Burning words floated in the air:
[In view of your success in obtaining all the Roles, you will awaken a new power]
[Congratulations.]
[You've obtained the performance ability: Artist]
[Turning reality into illusion, turning illusion into reality, and even all the performance skills are at your fingertips]
[You can't defeat the enemy, but you still walked towards victory, because you're good at creating all kinds of deception]
All the words retracted.
Liu Ping clasped his fist: "Master."
The old Daoist waved his hand and said seriously: "Strictly speaking, many of your things were awakened by yourself, I'm actually not your master."
"As long as you've taught me before, you can call me master." Liu Ping said.
"I agree with that, there's a hierarchy in learning … Ah, I'm wrong, I'm still not your master, forget it, this is too complicated, we'll talk about it later." The old Daoist sighed.
"Master, let's go, let's go save Xie Dao Ling's clone." Liu Ping said.
"Don't be in a hurry, you have to first pass the power of the Evil Spirit to the three strongest clones, they will analyze everything about the Evil Spirit, find more ways to deal with it, and inject it into the Six Paths of Reincarnation." The old Daoist said.
"She's not afraid of the Evil Spirit's power?" Liu Ping was surprised.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation is her technique, it's not afraid of the Evil Spirit's power, it can even turn the flag bearer into human being, let alone her." The old Daoist said.
"Then there's no problem, I have some ideas that I can try." Liu Ping said.
"That's your problem, I can't interfere, from now on, all the results of the future will be the result of your actions." The old Daoist looked up at the sky.
In the sky, one after another, demonic stars flashed.
As if they were alive, they started to fly towards the city.
A line of blood-red words jumped out:
[The Evil Spirits have arrived!]
The old Taoist patted the dust off his body and sighed: "I'll go fight, to buy time for you."
In the void behind him, several swords suddenly appeared.
The swords all gave off a strong murderous aura.
From one of the extremely simple longswords, a voice that was as thick as a mountain rang out, "Are there many of them, or one by one?"
(TN: Gu Qingshan!!!)
"I'm the only one here. Of course, I'll stop them alone. Watch your words," the old Daoist said helplessly.
The other sword slammed into the sword that had just made a sound, sending it flying into the wall behind it.
"Please don't take offense, Young Master."
A woman's voice rang out from the long, slender sword that was as bright as the limpid autumn water.
"It's good to teach it a lesson." The old Daoist shrugged.
He then looked at Liu Ping and said, "The three most important clones are waiting for you. I can't interfere in this matter. You can only rely on yourself."
"Wait a minute." said Liu Ping. "Master, you said that if there is a future generation, could it be that the outcome here is already decided?"
The sword suddenly said: "Gongzi, please chat for a bit longer, I'll go first."
"Okay." The old Daoist nodded.
The long sword trembled and suddenly turned into the appearance of the old Daoist. It rushed into the sky and flew towards the demonic stars.
The other longsword buzzed softly and followed him like a swimming fish.
At this moment, the heavy sword that had been slapped into the wall flew back shakily and landed in the old Daoist's hand.
The old Daoist looked at the longsword in his hand and said:
"You can't think that everything in the future generation is already decided."
"Why?" asked Liu Ping.
"Do you still remember the conclusion that you said was related to the 'Swimming Fish'?" asked the old Daoist.
"I understand … A fish is still a fish. However, what will happen outside of the fixed events in the future generation will still depend on here." said Liu Ping.
"That's right. This is the moment that will decide everything."
The old Daoist priest said in a deep tone, "The moment everyone lives, it is night before and after. Only by struggling desperately in this moment and seizing a chance of survival can we rely on this chance of survival in the future to fight for true victory."
"Understood." said Liu Ping.
He felt something and turned his head to look at the other side of the street corner.
The young Little Fairy leaned against the wall with her arms crossed as if she was waiting for him.
"I'm going." said Liu Ping.
"Go. Our ending will be decided by you."
The old Daoist smiled at him. His body suddenly turned into a blazing sword light and shot into the sky.
Liu Ping walked towards the young Little Fairy.
The young Little Fairy said telepathically, "Find a place and pass on all the evil demon knowledge you obtained to me."
"No problem … However, everything I obtained can't compare to the Flag-Bearer," said Liu Ping.
"Oh? Do you have a better idea? "asked the young Little Fairy with interest.
"If we really want to win this battle, I have a new idea." said Liu Ping.
"I believe you." said the young Little Fairy.
"You believe me?"
"You have already proven yourself with what you have done."
…
In the suburbs.
Liu Ping and the young Heavenly Girl looked at the battlefield.
Blood Rain was fighting with several cultivators.
"Tell me! How did you cultivate? Why did you ascend to this world after such a short time? "shouted a cultivator.
They surrounded Blood Rain in the middle and kept attacking.
Liu Ping said, "Put her on the verge of death."
"Are you sure?" asked the young Little Fairy.
"Yes." said Liu Ping.
The young Little Fairy flicked her finger.
In the battlefield, Blood Rain suddenly fell to the ground and lost her vitality.
The other cultivators were at a loss, not knowing what happened.
Liu Ping flew over, took out a gourd, and poured the Forgetting River water into Blood Rain's mouth.
"What do we do now?" the young Heavenly Girl asked.
"Do you know how to take over someone's body?" Liu Ping asked.
"No, but as a witch, I do." the young Little Fairy replied.
The Little Fairy silently appeared and looked towards Blood Rain.
"I understand." the Little Fairy praised, "As expected of you, this method is actually the best."
The Shapeshifter also appeared and criticized: "But there is a problem here, how can we not be noticed by her?"
Liu Ping replied: "There is no time here."
"So?" the Shapeshifter asked.
Liu Ping reached his hand out.
The power of an artist!
Instantly.
Everything in the surroundings turned into layers of light and shadows that dispersed, forming a brand new scene once again.
"This is?" Little Fairy asked.
"If we measure time, this is the moment when she transformed from an Evil Spirit into a human." Liu Ping replied.
Little Fairy nodded and chanted a few incantations.
She suddenly turned into a shadow, flew over, and disappeared into Little Fairy's corpse.
This way, when Little Fairy woke up again, she wouldn't be able to escape the young Little Fairy's control.
Because the Little Fairy was hiding inside her body, experiencing the same thing as her, constantly knowing what she was thinking!
"Let those people go, let her revive." Liu Ping said.
"No problem." the Shapeshifter replied.
He disappeared.
At the same time, those cultivators also disappeared without a trace.
"What will happen next?" Little Fairy asked with interest.
"Let her wake up, you'll know when you see." Liu Ping replied.
Little Fairy flicked her finger again.
Liu Ping waved his hand and released a screen of nothingness, enveloping himself and Little Fairy.
On the ground.
Blood Rain opened her eyes.
It was currently night time, the sky was as dark as ink.
She stood up and looked around, only to see that this was a mass grave.
"This place is …"
Blood Rain showed a confused expression.
On a lone mountain peak, there was no one around, only the howling wind could be heard.
"That's right, this is the moment when I first became a human."
The Little Fairy showed a contemplative expression.
She looked at the graveyard around her, feeling the exact same world as before.
"… It's here, but I can't seem to remember anything."
"Could it be that I've been reborn?"
"There's no other explanation, as expected, I can't die, because I wasn't a human to begin with."
Blood Rain walked back, sat down in the grave, closed her eyes and entered meditation.
This time, I can't be so careless anymore.
I definitely can't expose the Art of the Nine Serenities that I've learned!
Liu Ping watched from afar and muttered: "It seems to have been done, but to fully display the world she experienced, we'll need the Dream Guardian's help."
"No need to trouble it, I'll reconstruct this world and return it to its previous strength."
Little Fairy pressed her hand on the ground.
For a moment.
Outside the layers of illusions that Blood Rain was in, the entire world was rapidly degenerating.
Countless coffins contained the living beings and directly left this world, disappearing into the void.
The spirit energy, area, population, and civilization of this world were all regressing.
The entire world fell into chaos.
This was the cultivation world that Blood Rain was in before!
"It's done!" the Little Fairy said.
"What do we do next? Do we still need to save the other clones? "Liu Ping asked.
"Of course, we need to save the other clones. The more clones we save, the stronger the witch will be. We'll be able to continuously sense all of Blood Rain's memories and obtain knowledge and skills from them." the Little Fairy replied.
"I didn't see any of your clones in the city just now." Liu Ping said.
"I can't be found by the Demons, so my strongest clone became a prisoner and sealed itself away, waiting for someone to undo the triplet of [World's Death], while the other clones hid within the final spell of Time." the Little Fairy replied.
"A spell of Time, huh …" Liu Ping said.
The Little Fairy muttered: "At the moment of death, Time used its last drop of blood to perform this spell."
"What is it?" Liu Ping asked.
"It turns everything into a structure, just like this copper coin, it's circular and has two sides." Little Fairy held a copper coin in her hand and explained.
"… Too profound, normal people wouldn't be able to understand it, only I can understand it right away." Liu Ping said.
Little Fairy chuckled.
"Time can see everything and know the general situation of this moment, so this spell of Time should be on your body." she said.
"On my body?" Liu Ping was surprised.
"At the moment of death, Time used its last drop of blood to perform this ultimate spell of Time … Lady Mystery is his lover, so she has a way to activate it." Little Fairy explained.
Lady Mystery silently appeared and lightly put her hand on Liu Ping's chest.
"Are you ready? Go to the other side of Time and save all of its clones. "Lady Mystery asked.
"Time really has two sides? How do I go there? "Liu Ping asked.
"Memories." Lady Mystery answered curtly.
"When a living being is faced with extreme danger, it would occasionally surpass the limit of time and see everything that was hidden in its memories." Little Fairy explained.
The two girls looked at him.
Lady Mystery stared deeply at Liu Ping and muttered: "We can only count on you now."
"So can all living beings." Little Fairy replied.
"There's no other way out, I can only do it with everything I have." Liu Ping said.
The two girls nodded.
Lady Mystery chanted an incantation in a low voice, then suddenly shouted:
"With all of my power, I summon the blood of Time, reverse time and reveal everything it hides!"
Liu Ping felt an immense force wrapping around him and pulling him into the void of space.
Instantly.
The scenery around him disappeared.
Lady Mystery and the Little Fairy left together.
Everything disappeared.
Within the endless dreamscape, Liu Ping felt like he saw a drop of blood.
Suddenly, he had an epiphany.
"The blood of Time …"
"So everything that I, Eternal Night, and the living beings on the Purgatory Divine Pillar had experienced was in this moment, the moment it dripped down"
"This is the moment Time died in battle"
Blood.
Finally dripped down.
As this drop of blood dripped down, Liu Ping clearly saw his entire life, up until the very last moment.
It was the 181st year of Chengping.
A vast plain.
Spells flew, swords and blades clashed, blood flowed everywhere.
