The Connection Between Past and Future!

「"Come on, mortal. You only have one chance to make a move."」 The Manor Lord opened a book and held it in his hand.

He looked like he didn't care at all, you could even say that he was disinterested.

But he did carry a hint of killing intent.

Liu Ping thought for a moment.

Perhaps this guy really does want to kill me and obtain the secrets hidden behind the world, but he has no interest in killing me.

Why?

Liu Ping's gaze fell onto the book …

In the void of space, a line of burning text marked it:

[Living Being Settings]

That's right, this book recorded all the known Professions and techniques.

If I attack the Manor Lord, what will happen?

Liu Ping put his hand on the hilt of his Blade.

God's voice suddenly sounded: "High-level Occultism Bladesmanship can't kill it, at most it can heavily injure it, but it can't keep it here."

"Completely impossible?" Liu Ping asked.

"Unless … you catch it off guard," God replied.

Liu Ping fell silent.

「"You were quite boastful just now, why don't you come up and fight?" 」the Manor Lord mocked.

"Very well."

As soon as he said that.

Liu Ping suddenly charged forward, the Blade in his hand unleashed hundreds of thousands of Blade auras, all aimed at the Manor Lord.

The book suddenly flashed.

The Manor Lord didn't even look at the Blade auras in the air, he only stared at the settings book that automatically flipped open, a mocking smirk on his face.

「"Bladesman's 7820th Style, Void Slash, tsk, that's all?"」

He casually said.

A humanoid figure appeared from the book, easily passing through the layers of Blade auras and hit Liu Ping.

Liu Ping instantly fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

The Manor Lord shook his head and waved his hand.

A soul appeared from Liu Ping's body and was taken into his hand.

「"What a boring battle … let me see what else is here?" 」He waved his hand, preparing to cast some sort of spell.

Suddenly.

He seemed to have sensed something and slowly stopped.

A few dozen meters away, Liu Ping was standing there, perfectly fine, looking at him with a calm expression.

The soul that coiled around his hand was nowhere to be seen.

「"But you're already dead."」

The Manor Lord didn't understand.

Liu Ping didn't say anything, nor did he attack, only looked at him with a meaningful gaze.

The Manor Lord fell silent.

After a long while, he spoke again, 「"This is not something that mortals can do."」

Only then did Liu Ping open his mouth and say, "Indeed, all living beings can't do it."

「"Normal Occultism techniques wouldn't be able to fool me,"」 the Manor Master replied.

"As you just saw, you should know that if I want to, I can totally deceive you," Liu Ping said.

「"Yes."」 The manor lord nodded.

"Due to some reasons, I can't tell you some things directly. However, since you are in charge of the entire manor and choose the fruits for the masters, you should already know what I do," Liu Ping said.

「"So you're also working for a master …" 」The manor master sized him up and said, 「"Yes, you're working for a master. What are you unearthing here …"」

"After more than two thousand years, no one has ever discovered the problem here. Do you think that I alone can discover the mystery here?" Liu Ping asked.

The manor lord said with some regret, 「"It seems that the master you serve is interested in this place."」

"I didn't say anything," Liu Ping said.

「"If that's the case … then I'll take my leave. I won't tell anyone about this," 」said the Manor Lord.

"A tactful person will always live a long life. Goodbye," Liu Ping said.

The void opened and the manor lord walked in.

He suddenly stopped and asked, 「"Can you give me a hint?"」

Liu Ping did not say a word. He only pointed behind him and then pointed at his other hand.

Behind him.

Hand.

Understood.

It was that powerful and unpredictable Nightmare King.

The manor lord nodded.

The masters rarely appeared in person.

If he did not really know the master, how could he point out its characteristics so vividly?

"You appeared so abruptly and asked so many questions. Now it's my turn to ask you a question," Liu Ping said.

「"Ask away,"」 said the manor lord.

"There are countless small matters in history … Why do you pay attention to this matter? What do you want? "Liu Ping asked.

「"This is not my personal matter. It's about some things in history. To be honest, sometimes the masters would fight for food … There would be some unhappiness …"」 The manor lord said hesitantly.

Liu Ping looked at his reluctant appearance and thoughts flashed through his mind.

The next second.

He took off the Bramble Bird ring on his finger and said, "I've heard of your name for a long time and have a very good impression of you. Perhaps we can work together in the future, if there's a chance"

Ding

The Bramble Bird ring flew a few dozen meters and landed on the manor lord's hand.

「"What is this?"」 the manor lord asked in surprise.

"A small gift to express my sincerity," Liu Ping said.

The manor lord sank his mind into the Bramble Bird ring and was immediately moved, 「"That's too much"」

"So, do you have any additional information? You know that I'm working for the master and need some information to support me," Liu Ping asked.

The ring was so light, and yet so heavy, that the manor lord kept rubbing the ring on his hand, and the reluctance on his face finally disappeared.

He lowered his voice and said:

「"Two thousand years ago, the masters descended into this world. On the third day, they ate all the souls and then fought …"」

「"I can't go into detail, but there seemed to be a problem at the time. In the end, it was covered up."」

"Thank you," Liu Ping smiled.

In the blink of an eye, a change occurred.

In the void behind the Manor Lord, a long saber emitting black light suddenly appeared and slashed at the Manor Lord's neck with all its might.

Following closely behind this long saber, another Liu Ping emerged from the void.

This is the real Liu Ping!

He used a 'Special Effects Artist' to trick the manor lord, but also showed the effects of the 'Special Effects Artist' to the other party to let them know that they were tricked.

That's why they had a conversation later on.

Even so, they were still tricked.

Because the Liu Ping that they talked to was still a fake!

Liu Ping held the blade tightly and swung it down.

"It's done."

"That's right, we killed i.t"

Mother Gaia and the Goddess of Death spoke at the same time.

"Not at all," God said.

At the very next moment.

Time and space suddenly froze.

That fake Liu Ping was still smiling, pretending to be listening.

The manor lord held the Bramble Bird ring and opened his mouth, continuing to say something.

Behind him, the real Liu Ping had already swung his blade at his neck.

But the blade stopped.

"Damn old man, what's going on?" Mother Gaia asked.

"It's very simple, everything here has formed a necessary karma with 2000 years ago, before the 'past' is completely formed, there's no way to obtain the final result here." God said.

"You mean." the Goddess of Death was moved.

"That's right, time, space, karma, and fate have all been activated, they require Liu Ping to settle the matter from 2000 years ago before they can determine the final result here." God said emotionally.

Liu Ping silently listened, then interrupted: "According to what you said, isn't this an extremely rare situation?"

"Yes, this is how the blank history was formed." God said.

As soon as he said that.

Instantly, Liu Ping disappeared from where he stood.

…

2000 years ago.

The era of nightmares.

The void of space flashed and Liu Ping suddenly appeared.

He stood on top of a rock and looked at the distant ruins of the city.

The entire world seemed to be devoid of life.

The Lords of Nightmares must have eaten all the souls, leaving behind a completely dead world.

God's emotional voice resounded:

"All the power of the Old Gods had rested on the God of Death, waiting for you for 2000 years. You saved the Twins of Death and reignited history, causing history to enter a blank state from this moment onwards."

"But why now?" Liu Ping couldn't help but ask.

He stared at the burning text in front of him:

[The world will be destroyed in three days]

It's too late.

What can I do even if I return to this era?

God didn't answer.

Liu Ping thought for a bit and slowly understood.

The Twins of Death.

A destroyed world.

The Lords of Nightmares had left.

Before they left.

The Manor Lord's voice resounded in his ears again:

「"2000 years ago, the masters descended on this world, ate all the souls on the third day, then fought …"」

「"I can't go into detail, but there seemed to be a problem at the time, but it was covered up …"」

What exactly happened?

Liu Ping's figure shifted, crossed the sky, and landed in front of the hidden camp.

He opened the camp with a wave of his hand, only to find that John and Jenny weren't inside.

"Death?" Liu Ping immediately asked.

"They're fine, waiting at the ruins of the city, there seems to be something going on" The Goddess of Death's voice suddenly rose.

Two cards emerged from the black ring.

These were the Twins of Death: Sleep and Silence.

The color of the two cards began to slowly change, towards dark purple.

"They don't belong to me anymore!" The Goddess of Death said.

John and Jenny on the cards began to look dazed.

Liu Ping didn't hesitate, waving his hand to release the "Special Effects Artist", hiding himself in the void, then flew towards the city at full speed.

Just two breaths later.

He arrived in the sky above the city.

"Yes, it's this moment …" God said softly.

Liu Ping looked down at the entire city, his gaze suddenly focused.

He immediately added a layer of "Deception" outside the "Special Effects Artist", then quietly landed behind a collapsed building.

He stood behind the building, slowly poking his head out to look at the scene in front of him.

John and Jenny were kneeling on the ground with blank expressions.

In the square opposite them, there was a huge creature lying on the ground.

The huge creature was covered in wounds, it seemed to be heavily injured and was on the verge of death.

"You … have to think of a way to find other worlds and capture some living beings back, I need their souls, understand?"

The huge creature spoke in human language.

"Yes," John and Jenny answered at the same time.

Behind the building.

"This is the so-called blank history?" Liu Ping asked silently.

"Finally, I can say it now. That was so suffocating." God heaved a long sigh and continued, "Yes, no one knows what happened during this period of time. Even the Manor Lord is still trying to figure it out. So whether you can kill it in the future depends on what happened during this period of history."

"Did this heavily injured Lord of Nightmares recover from his injuries with the help of the Twins of Death, or did he die here?"

"This is the first thing to be decided."

God finished in one breath.

Liu Ping drew his Baina Blade, then said softly: "I'm guessing he died here."

He suddenly disappeared.
