After a "thud," a light screen appeared in the air before the two of them. At first, it resembled the snowy static image seen on a television with poor signal, but after a while, it transformed into a blue screen.
"Wow, could this really be a high-tech product?" Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but comment. Could this Stone Box actually be some kind of television box? Was that so-called Mirror Guardian inside just a TV screen? And was the image displayed either a live broadcast or a replay? This seemed too far-fetched.
Yun Tianmo held the Stone Box in one hand and turned to look at Ouyang Zixin, whose mouth was agape. "What high-tech product?"
Feeling somewhat guilty, Ouyang Zixin stuck out her tongue and avoided his gaze, thinking that this would be hard to explain. Besides, Yun Tianmo was clearly not someone easy to fool. Just as she was unsure how to respond, the light screen in the air changed. She quickly pointed at the screen to draw Yun Tianmo's attention away.
A strange pattern appeared on the light screen, vaguely resembling a sphere. As it gradually became clearer, Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but gasp, and Yun Tianmo shot her a cold glance.
It was the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram again.
Now even Yun Tianmo couldn't doubt it; even Ouyang Zixin herself found it hard to believe that this Millennium Ruins had no connection to her. First, there was the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram on each stone door, then it appeared in the Underground Palace as the Taiji Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram, and now the first pattern projected by this Stone Box was also it.
"Hey, don't look at me. I really don't know."
Although Yun Tianmo's expression remained cold, there was warmth in his eyes. He didn't actually care how much Ouyang Zixin was involved with the Millennium Ruins. In fact, he thought it would be best if this Millennium Ruins existed for Ouyang Zixin's sake. That way, she would have more leverage when navigating the Yuhai Continent and wouldn't be easily manipulated due to her status.
Like Nangong Yao.
Yun Tianmo reached out and gently patted Ouyang Zixin's head with a hint of affection. "Don't worry; I will only be happy for you."
Happy?
Ouyang Zixin looked completely bewildered. Before entering the Millennium Ruins, including her father and Rong Yi, weren't they all quite worried about whether she had any connection to this Millennium Ruins? Why was Yun Tianmo happy for her now?
With a light sigh, Yun Tianmo truly did not understand how this woman’s mind worked; sometimes she was incredibly sharp, while at other times, well, a bit slow.
"The illusion has been eliminated."
After the blue light on the screen faded, these words appeared.
"What the heck. It's actually in English?!" Ouyang Zixin translated the English text on the screen and noticed that Yun Tianmo was looking at her with an even stranger expression, which made her chuckle and point at the screen, saying, "Look, let's see what else it has."
As for the English part, it could wait for another opportunity to explain. Of course, if it could be avoided altogether, that would be best.
The illusion was not a system error but a kind of test. It utilized illusions to conduct some sort of assessment on the Lucky One. This meant testing and then confirming whether the Lucky One's inherent potential was sufficient to become the master of the system. If the Lucky One's potential was inadequate, the system would automatically terminate; if sufficient, then the system would proceed to the next stage of testing.
While Ouyang Zixin read and translated, she understood most of it, but after translating, she felt somewhat confused. What exactly was this thing? A discrimination system?
After listening to Ouyang Zixin's translation, Yun Tianmo pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the next stage of testing?"
It seemed that this might be some mechanism that required certain conditions to be met before unlocking the next level. In other words, simply obtaining this Fortune Day did not guarantee inheritance; one had to pass all tests to truly acquire it. Otherwise, it could very well be destroyed or fall into silence.
"There’s no information about what the next stage of testing is," Ouyang Zixin looked up at the screen for quite a while; it still displayed the same text without any new information appearing.
"Tian Ying, what are they looking at for so long?" Baike helped Yun Tianying stand up. She observed that Yun Tianmo and Ouyang Zixin had been standing there for quite some time; initially, they seemed to be fiddling with the Stone Box in their hands, but now they had just been standing there staring for a while.
Yun Tianying smiled lightly and shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either. The two were just standing there with their heads tilted back, and nothing appeared in front of them, so he couldn’t answer Baike’s question.
"It appeared!" Ouyang Zixin suddenly jumped up excitedly and tugged at Yun Tianmo's sleeve, saying, "The next stage of testing is control; the system will control the Lucky One's thoughts and emotions to further proceed from the first stage illusion test..."
As Ouyang Zixin read on, her voice grew louder until she could no longer pronounce a single word at the end; she stared blankly at the screen as if she had turned into a fool.
Yun Tianmo furrowed his brows and glanced at her. He couldn't recognize the graphic-like characters on the screen at all. Without Ouyang Zixin's translation, he might as well be blind. However, looking at her expression, she seemed stunned by the content above. What could it possibly say?
He really wanted to know!
——Master... it turns out, those were all...
Nameless couldn't understand either, but its existence was like a cheat. If Ouyang Zixin understood it, then he could grasp the meaning too. It turned out they both had misunderstood Yun Tianmo; everything was an illusion. The voice in their minds was just the system controlling them, stirring their negative emotions and inciting the hatred in their hearts...
So embarrassing...
Nameless thought, if Yun Tianmo found out about this, he would probably laugh at them for a long time.
Ouyang Zixin felt like crying without tears. What on earth was going on? This was just too cruel! This damn system.
She had been so heartbroken before, mocking him coldly, and now she wanted nothing more than to disappear from his sight... If only she could be an ostrich for a while, avoiding such a "cruel" reality.
At that moment, Nameless unexpectedly withdrew without loyalty, losing the initial enthusiasm to confront Yun Tianmo. It simply said, "Cloud Young Master probably won't remember Nameless," and then fell silent, no matter how much Ouyang Zixin provoked it; it refused to appear again.
"Hmm?"
Yun Tianmo looked at Ouyang Zixin, who appeared conflicted as if engaged in an inner battle over something. However, the characters on the screen were fading more and more. He couldn't help but feel impatient and once again urged her to quickly translate what was written above. (To be continued.)
