๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐บ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐, ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ,
The Life Sacred Land was extremely huge, its sheer size ten thousand times bigger than the Azure Continent. At the center of the Life Sacred Land, was an ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ whose towering height seemed to connect the highest heavens and the mortal world.
From another perspective, the ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ appeared to be supporting the whole weight of the heavens from crumbling down to earth.
Its humongous branches stretched widely in unison, bearing within them verdant green leaves and multi-colored fruits oozing extremely potent life energy.
Its forest green thick and sturdy bark radiated the allure of ultra-high quality material for both artifact refinement and alchemy.
At the base of the gigantic tree, complex roots that gave off the feeling of being alive spread out like labyrinthine tendrils, digging far deeper into the recesses of the earth. If only there was the existence of the ๐ก๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐, then the ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ would have been akin to a miniaturized ๐ฌ๐ด๐ด๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐น.
At the uppermost branch of the Ancient Tree of Life was a majestic palace of crystalline green that seemed like the heart of the Life Sacred Land. Well, the subtle fluctuations of a remnant power beyond ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ pulsating around it bore witness to a greater being residing there.
"A Ninth God Eye or maybe something more? That ripple bears no resemblance to anything I have ever felt before. It gives me the feeling that it's above everything." A heavenly voice that seemed to be in sync with everything in nature lightly echoed inside the palatial confines.
The bearer of such a magnificent voice was a beautiful woman sitting on an immaculate, verdant green throne weaved out of the Ancient Tree of Life.
She wore light green Imperial robes that suggestively hugged her slender but mouth-watering curves. She had tall slender legs, bereft of any sort of imperfection, peeking out of her flowing robes.
Her pearly skin was soft and tender, her slender nose gracefully sculpted with detailed precision.
Just like her natural green wavy tumbles of waist-length hair, her powerful eyes reminded one of a beautiful spring and unforgettable intimacy.
This woman with a regal, transcendent poise was the Life Goddess, the one and only possessor of the Life God Eye!
If Zhao Wei had been here, he could have easily put two and two together while sighing about how the heavens liked to bless the jade beauties with such looks.
"All lives within the cosmos are interconnected via the supreme laws of Life but it's a pityโฆ" The Life Goddess sighed indifferently.
Just how many times had she been frustrated to the point of being indifferent?
"Even though I have perfected the Life Laws, I don't think I can easily pinpoint the origin of the ripple whose very essence seems to disrupt the intricate mechanisms behind reality." Her insightful gaze extended far beyond the crystalline palace, spanning the vast reaches of the Life Sacred Land and beyond.
The Life Goddess understood that her control over the Supreme Laws of Life originated from the God Eye Bloodline coursing through her veins. It was her birthright as if Fate had decreed so ever since she came into existence.
But with such a decree from Fate, naturally came invisible limitations that made her unable to cross some certain boundaries unlessโฆ
"It's impossible. I can deduce everyone within the Life Sacred Land and that seems to be my current limit. Maybe the Destiny Goddess can calculate fate and trace the origin of this mysterious person," She spoke to herself, her voice still full of doubt. She didn't fully believe that the ever-so-mysterious Destiny Goddess could easily control everything.
Anyway, the Destiny Goddess would always make her uncomfortable.
Gently combing her soft hair behind her elf-like ear, a rare smile graced her face. It was a smile that seemed to radiate life into everything in existence even a person on the verge of death would surely revive after witnessing it.
"Why do I feel like I will be meeting that person quite soon?"
A woman's intuition could sometimes really affect reality!

Beyond the Life Sacred Land, Within the Yangling Zone, in the hidden subspaces of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods,
An old man with a genial aura sat with his legs crossed within the turbulence of spatial storms capable of disintegrating any existence below the 3rd Heaven.
To survive the destructive energies of the void, one had to, at least, perfect a law.
The old man seemed to be in harmony with the conceptual space and time around him.
The old gray robes he wore were anything but simple as space runes, no, his law comprehension had manifested on them!
This old man belonged to an era before the Life Goddess - He was the Spacetime God and he controlled space and time as he wished(Unfortunately he was more proficient in the Laws of Space than Time). He also was the possessor of the Spacetime God Eye.
All of a sudden, the old man opened his eyes, revealing deep pools that looked like two black holes. His eyes emanated the aura of antiquity as if he had seen and lived through countless eras that spanned hundreds of billions of years.
"Did that ripple just travel across all points of ๐ง๐๐ ๐?" A grim expression settled on the Spacetime God's face.
'This is going to be a big deal as it concerns the future of the Fan Universe.'
The Spacetime God exhaled slowly and his breath inadvertently shattered the space before him as seen by the small mirror-like crack on its fabric.
***
The ripple of an unknown source had roused different reactions from various prominent figures of the Fan Universe and they were only left with unanswered questions.
In the Great Canopy Country, at the tower of the Six Warlock Divine Sage, there was someone who got a hold of little clues through divination but at what cost?

Back to the Broken Moon Sect,
Zhao Wei was reveling in the new changes of the evolved [๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐].
He touched a black stone from the ground and intently stared at it. Abruptly, lines of text gradually materialized in his vision like a small HUD(Heads-up Display).
***
โจBlack Stoneโฉ
A random stone picked from the ground.
***
Then with a thought, he dispersed the text.
Zhao Wei then took a pill bottle from his pocket before placing a shiny blue pill with a crystalline surface on his palm. Its pill aroma was expertly contained within, even Zhao Wei could barely register its scent and only due to his strong olfactory senses, which were akin to that of a voracious beast, could he perceive the almost imperceptible aroma.
He then forced his newly gained ability to activate.

โจMarrow Cleansing Pillโฉ
This is a perfect-grade pill created by the junior alchemist, Zhao Wei.
The pill is of the highest quality as it has retained 99.9% of its medicinal power
Created from the following ingredients: Spirit Marrow Herb, Five Seasons Flower, Hundred-Year-Old Purple Ginseng, Violet Grass, and three drops of Pure Spiritual Water.
Effects: Used to cleanse the marrows and improve the quality of the blood. It's also an important pill for Physical Body Refiners.
***
"Tch, only 99.9 percent? Why does it feel like a mockery?" Zhao Wei groaned in displeasure at the evaluation of his pill, arduously created from his blood and sweat.
"Anyway, even though the evolution didn't straight up grant me battle-oriented abilities, its information perception is still very valuable, if not more." Zhao Wei analyzed the advantages of having this appraisal ability.
He was satisfied with it as everything directly linked to reality stemmed from one thing: Knowledge.
"Let's call the new ability, Truth Discernment. With one sweep of my gaze, all the truth and falsehood of the world shall be laid bare in the open!" Zhao Wei named the new ability instead of giving it something generic like 'Eyes of Appraisal'.
Just then an interesting thought came to his mind and a mischievous smile formed on his face.
"Should I analyze my physique?"

Enjoy!

What do you think about the newly gained ability? Is it useful? Of course, evolution doesn't mean being overpowered but creating versatility and survivability for the host.
It gives me space to develop it together with its limitations and strengths.
Hope it sated everyone's curiosity!
