Eternal Night

Chapter 632 Who dares to claim invincibility, who dares to declare themselves undefeated?
Heaven...

Wang Wudi!
Wu Pifu's eyes darkened.

If we're talking about non-human beings he can kill, then the Eternal Mother is one, and Wang Wudi is another!
To hell with the Emperor's Banner!
To put it simply, Wu Pifu is petty but doesn't hold grudges. He settles his scores on the spot, without holding them back overnight, and he's basically done it all. Currently, the only ones who can do anything about him are the Eternal Mother in the Zero Hour Dream World and Wang Wudi.

The hatred from the Land of Redemption still fills Wu Pifu with murderous intent whenever he thinks about it.

Just like the Eternal Mother in the Zero Point Two Dream World, Wang Wudi surrendered to the Heavenly Court, which was the renowned Zero Point One Dream World civilization, making it even more distant.

But now, he has arrived at the Dream of the Red Chamber, which is incredibly close to the Heavenly Court, except that one is the upper realm and the other is the lower realm.

Wu Pifu didn't bother to consider the spatial and temporal structure in between. He only knew that this was the closest place he could get to killing Wang Wudi. Otherwise, he would probably have to wait until some unknown time in the future, when he could delve into the Zero Dream Upper Realm or when some other major event occurred, before he could possibly kill Wang Wudi.

He couldn't rest easy until he killed him, because whenever he thought of the Battle of Redemption, the faces of Zhou Qingqing and those loyal warriors would appear in his mind, as if they were questioning him: "Have you ever thought about avenging us? Let us be free?"

"Yes! I dream about it!"

Wu Pifu roared loudly, but instead of flying, he took a deep look at the collapsed hill and the passage at the top of the sky that had completely disappeared. Then he turned and walked back to the city he had come from.

Wu Pifu dreamed of avenging them and freeing them from their predicament!

He never lied to himself; he was either right or wrong. The battle for redemption was the moment he regretted the most. Zhou Qingqing's death and the many martial artists being imprisoned and tortured by Wang Wudi made him feel ashamed every time he thought about it.
This trip to the world of Dream of the Red Chamber is the perfect opportunity to get close to Wang Wudi, lure him out, and kill him!
However, this requires careful planning.

From Wu Pifu's perception, the Heavenly Court and this world are not simply in a superior-subordinate relationship, nor are they like Gaia and the Land of Redemption. It's more like a remote-controlled erosion, roughly like the Dream World of 0.9 to 0.7 that the Night Watchers are currently conquering, which is actually very far apart from each other.

At the same time, Wu Pifu's senses were extremely sharp, and he roughly realized why the Heavenly Court could start investigating this realm in a short time, but could not find him... Extraordinary power perception, and extraordinary type perception!

In the entire world of Dream of the Red Chamber, apart from the bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist, all other supernatural beings are ordinary, not even considered low-level demons. At most, they are at the 0.9 Dream World level. At this level, any use of supernatural power beyond a certain limit will be extremely conspicuous in the entire Dream World. As long as there are monitoring methods, it can be discovered immediately once it appears.

But it's second only to this.

Wu Pifu knew that the Heavenly Court was still in a dormant state. This information had been confirmed repeatedly by the people in the Lost Lands. Whether it was the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist Realm, the two most prestigious and strongest civilizations in the Zero Point Dream World, both were in a dormant state in order to conserve reality and resist pollution.

During this period of hibernation, although both will react to the outside world, such as by watching or continuing to erode the upper dream world to obtain reality, this is just a kind of instinctive mechanism. The entire Heavenly Court is in a hibernation state, so the scan just now was just a mechanism in the hibernation state, similar to the reaction of a computer program. That's why it immediately withdrew after failing to scan... It's just to save power.

So as long as it is confirmed that the Heavenly Court is still in a dormant state, then attracting Wang Wudi's manipulation... is feasible, and there is a chance of success!
If manipulated properly, he could even kill Wang Wudi before the Heavenly Court could react, thus completing Lin Daiyu's perfect mission at the same time!

"...Wang Wudi, come and face me, let's see if you can still call yourself invincible!"

Wu Pifu's voice was hoarse, and his words were full of murderous intent.

Not long after, Wu Pifu returned to the city.

This city is Kyoto, the capital of the dynasty in the novel *Dream of the Red Chamber*. It is indeed prosperous, but to those who have read *Dream of the Red Chamber*, it is just as described in the book: a situation of extreme upheaval, with internal strife and external humiliation. Although *Dream of the Red Chamber* only has eighty chapters, it can be seen from the plot and hints that in the end, not only the Ning and Rong mansions, but also the entire dynasty will be wiped out.

However, that's still several years or even more than a decade later. What Wu Pifu wants to do now is to infiltrate the Jia family and immediately begin the perfect training of Lin Daiyu.

"There's no other way, let's use the super brain."

Having made up his mind, Wu Pifu, after entering the capital, sensed the emotions of the people on the street and went straight to the Jia Mansion.

As for how to infiltrate the Jia family mansion, it might be incredibly difficult for others, but for Wu Pifu, who possesses a super brain, once he confirms that all humans in this world are mortals, he can do it all in a matter of seconds.

The cognitive transformation of the super brain!
Besides the three special abilities of superbrains—unchanged past, invincible present, and unlimited future—ordinary superbrains also possess special attributes such as emotional perception, super bullet time, super learning ability, and super information summarization and processing ability. Among these, the ability that ordinary mortals fear the most is... cognitive alteration!
The superbrain possesses the powerful ability to change the perceptions of ordinary mortals in the blink of an eye!

This is not just about modifying memories or giving suggestions; it's about completely changing a person's cognition, altering everything from memories to senses to the subconscious!
To put it simply, if a super-brain is willing, they can easily modify a person's perception to that of a dog or an insect, and the person being modified will never notice it, and even bystanders will think they are just a dog or an insect.

This is an ability that is absolutely forbidden for a civilization and for ordinary people!
Therefore, the three existing human super-brain users, Wu Pifu, Chu Minghao, and Liang Min, are all well aware of this. As a result, they never use this ability in their daily lives. Firstly, this ability is only useful to ordinary mortals, and its effect on superhumans is greatly reduced. It is basically ineffective against the various monsters in the dream world. Secondly, their character and abilities disdain using such methods. They can resolve any issues directly. If it is one's own people, they will use open strategies. If it is an enemy from the outside, they will simply kill them.

Now, this was the first time Wu Pifu had truly used the cognitive alteration of this super brain. Soon, Wu Pifu arrived at the gates of the Jia family mansion, or rather, outside the gates of the Rongguo Mansion.

Two servants from the Rongguo Mansion stood at the door. When Wu Pifu walked straight in, the two servants were a little stunned. One of the servants was about to lash out, but a certain fluctuation appeared, and the two servants paused and immediately said respectfully, "Brother Wu is back?"

Wu Pifu nodded and entered the Rongguo Mansion with an air of nonchalance.

On the other side, Lin Daiyu was very annoyed.

It was the time for an afternoon nap, but Lin Daiyu was inexplicably restless today. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. After a while, Lin Daiyu simply got up by herself and sat on a cool chair to read.

But even the stories she usually enjoyed reading couldn't be read at this moment; she felt restless, as if something was about to happen.

It was roughly like the intuition of a small animal, like a mouse, before an earthquake. At this moment, Lin Daiyu, like a small animal, also had a strange sense of unease and danger.

Just as Lin Daiyu was feeling restless and anxious, there was a sound outside the courtyard. A moment later, her maid Zijuan entered the inner room and was surprised to see Lin Daiyu lying on a cool chair reading a book. She immediately asked, "Why did you get up so early, Miss?"

Lin Daiyu said softly and listlessly, "I'm inexplicably irritable today and can't sleep well, so I just got up to read... What's going on outside?"

Zijuan smiled and said, "The old ancestor went to look for you, Miss. He said that someone from the Lin family has come over."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback, then immediately stood up in delight and said, "Father sent someone?"

Without further ado, Lin Daiyu tidied her clothes and headed to the main hall of the Rongguo Mansion with Zijuan.

Sure enough, before she even reached the hall, she could hear laughter and chatter inside. Besides her familiar sisters, she could also hear the fool's incessant questioning, but she didn't hear anyone else answer.

Lin Daiyu felt strange but also excited. She quickly walked into the hall and looked around, becoming even more puzzled.

There were no familiar servants from the Lin family in the room, nor any seemingly composed adults. Instead, a plain-looking kid with dead fish eyes stood in the center of the hall.

When Lin Daiyu arrived, everyone in the hall looked at her. At the head of the group was a dignified and elegant old woman. She beckoned to Lin Daiyu and said, "Lin girl, come here quickly. Heaven have mercy! Your heartless father has finally remembered you. He couldn't bear to see you all these years, but he still thinks of you and sent your brother to the capital. From now on, you will have a close brother to confide in."

"what?"

Lin Daiyu opened her cherry-like mouth and made a strange, amusing sound.

When did she get a brother?
The dead-fish-eyed brat coughed and said, "Lin Daiyu, right? From today onwards, I'm your brother."

"what?"

Lin Daiyu made that sound again, and she hurriedly turned to the old woman and said, "Grandmother, I don't have any brothers. My father only has me as his daughter."

But the old woman and the people around her seemed not to hear her at all, and just laughed and said happy things. The old woman wiped away her tears and said, "So alike, so alike. Your brother Wu Pifu is just like my poor daughter."

Lin Daiyu's mouth gaped open, the widest it had ever been. Normally, living under someone else's roof, she dreaded making a fool of herself, and such a look was impossible for her. But now she was utterly shocked and could only urgently say, "Grandmother, he's surnamed Wu now, how could he possibly be my father's son?"

But no matter how much Lin Daiyu shouted until her throat was hoarse and tears streamed down her face, the people at the scene continued to laugh.

In the end, only Lin Daiyu's shrill voice rang out continuously.

"My father's surname is Lin, and so am I!"

"Even if I really had an older brother, he should be called Lin Pifu... No, that's not it!"

"I really don't have a brother...!"
