Eternal Night

Chapter 963 Everyone, hold on for now, I'm going to call for backup!
(PS: My depression really flared up. I guess it's because of yesterday's news. I had nightmares all night... I was so depressed that I didn't want to do anything, so I just started writing... That'll be one update. I don't know anything else, so don't expect anything else.)
"Aside from the Supreme Immortals, the Heavenly Court's external wars actually have three levels. The first level is the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, as well as the Divine Generals and Celestial Masters who command them. This is the Heavenly Court's largest combat unit. It is already quite remarkable for the Dream World Civilization to mobilize at this level."

"The so-called 100,000 to 1 million Heavenly Soldiers are, in the eyes of other civilizations, 100,000 to 1 million other civilizations’ genius-level superhumans. This is actually a very terrifying power. According to your Gaia human civilization, it is 100,000 to 1 million three-title Night Watchers. However, your titles are much more mysterious. Other superhuman powers are far inferior to Heavenly Soldiers, not to mention Heavenly Generals, who are superhumans close to the Ascension Body. As for Divine Generals and Celestial Masters, they are all Ascension Body."

Daiyu, the goddess, has become a visiting professor to the Gaia humans, certified by the main brain, similar to the foreign worship of other civilizations.

Although it is a foreign civilization, it is still in human form and appearance, and has been certified by the main brain. Some people also vaguely know that the goddess Daiyu is related to Wu Pifu, one of the three pillars of humanity, so they naturally feel at ease with her and give her courtesy and status, as well as a monthly real (points) quota.

The goddess Daiyu was explaining information about the Heavenly Court to the high-ranking members of the Gaia humans and the Night Watchers.

"Don't think this is an exaggeration. I was also hunted down by the Heavenly Court back then, especially the True Martial Civilization, which was defeated by the Heavenly Court at its peak. So, in the eras that followed, I have been collecting information about the Heavenly Court Civilization. This strongest ancient civilization has an incredibly profound foundation. Because it has the power to suppress the destiny of a transcendent world (extraordinary), it is not troubled by the pull of nothingness or loss. There are countless extraordinary beings within it, millions of heavenly soldiers and generals, hundreds of thousands of sublimated bodies, and at least one or two hundred root beings. This also shows how powerful Brother Ant is. He single-handedly destroyed half of the Heavenly Court's foundation!"

At this point, Daiyu blushed, feeling proud.

The Gaia humans around him all wore awkward expressions, especially some of the veteran Night Watchers who had been in contact with Wu Pifu. They knew that Wu Pifu was a man who adhered to the principle of a harem. He had petite women, lolis, dogs, and big-breasted women; he had a real flair for women. And now, he had even brought along a goddess like Daiyu. This was simply unbelievable…

That's so enviable!
At this moment, a night watchman muttered with a worried expression, "But Mr. Wu Pifu may already be..."

A wave of pressure descended from nowhere, thankfully it was just a deterrent and not particularly malicious, but it still made the muttering watchman tense up and break out in a cold sweat. Daiyu, the goddess, said coldly, "Who is Brother Ant? How could he be harmed by such petty villains? Watch your words!"

The watchmen all bowed their heads and dared not speak.

After calming herself down, the goddess Daiyu continued, "The first-level regular combat units of the Heavenly Court are generally used for the conquest of most civilizations in the Dream World, including plunder, cleansing, retaliation, deterrence, and so on. For example, if a Celestial Master is killed while traveling, the Thunder Department of the five departments of the Heavenly Court will take action first, and the first-level regular combat units will also be dispatched. Basically, most civilizations will be cleansed and annihilated at this stage."

"The second-tier combat units of the Heavenly Court include the highest-level automated units of the five departments of the Heavenly Court, as well as the top beings among the Heavenly Masters and Divine Generals. They are usually led by multiple awakened Emperor-level beings, accompanied by more than 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Generally speaking, 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals form a combat army group, led by an Emperor-level being. Three to five armies go on the expedition at the same time. The True Martial Civilization was besieged by five armies. At the same time, the Eastern Azure Flower Emperor personally attacked the True Martial Ancestor, which is why the True Martial Civilization was defeated and the True Martial Ancestor was transformed into the True Martial Emperor."

Daiyu, the goddess, spoke of it in an ordinary way, and the Gaia humans were completely unaware of it, but in fact, it was an honor.

In the entire Dream World, there might not be even one civilization in a hundred eras that warrants the Heavenly Court deploying a second-tier combat unit. Generally speaking, the entire foundation of an ancient civilization is equivalent to, or even less than, the strength of a second-tier combat unit of the Heavenly Court. Moreover, the True Martial Civilization even had the Eastern Azure Emperor personally take action, which made many Dream World civilizations realize that the True Martial Civilization was truly extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the human civilization of Gaia was completely unaware of this, and Daiyu's words, which were actually somewhat arrogant, were a way of giving the blind man a hard time.

The goddess Daiyu was somewhat helpless. She composed herself and continued, "As for the Heavenly Court's third-level combat units, in all the intelligence I have collected so far, it has only appeared twice. Once was in the extremely ancient times when the Heavenly Court and Buddhism turned against each other. The Heavenly Court deployed its third-level combat power, and as a result, the Buddhist realm fell into silence, and many Buddhas either perished, fell into slumber, or disappeared without a trace. The Heavenly Court became the undisputed strongest ancient civilization."

"As for the second one, it actually happened not long ago... to be precise, it occurred in the previous era."

Many Gaia humans were taken aback, and someone immediately asked, "But Goddess Daiyu, hasn't the Heavenly Court been asleep for many epochs? And according to the intelligence we've gathered, the Heavenly Court hasn't launched any major wars recently."

"Daiyu Goddess nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's indeed the case on the surface. The activation of the third-level combat units this time actually occurred during the Heavenly Court's slumber. This forced the Heavenly Court to spend a massive amount of real energy to forcibly awaken the Four Emperors and many other Great Emperors, as well as almost the entirety of the Heavenly Court's remaining combat forces. This almost severely damaged the Heavenly Court's vitality, and its real energy reserves were nearly depleted. Moreover, this activation was almost unknown to the outside world. I only learned about it by chance because I was corrupted and polluted by the Eastern Azure Emperor, which gave me a certain perception of the Heavenly Court at the time..."

Then, some Gaia humans whispered to each other, "The last era... the Containment Civilization? But the Containment Civilization wasn't attacked by the Heavenly Court either."

"This is the time to contain civilization!"

Daiyu Goddess stated very clearly: "Although the Heavenly Court did not launch this Level 3 war against the Containment Civilization, it was actually an aftermath of the Containment Civilization's actions... The Containment Civilization carried out a plan called 'Abyss Fishing,' inventing a bizarre plan to contain the source of pollution. This resulted in a major event that should have directly destroyed countless dream world civilizations, including the Containment Civilization, and even affected the entire underlying structure of the dream world, including the Absolute Reality Layer. However, before this major event broke out, the Heavenly Court seemed to have known about it in advance and directly launched a Level 3 combat unit. Without the outside world knowing, this force fought fiercely against an unknown enemy in an unknown place. Therefore, the Abyss Fishing plan failed, but the Containment Civilization still has remnants remaining. Even the Containment Civilization itself was unaware of such a massive war."

Everyone was startled. Although they were somewhat skeptical, they had no choice but to believe it when they saw Daiyu's serious expression.

Daiyu Goddess paused for a moment before continuing, "The third-level combat units include the four emperors of the Heavenly Court, numerous Great Emperor Origins, almost all the Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, and Divine Masters. Apart from the five automatic units of the Heavenly Court, which are keeping quiet and protecting the location of the First Immortal, the Heavenly Court has mobilized almost all of its combat power. This is currently the strongest force and the strongest combat power in the Dream World. Before Brother Ant destroyed half of the Heavenly Court's foundation, as far as I know, the Heavenly Court had more than two hundred, even three hundred Origins, nearly three million top-tier extraordinary beings, and nearly one hundred thousand sublimated bodies. Moreover, they all possess 'spiritual treasures' issued by the Heavenly Court. In the entire Dream World, apart from the former Buddhist Sumeru Realm, no other force is even one-tenth stronger than this power... Even if all the other ancient civilizations were added together, they might not reach half the strength of this force."

Everyone present fell silent. After a long while, someone asked, "Daiyu, what about the Heavenly Court's actions against us Gaia humans this time..."

"Third-level combat status!"

Without hesitation, the goddess Daiyu said, "The civilization that Brother Ant belongs to can only go all out. Your civilization is very special. I strongly suspect that you are the absolutely real civilization, the civilization in the prophecy. So... go all out, Gaia humans. You only have this one chance. If you don't win, you can only die. The Heavenly Court will not let any of you go!" The hundreds of Night Watchers here all had extremely solemn expressions.

They were no longer novices; they naturally understood the significance of the three: top-tier extraordinary beings, sublimated bodies, and origins.

At this moment, someone said, "We still have the super brain! President Chu Minghao and Mr. Liang Min are both undergoing sublimation. Once they finish sublimating, we will definitely win!"

The people present then relaxed slightly.

Although the Heavenly Court is terrifying, yes, they have a super brain!

Long before the Gaia civilization even entered the dream world, the superbrain had already been mythologized by the Gaia civilization. This was actually the decision made by Chu Minghao, Liang Min, and even Xu Wanfang. Later, with the emergence of the extraordinary, Chu Minghao's performance, Liang Min's performance, and Wu Pifu's godlike performance, this stereotype was undoubtedly reinforced.

Super Brain Invincible VS Invincible Heavenly Court!

Daiyu hesitated, but considering that Wu Pifu was also one of Gaia's human superbrains, even she had some reservations.

Just then, at the far end of this radiant plain, distorted orbs of light appeared. Daiyu Divine Venerable immediately shouted, "Each of you stand at your designated pivot point! Do not step out, even if it means death!"

That's natural. Some even shouted, "If you die, you're considered to have sacrificed yourself for your clan and civilization. But if you step out of here, you can forget about ever holding your head high again!"

"Death together!"

"My wife and children died in the fierce battle, so it's not a bad thing to die now!"

"Gentlemen, out of the 108 key units, I'll take my place first!"

The numerous Gaia humans on night watch shouted loudly and fearlessly stood around the goddess Daiyu.

Daiyu, the Divine Venerable, focused her mind and waited, as the aura of the third level of the ultimate realm of the sublimated body surged from her body.

But at that moment, a voice came from above that almost broke Daiyu's defenses.

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

"Issuing a mission: Goddess Daiyu needs to leave this battlefield for five minutes. During this time, the mainframe will focus on assessing the battlefield, while the remaining Night Watchers will defend against the Heavenly Court's attack."

Daiyu immediately burst into a tirade: "You son of a bitch! What are you? Do you even know what time it is..."

"Wu Pifu has been located, but more causal links are needed to pinpoint its location."

Daiyu, the goddess, fell silent, then ascended into the air, shouting, "Everyone, hold on for now, I'll go get help!"

In an instant, the goddess Daiyu vanished.

Those present: ..."

Then, one by one, heavenly soldiers and generals appeared.
