This vertical-pupil eyeball possesses the ability to see through the past, present, and future, and can also manipulate time.

Fang Zhou recalled that after he and Ming Aoshuang were sucked into the vertical-pupil eyeball, they both saw memories of their past.

Fang Zhou saw memories from his past life, while Ming Aoshuang saw memories from the past thirty years.

This means the vertical-pupil eyeball indeed has the ability to see through the past. At least part of the mural's record is true.

Filled with excitement, Fang Zhou continued to read on.

Upon discovering the abilities of the vertical-pupil eyeball, the wizards went into raptures, venerating the eyeball as a Holy Artifact and honoring it as the Eye of the Creator God.

They fabricated a series of myths and legends based on the vertical-pupil eyeball to prove they were the chosen ones of fate, using the eyeball to maintain their rule.

The wizards recklessly used the vertical-pupil eyeball to display miracles, resulting in a backlash of power, which disrupted time and led to the nation's destruction.

The subsequent history revolved around the vertical-pupil eyeball, with countless individuals vying for the Holy Artifact known as the Eye of the Creator God.

Those who obtained the Holy Artifact gained power and glory, but the artifact also brought calamity, eventually leading them to the same demise as the wizards.

After the spiral and cyclical nature of history for tens of thousands of years, human civilization finally perished in the internal strife over the Holy Artifact, and the vertical-pupil eyeball vanished into history.

The mural was long, and Fang Zhou spent at least an entire day finishing this part about the historical record.

Then he stopped, as the rest of the mural depicted stories about the struggle for the eyeball and some myths and legends.

There might be some errors or omissions, but Fang Zhou couldn't keep reading, or else the patiently waiting Ming Aoshuang next to him would probably go insane.

After reading the mural, several doubts surfaced in Fang Zhou's mind.

If the mural records that human civilization was destroyed, who carved these murals?

Who built this eerie place? And who placed the vertical-pupil eyeball on the altar?

The truths buried deep in history may never be known.

By interpreting the mural, Fang Zhou did find the key to leaving here, which is the vertical-pupil eyeball, as it seems to have the ability to perform spatial transfer.

The mural records an incident where a wizard accidentally transferred beyond the nation's borders while testing the eyeball's abilities.

"Have you finished reading?"

Seeing Fang Zhou stop reading the mural, Ming Aoshuang quickly asked, "Have you found a way out?"

Fang Zhou nodded and didn't play coy: "The key to leaving is in that vertical-pupil eyeball that brought us here. It should be in here. If we find it, we can get out."

"Then let's hurry and find it."

Ming Aoshuang couldn't wait any longer and flew up; she couldn't stand the slow walking anymore.

The two started to fly quickly along the cave; even though Fang Zhou had spent a whole day reading the mural, they had not gone far while stopping and starting.

Now, flying, their speed increased by hundreds of times, and in the blink of an eye, they covered more ground than before.

While flying, Fang Zhou also used Bi An to continue exploring the surroundings to avoid missing any important locations.

When encountering forks in the road, Fang Zhou decisively chose a side, leaving the decision time for searching.

After flying for several hours, Fang Zhou suddenly felt a jolt of spirit and came to a halt.

Ming Aoshuang followed suit and stopped: "What's the matter?"

"Found a strange place!"

Fang Zhou looked in a certain direction, half a kilometer away, where Bi An had entered a vast underground cave.

Between Fang Zhou and the substitute, there were countless thick walls blocking the way.

But getting there was simple enough; he reached out his hand to Ming Aoshuang: "Give me your hand."

Ming Aoshuang hesitated for a moment but put her hand in Fang Zhou's.

Fang Zhou grabbed her hand, disinterested in savoring the texture and smoothness of her palm, and swapped places with Bi An.

In a flash, Fang Zhou and Ming Aoshuang appeared half a kilometer away.

What came into view was a deep underground cavern, with bizarre rock formations growing all around and huge stalactites hanging from the top.

"This is..."

Ming Aoshuang was astonished, marveling at Fang Zhou's ability and at this mysterious place.

Fang Zhou let go of Ming Aoshuang's hand and flew into the cavern, with Ming Aoshuang quickly following.

The underground cavern was apparently naturally formed, but Fang Zhou saw many signs of excavation along the way.

A thought crossed his mind: could this be the place where wizards discovered the vertical-pupil eyeball?

The eyeball has mysterious and unfathomable abilities; perhaps being absorbed into it would transport someone to where it was discovered.

The two ventured deeper into the cavern, and soon a vast space opened up before them, with innumerable human figures on the ground.

These figures caused Ming Aoshuang to let out a gasp, but on closer inspection, she discovered they were all bronze statues.

All the statues knelt on the ground, with seemingly hundreds or thousands of them stretching into the distance.

At the end of the statues stood a pyramid-shaped altar, identical to the altar Fang Zhou had seen in the desert underground ruins.

The top of the altar wasn't adorned with a statue but with a long pillar-shaped stone, the top of which had a recessed hollow pit, its surface polished smooth.

This place was clearly meant to house the vertical-pupil eyeball.

Seeing the hollow pit empty, Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. He had thought the vertical-pupil eyeball would return here, but it seemed he was wrong.

Beside him, Ming Aoshuang suddenly faced an unexpected situation. Upon seeing the altar, her entire body shuddered as if losing strength, and she plummeted from the air.

Fang Zhou, quick of hand and eye, reached out and caught her.

A point of red light emerged from Ming Aoshuang's forehead, rapidly enlarging into the vertical-pupil eyeball.

Fang Zhou was taken aback, not expecting the eyeball to have been hiding inside Ming Aoshuang all along.

After emerging from Ming Aoshuang, the vertical-pupil eyeball instantly flew towards the altar.

Fang Zhou hurriedly pursued it with Ming Aoshuang, a sudden instinct flaring within him not to let the vertical-pupil eyeball return.

Just then, an unforeseen change occurred; Ming Aoshuang's hair and eyes turned pale blue, and Beiming Heavenly Phoenix appeared at this time to seize control of Ming Aoshuang's body.

Fang Zhou simply dropped her to the ground and then quickly chased after the vertical-pupil eyeball.

The vertical-pupil eyeball was fast, but not faster than Fang Zhou. He immediately summoned Bi An, lunging forward to grab the eyeball.

He used the substitute mainly to avoid being sucked into the eyeball again.

This time it was safe; the eyeball was grasped by Bi An and didn't suck Bi An away.

Fang Zhou didn't feel assured and took out a gourd to suck the vertical-pupil eyeball into it.

When he turned around after securing the eyeball, Ming Aoshuang, who had been dropped to the ground, was already flying back up.

With pale blue hair and eyes, Beiming Heavenly Phoenix now controlled Ming Aoshuang's body.

She looked coldly at Fang Zhou but didn't immediately attack, instead choosing to speak.

"Hand... over... the Heavenly Repair Stone..."
