Eternal Night

Chapter 691 What the heck?
Wu Pifu handed Amadeus a beer and took a big gulp of his own.

Amadeus took the drink, gulped it down, exhaled a large breath, and then buried his head in his rice again.

Wu Pifu didn't say much either, and buried himself in his food. Only Xu Shilan stood by with a reserved smile, occasionally taking a bite of her food.

"...So much time has passed."

Xu Shilan murmured, pondering the information Wu Pifu had told her and Amadeus.

The two were already dead, killed in the battle against the Shengwen Group. Of the three, only Wu Pifu was lucky enough to survive.

After that, Wu Pifu could only conquer the Dream World alone. Although Wu Pifu himself spoke of it lightly, both of them who had experienced the Dream World knew how difficult it was. They had risked their lives countless times and narrowly escaped death countless times.

Wu Pifu was the one who persevered and survived. According to him, after experiencing numerous dream worlds, his strength finally increased to the point where he could revive the two of them. In the end, he revived them through time reversal.

This is still described in a lighthearted way, but putting aside Amadeus, Xu Shilan is the previous head of the Xu family. She is well-informed and knows many secrets of the Thirteen Singularity Company. In fact, because of Xu Wanfang, she also knows a lot about the Superbrain and the Human Revolutionary Alliance.

Time travel, and it's a time travel that brings the dead back to life!
This was beyond her imagination; even Singularity Technology couldn't do it. It was practically like a myth!

"...It's not as amazing as you imagine."

While eating, Wu Pifu said, "Looking back now, the method of resurrecting the dead through time travel was actually quite ingenious. For example, when I saved you two, your bodies still had a trace of life. I couldn't do it when I was in the form of a Śrāvaka, but I was able to save you now. It's also because I was exhausted at the moment of time travel, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to sleep for so long. At most, I could have completely healed you in a few days with the help of carbon-based nanotechnology."

"The physical body and the spirit are closely connected. If the physical body recovers, I can also help you completely heal your spirit. However, it is very troublesome that your soul has gone to the realm of death. This is probably the greatest help that time travel can provide. By using the closed loop of time and space, your soul can be pulled back from the realm of death. I really cannot do this yet."

Xu Shilan and Amadei were both stunned. These words were beyond their comprehension. Fortunately, they were spoken in language, and they could understand a lot of it by thinking about it carefully. However, they were both surprised and delighted because it meant that Wu Pifu's current strength was beyond their imagination.

Amade swallowed a large piece of roasted meat and said, "How much stronger are you now than that Śrāvaka?"

Wu Pifu thought about it seriously, then he stretched out a fist, shook his head, switched the five fingers in turn, and finally stretched out his little finger and said: "About the point where a little finger can crush a Śrāvaka."

Amadeus sighed, both happy and regretful, and said, "I heard you mention the Land of Redemption before. It seems that Xu Shilan and I can't accompany you on your adventure now. Your level is too far from ours. We might have to go to the Land of Redemption to find a new team... No, only I need to find a new team. Xu Shilan doesn't need to."

Xu Shilan blinked her big eyes and looked at Wu Pifu. She leaned against the table, her face contorted into a beautiful curve, and looked at Wu Pifu without saying a word.

Wu Pifu replied seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my partners from beginning to end. Isn't it good that there is a big gap between your strength and mine? Now that you are back, I don't have anything urgent to do. The previous rounds of battles have indeed left me a bit exhausted. Now I just want to rest for a while. I will accompany you to visit a few more dream worlds around 0.7. After you obtain your first title and level up your extraordinary system, you can go to the 0.6 dream world. At that time, it won't be too far from me. I have only just conquered the 0.5 dream world."

Xu Shilan and Amadeus looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.

To be honest, after their time with Wu Pifu, and now being saved by his kindness, the two of them trusted him implicitly. Moreover, they could both see that Wu Pifu was incredibly powerful, and they no longer needed to worry or fear if they followed him. Although they had troubled Wu Pifu a lot, their bond was already one of life-or-death friendship, so there was no need to say more at this point.

Xu Shilan reached for the red wine and took a small sip: "So, you've awakened the superbrain? You're the superbrain now?"

Wu Pifu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm already a superbrain..."

He then recounted the situation in the Land of Redemption, especially mentioning that Chu Minghao had been elected President of the Unified Human Government, and that Liang Min had brought at least one-fifth of the Human Revolutionary Alliance to join.

After hearing this, Xu Shilan sighed and said, "...Of course, they both consider themselves to be men of great talent and ambition, and they both have various ideas and plans for human civilization. Now that you, an ordinary superbrain, have been born, they naturally have a basis for cooperation..."

At this point, Xu Shilan's face showed sadness, clearly thinking of her younger brother, Xu Wanfang.

Wu Pifu paused for a moment before saying, "I've met your brother."

Xu Shilan immediately looked at Wu Pifu.

"It happened at a point in time when I was retracing my steps..."

Wu Pifu thought of his contact with Xu Wanfang and sighed, "He is truly an outstanding person. Putting aside the strength of his super brain ability, he is more suitable to lead humanity than Chu Minghao and Liang Min. Well, Chu Minghao can barely match him, but Liang Min is just a funny idiot."

Xu Shilan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Little Brother Wu just knows how to say nice things to amuse people... It's a pity that my brother is already gone."

At this moment, Amadeus casually said from the side, "Why think about these things? Get stronger! Brother Wu can use time travel to save us. In the future, when we become stronger, we might be able to save your brother too."

Xu Shilan's eyes lit up immediately. She stared at Wu Pifu in a daze. Wu Pifu naturally understood what Xu Shilan meant and nodded vigorously. Xu Shilan then smiled sweetly.

After the three of them had almost finished eating, Wu Pifu stood up and said, "Let's go back to the Land of Redemption, otherwise I'm afraid Chu Minghao and Liang Min might do something drastic."

Xu Shilan and Amadei both stood up at the same time. Xu Shilan asked curiously, "I just heard you mention that Chu Minghao became the president. So what about the presidential candidates? You must be a presidential candidate. What about the others?" Wu Pifu suddenly remembered something and said in a deep voice, "The others from the Eleventh Family. There is also a person named Xu Ruonan, who is the current acting head of the Xu family. I still have some questions to ask her."

Amadeus was naturally unaware of and unfamiliar with these things. He followed Wu Pifu nonchalantly behind him, while Xu Shilan seemed to be deep in thought.

"Xu Ruonan?"

Xu Shilan said, "I haven't had much contact with her. She used to be a nobody in the family, but my younger brother once mentioned her to me, saying that she has a twisted desire for power and would do anything for power and status... What do you want to ask her?"

Wu Pifu walked ahead without turning his head and said, "...Is she even human?"

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Land of Redemption through the mainframe, and as soon as they stepped into the Land of Redemption, a voice rang in Wu Pifu's mind.

"Congratulations, host Wu Pifu, for exceeding the mission requirements, creating the impossible, and re-establishing the three pillars of humanity. Mission completion rate exceeds 300%. Do you wish to complete the mission now, or continue accumulating completion rate?"

Wu Pifu was completely bewildered. He subconsciously glanced at his title list and saw that it contained the titles "Rogue," "Master Kui," and "Deceitful Pearl," and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? What did I do?"

As Wu Pifu asked the question, a voice similar to the mainframe, but much quieter, spoke, simultaneously projecting text and data onto its retina.

"Mission: The Dragon King Returns. Mission objectives: Kill Xu Ruonan (incomplete), collect the main brain fragments (incomplete), and re-establish the three pillars of humanity (incomplete). Mission completion rate: 500%"

Upon hearing and seeing this, Wu Pifu couldn't help but roar, "What the hell is wrong with you?! Everything is incomplete, yet my mission completion rate is 500%?!"

Task System: "..."

After roaring, Wu Pifu ignored Xu Shilan and Amadeus's surprised expressions. He pondered for a while and roughly understood the logic of the mission system.

This mission system was derived from other time-space nodes during time rewind. It was formed by a mixture of fragmented masterminds, predetermined death, the source of dreams, or some other miscellaneous elements.

According to the mastermind's judgment, completing the tasks issued by this thing will yield considerable rewards.

It's estimated that it also comes from the many corpses of origins suspended in the imaginary space of the absolute truth layer, so it's not surprising that there's anything inside.

The reason why its mission judgment is so strange seems to be because this mission system comes from the timeline after he was lost in the Warhammer Dream World, and it is hundreds of years later. Even if he returns to the original timeline of the absolute spacetime concept, the time of this mission system is still anchored to the timeline of its birth.

As for why the mission completion rate suddenly reached 300%, it's probably because Chu Minghao, Liang Min, and he are in the Redemption World. The three of them happen to be the three pillars of humanity. The original three people are all intact, so how could the mission completion rate not be high?
"Task issued...Task assessment in progress, assessment complete."

"Strike back!"

"The root cause has been discovered: the Mother invaded the remnants of the Land of Redemption."

"The Land of Redemption, the last hope of mankind. After Gaia was lost and the Land of Redemption was shattered, the remaining space of the Land of Redemption has become the last refuge for mankind."

"Host, as humanity's last hope, even knowing you are no match for the Root: Mother, you still decide to raise the Broken Blade of Heroic Spirits and fight back to protect this last hope of humanity!"

"Expel and purify the root cause: Mother's pollution, complete the task as needed."

Wu Pifu immediately looked in the direction indicated by the mission system and became alert. After watching for a while, he saw Gao Changgong leading several people rushing towards him while shouting. They looked as if they were about to cry with joy.

Finally, Wu Pifu searched around and sensed a tiny, insignificant amount of contamination on a badge worn on the chest of one of Gao Changgong's underlings... This contamination was not even as strong as his mother's ring, no, they weren't even in the same league. The difference between them was thousands or tens of thousands of times. This badge could only be considered the lowest-grade extraordinary item.

"You call this thing... Root: Mother?"

"Host, please draw your sword and fight immediately! For humanity, fight to the death!!"

Wu Pifu stood there in silence for a long time before whispering, "Task system, complete the Dragon King Returns quest."

"Task assessment in progress. Assessment complete. Congratulations, host, you have achieved 500% success in this task. You can obtain one of the following items."

"Magical Girl's Heart Flower (Broken)..."

Other options were presented, and Wu Pifu's eyes narrowed when he saw the first reward.
