Eternal Night

Chapter 792 Realization and Returning Home
"...This is good stuff!"

Chu Minghao looked at the Holy Grail floating in front of him and exclaimed in admiration.

"This is certainly a good thing," Wu Pifu nodded repeatedly.

Currently, the Night Watchers experience the dream world, and although the proportion of those who suffer attacks beyond the scope of the law is not large, they will eventually encounter ghosts if they walk at night for a long time.

To date, hundreds of Night's Watch members have been forced to leave the ranks due to irreversible injuries. Human technology can only repair simple physical damage; it has almost no effective way to treat supernatural levels of pollution, distortion, and erosion.

At the same time, the human superhuman system has not yet been fully established. Although there are superhumans in the fields of medical treatment and repair, their numbers are small and unsystematic, and their treatment methods are not always appropriate. As a result, many Night Watchers have accumulated irreversible injuries.

Those who are in better condition can return to a normal life, which can be considered a professional retirement for the night watchmen. However, those who are in worse condition are either bedridden or must be imprisoned and guarded. Especially those who are imprisoned and guarded, their lives are worse than death. In many cases, killing them would be an act of mercy.

Wu Pifu knew about these things, but he couldn't solve them either. Neither could Chu Minghao, nor could Liang Min. Even though the human government had gathered most of its scientists and scholars, as well as various affiliated companies to assist them, they still couldn't solve the problem. The number of Night Watchers in their miserable state continued to increase.

Now that we have the Holy Grail, I can't say for sure that it can heal them, but at least it gives us a glimmer of hope.

Wu Pifu and Chu Minghao were both delighted, and the two then chatted about what had happened recently.

Wu Pifu naturally set off for a solo rental mission, while Chu Minghao remained in Redemption Land, serving as the final pillar of human civilization. Meanwhile, Liang Min sent a message during this time, stating that he had received information about a quarter of the Human Revolutionary Alliance's forces. Although Zhi and Mi had not yet appeared, it was undoubtedly a sign that the two were bringing their subordinates and forces closer to the unified human government.

On the other side, the chairman of the First Company recently returned to the Land of Redemption, bringing back thousands of employees from the company's forces, not just the First Company, but also employees from several other companies. He handed them all over to Chu Minghao for resettlement. At the same time, he also took away millions of points from the Unified Government under some pretext, purely using the Land of Redemption as the company's logistical base.

"...But it's fine this way."

Chu Minghao, however, didn't seem to care. He said, "I've given them the points, the supplies they needed, and the personnel have all been properly settled. As I said before, as long as they are genuinely repentant, they are all human beings and can be united with. Our enemy is the Dream World itself, the monsters and the root of all evil lurking within it. For the sake of human civilization, there's nothing we can't discuss. The fact that they're using this place as a logistical base shows that they are truly gradually returning to our side."

Wu Pifu didn't understand or want to understand these political issues. He figured if the sky fell, someone else would hold it up. He just wanted to solve the problems at hand and his own problems.

"Realization? You've already accumulated so many points?"

Chu Minghao asked in surprise, then suddenly realized: "Oh right, Xu Shilan, that woman is something else, she's really something. She caused me and Liang Min so much trouble by forming alliances back then... If you marry her, you'll be in for a world of trouble."

Wu Pifu said expressionlessly, "Well, I guess I can only marry him after my parents materialize and my parents in this world are resurrected."

"No, buddy, you really want to marry her? What about Huang Rong? And..."

Chu Minghao stared wide-eyed at Wu Pifu, only to see Wu Pifu respond expressionlessly. As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer until he could only mutter, "Fine, you'll have to suffer for it yourself... Realization, I've never seen anything that turns an illusion into reality before. When will it start?"

Wu Pifu pulled out a large handful of human-shaped figurines from his pocket and said, "Right now."

After saying that, Wu Pifu directly said, "Main Brain, bring these figurines to life... no, these virtual beings."

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

"This group of life forms is highly illusory and currently in a solidified state. To make them real would require a large amount of points. With the current capabilities of the main brain module, it is not possible to determine their reality instantly. It is recommended that citizen Wu Pifu wait for the main brain to upgrade three more times before attempting to make them real."

"What? Three more times? Not the third time?" Wu Pifu retorted angrily, "I might not even see you level up three more times in my entire life! And what about the Heavenly Dao Fragments I stole for you before? Why haven't you leveled up a third time?"

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

The mainframe replied with this message. Wu Pifu immediately looked at Chu Minghao, who shrugged helplessly and said, "Don't look at me. I've asked this many times, and every time the mainframe just tries to fool me. Obviously, the Heavenly Dao fragments alone are not enough for it to upgrade a third time. As for a third time... let's forget about it. Let's make it real now."

Wu Pifu continued helplessly, "Fine, mainframe, I'll dismantle you sooner or later... Tell me, how do we make them real?"

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete. Currently, the main brain's function can only materialize one life, one object, or one cluster pointing towards the target at a time. For each of these illusory life forms to become real, it will take between sixty and one hundred days, depending on the degree of their illusory nature, their extraordinary strength, and their kinship with humans. At the same time, the consumption of real energy is uncertain. Preliminary estimates suggest that it will require tens of millions to hundreds of millions."

Wu Pifu complained, "Ten million is still ten million, and nine hundred million is still a hundred million. What the hell are you trying to fool me about?"

Mastermind: "...Should we make it real?"

Wu Pifu was helpless.

He couldn't not make them real; a promise is a promise. Since he brought them out of the Lost Lands, he had to make them real. Moreover, they possessed a lot of useful information, especially the Human Immortal Martial Arts and the Yang God Path. These two were essential for his future perfect sublimation.

"Okay... wait a minute."

Wu Pifu paused for a moment, then asked again, "Main Brain, to bring a fake parallel world to reality, does it also require a lot of time and a large amount of uncertain points?"

"...It is correct to implement the realization process with the current capabilities."

Suddenly, an idea popped into Wu Pifu's mind, and he immediately asked again, "But when we materialized the martial arts of the Lost World and Huang Rong, there was no such process." "Judging in progress... Judgment complete, Lost World transformation is not illusory transformation."

Wu Pifu and Chu Minghao looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. Chu Minghao also complained, "Mastermind, are you like toothpaste? You only tell us a little bit at a time. You won't tell us unless we ask, right? Such important information, the Lost Transformation is not an Illusion... There seems to be very important information in this."

Mastermind: “…”

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "Can I still enter the illusory parallel world now? Not to make it real, but to enter it myself."

"...Entry can be made individually by contributing points."

Wu Pifu sighed and said to Chu Minghao, "This 100 million points was given to me by Xu Shilan. Her current business model has expanded to a huge extent, and it is very likely that she will not be able to give me so many points in a short period of time. Realization is definitely going to happen, but before that, I want to go home."

Chu Minghao already knew that when the three of them fought the Enderer together, Wu Pifu met his parents in a false parallel world and sealed them away in the end. He also knew that going home meant entering that world.

He could naturally understand this feeling; in fact, all humans can understand this feeling—hometown, home, parents, relatives…

"Go ahead, I'll take care of the Land of Redemption, and Liang Min will handle the higher-ups in the Dream World. Don't worry, take a good rest. You're really exhausted," Chu Minghao said with a hearty laugh.

Wu Pifu nodded slightly, then asked the main AI, "I... I have three small animals and a golden tree bonsai to enter with me. How many points do I need?"

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete, you may enter. 90,000 points can be maintained for one day."

90,000 points a day...

This number is naturally very high for ordinary night watchmen; even the unified government probably wouldn't spend that many points. However, Wu Pifu can afford it. Although he spends a lot of points, he also earns them quickly, so he has no reason to be stingy at this time.

“Then, I’ll go home and rest for ten days.” Wu Pifu nodded slightly to Chu Minghao, then said to the main AI, “Main AI, let me go home.”

A moment later, Wu Pifu stood on a busy street.

This is a scene from the 21st century, with skyscrapers, ordinary pedestrians, a clear sky, and a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere. He has indeed returned to a virtual parallel world.

Then he suddenly noticed his sister, Zizi, standing beside him... a combination of three small animals, but strangely, Zizi's hair was golden-green.

"...Why did you dye your hair? And why did you dye it so ugly? Have you turned into a delinquent?" Wu Pifu said with dissatisfaction.

Zizi seemed a little dizzy and disoriented. Hearing Wu Pifu's words, she immediately shouted, "Dye your hair my ass! Look closely! The Golden Tree is with us too!"

Wu Pifu asked in surprise, "You can do that?"

Does that mean that no matter how much stuff you bring in, it will all merge into one thing?
Seeing Wu Pifu's probing gaze, it squeaked and roared, "Are you thinking about something very rude?!"

Wu Pifu turned his head at a 45-degree angle, determined the direction, and started walking towards his residential area.

Only then did Zhizhi recover a little from her dizziness. She grabbed Wu Pifu and said, "It'll be fine to talk here. Wu Pifu, why did you suddenly come back to this illusory little world?"

Wu Pifu frowned and said, "I just want to go home and rest for a few days, what's wrong?"

Zhizhi said with a serious face, "No, it's not that simple. Your intuition is very strong. Even if an enemy whose strength and rank far exceed yours wants to harm you, they cannot completely block your premonition. It's just that you yourself can't fully realize it. The reason you came back is because you instinctively know that if you don't come back this time, you may never be able to come back."

Wu Pifu frowned as he looked at Zhizhi, then reached out and grabbed Zhizhi's shoulder. With a whoosh, he leaped up and pulled Zhizhi to the top of the tallest building in the vicinity. Only then did the crowd on the street gasp in surprise.

Wu Pifu ignored him and asked, "What do you mean? Explain in detail."

Squeak said, "Now I am Beelzebub, listen carefully, Wu Pifu."

"The Heavenly Court is awakening! I finally understand why I dared not speak freely in the outside world. One of the Heavenly Court's three major monitoring devices must have been revived: the Heavenly Mirror, the Heavenly Pearl, and the Heavenly Tablet. Any one of them is enough to monitor most of the Dream World region, including the real civilization of the era. Do you understand? My instinct is to not speak because I'm afraid of this thing. The Heavenly Court... wants to harm me!"

Wu Pifu said with a hint of disbelief, "So what? We're still in the Absolute Truth Layer and haven't fallen yet. I don't believe the Heavenly Court can come down to the Absolute Truth Layer to attack us."

Zhizhi's face remained serious as she said something that truly shocked Wu Pifu.

"The Heavenly Court can really rush out of the Zero Dream World to beat you up... Weren't you curious about what those two unknown things were left in the Transcendent Great World? After experiencing the Mountain and Sea Realm, I remember!"

"Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens where the Heavenly Court is located lies a transcendent world that has been refined by the Primordial Immortals!"
