GEV 121: Eyes That Can Peer Through the Very Fabric of Reality! Awakening!
🕑 Added 2024-03-08 12:16:54 +0000 UTCWhen thinking about the universe, what exactly comes to mind?
Is it the swirling masses of kaleidoscopic galaxies or maybe nebulas?
Is it the mysterious black hole capable of devouring all states of matter without restraint?
Is it the beautiful glitters of the star constellations in the vast skies? Just not to be mistaken, this isn't all about the Wisdom Path Venerable.
Quasars, entropy, creation and destruction of stars, antimatter, ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒโฆ There are just many things that come to mind when talking about a broad subject like the universe.
All that aside, what is exactly the ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ? What is ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐?
The universe encompassed the whole of existence from the smallest subatomic particles to the cosmic galactic wonders and its uncountable celestial bodies. It was infinite and always in a state of unperceived constant expansion.
Reality was more sophisticated - more complex - as the universe was just its physical manifestation. It encompassed what lay within the universe and beyond; from the emotional spectrum, the intangible space and time, macrocosms, and our own insignificant existences.
Reality and the Universe can practically be referred to as information. They are part of the information that we, humans, can read about and memorize but still can't fully comprehend its entirety due to existing physical and mental limitations.
The very ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ is a piece of information that we can't have access to. How can we understand something beyond the domain of human cognition?
How can we understand the information encoded in reality? There was only one answer - ๐ง๐ต๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ป-๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐, ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐, ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐!
This was simply seizing an infinitesimal part of the ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ผ without even understanding it at the grand level.
And the individual, Zhao Wei, had unintentionally done just that.
Evolution. Zhao Wei's [๐๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐] was going through a cycle of evolution.
Even though his consciousness was being submerged by an ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐, he could still feel the indescribable pain as if his soul and mind were being minced and rewritten into something much more grander and splendorous.
Zhao Wei wasn't growing stronger, he felt like he was being tortured.
Even when he was half-conscious, he instinctively tugged at the hairs on his temple in a hopeless attempt to mitigate the unimaginable pain. His white teeth incessantly cluttered against each other like those of a resident of the mental asylum, his jaws clenching and unclenching in odd fashion.
His actions proved futile and his pain seemed to even increase as if to mock him.
If that wasn't enough, Zhao Wei unconsciously went for his eyes. This pair of eyes was the source of his nightmarish pain.
They were putting him through an infinite cycle of suffering. He thought he understood pain and embraced it but he had solely been mistaken.
He was wrong. His pain resistance was simply laughable and his steely will could also bend!
Zhao Wei decided to do the unthinkable to, at least, alleviate the suffering. He was in his most vulnerable state where all irrationalities would run amok inside his breaking mind.
CHA!
In a fit of desperation and illimitable anguish, Zhao Wei violently tore his two eyeballs from their sockets in one swift movement. Rivulets of blood, brimming with vigor and vitality, silently dripped down his cheeks in irregular streams.
His mouth opened and closed in succession. The mighty scream that was supposed to ensue did not occur. It was soundless. He couldn't scream as if he had already screamed all his life and his voice, forever lost.
He couldn't cry.
He couldn't do anything except experience this hellish abyss of self-torture.
Zhao Wei finally gained consciousness after gorging his eyes out but even that didn't help.
He was previously in a world of ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ but now, he was in a world of radiance.
The situation was ironic, as his eyes were no longer present, leaving only hollowed sockets dripping with red blood and tissues
Zhao Wei could now see everything. Literally everything.
The sudden influx of information nearly made his already breaking soul and mind cross the final hurdle and shatter completely!
As more and more information about his surroundings made its way into his slowly stabilizing mind, the pain also lessened.
Zhao Wei didn't understand what was happening as the strings of information inside his mind were extremely chaotic and jumbled up. It was simply a mess with no order and coherence.
โWhy can I see without my eyes? And why are my initial vision-related abilities more powerful? It's as if these meaty eyeballs have been inconsequential!โ The โeyeless Zhao Weiโ spoke in wonder as he gazed down at the two bloodied eyeballs in both of his hands.
When Zhao Wei tightly clenched his hands around those eyeballs and decisively popped them into a paste, he didn't feel any regrets.
Anyway, It was then that his bodyโs unnatural regenerative power kicked in and his eyes gradually began to regrow.
Zhao Wei furrowed his brows together and the current him looked quite horrifying like a being straight out of a horror film or canonically like Alluka Zoldyck.
โItโs a strange feeling being able to subconsciously feel my tissues regrowing and mending together.โ Zhao Wei mused.
Zhao Wei had been seated in a lotus position throughout the whole process, even now when his eyeballs were about to be completely healed.
Finally, Zhao Wei could be seen with his regenerated eyes currently shut closed.
Zhao Wei tried to open them but they felt surprisingly heavy as if an irresistible force was preventing him from opening something that shouldn't be opened.
It was as if the simple action of him opening his eyes was a taboo; something that went against the interest of the principles of Heaven and reality itself.
Zhao Wei didn't panic, finding the situation interesting. It was a test for him to surmount the insurmountable.
Did he have the guts and will to defy the heavens and reality imposed on him?
Did he have it in him to pry open the eyes that went against the ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐?
If it was a test then Zhao Wei couldn't be more incensed to demolish it.
โWhen have I been afraid of tests? Bring it on!โ He amped his confidence and determination.
His eyes were going to open no matter what.
Zhao Wei struggled and the struggle between him and the eye muscles escalated to a war of attrition that took several hours.
It was a mentally demanding task but he didn't falter.
Eventually, the resistance began to dwindle and Zhao Wei strenuously urged one of his eyelids to open.
โAm I trying to open an eye or Mjรธlnir?โ Zhao Wei wondered incredulously.
And then it happened, Zhao Wei managed to open the stubborn eyelid and what was seen beneath was a deep silver that seemed to encompass all the colors of the universe!
In front of his deep silver eye, all kaleidoscopic colors lost meaning and the very fabric of reality itself became like an open book for him to read, comprehend, and decode into analyzable information.
โNow the finisherโฆโ Zhao Wei pursed his lips, a serious expression settling on his transcendent face.
He forced the other eye to open.
DU DU!
A terrifying pulse reverberated all over the room when both of his eyes were fully opened.
And then, an invisible ripple emanated from them, spreading throughout the whole universe like wildfire in a forest!
For a moment, the temporal forces of the universe stopped!
Space froze!
The symphony of destiny playing in the background paused!
And an unknown message was forcibly sent into the fabric of the universe!
All divine entities from the ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐บ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐, terrifying beasts of chaos and eventually, every living existence in the Fan Universe, understood one thing!
A dreadful, taboo existence had woken up!
And with his awakening, came irrevocable changes that were soon going to capsize the established laws of the world.
A new era was nigh!
Only the truly divine and the truly powerful god kings, gods and ancient possessors of the Eight Great God Eyes understood better than anyone!
