The essence of power is control!
The world is filled with countless forces, but only what you can control truly belongs to you.
Xu Xiao's consistent philosophy has always been that any power, no matter what it is, is a good power if it can be controlled and will not affect oneself when one becomes stronger.
Therefore, he will learn and try any kind of power, all for the sake of becoming stronger.
As his consciousness took over, a brand new organ grew between his eyebrows.
It wasn't the Rinnegan or the Sharingan, but a pure gold vertical pupil.
It was as if it had been cast from molten gold, shimmering with a faint divine light; just one glance at it seemed to draw your very soul into it.
Within the very center of the pupil, there are tiny specks of golden light, representing its control over the power system.
" The Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena?"
Xu Xiao muttered to himself, the name flashing through his mind the moment the vertical pupils were born.
As early as when Xu Xiao's body first underwent a strange change and developed Telekinesis, Xu Xiao wondered if one day he would grow a third eye between his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, a 'Divine Eye' was actually born today!
The golden vertical pupil between his brows slowly rotated. With the help of this eye, Xu Xiao could see things more accurately than with Divine Sense, and even see some intangible things.
For example, conceptual products similar to rules, such as the power of desire and faith.
Xu Xiao's golden eyes swept over everyone present, revealing their various desires: fear, curiosity, greed, adoration...
All sorts of emotions existing in his subconscious were clearly visible in his eyes. In the distance, Xu Xiao could also see specks of golden light entering his body from every corner of the world and even from beyond the world.
Under the sweeping gaze of the Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena, all these golden lights were the power of will from humans in different worlds.
These golden rays entered Xu Xiao's body, and instead of shrinking into a corner of his Sea of Consciousness as usual, they all concentrated in Xu Xiao's golden eyes.
It was as if with just a thought, the power of faith that Xu Xiao could not yet control could be transformed into his power.
It wasn't just the power of faith; Xu Xiao had a feeling that he only needed to give orders to those who had been planted with the Seed of Desire, and everything about them would become resources for his growth.
"Interesting. Eyes that see through the essence of everything, and eyes that can freely control and transform the power I possess?"
"This is a truly unexpected gain!"
Xu Xiao slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
The world, which was originally ordinary, revealed its true nature under the analysis of the Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena.
The World Authority that he could originally perceive through the Heavens World-Crossing Gate was now revealed to him one by one.
The rules that form the foundation of the world are all exposed to someone who has not yet mastered them.
With a little more research, Xu Xiao could easily grasp a corner of it and truly gain control over the rules.
"Law Analysis! Energy Integration and Transformation!"
"It truly lives up to the name 'Wanxiang,' and it perfectly matches my eyes."
Xu Xiao smiled and closed his third eye, which had just awakened and still had the potential to grow further.
However, the two powers we already have are enough to make us supermodels!
"With the power of the Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena, once I learn and master the essence of a certain power, I can transform my original power into its use."
"This greatly facilitates my path to sweep across the heavens and conquer all worlds."
With a thought, Xu Xiao realized that even without opening his golden eyes, he could transform the power within his body into any form he could control.
Magic Power, Chakra, Telekinesis, pure spiritual power— Xu Xiao even felt he could directly imbue his physical body with these powers, making him a monster who could freely control the mass of his body and traverse the universe with his physical form.
"However, it's not that easy. The more I understand the essence of a power, the faster I can transform it. If I already have some expertise in it, then the process will be extremely fast."
"This requires the analytical capabilities of the Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena!"
"I can even see the existence of concepts like world laws, desires, and beliefs. After that, nothing, whether it's energy, magical structures, or even fundamental rules, will be difficult for me!"
Xu Xiao's face broke into an excited smile.
This is an incredibly overpowered ability. Take, for example, the path to godhood that Xu Xiao has been researching: the Dao of Desire and the path of faith.
With the power of the Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena, he could see through everything that he would otherwise have to explore and comprehend with just this eye.
For example, in the Dao of Desire, Xu Xiao can directly see the desires in everyone, and can even directly extract a portion of them by relying on the Seed of Desire.
As for the path to godhood through faith, he has already seen the power of faith firsthand. He only needs to see how a God exercises their authority to follow suit.
This represented a tremendous leap forward in Xu Xiao's learning and comprehension.
It's like you were a blind man touching an elephant, learning about the world step by step through trial and error, but suddenly you grew an eye to actually observe the world.
"Next, we will use the power of the Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena and the immense power of the World-Crossing Gate to completely seize control of this world."
Xu Xiao closed his eyes, his consciousness returning to his Sea of Consciousness.
The Heavens World-Crossing Gate are inlaid with numerous white orbs of light, representing the worlds controlled by Xu Xiao.
One of the light clusters was only faintly glowing, clearly indicating that it had not yet been fully mastered.
Xu Xiao looked the World-Crossing Gate up and down, but ultimately shook his head regretfully.
"As expected, even with my Golden Pupil of Myriad Phenomena that allow me to glimpse the laws of the world, I still cannot see through this supreme treasure."
In Xu Xiao's view, the Heavens World-Crossing Gate remained as mysterious as ever.
Besides the rich laws of time, space, and time travel that permeate it, there are also various unknown forces.
Fortunately, it was tightly entangled with Xu Xiao's true spirit, and even the base of the World-Crossing Gate seemed to grow in Xu Xiao's Sea of Consciousness, so Xu Xiao gave up the idea of exploring it.
Many people wonder if the origin of the "golden finger" is a trap, or if there is some conspiracy waiting for them.
Xu Xiao had naturally thought about it as well.
However, looking at his life after activating his cheat ability, the World-Crossing Gate brought only positive benefits, without any side effects.
What reason is there to doubt someone who allows you to traverse countless worlds, transforming you from a struggling scavenger into a powerful being who now rules over numerous worlds?
Some things are good as long as they don't harm you.
Besides, if a treasure capable of such incredible feats were truly a trap, you wouldn't be able to withstand it.
