Eternal Night

Chapter 803 The Origin of Immortals and the Attack in Dreams

Beelzebub was remembering more and more things.

According to her, there were no immortals at the beginning. The original civilization of the Heavenly Court only had cultivators, and the extraordinary path they took was cultivation. It was the cultivation path passed down by the various great gods of the original civilization of the Heavenly Court. At that time, all extraordinary people were collectively called cultivators, and the pinnacle of cultivation was to defy the innate, transform into a god, and walk the path of a great god.

There were no immortals at that time. The first immortal was the First Immortal, and only after him did the concept of immortals come into existence.

"The power of immortals involves the combination of the physical body, mental consciousness, and the true spirit of the soul. The power displayed by each immortal is completely different, and this power transcends the most basic logic of the extraordinary..."

In the pouring rain, amidst the crackling of the endless sea of ​​electricity, Wu Pifu carved out a sloping burrow with his bare hands. He, along with three small animals and a golden bonsai tree, took shelter inside. Beelzebub, seemingly stimulated by something, began to recount her memories incessantly.

"...The power of the soul was revealed to all living beings for the first time. Before this, all extraordinary paths were merely the physical body and spiritual consciousness. Only after reaching the first immortal realm did all living beings realize how terrifying the power of the true spirit of the soul was, simply unreasonable..."

Beelzebub seemed to be trembling, and although it was rather strange for a fly to tremble, her fear was indeed infectious to those around her.

"...I know it sounds strange to say this, but the extraordinary also has logic, reason, and a certain balance. For example, take your Chinese martial arts, the Human Immortal Martial Arts, or other extraordinary arts. If you cut someone, you will be injured; if you kill someone, they will die. The strength and speed are only a certain amount. At most, they will be enhanced during bursts of power. These are all so-called paper data, right?"

Beelzebub asked Wu the ants.

After thinking about it carefully, Wu Pifu nodded vigorously.

Beelzebub continued, “But the power of the true spirit of the soul violates all of this basic logic. The nature of its power is very, very special and strange, and it is extremely powerful, even... like the effects caused by a source of pollution, such as certain strange types of nightmares, or certain strange changes in pollution. I can't quite describe it, for example, for example... right, for example, like your title!!”

"title?"

Wu Pifu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he took out the Dream Compass and said, "Mastermind, display my title of 'commoner'."

Immediately, the information about the title "Commoner" was displayed in numerical form in front of the small animals and the golden tree.

Beelzebub immediately said, "True damage within five steps, true defense beyond five steps—this is like the power of the soul's true spirit manifested by the immortals! Think about it carefully, the real world isn't a game, how could there be so-called 'true' damage? But you still have that title, and that's actually your greatest source of power, and also the most unreasonable thing about the mainframe!!"

Wu Pifu's expression immediately turned serious.

If the immortals of the Heavenly Court truly possess power similar to that of a titled commoner, and even more so, the special power of such a title, then they would indeed be an unimaginable formidable enemy.

Beelzebub continued his rambling: "Moreover, the power of immortals is not only about tempering their own souls and true spirits. At the end of my memory, after the Heavenly Court broke with Buddhism, the Heavenly Court launched a massive attack on those civilizations and worlds that refused to submit, shaping their intelligent beings into spiritual treasures through 'refining'. The strange abilities of those spiritual treasures' various souls and true spirits are all unreasonable. For example, the three spiritual treasures I mentioned to you before, the Heavenly Mirror, the Heavenly Pearl, and the Heavenly Tablet, were refined in this way. Their effects can monitor the entire dream world, and may even be able to glimpse the absolute truth layer. They are unimaginably powerful!"

Wu Pifu silently memorized the information, then asked, "What else?"

After thinking for a while, Beelzebub said, "By the way, there's also the departure of the ancient gods of the Heavenly Court. Although I'm not entirely clear on the inside story, it's related to the changes in the Absolute Truth Layer, to the creation of the Absolute Truth Era civilization, and I suspect that the ancient gods and immortals lost their internal struggle... Even those ancient gods who were far more powerful than me were defeated by the primordial immortals. You absolutely cannot understand the power and terror of that... They have dominated the entire Dream World for countless eras."

"However, all powers involving the soul and true spirit have corresponding negative and terrifying aspects. It's just that the immortals have transferred these negative and terrifying aspects to others through some method... By the way, after the Heavenly Court, several other civilizations and extraordinary paths that utilized the power of the soul and true spirit emerged, but they all basically perished. Only one survived, but I suspect it was a fate worse than death for him—that was the New Testament Angel Civilization..."

Just as Wu Pifu was about to speak, Beelzebub suddenly screamed, "I remember now, I remember now, the root domain of the Primordial Immortal is... Myriad Spirits! Yes, the Primordial Immortal has attained Myriad Spirits!"

All spirits!

Wu Pifu felt a chill run down his spine.

He obtained this information during his time travel mission in Dream of the Red Chamber, a mission with a perfect closed time loop.

All things, all spirits...

However, he cautiously kept it from anyone. He had a hunch that if he rashly revealed this information to others, something terrible would immediately happen.

And now, Beelzebub has actually uttered that word.

Beelzebub said in a sharp voice, “I remember now, the first Buddha attained the myriad phenomena, and the first immortal attained the myriad spirits. These are the two most special ones in the realm of all origins. One represents the physical body of all existence, and the other represents the true spirit of all existence. I remember now... Before Nuwa came to the absolute truth layer, before I encountered that final upheaval, she told me that I must prevent the myriad phenomena and the myriad spirits from meeting, otherwise the final scene will appear... What is it? What scene is it?”

Beelzebub's voice grew increasingly shrill and distorted. By the end, both Chiu Chiu and Daphne were shaking in pain, the leaves of the golden tree bonsai fell one by one, and even Wu Pifu felt a loss of consciousness.

But before they could continue to grieve, after Beelzebub uttered his last word, the giant fly collapsed to the ground and transformed into a naked female body right before Wu Pifu's eyes, completely unconscious.

"...Heavenly Court, First Immortal..."

Wu Pifu's eyes were deep. He reached out and pulled out a piece of clothing from his personal space, covering Beelzebub with it. At the same time, he tapped his fingers to stabilize Beelzebub's physical body and mental consciousness. Only then did he begin to mutter incantations. He felt an extremely strong sense of palpitations.

In the future, the Gaia civilization will inevitably face the Heavenly Court head-on!
Just as Beelzebub fell unconscious, Chuchu and Daphne were terrified, and Wu Pifu was deep in thought, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up at the long underground passage.

Outside, a torrential downpour continued, with lightning flashing and the sky and earth a sea of ​​electricity. Just a moment ago, he vaguely sensed something approaching from outside the cave, but the environment outside was no longer habitable for any living thing, not even those terrifying behemoths. Nothing should be able to get close.

Just to be on the safe side, Wu Pifu even focused his attention to carefully examine the entire passage, but ultimately found nothing. After a long while, he slowly relaxed, stood in front of Beelzebub, the two small animals, and the golden tree bonsai, and fell asleep with them...

"……so good."

Wu Pifu sighed with delight as he ate the delicious food his mother had prepared.

His father kept praising him, saying that he had been admitted to a key university affiliated with the United Nations. Hmm... the United Nations?

But this is not important.

He succeeded!

The world's number one scorer in the college entrance exam, soon he will be going to study in New York State... New York State?

But that's not important!

He proved that he was also wise, and that his wisdom far surpassed that of others!

That's right!

As a human, as a pure-blooded human, he finally shed the label of being merely a muscle and strength. Everyone—Chu Minghao, Liang Min, Qiu Qiu, Daphne, Beelzebub, Zhi, Mi…—all acknowledged his profound wisdom!

It's summer vacation now, so he can happily stay in his room, sit quietly, and play games... Hmm? Sit quietly?
But that's not important!

Summer vacation was coming to an end quickly, and he was going to take a plane across Lake Möbius to New York State... Hmm? Lake Möbius?

But no...

No, no, his country is going to New York State. No, isn't New York City supposed to be across the Pacific Ocean?
However, Lake Möbius should be larger...

Wait a minute, what exactly is Lake Möbius?
But no...

Do not!
This is very important!!
Wu Pifu suddenly opened his eyes. Before him, countless bizarre images flashed by. The strange things he had just seen in his dream were now appearing before him in the form of virtual images, but they were rapidly dissipating. He also discovered that there was an invisible tube connecting to the back of his head, and there were several of these tubes, connecting to Qiuqiu, Daphne, Beelzebub (female body), and the Golden Tree.

Their life energy was being sucked away through the pipes, while a dark, negative aura was being poured into their bodies through the pipes.

"……This is!?"

Wu Pifu was extremely shocked and furious. He had no prior warning of this attack. He immediately sprang up and forcefully pulled at the pipe.

These pipes were neither physical objects nor energy; they were more like some kind of illusory concept or information. However, within five steps of him, whatever they were was of no use. With a single pull, all the pipes snapped.

But the next second, Chirp, Daphne, and Beelzebub all screamed. Their bodies trembled violently, emitting extremely terrifying and painful cries, accompanied by their frantic attempts to grab the end of the annihilating pipe.

To Wu Pifu's shock, they were not being controlled, but rather, like some kind of withdrawal reaction, they instinctively wanted to keep the pipes connected to them.

Even the golden tree was violently waving its branches, with such force that the branches began to break.

Wu Pifu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and slapped it forward. A tremor erupted, and the three small animals and the golden tree simultaneously fainted. Only then did his exaggerated movements stop.

"what are you?"

Wu Pifu scooped up the three small animals and the golden tree bonsai beside him, holding them in one hand while raising his suicide knife in the other. He then glared menacingly at the spot where the remaining pipe had retracted and strode after it.

Whatever it is...

It's doomed!
