Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Add A Pair of Eyes Within 500 Meters

The vertical pupil looked more like a child’s scribble, a few simple lines standing in the black space, like a picture slapped onto it, devoid of any spirituality.

Yet, in the next second, the vertical pupil disappeared along the established direction, starting with the inner circle and then the arcs on both sides, but as it retracted to the last bit, the lines grew anew. This time they weren’t like strokes made with a white pen, but closer to the texture of an engraving, with the lines first forming two arcs and then closing in from the midpoint towards the center into a circle. However, just before they could complete a perfect circle, the engraving lines halted and began retracting.

When it came back to a point again, this point hovered in place for ten seconds before it started moving.

This time the lines became very thin, neither drawn in one stroke nor as profound as engraved lines. If one must use a precise description, they were more like a thin sheet of metal, emitting a white sheen, with two layers stuck front to back, and drawing the arcs representing the eye socket simultaneously on both sides. However, as they extended from the midpoint of the arc towards the middle, what was originally a flat pupil became three-dimensional, with both sides forming an arch surface.

Still, it was a vertical pupil with simple lines, only now it had a front and a back, more like two eyes placed back to back, sharing a double-sided pupil.

Xu Huo turned around to look at the vertical pupil, his eyes moving left to right, with the pupil sliding in the same direction. Even though it possessed no eyeball, the central arch was dynamic enough to convey the meaning of an eye.

With a light nod, Xu Huo brushed the top corner of the vertical pupil to the right, and the pupil began to form continuously at regular intervals, revolving around the center of the eye and forming the shape of a flower.

This was the eye he could see when he opened the box left by He Pu. Although he wasn’t clear on the special significance of that eye’s pattern, it had given him a great inspiration.

With a light tap of his index finger on the vertical pupil, the overlapping eyes quickly separated, floating at varying distances and sizes like the chains nearby.

Stepping forward, Xu Huo casually opened a door in midair, and a vertical pupil adhered to the door panel. Passing through this door, he felt that his vision in the Spiritual World had expanded.

Within the range of the Spiritual World, "seeing" was closer to "feeling," especially like in the high-level Spiritual World of Bai Kou, where everything could be clearly perceived by the controller as if the space had undergone Super Evolution. Even without sight, one could sense the subtle movements of a person beyond a wall.

But after the appearance of the vertical pupil, a real "field of vision" emerged within the Spiritual World.

Xu Huo opened a staircase, and good, he could now see clearly beyond the stairs.

Of course, this didn’t mean there was something substantial near the stairs, but the previously unclear areas had become clear. It was darkness, not nothingness.

This sensation was like peeling away the veil covering the Spiritual World; the haziness was gone, replaced by greater realism.

There were two effects of this change: one was that the crafted Spiritual World could be more lifelike, and the other was that the Spiritual World seemed thinner—at least that’s how it appeared to Xu Huo. The stairs no longer seemed an endless path with no visible bottom, where one wouldn’t know how long it would take to reach the end. Now, standing at the entrance of the staircase, he knew exactly where the bottom was, and the so-called Hundred-Layer Library was compressed to its utmost.

It was like the original design showing a grand and luxurious palace, but what was built turned out to be a cluster of tile houses encircled by low walls.

Now, even if he could see beyond the tile houses, what use was it? The tile houses couldn’t block the view from outside.

Of course, to Xu Huo’s eyes, what appeared was merely a stretch of tile houses.

But to have an effect on an Advanced Player with strong willpower, one still needs to figure out how to turn it into a real palace.

Expand it, then.

Xu Huo walked into the library, pressing the round table in the middle down to create a flowing black liquid ground which brought up a small model of the library.

The original library had a hundred floors, each floor circular and filled with rooms which, in turn, hid more rooms behind them, resembling large rings nested within smaller ones, with each ring capable of rotating freely. This meant that once someone left a room, they might never be able to return to that room.

This was a method to increase Mental Interference; the more there were, the more chaos ensued, making it harder for people to find an exit or a Materialized Item. However, no matter how many rooms were added, they were all in the same place. The accumulation of quantity did not bring about a qualitative leap. To create a separate space like Bai Kou did...

Xu Huo pondered for a moment, extending a new spiral staircase from the top of the library model. Once the staircase stretched a distance away from the library, another new library was formed above it.

It looked as though two identical libraries were layered over each other in mid-air.

But one certainly wasn’t enough, so he constructed five more identical libraries in front, behind, to the right, to the left, and below, resulting in a total of seven libraries.

However, this only enlarged the range of the Spiritual World, dividing it into seven sections on one plane, nowhere near the level of spatial overlap achieved by Bai Kou.

Certainly, breaking through seven rooms was not as difficult as breaking through a mountain.

Xu Huo stood for a while, then waved his hand to merge the seven libraries together before leaving the library.

Standing outside, he briefly sensed that the range of the Spiritual World had expanded to five hundred meters. This meant he could incorporate a domain stretching five hundred meters in all directions into his own Spiritual World. Thanks to the creation of the Vertical Pupil, he could still perceive and perform Mental Interference beyond five hundred meters, though the effectiveness would weaken with increasing distance.

After Super Evolution of the space, Xu Huo’s sensory range was roughly two hundred meters. Even without using a Prop, he could make relatively clear judgments about objects and people within two hundred meters. Now, with Spirit Evolution, this range had expanded to five hundred meters, and it wasn’t just about being in the "sensory" stage. Inside the Spiritual World, he could actually see everything through the Vertical Pupil. He himself was more like a central surveillance room, enabling him to clearly see everything in this five hundred meters, and even beyond that range.

This included the ten Players hiding three hundred meters away.

These ten Players, positioned in different directions and locations, had entered his Spiritual World as he evolved, but without performing Mental Interference, they were unaware that they were within someone else’s Spiritual World.

Xu Huo tested three of them with his Vertical Pupil and only one sensed something amiss, indicating that this Evolution brought not just an "expansion of space" and the "generation of a field of view," but also a progression in "control precision."

The simpler and rougher the creation of a Spiritual World, the higher the likelihood of others detecting it. If a Player becomes aware right from the start that they’ve stepped into a Spiritual World, their wariness increases, making them less susceptible to interference. Silent and subtle influence is more in line with the characteristics of Mental Interference.

"What are they doing?" A man with a lightning tattoo leaned against a tree and spoke into his Communicator, "Ren Man has been sitting on the ground for almost ten minutes, and that Xu surname guy is just standing there, not doing a thing. Did he succeed or not?"
