Eternal Night.

Chapter 958 The Past and Future of the Heavenly Court
Wu Pifu sensed that he was about to leave this timeline, but his cause and effect in this timeline had not yet ended.

Strangely enough, when he created the "I Am a Fool" technique, he used the constraints and oaths from the Nen system's extraordinary path. The oath he made was very strict, including all his physical size, all his essence, his future potential, and that he could not gain anything from the "I Am a Fool" battle. This was to level up the gap between him and his enemy, and to compensate for the "difference" in pulling the enemy into the "I Am a Fool" space.

At the same time, if the enemy kills him, they can obtain everything he has. Moreover, all the damage he suffers within my own space is achieved by consuming his essence. If it were someone else, after one battle in my own space, they would probably either fall below the extraordinary level or become a vegetable.

The core requirement of this move is that he cannot gain anything from the battle against I, the humble one. However, he now feels that he is not entirely without any gains...

As he repeatedly used the "I Am a Commoner" skill to defeat enemies he shouldn't have been able to defeat at this stage, various patterns appeared on the barrier of the "I Am a Commoner" space. The clearest of these was a primordial evil creature, an abstract and ferocious fish, an equally abstract and ferocious butterfly, and finally a blue sky. These were the four strongest enemies he had defeated, enemies he shouldn't have been able to defeat.

Previously, he hadn't perceived it clearly, but after successively defeating the demonic thoughts of the fish, the butterfly, and the supreme being of the multidimensional universe immortal race, his senses seemed to have evolved, or undergone some subtle change, allowing him to sense a certain destiny and causality.

For example, right now, he can sense that he was able to come to this timeline because he is entangled with three things in this era in terms of fate and cause and effect: first, Qing; second, the thirteen innate gods; and third, this life that has not yet been born.

An infant born of the innate immortal race can be said to be the last gift and legacy of the multidimensional universe. After all, life, including Qing, is a new generation born after coming here. The ancient beings of the multidimensional universe, including the fifth and sixth generations born on the Ark, have all died out. They have no connection with the multidimensional universe anymore. Only this unborn infant can be said to be the last remnant of information from the multidimensional universe.

An immortal... or rather, a future primordial immortal!

Wu Pifu arrived at this timeline, and although he still didn't understand why the absolute truth layer of this timeline didn't exist at all, nor did he see the Buddhist race that was more ancient than the Heavenly Court, at least he had seen the Heavenly Court timeline. He had seen the future Azure Emperor, he had seen the future ancient gods, and he was about to see the future Primordial Immortal.

This can be considered his final cause and effect in this timeline.

Over the next few days, Wu Pifu did nothing else but quietly comprehend the new senses that seemed to allow him to perceive fate and cause and effect, while also helping the people of this world build this new world.

These people are all ordinary people, and although Qing has made some progress in the Great Destiny Technique, he has only been practicing it for a short time. His supernatural powers and abilities are mainly focused on cause and effect, destiny, and the ability to observe the future. He has not yet cultivated anything else. Only Wu Pifu is a superhuman with great strength and supernatural powers. At this time, he is equivalent to the labor force of a million people.

Since everyone comes into this world empty-handed, without any tools or machinery, and the thirteen great gods in the heavens cannot descend to the mortal realm, everyone must start anew in the natural world of this world, even if they have knowledge and ability. Starting from scratch is far too troublesome.

With Wu Pifu's help, things became much easier. For example, on a natural plain, Wu Pifu could easily modify the ground to create a site large enough to accommodate 100,000 people. Or, with a few simple manipulations, he could move a mine from underground to the open ground, or even extract metal directly from iron and tin mines.

If these people had started from scratch, it would have required a tremendous amount of manpower and time to achieve this. However, with his help, in just a few days, over a billion people had dozens of simple settlements and basic shelters, solving their most basic problems of food and lodging. At the same time, these billion people also established management structures in these simple settlements and began the most basic production and life activities, including brick and tile making, basic blast furnaces, reconstruction of their dwellings, and collecting seeds from nature to begin the first round of farming.

There are many problems, but this world is very rich. The benevolence of the Immortal Supreme created a very beautiful world with a large number of animals and plants, fertile black soil that looks like it could drip oil, and abundant water sources and water systems. As long as the people of this world don't do anything reckless, they can thrive here and rebuild their civilization.

To put it bluntly, these people are in a much better position than the Gaia humans. Although they have suffered and been ravaged before, at least from this moment on, their situation is much simpler than the complex problems faced by the Gaia humans.

If civilization is rebuilt, with over a billion knowledgeable, educated, and moral people, coupled with a fertile land and nature, and protected by thirteen innate deities with underlying moral frameworks, and even led by Qing, a "prophet" who can see the future, destiny, and cause and effect, as long as they don't encounter an external cataclysmic disaster and as long as they don't commit self-destructive acts, they can develop into an advanced civilization no matter what.

This may be the foundation that allows the Heavenly Court to rise in the future, but...

Wu Pifu thought about the scene he had seen in the Heavenly Court when he came to this timeline.

When observed with deeper senses, the misty celestial palace reveals an entanglement of countless souls. Every brick and tile of the palace and its corridors is constructed from souls. Yet, with the deepest senses, one can vaguely perceive the metallic floors, walls, corridors, and domes—clearly the structure of District 13… Something must have happened in this world, or rather, in the future of this civilization, to cause all of this to occur.

Moreover, Wu Pifu vaguely remembered that Beelzebub seemed to have mentioned that the Heavenly Court had encountered a very big crisis in its early days, and it was only with the help of the Buddhists that it was able to overcome it.

These people, Qing, and the thirteen ancient gods must have gone through many things before the Heavenly Court came into being.

"...Yes, I had a vague feeling about it."

Upon hearing Wu Pifu's question, Qing remained silent for a long time, then said with a bitter expression, "Human desires, no, the desires of life, are endless. The people here are kind; they only yearn for stability, to survive, and then to develop and pursue a better life. Ultimately, they can create a stable civilization. This is the future I can foresee. However, as long as they remain sentient beings, they will inevitably pursue more with their desires—to eat better, live better, and have more power. Even with me, with the protection of thirteen main control systems... no, thirteen innate great gods, classes will still emerge among them, ambitious individuals will appear, and those in power will emerge."

"...And then there's the extraordinary, right?" Wu Pifu asked thoughtfully.

Qing nodded gravely. He and Wu Pifu were standing on a high mountain. Looking down from the mountain, they could see a large settlement, already taking shape, with densely packed people working diligently. Qing pointed to the crowd below and said, "The biggest problem is not scarcity, but inequality. If everyone were ordinary, there would be no problem. But our world is mired in nightmare pollution. Even with the isolation and protection of the thirteen innate gods, the awakening of the extraordinary is only a matter of time. But this actually depends on aptitude. Some people just cannot awaken the extraordinary. But what if such people are both capable and powerful?"

"Lifespan, power, what does transcendence represent? You know better than I do, buddy. It represents a change in destiny. And these people will not accept this. One or two is fine, but what if the vast majority cannot become transcendent? They will definitely take action. The future is long—hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years. I am now almost immortal. I can protect them, correct them, and lead them. But in the shadows beyond my reach, this injustice will brew into immense disaster and terror. And I cannot isolate the transcendent, as described in the myths of the multidimensional universe era, severing the connection between heaven and earth. Therefore, there will inevitably be dramatic changes in the future. This is the future I can foresee..."

At this point, Qing looked intently at Wu Pifu and said, "So, buddy, do you have any ideas?"

Wu Pifu simply shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do. Don't ask me. That's a question you need to think about. People are people, and they have to bear the consequences of their own actions."

Qing fell silent. He remained silent for a long, long time before finally saying with a bitter face, "But I'm almost bound to them. If there's a drastic change, I'll change too. I can almost feel the future you witnessed. If that happens, you and I, buddy..."

Wu Pifu patted Qing on the shoulder and said, "Do your best. I won't force you, just as you can't force me now. I only have one request..."

"Be a person, be a good person, Qing. If we meet again in the future, and you are still a person, then no matter how many difficulties you face, no matter how many hardships you have, I will definitely come from infinite distances to help you, just like right now. But..."

Wu Pifu didn't say what he was going to say next, but he knew Qing knew what he was going to say.

If you cease to be human, then no matter how many difficulties there are, he will surely come from an infinite distance to kill you!
Just like now!

Qing remained silent for a long, long time, then suddenly smiled freely.

"That's fine... If that time really comes, I will certainly not be myself anymore."

After saying that, Qing said to Wu Pifu, "Take me to the heavens. I can't yet traverse the void. It's about time. Let's go and welcome the hope of our world, and the final gift of the multidimensional universe..."

"He is about to be born."
