When the Eye of Insight merged with the Illusory and Real Prism component that Gustavo obtained from the dimensional warehouse, a massive flow of information rushed into Logo's mind, allowing him to learn many secrets hidden beneath the Mist.
If we trace back to the very beginning, we have to go back to the Second Age.
The Astral Realm is indeed vast and boundless, but just as a single universe is but a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Astral Realm, the Astral Realm is similar in meaning compared to the vast void and chaos.
The vast chaotic space is truly boundless, and no one knows how many celestial bodies similar to the Astral Realm exist in that Chaos Sea of disordered rules.
The Truth Wizard Civilization is such a celestial system. Like the Astral Realm, it is also composed of countless cosmic planes. However, it does not have a system like the Dark Void that can contain everything. Instead, it has a similar structure called the Starry Sky Sea.
The first clash between the Astral Realm and the Wizard Civilization occurred during the transition from the early to mid-Second Era. That great war resulted in the deaths of countless powerful beings in the Astral Realm, most of whom were God of Faith. This indirectly led to the later Abyss Catastrophe.
That said, after a fierce battle, the Astral Realm forces, led by the Earth Mother Goddess, successfully defeated the Truth Wizard Civilization and stormed into its core dimensional universe, "Heavenly Azure Continent."
As the edifice crumbled, the Grand Sage of the Truth Wizard Civilization chose to split its supreme treasure, the "Eye of Truth," into the "Eye of Insight," the "Prism of Reality Illusory and Real Prism," and the "Fantasy Origin."
However, before that, the Grand Sage of Wizardry used the power of the Fantasy Origin to ignite the remaining Fortune of Wizard Civilization, forcibly endowing the Eye of Truth with spirituality, and integrating this spirituality into the main control intelligence, thus allowing the Eye of Truth to give birth to its true self and awaken its own wisdom.
The Eye of Truth was later divided into three.
The Fantasy Origin was captured by the Astral Realm Will, and the Wizard Civilization that was devoured by the Astral Realm along with it was transformed into the Fantasy Dimension, one of the three dimensions of the Multi-Cosmic Sea. Together with the Material Dimension and the Energy Dimension, it forms the unique triune cyclical system of the Astral Realm, which has greatly increased the growth rate of the Astral Realm.
The Eye of Insight and the Illusory and Real Prism, which are divided into seven components, are scattered throughout the Astral Realm. Because both of them have inherent Concealment properties, they are more difficult to find than other Miracle Creation.
As for the true self and wisdom awakened by the Eye of Truth, they enter the Samsara of all things in the Astral Realm, obscuring their own will, and through repeated reincarnations, they completely integrate into the system, becoming true native life forms of the Astral Realm.
This approach is essentially the same as the method used by the Goddess of Fate to integrate into the Primordial Heaven; in short, slow and meticulous work yields fine results.
Initial integration is always difficult. It wasn't until the early Third Era that the obscured self-will finally awakened. Through its connection with the Eye of Insight, it regained its rightful place and secretly supported the development and rise of a promising race.
This ethnic group is called "Aslant".
"I never imagined that the Aslant Civilization was actually developed under our guidance." Gustavo blinked, his eyes still showing shock.
Logo, being more resilient, had already regained his composure. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "But the Aslant Civilization was wiped out."
Gustavo nodded in agreement, saying, "Angley, the God of Wisdom, this traitor is truly a persistent ghost."
"Heh, people strive for higher positions, water flows downhill. The defeat of the Wizard Civilization was already inevitable; anyone with a brain could see that, let alone Angley, who was known for his intelligence. Choosing to defect to the enemy is perfectly normal, after all, the Mother of the Stars has always been kind and generous."
"The problem is, this guy was the Grand Sage's most valued disciple, yet he chose to betray him. He knew too much inside information; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to trace his past life," Gustavo sighed.
Logo nodded slightly and pondered, "In my previous life, I didn't know that Angley was secretly watching. I acted rashly and obtained the components of the Illusory and Real Prism and Illusion, but I also fell into a trap and was noticed by Angley."
"This guy actually used the Floating Light Civilization as a cover, trying to hide himself, only revealing his fangs at the last moment. Fortunately, I wasn't completely unprepared in my previous life; I directly self-destructed my Eye of Insight and reincarnated, thus escaping this treacherous villain's scheme," Gustavo said with considerable relief.
But after saying this, Gustavo frowned again and hesitated, saying, "Given Angley's personality, he will never give up searching for the Eye of Insight. It seems that even if we can fight against the Main God or even the Supreme God, we still cannot rashly expose ourselves."
Angley, the God of Wisdom, is one of the Supreme God in the Divine Realm. His strength far surpasses that of ordinary Supreme God, and he is ranked alongside the Goddess of Fate, the God of Death, the God of War, and the Platinum Dragon God as one of the five Supreme God of the Pantheon.
Logo shook his head and said, "There's no way to avoid it. Angley possesses a component of the Illusory and Real Prism of Reality and Illusion. If we want to recreate the Eye of Truth, we can't get around him. Fortunately, in this life we're still in the shadows, giving us more room to maneuver."
"The Eye of Truth, whether it's the Eye of Insight alone or the Illusory and Real Prism, is Miracle Creation. The combination of the two, plus the Fantasy Origin, I wonder how powerful the complete Eye of Truth would be? It might even rival the most supreme Miracle Creation like the Chaos Stele!" Gustavo said with great anticipation.
The Astral Realm standard for evaluating Miracle Creation is that they must reach a level of ten stars, which is equivalent to Main God Artifact, and be of Miracle quality, whether they are innate or acquired creations.
This means that even Miracle Creation can be powerful or weak.
The most powerful Miracle Creation, even surpassing the eleventh-star to advanced level, reach the twelfth-star Eternity level. These kinds of Miracle Creation are considered national treasures even among advanced civilizations, such as the "Chaos Stele" and the "Elemental Crucible".
The former is in the hands of the Mother of the Stars, while the latter is the iconic treasure of the Adrian Federation.
Compared to these top-tier Miracle Creation, neither the Eye of Insight nor the Illusory and Real Prism can compare on their own; only by combining them into the Eye of Truth can they rival them.
"The Eye of Insight and the Illusory and Real Prism are one thing, but the key lies in the Fantasy Origin. After an era of nurturing, its power is probably ten times stronger than it was during the Wizard Civilization era, and that would be an underestimation. Once it is reintegrated into the Eye of Truth, it might help the Eye of Truth become the strongest Miracle Creation in the Astral Realm."
Logo stood with his hands behind his back, tilting his head slightly upwards as he gazed at the dome above. His gaze seemed to penetrate the barrier of the Nirvana Tower, seeing through infinite dimensions and taking in the entire Fantasy Dimension.
"The Astral Realm Will will certainly not allow us to touch the Fantasy Origin." Gustavo shook his head.
Logo lowered his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It's all about human effort. Whether we succeed or not, we'll see after we try."
"Haha, you're right. It's the challenging things that bring a sense of accomplishment when you succeed. However, without the Fantasy Origin as an energy engine, relying solely on the power of the Eye of Insight to activate the Illusory and Real Prism will probably significantly reduce its creative power, right?"
"Indeed, but even so, it's still far better than before. At least with the high-end materials we brought back, it's enough to upgrade the Nirvana Tower, the Scale of Exchange, and the Genesis Ovary to Miracle quality, making them true Miracle Divine Artifact."
