Chapter 141 Advanced
North of Frostwind City.

In the forest guarded by countless magic soldiers.

Suddenly there was a voice:
"My lord, this is the latest order, issued by the devil himself."

"Eh—what? Hand over the command?"

"They're coming!"

Before the words were finished, twelve humanoid devils in black cloaks flew down from the sky and stood on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, a man in military uniform appeared in the middle of the road.

He looked like a real human being.

——The ability to completely restrain the body shape and transform into a human appearance is a symbol of a high-level devil.

"From now on, I will be in charge of the battle in Frostwind City," the man said.

"Hmph, the city is about to be destroyed, but I want to hand over the command to you. I really don't understand why."

"Because our real mission is far more important than massacring cities. Once successful, the human empire will suffer heavy losses!"

"what?"

"All the magic troops obey the order, stop the massacre, and accept new tasks!"

……

Liu Ping stood in a void.

Dozens of metal pipes surrounded him, shooting runes full of light in the void.

Not far from him, Xiao Mengluo is the same.

Those glowing runes seemed to be alive, dancing around the two of them non-stop.

"What is this for?" Liu Ping didn't know why.

A cold metallic sound sounded:

"This is the spiritual call rune circle, and you will see its effect immediately."

While speaking, all the metal pipes were retracted, leaving only the last pipe.

It prints the last rune that radiates light.

As soon as this rune appeared, all the runes stopped immediately.

The fluttering runes fell down, like a piece of clothing, draped over Liu Ping's body.

A line of burning small characters quickly appeared:

"Notice:"

"The spiritual call rune array has been activated."

"Your soul is about to go to the Pillar of Eternal Night."

"five,"

"Four,"

"three,"

"two,"

"one!"

"start!"

Liu Ping only felt in a trance for a while.

The surrounding scene disappeared, and then——

In the boundless darkness, there appeared a majestic pillar connecting the sky and the earth.

Countless statues were displayed on the giant pillars—these statues were of endless races, and most of them were unknown to Liupin.

All beings closed their eyes, as if falling into an eternal sleep.

Behind Liu Ping, the indifferent metallic voice sounded again:
"This is the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night. The mysterious side power emanating from it created the entire Eternal Night world."

"Any existence in Eternal Night must rely on its power to improve itself."

Liu Ping asked, "What should I do?"

"Find your 'true me.'"

"Really me?"

"It refers to the traits in your soul. When a certain trait of yours resonates with an ancient being on the divine pillar, the Eternal Night Divine Pillar will mysteriously transform the power of that ancient being and bestow it on you. " said the cold metal voice.

After listening to this, Liu Ping thought silently for a few breaths.

The transformation of the mysterious side——

How does it sound, a bit like the "Heroic Spirit Asylum" in the Heroic Spirit sequence interface?
The difference is that Heroic Spirit's Asylum is temporarily borrowed, while the Eternal Night Divine Pillar is obtained directly by oneself.

The two are so similar that they even complement each other.

Liu Ping murmured in his heart: "Sequence, the 'true self' refers to the characteristics of the soul? Then what are the characteristics of the soul?"

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"Think about the exclusive cards you obtained through 'pleasing' when you became a clown, their power has become incomparable."

Liu Ping was slightly taken aback.

Suddenly, his whole body was like enlightenment, and he completely understood.

"I see, the rules of the Eternal Night Divine Pillar are like this—"

"For example, 'Please' is a professional card: the trait of the clown, and it is also its mystification condition. It can transform ordinary cards into cards suitable for the clown..."

"As a card now, if I want to improve, I must also use the 'trait'."

"Is it my nature to please?"

"...No, that's a professional card: the characteristics of the clown, and now I can't expose the power of the clown in order not to be found by the gods and demon kings of purgatory."

"What other qualities do I have?"

Just as Liu Ping was thinking, he saw lines of small burning characters appearing quickly:
"There are many qualities of the soul."

"For this advanced step, you only need to understand a certain characteristic of yourself, or think about what kind of unknown existence you have attracted in the eternal night, and come to help you fight."

What kind of unknown existence has it attracted?
If I had to say it, it would be——

rabbit!

Kaling: A 40-meter sword!

What was the reason?
Liu Ping fell into memory.

Yana's voice seemed to sound again, with a rare smile:

"Some cards are very rare, they are hidden in the depths of endless mysterious laws..."

"You said this rabbit—"

Yana said: "Yes, it probably has never seen the knife you created, so come and have a look..."

Because of the knife.

Rabbit came to help him because he was interested in surgical knives.

Yes, I have another trait.

--create.

Create weapons like never before!

Even create a magical skill that belongs to the six realms of reincarnation!

Just as Liu Ping was thinking, he felt a strong gravitational force coming from the Eternal Night Pillar and acting directly on him.

This gravitational force gripped him fiercely, pulling him forcefully towards the dark abyss below.

The wind whistled in his ears.

Liu Ping kept falling along the Pillar of Eternal Night.

fall.

fall.

Time seemed to have disappeared.

The time of falling was so long that Liu Ping felt that he had exhausted all the time in his life.

——And the Eternal Night Divine Pillar still couldn't see the end.

I don't know how long it took.

The statues standing on the Pillar of Eternal Night gradually became rare.

Liu Ping had to fall for a long time before occasionally seeing an ancient statue——

Although he couldn't recognize what the statues were at all, he could still sense that the power fluctuations emanating from these statues became stronger and stronger.

Pain.

Just passing by those statues, Liu Ping would feel an instinctive fear and a fleeting pain just because he was close to them.

He can totally believe—

If it wasn't for the attraction from the Eternal Night God's Pillar to hold him firmly, he might be able to completely wipe out his soul just by the fluctuations in the power of those statues.

at last.

The pull of the fall faded away.

Lines of small burning characters quickly appeared in the endless darkness:
"The Divine Pillar of Eternal Night recognized your characteristic: creation."

"You resonated with an ancient existence on the eternal night pillar, and the power of the pillar brought you in front of it."

Liu Ping looked towards the darkness ahead.

I saw a huge statue appearing on the eternal night pillar.

Liu Ping made a visual inspection.

This statue occupies a full length of about 40 meters on the Eternal Night God's Pillar.

Within 40 meters, there is only one statue of it, which is so majestic and magnificent, even its body is the body of this section of the divine column.

The statue has four faces, facing four directions of darkness.

——But around it is a gray mist that never dissipates, making it impossible to see its appearance and body.

Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"You have concluded a mysterious power contract with this ancient existence."

"The Divine Pillar of Eternal Night has transformed its power and given you the most basic one."

"Congratulations."

"You have completed the advanced stage."

"You have become an official knight and obtained the exclusive power of knights:"

"40 meters of summoning aura (primary)."
