A New Title

Everything came to a standstill.

In Dark MistTown, except for Liu Ping, everyone seemed to be in a frozen state.

Even the light in the sky was frozen by some unknown force.

A line of small burning words quickly appeared:

[When you expressed your desire to obtain the 'Title of Nightmare', the Ancient Gods spent a huge amount of divine power to completely seal everything.]

[You are the first existence to open its arms to the Nightmare Era after its return.]

[The Ancient Gods of the Nightmare Era are hidden in the void, waiting to witness this incomparably sacred scene.]

[Please act cautiously.]

All the small words were displayed quickly. As if to conceal their existence, they quickly flashed and disappeared from Liu Ping's eyes.

The next second.

The Ancient God looked down at Liu Ping, and a buzzing sound came from his mouth: "You came from this era and grew up to be a card Master under the rule of the Purgatory Gods, but now you are going to enter the embrace of Nightmare —"

"Clown, do you know what 'loyalty' is?"

Liu Ping looked up at him.

Around the Ancient God, the void was distorted by the boiling lava.

The Sequence said that the other Ancient Gods were hidden in the void —

Liu Ping suddenly smiled and said: "I only need to say one sentence, and you will understand."

"Speak," the Ancient God said.

"I come from the world above" Liu Ping said.

The Ancient God looked up at the light in the sky and thought for a few seconds, then looked down at Liu Ping again.

"Yes, I know about this …

"The cultivation world, it is a world stolen by Lady Agony from the void, specially used to replenish her slaves and resources."

"No wonder you are full of spiritual power, no wonder you don't have any sense of belonging to the Purgatory, it turns out that you almost became the slave of Agony."

Liu Ping also looked at the light and said softly: "Originally, I still had a way to delay for a while and then directly enter that world, but after I knew what you were doing, I completely dispelled this idea."

"Why?" the Ancient God asked.

"Because I need the Title of Nightmare, I need to become stronger step by step. Sooner or later, I will kill these Gods who treat us as slaves" Liu Ping said.

The Ancient Divinity listened attentively and spoke with a heavy tone: "Getting rid of those high and mighty Purgatory Divinities isn't a simple matter, but you made the right choice, after all — —"

"That's what we need to do next."

It stretched out a slender arm and grabbed gently from the dark night, plucking a shining star.

This star was embedded in the dark night, and together with the darkness, it became the back of the card.

The Ancient God stretched out his hands, covered the card, and asked:

"Clown, what kind of fighting style are you good at?"

"Everything" Liu Ping said.

"Everything? But you are too weak. "The Ancient God said.

"The reason why I'm weak is because my knowledge is limited. Moreover, I've never heard of such an interesting profession as a Card Master" Liu Ping said.

"I can feel that you're telling the truth. For someone like you to be the first to embrace the Nightmare Era … is not bad."

The Ancient God opened his hand and showed the front of the card to Liu Ping.

It was a man wearing gray armor. He held a long sword in his hand, and a dim halo appeared above his head.

The endless gloomy fog transformed into a cloak that draped over his body, and a series of shadows appeared behind him, as if something was following him closely.

The Ancient God said: "Among the many titles, 'Clown' is just a very ordinary one. It can even be said that the power of 'Clown' is extremely rare. But the card in my hand is different. It gathers the power of the Nightmare Era."

Liu Ping said: "I'm a novice. It's already good enough that I can draw a Profession Card — — but sir, what exactly is this card of yours?"

"Nightmare Walker."

The Ancient God lifted the card and threw it lightly.

The card turned back into a bright star and rushed into the night sky, quickly disappearing into the shadows in the sky.

"When this card goes to the cultivation world, those Card Masters who heard about it will definitely fight for it."

"I thought you were going to give it to me." Liu Ping sighed.

"That won't do. Only the Card Master who has defeated all the contenders is qualified to obtain it. This is its wish, and also our request." The Ancient God said.

"What about me? No chance? "Liu Ping asked.

"No, Clown. As the first person to embrace the Nightmare Era, you will obtain a secret about this card." The Old God said.

"I'm all ears." Liu Ping said.

"This card can't be found." The Old God said.

"… Can't be found?"

"Yes, you have to think of another way to make it yours."

After saying that, the Ancient God retreated step by step, walking into the depths of the wilderness.

Liu Ping shouted from behind it, "Hey, if there's an endless stream of people looking for this card, won't the fight never end?"

The Ancient God laughed in a low voice, and said without turning his head:

"Anyone who comes to fight for the title of Nightmare will know one thing clearly — —

"There will only be one person who can obtain the title, and all the failed Card Masters will sacrifice their lives and become the sacrifice of the nightmare."

As soon as he said that.

The light in the sky suddenly expanded and spread in all directions.

In an instant, the entire Dark Mist Town disappeared.

A few lines of small burning words quickly appeared in the void:

[Attention!]

[The Ancient Gods have modified the laws of space-time.]

[From now on, anyone who enters will not be able to leave the cultivation world until the 'Nightmare Walker' is born.]

…

"What happened just now?"

"I don't know, I thought I was dead."

"Strange, we're still alive?"

"Where's that monster?"

"I don't know, it seems like we entered a hidden space-time all of a sudden."

Everyone regained their composure and began to discuss among themselves.

Gradually, their gazes focused on Liu Ping.

— — During the entire battle, the only one who caused trouble for the Ancient God was Liu Ping.

If something happened, he should know.

"Alright."

Liu Ping clapped his hands and said, "Don't think too much, the next battle is a Card Master battle, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to do what you should do and survive in this world."

"So that's how it is" everyone sighed in relief.

The group leader was the first to react and shouted: "We're currently in the middle of the cultivation world, everyone follow the original plan and move out immediately!"

"Yes sir!" everyone replied in unison.

"Hurry hurry hurry hurry, put away all the cannons on the city walls!"

"Clean up the houses, change their appearance and style."

"Arrange your jobs — —"

"You're a blacksmith, you're a vegetable seller, you're a hairdresser, the few of you go to the tea house, the rest of you go wander around the streets, get moving!"

The steel was replaced with mud bricks, the Mech was replaced with a restaurant, the camp became a market.

Everyone hurriedly went about their tasks.

Fortunately, they were all experienced and managed to arrange everything in just a few minutes.

looking around Liu Ping found Both Yana and Andrea were there but The rabbit had disappeared.

'— — it wasn't my Card in the first place, maybe that's why it couldn't follow me?'

It seems like that's the case.

Liu Ping looked outside the city again.

There were only two small paths that were almost completely covered by the sandstorm outside the city, leading deep into the desert.

This place … why does it feel so familiar …

"What happened just now? I felt myself being enveloped by a vast amount of Divine power, I lost my senses and couldn't move at all "Yana asked.

Liu Ping replied: "According to that guy's promise when I said that I wanted to compete for the Title of Nightmare, he accepted — — seems like they're in need of manpower right now"

He gave a brief account of the process.

"A Card that can't be found? Then how do we compete for it? "Andrea was surprised.

"The 'Nightmare Walker' huh … did you really see it turn into a star and fly into the cultivation world?" Yana muses.

"Yes" Liu Ping replied.

"Seems like it's a Star Title " Andrea commented.

"A Star Title ?" Liu Ping asked

Yana explained: "Just like 'Clown' and 'Blood Knight', a Star Title also requires a certain condition to be met in order for the Card to be personalized. But the difference is that this Profession itself has a unique ability that can be activated without drawing a Card"

"Unique ability, for example?" Liu Ping asked.

"For example, me — — - if I recover a bit of my power, all I need to do is stand in front of you and you'll feel like you're being choked again and again, unable to breathe" Yana giggled.

"How impressive" Liu Ping praised.

While the three of them were talking, they all looked up at the sky.

In the sky, two streaks of light flew past, circled around Dark Mist Town, then landed in front of Liu Ping.

Communication talismans!
