Eternal Night

Chapter 625 Blocking
(PS: I apologize again for keeping you all waiting. This is the third update.)

I've been quite busy lately, and these past couple of days have been filled with personal family matters. Please understand. I'll try my best to maintain my regular three-update-a-day schedule, but the update times might be inconsistent.
Zhi looked at Wu Pifu with disbelief and said, "I am one of the five leaders of the People's Revolutionary Alliance!"

Wu Pifu nodded and said, "Yes, I heard what you said."

Zhi pointed to himself and said, "I almost destroyed human civilization. I am considered the most destructive and terrifying one in the Human Revolutionary Alliance. Even Liang Min is extremely wary of me. I kill without blinking an eye!"

Wu Pifu thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Aren't your eyes dry?"

Zhi brandished his arm, wanting to punch Wu Pifu in the face, and shouted, "I kill without blinking an eye, and you're asking me if my eyes are dry?! What's wrong with you?! Believe me or not, I'll kill your whole family, no, believe me or not, I'll destroy all of humanity for you to see!?"

Wu Pifu said, "You can't do it. You'll die as soon as you leave here."

"Aaaaaah, I'll kill you!!"

Zhi roared loudly, gesturing wildly, completely losing the calm and wise demeanor he had shown at the beginning.

The adjutant said helplessly, "Lord Zhi... is a bit mentally unstable. He was right. He is the most dangerous of the five leaders of the People's Revolutionary Alliance. But this danger is related to his madness. Once he is stimulated by something, he will become a madman... a madman in the literal sense."

Wu Pifu looked helplessly at Liaozhi, then slapped him on the head. The adjutant's expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed, "No, sir! He still has..."

The imagined head shattering didn't happen; Zhi simply fell into a daze. After a few seconds, Zhi calmed down a bit and looked at Wu Pifu, saying, "Put me down!"

Wu Pifu then put Zhi down. Zhi's face occasionally flashed with madness, but it was suppressed by a sense of reason. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I'm not sure what your trump cards are right now. If you're willing, tell me your trump cards. If you're not willing, then there's nothing I can do. To put it bluntly, we are all mortals. Whether it's the absolute spacetime concept or the wheel of time and space, they are 'phenomena' and 'nature' that are far more terrifying to us than gods. Don't tell me that mortals can use their physical bodies to fight against these things. If they could, they wouldn't be mortals, but gods equal to phenomena and nature!"

Wu Pifu naturally understood this principle, so he directly said, "Mainframe, unfold my personal information panel..."

"do not want!"

The adjutant was terrified and said, "My lord, Lord Wu Pifu, please don't do this! You have no idea how terrifying my lord is... your intelligence..."

Wu Pifu shook his head and said, "It's alright. I'm not from this timeline, so it won't affect me even if he finds out."

The adjutant felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but he could no longer offer any further advice.

Even if Wu Pifu leaves this timeline, as long as Zhi obtains more information about the dream world, who knows what he might do...

At this moment, Wu Pifu's personal information panel was displayed in front of Zhi, so he sat down and waited patiently, while Zhi looked at it with great interest.

While looking at it, Zhiye kept asking Wu Pifu about the information on the panel. He asked very carefully, including repeatedly asking about the series of "physical body alienation, no main brain judgment provided". Then, when he asked about the title "Fraud Orb (Comedy Special Edition)", a bizarre and strange smile appeared on his face, along with a crazy smile.

"...God's dice? Limiting the odds increases the user's probability? And that's how they got that title? Ha, ha, interesting, so interesting!"

Zhi didn't speak, but paced back and forth. Then he chuckled and said to Wu Pifu, "Wu Pifu, if I asked you to kill Liang Min or Chu Minghao, or to destroy human civilization and slaughter a large number of humans, would you do it?"

Wu Pifu didn't say anything, but just looked at Liaozhi with an expression as if he were an idiot.

Zhi continued to laugh, pacing around Wu Pifu for a moment before saying, "Very good, I look forward to your decision then, hahaha, very good... Now, I will tell you how to break the deadlock, but I also have conditions."

Wu Pifu said earnestly, "If I can do it, then I promise you that I will definitely fulfill your conditions."

Zhi then said, "Alright, I only have one condition: when you return to your own absolute spacetime, you must keep an eye on my whereabouts. Once Liang Min catches me, you must take action to capture me and then set me free."

The adjutant was extremely anxious. He shouted, "No, Mr. Wu, Lord Wu, this is unacceptable! He is a million times more dangerous than you think!"

Wu Pifu didn't agree immediately. Instead, he thought about it carefully before saying seriously, "I'll observe you for a while. If you're a person, I promise you freedom. But if you're not a person..."

Seeing Wu Pifu's expression, he didn't ask what would happen if he weren't human. He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, you're very interesting. It won't hurt to stay by your side for a while, but... hahaha..."

For some reason, he laughed for a while before turning serious and saying to Wu Pifu, "There's an interesting game you'd like to play. Listen carefully..."

Even after Zhi Quan finished speaking, Wu Pifu still looked incredulous. He looked closely at the title of the Deceitful Pearl and couldn't believe it for a moment.

Zhi laughed maniacally, saying, "Give it a try, give it a try! Don't you think this will be a lot of fun?"

After a long silence, Wu Pifu finally removed the title of Louis XVI and put on the title of "The Jewel of Deception (Humorous Special Edition)"...

Meanwhile, outside the Land of Redemption, Liang Min and Chu Minghao stood together, gazing at the radiance of the Land of Redemption and the boundless light of the even larger, absolutely real world beyond it. "...Has it reached its limit?" Liang Min asked softly.

Chu Minghao nodded expressionlessly and said, "Yes, it has reached its limit. It will completely erupt within half an hour at most..."

Liang Min took a deep breath for a long time, and said in an incredulous voice, "I still can't believe it. Why? How could this be? When did this happen... This should never have happened!"

Chu Minghao said expressionlessly, "Perhaps it was like this from the very beginning. There's no point in discussing it now. So, are you prepared to kill me?"

Liang Min lowered his head and remained silent. After at least a few minutes, he nodded and said, "I understand. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Chu Minghao remained expressionless for a long time before a hint of emotion appeared on his face. With some struggle, he said, "Humans... are now in your hands."

"it is good."

Just as Liang Min was about to make a move, the two of them suddenly looked up at the Land of Redemption at the same time, and for a moment their faces were filled with inexplicable emotions.

"...Super Brain World?"

The two uttered the same words in unison, and then Chu Minghao's blank and expressionless face softened slightly, and a certain emotion representing intellectual life began to emerge.

“A new superbrain!? No, that’s impossible. The superbrain has been severed, so…” Liang Min murmured, looking at Chu Minghao, who in turn looked at him.

"Wu Pifu!?"

Both were both surprised and delighted. Chu Minghao even said directly, "That's right, it's Brother Wu! But how is that possible? He has already started to fall into the Zero Point Two Dream World layer, so he is no longer a pure-blooded human, and it's impossible for him to use the super brain anymore..."

Liang Min immediately said, "No matter what, we need to check on your condition right now."

Chu Minghao closed his eyes for a moment, then forced a smile: "Not bad, just for this moment, I can hold on for at least two more years..."

The two said nothing more, and simultaneously headed towards the Land of Redemption.

A short while later, the two appeared in the sky above the Land of Redemption. They exchanged a glance and then headed towards a plaza using their super-brain senses.

In just over ten seconds, Chu Minghao and Liang Min arrived at the square. They immediately spotted the 3.5-meter-tall man in the square. Judging from his physical appearance alone, this man had no relation to Wu Pifu. However, through the super brain's perception, the two of them almost instantly confirmed that the person in front of them was Wu Pifu... Wu Pifu before he became the source!
Chu Minghao immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Wu, you've turned back into a human? I knew it! What's so great about the origin? Pure-blooded humans are the way to go!"

Liang Min said incredulously, "No, buddy, what's wrong with you? I've never heard of someone being able to revert to an ordinary life form from the source. He's not the Wu Pi Fu we know. He... comes from another timeline!"

Wu Pifu and Chu Minghao both looked at Liang Min in surprise, and almost simultaneously asked, "How did you know?"

Liang Min covered her face with her hands and said, "...I really don't want to know you!"

Despite the banter, the appearance of Wu Pifu, even if it was from another timeline, still brought the two of them immense joy, as it truly felt like a miraculous escape from a desperate situation.

Chu Minghao's expression gradually became more varied, and he laughed loudly, "In just this short moment, I can live for at least another ten years! Ha..."

Liang Min's surprised expression gradually faded, and he asked Wu Pifu seriously, "Wu Pifu, did you come to our timeline through time travel? Did you obtain any key items? Which timeline are we in?"

Wu Pifu had nothing to hide from the two of them, and immediately showed them the Absolute Spacetime Anchoring Protocol. He also told them that this was the third spacetime node. Liang Min and Chu Minghao both showed expressions of certainty. Liang Min immediately said seriously, "The third spacetime node. You appeared here again, saved Chu Minghao, and changed the course of human civilization... It's a pity that this time spacetime reversal has failed."

Wu Pifu shook his head, as if he sensed something. He looked up into the void and immediately asked, "Why did you start the war? Why did you kill Chu Minghao, Liang Min? Or did Chu Minghao seek death himself? What's the reason?"

Chu Minghao and Liang Min exchanged glances, both giving wry smiles. Chu Minghao said, "The Wheel of Time is probably descending soon. I'm not sure if you can hear the whole reason. The impact on Absolute Time is too great..."

Liang Min said nonchalantly, "Let's give it a try. Anyway, he's about to be dragged into the time-space island. The absolute time-space anchoring protocol will consume its usage count just before he's dragged in, so let's give it a try."

Chu Minghao nodded, and said earnestly to Wu Pifu, "Because I've confirmed it in my memory..."

In the next instant, everything in Wu Pifu's eyes began to stretch, whether it was the surrounding land, buildings, sky, or Chu Minghao and Liang Min who were right next to him, everything stretched into infinite dimensions of space and time.

then……

"Designate Chrono Trigger as my current faction!"
