Infernal Artist

In the narrow gap between time and space.

Everything becomes a blur.

Countless laws are whistling like strong winds, forming a fragmented historical picture, constantly flying behind them.

Liu Ping let go of the prison knife and whispered, "Can you go back by yourself?"

"Okay, I'll go back as soon as you let go." The Prison Suppressing Sword responded in a low voice.

Liu Ping looked behind him and saw those nightmare monsters approaching him from an extremely distant timeline in the endless blur of light and shadow.

"Go back." He let go of the long knife.

"Take care. As soon as I go back, you will unlock the 'Void God' in the main world - before that, you have to hold on for a while." Chang Dao said.

After saying that, it disappeared into the void.

Liu Ping suddenly lost the ability to travel through time and space, and fell suddenly downwards.

He landed on solid ground.

At this moment, he didn't know what time it was or where he was.

All I saw was quicksand all around, with no life in sight.

It turned out to be a desolate world.

——Forget it, never mind.

When you in the main world get the Prison Suppressing Knife and disband the "Virtual God", you can go back.

Thinking of this, Liu Ping silently breathed a sigh of relief.

He waited where he was.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Bang——

He turned into a shadow and disappeared from the current timeline.

After a while.

The void opened, and a monster suddenly traveled through time and space and descended into this world.

Other nightmare monsters followed and fell one after another.

"Where is the larvae of the God-Eater?"

"Huh? Gone?"

"It's weird, that guy in the lead, you kept saying you had a way to track it, so I followed you, but why couldn't I find it?"

"Eat it!"

"Yes, eat it!"

"superior!"

…

main world.

Liu Ping suddenly looked back.

I saw a man standing not far behind me, with a slight look and scrutiny in his expression.

Leader of the Martial Alliance, Li Chaoguang!

"Li Chaoguang?"

Liu Ping held the prison knife and said in surprise: "Please forgive me for underestimating you - how did you survive?"

"Who is Li Chaoguang?" the man responded coldly.

Liu Ping was slightly startled and continued to look at the other party.

Yes.

This man looks exactly like Li Chaoguang, but his expression and behavior are completely different.

Li Chaoguang is full of the style of the leader of the Martial Alliance, but this man has no airs.

His expression was calm and his eyes were cold.

——Unlike Li Chaoguang, who is calculating something all the time.

"Aren't you the leader of the Martial Alliance?" Liu Ping asked.

"Ah, so you're talking about that idiot. Is he dead?" the man said.

"died."

"What a fool. It would be best if he died."

Liu Ping cupped his hands and said, "May I ask your Excellency -"

The man said: "You have destroyed this world, so the one standing in front of you is naturally the spirit of this world."

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment, then slowly came back to his senses.

yes!

Every world has its spirit.

As a place that can accommodate the existence of all spirits, the world of all realms naturally also has spirits.

In this way, by destroying the entire world, he also destroyed this spirit's residence and source of power.

Liu Ping quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry. In order to deal with those nightmare monsters just now, I——"

"There's no need to say so much," the spirit from the realm of all realms interrupted him, "this matter was actually planned from the beginning, but in the end it failed due to various selfish desires of human beings."

"What do you mean?" Liu Ping asked confused.

"The World of All Realms... originally sent a message to all the spirits on the Divine Pillar, informing them that the tide of nightmares would be coming, and asking them to gather together in the World of All Realms to gather strength." World Spirit said.

Rabbit lay on Liu Ping's shoulder, snapped his fingers and said: "I told you what happened, even I got the message, anxiously selected a companion, and then ran over in a hurry——"

"It turns out it was your boy who sent us the message."

The world spirit glanced at the rabbit and said, "Yes, I called you to come."

"Is your purpose really to fight against the tide of nightmares?" Liu Ping asked.

World Spirit waved his hand.

I saw heavy lights and shadows emerging behind him.

In that light and shadow, the endless nightmare fog has passed its peak period and is retreating towards the bottom of the Eternal Night Pillar.

"The tide of nightmares has receded?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"This is an abnormal wave of nightmares," World Spirit said seriously, "You should know why nightmares suddenly come."

Liu Ping said: "The Martial Alliance imprisoned all the spirits and used strange power to create cards, which attracted the nightmare monsters."

"The leader of the Martial Alliance you are talking about borrowed my image, stole my power, and then constructed a chaotic primitive sequence in an attempt to forever control the spirits summoned by me. This move caused the original silence The nightmare at the bottom of the eternal night pillar."

"Then everything was over." World Spirit said.

"Sorry, I want to ask, isn't this a real wave of nightmares?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is the destruction caused by your human selfishness and desires, not the real tide of nightmares." World Spirit said.

"Then - what does the real nightmare wave look like?" Rabbit couldn't help but ask.

"I can't say, because it is a real secret. Even if we don't delve into it and just mention a little bit of its content here, it may have been sensed by some kind of existence." World Spirit said.

"What can you say?" asked Rabbit.

“When it really breaks out — we can tell when it’s time because time is on your side.”

World Spirit stared at Liu Ping and continued:

"In Purgatory, when the gods fall, that is when the real wave of nightmares comes - young man, starting from that moment, you have traveled through too many eras."

Liu Ping was shocked.

This world spirit has seen his true nature!

That's right!

He defeated the dark drama of Lady Pain, and then traveled back to five years ago with the help of the woman in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But--

In the year when the dark drama unfolded, Yana fell!

She was the first purgatory god to fall!

Many of the bosses of Purgatory and Eternal Night—the old god who opened the bank, and the Nightmare Stranger—all knew that a storm was coming.

Could it be that the so-called storm is the real nightmare wave?

Liu Ping said solemnly: "If my feelings are correct, this era is very far away from the era I was originally in."

World Spirit said coldly:

"Yes, it is still very far away - so I gave the task to humans, hoping that they can create the strongest world in the long years. In that case, we will have a place where souls originate. The results are now Come, everything is ruined.”

"Yes, in order to rule the world, they imprisoned spirits and used things like 'nightmare ghosts' to eradicate dissidents. Alas, it seems that's what happened." Rabbit sighed dejectedly.

Liu Ping also fell into silence.

Yes.

This spirit from the realm of all realms probably has very great power, so it can make all spirits believe that a wave of nightmares is coming.

such a pity.

With the help of many spirits, this world had the opportunity to become a place of origin for souls to fight against the tide of nightmares in the future.

But everything was destroyed by the rule of Wumeng.

Liu Ping was thinking silently when a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his heart.

etc!

wait! ! !

"Sir, your goal is to make the world a place where souls originate, right?" he asked.

"Yes, but now it seems that I failed." World Spirit said.

"If - I mean if, we really have a place where souls originate, will there be a way to fight against the tide of nightmares?" Liu Ping asked.

"It can only be said that there is a little hope." World Spirit said.

Liu Ping's heart suddenly tightened, and he held his breath and asked, "What hope?"

World Spirit said: "First of all, there must be a place where the soul originates, so that the most basic conditions for launching the ritual can be met. Then... we also need a person who can be truly recognized by thousands of world spirits, as well as some other conditions that I have in hand. "

"The requirements are so high. What kind of ceremony is it?" Rabbit asked with interest.

World Spirit looked at it and said, "It attracts some attention."

"focus on?"

"Yes, but at this point, there is no point in asking these questions, because it is impossible for us to obtain a place where the soul originates. This matter is irreversible."

The world spirit sighed and shook his head.

"No, there is still hope." Liu Ping said suddenly.

Both spirits looked at him.

"I know an era that produced the birthplace of the soul." Liu Ping said.

"But I don't have the ability to travel through time and space." World Spirit said.

"Yeah, neither can I." Rabbit said.

Liu Ping reached out and pressed into the void.

A card book was opened in front of him to a certain page, and the cards on the page automatically flew up and were displayed in front of the two world spirits.

——Day and night cruises.

World Spirit looked at the card and couldn't help but ask: "Is there really such a world?"

"Yes, but it will eventually be destroyed. We must complete the ceremony before it is destroyed." Liu Ping said.

The world spirit hesitated and said: "But this ritual must be approved by all the spirits, otherwise it cannot be started."

The rabbit raised his paws, snapped his fingers, and shouted: "Come all."

The words fell.

The void then opened, and countless world spirits swarmed out.

They all gathered behind Liu Ping.

Rabbit turned around and asked: "I'll just ask you one question - do you recognize Liu Ping?"

"Of course! He saved us!"

A world spirit shaped like a monkey shouted in response.

Many world spirits spoke out:

“Not only do we recognize him, we support him!”

"What is he going to do? Let's help him!"

"Yes, let us also contribute, we will help him achieve his wish!"

The rabbit turned around and looked across with pride.

The spirit of the world looked at the card in Liu Ping's hand, and then looked at the many world spirits behind him.

finally.

It nodded and said: "If there really is a place where souls come from... we can indeed hold a ceremony."

"What kind of ceremony is it?" Rabbit asked curiously.

The world spirit said mysteriously: "Neither living beings nor spirits can defeat the nightmare, so we have to ask for help."
