Ten days later.
Siam, Songka Port.
A hotel.
"This is fucking ridiculous."
"He died."
Jiang Qiao lay on the bed, considering his next move.
Huang Tian's death had made him more cautious. He hadn't rushed to the island.
A powerhouse on the Divinity Staircase.
Simply recalling what he had seen had blown him apart.
There was only one possibility.
A Deity!
"There's a Deity on that island."
"For some unknown reason, he didn't die on the spot back then, but his memory of the experience was sealed away."
"Now that he forced it open..."
"He remembered what the Deity looked like and died on the spot."
"That also tells me something."
"The one who tampered with his memory probably wasn't the Deity. It was someone else."
But...
Was there anyone else on the island?
Huang Tian hadn't mentioned anyone.
So Jiang Qiao couldn't tell whether his guess was wrong or that memory had been sealed away too.
Either way,
even if it wasn't a Deity, anyone capable of tampering with the memory of a Divinity Staircase powerhouse was worth watching out for.
What bothered him even more
was what Huang Tian had said just before he died.
"Eyes..."
"So many eyes..."
Dual Pupils sprang into Jiang Qiao's mind almost at once.
The vision that Deity had once shown him contained a temple, possibly the same one that stood on Changyang Mountain in the Supernatural World of later generations.
And as it happened,
there was a Deity in that temple too.
Light the brazier,
and a terrifying eye would appear high in the sky.
And Huang Tian...
had spoken of eyes before he died.
Was it a coincidence?
Probably not.
"Fuck, the Simulator won't even give me a hint." Jiang Qiao glanced at the task panel, which showed no new information,
