Chapter 2377: 2377
During the furor outside, Li Qiye had reached the deepest area of Moneyfall - a massive dimension .
He has been walking down the stairs of darkness for a long time, only to be met with endless space . Falling down would mean ceasing to exist .
He looked around with a piercing glare, wishing to see through everything . Finally, he took out a handful of white sands . They emitted a faint light just like pearls in the night .
He traded coins for these specks of sand with the ants . People were laughing at him for doing so but they weren’t aware of their uses . Of course, it was useless to know since they couldn’t reach this place either .
“Ffff-” He blew away the sand into the endless space with one breath .
They looked like fireflies flying around - quite a beautiful scene . Their glow wasn’t radiant but it was still helpful in this dark space . As they drifted farther away, their glow became distant before disappearing from sight .
The stagnating and suffocating darkness returned once more, as it always has been . This silence seemed to be a greeting for something on the verge of awakening .
After a long period, a soft pop was heard with a rippling in space as if something was being lifted open .
Beautiful light began to leak from somewhere like the opening of a world . The intensity increased until calling it an “ocean” of light was an understatement .
The entire place became resplendent, covered in this warm and non-blinding light . The place emitting the light was full of stars and galaxies as well . It had an azure color, filling this area with life .
Suddenly, this was interrupted by another popping sound akin to a cover being pushed down . The world fell into darkness again; the beautiful light disappeared without a trace .
“A very beautiful and gasp-worthy eye, unfortunately, the world won’t see it . ” He smiled and murmured: “Of course, it might not be a good thing for it to come out . ”
He took out an order, the one he got from the final level of Bewildering Palace .
“If I’m not mistaken, this order belongs to you, so in accordance with the rules, I am allowed to make a request . ” He raised it and chuckled .
“Pop!” The light poured down again as the beautiful world appeared once more .
However, Li Qiye was right - it was actually a massive eye . The stars and galaxies were actually just part of it .
If one eye was already this big, just how large would the person be? Truly unfathomable . Perhaps one couldn’t even begin to imagine how a creature got this big, perhaps the largest being in existence .
The phrase - close one’s eyes and darkness comes; open and welcome dawn - was in full effect here .
All existences seemed tiny in comparison . How could they compare to a vast expanse? Plus, this vast expanse was only one eye . Li Qiye was smaller than the tiniest speck of dust before it .
“Speak . ” After a careful gaze at Li Qiye, the eye finally spoke using its divine intent . The receiving end wasn’t the ear but rather the heart .
If one tried to listen, they wouldn’t hear anything . Only the heart could sense it . This sound wasn’t limited by languages; it could directly convey its will .
Li Qiye smiled: “Moneyfall is not a land of death, only a container of something unimaginable . ”
If people were to find out the truth about this monster, they would be scared out of their mind .
He declared: “According to the rules, you need to fulfill my demand . ”
“What do you want?” The voice came again: “Immortal pills? Artifacts? Techniques? Or an invincible body?”
“No, those are too common . ” Li Qiye shook his head: “I wouldn’t be here if they were my goal for plenty of other places have them . Plus, the ones I truly want? You can’t provide them anyway . ”
The strands emanating from the eye intensified . Just one strand alone could kill an Eternal or light up a world .
“What do you want?” The voice expressed zero emotion; no one could read its mood .
“I want to borrow your eye to take a look, that’s all . ” He answered .
“Borrow my eye? To look at what?” The intent replied .
“You already know since I need to borrow your eye to see it . What I want to see is not the present nor the future nor the past of this land . I wish to observe an older age, a period that has been erased from existence!”
“If it doesn’t exist, then it can’t be seen . ”
Li Qiye spoke with certainty: “Others can’t see it, but you can, not because you understand it, but because it is in your memory . ”
The intent didn’t answer right away this time, seemingly pondering .
“I once said that I need an answer . Perhaps I already know this answer, but before making up my mind, I need to see it for myself . ”
“You can go to that place to take a look . ” The intent spoke .
“I will but before that, I need to learn about this period in order to fully understand my enemies and the ultimate terror . That’s why I need to borrow your eye for a bit . ” Having said that, Li Qiye’s eyes became profound enough to pierce through this vast expanse, all the way to the depth of the pupil .
The intent took its time before answering: “I can refuse a demand like this . ”
Li Qiye said: “Perhaps, but since I am already standing here, I won’t take no for an answer . You won’t be able to refuse! I will see it!”
