Chapter 1068: Chapter 821: Mysterious Life
"Have you always been getting food this way?" Long Yi asked as he pointed to the food that kept multiplying on the table.
"Yes, we have always been making food this way," the chef said matter-of-factly.
Long Yi glanced at the food next to him, noting that it all contained faint traces of Kela Particles. However, since they weren’t concentrated, it didn’t make them difficult to swallow. But he found the strange method of food creation completely incomprehensible.
"If you had to continue making food like this, could you produce an endless supply?" he asked.
"Certainly not... Actually, making food can be exhausting," several chefs replied, looking anxious.
From every perspective, this seemed like ripping open space and retrieving food from another dimension, but being here, it was just so-called ’making’?
This was truly bizarre at every turn.
After the banquet had ended, the Emperor gave his own sleeping chamber to Long Yi. Long Yi surveyed the surroundings and everything seemed new without the slightest sign of use. The paint on some pieces of furniture wasn’t even dry. This makeshift nation was eerily strange through and through.
Long Yi scanned the room thoroughly, finding nothing amiss. Yet he couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched, which seemed to come from all directions.
At that moment, in a place unseen by Long Yi, almost all of the inhabitants of the Cyclops Nation were staring in the direction of his sleeping chamber. Their enormous single eyes pierced through the walls as if they could see Long Yi directly.
Although Long Yi didn’t understand what was happening, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He suddenly let out a sly chuckle and, without warning, cast a flash spell. Instantly, a suppressed cry of pain came from outside the sleeping chamber.
As expected, you Cyclops are really not just for show!
Long Yi cast a barrier spell around himself, creating a sphere that blocked all magical and optical prying. When the Cyclops tried to set their sights back on Long Yi’s direction, they found it covered by a black sphere. They all diverted their gazes and quietly remained still.
The next morning, Long Yi got up early. The air outside wasn’t as fresh as he expected, but filled with a strange scent that he found difficult to describe as either pleasant or foul. This odor had been there since he first arrived and hadn’t dissipated. Additionally, the sunlight above, though bright, seemed to contain almost no energy. Long Yi had once absorbed the energy of a star, which was a vast and warm power, but the light here was just pure brightness, lacking any energy.
Seeing Long Yi appear, the Cyclops king, who had been waiting outside early, hurried over to warmly greet him.
"I plan on leaving now," Long Yi said bluntly.
"Leaving? Was our hospitality not perfect?" the king said, suddenly agitated.
"No, I don’t belong here, so I must leave. I need to find the road back," Long Yi replied.
The king of Cyclops Nation looked troubled. "If you leave, what will we do if the Three-eyed Clan attacks us again?"
Long Yi smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, I’ll wipe out the entire Three-eyed Clan before I leave!"
Hearing this, the Cyclops king was first stunned, clearly not expecting such a promise from Long Yi.
"This... this is wonderful!" The king’s face showed a belated look of excitement.
"So, goodbye everyone!"
With that, Long Yi no longer wasted words. He took to the air and flew straight towards the high sky in the distance!
As the king of Cyclops Nation watched Long Yi fly away, his brows furrowed deeply. His expression gradually became vacant, then he fell to the ground motionless. Not only him, but all the seemingly busy Cyclops also collapsed. At the same time, everything around began to vanish, including furniture, decorations, and even their clothes. Buildings started to melt away and disappear off the ground.
In the end, the Cyclops themselves merged into the ground and disappeared as well.
Long Yi, oblivious to the changes behind him, continued to ascend. With his rich experience in space travel, he decided to ascend and find out the truth about this planet.
However, upon reaching a certain altitude, he ran into an energy barrier. The barrier wasn’t hard but was so strong that it firmly locked the entire space, preventing Long Yi from ascending further. He decisively cast a Gluttonous Snake spell, but it had no effect. The barrier wasn’t a rule but a purely powerful energy field, and its power far exceeded Long Yi’s current strength.
High above, Long Yi stared at the glowing star overhead, just staring at it. For some reason, he felt as though the light held a trace of mocking humor.
Then Long Yi also laughed.
It seemed this world didn’t play by that set of rules.
By now he had risen high enough to see the entire continent’s outline, then he charged straight in the direction of the Three-eyed Clan. His speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he could see the entire outline of the Three-eyed Clan’s village.
Magic cascaded into formation instantly, countless magic missiles fell from the sky, and the people of the Three-eyed Clan didn’t even know what happened before their entire so-called ’nation’ was destroyed! Not even one person was spared!
After doing all this, Long Yi headed straight towards the Two-eyed Clan’s direction, where he found no traces of any living creatures’ activities. Then Long Yi actually returned to the Cyclops Clan’s domain, where once again, the entire Cyclops Clan reappeared, but they were not faster than Long Yi. His speed was too fast; he even teleported through space several times, which allowed him to witness the Cyclops Clan hurriedly reorganizing themselves. However, Long Yi was indifferent about where they came from, as magic cascaded down once more, completely destroying the Cyclops Clan.
Then, Long Yi landed on the ground and looked up at the sunlight above, beckoning with his hand.
Immediately, an incredibly deep laughter thunderously emanated from all around.
"Hehehehe, you are an extremely intelligent creature, to have detected my presence!"
The deep and slow speech made Long Yi’s whole body uncomfortable.
Then, the sun above him slowly began to approach!
Subsequently, Long Yi was bound by an intense light, hovering in mid-air, while the ground beneath him burst open with a roar. Long Yi saw countless eyes, large and small, flying out from the fissures in the ground, rushing towards the light ahead, then those eyes merged together, forming a gigantic planet.
That planet was a huge Cyclops eye, and it was composed of countless eyes of varying sizes!
"Perhaps we need to reintroduce ourselves to one another, don’t we, Pioneer of the Giants?"
The words of the Cyclops startled Long Yi, as he should have hidden his giant identity with the Giant mask, so why was it still seen through?
"You’re thinking about why you were seen through? Because this is my world, there are no secrets here. Everything about you, from the exterior to the interior, is within my sight, and everything you’ve done and are about to do is also within my sight. I can see your past, present, and future. Here, in the fissure of time and space, I am the only Overlord!"
The planet-sized Cyclops eye let out a deafening laugh. Long Yi then scoffed and said with disdain, "I once traveled through time, can you do that?"
The Cyclops broke into immediate laughter, "Don’t lie, Pioneer, time travel even at the height of the Giants’ supremacy was an exceedingly dangerous activity. You traveled through time? Hahahaha! That’s just too funny!"
"Look, just now you were bragging that there are no secrets from your eyes, and the next thing you said immediately gave you away. What should I call you, stupid?" Long Yi intended to reply casually but inadvertently discovered that the Cyclops couldn’t actually see through everything with ease.
"If that’s the case, why haven’t you used time travel to escape?" The Cyclops pulled Long Yi even closer, with a touch of contempt in its words.
"Because I haven’t figured out what exactly you want to do with me, especially after I’ve destroyed your utterly irrational worlds, what else can you continue to do?" Long Yi looked quite relaxed.
"Hmm... Indeed, as Elma described, you are a reckless and audacious person, not even knowing to fear the powerful."
"Powerful? You? Haha, since you know I’m a Giant, then you should know what true power is."
The Cyclops fell silent for a moment, its eye’s light flickering, "I have to admit, the Giants of old were indeed so powerful that even I could not comprehend their strength; even gods were filled with fear of the Giants’ might. But unfortunately, my boy, you are not those Giants of old, nor do you possess their powerful strength. You’re just a Pioneer, and your weak body dictates that you’re nothing more than a slightly stronger ordinary person."
"So, how do you plan to deal with me, this ordinary person, kill me?" Long Yi was already beginning to grow anxious; the power of the Cyclops was completely unforeseen, and he needed to be exceedingly cautious.
"Kill? No, I won’t do that. I need your help; I need Elma to help me escape this fissure, as I’ve been here for a hundred thousand years. I must return to my world, and you will help Elma to complete this task."
"Given that our communication has been less than friendly, are you sure I will help you?" Long Yi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It doesn’t matter; after a while, you will completely obey me, you will become my Puppet, and my Eye Worms will control your brain’s thoughts — though don’t worry, once I leave here, my Eye Worms will die, and then you’ll be free."
Upon hearing this, Long Yi was momentarily stunned. This sounded as though the other party was not exactly an irredeemable scoundrel.
"Are you sure you’d rather rely on a scoundrel who would even betray his own lifesaver than turn and ask for help from me, a Giant?" Long Yi retorted.
