Chapter 567: 567

Chapter 567: The truth of the Nightmare World

Li Shouyi did not bother with the so-called milestone system. Instead, he looked at the so-called main storyline mission.

Thus, the fireflies in front of him rolled and reassembled words one by one, Main storyline mission: Counterattack!

“Description: It has been 23 years since the cataclysm! The corrosion of the Abyss has tormented the world beyond endurance. But now, under the protection of the apocalypse, the world will blow the horn of counterattack!”

“As a traveler from another world, you have decided to join the rebels under the call of justice!”

“Hint: The abyssal world belongs to a high-level psionic power major world!”

“Hint: When you appeared in this world, the Will of the Nether River of the Abyss had already sensed your arrival! For some unknown reason, the Will of the Nether River has ordered the demons lurking in this world to come and find you!”

“Hint: You must assist the government/organization of this world to kill these demons and prevent them from sending information back to the Abyss! Otherwise, the Will of the Nether River will definitely send an Abyss Lord to this world!”

“Hint: Because this world has been eroded by the Abyss and captured by the gravity of the Abyss, the Abyss Lord will definitely receive the blessing of the Abyss every other day in this world!”

“Hint: The position of the Abyss Lord is equivalent to that of a God!”

Li Shouyi took a deep breath, “God!”

He had killed evil gods before, so he naturally understood the terror of the so-called gods.

They were existences that far surpassed humans.

They no longer belonged to the category of living creatures.

As long as even a drop of blood survived, they could be resurrected!

What was even more terrifying was that the destructive power and influence of the gods were extremely strong!

Back then, the evil god had only awakened in a hurry. Moreover, due to some reasons, his mind had gone insane.

Just like that, Li Shouyi had almost died at his hands!

Now, a true god could descend into this world and become an enemy?

And he could even obtain the so-called Abyss’s blessing?

Li Shouyi thought about it and he shuddered.

Those fireflies did not immediately disperse.

Instead, they continued to form words.

“In this world and the Abyss World, you can obtain the following milestones:”

“Demon Hunter Maniac: In one day, you completely killed 1,000 monsters or evil spirits! (Silver)”

“Resplendent Bloom: In this world, you successfully detonated a hydrogen bomb in the demon’s territory! (Silver)”

“Spirit Item Collector: You have obtained seven top-tier spirit items nurtured in this world! (Silver)”

“Plane conqueror: You have successfully occupied an abyssal plane and have persisted for twenty-four hours! (Gold)”

“You have insufficient authorization. The following milestones can not be searched…”

When the last word appeared, the fireflies in front of him turned into countless specks of light and dissipated into nothingness.

Li Shouyi and the generals who had followed him looked at each other.

They could sense the shock and fear through each other’s eyes!

They looked at everything in front of them.

Skyscrapers under the night sky, a charming black-haired girl.

From the looks of the girl…

She should also be a human. Moreover, she was born in a country that was extremely similar to Great Xia’s culture, traditions, and even history!

Parallel world!

This term flashed across their minds.

As generals, their knowledge was naturally profound.

They also understood what a parallel world meant.

This meant that the Realm of Nightmare could travel through space!

From one universe to another.

Dancing on the timeline!

This was terrifying!

It was something that could not be understood.

However, the girl suddenly opened her mouth.

She seemed to have waited for everyone to digest this information before opening her mouth.

“Everyone…” she said and greeted, “Welcome!”

Li Shouyi and the other generals looked at each other.

The origins of the great ancestor surfaced in their hearts.

Who was the great ancestor of Great Xia?

They naturally knew!

A transmigrator who came from the future to the past.

So…

Was this the world that the great ancestor came from?

They thought about it and shook their heads.

In the era of the great ancestor, there was no psionic power, and there was no revival of Spirit Aura!

So, this was a parallel space-time on another timeline?

…

Ling Ping’an looked at the entire cabin and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

He shook his head.

“I wanted to play with everyone as an ordinary person but I can’t do it with my strength!”

He had read many novels and followed the trend to write some pretentious bridge sections.

He naturally knew that he should act cowardly.

Then, he would jump up and slap their faces at the critical moment!

But the problem was…

Had he ever seen the richest man in the world go to the stock market and follow retail investors to buy stocks with tens of thousands of dollars?

Tens of thousands of dollars fell to the ground, but the richest man couldn’t be bothered to pick them up.

That was because his bank interest was accumulating hundreds of thousands of dollars per second!

Therefore, the richest man couldn’t be bothered to go to the exchange to experience life just to be pretentious.

He was also average.

Although he didn’t know exactly how strong he was, he knew that no one could beat him.

Even in his human form, no one could defeat him!

Therefore, following these people was purely a waste of time.

Not to mention, these guys even spoke rudely.

This was bad!

If they acted arrogantly in front of him, people would be killed. Unless he was willing to subdue those monsters who were willing to help him vent his anger. Moreover, they didn’t seek fame and fortune, and they were just purely helping him vent his anger.

Normal people should not expect to understand the thoughts of monsters.

Ling Ping’an also had the element of a monster.

Therefore, he could vaguely guess some of the thoughts of those guys who were controlled by madness.

If they did not worship him to the extreme, they would hate him completely!

They were heresies and traitors!

They should be torn apart and trampled on by 10,000 feet!

This was a matter of standpoint and also a matter of life and death.

Moreover, those fellows who were not clear-headed were not normal, to begin with.

Don’t expect them to have any normal train of thought.

So…

Ling Ping’an actually saved these people.

“I’m really kind-hearted!” he thought delightedly as he strode out of the cabin.

Halfway there, he turned his head and looked at the man who seemed to have also attacked at the beginning.

Ling Ping’an waved his hand, “You… Come with me!”

When the man heard this, he was a little puzzled, “Me… Me?”

“Yes!” Ling Ping’an nodded.

This person looked familiar.

Perhaps he had seen him somewhere before?

So, let’s form a good relationship!

The man hesitated for a moment and immediately followed.

Behind him, the others looked at each other. In the end, they seemed to have made up their minds and followed him out.

They didn’t care about what had happened just now.

This was the Realm of Nightmare, the land of miracles!

Many of them had transcended their own ranks because of the Realm of Nightmare.

So… Who cared about reputation?

As long as they could cling onto someone powerful, no one would care.

Ling Ping’an just shook his head and let these guys be.

Anyway, he couldn’t stay here for long!

Walking out of the door, everyone saw the situation outside the cabin.

The deck at the door was almost destroyed by the terrifying strength.

But…

Some people realized that there wasn’t any nightmare equipment dropped at the place where the tragedy happened.

Even something like a point certificate didn’t exist.

A few veterans frowned.

They knew that this was very unusual but they didn’t dare to ask.

They could only look at Mr. X foolishly.

They watched as he mercilessly wiped out the entire ship.

Whether it was those who resisted or those who begged for mercy.

They were all mercilessly killed by him.

After these natives died, their bodies turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Similarly, nothing dropped.

Not even a single-point certificate!

It was too strange!

Moreover…

Before those light spots dissipated, more and more people noticed that these disappearing light spots seemed to be human figures.

…

Huang Qin watched as the last sailor was shattered and turned into light spots.

He finally could not hold it in anymore and asked carefully, “Mister… Why… Didn’t these natives drop a point certificate or equipment?”

Ever since he entered the Nightmare World and stepped into the transcendent being realm, Huang Qin had been instilled with the concept of “The natives in the Nightmare World would drop point certificate/equipment/skills.”.

The current situation had overturned this concept of his.

The young man who was carrying the cat turned around and looked at him.

The corners of his eyes narrowed as he asked, “Then why do you think it is?”

Huang Qin shook his head.

“Hehe…” the other party stroked his pet and chuckled, “Have you heard of the conservation of energy?”

Huang Qin nodded.

“The conservation of energy, the indestructibility of matter!” the other party said. “Even here, we have to follow the basic rules…”

“So…” he asked with a smile, “Where do you think those point certificates/equipment/skills/bloodlines came from?”

“What do you think the Nightmare World was?”

When he said this, not only Huang Qin, but everyone else felt their hair stand on end.

That’s right…

Where did the point certificate, equipment, skills, and bloodlines of the Realm of Nightmare come from?

It couldn’t have appeared out of thin air, right?

There must be a source!

Moreover, the Realm of Nightmare couldn’t be doing a good deed.

It allowed humans to enter on a large scale and even made them stronger under its protection.

It couldn’t possibly be doing something good!

In the past, people had speculated that the Realm of Nightmare might be interested in the souls of the people who entered.

But very quickly, the experts answered: this mechanical space had a serious loophole.

So much so that the experts could use these loopholes to take advantage of the Realm of Nightmare.

Until a few months ago, the Realm of Nightmare underwent a drastic change!

These loopholes were fixed.

But the questions that followed were even more intense.

The young man holding the cat smiled and said, “Just imagine the Realm of Nightmare as an oil company!”

“All of you are his drilling workers! The workers who help him find oil from the Nightmare World!”

“The so-called equipment/point certificate is his salary…”

“And oil…”

“In reality, oil is the product of ancient creatures’ deposits!”

“Whose deposits are the oil from the Nightmare World?” he asked Huang Qin and everyone else.

This question was terrifying!

There was no need to think about it anymore.

It could only be humans!

The sediment of human society from countless ages.

So…

They were actually digging out the heritage of their ancestors?

Nightmare World was just a facade?

The so-called mission was to find and locate the method of rich oil mines?

When this idea came to mind, everyone felt a chill down their spines.

Because… They easily thought of a problem.

Since the Realm of Nightmare was for humans to enter the Nightmare World and dig out the “wealth” that human society had accumulated over countless years.

Then, the natives of the Nightmare World, what were they?

They thought of the light spots they had seen earlier.

A thought appeared in their minds.

There was no doubt!

The natives of the Nightmare World could only have one origin!

Soul!

For countless years, the souls of the dead.

In other words…

All of them became workers in the Realm of Nightmare.

Or, work for him.

After death, they would become his plaything?

What a tragic fate!

Everyone seemed to see, an incomparably terrifying monster, crawling on their bodies, sucking their flesh and soul, making terrifying sounds.

Life, old age, illness, and death were all controlled by it.

People thought they were free and independent.

But little did they know that everyone was born with shackles and became prisoners.

Just like the brain in a vat described in science fiction.

Humans were just animals that were kept in captivity!

Just like the livestock that humans kept in captivity, they were kept in captivity by higher-level existences.

However, this ranch was a little too big.

It was so big that humans actually thought that they were free!

Some psychologically weak people had their minds crushed by this fact!

They cried and laughed at the same time.

“It’s fake… Everything is fake!”

Humans who claimed to be the spirit of all living things couldn’t bear the truth of this fact!

…

Ling Ping’an’s smile was full of evil humor.

It was too fun!

The part of him that was a monster was extremely carefree.

It seemed that as a monster, he liked to attack humans and destroy their knowledge, and he was never tired of it!

However, part of him was still human and the part of a gentleman still made it difficult for him to bear it.

So he told the truth!

The real truth!

“Do you think… The Realm of Nightmare is such a low-level thing?”

“Then aren’t you underestimating him a little too much?”

“We are underestimating him too much. Ever since the recovery of Spirit Aura, he has already suppressed the god of death who has awakened!”

All the gods of death!

No matter which civilization’s god of death had yet to awaken.

The reason was that he had been suppressed and sealed by the Realm of Nightmare!

To put it bluntly, it was not an exaggeration to say that the Realm of Nightmare was the savior of the human world!

It was also because most of the Realm of Nightmare’s strength had been used to suppress the death gods and Hades.

That was why in the past, humans had exploited a loophole!

“Death God?” Huang Qin exclaimed and asked. “Mister, what do you mean?”

Ling Ping’an laughed happily.

“What does the death god do? It reaps souls!”

“The god of death in ancient Egypt wants to judge the souls of the dead!”

“The ten kings of Hell in the ancient central plains want to set up eighteen levels of hell!”

“The souls of the cross religion want to fall into Hell and be enslaved and devoured by the demons!”

“Think carefully… Why do these gods of death do what they do?’

“Think carefully again. Since the recovery of Spirit Aura, how many people could retain their consciousness after death?”

“Among ten thousand people, would there be one?”

“So…” the young man holding the cat smiled brilliantly, but it made everyone feel that they had fallen into an abyss. “Where did the remaining 9,999 souls that could not maintain their consciousness, souls that could not even be judged and convicted, go?”

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

“And this Realm of Nightmare could eat much better!”

“It only draws strength and souls from the back of the world, just like how humans construct buildings. It mixes them up and uses them as the foundation of this Nightmare World!”

“After humans mix sand and cement as building materials… Are the sand and cement no longer there?”

“It’s still there!” he answered himself.
