'Temple of Knowledge'.
The recorder still focused on the huge book in the middle.
On the cover of the book, four large characters appeared at some point: Under the Black Fog.
"Under the Black Mist, that's an apt name." The recorder smiled and waved his hand, letting the book open by itself.
Turned to the last page.
There are some words on it:
Brett was stunned for a moment. He looked down and saw that his feet were disappearing quickly, as if they were being erased with an eraser.
Two hours later, the exploration team returned to the 'Neptune'.
But Brett never came back.
Never come back.
... ...
At this time, the page of the book turned again.
New text appeared.
... ...
In the gap.
In the silently falling dust, silver light emerged, quickly moving around and outlining the shape of an arch.
The arch opens.
Tianyang walked in from the door.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with deep fatigue, like someone who had not slept for several nights.
Tianyang is now extremely tired both physically and mentally.
He dragged his tired body, pushed open the door of a bedroom and walked in.
In the bedroom, Qingming's body was lying on the bed. The body that was injured by Shatiga has almost recovered now.
The scars are still visible, but they are very faint and cannot be seen unless you look carefully.
Tianyang sat down beside the bed, with his back to Qingming, and sighed softly: "Sometimes I envy you for being able to sleep for a long time."
"I also want to just lie there and fall asleep like this, and never wake up again."
"I'm very tired."
"I'm so tired."
"But there is no way. I can't rest yet."
“There’s still so much that needs to be done.”
"There is a disaster that no one knows about that needs to be prevented."
"I'm thinking, maybe this time, even if I can stop it, I won't be able to come back, right?"
Tian Yang forced a smile and said, "But no matter what, I will do it. I will look for the recorder and Chi Yi, and I will find them."
"No matter what the cost, I will stop them."
"So, before that..."
Tianyang raised his hand, and an 'essence' floated in his palm.
That is the 'wind', which Tianyang has completely analyzed and mastered.
"I'm going to give this to you in the hopes that it can give you a reboot."
"Maybe, when you wake up, you don't remember me."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as you can survive, it's good."
Tianyang blew towards the 'essence', and it floated towards Qingming and fell into her chest.
Tian Yang patted her shoulder and said, "I will send you away later and let Xun and the others take care of you."
“If there’s a chance to wake up, there’s a chance to restart.”
"If I am no longer here, please take care of them for me."
"I am leaving."
After watching the essence completely sink into Qingming's chest, Tianyang stood up, but did not return to the world outside the door.
He opened the space wormhole and arrived at the underground palace in one step.
After the space wormhole closed, Qing Ming, who was lying on the bed, had slightly moist eyes.
After a moment, a tear fell.
Underground palace.
As soon as Tianyang appeared, his breath made all the Yamas fall to the ground, trembling.
He is the agent of 'Eternal Night'. After continuously upgrading the essence of 'Eternal Night', the dead and cold aura he now unconsciously exudes is like the arrival of 'Eternal Night'.
For the dark people who live in the world of reversal and are influenced by the eternal night, Tianyang is their god.
So, the King of Yama, who always waited for Tianyang to meet him in the palace.
This time, Youhua walked out of the palace and knelt on one knee towards Tianyang.
Tianyang looked at Youhua, smiled, reached out and lightly touched his eyes, and a wisp of black fire came out from his fingertips.
He snapped his fingers and returned it to Youhua.
"The agreement between us may not be realized."
Tian Yang smiled and said, "However, I can let you leave here and return to the world of 'Eternal Night'."
Youhua raised his head, purple light flashing in his visor: "Then, wait for death?"
"I prefer 'rebirth' or 'restart'."
Tian Yang said slowly: "The eternal night is not the end. After the eternal night, it will restart and the universe will reincarnate. You may appear in the new universe with a new look."
"Even if you enter the world outside the gate, you will not be able to adapt to the climate there. After a period of time, even if you are not attacked by others, you will collapse on your own and disappear into the dust."
Youhua was silent for a long time and said, "Before I became what I am now, I was a general."
"I led my brothers to fight on the battlefield, but we were betrayed by our own people. We were sent to carry out a dangerous mission."
"There should have been reinforcements, but there are people in our camp who don't want us to return alive."
“So we were left alone.”
"At that moment, the world we were in slipped into eternal night, and we struggled to survive in the darkness."
"But soon after, we found that we had turned into monsters."
"To make matters worse, a space crack appeared at that time, and the entire area we were in was pulled into the space crack, and gradually evolved into the current inner crack."
"I swear to bring them back."
"At least, take them away from this damn place."
Tianyang nodded: "I can let you return to your original world."
Youhua sighed and said, "They are no longer intelligent, but I would like to thank you on their behalf."
"No problem."
Tian Yang asked: "So when are you guys going to go back?"
Youhua stood up and said, "Now, we have been waiting for a long time."
"good."
Tianyang snapped his fingers.
Silver light flew, and in a blink of an eye, a huge arch emerged.
This was obviously much larger than the normal 'Gap Door'. When it slowly opened, a dark world appeared in Youhua's sight.
There was wind blowing in from the door.
Youhua took a deep breath and let out a long roar.
The Yamas immediately emerged from the darkness, rushing towards the gate one by one, and entering the "Gate of the Crack" like a tide.
Youhua also walked towards the gate, took a few steps, and stopped.
He turned around and looked at Tianyang: "This should be the last time we meet, right?"
Tianyang nodded.
"I don't know what happened, but you're the only human I know."
Youhua turned around and waved his hand as he walked away, saying, "So, don't die. Do everything you can to survive."
Just like that, the King of Yama also walked into the gate.
The underground world suddenly seemed deserted.
Now, there is not a single Yama left.
Tianyang looked at the gate, smiled and said, "I'll try my best."
Then he made a move with his hand, and the scene in the gap door changed. When it froze, it was already a scene of a palace.
Tianyang walked into the door.
Came to an underground palace.
In this palace, there are three bronze coffins and a bronze wall with an architectural relief on it.
This is the bronze palace deep in the 'Shadow Palace', and it is also the entrance to the 'Star City' in the dream world.
That is a special world built by the 'Dream God' Qingluan. That god is now incomplete, but he and his half, Ari, still control one 'essence' together.
That is also the lost property of "Eternal Night" and must be recovered.
Tianyang used the essence of "nightmare" to make himself appear in the dream world "Star City".
This magnificent capital is now less than half of its original size and is surrounded by a colorful light curtain. It surrounds the Star City like a city wall, protecting it.
In the current Star City, there is no darkness at night, and the light in the distance is bright but not dazzling.
Green grass has grown on the ground, the once dilapidated buildings have been rebuilt, and the city is bustling with residents coming and going.
Although many residents passed by, no one noticed Tianyang.
But at this moment, a small figure emerged from a corner of the street, looked around with two big eyes, and then ran over with a cheer.
"Brother Tianyang, why are you here?"
That small figure was Qingluan's clone and also his sister, A'li.
Before Tianyang could answer, Ah Li exclaimed, "You're not going to die, are you?"
"Not yet." Tianyang touched his nose and said.
Ahri circled around him twice and said, "Strange, you are different from last time."
"Of course it's different."
A gentle voice sounded.
Tianyang looked back and saw Qingluan walking towards him holding a paper umbrella.
The god smiled and said, "Ari, please do not be rude."
"The one before you now is a god, a god whose status far exceeds mine."
Ah Li was shocked: "Brother Tianyang, when did you become a god?"
Tianyang smiled and said, "It's a long story."
Qingluan stopped, looked at Tianyang and said, "You have the breath of 'Eternal Night'. If I'm not mistaken, you are here to reclaim the 'essence' of me and A'li."
Ah Li's eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped away, posing as if to ask, "Brother Tianyang, is this true?"
Tianyang nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Qingluan is right. I am indeed here to reclaim your essence and restore Eternal Night to its original integrity, so that I can restart smoothly and enter the next stage."
Ah Li screamed: "I don't want it!"
"It's been hard for me and my sister to have the life we have now. If you want to reclaim our essence, even if it's you, I won't surrender."
Qing Luan shouted softly: "Ari, don't be rude!"
She continued: "If this is our fate, then we are willing to accept it."
"In fact, when I created 'Star City', I thought there would be such a day."
“But I didn’t expect it to come so soon.”
"But even if it's a beautiful dream, there will be a day when you wake up, right?"
Tian Yang smiled and said, "It's true that I'm here to reclaim your 'essence', but that doesn't mean that 'Xingdu' will disappear."
Qingluan was a little surprised to hear this.
Tian Yang gently pressed his chest and said, "After recovering your 'essence', I will use it to continue 'Xingdu', so from now on, you will live in my dream."
"Of course, you sisters will lose your former powers and become no different from the other residents."
"In this case, are you willing to accept it?"
