Purgatory Artist
Chapter 677: Dream Keeper

Chapter 677: Dream Keeper

So it’s a dream.

There’s no time in a dream, only fragments of things.

No wonder I can travel back and forth between the past and the future as I please.

They’re all just a dream!

Liu Ping was enlightened.

"You don’t want me to save time right now, is it because this is a dream?" he asked.

"Yes, you have something more important to do, it’s related to the Divine Pillar." Lady Mystery answered.

Liu Ping closed his eyes and thought for a few moments before speaking:

"Purgatory and the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night ... are the only real things that exist in a dream?"

"It is the only Divine Pillar that hasn’t been destroyed, other than it, everything else has been destroyed by the evil." Lady Mystery answered.

She waved her hand and grey Cards appeared from the void of space.

Names appeared on the Cards one by one, making corresponding labels in front of Liu Ping’s eyes:

[Law: Birth of Life]

[Law: Causality]

[Law: Space]

[Law: Withering]

[...]

These Cards didn’t give off any power fluctuations at all.

They’ve all been destroyed.

Liu Ping’s mind quickly flashed as he recalled the great entity that manifested from the stars.

At the time, it had said:

「Don’t worry, this place isn’t affected by time or space, even fate and causality can’t reach here ...」

So that’s why!

All the Laws are dead, and this place is a dream.

Wait a minute.

"Then, my future, the scene where I sealed the evil spirit, was it real or fake?" Liu Ping asked.

All the grey Cards silently hovered around Lady Mystery.

She answered: "They were all simulated using my techniques, in the dream, they’re actually fragments of the future, there’s no need to take them seriously."

Liu Ping asked: "What’s your purpose for doing this?"

"To test you, to see if you can perfectly explain everything, you’ve already done very well." Lady Mystery answered.

She took a step forward as an illusory frame appeared around her, slowly turning into a Card that hovered in front of Liu Ping.

Lines of burning text appeared on the Card:

[Mystery]

[One of the Law Cards]

[No need to say anything else, she is the Mother of All Laws, knowing all Mysteries and knowledge, fighting by your side at this moment]

Lilith jumped down from Liu Ping’s head, bowed to the Lady Mystery on the card, and said solemnly, "Incomparably noble lady, to be able to provide you with a place to rest is my life’s honor."

Lady Mystery looked at her and smiled: "I’ll have to trouble you."

Lilith turned around and turned into a card tome, automatically opening it to a blank page in front of Lady Mystery.

Lady Mystery landed on the card book and looked at Liu Ping.

"I am the last [True Card] that you can come into contact with. When you need to perform that brand-new deception, draw power from me. This is the last chance for both of us." the lady told him.

"I still don’t know what opportunity you are talking about." Liu Ping shrugged.

"It’s here." Lady Mystery said.

The card tome closed and flew into Liu Ping’s hands.

In the dark void, a vast and complicated sea of stars gradually appeared.

They all gathered to form the gigantic head.

「Well done. Not only have you managed to control the demonic nature in your body, you’ve also managed to temporarily protect the origin of your soul」

「I acknowledge you, Liu Ping.」

「From now on, you can know my true identity.」

The Star Skull said in a grand tone.

Liu Ping stared at it, only to see a line of burning words appear before his eyes:

[Pay attention]

[You’ve seen the spirit of the Dream created by all dead souls]

[It is the master of the Dream Realm, controlling all the illusory fragments within the Dream Realm]

[You can call it]

[The Guardian of the Dream Realm]

While Liu Ping was reading, the Star Skull opened its mouth and spat out a glittering piece of jade that lightly landed in front of him.

「Take it.」 the Guardian of the Dream Realm said, 「it is the true Moon Soul Secret Jade, the key to the entire Dream Realm, so it has a unique power.」

Liu Ping received the piece of jade.

The Guardian of the Dream Realm continued: 「This jade has a certain power, which is to destroy all replicas and the creation of replicas.」

Liu Ping was a bit surprised, then quickly realized.

Could it be?

He abruptly turned around and released his senses in the direction he came from.

Starlight had already converged to form an image, displaying the scene that was happening far away.

Blood Rain raised the Black Blood Flag, standing in front of the giant armor in the void of space.

She sternly declared:

"I am the flag bearer of the Era Changing, all demonic powers shall obey my command!"

The giant armor gave off strands of light that fell onto Blood Rain’s body.

A few moments later.

The giant armor slowly lowered itself and knelt down on one knee: 「... Respected flag bearer, I shall obey your command to destroy all living beings and all things, to bring all existences to an end.」

Blood Rain nodded in satisfaction, then leapt up and landed on the armor.

Like Liu Ping, she walked into the mask of darkness.

As the mask closed, strands of crimson light appeared in her eyes.

"Ah ... what a long-lost feeling ..."

Blood Rain’s voice came from within the mask, carrying an indescribable killing intent.

The giant black scaled armor began to move its body, as if it was adapting to its own body.

Suddenly.

Blood Rain’s angry roar erupted from within the giant armor.

"LIU PING! I WILL KILL YOU!!! "

The voice turned into an invisible shockwave that spread in all directions.

Liu Ping saw this, then looked at the piece of jade in his hand, then suddenly understood.

Could it be ...

He turned around to look at the Guardian of the Dream Realm.

The tens of thousands of stars on the Guardian of the Dream Realm’s face formed two arcs, showing a hint of a smile:

「If you were controlled by the evil armor, I would use this Moon Soul Secret Jade, but you have successfully passed the test, so now it is your turn to use it.」

Liu Ping looked at the piece of jade in his hand.

Yes.

This was the Dream Realm.

All the laws and powers were not as strong as the power of the Dream Realm.

Maybe the Evil Spirits could resist the power of the Dream Realm ...

However.

The Guardian of the Dream Realm had already made the first move.

All the materials used to forge the armor came from the Dream Realm, and the most important part, the Moon Soul Secret Jade, was an imitation, just so that it could control everything at the last moment.

Liu Ping sighed, held the piece of jade in his hand, and shouted:

"Break!"

In the scene formed by the starlight, the giant armor suddenly shook, and the crimson light on the mask quickly dimmed.

"What happened?" Blood Rain’s voice came from behind the mask.

The entire giant armor kept shaking.

Pieces of black scales peeled off from its body, turning into powder, and then into dust, drifting with the wind and disappearing without a trace.

The armor completely collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only Blood Rain was left standing in mid-air, and his face was still full of disbelief.

Liu Ping suddenly thought of something and asked: "The Six Paths of Reincarnation is an extremely unique world, is it also illusory?"

The Guardian of the Dream Realm said: 「In the dreams of all the dead souls, there are a total of three things that are real.」

"May I know which three?" Liu Ping asked.

The Guardian of the Dream Realm said:

「First, the Divine Pillar of Purgatory and Eternal Night, it is a divine pillar that is suitable to stay in the Dream Realm, it is not illusory.」

「Second, the Lady of Mystery, she came from the real world, and is the last real law.」

「Third, you」

Liu Ping could not help but ask: "What about the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

The Guardian of the Dream Realm seemed a little emotional and said: 「The Six Paths of Reincarnation ... It was originally used to save the world, but it was too late, and did not make it in time, so it has been broken, and only exists in the dreams of all living beings. Its will is scattered in the Dream Realm, staying with the last souls of all living beings, leaving only an illusory dream body.」

Liu Ping said, "What can I do?"

The Guardian of the Dream Realm said: 「The demons have already noticed that there is still a divine pillar in the Dream Realm, so what do you think you can do next to protect the divine pillar from being completely destroyed by them?」

Liu Ping fell silent.

The Guardian of the Dream Realm did not speak anymore, and just looked at him quietly.

Time

Although it did not exist, in such a dream, Liu Ping still felt the continuous extension of his thoughts.

Finally.

He said: "I need to go to the divine pillar."

The Guardian of the Dream Realm said: 「As you wish.」

Light flashed all around.

Liu Ping only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and suddenly came in front of a divine pillar.

The Divine Pillar of Purgatory and Eternal Night!

"This is ..."

Liu Ping looked at the statues on the divine pillar, and his heart trembled slightly.

Yana and Maria were standing together.

Libertas and Norton were talking with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

The Mermaid.

Hua Qingkong.

Even the Saint Spirit.

Andrea.

They had all turned into statues, their eyes closed, and their expressions were calm.

Liu Ping’s gaze swept across everyone, and looked up and down the divine pillar.

Densely packed statues.

Countless heroic spirits.

They gathered on the divine pillar. Even if they were dead, they were still dreaming of fighting.

Everything was a dream.

Only the dream was left.

Liu Ping slowly raised his hand and pressed it on the pillar beside Yana.

The flames of the Purgatory Divine Pillar burned his hand, but there was no expression of pain on his face.

"Yana ..."

"You have all died in battle, why did you come to my side and fight side by side with me?"

He said with emotion.

Yana’s expression was calm, her eyes were closed, and the corners of her mouth curved into a faint smile.

She held Maria’s hand.

The two maintained a posture that was ready to fight at any time, and turned into statues, motionless.

Liu Ping looked at her quietly.

After a long time.

He leaned over and said in her ear: "All living beings are not allowed to fall into an eternal end, and are not allowed to enter an endless sleep."

"There will be a moment when I will let you come back to life and enjoy your original life and happiness."

"This is the oath that I, Liu Ping, make in front of you."

"Yana!"

His voice fell.

Liu Ping exuded an inexplicable aura, and instantly entered the divine pillar through his arm, spreading to the top and bottom of the divine pillar at an unimaginable speed.

Lines of small burning words jumped out crazily:

[Attention!]

[You have drawn the power of the Truth Card: ’Mystery’]

[You have activated ’Dramatist’]

[Activating this ability can turn all real things into illusion, and can also cancel this effect at any time]

[With this power, you can turn the Purgatory and the Eternal Night Divine Pillar into nothingness]

[It does not exist in the dream!]
