Chapter 396: Could It Really Be Cangjie?

It was a pair of eyes with double pupils. Staring straight into them, Kamikawa Mitsu grew dizzy and dazed, as if he glimpsed the cleaving of chaos, the birthing of heaven and earth, and caught a peek at the truth of the Dao.

By the time he came back to himself.

The familiar yet strange double pupils entered Kamikawa Mitsu's sight.

The Immortal's corpse had double pupils.

If before, Kamikawa Mitsu had felt that the facial contours of the Immortal corpse greatly resembled that person, then upon seeing the Immortal's double pupils, Kamikawa Mitsu was now certain that the Immortal corpse truly could not be separated from that person's image.

And that person was Cangjie!!

He was the figure from the Huaguo myths in the scenes of the Primeval Era that he had autonomously simulated — Cangjie with double pupils.

"What the hell!"

Kamikawa Mitsu's eyes held disbelief.

Cangjie was indeed a real historical figure, but the Cangjie in the Primeval Era was a virtual character he had autonomously simulated.

The image and styling were entirely fabricated by himself.

Yet now, an Immortal corpse had appeared before his eyes, looking similar to that Cangjie, and crucially, possessing a pair of double pupils — to say they had no connection was simply impossible.

Could it be because I obtained the Immortal corpse earlier, so subconsciously I made one that looks like him?

The moment the thought arose, in less than a second Kamikawa Mitsu denied it on the spot.

This possibility existed, but he had never seen the Immortal corpse's eyes at all. Because he saw the Immortal corpse and subconsciously created a virtual character who looked like him — it was impossible that he would also fabricate the double pupils he had never seen.

At this moment.

Kamikawa Mitsu was stunned, and creeped out.

It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough — anyone in his place wouldn't be calm.

It was like a person drawing or writing, creating a character that was entirely their own fabrication.

Then one day, the fabricated character from the drawing or writing appeared, standing alive before them.

Tell me, who wouldn't be horrified, who wouldn't be baffled.

"He can't really be Cangjie, can he." Kamikawa Mitsu said hesitantly.

The Cangjie in his mouth did not refer to the fabricated Cangjie character, but rather the Cangjie passed down through Huaguo history — the one who made tremendous contributions to Huaguo, who created writing, the Cangjie with double pupils.

That didn't seem right either.

This Immortal corpse had been dead for at least a million years; Huaguo's history only spans five thousand years of culture.

Unless... Huaguo's five thousand years of culture wasn't actually five thousand years. Like the Primordial Realm he had constructed, the years recorded in history weren't the true years — the real years were far, far more ancient than what was recorded.

Due to the long passage of time and various upheavals, people who consulted the recorded history mistakenly believed it was only a few thousand years.

"I'll know once I investigate."

Kamikawa Mitsu extended his hand. A dark, abyss-like light shimmered across his palm — a light profound beyond description, within which mysterious patterns could faintly be seen interweaving.

This was the Sacrificial Lord's Void Demon ability.

As everyone knew, Void Demons were born with special abilities, and each Void Demon's ability was different.

For example, Likui — her special ability was that by eating a living being's brain, she could obtain its memories, provided that living being was not stronger than her.

This was what set Void Demons most apart from other living beings — they were born with special abilities.

The Sacrificial Lord, being a Void Demon, naturally also possessed a special ability. In fact, the reason the Sacrificial Lord had risen to become the strongest being in the Void Demon Realm, apart from his talent and effort, had one most important cause — his ability.

One must know that Void Demon abilities came in all shapes and forms.

Just like supernatural powers — psychic types, enhancement types, and so on.

The Sacrificial Lord's ability belonged to the most special category. It was somewhat similar to Likui's, but far more powerful.

He could obtain information about a person by touching them with both hands.

This information included memories, cultivation arts, divine abilities, strength, and so on.

The reason it was said to be more powerful than Likui's ability was that his acquisition of information had no restriction on the other party's strength — in other words, he could obtain information from people stronger than himself.

However, there was one major prerequisite: that person had to be dead.

If the other party was weaker than him, then he didn't need them to be dead — as long as he subdued them, he could also obtain information.

To summarize, his ability had two points: he could obtain information from others, whether that person was dead or alive; and if the other party was stronger than him, they had to be dead, otherwise he couldn't obtain information.

It was precisely by relying on this ability that the Sacrificial Lord challenged the various prodigies and heroes of his age, obtained their information, and acquired their great divine abilities.

At the same time, he explored the burial grounds and ruins of various ancient powerhouses, using his ability to obtain the inheritances of these ancient powerhouses.

His invasion of other worlds was precisely to obtain the divine abilities and traditions of those other worlds.

Because his strength had already reached a bottleneck, and he was not content with merely stealing information from his own side of the world — he wanted to obtain more and more.

Kamikawa Mitsu, having obtained the Sacrificial Lord's character, also gained this ability of his.

In fact.

It was precisely because of this ability that Kamikawa Mitsu was so confident, and didn't rush to study the Immortal corpse from the start, choosing instead to deal with the Otherworld invasion first.

With this ability, he could, to some extent, conduct a certain investigation of the Immortal corpse.

"Hopefully I can obtain some useful information."

This was the first time Kamikawa Mitsu used the Sacrificial Lord's Void Demon ability.

However, with the Sacrificial Lord's character, his proficiency was like that of a veteran — there was no excessive nervousness.

What truly made him nervous and anxious was how much information he would obtain.

One must know that even though the Sacrificial Lord had used his ability against all manner of powerhouses, he had never encountered an Immortal among them.

So Kamikawa Mitsu couldn't guarantee whether this ability would work on an Immortal or not.

A being who had transcended life and death could not be viewed by ordinary reason. It had already departed from the realm of living beings — to gods and demons, that was a true god!

A mortal using tricks against a god — would it work? God knows.

The only thing that still gave Kamikawa Mitsu hope was his own strength.

Compared to the Sacrificial Lord, his strength was far greater, reaching the Fifth Step of the Divine.

He placed his palm on the head of the immortal corpse.

A dim light interwoven with divine patterns overflowed from his palm and seeped into the immortal corpse's brain.

His eyes slowly closed.

In a hazy state, Kamikawa Mitsu fell into a kind of trance — just like when his consciousness had once entered the script-video production space, this time his consciousness entered a place resembling a leap through time and space.

It felt like being inside a sci-fi movie — a spatial node jump, the surroundings pitch-black, with countless streaks moving rapidly, tracing out meteor-like trails, one after another, thread after thread, densely packed.

Kamikawa Mitsu's consciousness floated in this mysterious place.

He gazed at the myriad meteor-like streaks of light passing by, based on the ability information obtained from the Sacrificial Lord character.

Right now he was inside a mysterious information space, and the myriad meteor-like streaks of light within this space were the information of the one being harvested.

If the Sacrificial Lord were still alive and present in this information space, he would surely be horrified — this was the first time in his entire existence that he had ever seen such a densely packed information space.

It was unimaginable what kind of terrifying existence this harvested one was.

Kamikawa Mitsu tried to grab these meteor-like streaks of light, reaching out to catch them — like trying to grasp the moon's reflection in the water, no matter how he reached, he could never catch the moon.
