Eternal Night

Chapter 711 People from Heaven
"Uh... may you have a safe journey, smooth sailing, many years have passed since we last met..."

Wu Pifu waved and spoke to Baghdad's fleet with a stiff expression, looking disgusted, but he had to pretend to be familiar with the language, which was extremely frustrating.

Not only was he conflicted, but all the crew members on the Sea Emperor and its affiliated ships were also conflicted. They wanted to shout that they didn't know him that well, but they didn't dare to, and they put on fake smiles for everyone in the Order faction.

They waved awkwardly to each other; it was less a farewell and more a call to get lost.

However, this scene still had to be performed, even if it was just to give the nine generals of the Order faction a plausible reason.
In short, out of respect for Wu Pifu, the nine generals of the Order faction forced stiff smiles. Although they didn't wave, they watched helplessly as the heavily injured Baghdad left, their expressions as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

Sitting on the deck of the Sea Emperor, Baghdad was drinking and laughing loudly, slapping the deck: "Did you see the expressions on those things' faces? Hahaha, it's like they ate shit, and they have to savor it slowly, they can't just swallow it whole. Just for those expressions, this trip was totally worth it!"

Several beautiful nurses were treating Baghdad's wounds. One of the head nurses couldn't help but say, "Captain, you're seriously injured. Drink less..."

Baghdad ignored him, saying as he drank, "What a joke! Alcohol is my lifesaver! How can a man not drink?"

At this moment, the second mate came over to Baghdad and said, "Are you really going to fight? With this kind of attack, you're doomed in no time."

Baghdad said nonchalantly, "You want me to run away? Believe me or not, I'll twist your head off! Get lost! I'm really looking forward to this battle! And you think I didn't see it? I knew from the previous battle that he hadn't even used 70% of his strength, otherwise he wouldn't be standing there waiting for me to attack... He's really strong!"

Yeah, that's really impressive.

This is how everyone felt about Wu Pifu demonstrating his strength.

That final strike had surpassed the limits of the Celestial Phenomenon level, and by an unknown number of times.

If a general's full-force attack can sink a small island, then a celestial-level attack can sink a large island or a small archipelago. Wu Pifu's attack was enough to wipe out the territories of the three great empires. This is why the nine generals dared not move at all, because their countries could not withstand Wu Pifu's attack!
At this moment, Baghdad suddenly thought of something. He waved to a large, fat man in the distance. The fat man was a little puzzled, but he quickly came to Baghdad's side.

Baghdad said, "Meatball, do you remember that joke we told before?"

The fat man named Rou Dun paused for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of joke are you telling?"

Baghdad said, "You said I was invincible, and I said being invincible is too lonely. You said that since I'm invincible, then the next enemy will come from the sky..."

After a long pause, Rou Dun nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I said back then that only an enemy from the heavens is worthy of you... You mean, Wu Pi Fu is an enemy from the heavens? No, it should be said that he came from the upper realm?!"

Baghdad remained silent, while his officers, including the first, second, and third mates, began to discuss amongst themselves.

The legend of the Upper Realm has existed in this world for a long time, including the existence of the only level 10 mythical ship. All of this suggests that there is an even more vast, more powerful, and more unpredictable Upper Realm above this world. In fact, some ancient ruins or the historical records of the three great empires mention that certain heroes and great men traveled to the Upper Realm aboard the level 10 mythical ship Dream.

This has become the ultimate pursuit of many people who stand at the pinnacle of the world.

Most importantly, the fog curse, or the ship curse, is the nightmare of all the powerful. Legend has it that only by going to the upper realm can one get rid of this curse, which makes going to the upper realm the dream of countless people.

"Whether it is true or not, since we have made a pact to fight, we will meet again someday!"

Baghdad, however, was carefree. He stood up, disregarding his serious injuries, carried a barrel of wine to the edge of the deck, poured half of it into the sea, and then laughed heartily as he drank the rest...

On the other side, Wu Pifu saw that Baghdad had already gone far away. He ignored the remaining generals and turned back to his lodging in the port. The passersby all looked at him with a mixture of shock and admiration. He went back to his rented room and saw Xu Shilan and Beelzebub talking, while Amadei was writing something on a piece of paper.

Wu Pifu approached the two and asked, "Is it a Level 3 shelter now?"

Xu Shilan smiled sweetly at Wu Pifu, and Amadeus nodded repeatedly.

Just as Baghdad left this area of ​​water, the mainframe's notification sounded in Wu Pifu's mind.

"The mission was accomplished, but an enemy descended from the heavens." "In the year 821 of the Ocean Calendar, the invincible Sea Emperor Bagdat led his fleet to raid Chiya Harbor in search of the legendary information from the upper realm, but encountered the enemy Wu Pifu who descended from the heavens."

"The two sides fought for seven days and seven nights. The islands sank and the sea dried up. In the end, the sea emperor Baghdad was defeated and fled. He made an agreement with the enemy from the sky, Wu Pifu, to fight again in the future."

"During this battle, nine generals from three great empires and numerous island lords watched from afar, all marveling and admiring. In an instant, the fame of Captain Wu Pifu of the Dog Egg and his men spread throughout the world, becoming a new legend..."

“You have established a three-tiered shelter.”

"It can carry life (non-human, non-nightmare) between the shelter and the real world."

"You have received a fully random draw (Level 1 Shelter) reward."

"You have received a reward of a level 1 personal attribute boost (not exceeding the limit)."

"You receive a digitized interface of your personal information in this world and a designated world as a reward."

"You are rewarded with the ability to awaken ten slumbering beings, or one citizenship."

"You must return to the world where the sanctuary is located every thirty days and stay for five days."

It's the normal reward for a level 3 shelter, which Wu Pifu is already familiar with. However, since it's an event-based shelter, the event details are displayed. But... Wu Pifu really wants to complain about this event.

What does it mean for an enemy to come from the sky? Okay, he doesn't belong to this world, so he could barely be considered an enemy from the sky, but what's with the seven-day, seven-night battle? What does it mean for archipelagos to sink and the sea to dry up? What does it mean to be amazed and admire?
He really felt like he had endless complaints to make!
Xu Shilan said, "Yes, the prompt set up a level three sanctuary. It's a pity. If it were a level four sanctuary, we could directly select the Devil Fruit that best suits us."

Amadeus looked up and said, “It’s strange, Brother Wu. According to what you said before, you killed that emperor in the Song Dynasty dream world and immediately established a level five shelter. This Sea Emperor here is much more important than the Song Dynasty emperor, so why is it only a level three shelter?”

Wu Pifu was also puzzled, but Xu Shilan immediately said, "No, perhaps this Sea Emperor is not as important as the emperor of the Song Dynasty's Dream World."

Both of them looked at her, and Xu Shilan said, "During the few days we spent in the Land of Redemption, I was constantly reading the information in the historical database established by the government. According to the historical information shown in the database, the center of human civilization on Earth during the Song Dynasty was actually in Asia, with Europe and the Middle East being slightly less developed. Therefore, the Song Dynasty can be said to be the pinnacle and core of human civilization at that time. Every move of the Song Dynasty emperors influenced the direction of human civilization in that world. Thinking about it this way, doesn't it make a completely different difference in importance?"

Wu Pifu and Amadeus both seemed lost in thought.

If we really compare them based on this, the Sea Emperor Baghdat is no match for the Song Dynasty emperor, because besides him, there are three other great empires in this world, and even the pirate alliance has some figures who are slightly inferior to him, but not too many. Therefore, the final level of the sanctuary set by the mastermind is only level three.

Wu Pifu asked, "So what's next? If you want to quickly reach level five, it's simple. Based on emotional perception, there are two other people who are recognized as strong as Baghdad. I'll take you on a round of battles. After defeating them all, you should be either level four or level five. That way, you can get your first title. And the first title is the same as the first time you use a random lottery. You will get the title that is most suitable for you. At that time, your strength will undergo a huge qualitative change."

"No no no."

Xu Shilan immediately shook her head with a smile. She said seriously, "This is too crude. You should know that the greatest deterrent effect of weapons is actually before they are used. This time you defeated Baghdad and showed off your skills, which made everyone have to give you face. But if you think about it carefully, you didn't actually kill those key figures. You didn't break ties with either the pirate camp or the order camp. This gave both camps the illusion that they could win you over. Even if they couldn't win you over, at least they thought they shouldn't offend you, right?"

Wu Pifu nodded in agreement.

Xu Shilan smiled and continued, "Moreover, judging from the mainframe's judgment, your identity as someone who came from the sky is now history. I'm afraid both the pirate camp and the order camp will have the same idea. This is exactly what our identity is like. Since that's the case, why don't we take advantage of this?"

Wu Pifu and Amadei were both confused for a moment, but Xu Shilan smiled and said, "Even if it's an event-based shelter, it doesn't necessarily have to be all about fighting and killing. In fact, it's more about changing the course of history in this world, right? So we can become the third force in this world as 'people from the sky,' but not a third force that fights against the pirate camp and the order camp. Instead, we can act as a third force that can cooperate and trade with both sides, and mediate between these two major camps!"

At this point, Wu Pifu and Amadei seemed to be deep in thought, while Xu Shilan spoke up without waiting for them to.

"Let's go trading!"

Let's play the Age of Exploration!
