Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 682 The Coldness of the Long Night

In any case, Gu Long's projection, being a self-aware entity, is worth befriending.

This can be seen from his answer just now.

Although he only answered one question from Li Miao, the important information he revealed was clearly more than just a few points.

Just like the question Li Miao asked earlier, Gu Long's projection could have given a much simpler and more perfunctory answer.

But he answered in great detail.

Therefore, as one of the key points mentioned in the storyteller's and some of the posts from afar is, "the amount of content in the answer" is very important.

This is naturally due to the other party's attitude towards the player who asked the question.

Therefore, Li Miao naturally agreed to the other party's request very seriously and wrote it down.

"Thank you very much."

Seeing Li Miao's serious expression, the Gu Long projection smiled slightly and thanked him.

“Alright, then here’s the last question.” Li Miao considered for a moment: “Why do you think the Long Night’s Flame created this Long Night Divine Realm?”

Upon hearing Li Miao's words, the Gu Long projection chuckled softly.

"Although I have no way of knowing the true purpose of such a great being as the torch of the long night."

"But since you asked for my thoughts, I have indeed come up with some humble opinions during these lonely days, which may be of some use to you."

As he spoke, the ancient dragon projection gently flapped its wings, and the power of the night flowed within it, condensing into mist that surrounded the three of them.

"Throughout the ages, countless scholars have tried to unravel the mysteries of the world."

"The relationship between the torch and the world is also one of the ultimate questions they relentlessly explore."

Many scholars believe that the Eternal Altar supports the operation of the entire world, and the fire burning within it is more like the source of its power.

"Whenever a new flame enters the eternal altar to burn, its power spreads from the flame to the entire world, affecting all living beings and giving rise to an era completely different from the past."

"The same is true of the torches that were lit in the past, and the same is true of the torches that burn through the long night..."

The ancient dragon projection spoke calmly, glancing at the black mist representing the night around him, and then at the night sky above.

"The flame of the long night is indeed cruel; the darkness and coldness of the night shroud the world, and countless lives perish within it."

"However, the Long Night Era is different from the legendary Dark Ages in that... the night sky that life can see when it looks up."

"Even in the coldness, there is hope and warmth."

"This is especially true in the Long Night Divine Realm."

"The stars are shining, guiding people forward in the cold, long night, and every hard-working person can glean different mysteries from them."

"This...is His wisdom, and the light He will spread to the world."

Therefore…

"Whether powerful or not."

Regardless of bloodline.

"...Using their own light, they walk through the cold night, forging their own path..."

"Perhaps this is the kind of reflection that the long night wants to bring to the world."

After saying that, the Gu Long projection quietly looked at the frozen night sky, seemingly lost in thought.

His voice was deep and magnetic, and combined with the strange surroundings, it gave people an indescribable sense of awe.

Li Miao and Shang An couldn't help but look up at the night sky.

But it's a pity.

The long night is over.

The night sky had long since frozen in time.

Just as the rare and exquisite amber that occasionally appears preserves the splendor and mystery of the past.

The stagnant night sky seemed to be showing those who came after them the guidance left behind by the long night of the past, which made people sigh when they looked closely.

"...Although I don't understand it, it seems to make a lot of sense." He scratched his head, feeling itchy. Li Miao had some superficial feelings, but found it hard to describe.

Gu Long's projection lowered its head and looked at the two of them again: "Alright, I have answered your questions."

"Now, I should give you what you deserve."

"Hopefully this will be helpful for your upcoming exploration."

Upon hearing this, Li Miao was startled: "You mean..."

“A temporary death.” The ancient dragon projection did not hide anything from them, but stated it simply: “The coldness of the long night is not just a figure of speech.”

"The trials of the Long Night Divine Realm have always been trials of life and death; there is no such thing as showing mercy or stopping short of a fight."

"The only reason I stopped halfway was out of curiosity about you."

"But please rest assured, I am protected by the embers of the long night and affected by the broken rules of this world, so I will not die completely."

"I still have to wait for you to bring me news of my original body."

"Otherwise, I would have been getting a good night's sleep long ago."

Gu Long's projection smiled calmly.

The next moment, the power of the long night was stirred, and the large disc-shaped horn on its head began to stir.

But this agitation was clearly not directed at the two people in front of him, but at himself.

The next moment, his massive body began to rapidly disintegrate.

"Wait a minute! Can we do it ourselves?"

Once ashore, they quickly made their requests, afraid of missing out on any of the expected drops.

The ancient dragon projection was slightly taken aback, but did not refuse, and readily said, "Okay, I will suppress my abilities."

Although Li Miao felt that saying "go ashore" was a bit unfair, he didn't say anything. Anyway, the ancient dragon projection wouldn't really die, and they could avoid any problems with the falling objects by doing it themselves.

Before long, the dark spear shadows and torrents of magic swiftly pierced through the body of the ancient dragon projection.

The next moment, his body transformed into specks of black afterglow, flowing into the surrounding darkness.

It was clear that before long, the ancient dragon projection would reassemble its body under the power of the night.

In this situation, death becomes a luxury.

[You have slain the projection of the ancient dragon, Durzakkal.]

Seeing the kill notification, Shang'an was overjoyed. Hehe, I got the kill!

Li Miao, however, did not pay attention to who had been beheaded.

As he watched the dragon corpse gradually disappear, he couldn't help but think about what the ancient dragon projection had said.

The chill of the long night is not just a figure of speech...

Indeed, almost all the boss battles they've encountered so far have been life-or-death struggles.

The bridge guardian Lilmi in front of them was like this, and so was the ancient dragon projection in front of them.

Despite being called a trial, it was unexpectedly cruel.

Of course, under the protection of the long night,

"Wow, a huge explosion!"

"Hehe, I thought I wouldn't get any loot this time either, but this guy is really generous. Let me see what the Ancient Dragon projection dropped!"

Compared to Li Miao, Shang An clearly didn't like to think about these profound questions; he was more concerned about the falling objects in front of him.

Wax oil goes without saying.

Secondly, it's worth mentioning that the loot appears to have been split into two parts.

In addition to the items dropped by the spirit candle itself, other items also appeared.
