Chapter 1704 Dungeon Rewards (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

1. Eyes of Innocence
Legend has it that deep within the world, there is a spring whose waters can reflect all the madness and depravity in people's hearts.

It can cleanse people of their original sin, purify their anger, and absorb their madness.

It can purify the most wicked hearts in the world and restore reason to the most insane immortals.

Countless beings flock to it; some venture into the starry sky, some fall to the bottom of the world, and some search for it desperately in hell.

For countless long years, no one has ever found a trace of the Fountain of Innocence.

A learned wizard searched for centuries but found nothing, so he turned to the truth.

After receiving the revelation of truth, he never sought the Fountain of Innocence again, until he went completely mad and transformed into a twisted monster.

The hero who defeated the mad wizard obtained the wizard's notes, which he then dedicated to the aging monarch who was on the verge of madness.

The monarch who obtained the notebook glimpsed the secret of the Fountain of Innocence.

He no longer sent people to search the depths of the starry sky, but instead searched for pure maidens among the stars.

In the end, pure blood stained the magnificent palace, and the twisted spirituality condensed into pure pupils before the monarch.

Some claim the monarch found the fountain of innocence, while others claim the monarch ultimately failed.

His tyranny also enraged the entire empire.

When the rebel leader led his army into the ancient palace, all they saw was a twisted monster hovering above a pure crystal eye.

A new monarch ascended the throne. He was holy, pure, and great, propelling the empire to its zenith over the long course of time, and also driving it to wage endless wars in the starry sky.

After war after war, the empire annexed all the lands it could annex and killed all the foreign races it could kill, and thus a silent calamity spread throughout the empire.

Ancient city-states can be completely wiped off the land and from people's consciousness in an instant.

An ancient and glorious empire, yet its population is dwindling.

Until the last city-state of the empire vanished from history, until dust buried the glorious land.

Until the nascent civilization found the ancient palace in the glacier.

The immortal monarch sat on his throne, his spirit and body both decayed.

Only that eye remained, shining brightly, holy, pure, and magnificent.

No one knows where the Eye of Innocence was ultimately lost, nor does anyone know if the Eye of Innocence is the undiscovered Fountain of Innocence.

When you gaze into those innocent eyes, those eyes are also gazing back at you.

It is sacred, pure, and great.

Those who wear the Eyes of Innocence will not be affected by states of madness or cognitive interference.

Those who wear the Eyes of Innocence will be able to modify their perception of others and themselves to a certain extent.

Those who wear the Eyes of Innocence can soothe all emotions in others and restore order to a state of madness.

Please note that all 'innocence' comes at a price, and the burning flame will not cease.

Please note that once the Eye of Innocence is worn, it cannot be removed until death.

Please note that possessing the Eye of Innocence means losing more than just madness.

Please note that the Eye of Innocence will forever carry a certain invisible gaze.

Please note that it is not you who chose holiness, but rather holiness that chose you.

Five things to note: He Ao looked at the text describing this passage, and every sentence seemed to be filled with "pitfalls, pitfalls, pitfalls".

This is just the first reward at the start; are the rewards for legendary ratings really this amazing?

However, judging from the item description of the Eye of Innocence, it is indeed very powerful.

Madness can be ignored.

Madness is the death line for angels, and He Ao doesn't know if the usurper has this tendency toward madness.

To angels, ignoring madness means 'immortality'.

This attraction is fatal to angels, and of course, if tyrants also have a tendency toward madness, then it is likely to have a strong attraction to tyrants as well.

Moreover, this thing can reset the progress of madness, which alone is enough to make angels flock to it.

But at what cost?

He Ao knew very well that the rule of the extraordinary was equivalent exchange.

This thing is so amazing, so what's the price to pay?

The first person to obtain the method for making this thing was that learned wizard.

The system says that a learned wizard is likely to be very learned and have a long lifespan.

But this wizard also obtained the relevant crafting method by asking 'Truth,' which is a good friend.

But he didn't do it. Didn't the learned wizard fear madness and death? It can only mean that the wizard believed the danger of this thing outweighed madness and death.

And what's really amazing is that this wizard went mad later on.

Then they were defeated by heroes.

A hero capable of defeating the mad angel must at least be an angel himself, but this angel, despite obtaining the wizard's notes, did not attempt to do so.

Only the 'Imperial Monarch,' who, according to the description, was only one step away from madness and was already on the verge of insanity, did it.

Moreover, it seems that the items were ultimately created through extremely bloody methods, which even led to the loss of the entire empire.

The most amazing thing is that the monarch who created the Eye of Innocence never used it.

He eventually went insane too.

Finally, his 'successor,' the leader of the resistance, used this thing.

The system has already described the ending.

The entire civilization reached its zenith, and then vanished without a trace.

According to the system's description, the new monarch who used the Eye of Innocence initially relied on external wars to carry out sacrifices.

When there was nothing left to kill, they turned inward, until they had 'devoured' all life in the entire empire and the known world.

Maintaining the power of the Eye of Innocence would likely require an unimaginably large number of living beings.

Judging from the final description, the monarch who possessed the Eye of Innocence also died in the end.

It's unclear whether it was drained by the Eye of Innocence due to a lack of offerings, or whether it 'awakened' and committed suicide.

He was once a rebel leader, but ultimately 'devoured' the entire civilization.

What's the difference between this level of personality change and madness?

The so-called "dealing with madness" in 'Innocent Eyes' may not actually be a case of truly dealing with madness.

However, according to the system's attributes, these reward items should be related to the deity that He Ao came into contact with this time.
However, in the description of the Eye of Innocence, the deity only mentioned 'truth,' which is a good friend.

However, it seems that He Ao didn't directly summon his good friend this time. But considering that his good friend is a classic background figure, and whenever powerful secret knowledge is involved, he has to ask him, so it doesn't seem like there's any problem.

However, it seems that this innocent gaze is related to emotions?

Desire witch?

The older sister's methods are so bizarre?
Well, the older woman seems to be quite unsettling in herself.

He glanced at the description of the Eye of Innocence, temporarily memorized some of its features, and then looked at the next item.

2. Divine Shadow
In ancient legends, the starry sky is the abode of the gods, and the eternal divine realm floats above the stars, forming magnificent divine kingdoms.

The starry sky is a place that cannot be touched or peered into.

The young wizard did not believe the legend. He built a powerful vehicle, entered the starry sky, and saw the magnificent stars.

It turned out that the deep space above was not an eternal divine kingdom, but a dazzling constellation of stars, all of which were whispering to him.

A young wizard founded a new empire, ruled by wizards, an empire forged by mystery and magic.

He firmly believed that there were no true gods in the world, and that all fear of gods was simply a result of mortals' own lack of strength. He believed that there was only one thing in the world worth believing in, and that was mystery itself.

The Magic Empire developed at an extremely rapid pace, quickly spanning the entire galaxy and establishing a magnificent and vast empire.

But when the empire reached its zenith, the emperor discovered that a mystical religion had emerged within the empire.

Religion personifies and glorifies the mysterious, as if a god symbolizing the mysterious truly exists.

The enraged emperor banned the religion and prohibited the worship of mystical gods throughout the empire.

However, this religion that worshipped gods always resurfaced, and the emperor's bans became increasingly severe.

Finally, the brutal suppression led to the most intense unrest, with the holy army of the religion capturing the imperial capital and burning the vast imperial library to the ground.

The Holy Magic Federation abolished the Empire and became the new ruler of this starry sky.

The empire's ruler, the powerful wizard emperor, and his magical guards vanished in the war, and no one knows where they went.

In ancient legends, the defeated wizard emperor will eventually lead his magical guard legion back to the stars and rebuild his empire.

Many ancient people believe that the Holy Army was able to capture the capital because the emperor and his royal guard left before the turmoil, and it was the emperor's departure that gave the Holy Army the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

No one knows whether the legend is true or false, nor does anyone know where the Wizard Emperor of yesteryear went.

Until a young wizard obtained an ancient inheritance, traversed terrifying storms, and ventured deep into unexplored star fields. In the deepest part of the shattered stars, he discovered dilapidated magical armor and magical warships adrift in the universe.

Ancient dust buried the battlefield, and only mutated monsters roared in the starry sky, telling a story of a past unknown to anyone.

A fierce battle once took place here, in which the glorious and powerful magical guard legion was completely annihilated, leaving only the massive, planet-sized remains of the mighty wizard emperor.

But the emperor's opponent was not the powerful Holy Legion, but an entity that could not be seen, understood, or grasped.

The young wizard believed it to be a god.

In those ancient times, the Wizard Emperor finally found the god who ruled over the mysterious, but he did not submit to him. Instead, he challenged the god.

Ultimately, the Royal Guard was defeated, the Magic Empire collapsed, and its history was reduced to ashes in the flames.

But the great wizard emperor was not completely defeated.

The young wizard still managed to find the 'spoils of war' left behind by the wizard emperor deep within the broken remains of the emperor.

It was a sacred shadow, like a fragmented reflection left by a god in the mortal world.

The Divine Shadow can merge into the holder's reflection, and wherever there is a reflection, the Divine Shadow can manifest its power.

The holder of the Divine Shadow will gain authority over mystical influences, and will be able to use all mystical spells without any prerequisites, and will be able to easily understand all mystical knowledge.

The holder of the Divine Shadow possesses the ability to traverse desolate star fields and summon a legion of magical guards from the stars to fight for them.

The holder of the Divine Shadow will have an extremely high rank, allowing them to ignore rank and cause damage to all beings below the level of gods.

Please note that the Magic Guardian Legion has long been destroyed, and they may regard the holder as an enemy god.

Please note that those who overstep the bounds of the gods will also be watched by the gods.

Please note that the omitted cost is not unpaid.

Please note that those who influence mystery will inevitably be influenced by mystery, and those who pursue mystery will inevitably be pursued by mystery.

Please note that the reflection is the reflection of a person, and the person is also the reflection of the reflection.

Five more things to note: Judging from this situation, this item should be related to the Mysterious Shadow, as the name sounds like it.

Based on the description, it should be something like a reflection left by a mysterious shadow.

From the perspective of the story as a whole, the wizard emperor seems to be someone who challenges the gods in order to defend his magical beliefs.

However, looking at it from a different perspective, setting aside the surface of the story, it's clear that the establishment of the empire and the expansion of its territory across star systems couldn't have happened in just one or two hundred years, and this wizard emperor has always existed.

In other words, the Wizard Emperor was, in effect, an immortal being.

If he did not use some kind of drug or twisted method, then his status is most likely that of an angel, or even above an angel.

However, there is a huge difference between angels and gods. According to He Ao's perception, gods do not need to take action themselves; an avatar can instantly kill an angel without even leaving a trace.

Judging from the story's description, the battle between the Wizard Emperor and the Mysterious Shadow left many traces, even shattering the planet.

This suggests that the Wizard Emperor may not be entirely without the ability to resist, or at least he was not instantly and effortlessly defeated.

Judging from the fact that the Wizard Emperor led his legion away from the capital, this battle seems to have been initiated by the Wizard Emperor, rather than by a mysterious shadow suddenly kicking down the door.

This shows that the Wizard Emperor was confident in himself.

The system's 'attention' section also mentions 'usurpation'.

Is that wizard emperor some kind of tyrant, or a usurper with divine abilities?
If we start from this perspective, there are many interesting things to discover.

For example, this sacred shadow was discovered from the remains of the wizard emperor.

It looks like a spoil of war left behind by the Wizard Emperor after his desperate battle, and a very high-ranking one at that.

However, judging from the description, the Wizard Emperor has been dead for many years. In all these years, hasn't the Mysterious Shadow ever thought of returning to reclaim its power? Even if it was injured back then, it can't have been recuperating for so many years, can it?
Judging from his fight with the eldest sister, he didn't seem to have been injured.

Based on his experience of 'interacting' with the mysterious shadow, Heo actually leans more towards another possibility—that this sacred shadow is not the wizard emperor's 'trophy,' but was deliberately left behind by the mysterious shadow.
