That's it! After my past self's pure black body absorbed the dark energy of this Blood Pool, this giant skull then collapsed with a crash, shattered until not a single speck of bone dust remained...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yuliang was still reeling in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was also still silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Du Yuheng, holding the black-and-white feather, suddenly uttered in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The bones of the martyr, glowing like a stele in the abyss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye's expression shook, his gaze abruptly turning towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This coded phrase came from the prompt sound his main body heard when passing zero o’clock in the Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bones of the martyr...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye looked at this giant skull again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glowing like a stele...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of black with a luminous quality could indeed be described as \"glowing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the entire massive pure black body indeed looked like a tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, very soon, Jiang Ye witnessed again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That self-luminous pure black color quickly faded from the skull's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the giant skull returned to its initial pure white skeletal form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the giant pure black body was merely a momentary illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye snapped back to reality and saw Du Yuheng had already put away that black-and-white feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said slowly, \"This funeral feather, it only reflects the appearance the deceased had in life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to Li Si, perhaps you can resurrect this giant skull, let it regrow pure black flesh and blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, then analyzed in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's just feeding flesh and blood, why doesn't Li Si do it himself? Or, why not arrange for you to do the feeding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... the person who feeds flesh and blood to this skull must be me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng nodded, conveniently performing an experiment right in front of him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly chopped off the little finger of his left hand, then threw this small piece of \"flesh and blood\" towards the corner of the skull's smiling, blood-dripping mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the result was that the small piece of \"flesh and blood\" failed to land in the skull's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, after hitting the skull's mouth, it fell straight down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng caught that little finger, then handed it to Jiang Ye, saying, \"You want to try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye took the little finger but didn't immediately throw it towards the skull's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roughly understood Du Yuheng's meaning—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This giant skull only eats the flesh and blood Jiang Ye feeds it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if Jiang Ye tries, this little finger would most likely be successfully fed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that he hadn't yet figured out whether he should personally feed this skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he naturally wouldn't rashly throw this little finger representing \"flesh and blood\" at the skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a period of silence, he still looked at Du Yuheng and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's just resurrecting this skull... that still seems insufficient to 'persuade' me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning in his words was also quite clear—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Du Yuheng's revelation, his attitude had indeed softened somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still wasn't quite ready to commit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng fell silent for a moment, then suddenly offered him the black-and-white feather, probing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, can you accept personally using this funeral feather?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Jiang Ye looked at the feather, silent for a moment, then still took it, \"Aim the feather root at the skull's forehead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng said, \"You can shine it on its eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was slightly silent, then pinched the feather, attempting to aim its root at the giant skull's empty eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was initially somewhat hesitant about whether to aim at the skull's left or right eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, miraculously...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black ray emitted from the feather's root seemed to automatically split into two streams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One stream shot towards the left eye, the other towards the right eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the first part of the entire giant skull to be \"lit up\" by blackness was those empty eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those eyes also didn't look like normal eyeballs, but like the pure black body from before, appearing pure black...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye's gaze fell upon that expanse of pure black, yet he seemed to see some blurry scenes within that blackness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, in that instant, he clearly and distinctly sensed—clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this giant skull \"lit up\" by the funeral feather, awakened to a pure black body...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really seemed to be his clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, it was a dead clone corpse?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye indeed sensed that this giant pure black-bodied skull was his clone, that was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was only the clone-to-clone sensing, without any synchronized consciousness information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated two possibilities—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either, this clone itself inherently had no consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it wasn't truly resurrected, but only temporarily \"resurrected\" in body due to the funeral feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This clone was a type of Fake Clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when a player imitates him, they are judged as his clone, but the consciousness existing within these Fake Clones is the player's own consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Fake Clone is equivalent to only the body being judged as Jiang Ye's clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its consciousness remains the player's own autonomous consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of these two situations, if it's the former, then naturally everyone is happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what Jiang Ye resurrects is his own clone;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it's the latter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone's consciousness doesn't belong to him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he currently doesn't master any Clone Skills that can control clones...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a Fake Clone is essentially only something he can sense, and completely unable to be influenced or controlled by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consequences of that would be entirely unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, with He Yuliang the gambler as a reference, Jiang Ye naturally instinctively wanted to choose caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was another point of suspicion—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn't Jiang Ye sense the clone when Du Yuheng \"lit up\" the skull's body earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he himself \"lit up\" the skull did he sense the clone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed far too fishy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Jiang Ye prepared to continue rejecting Du Yuheng's suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he was about to put away the funeral feather...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly, in a daze, clearly saw the originally blurry scene within the skull's pure black eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, the scene was still quite blurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his mechanical eyeballs seemed to possess vision beyond the ordinary, magnifying that blurry scene like a microscope, presenting it clearly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what Jiang Ye saw seemed to be a lush forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire field of vision was filled with endless trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those trees had black trunks and dense branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The branches were laden with densely packed Human-Shaped Leaves...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes! Human-Shaped Leaves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single one of those densely packed trees looked like the Formless Trees his main body had seen within the [Formless Domain]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, they looked like miniature versions of Formless Trees, copied and pasted countless times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such a densely packed \"Formless Forest\" inexplicably reminded Jiang Ye of the Forest of Oddities...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The densely packed \"Hair Trees\" in the Forest of Oddities only had a single black trunk resembling an enlarged hair...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such black trunks actually looked like the trunks of Formless Trees that hadn't fully grown yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forest of Oddities full of Hair Trees...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps should have been a Formless Forest full of Formless Trees?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would this scene appear in the eyes of this giant skull?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that his... scene before death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... that Formless Forest existed in the past?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye pondered in his heart, his gaze also fixed on the eyes of the giant pure black body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't deliberately withdraw the funeral feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in the blink of an eye, the pure black flesh and blood on the giant skull automatically faded away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Jiang Ye's sensing of this clone instantly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just frowned when Du Yuheng beside him explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The funeral feather reflecting the deceased's appearance in life also has a time limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn't say anything, just aimed the feather's root at the giant skull again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time, the skull showed no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned again, looking at Du Yuheng, \"Can each person only use it once?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng shook his head, \"Not exactly. It's like a skill; using it on an individual has a Cooldown. Different individuals have separately calculated Cooldown times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes, \"Could the second and third uses show different scenes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he asked Du Yuheng, \"Did your [True Sight Eye] see the scene in the resurrected skull's eyes just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng shook his head, \"Perhaps my [True Sight Eye] level isn't high enough; I didn't see any scene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can't even see the scene in the eyes, naturally I can't tell the difference between the first and second uses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, He Yuliang couldn't help but interject, \"Calculating Cooldown per individual, then I can also use this feather to make the skull grow pure black flesh and blood again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superficially, he used a question, but in reality, he was hinting that he also wanted to try this funeral feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought for a moment, then handed the feather to him, letting him try too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yuliang, while mimicking the action, also aiming the feather's root at the giant skull, asked another question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This entire Blood Pool area is still surrounded by so many small skulls; can they also have their appearance in life reflected by this feather?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, the giant skull was also made to show pure black flesh and blood by his use of the funeral feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, similar to when Du Yuheng used the funeral feather, Jiang Ye didn't sense the clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this moment that a \"ding\" sound suddenly rang in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, the \"ding\" sound rang simultaneously in Du Yuheng and He Yuliang's minds too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations to the Land of Exile for successfully giving birth to the first moon infant!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Before the new moon is born, the old moon will automatically shift towards the Land of Exile!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just this brief announcement...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was suddenly struck with realization—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That \"Newborn\" swallowed into the stomach of the Moon-Devouring Giant Toad...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had truly... been born?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And moreover, it was the \"first\" moon infant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, in the past, the Land of Exile had never given birth to a moon infant?\u003C\u002Fp>",2447,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.056Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0f36b28d5200acfc6ce36d275c243c2e9b044f43b7cbbdffefcd2094f422ee4","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-497","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-495",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
