Eternal Night

Chapter 811 Meeting
Wu Pifu did not immediately venture into the vast ocean.

Indeed, the so-called Lake Möbius, in Wu Pifu's perception, is at least dozens of times, or even more, a super-vast ocean area than the Pacific Ocean.

Size is one aspect, but another is a kind of intuition.

There's a problem with this body of water.

It's not about danger, traps, or anything else, but rather that once he enters this body of water, unless he turns back to leave the water, there's a high probability he'll get lost.

This is a supernatural force.

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

"Unknown information has been detected surrounding Lake Möbius, which exhibits a spiral corridor characteristic and is of a certain intensity. Unless invited by the intelligent and knowledgeable civilization within the lake, it will be extremely difficult to enter."

Wu Pifu didn't quite understand, but he grasped the general meaning: this lake seemed to have a deceptive quality, which was more pronounced the stronger one was. Unless one was invited in by the humans inside, one would always linger on the edge.

However, this explanation does explain why human civilization in this world would hide in this "lake." It's just unknown whether this information maze, which resembles a barrier, was originally there or added by the extraordinary human beings of this world.

To put it simply, there is an invisible wall that prevents overly powerful beings from entering the lake, thus preventing the destruction of humanity in this world.

Otherwise, judging from the twenty-odd extraordinary beings they were raised, a single behemoth with a size of a million meters outside could very well be enough to destroy their entire civilization.

This world is so powerful that even Wu Pifu needs to fight to survive on this boundless land, rather than simply relying on his aura to stop everything.

This situation left Wu Pifu feeling quite helpless.

The three small animals and the golden tree bonsai are temporarily unharmed. The corrosive effect of their death lingering thoughts while they were unconscious has no effect. At the same time, the Pokémon System also has a subtle protective ability for them. However, this destructive force is within their bodies, or rather, their own life force is turning into this force that is destroying them. Therefore, the Pokémon System is not very effective.

Wu Pifu continued to carry Lei Chi and fly along the lake.

If there really is a human civilization in Lake Möbius, what if they grew and expanded, started to explore outwards, and then established a colony on the edge of Lake Möbius to explore the enclave?
As a pure-blooded human, Wu Pifu understood very well that human desires are endless, and these desires manifest as an inability to be confined to one place. Perhaps terrifying disasters and catastrophes caused them to retreat for a time, but with the emergence of a new generation, with the emergence of the most ambitious and curious among humans, they will inevitably expand and explore outwards.

Wu Pifu decided to first circle the entire Möbius Lake to see if there were any traces of human civilization. If so, he would try to sneak into it or find a way to communicate with humans in this world.

As a fellow human being, he felt that language should be able to achieve his goal.

If all else fails, exchanging favors is also an option, such as him achieving some goal for humanity in this world, or exchanging force for entry permits.

In short, once we find humans in this world, there are plenty of ways to reach an agreement with them.

And so, Wu Pifu began to travel along Lake Möbius. Along the way, he encountered many huge monsters and creatures, but they were much smaller than those outside Lake Möbius. After flying for more than two days, he only encountered one small beast that was about 30,000 meters in size. Apart from that, there were mostly tiny beasts and insects with a diameter of about 1,000 meters.

"...So it really isn't attacking me because of this power of worldly thoughts? By focusing it on my eyes, it can see the negative aspects within my sea of ​​consciousness?"

Wu Pifu had tested this many times, and found that most of the wild beasts in this world did not attack him, and would even avoid him when they saw him, even those that were more than ten times his size.

Of course, there are a very few types of beasts in this world that would flock to him. These types of beasts usually carry negative connotations, or use their negative connotations as weapons, similar to the venom secreted by poisonous creatures. These poisonous creatures do not feed on venom, and some even die from their own venom, but it is an important weapon for them. This is also why the giant centipede he encountered earlier kept tracking and attacking him.

In short, this world is incredibly diverse and powerful, truly deserving of its title as the most ancient transcendent world.

He even had some unseen premonition that in the deepest part of this world, there were some extremely terrifying ancient life forms whose strength was no less than that of a powerful sublimated being!

And so, Wu Pifu flew continuously for five days and five nights without stopping even once. Lake Möbius was far larger than he had imagined; even after five days and five nights of flying, he estimated he had only circled about one-fifth of its edge. Finally, on the sixth day, Wu Pifu was exhausted, having flown without a single person to talk to. Although he wasn't tired, this feeling made him somewhat uneasy. Just then, he saw a tiny black dot on the distant horizon, very small, but hovering near the shore.

This gave Wu Pifu a bright idea, and he immediately sped up and rushed straight toward the small black dot.

Meanwhile, at this "small black dot" is a very large luxury ship, shaped like a giant whale, at least five or six times larger than a conventional aircraft carrier.

Six days have passed since the "celestial anomaly," and the planned exploration trip has been delayed because of it, and several bloody battles have even broken out.

This enormous ship came from an island in the central region of Lake Möbius and was an exploration vessel sent by human civilization to the Dark Continent.

Of course, the exploration team on the ship did not come from a single faction, nor were they united. The five strongest nations in this world, and the sixth nation, which was second only to these five nations, came together through various conspiracies, political struggles, compromises, and deals to undertake this exploration mission. In addition to the forces and teams of the 5V nation and the sixth nation, there was also a team belonging to the Hunter faction, an organization of extraordinary individuals in this world, as well as many powerful but smaller civilian teams.

In fact, countless battles took place inside the ship during its voyage, involving politics, military affairs, conspiracies, power struggles, and more.

However, since the exploration ship eventually reached the edge of Lake Möbius, the exploration of the 5V and the sixth countries was inevitable.

Among them, the national exploration forces of 5V country and the sixth country, even though they witnessed the celestial anomaly six days ago, were bound by military orders. These people were basically soldiers from their respective countries, and they had to set off. In the past six days, the forces of 5V country and the sixth country have departed from the ship and headed towards their predetermined desired destination.

However, the remaining supernatural organizations—the Hunter Force and the largest civilian supernatural exploration force—experienced internal conflicts due to the celestial upheaval.

“…Peter Young, that’s terrible, I want to quit.”

A short, bespectacled young man trembled as he said, "This is not the world I wanted to know; it's beyond my wildest imagination."

Peter Young was a tall, burly man with a scarred face, black hair, and a black beard. He had an imposing presence and sat at the very front of the line, drinking silently.

The team consisted of more than a dozen people, both men and women. Judging from their movements, expressions, and physical abilities, they were all extraordinary individuals. In other words, anyone who could reach the edge of Lake Möbius to explore would be extraordinary and would not even be able to pass the "gatekeeper" test.

Peter Young put down his glass and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I've always said that people are free to come and go. Anyone who wants to leave can stay. I will never force anyone. Those who are willing to come can leave, and those who are unwilling can go. If there are no objections, then we will set off at dusk today."

A scruffy-bearded young man sitting next to Peter Young asked, "The goal remains the same, right?"

Peter Young nodded and said, "Yes, the goal remains the same: Nitromi, the longevity food. This is our primary objective, and all subsequent actions can only take shape after we obtain this longevity food."

Five teams away from Peter Young, a blond boy asked, "But the location of the celestial upheaval is in the same direction as the location of the longevity food, which is why many of us are wary... Or should we wait a few more days? What if it's just a terrifying entity passing by, and we set off again after it leaves?"

Peter Young chuckled and said, "How long? Ten days? A hundred days? Or a thousand days? I can't wait any longer!"

A beautiful woman with lifeless eyes standing next to the blond boy suddenly said, "How about we change our target? You've been to the Dark Continent before, and you're the only one among us who returned alive. We also have information from 5V, as well as records of our travels on the continent... With so many possibilities, why don't we change our target?"

Peter Young remained silent, but the unshaven young man beside him said, “No, the reason we chose Nitromi, the longevity food, is because of the disaster that comes with hope… Nitromi can greatly increase the lifespan of all life forms, and this isn't a gradual, long-term effect, but rather a small side effect based on the supply of life force. To put it another way, if we face a powerful enemy, it could very well cause us irreversible damage. With this food, we have hope of healing, and…”

Peter Young picked up the thread, saying, "Besides, the Dark Continent is too vast. The journey from here to Nitromi, the longevity food, will take nine months. And from Nitromi's location to any other place of hope, it takes years… How long can you live? I can maintain my current physical strength and combat power for fifty years, but what about after that? We…"

Suddenly, Peter Young froze, his whole body trembling. A powerful aura erupted from him, but he wasn't the fastest. The bearded youth beside him had already unleashed his full power and disappeared from the room at the same time.

On this ship, all the Nen users whose abilities reached a certain level unleashed their full Nen power almost simultaneously, and then...

Step onto the deck and look out to the horizon!
