181: Chapter 181 The Eye of Eternity Has Not Died

Tianshu Dragon Garden.

As soon as the old wooden box was opened, the red peace buckle suspended itself in mid-air.

It wasn't large.

Slightly wider than a coin, its edges had been polished smooth by years of touch.

Liu Cuilan remembered it very clearly.

This was something Jiang Feng had worn when he was a child.

That year he was three, he had a fever at night and was talking in his sleep; Liu Cuilan didn't close her eyes the entire night.

The next day, she went to the old street and bought this peace buckle.

The stall owner said it would ensure safety.

Liu Cuilan didn't understand those mystical things.

She just felt the red string was sturdy, and it wouldn't be easy for the child to lose it while wearing it.

But now.

From within this peace buckle, the voice of a strange man emerged.

“Cuilan.”

“Call Jiang Feng back.”

“Blue Star is about to wake up.”

Liu Cuilan's brow furrowed instantly.

She reached out and grabbed the peace buckle.

“Who are you?”

The voice in the peace buckle paused for a moment.

“I am the one who has come to tell you the truth.”

Liu Cuilan became even more displeased.

“Since when do I need you to tell me about my son's business?”

Jiang Jianguo had already walked into the bedroom carrying the ruyi heaven-breaking staff.

He stared at the peace buckle, his expression very grim.

“Cuilan, put it on the table first.”

Liu Cuilan didn't put it down.

Instead, she gripped the peace buckle even tighter.

“This is something Xiao Feng wore when he was little.”

“I can't let filthy things touch it.”

The Dragon Girl Clone remaining at home suddenly stood her tail up.

“Grandma is right.”

The next second.

The peace buckle flared with intense red light.

A line of ancient text squeezed out from the center of the buckle.

[Third Old Name Fragment Carrier.]

[Holder: Liu Cuilan.]

[Binding Relationship: Gifted by Mother.]

[Awakening Condition: Jiang Feng achieves Godhood, Blue Star's native naming rights initially established.]

The man's voice rang out again.

“Cuilan, you have kept it safe for eighteen years.”

“It is time to return it now.”

Liu Cuilan gave a cold laugh.

“Return something I bought to you?”

“You have a lot of nerve.”

The peace buckle vibrated violently.

A red thread shot out from the center, heading straight for the space between Liu Cuilan's eyebrows.

Jiang Jianguo gave a furious shout and swung his staff down.

But the red thread passed through the staff's shadow without slowing down in the slightest.

This was a Thread of Belonging.

Ordinary attacks could not touch it.

Just as the Dragon Girl Clone was about to open her mouth and swallow it, the space in the room suddenly grew heavy.

Jiang Feng had returned.

He stood at the bedroom door.

In a gray T-shirt and plastic slippers, he still carried a bit of dust from the bottom of the well on his body.

He first glanced at the peace buckle.

Then he looked at Liu Cuilan.

“Mom, does your hand hurt?”

Liu Cuilan was stunned for a moment.

“It doesn't hurt.”

“This thing wants to steal your stuff?”

Jiang Feng nodded.

“Yes.”

Liu Cuilan handed the peace buckle directly to him.

“Then you take it.”

“Don't break it; this is what you wore when you were little.”

Jiang Feng took the peace buckle.

The red thread immediately changed direction and pierced toward his palm.

A System prompt popped up.

[Detected: Blue Star Old Name Third Fragment outer layer Seal.]

[Detected: Mother's Gift anchor point.]

[Detected: External Awakener permissions.]

[Plunderable.]

Jiang Feng closed his fingers.

“Plunder.”

[Secret Art: Pangu Plunder activated.]

[Plundered External Awakener permissions.]

[Gained all attributes: 40 ganges sand.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 840 ganges sand.]

The man's voice inside the peace buckle instantly turned cold.

“Jiang Feng, you cannot steal this.”

Jiang Feng said indifferently, “Why do you all love saying that?”

He crushed it with his fingertips.

The red line snapped into fragmented light.

[Plundered peace buckle outer layer Seal.]

[Gained all attributes: 35 ganges sand.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 875 ganges sand.]

The wardrobe in the bedroom shook slightly.

Jiang Jianguo's eyelids twitched as he watched.

“It increased just like that?”

The Dragon Girl Clone nodded seriously.

“Master can level up even by coming home.”

Jiang Jianguo: “...”

That seemed to make sense.

Liu Cuilan didn't understand anything about attributes.

She only stared at the peace buckle in Jiang Feng's hand.

“Don't crush it now.”

Jiang Feng's grip relaxed.

“I know.”

The voice in the peace buckle went silent for a moment.

Then, it changed its tone.

“Jiang Feng.”

“When your mother put the peace buckle on you, Blue Star's Old Name had already chosen you.”

“If you fuse with the third fragment, Liu Cuilan will be remembered by the Old Name.”

“She is just a Mortal.”

“She cannot withstand it.”

Jiang Feng looked at the center of the buckle.

“And?”

“Hand it to me.”

“I will withstand it for her.”

Jiang Feng raised his hand and lightly tapped the peace buckle.

Thump.

Red light exploded.

The man's voice let out a muffled groan.

[Zero-er triggered.]

[Threatening rhetoric erased.]

[False endurance contract erased.]

[peace buckle ownership takeover backdoor erased.]

Li Yan's communication suddenly connected.

“Jiang Feng, things just stabilized here in Huaxia.”

“Is your house glowing red again?”

Jiang Feng said, “It's nothing.”

Li Yan had just let out half a breath of relief.

The next second, Jiang Feng added a sentence.

“Someone wants to use my mom's peace buckle to process some paperwork.”

Li Yan exploded on the spot.

“Paperwork again?”

“Have these things never seen a fist before?”

Jiang Feng's tone was very flat.

“They're about to see it.”

Xiao Zhenjiang's voice also came through.

“Do you need the military's cooperation?”

Jiang Feng glanced at the peace buckle.

“Record all old items nationwide.”

“Jades, locks, red strings, peace buckles worn by children when they were born—check them all.”

“If there are anomalies, Seal them first.”

Xiao Zhenjiang understood immediately.

“They aren't just making moves on Awakening Arrays, hospitals, and schools.”

“They've also left hooks in family heirlooms.”

Jiang Feng said, “Yes.”

“This time it's not just my house.”

He raised his hand and sent a wisp of colorless light into the communication.

“Receive this with the new Awakening Array.”

“From now on, the protective items of Blue Star's children will only recognize their family members.”

“They won't recognize outsiders.”

Xiao Zhenjiang said deeply, “Huaxia will execute this.”

The man's voice in the peace buckle finally showed anger.

“Jiang Feng!”

“You are sabotaging the Old Name's awakening process!”

Jiang Feng looked at it.

“There are quite a lot of processes.”

“But not a single word of human speech.”

He placed the peace buckle in his palm.

The pangu godhead turned slightly.

Colorless divine authority descended.

[Divine Authority: Ten Thousand Names Return Fragments in effect.]

[Mother Anchor Non-Registration in effect.]

[True Name Self-Retention in effect.]

[Stripping peace buckle pollution...]

[Stripping successful.]

[Plundered old item name-entrusting rules.]

[Gained all attributes: 45 ganges sand.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 920 ganges sand.]

The red peace buckle returned to its original appearance.

Only in the center of the buckle, there was a bit more warm light.

Liu Cuilan reached out and touched it.

“Now this looks like the thing Xiao Feng wore when he was little.”

Jiang Feng handed the peace buckle back.

“Mom, keep it for now.”

Liu Cuilan took it and put it back into the wooden box.

She thought for a moment, and as if still worried, she closed the wooden box and pressed two old sweaters on top of it.

“Alright.”

“Are you done with your work?”

Jiang Feng thought for a moment.

“Just a little bit more.”

Liu Cuilan pointed to the living room.

“The food is being kept warm.”

“Don't keep saying 'just a little bit' until the food gets completely cold.”

Jiang Feng nodded.

“It'll be quick.”

A thread of warm light suddenly flew out from the peace buckle.

There was no attack.

It landed in front of Jiang Feng, transforming into a picture.

In the image was the Blue Star from many years ago.

There were no Demon Realms.

No Awakening Arrays.

No Class Holders.

Only a vast expanse of mountains and rivers.

In the center of the landscape was an ancient well.

A woman stood by the well.

She held a child in her arms.

Around the child's neck, there was also a red peace buckle.

The woman lowered her head and whispered something.

The voice was very blurry.

But Jiang Feng heard the last two words.

“...Don't wake.”

The image cut off.

A System prompt sounded.

[Blue Star True Old Name Third Fragment has been purified.]

[Currently unable to fully fuse.]

[Reason: Second Fragment missing.]

[Second Fragment coordinates locked: Deepest part of the Eye of Eternity's remains.]

[Prompt: Once all three Old Name fragments are gathered, Blue Star's native naming rights will completely advance.]

[Advancement direction: World True Name Self-Retention.]

Jiang Feng's eyes flickered.

World True Name Self-Retention.

In other words.

It wasn't just people.

Even the world of Blue Star itself could escape external naming.

Li Yan sucked in a breath over the communication.

“Eye of Eternity remains?”

“Is that that big eyeball underground from before?”

Zhang Changlin's voice was heavy.

“Wasn't that place destroyed by Jiang Feng?”

Zero Seven had already followed back through a spatial rift.

She looked at the System projection, her expression very poor.

“What was destroyed was the eye.”

“In the deepest part of the remains, there might still be an Eye Root.”

Jiang Feng turned around.

“Then let's go dig it up.”

Liu Cuilan poked her head out from the living room.

“Where are you going again?”

Jiang Feng said, “Underground.”

“To fix some old stuff.”

Hearing this, Liu Cuilan immediately grabbed a jacket from the closet.

“Put this on.”

Jiang Feng looked at his current divine body.

With over nine hundred ganges sand in basic six-dimensional attributes.

Low temperatures, high pressure, and void storms were all meaningless to him.

But he still took it.

“Okay.”

The Dragon Girl Clone wagged her tail happily.

“Grandma won.”

Jiang Jianguo coughed.

“Xiao Feng, should I go with you?”

Jiang Feng shook his head.

“Dad, you guard the house.”

“The peace buckle is at home.”

Jiang Jianguo gripped his staff tightly.

“Understood.”

“Whoever enters the door, I'll smash them.”

Jiang Feng nodded.

The next instant.

He took a step forward.

The ground beneath Dongjiang City Fourth High School was torn open by him again.

The earth layers split apart.

The remains of the Eye of Eternity, like a dead gray continent, were buried deep within Blue Star.

The massive eye socket had already shattered.

But at the very center, there was actually a long, thin black optic nerve.

It was rooted even deeper.

It was throbbing.

Thump.

Thump.

Like it was sending a signal to somewhere.

Jiang Feng landed on the edge of the eye socket.

The System prompt instantly turned red.

[Detected: Blue Star Old Name Second Fragment.]

[Detected: Eye of Eternity's Undying Root.]

[Detected: The Name Writer's true body is descending through the Eye Root.]

The black optic nerve suddenly snapped taut.

A grayish-white pupil opened in the depths of the remains.

In the pupil, Jiang Feng's face was reflected.

That calm and cold voice came from even deeper underground.

“You took the third fragment.”

“Now you want to take the Second Fragment as well.”

“Jiang Feng.”

“This time, I will personally watch you die.”
