Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

Chapter 145 What if the eternal night never comes?

Let's leave other people's business aside for now.

The world of eternal night.

In the library on the third floor of the Shadow Spire.

Li Wu Hui closed the book.

The book cover bears the large characters: "[The Travelling Monk's World Travelogue]".

"So that's how it is. Most of the humanoid monsters in the Eternal Night World's End Era were indeed corrupted and degenerated from the citizens of ancient civilizations."

"Furthermore, the Dharma-ending Age has already descended many times, each time causing a great calamity in the world. The first time, it caused the heavens to collapse into one great world; the second time, it caused all races and gods to be at odds; the third time, it drove the gods mad, causing them to turn against and slaughter all living beings without regard for faith... The records of many subsequent great calamities have been lost."

"But during the last great calamity of the Dharma's decline, this knowledgeable Planeswalker speculated that what was most likely lost was a star in the sky—a star countless times brighter than the silver moon!"

"It should have been the foundation upon which all living things grow and thrive, but even it has disappeared, yet the world has not been destroyed."

"Of course, it's not far off. In today's world, there are almost no truly intelligent beings left; they're all monsters! They're alive, but they're far removed from civilization!"

"Perhaps, the next great calamity of the Dharma's end will be an eternal, lifeless burial where everything is buried!"

Li Wu Hui this month.

Extremely diligent.

He organized the materials collected by the library into a plan and found that there was more material than he had imagined. Even if he could read ten lines at a glance and read two pages per second, he still couldn't finish reading it.

In order to avoid the information collected by Xu Yuan being wasted.

He voluntarily increased the time he spent each day studying historical materials on his own.

In addition to spending an hour or two each day learning about the various changes in reality and the eternal night world.

After that, he spent more than 22 hours a day in the library of Shadow Spire, looking at the information he had obtained from the many ancient civilization relics during the 50 years of making his wish.

Among them, many ancient civilizations' data and historical interpretations are contradictory.

Li Wu Hui didn't pay much attention to it. He memorized them all first, and when he read further, he found more detailed records from other civilizations. By cross-referencing them, he could easily discover which historical interpretations were more reliable.

Finally, a relatively detailed historical truth was obtained.

That is, the words he just summarized.

Not all of it consists of the traveler's world experiences.

In other words, during the last great calamity of the end times, it is very likely that even the sun was destroyed.

Even if one becomes a god in the world of eternal night, if one cannot prevent the next great calamity of the end of Dharma, one will likely find oneself in a precarious situation!

"Even a god, seemingly invincible and awe-inspiring to all living beings."

"They're actually struggling to survive!"

Li Wu Hui sighed.

After reviewing these historical materials...

His temperament has undergone a tremendous change without him even realizing it.

To investigate the relationship between heaven and humanity, and to understand the changes throughout history.

It turns out that the threat from the gods is not the whole story.

Originally, because he had witnessed the wrath of God in his wish, the fear of the gods had been weighing heavily on his heart.

Now, that feeling of oppression has finally dissipated.

Even gods are just like them, struggling to survive.

What's there to be afraid of when we're in the same situation?

Li Wu Hui's consciousness relaxed.

The previously dormant notifications started popping up continuously.

A new day has begun.

[00:05, Friday, April 19]

Survival in the Eternal Night

Welcome back!

The only monster player

Please note that you are different from other survivor players; you only have one life.

[...]

]

[Last month's self-discipline task: Six hours of studying valuable history every day. Completed. Now you can make a wish.]

[Thirty days of self-discipline completed, task accomplished, wish can be made now]

The limit of your desires is what you can achieve in your entire life.

[This month's self-discipline task: Protect your world with all your might every day for a month. You can make a wish afterward.]

[10 days until eternal night becomes a reality]

[Please note: This is a secret known only to monster players and cannot be revealed to others.]

Hopefully, by then, you will be the hunter, not the prey.

[...]

..

"Protect my world?"

"Fine, fine! So this is how you use Haki's wish-granting magic, huh?"

Li Wu Hui's extraordinary mind is now working incredibly fast.

It was just a fleeting moment when I saw this month's self-discipline tasks.

He knew things wouldn't be easy.

There's a saying that goes something like that.

With great power comes great responsibility!

However, this statement must be accompanied by a premise: the more you know, the more responsibility you will bear.

If you are extremely ignorant.

No matter how powerful you are, you may not know how to fulfill your responsibilities.

That way, you can live a relatively easy life.

Unfortunately, Li Wu Hui could not do such an easy thing.

In order not to waste the information gained from making a wish.

He spent a whole month reading through all the historical materials of the ancient civilization spanning fifty years, and realized that even gods were not a real threat.

They were just trying to survive in the hands of the gods.

That's not enough at all!

"Originally, I just wanted to make a wish, to know how to live well in the days to come."

"And yet, you're asking me to protect my world?"

"Hahaha, great, that's very well said!"

"Even though there are only ten days left."

"But I can manage to abstain from beef in real life, so why can't I even have the thought of protecting my blue planet!"

"I've never been that cowardly!"

Li Wu Hui cursed and swore to encourage himself.

However, he was stunned by a single word he uttered.

Wait, reality?

I don't eat beef in real life, I'm all alone!

But that's not the most important thing.

The key is.

My first wish was to receive seven million dollars and work for the rest of my life to earn it.

And in that wish.

The world of eternal night did not descend!

Even if you make another wish after ten days, when the eternal night truly descends, you probably won't be able to access the worldline where the eternal night didn't arrive.

But now, before the Blood Moon God appears.

Li Wu Hui has one more chance.

Obtain a worldline where the eternal night has not descended!

But what good is that?

Of course it's useful!

It's extremely useful!

Li Wu Hui thought of a new special skill he had acquired, one that he had previously thought was useless.

Infinite Charge: After using the skill, you cannot engage in strenuous activity. You can only walk within a range of one meter per second. Every hour, you can inject all your energy into this skill once. As long as you can recover, you can inject energy infinitely until you decide to unleash the attack.

As long as you charge up for long enough, the power of the next attack can be infinitely stacked!

Even if Li Wu Hui's power is halved in reality, it doesn't matter.

The defeated monsters of the end times are beings that have already died once.

It's hard to say whether his lifespan will end.

Even if there is an end, it is far longer than human imagination.

After all, Li Wu Hui had spent fifty years in the Eternal Night World without feeling any weakness, nor had he ever seen any weak defeated monster die of old age!

In addition, there's the hidden artifact, the Watcher's Bow, which guarantees a hit and always deals effective damage.

All the conditions for victory have been met!

"I will endure a lifetime of hardship in reality, to accumulate the strength for the decisive blow that will slay the true god!"

"With the watchful bow, this strike will not miss."

"Only one thing remains."

"Promoted to King of Hidden Monsters".

"To further increase our chances of success!"
