Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 723 A Corner of the Long Night

Their subsequent progress was remarkably easy.

The enemies encountered later were mostly monsters that Pridoddan had encountered during his trials in the long night, and they left a deep impression on him.

This allows those far away to glimpse a corner of the long night era.

The burning earth of the Long Night era must have been incredibly vast, not to mention the boundless, endless sea, containing countless isolated islands and countless lives affected by it.

Don’t say anything else.

Pridoddan has witnessed firsthand how the darkness of the Long Night era caused many lives to lose contact with the outside world and thus distort their power systems.

Aside from the earlier, simple nightmare that was actually derived from the painting.

There are also groups that are obsessed with bloodline purification and relentlessly engage in inbreeding, ultimately ruining everything and turning all their members into monsters.

Or perhaps it was a tale of a clan being destroyed by someone who was obsessed with building bizarre landscapes and imbuing them with the power of faith, only to be enraged by them.

There are also eccentric geniuses who are obsessed with tempering their minds through all sorts of torture, but end up driving themselves insane.

These creatures that left a deep impression on Pridodan were almost all combined with the Nightmare, forming new monsters that blocked their progress and grew increasingly powerful.

However, most of them were dealt with quickly.

After all, compared to the broken bridge ahead and behind, the journey downhill into the distance would also involve encountering enemies along the way.

But at this moment, Pridodan was able to be of great help to him.

The opponent could even be considered to be the main attacker.

Those in the distance are happy to provide assistance.

Moreover, as they continued to advance, Pridoddan's strength continued to grow, just as he remembered.

Each time a battle ends.

Pridoddan's memories of his training at the Temple of the Long Night would resurface, and he shared them with the distant land without reservation.

As a result, Yuanfang gained a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the Long Night era.

The long night was indeed cold.

Under His power, many misguided groups embarked on a path of self-destruction, some even causing significant crises and numerous troubles.
He was quite indifferent to this, or rather, he never even glanced at these things.

However, it would be an inaccurate assessment to say that His long night was a catastrophe for the world.

Not to mention the groups that Pridodan saw living peacefully.

While it was cold, its "wisdom" was also evident.

Some lives have indeed forged their own path in this cruel environment, mastering unprecedented power, even breaking the shackles of bloodlines and bridging the gap between life and death.

On the way forward, Yuanfang silently kept these things in mind.

As Pridoddan grew stronger, some of the Nightmare Monsters became exceptionally powerful, and the Spirit Candle could no longer provide even basic rank information.

Even the Fire Saint in the distance was gradually becoming unable to help.

However, Pridoddan, the giant mage, has become increasingly terrifying. If he weren't occasionally in a daze, he would probably be advancing even faster.

The gray fog on the downhill road gradually dissipated, and the surrounding scenery became clearer.

at last.

After defeating a powerful monster called the Colossus Nightmare, Pridoddan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He stared blankly ahead, seemingly lost in thought, as if recalling something important.

They stood silently to the side, making no sound to interfere.

After a long while, Pridoddan came to his senses and looked into the distance.

“I understand…it’s about ‘commitment’.”

Pridodan spoke to the distance.

……

"Congratulations, Pridodan, for creating an everlasting and powerful flame."

"The flames of the altar are with you."

Pridoddan, upon returning to the Temple of the Long Night, was greeted with congratulations from the priests.

“Thank you.” Pridoddan smiled and nodded. “Go, the Long Night awaits you,” said the Long Night priest.

Pridodan walked alone to the location of the Long Night statue in the temple.

“How long can something last forever?”

"Even a flame is not eternal..."

Seemingly thinking of the congratulations from the Long Night Priest, Pridoddan muttered to himself.

Upon arriving at the statue of the Long Night, Pridodhan bowed slightly and began to pray.

Before long, the dark power of the long night emanated from the statue and surrounded it.

"This is a promise you made."

The calm sound of the long night echoed in Pridodan's mind, stirring ripples in the lake of his memory and bringing forth a scene from the past that did not belong to "Pridodan".

[Thank you for your forgiveness during this long night.]

I owe this world too much, and I owe you and your brother too much.

I will leave behind a drop of blood as an incarnation; it will help you in the future, and you will find it useful...

【…】

This is a promise I'm making to you, whether you accept it or not...

At that moment, having learned everything, Pridoddan bowed deeply to the statue of the Long Night.

……

"I am the drop of blood in the promise."

"This is the reason He gave me my existence. I cannot resist it, I have no right to resist it, and I do not want to resist it."

Pridodan remained calm, showing no anger at the feeling that his life had been orchestrated.

But he couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm sorry, but something important seems to have been affected... it's been obscured."

He was referring to the omitted part of the previous statement.

After listening to Pridodan's words.

Yuanfang did not immediately ask any questions, but instead pondered and continued to digest the information given by Pridodan.

First, before obtaining the specific content of the "promise," he created the so-called "eternal flame."

This seems to be a higher realm after the burning of the spirit.

Secondly, there's the matter of commitments.

Pridoddan was undoubtedly born from a drop of blood from a being on par with the Long Night's Flame.

He is an embodiment; one could say his existence is solely for this promise.

Faced with this promise, Pridodan did not refuse in the slightest; he calmly and without resistance accepted it all.

Another point is... the torch of the long night has an "elder brother".

This being, who is on par with the Flame of the Long Night, seems to have done something to betray the Flame of the Long Night and his brother...

and.

He seemed to have known all along that the Flame of the Long Night would face some trouble in the future...

After quickly sorting through this important information in my mind.

Looking up from afar, they gazed at Pridodan before them.

"After the Spirit Ignition, what is the highest ignition point called?"

After hearing his words.

Pridodan paused for a moment to recall before speaking.

"After the Spirit Ignites... comes the Furnace, where the flames of war will be as scorching as a furnace, yet restrained, which also signifies that the flames within its body are beginning to form their own independent entity..."
