Eternal Night

Chapter 615 Hope
Wu Pifu stood with his knife in hand, sensing all the beings that were spying on this world.

He is not an ascended being now, nor does he possess any existential characteristics, so he cannot perceive any of the original sources in his self-enclosed state. This is a difference in dimensions, and he cannot do it. However, when these sources arrive at the dream world level where the Land of Redemption is located, they are basically reduced to a tiny projection of power. At this level, he can still perceive these existences.

Whether it was due to some kind of cycle mentioned by these origins, or because they saw that there was no advantage to be gained in this world, the power projections of these origins began to disperse one after another. Only after all these beings disappeared did Wu Pifu stop his attack and then focus his attention on the monsters that filled the city.

After Xu Ruonan's death, countless monsters were almost completely wiped out, with less than one percent remaining. Moreover, the strength of these monsters was greatly reduced. Something that sustained their existence and the source of their strength disappeared, and they became monsters that conformed to the current Dream World level of the Land of Redemption, but were even weaker.

Therefore, Wu Pifu did not massacre the entire city. He needed to be wary of the things from outside the realm. The superhumans in the Land of Redemption were enough to completely crush the remaining monsters. Moreover, there were some strong individuals among these superhumans. His old acquaintances were much stronger than Wu Pifu had been in the timeline. The strongest of them were close to the level of Martial Saints in the Lost Lands.

but……

This development was far, far slower than Wu Pifu had anticipated; hundreds of years was an incredibly slow pace of growth for them.

After Chu Minghao and Liang Min were gone, no new superbrain was born in the entire human civilization. That was one reason. The other reason was that in the past few hundred years, none of the Night Watchers, who had the main brain as their backing, had become ascended beings. In terms of strength, in the previous timeline, Wang Yihui alone could have easily defeated all the superhumans here.

How did that happen?

Wu Pifu pondered silently, his heart heavy.

From his disappearance on this timeline to now, what exactly happened in the hundreds of years between?
Chu Minghao is invincible right now, so how did he die?

Liang Min has remained unchanged, so why is he gone too?

Also, who is Mi? Why did Xu Ruonan become inhuman? Why is the development of human civilization so slow? Hundreds of years, and not a single sublimated being has emerged?
Wu Pifu had far too many questions in his mind.

However, he cannot know all the questions. This time point should be no different from the previous one. Once he knows too much information, it will cause him to leave this time point in order to avoid falling into an absolute spacetime island. Therefore, he must select useful information to obtain.

only……

Wu Pifu silently gazed at the city below.

This is a catastrophe, or rather, on this timeline, Chu Minghao's death, Liang Min's life-or-death situation, the truth about the death that he knows of, and then Xu Ruonan's complete madness... This time, the danger has truly been completely ignited. Before this, the people of the Land of Redemption were actually very well protected. Only now has the true cruelty of the Dream World been laid bare before them.

Corpses littered the fields, and every household wailed in grief.

The death toll in the entire Land of Redemption is at least in the millions, and possibly even more...

Seeing this, and listening to the dense wailing and groans, Wu Pifu felt even more pity in his heart.

Humans...they know pain, they feel sadness, they shouldn't be treated like this!
It's unclear how much time has passed, but tens of thousands of extraordinary individuals, public representatives, government officials, military officials, and leaders like Chu Yuyan, Wang Yihui, and Gao Changgong have gathered below Wu Pifu. They all look at Wu Pifu with eager and hopeful eyes.

only……

Wu Pifu remained silent for a few seconds before landing from the sky. He then forced a smile to his stiff and cold face, nodded to the tens of thousands of people's representatives, and then looked at Wang Yihui, Chu Yuyan, and Gao Changgong.

All three of them were covered in injuries, but their spirits were extremely high. However, when they saw Wu Pifu's expression, Wang Yihui and Chu Yuyan's hearts skipped a beat. Only Gao Changgong didn't think too much about it and just said with an excited smile, "Brother Wu, say something. Everyone wants to see you and hear what you have to say to boost morale."

Wu Pifu remained silent, but nodded nonetheless. He looked around at the people, both ordinary and extraordinary, all of whom were staring at him with fervent eyes. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Everyone... eat well, drink well... I want to say that we have survived this disaster!"

Those around were stunned for a moment, then someone laughed, and laughter filled the air. As the laughter continued, someone began to sob quietly...

A moment later, the group found a well-preserved military base. The current human leaders, along with the more powerful superhumans and a few government and military personnel, all silently watched Wu Pifu.

"...I am not the me in this timeline."

Wu Pifu remained direct, stating bluntly, "I established a Level 7 shelter and used its time-space rewind function to arrive here. However, this isn't my confirmed destination for rewinding; it's a location-based time-space node on the way to the Absolute Time-Space View target point. Therefore, I can't stay here for long..."

Everyone present remained silent. They seemed to have forgotten how to speak. Some of them had flushed faces, bitten their teeth, and their eyes were bulging, but they still couldn't utter a single word.

Although a few of them were somewhat prepared, their hearts sank upon hearing this. At this moment, Chu Yuyan was the first to regain his composure. He asked, "Mr. Wu, did you... obtain the key item?"

After Wu Pifu explained, Chu Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "President Chu Minghao once conducted a time reversal test, and the result was..."

Wu Pifu immediately said, "I know all of that. Apart from the fact that I am not me in this timeline, I also have some important information to tell you."

After speaking, Wu Pifu recounted in detail the events of the first point in time he experienced. Although he did not know all the information on that timeline, his observations and experiences contained a great deal of useful information.

Now that things have come to this, everyone present is a person of strong will. At this moment, they have begun to think about what will happen after Wu Pifu leaves. After hearing Wu Pifu's information, they all start to think about it.

Wang Yihui immediately said, "The collapse and shattering of the Land of Redemption... definitely did not happen in this attack, because we also have some trump cards. Although the mainframe is destined to die, our trump cards are at least enough to protect the Land of Redemption in this attack. That is, other events in the future caused the Land of Redemption to shatter."

Chu Yuyan also said, "Moreover, we do not belong to the absolute spacetime concept here, so the future has already changed. Not to mention anything else, we have already found more than fifty fragments of the main brain, all of which are fragments that have not been contaminated by the Predestined Death. If we put them all together... we may not be able to create the sub-brains and the sub-brains, but creating a temporary brain-like mechanism should not be a problem."

Many people nodded silently, but they were also filled with fear.

Even though the future has changed, the thought of the entire Land of Redemption being shattered and only two fragments of the main brain remaining sends chills down their spines.

At this moment, Gao Changgong asked, "How much longer...can you stay at this point in time?"

Wu Pifu looked at the main brain projection on his retina and said, "It can stay for about fourteen hours."

Everyone looked dejected, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.

One military personnel said, "Currently, the entire army is conducting an intensive, grid-like search of the entire Land of Redemption, and has found a total of fifty-two fragments of the mainframe, but there are definitely more..."

Even if there are still some... there probably aren't many left, as everyone knows. But at this point, every piece counts. The key is that Wu Pifu can stay for fourteen hours, which is more than enough to activate these main brain fragments.

Chu Yuyan was whispering something to Wang Yihui at this moment. After a while, he said to Wu Pifu, "Mr. Wu, since you are not an existence on our timeline, we don't know what will happen on our timeline after you go to the absolute timeline. But it's better to be prepared. We still hope to tell you as much as possible about the important events that happened in the past. This will help you change the future after you return to your absolute timeline... At least, let's not bring back our current future."

Wu Pifu naturally nodded. He thought for a moment and said, "I learned the truth about death and my destined death at the previous point in time, so you don't need to tell me these two pieces of information. What I want to know most is how Chu Minghao and Liang Min failed and why they failed."

Everyone looked distressed. Wang Yihui said, "Brother Wu, we'll let you know after we discuss it. We need to simplify the language to increase the amount of information compressed. But before that, please wait patiently for the main brain fragments to be collected. Also... even if it's only for a dozen hours, we hope you can help us again, even if it's just a show of force. At least give us some safe time after you leave."

Wu Pifu was not actually suited for combat right now, because he did not know what kind of attacks and difficulties he would encounter when he reached the next time node and the target node of the time reversal. However, he still nodded immediately and said, "Okay, just list out who to kill, how many to kill, whether it is to cut off heads or something."

Everyone looked somewhat bewildered, but Wang Yihui immediately waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a deterrent, just a deterrent."

Wu Pifu's face showed a slight disappointment.

Then it wasn't time to talk anymore; these superhumans also had to participate in the search for the mainframe fragments.

Just as they were about to leave, Wu Pifu suddenly remembered the mentally challenged mission system that was bound to him. He stopped Wang Yihui and Chu Yuyan and told them about the system without hiding anything. He also asked them if they could remove it, as the system might be helpful to humanity at this point in time.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Wu Pifu's description of the mission system and the missions it issued, both of them were shocked, surprised, and incredulous.

"Angkor!"

Wang Yihui forcefully suppressed his voice, which was trembling.

"You...no, you in this timeline, might not be dead!"

"This mission system describes you in our timeline!"
