Infernal Artist

It turned out to be a dream.

There is no time in dreams, only fragments of things.

No wonder I can travel between the past and the future at will——

They are all just a dream!

Liu Ping suddenly felt enlightened.

"Is it because you don't let me save time right away because this is a dream?" he asked.

"Yes, you have more important things to do - related to the divine pillar." Ms. Mystery said.

Liu Ping closed his eyes and thought for a few breaths, then said:

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

"It is the only sacred pillar that has not been destroyed. Apart from it, everything has been terminated by the evil spirit." Ms. Mystery said.

She waved her hand, and gray cards suddenly appeared in the void.

Names jumped out from the cards one by one, and corresponding signs were made in front of Liu Ping:

"Law: Life Pregnancy."

"The Law: Cause and Effect."

"Law: Space."

"Law: Wither."

"..."

There is no power fluctuation on these cards, it is obvious——

They are all destroyed.

Liu Ping thought about lightning in his mind, and suddenly remembered the great existence that was completely embodied by the stars.

At that time it said -

"Don't worry, this place is not affected by time and space. Even fate and cause and effect cannot reach here..."

I see!

All laws are dead and this is a dream.

etc--

"So, in my future, is the scene where I sealed the demon true or false?" Liu Ping asked.

All gray cards float quietly around Ms. Arcana.

She said: "I used various methods to simulate them all. In dreams, they are actually fragments of the future, so don't take them seriously."

Liu Ping asked: "What is your purpose of doing this-"

"Test you to see if you can explain everything perfectly. You have done a good job." Ms. Mystery said.

She took a step forward, an illusory frame appeared around her, and her whole body gradually turned into a card, landing in front of Liu Ping.

Lines of small burning words appeared on the card:

"Mystery."

"One of the Law decks."

"Needless to say, she is the mother of all laws. She knows all mysteries and knowledge and is fighting alongside you at this moment."

Lilith jumped off Liu Ping's head, saluted the mysterious lady on the card, and said solemnly:

"Incomparably noble lady, it is the honor of my life to provide you with a place to rest."

Ms. Mystery looked at her, smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

Lilith turned around and turned into a card book, which automatically opened to a blank page and appeared in front of the mysterious lady.

The mysterious lady flew down into the card book, looked at Liu Ping and said:

"I am the last real card you have access to. When you need to perform that new trick, draw power from me - this is your last chance and mine," the woman said.

"I still don't know what opportunity you are talking about." Liu Ping spread his hands.

"It's coming," said the mysterious lady.

The card book closed, flew up and landed in Liu Ping's hands.

In the dark void, a complex and grand sea of ​​stars gradually emerged.

They all gathered together and turned into that huge head.

"Well done. Not only did you control your own demonic nature, you also temporarily saved the birthplace of your soul."

"I admit you, Liu Ping."

"From now on, you can learn my true identity."

The Star Giant Skull said in a grand tone.

Liu Ping stared at it and saw a line of small burning characters quietly appearing in front of his eyes:

"Notice."

"You saw the spirit of dreams constructed by all dead souls."

"It is the master of dreams and controls all the illusory fragments in dreams."

"You could call it—"

"Dream Guardian."

Liu Ping was watching when he saw the giant skull of stars opened its mouth and spit out a shining piece of jade, which landed gently in front of him.

"Take it," the dream guardian said, "it is the real Soul Moon Secret Jade and the key to the entire dream, so it has unique power."

Liu Ping caught the piece of jade.

The guardian of the dream said: "This jade has a power, which is to destroy all imitations and creations made of imitations."

Liu Ping was startled and reacted immediately.

Could it be——

He turned around suddenly and sent out a sensor in the direction he came from.

A field of starlight has already converged into a picture, showing what is happening far away.

Xue Yu held high the black blood flag and stood in the void opposite the huge armor.

She said sharply:

"I am the flag bearer of the changing era, and all demonic forces should obey my orders!"

The huge armor emitted wisps of light, falling on Xue Yu.

A moment.

The huge armor slowly leaned over, knelt on one knee and said: "...Dear flag bearer, I must obey your orders, destroy all living beings and all things, and bring all existence to an end."

Xue Yu nodded with satisfaction, and flew up and landed on the armor.

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

The mask closed, and wisps of scarlet light suddenly appeared in his pupils.

"Ah...this feeling I haven't seen for a long time..."

The sound of blood rain rang out from the visor, carrying an indescribable murderous intent.

The huge black scale armor began to move its body, looking like a person adapting to his body.

Sudden.

The roar of blood rain erupted from the huge armor——

"Liu Ping! I must kill you!"

The sound turned into invisible shock waves, spreading in all directions.

Liu Ping looked at this scene, then looked at the jade piece in his hand, and suddenly understood in his heart.

Could it be...

He looked back at the Dream Guardian.

The tens of thousands of stars on the dream guardian's face formed two arcs, showing a slight smile and saying:

"If you were controlled by the Demon Armor, I would use this Soul Moon Secret Jade, but you successfully passed the test, so now it's your turn to use it."

Liu Ping looked at the jade piece in his hand.

Yes.

This is a dream.

All laws and powers are not as powerful as the power of dreams.

Maybe demons can counter the power of dreams...

but.

The guardian of dreams has already taken the lead.

All the materials used to build the armor came from dreams, and the most critical Soul Moon Secret Jade was imitated, just to be able to control everything at the last moment.

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

"broken!"

In the picture composed of stars, the huge armor suddenly shook, and the scarlet light on the faceplate quickly dimmed.

"What happened?" Xueyu's voice sounded from behind the mask.

The entire huge armor was shaking continuously.

Pieces of black scales peeled off from its body, turned into pieces, and then into powder, drifting away in the wind without a trace.

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

Only the bloody rain was left standing in mid-air, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Liu Ping suddenly remembered something and asked: "Six Paths of Reincarnation is an extremely unique world. Is it also illusory?"

The dream guardian said: "In the dreams of all dead souls, there are three things that are true."

"Which three are they?" Liu Ping asked.

The Dream Guardian said:

"One: Purgatory and the Pillar of Eternal Night. It is a divine pillar suitable for staying in dreams, and it is not false;"

"Second: Ms. Mystery, she comes from the real world and is the last real law."

"Third: you."

Liu Ping couldn't help but ask: "What about the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

The guardian of the dream seemed a little emotional and said: "Six Paths of Reincarnation... It was originally intended to save the world, but it was too late and failed to catch up, so it has been broken and only exists in the dreams of all living beings, and its will is scattered. In the dreamland, staying with the last souls of all sentient beings, only the illusory dream body remains."

Liu Ping said: "What can I do?"

The guardian of the dream said: "The evil demon has noticed that there is a divine pillar in the dream, so what do you think you can do next to protect the divine pillar from being completely terminated by them?"

Liu Ping fell into silence.

The guardian of the dream stopped talking and just looked at him quietly.

time--

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

finally.

He said: "I need to go to the Divine Pillar."

The guardian of the dream said: "As you wish."

Light and shadow flashed around.

Liu Ping's eyes only felt blurry, and he suddenly came to a divine pillar that reached into the sky and the earth.

——Purgatory and the Pillar of Eternal Night!

"This is……"

Liu Ping looked at the statues on the sacred pillar, and his mind moved slightly.

Yana and Maria stood together.

Libertas and Norton were talking arm in arm.

water tree.

Flowers clear the sky.

Even the Holy Spirit -

Andrea.

They all turned into statues, with their eyes closed and their expressions quiet.

Liu Ping's eyes swept over everyone one by one, looking up and down along the sacred pillar.

Densely packed statues.

Countless heroic spirits.

They all gathered on the sacred pillar, and even if they died, they were still dreaming of fighting.

Everything is a dream.

Only dreams remain.

Liu Ping slowly raised his hand and pressed it on the pillar wall next to Yana.

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

"Yana..."

"You have obviously died in the battle, why do you still come to my side and fight alongside me?"

He said with emotion.

Yana looked quiet, with her eyes closed and a slight smile on her lips.

She held Maria's hand.

The two of them maintained a posture ready to fight at any time, turned into statues, and remained motionless.

Liu Jing looked at her calmly.

a long time.

He leaned over and said in her ear: "All living beings are not allowed to fall into the eternal end, nor are they allowed to enter endless sleep-"

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

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

"Yana!"

The words fell.

Liu Ping exuded an inexplicable aura, which instantly followed his arms and sank into the divine pillar, spreading towards the upper and lower ends of the divine pillar at an unimaginable speed.

Lines of burning small characters jumped out crazily:

"Notice!"

"You drew the real card: the power of 'Arcana'."

"You activated the Dramatist."

"Activating this ability can turn all real things into falsehood, and this effect can be canceled at any time."

"With this power, Purgatory and the Pillar of Eternal Night will be turned into nothingness."

"It doesn't exist in dreams!"
