Chapter 693: Forward

Liu Ping held his breath for a moment. His hands were as fast as lightning as he pieced the cards together in the air.

A total of 19 Cards.

With a wave of his hand, they were all pieced together.

All the cards flipped over to reveal a complete picture.

A handcuffed maid with a graceful bearing, wearing a long dress, stood on top of a mountain made of countless bones. Her hand was caressing the dead tree at the top of the mountain, her dress fluttering in the wind.¹

Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:

[Heavenly Maiden of Innocence]

[Rare prisoner, has the following abilities:]

[Consuming the Fruit of Love: Turn any entity you come into contact with into a fruit, after eating it, you’ll gain the other party’s abilities]

[Direct Questioning: When you look at the other party, you’ll know the other party’s thoughts]

[Ghastly Shadow School: Founder of the school, master of supreme martial arts]

[Other abilities unknown]

[Attention:]

[You’ve pieced it together]

[Trio of the World’s Death has activated the current arrangement of the Laws of the prison, beginning to revive this prisoner]

All the text retracted.

A thought suddenly appeared in Liu Ping’s mind.

"That’s right." the woman looked at him and admitted, "I was just testing the two of you."

Andrea looked at Liu Ping in confusion.

Liu Ping explained: "As long as she’s looking at you, she’ll know what you’re thinking."

Andrea’s expression changed.

If that’s the case, she also saw through my thoughts of bringing her back to the Saint Realm?

"That’s right, I saw it — — how should I put it? Both of you have very strong thoughts, but you don’t have any bad intentions towards me — — – you just want to find a helper, so this deal is done."

The woman said.

Liu Ping and Andrea looked at each other.

So she’s been testing us all this time!

The woman turned around and looked at Liu Ping: "But you seem to be very familiar with me?"

Liu Ping didn’t say anything.

The woman stayed silent for a few moments, then clapped her hands: "I see, so you’ve seen my appearance in my dreams."

The handcuffs on her hands gave off a pleasant chime.

"That’s right." Liu Ping nodded.

He looked at the completed picture screen.

A strange power came from the picture, enveloping the woman.

The woman sensed for a few breaths and smiled, "There is indeed a way to revive me hidden in this cage. However, since you want to revive me, why did you imprison me in the first place?"

She leaped lightly and landed on the screen, looking at Liu Ping and Andrea.

Lines of burning words quickly flashed across his mind.

[According to the Death of the World’s Trio, once you reconstruct a prisoner, you can immediately revive it and obtain its loyalty]

[The resurrection is complete]

[The Trio has been locked onto this revival]

[From now on, Little Fairy will not be able to escape from the Trio of World’s Death. She must be loyal to you]

Liu Ping looked at these notifications and his gaze fell on the screen.

The painted screens turned back into cards, fluttering in the air and dispersing with the wind.

Little Fairy landed on the ground.

She lifted a corner of her long skirt and lowered her head to look at her leg bones.

Flesh and blood began to appear on the pale bones, quickly turning into tender white skin.

"Resurrection ... feels so good."

Little Fairy said softly.

Rumble —

The entire bronze hall began to tremble.

The statue once again floated up from the ground and glanced at the three of them.

"Don’t tell me you still want to kill me? Now that I’ve been resurrected, the result is no longer certain." Little Fairy chuckled.

Killing intent slowly appeared on her face as she slowly approached the statue.

The statue spoke without any emotions: 「The prisoner has left, so there’s no point in keeping watch. I shall return to my master.」

Little Fairy stopped and suddenly chuckled: "I forgot ... go back and tell your master that I’ll get my revenge for imprisoning me sooner or later."

「With just you?」 the statue scoffed.

Little Fairy seemed to have recalled something and couldn’t help but move her slender fingers, muttering: "Damn it, I can’t win against that kind of entity at all."

Her killing intent became even stronger, her gaze became exceptionally gloomy, as if she had fallen into some sort of emotion.

All of a sudden.

A World Thread silently appeared in the void of space.

The World Thread flashed.

Several World-class life forms of various shapes and sizes appeared in the bronze hall.

"Huh? Someone got here first! "one of them said.

"So what? We have more people and are stronger, tell them to hand over their loot." another said.

"Oi, you lot, if you don’t want to die, hand over the treasures here, otherwise, your fate will be dire." a third person said.

Liu Ping glanced at these people, only to see that they were all World-class life forms, there were over a dozen of them.

Over a dozen against three.

No wonder they were so arrogant.

Just as Liu Ping was about to say something, Little Fairy abruptly disappeared.

A series of explosions could be heard from the other side.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the World-class life forms on the other side disappeared without a trace.

Little Fairy carried a basket in her arm, which was filled with brightly colored fruits.

"Do you want to eat?"

She tossed two fruits to Liu Ping and Andrea.

"Are these the same guys from before?" Andrea asked.

"They spoke rudely, so they should be eaten."

Little Fairy picked up one of the fruits and ate it. The fruit let out a series of screams as it gave off a faint glow.

Little Fairy snorted softly and finished the fruit in a few bites.

Liu Ping looked at the fruit in his hand and asked: "Have you always fought like this?"

"That’s right, it’s normal to eat prey, don’t tell me you don’t dare to eat." Little Fairy replied.

"It’s not that we don’t dare, it’s just that we don’t need to." Liu Ping tossed the fruit back.

Little Fairy turned to Andrea.

"I don’t need to either."

Andrea also tossed the fruit back, turned into a Card, and returned to Liu Ping’s Card Tome.

"There’s something wrong with her head, I can’t be bothered to interact with her." Andrea sent her voice.

"Got it." Liu Ping replied.

Little Fairy smiled: "The little girl doesn’t dare to eat the fruit and is hiding?"

"She needs to rest, let’s go." Liu Ping curtly replied.

— — -This woman clearly knew what Andrea was thinking, but she insisted on saying it out loud.

What’s there to provoke?

Liu Ping’s expression didn’t change, but he met Little Fairy’s gaze.

"It’s not a provocation, it’s just that I can’t help myself." Little Fairy winked at him, "There’s a crazy power in you, but you’ve been suppressing it, it suits my taste."

"Suits your taste ... you want to eat me?" Liu Ping asked.

"No, I just feel that — — you’re mine, not now, but you’ll definitely be mine in the future." Little Fairy replied.

"I’m very annoyed by this." Liu Ping directly replied.

"That’s right, you’re afraid of the relationship between men and women, but I’m not talking about the relationship between men and women, I’m talking about how you’re very similar to my own kind." Young Fairy replied.

"I won’t eat those same kind of people just now." Liu Ping replied.

"Don’t lie to me. If necessary, you would be even more vicious than I am when it comes to killing. I can see your heart — — - your mind is filled with countless killing techniques, you’re constantly thinking of ways to eliminate your enemies, you hate the era that you’re living in." Heaven Child replied.

"Then what do you hate?" Liu Ping asked.

"God." Little Fairy replied, "If I can find him, I’ll definitely eat him."

Liu Ping shrugged, casually turned his head away to avoid her gaze and looked at the patterns on the bronze wall: "God is nothing but a vague title — — don’t you have anyone else you want to kill?"

At this point, Little Fairy didn’t think too much about it, after all, God had already disappeared without a trace.

She followed his train of thought and continued: "Of course there’s someone else I want to kill."

Little Fairy turned to the statue.

"That’s right, from now on, I’ll continue to cultivate, hoping that I’ll be able to kill your master one day." she said.

「You’ll never be able to do that, this will only cause you to fall into the torment of despair.」 the statue scoffed.

The statue stood still, its body slowly crumbled together with the entire bronze palace, turning into countless glowing runes that fluttered into the sky before disappearing without a trace.

All the runes had completely disappeared.

Liu Ping and Little Fairy found themselves standing in the middle of a barren land in the middle of Eternal Night, surrounded by an endless wilderness of darkness.

"Let’s go, we’re going to reach the end of Eternal Night, then head towards Purgatory." Liu Ping said.

"Do you know how to get there?" Young Fairy asked.

"I’m not sure, to be honest, I’ve only just arrived here today — — do you know how to get there?" Liu Ping asked.

Little Fairy put up two fingers: "There are two ways, one slow and one fast."

"What’s slow?"

"Just walk on foot, or fly, if you keep walking like this, you’ll reach the end of Eternal Night one day."

"What about fast?"

"Use a world line — — - to travel through Space-Time and arrive at a certain location. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to reach the end of Eternal Night very quickly."

"... Regardless of whether it’s fast or slow, the Inner Plane of Eternal Night is equally dangerous, isn’t it?" Liu Ping asked.

"That’s right." Little Fairy replied.

Liu Ping decided: "Then let’s try the fast one, let’s find a world line first."

"I have one."

Little Fairy smiled and stepped forward, grabbing Liu Ping’s hand.

She pulled at the void of space with her other hand.

A thread of nothingness suddenly appeared, flickering with a flickering light.

"Why do you have — —"

Before Liu Ping could finish his sentence, both he and Little Fairy were pulled by the world line, instantly passing through the void of space and flying towards the depths of Eternal Night.
