Infernal Artist

parallel world.

Noah's Ark, on the deck.

Liu Ping held a handful of cards and looked at the cards lying on the floor and fell into deep thought.

In two directions opposite him, there were two cards floating out of thin air, one belonging to God and one belonging to Mother Earth.

Three people are playing cards.

"So there's no danger here?" Liu Ping played a card.

"Ah, actually there is, but Mother Earth hid Noah's Ark, so danger cannot come to the door." God said. . .

He also played a card.

"What is the danger?" Mother Earth asked.

"Eternal Night is a collection of death worlds. Any dead existence, if it is not taken back by the world it originally belonged to, will sleep here." God said.

Liu Ping looked at the cards in his hand, somewhat hesitant.

"What are you thinking about?" Mother Earth asked.

"Actually, deep under the Eternal Night Pillar, there is a world of nightmares. I once went deep into it to explore the secrets of nightmares - I don't know what is going on there in this parallel world." Liu Ping said.

"That place is occupied by eternal night monsters." God played a card and said.

"Oh, what about purgatory?" Liu Ping asked.

"Purgatory still belongs to the seven gods of purgatory. After all, no major changes have happened in Purgatory and Eternal Night, so there are no races to inherit their divine power and become new gods to replace them." God said.

"...Old man, you even know about the parallel world. In other words, you also know what cards I have in my hand?" Mother Earth asked.

"Of course." God said.

Mother Earth and Liu Ping threw their cards to the floor at the same time.

"No wonder you want to gamble." Liu Ping said.

"Liu Ping, remember, his only weakness is that he can't lie, so I asked him immediately after I reacted." Mother Earth said.

God sighed sadly and put the cards on the floor.

"Wait, Omniscient and Almighty Lord, can you tell me, what is it that you don't know?" Liu Ping asked.

"I know everything, how can there be something I don't know?" God said.

Liu Ping put it another way: "Then do you know what you don't know? If you don't know what you don't know, how can you be called omniscient?"

"I know. I know everything. There is nothing I don't know." God said.

"What is the difference between this Divine Pillar of Purgatory and Eternal Night and other divine pillars?" Liu Ping asked.

"Of course there is a difference, it is - wait, this is an extremely confidential matter, I can't tell it easily, otherwise something will happen." God said vigilantly.

"Can't you tell me?" Liu Ping asked.

"The time has not yet come. If you say it now, the fate of many people will change accordingly. Even I have always been in awe of the law of fate." God said.

When it comes to the laws of destiny, both Liu Ping and Mother Earth remain silent.

In countless worlds, any rational being will maintain basic respect in front of the law of fate.

"Then - is there anything we can say?" Liu Ping asked.

"The Lord of Nightmares, who is best at time and space magic, is not very powerful, so he created many worlds to train his subordinates. One of these worlds is not too far away from the Pillar of Eternal Night." God said.

"Has it discovered the Eternal Night Divine Pillar?" Liu Ping said.

"Not yet, but if this continues, it will find it here sooner or later, and this parallel world will become like other worlds - so we must do something." God said.

"Understood, we have to sneak in and mislead the Lord of Nightmares. It is best to keep his world away from here." Mother Earth said.

"No."

Liu Ping uttered a word, stood up from the deck, and stretched.

"What do you mean? Are you just lucky and think they can't find this place?" Mother Earth asked.

"That's not true. I mean there's no need to mislead them - we have to find ways to get close to the nightmare lord and then kill him." Liu Ping said.

Mother Earth and God fell silent together.

"For an existence like the Lord of Nightmares, if I kill it, I will definitely gain a significant increase in strength. I will sneak into its world, learn everything about it bit by bit, and finally look for opportunities to kill it - It is the first one. Only when I accumulate enough abilities and experience to return to the main timeline of the future will I have the confidence to face the tide of nightmares." Liu Pingdao.

As he spoke, lines of small burning characters appeared:

"The survival mission has ended."

"You successfully survived and gained a brand new role."

"Please continue your journey. If you trigger a new role point and finally get it, then you can continue to accumulate it."

"Ten points of play can allow the 'special effects artist' to upgrade."

Liu Ping raised his eyebrows.

"Special Effects Artist" is so useful. If it can be upgraded to another level, God knows what kind of abilities will be born.

I originally planned to take a walk, but this sequence also reminded me that I needed to trigger a new scene point——

Then there is nothing to hesitate about.

Liu Ping straightened his armor, tied two knives around his waist, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm going to kill it. If you don't want to go, just stay here and wait for me to come back."

"Why not? Everything we have accumulated today will be turned into the power to fight the tide of nightmares in the future main timeline." Gaia, the mother of the earth, said in a deep tone.

"I must go too - with my guidance, it will be very easy for you, a liar, to sneak in." God said.

"Then let's go!" Liu Ping said.

…

after an hour.

Some unknown world.

Snowflakes are floating in the sky and earth.

In a deserted village, a strange guest came.

Liu Ping.

When he arrived, it was already dusk in the world, it was snowing heavily, and no one in the entire village was staying on the road.

Liu Ping searched for a while, and his eyes fell on the largest building in the village.

God’s voice quietly sounded:

"Attention, this is a very high-level nightmare world, somewhat similar to the nightmare underground palace you have seen, except that the rules here are more strict and cruel."

"What are the rules?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is 'secret' level information. Let me tell you, it will definitely alarm the Lord of Nightmares. You have to see it yourself." God said.

"Oh, what's your use? You know everything and can't say anything." Mother Earth complained at the side.

"In the whole world, only this village has life. This is the only thing I can say." God said.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Liu Ping said, taking steps in the snow and slowly walking towards the building.

Soon.

He arrived at the door of the building.

I saw a strange thing carved out of ice and snow in front of the door. It looked like a dog squatting in front of the door, but it was too huge, three meters tall.

When Liu Ping arrived, the monster suddenly came to life.

"A new ascended person - come, tell me, which world are you from?" the monster asked.

Liu Ping smiled and put his hand on the handle of the knife.

"The Dark World, number 0508." God reminded in his ear.

"I come from the world of black magic, number 0508." Liu Ping said.

"Ah...it turns out to be you. There seemed to be some accidents when you ascended. We thought you had been thrown into an unknown space...you are still alive. What a blessing." The monster suddenly said.

It gave way to the side.

The door opens.

"Thank you." Liu Ping walked into the door.

As soon as I entered, I felt that it was warm as spring, surrounded by wooden tables. Two drunken drunkards were lying on the tables, sleeping soundly.

The fire crackled in the fireplace.

Everything is quiet.

"New here?" a voice sounded.

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"Okay, congratulations on your ascension from your own world, but you have to understand that the rules of survival in this world are too cruel, and we don't want a guy who is holding us back." The voice said.

Liu Ping looked around and didn't find the person who spoke.

"So?" he asked.

"If you can find me, I will give you a new number and let you load the sequence of the current world."

"What if I can't find it?"

"Then leave the village and find some way to survive on your own."

"I disagree with this."

As Liu Ping was talking, Mother Earth's telepathy came from the crimson ring:

"That guy is hiding underground - just to the left of the rug in front of the fireplace. As long as it has anything to do with the earth, no one can hide it from me."

"knew."

Liu Ping secretly responded, drew out his long knife and pointed it at the several-meter-long gorgeous carpet in front of the fireplace, and moved slightly to the left.

"You're here," he said.

The voice said in surprise: "Huh? How did you find me?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you casually." Liu Ping said.

"Okay, it seems you are qualified to join. We welcome strong people to join, because it is too difficult to survive."

After the words fell, a long-haired man with a tired look appeared in front of the fireplace.

He threw a card towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping caught the card and looked at it, only to see a line of numbers painted on it: "05."

"Your number is 05, and you are also the fifth person in this world." The long-haired man said.

"The fifth person?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, everyone else is dead." The long-haired man said.

The card in Liu Ping's hand suddenly flashed with light.

In the void, lines of small silver characters suddenly appeared:

"Welcome, ascended ones from all realms. This is the place of ultimate testing. Only those who successfully survive five nights can leave here and serve loyally under the Lord of Nightmares from now on."
