Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 673 The Long Night...The Queen?
After Lilmi and Cold Night Bat died, their bodies did not disappear. Instead, they were infused with a pure power by the darkness of the surrounding night.

A moment later, Lilmi's crooked neck returned to a normal angle.

The Cold Night Bat next to him flapped its wings and stood up again.

"Holy crap, there's a second phase?"

Upon reaching the shore, he was startled and immediately performed a tactical backflip to shield Li Miao in front of him.

Li Miao was also somewhat surprised, but he also noticed that the other party's information panel had changed.

【The Bridge Keeper - Lilmi】

[Note: The guardians and trial-takers on the Bridge of Long Night dwell in the long night, obeying the commands of the once supreme flame.]

Swish!

The Cold Night Bat flapped its wings and took flight, then hung directly on the archway, ignoring Li Miao and those who had come ashore.

It's just like a worker who's exhausted after a long day of work, lying in bed as soon as they get off work.

"what……"

"You've stabbed me all over; you really went all out..."

After turning her neck back, Lilmi immediately straightened her collar and complained to Li Miao.

"..." Li Miao was speechless.

However, he was very happy that the other party was able to communicate with him; he had finally met an important NPC in this instance.

"There's nothing we can do. You insisted on going all out, so out of respect, we have no choice but to give it our all."

Li Miao tried replying.

He was still unsure of the extent of Lilmi's self-awareness.

"Uh, hahahaha... that's true. With an opponent as strong as me, you definitely won't be able to defeat me without using your full strength."

Lirmi laughed heartily, his words filled with pride and satisfaction, clearly pleased with Li Miao's words.

Then, he imagined he heard what the people on the shore were saying, and suddenly remembered something. He slapped his forehead and then waved his hand casually.

The next moment, Li Miao heard an incredulous voice coming from the shore.

"No, where's my dropped item!"

"You kill such a big boss and it doesn't drop any loot?"

"Is there a bug?"

Once ashore, he lay on the ground, looking left and right, muttering to himself in disbelief.

Lirmi clearly used some means to temporarily exempt the two from the limitations of nighttime visibility.

But seeing the other person's expression, Li Miao's face darkened. This guy is only thinking about those few dropped items, what a loser!
Turning the boss into an NPC is clearly more important!

"What are you doing sticking your butt out so high? Get up right now!"

"Don't say anything, just listen!"

Li Miao couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly pulled him up.

Upon hearing this, although he was still somewhat unwilling to leave, he did not continue searching for the non-existent dropped item.

"Is he lying on the ground looking for loot?"

"...I'm sorry, but I am blessed by the long night and distorted by disaster, so I cannot die."

Lilmi said with a smile.

As part of this long night's story, he also seemed to know something about the changes in the world.

"It's okay, the spoils of war aren't important."

Li Miao wasn't concerned about any of that right now; he was more curious about what kind of state Lirmi was in.

And in response to Li Miao's question.

Lirmi readily agreed.

He was indeed aware of the changes in the world, and he could also feel the changes within himself. But, as the saying goes, everything important about the moment of extinguishing had been erased, and there was almost no need to ask any further questions.

Li Miao was already used to this.

"...I don't care what happens outside the Long Night Divine Realm or what the world has become, as long as I am here and you are still affected by the Long Night Divine Realm, I will not slack off on your trials."

Lilmi said seriously.

"Can I know the reason?" Li Miao couldn't help but feel curious. "Is it because of the requirements of the Long Night's Flame?"

“A request?” Lilmi shook his head. “It’s not a request, it’s my own request, a promise, but He doesn’t care, and I have to do it well.”

Seeing this, Li Miao and Shang An exchanged a glance.

Seemingly noticing the curious looks on their faces, Lilmi couldn't help but smile.

“I certainly wouldn’t have told you these things before the disaster struck.”

"But now that the Queen is gone, let me tell you a story. It's been a long time since I've had a conversation with anyone."

"Queen?" Upon hearing this word, the person who had just come ashore immediately asked, "Is Long Night's Flame a woman?"

Seeing this, Li Miao glanced at him. The question might be a bit offensive, but he didn't refute or stop him, because he was also curious.

Lilmi was taken aback by what he heard, and then frowned.

But instead of feeling dissatisfied or angry, he fell into deep thought.

After he hesitated for a long time, he finally spoke with a furrowed brow under the expectant gazes of the two.

“…Maybe.” Lilmi shook his head. “I only know His name, not His gender.”

"The torch should be genderless; they have no need for it, nor do they care about it."

At this point, he cautiously looked left and right, muttering in a low voice, "Maybe He's a man..."

However, nothing happened after he said those words.

This caused a flicker of disappointment to cross his eyes.

Li Miao keenly noticed this change in his expression and couldn't help but ponder it.

How dare they secretly whisper about the torch...

It seems that Lilmi's relationship with the Long Night's Flame is not as simple as he thought—it's more like a close bond...

Lilmi quickly recovered from his disappointment and then began to tell the two of them his story at length.

In the age of long night.

Although most of the time was long and cold night, people did not suffer from it.

The long night at this time is fundamentally different from the dark night era in ancient times.

Although the long night was cold and merciless, causing many lives and races that were not adapted to the times to perish, His era brought long-awaited stability to the world compared to the past.

Some races that adapted to the times or were even born from this era prospered.

Lirmi and his Blood Night Clan were beneficiaries of this era.

According to their clan's records, they were born in the Dark Ages of ancient times and are the darlings of the night.

The people of Blood Night revere and praise the long night, and often hold grand ceremonies for it.

But Changye Xinhuo's attitude towards this is... read but not replied.

However, the Blood Night Clan was not disappointed.

After all, the long night's fire doesn't just ignore those who have already read his messages; it also ignores the night spirits who serve him.

Therefore, the Blood Night Humans were not disappointed. On the contrary, they paid more attention to the sacrifices and praises of the Long Night Fire, and took pride in being able to join the Eternal Altar.

However, although I grew up in such a community environment...

Lilmi's ideas, however, were quite rebellious.

He dismissed it dismissively.
