roar that tore through his Divine Soul.

He knew he had been "noticed."

Boom.

The invisible and intangible Dao pressure instantly surged a thousandfold. If it was like Mount Tai pressing down before, now it was as if the entire ancient starry sky was suppressing him alone.

Su Changge felt a monstrous wave rise in his sea of consciousness, and the dam constructed by [Myriad Laws Immunity (Pseudo)] showed signs of collapsing.

The situation for the people behind him was even more miserable.

"Ah."

Xiao Fan let out a muffled roar. His proud iron will was as fragile as rotten wood under this absolute suppression of life rank. The bones in his knees were crushed by an invisible force, and he was forced into a kneeling position on the ground.

Liu Ruyan, Li Changfeng, and the other Prodigies all went limp or fainted, their Divine Soul Origins covered in cracks, on the verge of total collapse at any moment.

Only Mo Wentian and Lin Gujian could barely remain standing. Mo Wentian's hair was disheveled, and blood seeped from his nose and mouth. A Small Bronze Shield he had sacrificed hung above everyone's heads, its surface now covered in web-like cracks.

Crack.

With a light sound, a deep crack pierced through the shield. Mo Wentian's heart also sank into the abyss.

Amidst this dead silence, deep within Su Changge's Divine Soul, the System's warning lit up with unprecedented solemnity.

[Warning. Extra-spec Causal Law Probe detected. The target's existence level far exceeds the cognitive limits of the current world.]

[Conventional camouflage has been pierced. Only feasible plan: It is recommended that the Host enable 'Concept-level' effects to perform Hyper-dimensional Information Offset, using the 'Pseudo Dao' constructed by oneself to interfere with the opponent's 'True Dao' probe.]

Su Changge's thoughts swept like lightning across the options at the bottom of the System panel that lacked sufficient permissions but were now faintly glowing.

[Great Dao Origin Dharma Eye], [Words Become Law (Pseudo)], [One Thought Blossoms, Monarch Over the World]...

The name of each effect exuded an aura that made immortals and gods tremble, followed by exchange prices so long they made one's scalp tingle.

His gaze fell on his reserve of emotion points.

[Current emotion points: 19,876,543 points.]

Rather than passively waiting to be erased, it was better to perform a Heaven-Defying act and gamble everything.

Su Changge slowly raised his head.

Under the terrifying Dao pressure that could cause even a Deity Transformation Great Power's Divine Soul to collapse, he chose to face the source of that gaze directly.

Mo Wentian used the last of his strength to watch Su Changge's actions in horror, his Divine Soul screaming. Senior... is he going to...

A thought so crazy it reached the extreme exploded in his heart.

"Senior, you mustn't!" He tore his throat, letting out a desperate wail.

But Su Changge had already made his choice.

His gaze no longer held any camouflage or retreat. Gathering all his current will, it pierced through layers of solidified and broken space, through the pitch-black crack spanning the sky, and boldly met that supreme will that transcended time and space, looking down upon the eras.
