Eternal Night.

Chapter 960 The Sky of Isolation and the Time of Invasion

Wu Pifu was truly dumbfounded.

The Root is no ordinary cabbage; Wu Pifu once killed four Roots, which is a miracle among miracles. If it were someone else, it would be a super honor that they could boast about for a lifetime.

If we were to use Wu Pifu's 21st-century concept to describe it, it would be roughly equivalent to a soldier from a backward country single-handedly taking down the frontline command post of the United States during a war... yes, there's a "after" part, and then single-handedly charging into the United States, completely annihilating its defense forces, National Guard, and police forces, and before leaving, forcibly killing the US president in his official residence.

Indeed, considering Wu Pifu's strength, foundation, status, and everything else, it's an incredibly exaggerated feat that he managed to kill four at once. This was enough to shock the entire Dream World, to the point that the Dream World civilization, which had seen countless storms, simply didn't believe it. Various patched-up rumors were spread, just to explain the plausibility of his ability to kill four Origins.

From this, we can understand what the Root means to the Dream World. It is not something extra-standard like fish and butterflies, nor is it one of only two existing beings like the First Buddha and the First Immortal. But the Root is the Root, the existence at the very top of the survival chain in the entire Dream World. Wu Pifu himself knew how much coincidence, luck, and sacrifice it took for him to be able to kill four Roots.

"Rosary beads made of 'Mulanzi'".

"...Buddha, I swear, I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty..."

"The trees that grow in the dream world of the Root of Death at Zero Point One bloom and bear fruit once in each era. Each bloom produces only one flower and one fruit. This rosary is composed of one hundred and eight of these fruits."

"Each time you kill a Root, you will light up one rosary bead. Once you light up 108 rosaries, you will receive a ?? level targeted upgrade. In progress... check complete. This upgrade will ignore all limits, critical points, restrictions, or any known constraints, forcibly enhancing an extraordinary path, ability, skill, fantasy object, title, life essence, absolute true spacetime conception... a sublimation level."

This is the Buddhist prayer bead set, made of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*. According to the mainframe's assessment, it was created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the strongest of the seven Bodhisattvas destined for Buddhahood. Its effects are simply heaven-defying; it forcibly elevates an ability and raises it to a higher level regardless of any conditions. This ability includes extraordinary pathways, skills, abilities, illusions, titles, life essence… and everything else.
This means that if Wu Pifu achieves this, he can upgrade his title, the skill "I am but a commoner," or even his current realm, which is close to surpassing traditional Chinese martial arts, to another level...

He couldn't even imagine what this meant.

Take the title of "Commoner" for example. It is the core of all his battles. It is still effective even in my own "Commoner" space. It has already been upgraded by one level. If it is upgraded by another level... it is simply heaven-defying.

Furthermore, Wu Pifu's "I Am a Commoner" skill is already capable of pulling in beings at the level of butterflies and fish. If it were to level up again... Wu Pifu might even dare to actually pull in the source of pollution. Whether he can win or not is another matter; the important thing is whether he can pull them into his "I Am a Commoner" space, okay? If he really can't win, he can give everything to the other party... that doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Finally, there's his martial arts. With the help of Adam and the copied Adam, he's been climbing to the top almost like he's exploiting a bug, stepping on his own left foot and then his right foot and left foot. His current martial arts level is already close to "above" "beyond ...
This is simply incredible!
Don't underestimate the importance of martial arts; it's the cornerstone and core of his extraordinary path. Once he can utilize it, he can immediately unleash the full potential of his already integrated extraordinary path at 150%, 200%, 300%, or even dozens of times the original power. And most importantly, within my own space, he can use martial arts at the highest level regardless of his rank!

The biggest problem with my space is that he has to face the enemy's full strength. Previously, the enemies he recruited were mostly mindless or only had status but no physical strength. But if he encounters an enemy who has both physical strength and intelligence, and whose strength can be exerted is ten or a hundred times that of him... then he has no chance of winning!
Unless... his level of understanding far exceeds the other party's imagination!

"...Kill another Root!"

Wu Pifu's eyes turned red. He gripped the wooden prayer beads and began looking around, wishing he could immediately catch a source and kill it. That way, no matter which of the three he chose, there would be an unimaginable qualitative change!
At that moment, Wu Pifu glanced at the Heavenly Court and realized that something was wrong.

As far as he could see, he couldn't see a single living being; everything here was so desolate and empty.

There was no sign of pollution, no living beings, and not even any extraordinary fluctuations could be detected. Apart from a vast, empty celestial ruin, there seemed to be nothing here.

“…How strange.” Wu Pifu sensed for a moment, then made no time to linger or conceal anything. After all, he was now in the Heavenly Court, and there was no way he could hide anything anyway. Besides, he wanted to see the Azure Emperor immediately and see what was going on with this former youth…

And what about that baby, now the First Immortal? What exactly is his situation?

Do they have their own difficulties? Are they actually persisting in something that is unknown to outsiders and therefore misunderstood?

The most crucial question is... are they even human?
With this thought in mind, Wu Pifu temporarily suppressed his greed for the wooden prayer beads, and soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight towards the top of the sky.

The Heavenly Court beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens was no longer the world he had seen before, but rather the place where the Primordial Immortal had captured and merged with a transcendent-level Great World.

But as Wu Pifu charged upwards, he could not see any end. Layer upon layer of space stretched upwards, and it carried a peculiar geometric charm, as if it were some kind of spatial rule that he could not understand.

"Mastermind, are you there? Say something."

Wu Pifu took out the Dream Compass and shouted loudly as if making a phone call.

"...Judging in progress...Judgment complete...Judgment..."

Wu Pifu vaguely heard the mainframe's voice, but the voice had a huge delay, like making a phone call in a place with a very poor network signal. This made him complain, "Mainframe, your phone signal is very bad. Find a place with a good signal to talk to me."

"...Lord...there is no...phone service..."

The mastermind stubbornly replied.

Meanwhile, on a yellowish-brown planet, a geometric array composed of countless enormous rays of light completely covered half of the planet's landmass. Outside this array of light, two enormous orbs of light shone brightly, one slightly larger and the other slightly smaller, floating in outer space like two satellites.

At a great distance from this planet, roughly a hundred times the distance between the Earth and the Moon, a spatial ripple is spreading. At the same time, from within that spatial ripple, a bluish-black horn has extended out.

On the landmass of this planet shrouded by the array, half of the Gaia spaceship extends from the earth onto the ground, where tens of thousands of extraordinary beings stand ready, along with tens of thousands of mechs, small floating weapon platforms, and medium-sized space warships that are preparing for deployment.

Gao Changgong stood at the very front of the line. He was one of the strongest Night Watchers of Gaia at present, and he and dozens of other Night Watchers with three titles were the backbone of this war.

Yes, war!
The Heavenly Court is attacking!

And Chu Minghao and Liang Min...

It's sublimating!!
