Eternal Night

Chapter 845 Primordial Evil Object
According to these five individuals with prophetic abilities, they had already foreseen that Wu Pifu would come looking for them, although they didn't know what Wu Pifu was...

"You bastards are the real scum! Asking for help and then cursing like that!?" Wu Pifu cursed.

...But they knew Wu Pifu was dangerous, and prophesying for him would also be dangerous; the worst-case scenario would be death or losing all Nen abilities and becoming a cripple.

So after they learned of the prophecy, they immediately fled, determined not to let Wu Pifu find them, even if it meant their lives.

"Then why are you still jumping out now?" Wu Pifu said dejectedly.

"Because... if the world is destroyed, not only will we die, but our family, friends, and everything we know will be gone. Rather than that, it would be better for us to sacrifice ourselves."

These were the answers from the five prophets, and these answers only made Wu Pifu more depressed.

It makes him seem like a villain.

Wu Pifu said with a headache, "You mean this earthquake wasn't ordinary, right? Then who caused it?"

The prophets remained silent for a long while before one of them said, “We don’t know. We really don’t know, because this earthquake shouldn’t have happened in our prophecies at all. But it happened, and then we saw the destruction of heaven and earth. A cataclysm from the most ancient times erupted, sweeping away everything and reshaping everything… All things are to be reshaped according to their existence.”

"...Them? Reshape everything? Okay, I get it."

Wu Pifu was practically jumping out of his throat, beyond saving. "Just wait to die," came Bian Que's three-part farewell.

This description sounds like the root cause, doesn't it?
Heaven and earth are destroyed, a cataclysmic event erupts, sweeping away everything and reshaping everything. All things are reshaped according to their existence; this is the unique infinite cycle of the Origin.

What? He came to the Ancient Insect Realm to learn a Nen ability, and not to mention all the twists and turns, he needs to destroy a Root just to learn such an extraordinary path, right?
Moreover, this source is quite inexplicable. Isn't it said that there are no sources in transcendent-level great worlds? Isn't the Ancient Insect Realm the oldest transcendent-level great world? How come a source appeared as soon as it arrived?
This is absolutely terrifying!
There are no battlefield conditions, no personal connections, and no reason to fight here. How can he possibly fight the root cause?
Yes, yes, the people in this world are innocent, but firstly, he didn't cause this problem, and secondly, apart from a few people, he's not a saint. It doesn't make sense for him to risk his life for strangers when he can't even survive himself.
As I said before, I'm sorry, but he was powerless to help, because he was just a worm struggling in this world.

So Wu Pifu choked and remained silent for at least a minute.

The five prophets remained silent as well.

"...Why don't you continue to persuade me to stay and fight?" Wu Pifu suddenly asked.

One of the prophets said, “Because we have seen the scene of you staying, and you did not stay for profit or to obtain our prophecy, but because you wanted to stay.”

"...Why would I be willing?"

As Wu Pifu said this, he looked up at the sky and saw Kurapika, Jin, Xiao Jie, and others rushing out of the hotel.

"because……"

"...We will die after we make the prophecy about what you want..."

"...This is why we're avoiding you..."

"...But we are now willing to die for others..."

"...You simply didn't want to betray the will of those who were going to their deaths."

The five prophets each recited a sentence from the text, which confirmed to Wu Pifu that they could indeed deliver prophecies for him, and that they might have actually witnessed his battle.

"So...sometimes I really hate this part of my personality, this boasting, this desire to be a good person..."

Wu Pifu crushed five cell phones. He smiled at Kura, who was running towards him from a distance. Then, the Suicide Blade stuck in the air off the coast of Liushang Island turned into a streak of light and was caught in Wu Pifu's hand. The next moment, he was already 10,000 meters in the air.

At that moment, the chirping bird perched on his shoulder chirped softly twice in his ear.

"...No, it's just that they looked so pitiful."

Wu Pifu blushed slightly, muttered something, and then grumbled that he wasn't some pushover or a show-off, it was just a coincidence every time. Daphne, on the other hand, let out a barking laugh, and even the golden tree bonsai tried to cover Wu Pifu's arm with its branches as a form of comfort, filling the air with a cheerful atmosphere.

Only Beelzebub remained silent until Wu Pifu was about to move in the direction she sensed, at which point she said, "I have a bad feeling, Wu Pifu, really..."

Wu Pifu paused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Beelzebub said, “This is the Ancient Insect Realm, the most ancient transcendent-level Great World, a forbidden zone of the Root. In history, apart from the First Immortal who succeeded, it is impossible for a transcendent-level Great World of this level to be invaded by the Root… So how could the Root appear here? I suspect it is something else, but if something else has obtained the description of the Root, then the situation is even more bad.”

Wu Pifu didn't immediately know what exactly was wrong, but once he was standing in the sky, he did feel a strong sense of unease. He paused for a moment and said, "Let's see what it is first!"

As he spoke, Wu Pifu did not immediately flee, because his current flying speed was only 25,000 meters per second. If it were on Earth, or in the human world of Hu Zhong, this speed would naturally be sufficient. However, when the scope is converted to a world as vast and terrifying as the Ancient Insect Realm, this flying speed is like an ant crawling. It took him more than ten days to come from the Ancient Insect Realm Forest to Lake Möbius. Now, he cannot possibly spend more than ten or dozens of days just to "see" who the enemy is.

However, this distance posed no challenge to him. He stood focused, his spiritual energy surging from his body. With a thought, the spiritual energy gradually solidified into a diamond shape in front of him, transforming into a semi-transparent diamond-shaped passage extending forward. He then plunged into this passage, which rapidly extended forward with him, its speed skyrocketing—50,000 meters per second, 100,000 meters per second, 1 million meters per second, 10 million meters per second…

Nen ability, faster-than-light portal!

Beelzebub exclaimed, "My goodness, your extraordinary pathway is really useful, almost omnipotent. You can create any ability you want at will. Your memory capacity is already limitless... What a pity."

(...What a pity, otherwise at least the means to create special Nen abilities at any time could have been preserved?)

Wu Pifu pointed to his head expressionlessly and said, "At the same time, thoughts that don't belong to me also surfaced in my mind. They also had no source. After they surfaced, they wanted to quickly cover up my own thoughts. If the being that set up the Thunder Pool and the word 'God' is indeed an enemy, then He is very afraid of the oath I am about to make."

Beelzebub was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

She didn't want to mislead Wu Pifu's judgment.

At this moment, the group had left the extremely remote area of ​​the human world in the lake and ventured deep into the dark continent. This land was boundless and vast, and even at a height of tens of thousands of meters in the sky, the boundary could not be seen. At this moment, when Wu Pifu stepped out of the faster-than-light thought space, he suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, and a chill from the depths of his soul appeared. However, even if he tried to feel it carefully, he could not find the source of the chill.

Not only him, but also Chuchu, Beelzebub, Daphne, and Golden Tree Bonsai all seemed to freeze instantly, as if their souls were being pulled out. Wu Pifu immediately threw himself out and activated the Pokémon System. Only then did the three little animals and Golden Tree Bonsai recover.

(...If I set such a restriction, wouldn't I lose even the special abilities of the Pokémon System? How would I protect them then?)

Wu Pifu remained silent and unwavering, his gaze fixed intently on the earth.

All I saw was a vast expanse of darkness, but nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

"How strange... The feeling definitely comes from here, but I haven't found any enemies," Wu Pifu said, puzzled.

Beelzebub was also observing her surroundings. She said, "The self-enclosed loop of the root... no, the self-enclosed loop is when you don't even have any feelings. It's really strange."

Wu Pifu paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the sky and asked, "Is there a limit to the sky in the ancient insect realm?"

Beelzebub was taken aback and said, "I don't know, I've lost a lot of my memories..."

In the next instant, Wu Pifu activated his faster-than-light telekinetic ability again, shooting straight into the sky until he reached an altitude he didn't even know. Then, looking down, he saw the enemy...

It was enormous, so enormous that he couldn't describe it. It was a giant reptile, so huge that he couldn't even tell what it was. It was pitch black and crawled on the ground. It was as huge as an unparalleled supercontinent!
He had witnessed the immense size of the Root, but that was a condensed version of all the information from the Root's infinite loop. He had also killed its original form during the battle at the Silver Heart, but its original form was not as large as this colossal reptile.

What...what is this thing?!
At this moment, Beelzebub said in a trembling voice, "Too, too..."

"Accumulating power, accumulating life force, devouring souls and true spirits, an unparalleled, ancient sublimation body, accumulating and accumulating... until finally, its essence will become something that is neither a sublimation body nor the origin, due to the struggle between the source of pollution and reality, and the changes of its own overly long life..."

"Primordial evil!"
