"The Eye of Tranquil Death, originating from an existence beyond dinsions..." Xiao Yongsheng was poring over a vast amount of material at his desk, and finally found the existence of this statue. This statue was the embodint of an entity known as the Eye of Tranquil Death. According to the records, it was said to be the eye of a certain existence.
There were no further details recorded, but the texts were filled with descriptions revolving around the Eye of Tranquil Death.
"By sacrificing to the Eye of Tranquil Death, one can obtain the power to live forever and never die," Xiao Yongsheng's expression reflected a feverish enthusiasm.
And the offering was death itself.
Yes, the Eye of Tranquil Death fed on death. As long as death— be it of a person or an object— was consud by It, then it would never die. Even if one were aged or reduced to minceat, one could be resurrected ti and again.
The ancestors of Xiao Yongsheng had once made such a sacrifice to the Eye of Tranquil Death, only to have it thwarted by the imperial court, ending in futility.
"I need to sacrifice a million people to reach the standard, this is really..."
The number of a million people was truly imnse. Even though his company, Eternal Life Technology, had extended its reach into various global sectors, it was still impossible to achieve this feat.
No wonder his ancestors had been stopped by the imperial court; assembling a million was an extrely horrifying act of the ancestors.
"Hopefully, my ability to foresee the future will do the trick." Xiao Yongsheng had also found the na for his own unusual eyes in the docunts. His ancestor who had made the sacrifice to the Eye of Tranquil Death also possessed these eyes. Otherwise, how could an illiterate commoner manage to sacrifice a million people, although it ended in failure.
"However, it's not like it can't be done." Xiao Yongsheng's expression carried a chill.
A population of a million was a colossal number in ancient tis, but in the present day, just considering the federation where he resided, with its population of thirty billion, even third-tier cities had populations of a million.
So as long as he figured out a way to beco the controller of a city, then he would be able to accomplish this.
Even if he moved to more remote areas, and with his status providing financial support, it would generally go unquestioned.
In modern tis, the Eye of Tranquil Death had long since declined. After his ancestor's failed sacrifice, the imperial court destroyed all accessible docunts and cut off the church among the common people, so now no one knew of these things anymore. Even if they did, it would not be of much concern.
In a world that exalted science above all, telling people about gods and ghosts seed utterly absurd. No one would believe such a thing.
"Then let's choose my hotown."
After his ancestors' failure, the head of the Eye of Tranquil Death sect was not executed but managed to escape. He returned to his hotown, silently rewrote the destroyed docunts, and buried the last statue of the Eye of Tranquil Death underneath the old family ho.
Otherwise, he would never have been able to turn his life around.
"My hotown has a permanent population of seven million. If they were all sacrificed, not only would the Eye of Tranquil Death consu the death within , but I would also receive additional blessings."
Xiao Yongsheng did not care that these things were granted by so entity; to him, this was immortality, true immortality.
It was incomparable to any of the inferior products.
"Xiao Li, co here for a mont. Have the company draft a set of regulations for ; I'm planning to approve a sum of money as a token of appreciation for Yunxing City. Let's start with ten billion for now. Oh, and I have so requirents for the design plan; make sure to recruit so people to handle it." After tidying up his things, Xiao Yongsheng notified Assistant Li via the intercom.
Assistant Li hurried over, walking briskly while phoning to inform the company.
"Chairman Xiao, we can't squeeze out a hundred billion in funds at the mont," Assistant Li reported with difficulty, having just communicated with Eternal Life Technology.
"What? A hundred billion can't be handled? Didn't I just see there were a thousand billion in liquid funds on the books? What's going on." Xiao Yongsheng, as the controller, was highly sensitive to financial matters.
"It was Young Master Xiao who misappropriated them. The current whereabouts are unknown, and we are still investigating."
"Although it was subtly suggested by accounting that it might be Young Master Xiao using it to pursue Su Man."
These words turned Xiao Yongsheng's face an ashen hue; squandering a hundred billion chasing a receptionist was unheard of even for a wastrel.
"Hadn't his position been revoked already? How could he still manipulate the funds?" Xiao Yongsheng was very dissatisfied.
"Young Master Xiao didn't leave, and he used his identity to forcibly take action. The finance director is currently hospitalized, and the other financial personnel have been injured as well," Assistant Li reported. This Young Master Xiao hadn't inherited Xiao Yongsheng's abilities but had fully acquired Xiao Yongsheng's 'domineering spirit', also known colloquially as the thug vibe.
"This unfilial son, unfilial!" Xiao Yongsheng's blood pressure surged, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Investigate this for . Also, tell him to roll back ho." Killing intent glead in Xiao Yongsheng's eyes. A son was nothing but when he sacrificed to the Eye of Tranquil Death and gained immortality, it wouldn't matter whether he had descendants or not.
"Send Old Chen to visit the finance departnt staff, calm them down. We can't afford incidents at this ti," Xiao Yongsheng cald down before speaking.
"This... The staff of the finance departnt has all collectively resigned in fear. We just got the news that the finance director was actually in ICU for ergency treatnt, and just a mont ago, the resuscitation failed," Assistant Li's expression was also grave.
