"At that ti, they gave a wooden box."
"That wooden box was the gift I was ant to bring to the senior."
"I couldn’t take the wooden box away, but I opened it and saw what was inside."
Fang Yuan said slowly.
As he spoke, the entire surface of the river fell into a deep silence, only the sound of breathing and the gentle flow of the River of Ti could be heard.
"A pair of eyes." Fang Yuan’s voice echoed over the water, reverberating for a long ti.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu’s pupils shrank sharply, and he asked, "A pair of eyes?"
"Yes."
"A pair of human eyes, to be precise, a pair of eyeballs, as if they were forcibly gouged out from their sockets."
At that ti, when Fang Yuan first saw that what was placed inside the wooden box was a pair of eyeballs, his heart was thrown into turmoil.
Because he couldn’t imagine, what was the reason for sending ’eyes’?
...
Upon hearing this, Su Mu fell into deep thought, starting to recall the events he encountered in recent years.
He also began to recall the people he has t over the years, but none of the mories were related to ’eyeballs.’
He was also pondering why the enemy went through so much trouble to send him a pair of eyeballs?
Whose eyes were they?
What was the intention of presenting them to him?
...
"Senior, I’ll draw it for you."
Fang Yuan then slowly raised his right hand, with Spiritual Power swirling at his fingertips, and began to draw in the void before him.
He started drawing the appearance and details of the eyeballs based on the mories in his mind.
As he was drawing the ’eyeballs,’ he felt an inexplicable resistance tugging at his hand and distinctly sensed an unseen Power of Cause and Effect preventing him.
Halfway through the drawing, his face flushed red, and his whole body trembled.
His eyes turned blood-red, blood stread down from the corners, and his hands petrified, suspended in midair, unable to continue the drawing.
"Senior, I seem... unable to draw it."
Fang Yuan forced out a sentence with all his might from his throat, his face pale, looking sowhat pained.
He could also feel that the mories of the pair of eyeballs in his mind were beginning to blur.
Soone was erasing his mories.
Or perhaps Fang Yuan was unable to bear such a powerful cause and effect.
In All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there exists a law of cause and effect regulating the normal and orderly progress of everything.
Matters containing large causes and effects, once spoken, might trigger unimaginable chain reactions.
This ans that the matter Fang Yuan was about to tell Su Mu contained such imnse cause and effect that he couldn’t bear it, lacking even the qualifications to speak it.
....
"Senior, my mories seem to be fading away." Fang Yuan began to panic at this critical mont.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu also noticed the abnormality in Fang Yuan’s body and sensed a powerful Power of Law flowing over him.
This Power of Law had an unknown origin, seemingly descending upon Fang Yuan out of nowhere, controlling his physical body and Sea of Consciousness.
Seeing this, Su Mu waved his hand, intending to use Spiritual Power to dispel this suprely powerful law.
The instant Su Mu’s Spiritual Power touched that law.
That Power of Law seed struck by lightning and swiftly retreated, withdrawing from Fang Yuan, vanishing into the void, disappearing without a trace.
...
In essence, at its origin, the Power of Cause and Effect is inferior to the Ti Law.
There exists a very strict hierarchy of suppression among laws.
The Ti Law transcends all laws; only the Ti Law can suppress the law of cause and effect, and it can only be the Ti Law!
In theory, Su Mu’s Spiritual Power shouldn’t have been able to dispel the Power of Cause and Effect.
But the retreat of the Power of Cause and Effect indicates that Su Mu’s Spiritual Power already contained the Ti Law!
What Su Mu himself doesn’t know is that.
When his River Affinity reached ninety percent, he had already beco ’one with’ the River of Ti, ti was , I was ti.
Not just Su Mu’s Spiritual Power contained the Ti Law; his Sea of Consciousness, soul, blood, and everything in his body all contained the Ti Law.
Moreover, this Ti Law within Su Mu slightly exceeds the law of the River of Ti itself in essence.
Because the Ti Law is unconscious, but Su Mu is conscious, aning the Ti Law in Su Mu is conscious.
The difference between a conscious Ti Law and an unconscious Ti Law lies in essential superiority to the Ti Law itself!
That ans a higher and more perfect ’Ti Law’ is already beginning to manifest in Su Mu!
As to what level this Ti Law will evolve, only when Su Mu fully rges with the entire River will an answer be provided.
....
When Su Mu’s Spiritual Power descended upon Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan distinctly felt that supre energy constantly fading his mories instantly disappeared.
Without any obstruction, he quickened his speed, and after a few breaths, finally drew the images from his mory.
Su Mu gazed at the painting in front of him.
His pupils suddenly contracted, his whole body froze, and a sealed mory surged in his mind.
These eyeballs, he seed to have seen them before!
.....
Several years ago, it was only his third year in this river.
He followed the main river upstream, going a great distance, so far he thought it was the end.
At the ’end,’ he accidentally entered a cetery.
The cetery was full of gigantic tombstones, a mory etched deeply in his mind.
He even dug open several tombstones, discovering arms, legs, etc., buried beneath them.
It seed like a person’s body, dismbered into three thousand parts, buried in that cetery!
Finally, he found an unnad tombstone, dug it open, and found a small wooden box buried beneath it.
Inside the small wooden box was a pair of eyes.
Those eyes were exactly the sa as the ones Fang Yuan had drawn!
.......
He rembered putting those eyes in a wooden box and taking them with him.
As he found no special function for them, he placed the wooden box with the eyes inside a corner of his room.
It was not until he saw the painting Fang Yuan made that Su Mu suddenly rembered this matter.
At this mont, Su Mu ca to his senses and said to Fang Yuan, "Stay here, don’t wander around, I’ll be right back."
After saying this, Su Mu disappeared from where he stood.
The next second, he was back ho.
He rushed into his room, searching for the wooden box he had left in the corner years ago.
After searching for a long ti, his pupils suddenly shrank, discovering an incredibly terrifying thing.
