Eternal Night

Chapter 756 Great Terror

So resolute, so pure, so awe-inspiring.

Wu Pifu's actions, his words, and his demeanor all speak volumes.

The dozen or so enraged ascendants gradually calmed down, not because they intended to compromise or give up, but because they had also come to a deep understanding of something.

The only way to eliminate this human being is through absolute violence; all other means—language, compromise, or exchange of benefits—are impossible.

To describe Wu Pifu in simpler terms that they can understand, this man's pursuit of the Dao is as firm as diamond, indestructible!
Even the valiant goblin lowered his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Wu Pifu, however, asked curiously, "What do you mean, 'how'? Just charge in, kill them all along the way, what else? And besides..."

Wu Pifu pointed to the sky. The overwhelming black mist had disappeared, and the strange phenomena that should have been triggered had lost their power. The world had returned to normal. Clearly, killing just one Celestial Dragon noble was not enough to uncover the dark secrets of this world.

"Isn't this still far from enough?"

The numerous sublimated entities remained silent, then disappeared one by one. This was merely a projection of their will. Since they could not achieve their goal through language and transactions, they now had only one last method left.

After these sublimated beings disappeared, Wu Pifu shook his head inexplicably, then flew back to the ship, ignoring the strange and bewildered expressions of the others, and said directly, "Alright, stop looking, let's move on to the next Celestial Dragon, or Celestial Dragon noble, or Celestial Dragon family's territory... Where are all these Celestial Dragons coming from? It's unbelievable."

The crew members were truly dumbfounded, but how could they dare say anything? They could only pretend to raise the sails and set sail. Only the first mate and Mei took out a map and compass to compare the directions, and actually marked many of the Celestial Dragons' territories for Wu Pifu.

On the other hand, with the death of a Celestial Dragon nobleman and his offspring, the news spread throughout many Celestial Dragon territories in a very short time. In addition, the World Government, which was in the midst of a great retreat, also knew about it. This was much more sensational and explosive than the fall of a human ascendant who was kept in the dark and almost unknown to the public!
Almost simultaneously with the incident, the Celestial Dragons, who had previously expressed dissatisfaction with the Great Evacuation and even completely ignored it, began to evacuate their territory at top speed. At the same time, they used their exclusive Celestial Dragon rights to continuously demand that the World Government send more troops and more generals to protect them. The World Government was already overwhelmed by the Great Evacuation and was being harassed by various civilian forces. The Celestial Dragons' strong demands made the situation even more chaotic...

Wu Pifu's ship flew through the air, almost without distinguishing between land and sea along the way. However, the Grand Line consists of multiple continents scattered across the vast ocean, forming a winding and endless sea route. Therefore, no matter how one flies, one must cross the ocean and pass through many port cities and inland towns. In just two days, he witnessed no less than ten riots, pirate raids, and even massacres and burnings by the World Government's chaotic army.

Faced with this situation, even if Wu Pifu was in a hurry, he had no choice but to stop and deal with these matters, of course, with swift and decisive measures, such as building mounds of corpses, building mounds of corpses, building mounds of corpses...

Mei and the other crew members on board trembled as they picked up the severed head and, still shaking, piled it into the shape of a pyramid before pouring cement on top to set it.

Wu Pifu watched this scene with satisfaction. The Jingguan (a mound of stones) stood on the reef outside the port city, and all ships passing through the port city could see it clearly, which provided sufficient deterrence.

Wu Pifu immediately laughed and said to everyone, "I got up early, uh, in another world. Because I didn't know how cement was made, but I knew a little about the components of cement, I used quicklime to pour into these heads, and ended up making a big joke."

Everyone present was stunned. After hearing Wu Pifu's words, they carefully thought about the scene: heads all over the ground, which Wu Pifu piled up one by one and then poured water on them... It must have been quicklime mixed with water, poured onto those heads...

They didn't even dare to think about that scene. More than a third of them covered their mouths and gagged, while the rest were pale-faced.

This is by no means a "joke"!

Wu Pifu immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? This is a deterrent against non-humans. I wouldn't do this to humans!"

That being said, Wu Pifu is intimidating and threatening people indiscriminately, regardless of whether they are human or non-human, male or female, young or old.

Once the mound of corpses was erected and the cement was poured, Wu Pifu turned to the port city officials behind him, who were trembling and respectfully half-prostrate, and said, "Alright, you're in charge of managing the rest of the situation. I've already killed some of your bureaucrats who colluded with the Celestial Dragons, pirates, and mutinous soldiers right here in this mound of corpses. I think there shouldn't be any other problems, right?"

The so-called "some inside" refers to the fact that more than half of the city's bureaucrats became part of the Jingguan (a mound of corpses), while "no other problems" refers to the fact that the three large pirate groups that ravaged the port, with more than 30,000 people, plus more than 50,000 World Government soldiers who colluded with them from within, plus nearly 100,000 rioters who took advantage of the chaos to loot, set fires, rape, and murder in the city, all became part of the Jingguan.

In this way, there are naturally no other problems, because to put it bluntly, even if there were any other problems, the city would be practically deserted.

These bureaucrats shook their heads repeatedly, not daring to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Wu Pifu turned towards the warship with great satisfaction. The crew members showed smiles that were more like cries, nodded and waved to the many officials of the port city, and walked towards the ship with a resolute air of "the wind howls and the Yi River is cold".

As Wu Pifu walked along, he asked curiously, "I'm so curious, are you all so short of money? We've obtained quite a bit of gold, gems, antiques, and money at several World Government military bases along the way. Why don't you accept them or disembark? Don't worry, I keep my word. I will never attack you for disembarking. Heaven and earth bear witness... Well, the heavens and earth of this world are flawed. My conscience and my integrity will bear witness!"

The crew members wore wry smiles as they followed Wu Pifu aboard. The first mate respectfully said to Wu Pifu, "Sir, if it were before, before killing the Celestial Dragon nobles, no, before the six admirals... perhaps before Admiral Kuangsha, we might have had a chance to survive after disembarking, but now that's impossible..."

Wu Pifu looked at the first mate and the other soldiers with a puzzled expression.

The young man who revealed himself to be a member of the Revolutionary Army said, “Sir, the World Government has many spies and several spy teams. They can be soldiers, fishermen, sailors, tax officials… They are lurking everywhere, carrying out the World Government’s secret orders. Once we leave this ship, we will be arrested immediately and subjected to unimaginable torture before disappearing in secret…” Wu Pifu nodded silently, and after a long while said, “I understand. Then let’s change direction and go to the World Government headquarters first. By the way, I see that this world has newspapers, radios, televisions, and various newspaper offices and reporters, right?”

The group exchanged glances, and Mei immediately said, "Yes, our Mountain and Sea Realm has three major news groups that almost monopolize all news publishing. May I ask what your opinion is, sir?"

Wu Pifu laughed and said, "Find these three news organizations, tell them there's a once-in-a-century news story, tell them what I've done, and then send them to the World Government headquarters. Let's call the news... Marineford War!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was slightly taken aback, and then their whole bodies trembled. It was hard to tell whether it was fear, excitement, or the epic feeling of witnessing history that overwhelmed them. Even the most pragmatic Mei was like this, and it had nothing to do with temperament.

The first mate was stunned for a moment, but after a few seconds he immediately said, "Sir, we are willing to go through fire and water for you, but we will be immediately..."

Wu Pifu reached out and his death knives appeared in his hand. Everyone saw him pat the death knives several times, then turn the blade upside down and hand the hilt to the first mate.

“Take my sword and I will slay any general or below. I doubt those ascended beings would dare to attack you; they're probably plotting to gang up on me, or perhaps…”

Wu Pifu suddenly looked up at the sky, and then a cold smile appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, the five vast realities were boiling and burning, and the five radiant bodies enveloped by this burning reality were flowing upstream from the Dream World.

In the dream world's cosmological model, falling from the top layer of absolute reality creates a difference in energy levels based on the amount of reality. It is easy to penetrate from the top layer downwards, but it is extremely difficult to flow upwards from the bottom layer, and it takes a large amount of reality to do so.

The sublimated beings of the Mountain and Sea Realm possess an abundance of truth. Due to the special circumstances of the Mountain and Sea Realm, their wealth of truth is enough to make any Root drool. Therefore, the consumption of this truth does not bother these three sublimated beings. In fact, in order to unleash their full power on the truth level, they prepared ten times the amount of truth compared to the Reverse Flow Upward, just for this consumption.

For certain reasons, they did not intend to actually cause a cataclysmic battle in the Mountain and Sea Realm. This was not out of fear, but because such an action would be more damaging to them. Therefore, they planned to take a decisive approach and head directly to the civilization of Wu Pifu, the true civilization of this era, a newly emerging true era that was still in the true layer and had not yet fallen.

Logically speaking, the real civilization at this time did not even have a systematic supernatural system. The supernatural system belonging to this civilization was either just beginning to sprout or was still being explored. If the great terror from the depths of the dream world came knocking on their door at this time, this civilization would definitely perish. Although such a direct attack from the real body would consume a lot of reality, almost a loss, they were not afraid of this consumption of reality, as they possessed the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"We're almost there! The answer we got from the sacrifice is right here. This real civilization is very special. Although its main body is still in the absolute reality layer and hasn't fallen, it has opened up a small plane in a lower world. The essence of its civilization is in this small world. We will directly break through this small world!!" A ray of light sent out the message.

The other Radiant beings nodded. The Radiant who had just sent the message said, "Thunder Emperor, you are also human. Do you think you should absorb the humans of this True Era?"

The thunder giant who had confronted Wu Pifu before said in an extremely hateful voice, "Refine all the mortals! Extract the souls of all the extraordinary beings! Use this to control Wu Pifu and make him understand what wrong he has done!"

"Let him know the great terror from the depths of this illusory dream world!!"

The five Radiant Legions charged straight towards a small plane that was above 0.9 but hadn't yet reached the Absolute Truth level...

Meanwhile, in the Land of Redemption, Chu Minghao was talking anxiously, while Liang Min was fishing in a fish tank with a blank expression on her face.

"That's enough already. He's such a troublemaker. He's only been back for a few days and he's already disappeared again?" Liang Min said helplessly.

Chu Minghao retorted angrily, "What are you talking about? We've been lingering in the upper levels of the Dream World, while he's been venturing out into the outside world. He's faced far more dangers than we have, okay? Besides, he's risking his life for the greater good of humanity!"

"Yes, yes, then let's wait and see." Liang Min yawned and said, "I reckon his news will suddenly appear like a bolt of lightning..."

Suddenly, five huge bolts of lightning roared from the sky, followed by a thunderous sound.

"Humans, repent! Lament! Your leader, Wu Pifu, has committed an irreparable and culpable sin. We will bring you great terror in the dream world. Hate your leader!!"

Chu Minghao and Liang Min looked at each other, each seeing something strange in the other's eyes.

It's true... Wu Pifu's whereabouts suddenly appeared like a flash of lightning.

Chu Minghao and Liang Min appeared in mid-air at the same time. Looking at the five ascended beings coming towards them, they both murmured to themselves.

"A great terror...?"
