Darkness.
A crimson fla shot up to the sky from the darkness, illuminating a throne floating on top of countless bones.
When the fla went away, everything was swallowed by darkness again.
The entire world was silent.
Occasionally, the fire would light up again, emitting a roaring sound, dispersing the darkness and illuminating the entire world made of white bones.
Ti slowly passed.
Not too long after that, another fla shot up to the sky, about to hit sothing, but suddenly stopped.
"Don't attack, it's "
A male voice shouted in a low voice.
He carefully avoided the fla that stopped in mid-air, flew down, and finally arrived in front of the throne.
"Lady Agony, I've co to see you" the man solemnly said.
He was wearing a set of resplendent armor inlaid with gems of various colors, his bright and clear face had a pair of starry eyes, giving off a sense of elegance when he smiled.
A scoff of disdain ca from the throne, followed by a female voice: "You're still not the Lord of Tornt, so how dare you co to my place? Aren't you afraid that I'll turn you into a senseless walking corpse, eternally enduring Agony?"
The man's expression beca even more natural as he slowly spoke: "Although I've yet to ascend to the true Godhood, I'm still quite strong, so I've co to lend you a hand"
"Ah? You're here to help fight? "the female voice asked in surprise.
"That's right, I'll continue to fight for you and help you deal with this war" the man replied.
"Aldrich, you've already obtained enough power from my younger sister, what do you want from now?" the female voice asked.
"Power? No, she's only been brushing off, never sharing her true power with . Everything I have right now was earned through my own efforts "the man replied.
The female voice continued: "Ah, I rember now ... she's already shared all of her wealth, knowledge, and authority with you, but the only thing she hasn't accepted is your proposal ..."
"Lady Agony, you're clearly enemies with her, but even you can see through her hypocrisy." Aldrich said.
"I'll be frank, Aldrich. I know you're Matriarch's subordinate, and I also know that Yana is under Matriarch's Karmic Curse and will belong to you sooner or later, but —"
The female voice said impatiently, "If you are too eager to force her to give you the Divine Power of Tornt ... that is impossible. She is a Deity after all. Now that she has willingly fallen into Evernight, you have lost your last chance to find her."
A tyrannical look gradually appeared on Aldrich's handso face.
Seven or eight ghostly voices rang out from the void, roaring along with him, "This is indeed my fault. When she was determined to fall into Evernight, I didn't dare to die with her. Otherwise, she would've been mine by now. Her divine power and everything else would've been inherited by !"
The female voice chuckled sarcastically and said: "Look around you, the Matriarch has given you everything, but you didn't complete your mission, so your outco will be — —"
"I know! But there is still one last chance! "Aldrich suddenly interrupted her and said loudly.
"Hm?" the female voice was a bit confused.
"All of my abilities are the sa as hers. They all co from her. Even so of my summoning power cos from her contract. That is why I can sense that ... she has fallen into an extre state of exhaustion. The Divine Cloak she used to hide her presence has already left her." Aldrich said.
" 'Offering' again ..." the female voice muttered.
Aldrich's expression beca twisted. Around him, the voices all scread: "That's right, the cloak isn't with her, so you have to find her this ti!"
"What do you want?" the female voice asked.
"Three days! Use your divine power to open a path and let go into Evernight to find her. After three days, I will definitely obtain her and her Divine Seat and return safely from Evernight — — I will do everything in my power to help you in this war." Aldrich promised.
She went silent for a few monts, then suddenly laughed: "Very well, I will give you three days, but we must sign the strictest of contracts. If you break your promise, I will tie your soul to the Divine Fla of Agony and burn it for 10,000 years."
"Deal!" Aldrich spoke with a heavy tone.
...
Liu Ping stared at the card.
The golden glow around Yana's body had dimd, the black snake also looked listless.
"I'm going to sleep for a bit, you have to be extrely careful, otherwise, you might get caught by them and suffer a fate worse than death."
"I can't beat that guy?" Liu Ping asked.
"The other party is a true Star rank Card user, a 2-star rank. In other words, he has at least two Heroic Spirits by his side, don't fight him head-on."
After saying that, Yana closed her eyes and stood still.
Liu Ping suddenly felt sothing and was about to look up, but he stopped himself.
At the sa ti.
A figure appeared in the sky.
It was a man as thin as a stick, his entire body was covered in grey dead skin, looking like a dead person.
He was holding a card, looking down at the small town below.
The small town below was exactly the sa as the one depicted on the card.
"It's here"
"How strange ... Even if I used this Star-level card, I could only trace it to this small town? Can't I directly lock onto soone who knows where that card is? "
"Seems like changing to a Profession from the Age of Nightmares isn't that simple"
He shook his head and landed on the main street of the small town.
When he was in the sky just now, he could clearly see that this was a very normal small town.
There was nothing special about this Cultivation-type civilization at all.
— — -Would there be information about that card here?
The man casually turned around and looked at the smithy on the side of the road.
A blacksmith was skillfully hamring away at the iron.
"Hello, may I ask, who should I ask if you want to ask about sothing here?" the man asked.
The blacksmith wiped his sweat with a towel and replied: "Ask for information? Of course you should go to the inn for that, the waiter there is very clever, he receives people from all over the world every day, so he's the most inford "
The man thought for a bit and nodded: "That's true"
He continued to walk along the road towards the inn.
At the sa ti.
The inn.
"The blacksmith has answered that person's question and told him to co find you for information." the Squad Leader inford Liu Ping.
"Got it." Liu Ping replied.
He took out a Communication Talisman and spoke in a low voice: "Co back here, we need your help here."
Saying so, he let the Communication Talisman go.
"What are you doing?" the white-haired old man asked with interest.
Liu Ping ca in front of the old man again and whispered: "Sir, do you know why you don't do anything but co to the mortal world's inn every day?"
"Why?" the old man asked.
Liu Ping smiled and replied: "I'm only a waiter, how would I know such a thing?"
Saying so, he sent his voice to the other party: "Because you're already dead, your soul is being controlled to act out a dark drama in the world of death, so that the Divinities can choose a suitable slave from among you."
The old man wanted to say sothing, but as soon as he heard his voice, his body trembled and froze.
From the void of space, lines of burning text appeared:
[Due to your revelation, the current cultivator has found out the truth, his storyline has begun to collapse]
[chanism to deal with this incident has been activated]
[Due to the repeated collapses of the storyline in the past, the chanism has been further optimized, and the process will be sped up this ti]
[The pursuer is coming, the Judge is ready]
[I'll repeat it again. The pursuer is coming. The Judge is ready.]
[Ti remaining: 5 minutes]
[Begin countdown]
[04: 59]
[04: 58]
[04: 57]
[...]
These lines of text quickly flashed and ended.
Liu Ping closed his eyes and recalled Wang Cheng's actions back then.
That's right.
The pursuer didn't know how Wang Cheng died at the ti.
In other words — -
It only knew that there was a problem, so it ca to investigate to find out the cause.
That's right.
Liu Ping turned around, silently went downstairs and stood at the entrance of the inn again.
One minute had passed.
Ti continued to pass without a sound.
The card user who looked like a corpse finally ca to the inn.
"Dear custor, please co in" Liu Ping smiled.
He looked at the void of space, only to see a line of burning text hovering there:
[Ti remaining: 03: 37]
