Eternal Night

Chapter 844 Earthquakes and Prophecies
Vows and constraints are the core of the extraordinary path of mindfulness!
Although the extraordinary path involves the physical body, mental consciousness, and soul, which is extremely rare in the entire dream world, its essence has a huge hidden danger.

Overload!
Now that Wu Pifu has started to think, he understands what it means to be overloaded with thoughts.

Weak Nen users don't have this problem because it takes them most of their lives to develop even the Nen ability they dream of. To bring their skills and developed Nen abilities to their peak, they need to spend their entire lives honing them.

However, once the intensity of Nen transcendence exceeds a certain critical point, then Nen overload will become a fatal hidden danger.

The so-called "overload of thought" is actually just a runaway imagination!
To put it simply, this is how it works: when the intensity of your Nen reaches a certain critical point, even though your Nen memory capacity is full, the Nen abilities you have developed will continue to grow stronger as your Nen intensity increases. Your Nen abilities will also undergo many changes, and the biggest influence on them is your imagination, or any thought, idea, or even unintentional distractions or random thoughts in your mind. These can all affect your Nen abilities, causing them to undergo very strange changes.

If Nen abilities become ineffective or weakened, the harm is not too great. However, if the developed Nen abilities unfold in strange ways or their effects become insanely stronger, it can lead to death or mutation of the user and others. This is the truth behind Nen overload.

Even the slightest distracting thought could cause Nen abilities to go berserk!

Perhaps the Nen users in Lake Möbius used oaths and restrictions as a means to improve the rules and strength of their Nen abilities. However, Wu Pifu, who had experienced several disasters, knew that the purpose of oaths and restrictions was likely not to improve the rules and strength of Nen abilities, but to restrict the rules and strength of Nen abilities too much and too strong!
Wu Pifu is now very likely to cause Nen overload because he can turn Nen into Nen ability just by relying on his imagination, which is very dangerous.

I believe that after hundreds or thousands of years, King and Kurapika, along with the other sixty-five people, will gradually come to realize this fact. At that time, they will begin to use oaths and constraints to limit Nen abilities, rather than using oaths and constraints to strengthen Nen abilities.

However… Wu Pifu discovered that he didn’t need to use oaths and constraints to limit the strength of his Nen ability. Instead, he could actually use oaths to confirm conditions and constraints to pay the price, just like the Nen users in Lake Möbius, in order to obtain Nen abilities that transcended logic.

Because there is absolutely no possibility of him being overloaded!

After countless iterations, his personality, which exists in a posture most adapted to negativity, can almost completely control the thoughts he emits to his Nen abilities. It is accurate, flawless, and unaffected by any distracting thoughts. If he doesn't confirm it, that's fine, but once he does, it is almost 100% possible to anchor the Nen ability's dispersion.

That's why he can push the Nen abilities he wants to develop to their limits.

"The key issue now is that I'm still a little hesitant about the vows I want to keep."

The next day, Wu Pifu got up very early. Looking at the three little animals and the golden tree bonsai, who were now full of energy, he took them to have breakfast. While eating, he said these words.

Beelzebub lay on a plate of soup, slurping as he spoke, “Take your time. According to your plan, this will be the core anchor for your ascension and the core of your future battles. The more detailed, rigorous, and tailored to you, the better. After all, the price has been so high. If there are any flaws, you won’t even be able to cry. Think about it slowly, there’s no rush.”

Chirp chirped, Daphne barked, and as for the golden tree... it was frantically whipping Wu Pifu with its branches while churning out the soy milk-covered soil that had fallen into her pot.

Wu Pifu thought about it and realized that made sense.

He really needed to think it over carefully. Although the Nen users in the Ancient Insect Realm were all good-looking, his son Zhi seemed to be even better. He had received a call from Zhi's main brain, so he might already be waiting in the Land of Redemption. Once he returned, he would immediately have a super external brain, which would indeed be a great convenience.

"also."

Wu Pifu said, "Let's go back after breakfast. Things here are almost done. Kurapika has been taught, and Nen ability has been acquired... Except for the prophecy, everything else seems to be completed. I'm too lazy to wait for the prophecy, let's go."

Speaking of those with prophetic abilities, Wu Pifu was furious.

After he arrived in this human world in the lake, apart from Kurapika who accompanied him and the rotating Nen users, the sixty-five surviving Nen users did their best to find a prophetic Nen user for him.

However, firstly, the number of prophetic Nen users is scarce, and secondly, for some unknown reason, all the prophetic Nen users brought to Liushang Island by them were unable to predict their future. And supposedly, some very powerful and famous prophetic Nen users... have all disappeared!
That's right!

These prophetic Nen users seemed to have foreseen his existence, as they all hid in advance. It is said that the world's top five prophetic Nen users are all untraceable, disappearing without a trace. Even the most skilled Nen users in tracking cannot find any trace of them, as if they have vanished into thin air.

That's really contradictory.

The weak Nen users who could foresee his future were unable to do so, while those who could foresee his future all went into hiding because they had foreseen his arrival in the future.

He's a human, not a tiger. He won't eat people. He's just asking for a prophecy about the future. Why is he hiding?
So he decided to let it go and not force it. If it really didn't work out, he could just wait until the Holy Grail was fully charged and then make a wish with it. After all, it was in an inert state and didn't seem to have any other uses besides healing.

Having made his decision, Wu Pifu didn't hesitate for a moment. He enjoyed a delicious breakfast, feeling refreshed, and even took a bath. Then, taking his three small animals, the golden tree bonsai, and the Thunder Pool with him, he pulled out the Dream Compass and said, "Mastermind, take us..."

Suddenly, the entire building began to shake violently. Wu Pifu was slightly taken aback and immediately stopped speaking. He stomped his foot, and the shaking of the entire building stopped instantly. However, Wu Pifu only frowned and immediately jumped out of the window. What he saw was that the entire Liushang Island was shaking, and even the surrounding sea was shaking.

An earthquake struck, and a very strong one at that, at least magnitude eight. Seeing this, Wu Pifu naturally couldn't return immediately. He landed from mid-air, placing his palms firmly on the ground. All his power, all his inner strength, all his domineering aura, all his mental energy, and the control derived from his ultimate level of indestructible divine power all erupted at that moment. With his outburst, the shaking of the entire island gradually subsided, and even the surrounding sea gradually returned to calm.

However, Wu Pifu's expression did not improve much.

Because he sensed from the earth that the earthquake was not limited to this island or the surrounding sea, but rather that the entire earth seemed to be trembling.

This could very well be a mega-earthquake affecting all human-inhabited land around Lake Möbius, almost comparable to a global earthquake in Earth's history.

However, Wu Pifu thought about it again and realized that the ancient insect world was unusually large, so it was reasonable that the earthquake range was also unusually large.

However, in this way, he can only save this island at most. He is powerless to save other human lands. He is not powerful enough to smash the earth with a single blow. To save the human world in the lake, he would need to exert at least that much effort.

A moment later, the earthquake stopped, and Wu Pifu stood up. He looked around and, because he had acted in time, not a single building on the entire island had collapsed, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Let's go then."

Wu Pifu shook his head slightly. He picked up the Dream Compass again, intending to make a call to the mastermind, but at that moment, several people not far from him simultaneously raised their phones and shouted, "Who is Wu Pifu? I have your call."

"What!?"

Wu Pifu finally lost his temper and shouted, "Who are you? Do you have my phone number?"

Several people were holding up their phones, and one of them shouted, "Hurry up, answer mine first!"

"No, take mine, take mine!"

When they saw Wu Pifu reply, they all grabbed their phones and ran frantically toward him.

"...What? They'll give you 10 billion Jini just for answering a phone call?" Wu Pifu was completely stunned. This was the request he received from the people on the phone. The first person to answer Wu Pifu's call would give him 10 billion Jini directly. The key point was that they had already transferred 10 million Jini to them at the beginning of the call, so this was no longer a scam.

Wu Pifu was puzzled. He casually took the phone from the fastest runner and asked directly, "Who is it? Spending so much money?"

The person on the other end of the phone cried out, "Mr. Wu, please don't leave this world! I am one of the prophetic Nen users you are looking for. I am willing to make a prophecy for you. Please save our world!"

"What?"

Wu Pifu was even more confused; he couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all.

At this moment, the others also ran over, but their faces showed disappointment and even despair. Unexpectedly, Wu Pifu reached out and grabbed their phones.

"You're a prophet too? Oh, third in the world?"

"You too? That old woman who's ranked number one in the world?"

"And you? Fourth in the world?"

After asking around, Wu Pifu discovered that the call was from one of the world's top five most famous prophets, who were also among the earliest prophets to disappear.

Wu Pifu paused for a moment, then held up all five phones and asked simultaneously, "If I leave this world, will this world be destroyed? Tell the truth."

The five people on the other end of the phone were silent for a moment, then they all said no at the same time.

The world's number one prophetic telepath said, "An unimaginable catastrophe has struck our world. It has awakened and is heading towards Lake Möbius, and you..."

"They are the only ones who can save us!"
