Chapter 572 Gaia, Mother of the Earth
The woman was wearing a blood-colored robe, holding a candlestick, emitting endless darkness.

She sat on the mural, looked down at Liu Ping, and said:

"Are you a messenger of God?"

"No, I'm not." Liu Ping said.

"Impossible, that dead old man will never give the sacred candlestick to someone he doesn't approve of."

"I'm probably his comrade in arms."

"You knew each other before?"

"I have forgotten a lot of things, and I have a vague impression. I should have had dinner together."

"So you came to hell...for what?"

"This is a secret between me and him. In short, we will not make things worse."

The blood-robed woman pondered for a few breaths, and said in a low voice: "Yeah, things are already bad. You really can't make things worse. It's good that you can save your lives here..."

"Who is she?" Liu Ping asked quietly.

"One of my own, Gaia, the mother of the earth—but she is hating me." God said succinctly.

"why?"

"Because when the nightmare came, I was already dead, so the whole world and all the land were destroyed."

"She wants you to fight?"

"Yes, when the earth was destroyed, she lost too much power, and now she is as weak as us."

Liu Ping looked at the blood-robed woman on the mural, and his eyes fell on the candlestick in her hand.

The woman noticed his gaze and explained: "Hell is the other side of the Holy Kingdom. In the two worlds, everything is in pairs and has different functions."

"The omniscient and omnipotent Lord is unwilling to die like this. He came here with me to find a way to save the situation." Liu Ping said.

"He escaped with death, and you—I feel that your strength has also suffered a serious loss, just like mine. I'm afraid we can't do anything like this." Gaia, the mother of the earth, said.

""Why? " Liu Ping asked.

"Hell has become a testing ground beyond the imagination of all living beings. There are existences that are far more powerful and chaotic than ordinary nightmare monsters. Even if Nightmare wants to clean them up, it is not so easy." Mother Earth said.

"I didn't come here to fight, but to find a path leading to the Holy Kingdom and take away everything from the Holy Kingdom," Liu Ping said.

"I also know that way... I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing." Mother Earth said.

Liuping paused.

"After the destruction of the earth, hell is her last place. If we want to do something, we can't do it without her approval." God whispered.

"Tell me, what is it?" Liu Ping said.

"Take me away too—as long as I leave hell, all the dead in hell will follow me and leave. They must be saved instead of staying here and becoming rations for monsters." Gaia, the mother of the earth, said.

"I can't do it alone." Liu Ping said.

"With me and that old man helping you, maybe you can do it." Mother Earth said.

At this time, the voice of God came out again:
"She knows the weaknesses of everything that exists. With her on board, we will be even more powerful."

Even more powerful...

Let's survive first.

Liu Ping sighed and said, "Okay, how can I take you away?"

Gaia, the mother of the earth, said: "What you see is just a portrait of me. To find the place where I am trapped, you need to go through a very dangerous place."

rumbling--

The mural rises slowly along with the entire wall.

Behind this wall, there is a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor are cells one by one. There is nothing inside, only some blood and internal organs.

At the end of the corridor, there stood a man in black who was taking a nap.

If you look carefully, you will find that he is not actually wearing black clothes, but black blood is all over his body.

——He has a long tail with stopped hearts strung on it. Looking at his sleeping appearance, it seems to be a short rest after eating.

Gaia, Mother Earth said:
"This is a test product of nightmares. The human body contains the souls of nightmare monsters. It has produced unexpected mutations, and its strength has been increased several times, but it has a weakness—"

"It has no sanity, only appetite."

"What is its strength?" Liu Ping asked.

"With our current level of greatly weakened strength, there is no way to deal with it." Mother Earth said.

After listening carefully, Liu Ping untied the monster's head from his waist and said, "I'll try."

The head of the monster hurriedly said: "My lord, I have always told the truth and never lied to you."

"Let me see your true abilities - you must have abilities that I don't know about to escape from such a terrifying place," Liu Ping said.

"Don't, I was only in the bloody water just now, but I have never gone deep into such a dangerous place." The monster's head said quickly.

"Really?"

Liu Ping tossed the head, followed a few steps and kicked it out.

The human hair let out a scream, crossed the long corridor, and arrived in front of the monster in an instant.

The monster moved its nose and quickly opened its eyes.

"Damn!"

With a curse, the human head suddenly turned into a phantom, pierced through the monster, passed through the wall, and quickly disappeared.

It turns out that it has mastered the triple strange power of blurring, penetrating, and ignoring attacks!

“Interesting food.”

The monster slammed backwards, and immediately smashed through the wall and chased after it.

Now, only Liu Ping was left in front of the corridor.

"At this time, I will take you to find my real body." Mother Earth said on the mural.

She turned into a blood thread, flew down, and entwined into a crimson ring between Liu Ping's fingers.

Liu Ping didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly swept forward along the corridor.

He came to where the monster had been standing.

There are two passages here, the passage on the left is an upward road, and the passage on the right leads to a deep path.

"Quick! Let's take the passage on the left."

Mother Earth's urging voice came from the crimson ring.

Liu Ping looked to the left, and saw an open door there, with steps extending upwards outside the door.

He ran over and was about to pass through the door when he stopped suddenly.

The "man" covered in black blood came out of the void and blocked the door.

"The heads are delicious, thanks."

It spoke in a serious manner, opening its mouth to spit out some bone fragments.

Liu Ping stood still and said, "If you really think so, get out of the way, I have something to do."

The monster said: "I want to eat you."

When it said "eat", it had already turned into a flash of lightning and arrived in front of Liu Ping in an instant.

The monster opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit Liu Ping's head with all its strength.

Click!

There was the crisp sound of teeth clashing.

The monster ate nothing!

It took two steps back and looked towards Liu Ping.

I saw Liu Ping still standing there, smiling and saying: "Actually, what you see is just my illusion, the real me has already run away to the other side."

The monster was stunned, and then roared: "No! You can't run away!"

It passed through Liu Ping's illusory special effects, chased towards the deep path on the right, and quickly disappeared.

Outside the passage on the left, Liu Ping stood behind the wall and listened for a while, then walked up the steps.

——Sure enough, although this monster is powerful, it has no intelligence.

In the crimson ring, Gaia, the mother of the earth, asked with interest:

"It seems easy to avoid that guy without any fight, but it's actually not an easy thing - who are you?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, I'll rescue you first, and we'll talk about other things." Liu Ping said.

He casually took out a bag of dry food from the storage space and threw it into the darkness outside the steps.

Between lightning and flint.

The monster suddenly appeared behind him, but retreated quickly, chasing after the falling dry food.

"That's fast, Andrea."

Liu Ping sighed and waved his hand.

"Here you are." Andrea said.

I saw countless weapons appearing in the surrounding void.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and held a simple long knife in his hand.

The voice of Mother Earth came from the crimson ring: "I seem to have told you that it is a nightmare in human form, and its strength is above us."

Liu Ping said: "Maybe its strength surpasses that of you and God—"

The monster suddenly appeared beside him.

Almost at the same moment, Liu Ping turned around trembling all over, and stabbed the long knife in the monster's mouth.

A thunderous shock exploded from the knife.

A flash of lightning rushed away, instantly piercing through the night and the sky, and bombarded the tower hundreds of meters away.

A knife!

The monster's head exploded, its body was cut open in the middle, and the black blood was blown away by the strong wind.

As if there was some kind of magical power, the blood in the corpse flew out automatically, all rushed into the air, landed on the opposite wall, and drew a powerful "one" character.

"The name of the knife is 'Bloodletting', and with one hit, all the blood on the enemy's body can be released."

Andrea said leisurely.

"The weapon is good." Liu Ping praised, and put the long knife back into the void.

Lines of burning small characters quietly emerged:
"You performed a sword technique unknown to Nightmare: Shaking."

"This attack has activated 'Killing for Pleasure', which has accumulated a lot of soul power for you."

"Please keep working hard, kill another guy like this, and you will be ready to cross the tribulation."

All fine print is collected.

The monster's body was also cut in half, but it still tied the two halves together with its tail and stood there stubbornly.

Even though its head had exploded, it still asked:
"What kind of knife technique are you doing? Why doesn't my setting set work at all?"

"This is a sword technique that doesn't exist in the world." Liu Ping said.

"No wonder...if I had one more life...maybe I could eat you."

The monster sighed.

It could no longer maintain its body shape, and its two halves fell onto the steps, rolling all the way down.

In the crimson ring, Gaia, the mother of the earth, heard the confused voice:

"Why are you so strong? Could it be that you are in your prime? No, I feel that your vitality has been greatly damaged..."

"It's like this - although we have all been abandoned by the times, like you, one escaped and the other was trapped, but we still have a chance to cheer up." Liu Ping said.

"Have you lived through the first days?" asked Gaia, Mother Earth.

"It was a difficult time - but I have initially pulled myself together and raced against time to improve my strength - after all, we want revenge, don't we?" Liu Ping said.

A moment of silence.

Suddenly, Gaia, the mother of the earth, and the omniscient and omnipotent Lord spoke at the same time:
"Of course, we will have revenge."

Liu Ping nodded in satisfaction and said, "They may have defeated us, but we have not been defeated, so we must be able to save all living beings and the world."

He turned and continued running up the steps.
