Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 673 The Empire's Request for Help, and the Partner of the God of Nightmares...

Cao Xing gently picked up the beauty, and with a soft 'pop', her body trembled slightly.

"Let's go, let's go out and take a look together," Cao Xing said in a low voice.

"Mmm..." Liu Muxue responded sweetly.

She took a few deep breaths to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and her expression returned to calm.

The two quickly got up, dressed, and then put on their respective equipment.

They arrived outside the territory at top speed.

"Whoosh-"

The night was still filled with howling winds, and the temperature reached an astonishing -70°C.

At this moment, it is snowing heavily outside the territory.

Dark clouds overhead completely obscured the moon's light.

Only the lighthouses within the territory still shine.

A hunched figure stood amidst the swirling snow.

It seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, with the snow beneath its feet already reaching above its ankles.

It was the same lame peasant woman from before.

Compared to the last time it came to the territory, when it was surrounded by a large and imposing group of demons, this time it was all alone.

Seemingly sensing Cao Xing's arrival, the lame peasant woman quickly raised her head and stared straight at him.

Cao Xing floated in mid-air and asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"

The lame peasant woman whispered, "The Demon Lord asked me to ask you when you will hand over the corpse of the Seed of Light to us."

"The Lord said: The God of Nightmares has come to this world and is secretly gathering his power. We must act quickly."

It seemed somewhat afraid of Cao Xing, and dared not speak loudly.

In particular, after seeing Liu Muxue next to him, he lowered his head and dared not look at her for more than a second.

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

When the world barrier was breached last time, some of the gods from the Underworld took the opportunity to escape.

However, to Cao Xing's surprise, these deities did not make a big show of themselves after they came out, but instead all chose to lie low.

The same applies to the God of Nightmares.

Cao Xing didn't know much about the God of Nightmares, only that He was a vengeful deity.

I thought this guy would attack me as soon as he came out.

But it seems that Dem is quite patient.

Cao Xing asked, "Does your Demon Lord know Dem's location?"

The lame peasant woman paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know..."

“Then go back and tell him to help me find the location of the Nightmare God, and then I will find a way to summon him.”

Now that he knows Dem has come to this world and has identified him as an enemy, this guy will eventually turn against him.

Cao Xing certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait for the enemy to come knocking on his door.

In the current situation, it is definitely best to strike first.

The lame peasant woman seemed to realize something as well.

The otherworldly lord before us wants to take the initiative and deal with the God of Nightmares!
For a moment, a strong sense of disbelief welled up in my heart.

After all, that was a deity.

Even without divine status, they are still beings beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If it were anyone else, they'd be grateful if the other party didn't cause them any trouble.

He actually went so far as to target him; he's insane!

However, when the lame peasant woman's gaze swept over the territory behind Cao Xing, she vaguely felt a strong sense of oppression.

I seemed to sense many terrifying auras within it.

Each wisp of energy could easily kill it.

As a demon, it couldn't help but swallow hard, a sense of awe rising in its heart.

Perhaps, with the power of this otherworldly lord, he really can contend with the God of Nightmares?

"I...I know..."

"I will convey this to the Demon Lord!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the lame peasant woman turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared from the spot.

They seemed afraid that if they were even a step too slow, they would be left behind by this capricious human lord.

Watching her flee at top speed, Cao Xing smiled and asked, "Why are you running so fast?"

"I have already promised the Demon Lord that I will not harm your demon race."

Seeing the demon leave, Liu Muxue, who was standing nearby, also concealed her legendary aura.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Let's go, Mu Xue, let's go back and rest too."

"Continue with what you were doing earlier."

Upon hearing the last sentence, the legendary Aurora Knight's dignified expression vanished instantly, replaced by an incredibly rosy complexion.

She lowered her head and softly replied, "Mmm..."

The two quickly returned to the lord's castle.

The incident involving the lame peasant woman was just a side story, and Cao Xing didn't take it to heart much.

With Cao Xing's strength, unless the Demon Lord himself arrives, these demons can no longer pose a threat.

Moreover, he is currently in a cooperative relationship with this group of demons.

Currently, Cao Xing is more interested in dealing with the Nightmare God, Dem.

Half an hour later.

On the large bed in the lord's castle, two figures were engaged in close combat.

Liu Muxue's fair arms passed over Cao Xing's shoulders and hugged his neck.

Her beautiful face flushed crimson, and she uttered a low, guttural sound.

"Ah Xing... hold me tight..."

"it is good."

Cao Xing responded softly, then instantly embraced the hot body.

After a fierce struggle, Liu Muxue suddenly opened her eyes wide, and an indescribable emotion appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"嘤——"

With a long sigh, the beauty collapsed limply onto him.

Cao Xing, on the other hand, was holding Liu Muxue, looking up at the ceiling.

The two enjoyed the tranquility after the storm together.

After a moment, Liu Muxue raised her head and said softly, "Oh right, Ah Xing, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"What is it?" Cao Xing asked.

Liu Muxue said, "A survivor sent me a private message a few days ago. The content was fragmented and looked very strange."

"However, after piecing together the information he had, I roughly understood what he meant."

"He said he had something very important to discuss with you and had sent you many private messages, but you hadn't replied to any of them."

"It seems to be related to the human empire as well."

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, as his private chat interface was usually closed.

He rarely checks messages except from his friends.

Otherwise, he would be bombarded with a massive amount of private messages every day, making it impossible for him to do anything else.

However, quite a few people still know that Liu Muxue and he are from the same territory.

Unable to contact Cao Xing, they turned to Liu Muxue instead.

However, such people usually have something truly important to do.

"Is it related to the human empire?"

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then asked, "What's that person's name?"

Liu Muxue glanced at it and replied, "Meng Yi."

Upon hearing the name, Cao Xing racked his brains but couldn't recall any information about him.

I should not have had any contact with this person before.

"I understand, let me check the information."

After saying that, Cao Xing opened the private chat interface.

Among the massive amount of private chat messages, I typed in the name 'Meng Yi'.

In an instant, only seven messages remained from the large amount of information.

These seven messages are all rather strange; they are all sent at the same time every day, even at the same second.

Cao Xing opened these messages one by one.

A moment later, his brows furrowed slightly.

7 days ago, at 00:00.

Meng Yi: "Cao... I'm... in the center of the Western Continent... save me..."

6 days ago, at 00:00.

Meng Yi: "We are all... trapped in a dream... Only I... am briefly awake..."

5 days ago, at 00:00.

Meng Yi: "The ancient dragon Dream Morpheus... arrived in the Western Continent... In my dream... I saw some strange scenes..."

Meng Yi: "I woke up again... I saw three giant dragons gathered together... and then... one of the dragons fell..."

Meng Yi: "Today's dream... was very strange... I saw the entire Western Continent... shrouded in a special power... those ancient territories were all destroyed..."

Meng Yi: "The Human Empire is on the verge of collapse... Please help... to break free from this dream..."

……

After reading the seven messages Meng Yi had sent, Cao Xing's brows furrowed deeply.

Although his words were somewhat disjointed, I could still roughly understand the meaning and summarized a few points.

1: The human empire is shrouded in the power of another ancient dragon, the Monsis, and all the powerful beings and survivors are trapped in a dream.

2: Everyone else is unable to escape the dream, but Meng Yi is special; he can wake up at a specific time every day.

3: He saw some unusual things in his dream, including a scene of three giant dragons gathering and one of them falling.

Thinking about this, Cao Xing couldn't help but recall his previous guesses.

"Did the fall of that giant dragon foreshadow Droma's death?"

"So the other two dragons are the Death Dragon and the Dream Dragon?" Clearly, the situation is becoming increasingly complicated.

After all, before this, the six ancient dragons were basically in their own territories and would not easily move their positions.

However, based on previous clues, Cao Xing deduced that the Death Dragon might be moving from the Northern Continent to the Western Continent.

Two ancient dragons will gather on this continent.

That's already a headache enough.

Now, there's another dream dragon.

Then, there is the information in the next two paragraphs of Meng Yi's speech.

One of the theories states that the western continent will be shrouded in a special force, and the ancient territories in the center of the continent will be destroyed, including the human empire, which will soon be unable to withstand it.

He wanted Cao Xing to go and dispel Monsis's dream.

However, faced with such a request, Cao Xing said speechlessly, "Damn it... it's no use asking me for help with a dragon of this true god level."

Liu Muxue, who was standing next to Cao Xing, seemed to notice the worry on Cao Xing's face and asked softly, "Xing, what happened?"

Cao Xing initially wanted to say it was nothing, but when he thought about his relationship with Liu Muxue, he felt there was no need to hide anything.

Moreover, this woman is very adaptable and has a very clear mind.

Many times, different opinions are put forward.

So Cao Xing presented the information Meng Yi had sent, along with his conjectures.

After listening, Liu Muxue also realized the complexity of the situation.

"Another ancient dragon? Even the human empire is trapped by the power of this dragon..."

Liu Muxue lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Meng Yi must have seen the previous live broadcast and knows that there are several legendary experts in our territory, so he wants you to help him."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, but we can't control this matter."

"The Empire has far more powerful figures than we do. According to the old king, during the Blood Rebellion a thousand years ago, they even deployed more than one demigod to defeat Luo and the Blood Legion."

"If even such a powerful force is helpless, then we are even more helpless."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly; she knew that what Cao Xing said was true.

Although they are already among the top survivors in the world.

But there are many beings in this world that are more powerful and terrifying than them.

Even a god as powerful as him can die, let alone a few legends.

At this moment, Liu Muxue seemed to have thought of something, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes: "A-Xing, the recent events seem to be connected in some way, or rather, they are some kind of omen."

"We first made contact with the Resurrection Army. According to you, the Death Dragon may be moving towards the Western Continent."

"Could the upcoming 'Dream Fragment' event be related to the Dream Dragon?"

After listening to her analysis, Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded and said, "That makes sense... The system wouldn't launch some strange activities for no reason."

"Since entering this world, almost every activity has been connected with this world in some way."

"Perhaps this is also to let us get used to the power of the Dream Dragon in advance."

After reaching this conclusion, the two fell into deep thought once again.

As time goes by, and with our understanding of the world...

One after another, ancient dragons emerged, and ancient gods also appeared.

No one knows how many secrets this world still holds.

After a moment, Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Go to sleep first, Mu Xue. We can talk about these things later."

"Okay," the beautiful woman beside me replied obediently.

Then, the two fell asleep in each other's arms...

Snowflakes were falling heavily outside, and a chilling night wind howled past.

The room is heated 24 hours a day, making the environment extremely comfortable.

Before long, drowsiness washed over me like a tidal wave.

However, before falling asleep, Cao Xing still replied to Meng Yi with a message.

...

...

Late at night, when the whole world has fallen asleep.

A hunter wearing a coat and carrying a wooden bow stood silently in the heavy snow.

Behind him, a large group of people knelt, their faces pale but their eyes filled with fanaticism.

They murmured softly, their voices unified and devout:
"Listen to the echoes, return to the origins..."

"The echo never fades, the faith never dies..."

"Echoes are the whispers of the gods, the guidance of destiny..."

The hunter watched them, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“Very good, the Echo Temple has finally gained its first batch of fanatics.”

"Next, all I need to do is have them worship day and night and continuously contribute their faith, and one day I will be able to re-form my divine status."

"Ascend to the divine position once more!"

Thinking of this, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"However... the faith power provided by these believers is still too little, and we still need to recruit more believers."

"But it's not suitable for a large-scale operation right now; I need to conserve more strength..."

"Otherwise, we might be targeted by those guys."

With that in mind, the hunter's gaze fell upon another small mountain village a dozen kilometers away.

...

...

On the other side, the otherworldly lord with strange markings on his face was standing next to a well in a small village.

Beside it, a large snake, tens of meters long and covered in jet-black scales, lay coiled on the ground.

Its scarlet tongue flicked out from time to time, hissing softly, as if to show submission to the young man before it.

This black snake was the same one that Cao Xing had defeated in the Witch Forest, which then fled the castle and followed the Church of Light to attack Lake Doron.

Now, it has reappeared and come to the side of the God of Nightmares.

"Hiss..."

The black snake flicked its tongue, its massive head lowered slightly, appearing unusually docile.

The young man reached out and stroked its head a few times: "Not bad, little guy... After sensing that I had come out, it actually came looking for me on its own."

"Considering your loyalty, you shall follow me from now on."

The black snake seemed to understand his words, its huge body slightly curling up as if to express its loyalty.

The young man smiled slightly, then turned his head to look ahead.

Hundreds of villagers dressed in thin clothing were gathered there.

They all had their eyes closed and their faces were pale, as if they had lost all signs of life.

The young man slowly reached out his hand, as if to pull someone along.

The next moment, a large number of purple light spots flew out from these villagers and all gathered in the young man's hand.

He took a deep breath and absorbed all the light spots into his body.

"hiss……"

The young people couldn't help but let out a joyful shout, as if they were experiencing some kind of intense pleasure, and their whole being was in a state of sublimation.

A moment later, he let out a heavy sigh.

The expression on his face vanished, replaced by a cold, sinister look.

"I never imagined that I, the mighty God of Nightmares, would fall to such a state."

"Not only do we have to act secretly, but we can only target these small villages, where we only gain a few dozen new believers a day."

"At this rate, who knows when we'll be able to establish the Nightmare Dynasty and re-condense the Nightmare Godhood!"

You should know that at their peak, each of these gods had tens of millions of followers.

Dem, in particular, as the god who controls nightmares, is able to enter the dreams of countless beings.

In addition, he also had a huge organization—the Nightmare Court—that developed followers for him everywhere, drawing a continuous stream of faith power.

At that time, Dem was incredibly powerful, and the amount of faith power he absorbed every day was among the highest of all the gods.

As they were stripped of their divine status and their divine power dissipated, their followers gradually left them.

Even the once-nightmare imperial court was destroyed.

From then on, the title of the God of Nightmares gradually disappeared from this continent.

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"The current period of dormancy is only temporary."

"Once I regain my divine status, I will reclaim everything I have lost."

Upon hearing this, the black snake seemed to sense its master's emotions.

It opened its gaping maw and hissed, seemingly echoing its words.

As the young man looked at the black snake, the fierceness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He patted the black snake's head again, his tone unusually gentle: "You little guy are quite intelligent. You're a promising talent."

He paused, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

“Perfect timing. I know of a powerful ‘Serpent Rune Stone’ hidden somewhere. Let’s see if we can get our hands on it and transplant it into your body.”

"Perhaps there's a chance... for you to reach the legendary realm."

Upon hearing this, Blackie's eyes immediately narrowed.

A glint of excitement flashed in his scarlet eyes.

Its enormous body twisted slightly, as if expressing its expectation.

The young man's smile deepened, and he said in a low voice, "Let's go, it's time to take back what's rightfully ours."

After saying that, he led the hundreds of sleeping villagers behind him toward a certain place.

The enormous black snake followed closely behind, its massive body gliding across the snow with a soft, rustling sound...

...

...

(P.S.: I'm going to catch a dragon tomorrow, and a new pet will appear!)
