Joining forces

The wind was flowing.

In the void, the dense cracks completely disappeared.

Everything was back on track.

Everything on the entire timeline returned to its original position, continuing to move forward according to the trajectory of time, space, fate, and causality.

Or rather, it was not "moving", but "presenting".

Liu Ping replaced the Old God and became the part that was presented in all the subsequent events.

At this moment, he had become the Old God of Purgatory.

The Prison Chains, the Lord of Fire and Mist!

"So weak … I didn't expect the Old God of Purgatory to be so weak …"

Liu Ping murmured, a burning flame flashed in his eyes.

After inheriting this Deity Position, he seemed to be able to see through the void and the world, directly passing through the Eternal Night Divine Pillar and landing his gaze on the world of Purgatory.

In the world of Purgatory, there were dozens of specks of Divine Light.

These were the Divine Powers of the five old Gods that were scattered in Purgatory after their deaths, resulting in the birth of dozens of new Gods …

From the moment they died, the old Gods abdicated and the new Gods took over the era.

Now.

This Lord of Fire and Mist had almost completely lost its power, it could only struggle at death's door in the long river of time, waiting for the era to change.

It was waiting.

The moment the Lord of Purgatory woke up.

Unfortunately, before it could, it died and had to give the Deity Position to Liu Ping.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Liu Ping asked.

On the gray card, the Old God's soul showed a helpless expression and said, "I like good news."

Liu Ping said, "The good news is that you don't have to worry about resurrection, you just have to wait quietly in my death card tome, when I have a way, I will definitely resurrect you."

"What about the bad news?" the Old God asked carefully.

"I'm afraid I have to use this identity for a while … It's very important, very important," Liu Ping said.

"That's the only way." The Old God sighed.

"But there's also good news, my card deck is called 'Joy', you can recuperate in my card deck, relieving the fatigue of your soul," Liu Ping said.

The Old God looked around the card.

This card was full of rivers formed by lava, surrounded by volcanoes, thick smoke coming out from time to time, as if it would erupt at any time.

The old deity walked into the lava river step by step and floated above it quietly, letting out a satisfied groan.

"I'll rest here. I hope to hear good news from you soon," it said in a relaxed manner.

"Alright, see you later," Liu Ping said.

He put the card back into the Tome and put it away.

What should he do now?

He accepted the manor's mission and came here to bewitch the old gods.

In the end, he became an old god.

It was too troublesome to explain this matter, and there were layers upon layers of doubts. It was definitely not something that could be solved with a lie.

This was a major event in history that would be scrutinized by countless existences.

Let's take a step back.

Don't tell me I have to play the role of this old god and face my new self who had just entered Evernight?

… No.

This was too clumsy and easy to be controlled by others.

Rabbit suddenly said, "Liu Ping, there are many people approaching here."

"Got it," Liu Ping replied.

At this moment, he didn't have time to think carefully. He simply made a decision. He raised his hand and pressed it against the Warden Blade.

The long saber trembled slightly.

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes:

[You've released the power of the Warden Blade's scabbard: 'Phantom Spirit']

[Summon another you in a parallel timeline to fight for you before you attack with the Warden Blade. You can also disperse at any time.]

A dark shadow walked out from Liu Ping's back and gradually turned into his appearance.

This was another him!

"What do you plan to do?" the other him quickly asked.

"You separated from me at that moment just now. Now, you'll play the role of the old god. I'm still 0880," Liu Ping said.

"I see," the other him said.

The two of them were originally the same person. Now that their minds were connected, they immediately cooperated.

The old god's special effect on Liu Ping slowly disappeared.

While the other him in the parallel world stood still. Layers of shadows suddenly rose from his body and finally condensed into a huge lifelike figure.

The old god's divine spirit, the Divine Lord of Fire and Mist.

The old god looked down at Liu Ping and spoke with a deafening voice:

"Mortal, you want me to join your force?"

"I have the power of nightmares behind me. It's about to sweep through the entire era. If you're willing to join me, I'll help you regain your power," Liu Ping said.

"Power! I really do need power to take revenge on those new gods of Purgatory! "the old god said through gritted teeth.

His acting was not bad. He looked like he was doing the right thing.

Liu Ping praised himself in his heart.

After all.

He was probably the only one who could travel back and forth in time and know the evolution of the previous era and the current era, history and cause and effect.

"I'll give you enough power. So, do you want to come with me?" Liu Ping asked.

At this moment, figures gradually appeared on the surrounding cliffs.

Some were professionists from other teams, some were monsters from the Eternal Night, and some were existences of unknown origins.

Under everyone's gaze, the old god of Purgatory said in a booming voice:

"An unprecedented disaster is about to erupt."

"Alright, at this unprecedented moment, if you represent the new era, then let the new era come!"

"Very well, from now on, I'm your ally," Liu Ping said.

As soon as he finished speaking.

There was silence all around.

It seemed like … nothing had happened.

Liu Ping and the "Old God of Purgatory" looked at each other awkwardly.

Logically speaking, at a time like this, some big shot should have appeared, or a Sequence would have been activated, or some strange phenomenon would have occurred.

However …

It was as if the decision to form an alliance had been made so casually.

"Power! Since we have become allies, what about the power you promised me? I don't see it! "roared the Purgatory Old God.

Liu Ping was already clapping in his heart.

At this point in time, it could be said that all kinds of powerful monsters from the Evernight world were gathered here. There were even spies from the Purgatory.

If the forces of Nightmare were to bewitch the Old God of Purgatory verbally, he would become a laughingstock.

Would the owner of the manor allow such a thing to happen?

Suddenly.

A voice came from afar.

"0880, please wait a moment. I'm contacting the manor."

Liu Ping turned his head and saw that it was another team of professionists. They exuded a faint 'Emergence' power, and it was obvious that they were excellent fruits cultivated by the manor.

"What's going on? I've already completed the mission of bewitching the Old God, but it seems like nothing has been triggered. There's no reward, and no one has come. This doesn't make sense. "Liu Ping questioned.

The person who spoke could not help but feel a little awkward. He secretly transmitted his voice.

"Originally, we were going to capture it and bring it back regardless of life or death. Who knew that your mission was just to bewitch it? It seems like there's a problem somewhere. I'm reporting to the manor's butler, please wait a moment."

Liu Ping's heart suddenly trembled.

At this moment, he realized something that he had neglected before.

The forces of Nightmare might be very strong, they might be able to monitor time and space, or they might be able to control countless souls. They were an unstoppable opponent.

But!

But!

They were not clear about what had happened in the Evernight Divine Pillar and Purgatory!

That was why they made the mistake of allowing a few teams to join forces and kill the Old God of Purgatory.

This caused the timeline to collapse, and instead killed all the attackers in one fell swoop.

In layman's terms, they were fighting away from home and were completely unaware of the history and future of this place!

There were too many things that he could tamper with here!

He and the Old God of Purgatory looked at each other.

The two Liu Pings understood in their hearts.

From now on, they had some initiative in their hands.

Just as Liu Ping was thinking, a notification suddenly appeared in front of him:

'[The tactical team that 0880 is in has completed the current mission.]'

'[Current number of survivors in the team: 1.]'

'[The reward belongs to 0880 alone.]'

'[The teleportation is about to begin. You can ask your ally to get ready. It will go to the manor with you.]'

Buzz!

Waves of space appeared in the void, surrounding Liu Ping and the Old God of Purgatory.

"Whoever kills me will be killed by the Four Great Laws, isn't that right?" The Old God of Purgatory transmitted his voice.

"In theory, it is because you are about to replace the Old God of Purgatory to complete all the karma in the timeline later. Whoever kills you now will be erasing the entire timeline. The Four Great Laws will definitely backfire, just like just now," Liu Ping added.

"Then …"

"Yes, then …"

The two of them looked at each other and transmitted their voices at the same time:

"Play a game? Let's see if we can play them to death? "

They were telepathic and did not change their expressions in front of everyone. Once again, they transmitted their voices at the same time:

"Good idea. As expected of me."

"As expected of me. Good idea."

The communication ended.

The next moment.

The light of teleportation flashed past.

The two Liu Pings disappeared from the spot.
