Utilizing the upgraded Divine Eye of Transcendence, Tyler could discern the essential information of this middle-aged woodcutter with merely a glance. Indeed, after successfully employing the ability to "Foresee One\'s Own Death Scene" and consuming an energy point, the Divine Eye of Transcendence gained experience and advanced from Lv1 to Lv2.

After leveling up, the identification ability could obtain more information. However, the most helpful addition was the 7th ability: reading the inner thoughts of objects below a certain level. Through this ability, Tyler could clearly perceive the woodcutter\'s current thoughts:

"Sigh, I\'m exhausted. After working all morning, I have to return home and put up with my wife\'s sour face. Moreover, her cooking gets worse by the day."

"Perhaps... I should simply chop her down like a tree with a swift axe swing? Never mind, if those bigger names found out, I wouldn\'t be able to stay in the village any longer. Worse still, I might be sent to the town to perform forced labor."

"Ah, that\'s right! Tonight is the night Mary\'s husband stays in town! How could I have forgotten? I can sneak over to Mary\'s house later tonight and have a good time~(„ಡωಡ„)"

"Once I get home, I\'ll pick out a clean set of clothes for tonight. Mary enjoys seeing me well-dressed. My current woodcutter\'s attire simply won\'t do..."

The seemingly honest woodcutter had no idea that Tyler could see his innermost thoughts clearly. Through mind reading, Tyler planned to use the woodcutter to avert his impending demise.

Tyler had previously confirmed with Priscilla Nissen that the "Foreseeing Death" ability envisioned a future based on the premise that Tyler would not use the "Foreseeing Death" ability. In other words, in the future where Tyler dies, he can only use his Lv1 Divine Eye of Transcendence. This means that he would not possess mind-reading abilities in that future.

Knowing this was of great help for Tyler\'s next course of action.

Taking advantage of the woodcutter\'s leisurely pace, Tyler hunched over and took a shortcut to the forest exit. Without hesitation, he stripped off his school uniform and left it by the side of the road, then retreated into the forest wearing nothing but his boxer shorts, looking utterly disheveled.

Unaware of this, the woodcutter continued down the main road as usual, heading back to the village. Upon discovering the unusual clothes on the ground, he feigned surprise, exclaiming, "Oh, who dropped these clothes?" and "If nobody claims them, they\'re mine!" He then quickly stuffed the clothes into his bag and hurried back to the village, as if afraid the owner might catch up and demand their return.

(Lady Nissen: Ah... why did you give him your clothes?)

Priscilla Nissen could barely look at Tyler, but he seemed unfazed by his predicament.

(Tyler: You\'ll find out soon enough.)

Tyler opened his palm, mentally commanding "Generate Photograph." Then, after a flash of light, the photo of the "death scene" he had seen earlier appeared in his hand. Comparing the time of death displayed in the corner of the photo with the current time (which Tyler could see in his field of vision), he calculated that he had 300 seconds remaining before his "death."

(Lady Nissen: There\'s no time left-o! What are you waiting for?!)

Tyler ignored Priscilla\'s frantic shouting and silently moved deeper into the forest. Finally, he hid himself in a densely vegetated area, not even flinching as countless mosquito bites swelled on his body.

(Tyler: 200 seconds left.)

(Lady Nissen: What?! You said you had a plan! Is your plan just to strip naked and hide in the forest-o? That\'s so stupid-o!!)

(Tyler: Please be patient, my lady. The result will come soon... In the meantime, I\'d like to ask you more questions. Is this your first time in a parallel world?)

(Lady Nissen: At a time like this, you\'re asking such irrelevant-o questions?!)

Priscilla Nissen\'s sanity was on the brink. Was this boy not tense at all, or was he simply an idiot? Something must have gone wrong during the initial assessment of his abilities!

(Tyler: I\'ve done everything I can. All that\'s left is to wait. If you can\'t accept that, then consider it my dying wish?)

(Lady Nissen: ...Fine, ask your questions.)

With Tyler mentioning his "dying wish," Priscilla Nissen couldn\'t refuse him any longer.

Priscilla Nissen told Tyler that this was not her first time in a parallel world. As a part of a god, she occasionally encountered highly adaptive souls like Tyler, and they would travel together to parallel worlds to complete missions as supporting characters. The most challenging world Priscilla Nissen had visited was the "Nightmare Level." She had not expected to come to an "Impossible Level" world this time.

(Lady Nissen: The difficulty of parallel world-s is proportional to the strength of inherent-o abilities, the strength of curses, and the strength of the traveler. However, your assignment-o to the "Impossible Level" world-o might have been due to a problem during the matching process...)

Priscilla Nissen didn\'t hold back her thoughts. She couldn\'t trust Tyler, who was standing there nearly naked. Could this boy, who had stripped himself down to his underwear upon arriving in the parallel world, really conquer an "Impossible Level" world? It seemed like a pipe dream.

On the other hand, the information Priscilla Nissen provided was all within Tyler\'s speculation. Since each parallel world was different and this was Priscilla Nissen\'s first time in "Prison Star," she couldn\'t offer any information about this world. In essence, her value to Tyler was akin to a user manual for the Divine Eye of Transcendence. Once he understood the Divine Eye, she would become a useless, foolish loli.

(Tyler: So, my curse is also something you\'re unfamiliar with, right?)

(Lady Nissen: What\'s it called-o again?)

(Tyler: Purgatory of the Heartless.)

(Lady Nissen: I haven\'t encountered that-o one before.)

(Tyler: Let\'s leave it at that for now. The final 30-second countdown begins.)

The sudden countdown snapped the relaxed Priscilla Nissen back to reality. Tyler\'s life had only 30 seconds left!

As one of the "Seven," Priscilla Nissen remembered her mission. She immediately blocked her mental connection with Tyler and prepared herself. If she confirmed that Tyler was about to be killed, she would detonate the Divine Eye of Transcendence before the enemy could, killing Tyler in the process. This death would be considered a suicide.

(As long as it\'s a suicide, the "Evil God Faction" won\'t receive any additional rewards, and my mission would be considered complete.)
