God of Tricksters

“Master… Master!” Zhao Jia kept calling her master. She panicked the moment blood flowed out of his eyes. Her master looked like he was possessed by something.

After a while, the Heavenly Sovereign closed his eyes as his mood began to calm down.

“Master?!” Zhao Jia checked his condition. Other than the blood, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his internal condition.

The Heavenly Sovereign smiled and said, “I’m fine.”

“…” Zhao Jia didn’t seem to buy it as she was still worried about him. This was the first time the Heavenly Sovereign behaved this way. “What did you do, Master?”

The Heavenly Sovereign sighed, “It seems you have seen my eyes…”

“Y-yes.” Zhao Jia nodded before taking a step back. “Are you going to silence—Gah!”

Before she finished her words, the Heavenly Sovereign had flicked her head. “That’s not funny even if it’s a joke. I don’t accept any other successor besides you.”

Zhao Jia gently scratched her cheek as she couldn’t say anything back after that. This was the Heavenly Sovereign’s recognition.

“I called these eyes of mine, the Heavenly Eyes. Its ability is simple. I can simply see the Magic Power… No, it’s beyond Magic Power, something smaller than Order and Authority. I don’t know what to call it.”

The Heavenly Sovereign mentioned something Theo had noticed. He used it to trick the world and called it Origin.

“This Origin is everywhere in the world. Just like the atom, it’s inside the Magic Power, Order, and even Authority. Whenever there is a fluctuation, I can see the change of the world since it’ll affect everything around it.”

Zhao Jia came to a realization and gasped. “Don’t tell me, the reason why you could predict all those things…”

“Yeah. There is a change in this thing and with my power, I simply calculate which one is related to it.” The Heavenly Sovereign nodded. “You could say that I picked up this power because of these eyes granted by the Heavenly Sovereign, Fu Xi.”

“This… Are you telling me that I won’t be able to catch up to you no matter what?”

“In terms of calculating the divine way, yes.” The Heavenly Sovereign nodded without hesitation. This wasn’t something a teacher was supposed to say.

Even Zhao Jia looked down as if her pride was crushed.

But the Heavenly Sovereign also added, “Of course, you have your own specialty. Just take a look at my eyes, do you have my eyes?”

“No.” Zhao Jia shook her head.

“That’s right. My eyes are special. I’m afraid Theo has a similar pair of eyes. That’s why he’s strong.”𝑜𝚟𝓁xt.𝓬𝗈𝐌

Zhao Jia bit her lips and asked, “Are you telling me that unless I have a special pair of eyes, I wouldn’t be able to do anything?”

“Nope. The Time God doesn’t have unique eyes like us. I haven’t fought him yet, but it seems he has a unique brain. That’s where his superiority comes from. The Wind Emperor has a unique heart.”

“Huh?” Zhao Jia frowned. “Why are you talking about this? I still don’t understand what you mean by unique.”

The Heavenly Sovereign chuckled. “It seems the clue I’ve dropped isn’t that obvious. I’m talking about the thing I explained earlier.”

“The thing? The one you said was even more ancient than Magic Power, Order, and Authority?” Zhao Jia asked, confirming it.

“Yeah. I’m talking about that. A human has one concentrated spot of this thing. Mine are in the eyes, Theo too.”

“Then, does that mean I also have a unique quality that can allow me to become an Authority?”

“Yes. I don’t know how many people have realized it, but all the creatures who have received an Order and Authority should have awakened this potential. I’m afraid Theo isn’t aware of his unique eyes. After all, only my eyes could see it.

“Well, I also didn’t know in the past because I got it from the Heavenly Sovereign. But after some time, I realized that it was impossible to receive these eyes if I didn’t have this thing concentrated in my eyes. In other words, I needed to have the qualification first.

“And you too have it.” The Heavenly Sovereign smirked. “I’ve been trying to awaken it this whole time since you’ve only opened half of its potential. This time, I’m going to start teaching you how to get Authority.”

“I, too, have it…” Zhao Jia gulped down. This information was heavy, but she was also curious about where she possessed it. “Where does it concentrate?”

The Heavenly Sovereign smiled and extended his hand as his forefinger rested on her chest. “Here. It’s in your heart.”

“My heart?” Zhao Jia looked down as if staring at her heart. But she also noticed her teacher’s finger was bouncing back and forth as if he was playing with her boobs.

She was impressed at first before she got angry. She grasped his wrist and slapped him, subconsciously releasing her power. “You bastard. This is sexual harassment!”

The Heavenly Sovereign would jokingly receive this attack, but this time, he actually grabbed her hand, stopping her attack.

He smiled, looking at her. “There you go.”

“Huh?” Zhao Jia shuddered. Her body understood her teacher’s words, but her brain still tried to find the explanation.

“The trigger to awaken your true potential is anger. Every time you’re angry, you’ll exert more power. It’s just your anger can only give an explosive boost for a short period, not the stability I’m looking for to get an Authority. In other words, you have to be angry all the time if you want to fully utilize your potential… Of course, you can do that when you’re in battle… Unfortunately, you have been suppressing your potential this whole time by being a cold beauty like this. Your teacher is disappointed.”

“What? My anger?” Zhao Jia’s body shook. Her body confirmed her thought. She indeed felt something change whenever she was angry.

At the same time, she remembered that her teacher always made her angry. “Wait a minute. Don’t tell me you…”

The Heavenly Sovereign’s smile confirmed everything. “Why do you think I have been teasing you this whole time, Jia Jia?”

Zhao Jia was completely speechless, never expecting that her teacher had been communicating with her as a teacher this whole time. She just never understood his tease. If she was aware of this potential, she might be immune to her master’s teasing. That was why he never told her about it.

And this time, the Heavenly Sovereign looked at her with a genuine expression like the first time they met. It was a gaze filled with expectation.

He said, “Zhao Jia, my disciple. It’s time for your last lesson.”
