Eternal Night

Chapter 631 The Terrifying World of Dream of the Red Chamber

Wu Pifu fell from the time-space corridor into reality, and then, as usual, he vomited profusely.

The time-space penetration of this Chrono Wheel is truly inhuman; it treats him like an object, squeezing him at will. And this is still him; if it were any other human, they would probably have turned into a lump of some unknown mixed-up thing.

So... does each civilization's method of penetrating the dream world, or penetrating time and space, only apply to that civilization?
Wu Pifu had this guess in his mind.

But how could he know that things like the Mainframe or the Wheel of Time are rare, perhaps only one in hundreds of real civilizations? And each one that appears is the very core of that civilization, and its path to transcendence inevitably leads to this thing. Moreover, each similar device is incomplete; it's either simply a matter of penetration or, like the Mainframe, used to collect reality. This is something that makes countless civilizations drool with envy.

After resting for a long time, Wu Pifu looked up and around. To his surprise, he found that he had been disguised by the main brain again. The 3.5-meter-tall blond, blue-eyed giant was gone, and the black-haired, black-eyed, dead-fish-eyed little brat was standing in the same spot again.

"...No, Mastermind, does it have to be this formal?" Wu Pifu muttered.

He now understands that whenever a task or action is of great benefit to the mainframe, the mainframe will generally pay close attention to it, give it a side mission, or, as this time, provide it with a disguise.

This is something Wu Pifu still doesn't know. Apart from him and Chu Minghao, he won't say a word to other night watchmen exploring the dream world. He'll judge if he wants to, penetrate if he wants to, do missions if he wants to, and accumulate points if he wants to. Just like Wu Pifu before, he doesn't care if you live or die. Anyway, there are plenty of sleeping humans to wake you up, right?

At this point, Wu Pifu was too lazy to care what the mastermind was plotting. He had his own way of doing things anyway, so he looked around and thought about the second round of faction missions.

Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu...

Wu Pifu was very familiar with these words. He had actually read the first eighty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber, and more than once. Although there were many omissions due to personality changes, he definitely knew and remembered many of the characters.

But isn't this thing too far removed from him? It's not just a matter of two different worlds, but rather that he's fighting desperately to find a way out of a desperate situation, so how did he end up getting involved with the romance and family wealth of "Dream of the Red Chamber"?

"...A perfect Lin Daiyu?"

Wu Pifu was completely baffled. He could understand the first task of transforming the original Wu Pifu into a perfect human, but the second task of making Lin Daiyu perfect was like talking to a brick wall.

At this point, Wu Pifu couldn't find anyone to consult, and the few external brains he could use were definitely not able to keep up. He thought that there should be a limit to how much he wanted to perfect Lin Daiyu, such as letting her marry, no, marry Jia Baoyu? Would that fulfill his wish?
Or should we keep her father alive so the family can be reunited? That doesn't seem feasible, as her mother died too young.

Or perhaps she should be put in charge of the Jia family and become the mistress of the household?
Surely she wouldn't go so far as to rule as regent and become an empress?

Wu Pifu muttered these perfect possibilities, not considering at all what girls' inner conflicts, love-struck minds, or melancholy might be, or even having any concept of such things. In short, after pondering for a long time with his common-sense thinking, he finally came to a completely unsurprising answer.

"No matter what she does, she definitely needs to be in good health. If she dies young and ages prematurely, is sickly all the time, and dies of vomiting blood from anger upon hearing that Jia Baoyu is getting married, she is definitely not perfect. Okay, first step, let's get her in good health!"

Wu Pifu stared with dead fish eyes, clapped his hands, and made a decision.

At this moment, he stood in the center of an ancient bustling city. While not exactly teeming with people, it was certainly a lively and bustling place. Although the buildings differed, the level of liveliness and prosperity was no less than that of Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty. It was just that the roads seemed to be more spaced out and the pedestrians looked more imposing.

Wu Pifu, a little kid, stood in the middle of the road. Because of the main brain's cover, his clothes looked no different from the people around him. Although he had dead fish eyes, his appearance was ordinary and did not attract attention, so there was no crowd or anything like that. After he figured out where he was, he did not immediately take off into the sky, but instead strolled into the street.

In fact, Wu Pifu had just wanted to take flight, locate the Jia family mansion, and rush there, or give Lin Daiyu a divine touch on the head and infuse her with a century's worth of internal energy. However, he suddenly remembered the reason why the main computer was concealing him.

It was truly a flash of inspiration, and at the same time, a warning from his martial arts intuition, that made him stop all his movements.

Why Dream of the Red Chamber? Why was the perfection of over 800 people reduced to the perfection of one person? Why did the mastermind conceal his image?

It's important to understand that his faction quest wasn't issued by the mainframe, but rather by the Chrono Wheel. The perfection of over eight hundred people was an intervention of the Chrono Wheel. Regardless of its significance, the sheer number of people who achieved perfection at least demonstrates the difficulty of the second stage of the faction quest.

Even if there were external forces interfering, such as some kind of accidental or funny incident, the fact that the Wheel of Time didn't notice at least shows that the perfection of Lin Daiyu and the perfection of more than 800 people are on the same level!
The fact that the mastermind obscured his image was not due to a lapse in judgment, but rather there was a necessary reason for it!
He hadn't noticed any of these clues himself, but when his martial arts intuition alerted him and the superbrain automatically summarized the information, Wu Pifu suddenly understood the reason... This isn't some romance drama or ethical drama, this is a world of cultivation!
That's right! This book may seem like a story about royalty, love-struck fools, feudal corruption, a mentally challenged, lewd teenager, and a bunch of women, but it's actually set in a world of immortals, heaven, and all the gods and Buddhas!

Not to mention the bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist priest who appear vaguely in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber, the entire text begins with the story of Nuwa mending the sky!
This is written in the original text, and the two main characters in the book, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, are originally explicitly described as Shenying Attendant and Jiangzhu Fairy Herb, who descended from the upper realm to undergo tribulations and tribulations!
This world is a vast world that involves the upper and lower realms of gods and immortals!
And who is Nuwa?

The true great god, the true great god who mended the sky and created mankind, in terms of the status in mythology, she is at least at the level of 0.1, far surpassing the 0.2 level of the Unborn Mother. Even though Guanyin Bodhisattva has a revered position in Buddhism and is a Bodhisattva destined to mend the world in one lifetime, she is still far from being comparable to a great god like Nuwa.

The depths of the Dream of the Red Chamber far exceeded his imagination!

This also explains why the mainframe concealed his image. There might be a terrifying being in the upper realm of this world, who could crush him with a single finger once they discovered his abnormality.

"...So, I need to infiltrate the Jia family first, then get close to Lin Daiyu discreetly, and then figure out a way to make her perfect... What a hassle!"

Wu Pifu muttered to himself, but the more he thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed. What should have been a matter of an hour or two would probably take more than ten days or half a month to accomplish, according to this analysis.

Moreover, it's very likely that this involves power struggles within the family, girlish sentiments, and the decadent, feudal lifestyle of the nobility. Just thinking about these things makes Wu Pifu's teeth ache, and she wishes she could bite them all to pieces to feel better.

"No! We must test this to see if it's just an ordinary, mundane ethical drama world, or if there really is a celestial court in the upper realm, a terrifying deep-sea area with ancient gods!"

Having made this decision, Wu Pifu did not hesitate. He found the right direction and headed out of the city. After traveling for a short while, he came out of the city gate. When he was in a deserted place, he took off and flew into the air. He looked around and found a mountain peak and flew over it.

This action did not cause any abnormalities, and his martial arts intuition gave no warning. Wu Pifu felt a little relieved. When he arrived at the mountain, he sensed it and confirmed that the entire mountain was indeed uninhabited. He landed at the foot of the mountain and was about to make his move when he thought about it and retreated a little further away, getting closer to a village outside the foot of the mountain. He was about 10,000 meters away from the mountain.

At this moment, Wu Pifu finally stood still, simultaneously circulating his qi and blood, stimulating his blood and qi, circulating his strength, and raising his internal energy, aiming one hand at the distant hill.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Great Luo Dharma Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita!"

With the title activated, Wu Pifu unleashed the Shocking Hundred Miles move from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms in the next second. A dragon-shaped energy blast, visible to the naked eye, soared out. Because this was not Wu Pifu's full power, and the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon title only increased the power of this move by about four times, the dragon-shaped energy blast was only a few hundred meters long. It flew more than ten thousand meters away and directly slammed into the mountainside.

With a deafening roar, like a bolt from the blue, a mushroom cloud rose halfway up the hillside. The dragon-shaped energy blast slammed into the ridge, cleaving the hill in two. Sand and rocks flew thousands of meters away, and the entire hill began to collapse. Even villages thousands of meters away could hear the loud noise. The villagers were all shocked, their faces pale. Looking at the collapsing hill in the distance, many even knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

After doing all this, Wu Pifu immediately withdrew all his extraordinary power and stared blankly at the distant hill like an ordinary child, showing no sign of anything unusual.

The mainframe's concealment effect is extremely powerful, and Wu Pifu is quite confident about it.

then……

A divine thought, seemingly capable of obscuring the entire universe, descended from the sky. Wu Pifu immediately froze, as if he had been truly terrified by the collapse of the small mountain.

A few seconds later, that divine thought swept back to the heavens, Wu Pifu's last glance.

In the dim light, he saw magnificent palaces and boundless tranquility in the heavens, but hidden within these palaces and tranquility was a terrifying and inexplicable sight that could chill one to the bone with just a glance.

Heaven!

A Dream World at Midnight...

Heavenly Court!
