After listening to An Qingyu's description, Lin Qiye was stunned for a long time before he couldn't help but sigh:
"Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, you are always like a demon... cough cough cough cough..."
"Okay, patients should smoke less... Mental patients are also considered patients." An Qingyu took the cigarette butt from Lin Qiye's mouth and extinguished it in the air. "Let's talk about business first. Fatty and Galan are already suppressing Azathoth outside, but they can't hold on for too long. We will go to help in a while.
The power of the six of us Ascendants should be able to suppress Azathoth for a while, but it is still impossible for us to defeat Him... In this world, the only one who can kill Azathoth is you who have assimilated His power."
"Yeah." Lin Qiye nodded slightly, and he slowly stood up, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"After billions of reincarnations, I have already devoured too much of His power. When my consciousness breaks free from this dream universe, He will definitely not be my opponent... I need an opportunity, an opportunity to kill Him with one strike!"
An Qingyu looked at everyone and smiled, "Leave the task of creating opportunities to us..."
"Yeah." Lin Qiye raised his hand and clapped it with An Qingyu's.
"Victory will eventually belong to [Nightfall]."
"Of course." An Qingyu said as a matter of course, "Don't forget, we have never lost a game that we have set up together."
It was like this when I first encountered the Nanda snake demon, it was like this when Gusu City dealt with [Bell Kland], and it was also like this when they wiped out all the gods of the K system... Azathoth was the last "victim".
An Qingyu opened the door of truth again, and quickly entered it with Cao Yuan, Shen Qingzhu, and Jiang Er, and disappeared in this dream universe.
…
High-dimensional universe!
Boom-boom-boom-boom! !
The same knocking sound appeared above the Gods' Mental Hospital, immediately attracting the attention of Galan and Lingbao Tianzun who were struggling to suppress Azathoth.
As the Gate of Truth opened out of thin air, An Qingyu and the other three flew out at the same time. Four powerful forces descended from the sky, suppressing and imprisoning the struggling body of Azathoth!
When Lingbao Tianzun saw this, his eyes lit up, "It's you indeed!"
"Long time no see, Fatty."
An Qingyu stepped on the gray fog, and the energy floating in the high-dimensional world quickly gathered here, like countless chains, entwined around the body of Azathoth.
But as Azathoth expanded more and more rapidly, these chains broke one by one after a short while. Even if the six of them joined forces, it was difficult to suppress Azathoth under his primitive instincts.
"It still doesn't work... He is too strong." Lingbao Tianzun said in a deep voice.
"Azathoth is the ruler of this higher-dimensional world. Even if we have completed the 'upgrading dimension', we will not be his opponent... The only one who can defeat him is Qiye."
While An Qingyu was trying his best to suppress Azathoth, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the hospital.
"We have done our best to suppress Azathoth... Now it's up to him."
…
Dream world.
As An Qingyu and the other six joined forces, Lin Qiye could feel that the power used by Azathoth to lock down this dream universe had been obviously weakened a lot.
His eyes swept across the silent and deserted city around him. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to look at Ji Nian, Guan Zai and others.
"Open all the shelters."
"Open it? Now?"
"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded slightly, "I need to mobilize the cause and effect of all mankind to make a knife... a knife that can kill Azathoth."
Ji Nian didn't ask any more questions and directly controlled the portals of the shelters in various places in Da Xia to slowly open them.
At this moment, the people in the shelter saw the words "leave" pop up on the screen, and then all the major gates opened. The night watchmen and the military stationed in each shelter received the message at the same time, and quickly maintained order, allowing everyone to leave in an orderly manner.
People who had been living in the shelter for a long time cheered and celebrated when they could finally leave. More and more people returned to the city from underground, and the dead surface came back to life again!
"We're home, we're home!"
"The Daxia Night Watch won? We won?!"
"Mom, I want to eat marshmallows..."
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you when the shop opens."
"It's over... I have to go back to work. Help, I suddenly feel like it's not bad to stay in the shelter forever."
"What's good about that? I'm almost suffocated after not seeing the sun for so many days. I must go out and have fun this weekend! Camping! Barbecuing! Swimming!"
"There's no sunshine today, and the sky is still red... Eh? Is this a sunset?"
"Can we finally return to normal life... Why do I suddenly feel like I have survived a catastrophe?"
"Everything is over. We can finally put our wedding on the agenda! We'll get married this month! Okay?"
"… "
As a large number of people returned to the city, in Lin Qiye's eyes, dense threads of cause and effect floated up to the sky. These billions of causes and effects were intertwined and connected to each other, like a big net covering the fate of mankind, covering the entire sky.
This dream world was created by Lin Qiye... but everyone in it was recorded by the will of the universe. Everyone here is Lin Qiye's memory and a real person who once existed.
Lin Qiye took a step forward, his figure instantly reached a high altitude, and walked slowly forward. His steps were not big, but he seemed to have come to every corner of Daxia.
He raised his fingers slightly, and threads of cause and effect flew into Lin Qiye's hands, gradually condensing into the outline of a knife.
He is like a god who dominates fate, holds cause and effect in his hands, and overlooks the world.
As the knife of humanity's destiny quickly took shape in his hands, Lin Qiye suddenly seemed to realize something, and his eyes followed a thread of cause and effect and looked in a certain direction.
"That is… "
He narrowed his eyes slightly and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
…
"Finally out... The beds in the shelter are still not as comfortable as the ones at home." A middle-aged woman walked out of the shelter and stretched in relaxation.
Zhao Zhengbin followed her, looking at the familiar Cangnan City in front of him. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of those figures wearing dark red cloaks...
He seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but speak:
"Mom, you go back first, I have something to do!"
"Eh? Xiaobin?!"
Before his mother finished speaking, Zhao Zhengbin turned around and rushed out, running quickly along a street.
Zhao Zhengbin ran at full speed through the crowd of people going home. The outline of the mysterious office reappeared in his mind... He knew that it was the base of the Night Watch in Cangnan City, and it was also his only chance to join the Night Watch!
Thinking that he might have close contact with the night watchman, or even become a night watchman, Zhao Zhengbin felt his feet quicken and soon arrived at the door of the office.
Zhao Zhengbin took a deep breath at the door and pushed open the glass door again.
"Ding Dong—Welcome!"
The office was empty at the moment, and the night watchmen from Cangnan City should still be maintaining order in the shelter.
Zhao Zhengbin hesitated for a moment and decided to wait here for them to come back. No matter what, he would be the night watchman today!
He looked around the empty office in front of him, his eyes falling on one of the walls, which was a wall full of photo frames. Zhao Zhengbin saw the faces of Hongying and others among them... Sure enough, this was a group photo of the night watchmen stationed in Cangnan City.
However, when Zhao Zhengbin's eyes swept across one of the photos, he suddenly froze.
He stared at a man in the photo, motionless like a stone statue, then rubbed his eyes hard, and then widened his eyes again...
"This is… "
Zhao Zhengbin seemed to have thought of something, his body trembled slightly, and unprecedented shock appeared in his eyes!
[Also, your father’s army seems to be in Cangnan…]
[… He was very secretive back then, and when his comrades sent his body back, they didn’t mention which unit it was from…]
[… Weiyang is a man-made forbidden place, usually used to protect the families of night watchmen…]
The words in his mind lingered in Zhao Zhengbin's ears at the same time. He couldn't help clenching his fists, and his voice was trembling as he muttered to himself:
"Night Watchman... Mom... Dad is the Night Watchman... He is the Night Watchman!!"
Zhao Zhengbin came to his senses suddenly, like a man who had just woken up from a dream. He took the photo off the wall and ran out of the office like crazy!
He pushed open the door of the office with force, eager to go home and show the photo to his mother. He wanted to tell the whole world the news!
The wind whistled in Zhao Zhengbin's ears. He hugged the photo tightly, tears falling uncontrollably in the air. An indescribable feeling surged in his heart, like pride, like blood, and like the joy of relief after the clouds have cleared and the sun has appeared...
His legs were running wildly along the deserted street. Perhaps because he was too excited, he tripped and fell headfirst to the ground!
Zhao Zhengbin screamed, subconsciously holding the photo in his arms, closing his eyes and falling to the ground!
Just then, a hand gently grabbed his shoulder.
Zhao Zhengbin felt as if he was being held steady by a mountain, and his body automatically stood firm. He turned his head in confusion, only to see a figure in a crimson cloak standing quietly behind him.
When Zhao Zhengbin saw the man's face, he was suddenly stunned. He felt that he looked very familiar...
“Commander Lin?!” Zhao Zhengbin’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. “You… You are Commander Lin?!”
Before this, Zhao Zhengbin had seen this face several times during live broadcasts, and there was no way he could make a mistake!
Lin Qiye looked at the young man in front of him, also a little dazed.
Looks like... too much like.
In a trance, he seemed to see the man come back and stand in front of him.
"What's your father's name?" Lin Qiye asked hoarsely.
"My father?" Zhao Zhengbin was stunned and immediately raised the photo in his hand, "Commander Lin, this is my father! Zhao Kongcheng! He is also a night watchman! How... do you know him?"
Lin Qiye's expression was a little complicated. His eyes fell on the thread of cause and effect floating out of Zhao Zhengbin's body, and understanding emerged in his eyes.
"I see... Is this the final cause and effect?"
“Cause and effect?” Zhao Zhengbin didn’t hear Lin Qiye’s words clearly, but he saw the straight knife in Lin Qiye’s arms that seemed to be made of countless silk threads, and asked doubtfully, “Commander Lin, haven’t we won the battle? Could it be that… we still have enemies?”
"… Yes, there is one last one."
"Who? Is he awesome?"
Under Zhao Zhengbin's curious gaze, Lin Qiye raised his hand and pointed at the red sky.
"He used to be very powerful... but now, not necessarily."
sky
Zhao Zhengbin seemed a little puzzled... Their last enemy is the sky
Just as Zhao Zhengbin was about to ask something else, the red sky began to shake again, and the aura of destruction gathered into a hideous face, approaching here!
Feeling the suffocating terrifying power, Zhao Zhengbin's face turned pale. At this moment, a hand gently patted his shoulder.
"This time... it's my turn to protect your whole world."
The crimson figure, holding the hilt at his waist with one hand, walked in front of Zhao Zhengbin, his shoulders like a mountain that could withstand everything... A wisp of cause and effect floated out from Zhao Zhengbin's body, forming a circle with Lin Qiye's cause and effect, and gently fell on the straight knife!
Ding!!
The resounding sound of the sword echoed throughout the low-dimensional and high-dimensional worlds, and the fate of mankind trembled with the sword!
Lin Qiye's aura rose steadily, and a pressure that was more terrifying than that of the world-destroying face was suddenly released from his body... He slowly raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.
"Boy." Lin Qiye suddenly spoke.
Zhao Zhengbin was startled and answered subconsciously:
"Um?"
"You have to watch this knife carefully."
"… Why?"
Lin Qiye's mouth curled up slightly. He looked up at the red sky, and slowly exerted force on the hilt of the knife at his waist...
"This knife... will be very handsome!"
clang!!
The fate of mankind burst into unprecedented murderous intent with the humming sound of a straight knife being unsheathed!
The next moment, a sword light that penetrated the universe illuminated the sky!
