.

The blazing sunlight dimmed.

After a few hours of intense work, Dark Mist Town was no longer a wasteland.

The tactical team worked together with the reconstruction team to restore all the defensive facilities as soon as possible.

When Liu Ping walked out of the ruins, he saw everyone sitting around a big table, eating dinner in a hurry.

"Eh? Where's Lord Luo Sheng? "

The leader of the tactical team asked.

"I didn't see him. Are you looking for him?" Liu Ping smiled.

"No, I don't dare to look for him. I only hope that he'll be here tonight to help —"

The leader shook his head and called Liu Ping over for dinner.

Liu Ping didn't stand on ceremony. He found a clean plate and went to get more food.

When he sat down beside the leader, he couldn't help but grunt.

"What's wrong?" The leader asked.

"Nothing." Liu Ping endured the pain coming from all over his body and smiled.

Not long ago, he had just broken through mid-Golden Core and late-Golden Core. No matter how strong his body was now, he still needed some time to endure the impact of the new spiritual energy.

After his body had completely adapted to the new spiritual energy, he would consider breaking through to the Rejuvenation realm.

Who knew that he would encounter Luo Sheng and they would fight to the death.

Under the watch of the Devil Kings, he had no choice but to summon the Heavenly Tribulation and barely defeated Luo Sheng.

He did win.

However, his body had gone through two small breakthroughs and one big breakthrough. In fact, he had already suffered some serious injuries.

Now, even when he raised his chopsticks, he could feel the pain coming from his meridians.

"Tonight, you should just watch the show. If it's too dangerous, find a place to survive. Don't fight and recuperate." Yana's voice sounded.

"That's what I was thinking."

Liu Ping responded and picked up his plate to eat.

Yana thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow morning, we will think of a way to go deeper into Eternal Night. Don't stay here anymore. Otherwise, when the Devil Kings rush over from Purgatory, it will be troublesome."

"What's the relationship between Eternal Night and Purgatory?" Liu Ping asked.

"Eternal Night is the world of death. Purgatory is its corresponding world of life." Yana said concisely.

"What about here? Is this part of Purgatory? "Liu Ping asked.

"Here? This is Eternal Night. "

"— That's not right. Isn't Eternal Night on the other side of the metal gate? We still have daytime here. Isn't it a part of the Purgatory? "Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"The sun is man-made, and the giant steel gate is a kind of technological and magical barrier. It can only simulate 12 hours of daylight before stopping to rest. Actually, we've always been in the eternal night" Yana said.

Liu Ping took a mouthful of food and swallowed it slowly after a long time.

He had always been in the Evernight.

No wonder.

It was no wonder that the Evernight World would constantly devour the "living realms" and even destroy all living beings.

This was Evernight to begin with!

Yana continued, "Our current location is the place closest to the Realm of Life. Relatively speaking, it's the safest place."

"Safe? I barely managed to survive so far. You call this the safest? "Liu Ping said.

Yana said, "Not bad. An ecosystem has been established here, with cities and wilderness. There are living creatures here, unlike the depths of Evernight."

"What kind of place is the depths of Evernight?" Liu Ping asked.

"There's almost no end to Evernight. The deeper you go, the more mysteries you'll encounter. It's very easy to meet unknown entities that even Divinities and Devil Kings would have to avoid. However, most of them have fallen into slumber and won't easily wake up from death" Yana said.

"So if we run deeper, those Devil Kings won't necessarily chase after us. Furthermore, they won't know how to chase after us either, right?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes" Yana answered.

Liu Ping stayed silent for a few moments, then said: "I still have something to do, give me a day or two"

"A day or two? The longer you wait, the more dangerous it is, what exactly is it? "Yana asked.

"The cultivation world — — my homeworld, there are still some things I need to know" Liu Ping answered.

If I leave this time, I don't know when I'll be able to return again.

How long can the cultivation world last?

It belongs to Lady Agony, but Lady Agony might not be safe.

Shifu's whereabouts … and a lot of other things, if I leave this time, I might never get a chance to find out.

Yana's voice came again:

"Two days … alright, hurry up, we have to leave in two days, otherwise, it'll be too late"

"Got it"

After their discussion, Liu Ping picked up his plate and began to eat again.

A few minutes later.

The squad leader loudly called out: "Hurry up and eat, we still need to check the situation of the cathedral"

From the sky, a female voice came: "No need"

Everyone looked up, only to see a woman hovering in the air.

— — -it was Wang Wei.

"Boss is here!"

Everyone cheered.

Wang Wei landed, glanced at everyone in front of her, then finally stopped at Liu Ping.

"Follow me" she gestured at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping stood up and followed her to the back of a wall.

"You won?" she smiled and asked.

"I did" Liu Ping nodded.

"What a shocking talent, right, do you still remember the bartender?"

"I do"

"The previous Card user of Dark Mist Town, the bartender with the number 03687, every Card user like him and you will have to guard a border town for three months if they can guard it, they'll be promoted and obtain a certain amount of authority" Wang Wei explained.

"… Three months" Liu Ping muttered.

The bartender also said the same thing before he fought me.

"What a pity, he died in the previous [Skyfall] …" Liu Ping said.

Wang Wei's expression became solemn: "Card users are chosen by Gods — — to guard an area alone against Eternal Night is to complete the challenge given by Gods, this is also the reason why the goddess recognizes you"

"I know" Liu Ping said.

"The current situation is treacherous and ever-changing. The Goddess needs to focus on dealing with the enemy. All the borders need your protection. Is there a problem?"

Wang Wei stood in place without moving, and her body emitted an indescribable power.

These powers were like ripples, and they emitted bursts of light in the void, causing everything around them to become unreal. Wang Wei stood in the middle of them, and she appeared even more mysterious.

"Of course not" Liu Ping said.

"Hm, you're very good. You're even stronger than Luo Sheng. I'll show you the true path of a card master, show you the truth of the world, and understand the truth of natural selection. You'll become one of the Goddess's followers, and one day, you'll even be able to personally meet Lady Agony" Wang Wei softly told him.

A line of burning text silently appeared in the void of space:

[Attention, she is in the state of God's Descent.]

[In other words, a certain god is coming to see you in her body.]

— Lady Agony.

Other than her, Liu Ping could not think of anyone else.

"Seeing the truth of the world … How do you mean seeing the truth of the world?" Liu Ping asked seriously.

Wang Wei gently waved her hand.

In an instant, the surrounding crowd disappeared.

The only people left in the townwere Wang Wei and Liu Ping.

"The truth … is in my hands."

Wang Wei raised her hand.

A bunch of Cards opened up in her hand.

As Liu Ping looked closer, he saw familiar faces drawn on the Cards.

The first Card was the leader of the group, the second Card was another Professionist, and so on. Every member of the tactical squad was a Card.

"This is the tactical squad's Card set, each of them is a member of the squad"

Wang Wei put the Cards away, walked in front of Liu Ping, and softly told him: "In this world, there are only two choices. Either you become strong and dominate others, or you're dominated by others and can't help yourself — — -"

"This is the truth of the world."

"Child, you must make people willingly work for you, even if you have to resort to stealing, cheating, or robbing, you must make them willingly become your Cards"

Wang Wei smiled and gently told him: "But once they become Cards, they won't be able to control themselves anymore"

She whispered into Liu Ping's ear, as if she was telling him a secret.

"Remember, after becoming your Card, they will have to listen to your every command. You can make them fight, make them do anything for you, you can even betray them to exchange for other Cards"

"What if they resist?" Liu Ping asked.

"You can directly erase the Card's soul, or torture them for eternity, making them suffer endless pain until they surrender."

Wang Wei put the Cards away and looked at Liu Ping: "The war has reached a critical juncture, there aren't many people who can help you. Tonight, you must cooperate with the tactical squad and protect this place — — - remember, the cultivation world is very important to us, we can't afford to lose it!"

"Yes, the cultivation world is very important, I will do my best to protect this place and not lose it" Liu Ping whispered.
