Chapter 527: The Realm of Eternal Night!

Boom!

White light illuminated the entire world.

Liu Ping heard someone shouting, roaring, roaring in his ears.

He opened his eyes to look.

Below the high platform, he saw an endless crowd of people wearing armor and holding weapons. They were all looking at him with eyes that were determined to die.

What is this place?

Liu Ping blankly thought.

"Time’s up." someone whispered from the side.

Liu Ping looked at the person.

He heard himself say: "Leave"

The person nodded at him, walked to the edge of the tower, raised his weapon and shouted: "Everyone, leave!"

Everyone wielded their weapons with one hand, while the other formed a strange hand seal.

This is a sacrifice.

A sacrificial ritual that I created myself.

Liu Ping silently thought.

Streaks of light shot up into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

Liu Ping realized that he was just watching this scene quietly. He said something in an indiscernible tone, "Everyone, let’s think of a way to survive."

The scene flashed away.

It was yet another moment.

Liu Ping had returned to the tower.

Standing here, he could see the entire world. Normally, he would be in a good mood standing here, but today was completely different.

The entity was wearing a large black scale armor, descending from the sky and looking at him.

It spoke with a resounding voice:

「 Time’s up, why is everyone gone? 」

"Because I let everyone escape."

「 You? 」

「 That’s right, what’s the point of eating these worthless things every day, come and eat me if you dare. 」

The scene went dark.

Liu Ping opened his eyes.

A dream

It’s over.

The room was silent.

As if nothing had happened.

Only a man with a weathered face was sitting in front of the bed.

"You’re awake" he happily said.

"Yes, I’m awake, and you are?" Liu Ping asked as he got off the bed and looked around.

The man passionately spoke: "I’m the captain of the 3rd Field Irrigation and Hunting Squad, Yang Wentian. We found you in the wilderness outside the village, I was afraid that you’d be eaten by monsters, so I brought you back."

"Hello, I’m Liu Ping."

Countless memories appeared, causing Liu Ping to feel dizzy.

He pressed his hand against his head, closed his eyes, and let the chaotic memories slowly return to normal.

Zing!

The two sabers rose from the ground and landed on his waist again.

A Card Tome flew up from the headboard. The thumb-sized book spirit jumped up from the book and landed on his head. Then, she buried herself in his hair and let out a soft moan of pleasure.

Liu Ping opened his eyes again.

"You saved me? Thank you very much. Is there anything I can do to repay you? "he said.

"Ah, how embarrassing. I heard that you are very rich." Yang Wentian said.

"If your financial situation is not very good, I can indeed help you improve it."

As Liu Ping spoke, he walked to the window and opened it to look outside.

Under the dark sky.

The huge city wall was as majestic as a mountain.

People busied themselves nervously as if they were preparing for a big battle.

"You might’ve just arrived on Evernight, so let me explain. The Nightmare Tide is showing signs of eruption, and we’re preparing to face the enemy," Yang Wentian said.

Liu Ping looked further away and saw some mechas guarding the edge of the city wall.

One by one, the combat teams returned from outside the city.

Only after passing the mecha’s scan and verification would they be allowed to enter this majestic city.

Everything seemed to be in order.

"So that’s how it is." Liu Ping nodded.

He looked at the void of space.

A line of burning text appeared in the air:

[The Historian is connected to this Sequence, currently transmitting the last sentence of Chapter 398 to you. Would you like to check it?]

"Check it!" Liu Ping said.

A line of text appeared in front of his eyes:

[Liu Ping wielded his Baina Blade and muttered: ’Some food is not that easy to eat, it might even take your life’]

Liu Ping silently looked at this line of text and asked: "Sequence, this is the last sentence of Chapter 398?"

[Indeed] the Sequence answered.

"Then which Chapter has it recorded so far?" Liu Ping asked.

[Chapter 403] The Sequence answered.

"What’s after that?" he asked.

[The rest is blank. Only when you complete something and the Historian records it will it become a part of history] the Sequence answered.

"In other words, the future is still unpredictable?" Liu Ping asked again.

[There are many possibilities in the future. The path you choose and the actions you take will determine the future] The Sequence answered.

"Very well, I understand."

Liu Ping looked at the text again.

Some food ... is not easy to eat ... it might even take your life.

This is very obvious.

At some point in the past, I seem to have been used as food to deal with an extremely powerful existence from the nightmare.

What happened after that?

Why did so many black skeletons appear?

Why did the giant armor listen to my orders and even help me get rid of the guy from the nightmare?

Liu Ping shook his head.

He suddenly remembered something.

No living being can win against the nightmare monster.

But in the underground cavern that leads to the Eternal Night, I used the fist technique I created before to successfully injure it!

Even if the other party wasn’t at its peak, even if my fist only caused it to bleed a little bit.

But the meaning behind this is definitely not ordinary!

This proves that humans can jump out of the nightmare monster’s settings and create techniques and powers that far exceed their control.

This is the possibility of defeating them!

This is the true meaning of my countless reincarnations!

Following his thought, lines of burning text suddenly appeared in the void of space:

[You’ve successfully found a way]

[With your power of creation, jump out of the settings and create new powers to fight against the nightmare]

[In view of this situation, ’Deception’ that lingered around ’Creation’ has disappeared]

[This Sequence is about to receive an official description of ’Creation’:]

[???? Class Occultism power: Creation]

[Trigger mechanism:]

[When someone pays you and explains the effect of a certain power, your power of creation will begin to activate]

[According to the amount of payment given by the other party, your own experience, skills, and knowledge level, you will create a corresponding level of creation]

[To protect ’Creation’ from being discovered, you once used ’Deception’, but there’s no need for that now]

All the text retracted.

Liu Ping turned around and looked at the squad leader named Yang Wentian again.

"What do you want? Wealth? Or something else? Why don’t I give you some advice? "Liu Ping asked.

"You’re all so strong, if you can give me some advice ... of course, I’ll welcome it," Yang Wentian replied.

Liu Ping crossed his arms and paced back and forth in front of the window, muttering:

"Look, you’ve saved my life, my life’s value isn’t small, this is already more than enough compensation, isn’t it?"

Yang Wentian didn’t understand and replied with a ’yes’.

Liu Ping looked at the void of space.

Lines of burning text appeared and floated in the void of space:

[The other party has paid you, you can now activate ’Creation’ for him once]

[’Creation’ has been activated]

[Its power lingers around you, controlling all Occultism powers for you to use]

[You know all the knowledge and skills of this world]

[Please begin ’Creation’]

[What you create will be of equal value to the reward: ’Liu Ping’s life’]

Liu Ping’s eyes flickered.

"Come, tell me, other than money, do you have any other wishes, such as improving your strength, improving your skills, or learning new skills?" he rubbed his hands and asked.

Yang Wentian hesitated:

"Then money"

"Money is nothing, it’s only the most basic form of currency, you can get more valuable things from me, such as becoming stronger!" Liu Ping replied.

Yang Wentian appeared to be in deep thought and muttered, "But what I’m cultivating is the Martial Scripture, as long as I study it step by step, I’ll be able to grasp new powers."

Liu Ping was surprised.

He’s cultivating a Martial Scripture?

That’s right, since I created a Martial Scripture in the past, these people would naturally be able to cultivate it.

But ...

Something doesn’t feel right.

"I need to think about it." Yang Wentian said.

"Think about it first, think clearly about what you need, only then can I help you." Liu Ping replied.

He felt something and stood up to open the door.

Yana was standing at the door.

"I know you’re awake, but I wanted to give you a bit more time to calm down, so I didn’t disturb you." she smiled.

"It’s fine, where are we?" Liu Ping asked.

"Come with me."

Yana brought him to another large building.

The door to the room opened.

Several people were already sitting here.

Li Zhangxue held a sword in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. She looked at Liu Ping. "Seems like you’ve recovered."

Maria’s gaze moved between Yana and Liu Ping.

A white cat was holding a biscuit on the table, its mouth full of crumbs.

On the other side of the table.

A few old acquaintances sat there and looked at Liu Ping with smiles on their faces.

"Long time no see."

Two men waved at Liu Ping.

Libertas, Norton!

"It’s you! Huh? You didn’t lose your memories? "Liu Ping was surprised.

"After you fixed the history, we remembered that we were originally reincarnated from a nightmare." Libertas said.

"That’s right, we’ve always been by her side and made a lot of preparations in advance" Norton pointed to the other side.

On the other corner of the table, a baby girl floated in the air.

"Shui Shu, Hua Qingkong, and the spirit of the prisoner!" Liu Ping exclaimed.

"Yes, I was entrusted to look after this country for you for hundreds of years." The baby girl glanced at him, holding a cup of tea and slowly drinking it.

"Country? What does country mean? "Liu Ping couldn’t help but ask.

"Have you forgotten?"

The baby girl sighed and whispered: "It’s not your fault, after all, you’ve crossed through the timeline into a mess, I’m afraid that other than time itself, no one knows what you’ve done."

She snapped her fingers.

In the air, a shadow suddenly appeared.

In the shadow, Liu Ping and two other blurry figures stood together.

One of the figures spoke with a male voice:

"We’ve won this round, I only hope that you can survive after absorbing that power."

The other figure spoke with a female voice:

"All living beings in this world will be settled by us in the Eternal Night, until one day"

The man said, "You’ve found a way to defeat that monster."

"Once that time comes ..."

The woman whispered, "The real world will become part of Eternal Night, and the glory of humanity will be reborn."

Liu Ping shuddered.

In the air, two lines of burning words appeared:

[If you don’t remember what happened, please look at Chapter 257 of the history book]

[From now on, there will be a fee to view the past]

"No need to look, I remember." Liu Ping blurted out.

That’s right, one of the two figures was the Master of Time, the other was the Master of Mystery!
