Night Awakeners

Eternal Night Continent, Black Tortoise City.

As the Teleportation Formation within the city, which had been dormant for many days, emitted a long-awaited burst of White Light, Chen Fan appeared out of thin air, accompanied by the Crippled Monkey. A large number of Mortal Domain Member stood guard beside him.

And a villager kneeling on the ground, his face showing a hint of fear.

Chen Fan slowly walked to a chair to the side, his eyelids slightly lowered. He simply took the cold tea that Mortal Domain Member had poured for him, took a small sip, and then slowly said, "Speak."

The large-scale search has been going on for a day.

Quite a few were caught.

Without exception, no one spoke, no matter how much torture they were subjected to.

"They are called the Night Awakeners."

The villager didn't dare delay for a moment. Although his eyes were filled with fear, he still hurriedly said, "They are humans, but extremely special humans who have survived from Primordial Era."

"As long as it's not an accidental death, one can be reincarnated indefinitely, which is equivalent to immortality."

"However, after reincarnation, memories will not be restored immediately. They will gradually recover over time. This timeframe is not fixed; some people recover their memories at the age of three to five, while others do not recover them until they are seventy-eight or seventy-nine."

"Everyone has one characteristic."

"That's because they're naturally left-handed."

"An uncontrollable power is sealed within his right arm; it's their reward, 'Night Awakening'."

"Long, long ago, there were no so many continents, only one continent called the 'Primordial Continent.' At that time, there was no Eternal Night, no darkness, no Strange Entities, and no buildings, Cultivator, or anything like that."

"It's just an extremely ordinary and normal continent."

"There are almost no Anomaly Point."

"There was no Heavenly Dao at that time."

One day...

"A group of people gathered together, trying to see just how high the sky was. This group consisted of the top figures on the continent, including powerful nobles and incredibly wealthy merchants. They mobilized a large amount of manpower and resources."

A tall tower was built.

"Reaching straight to the Firmament."

"That tower was a full 20,000 kilometers tall, and its foundation alone was as large as a continent today. In an era without architecture or spiritual energy, building such a tower was an incredibly awe-inspiring and massive undertaking."

It took more than six hundred years to complete.

"Several generations have invested their energy and resources in it."

"Finally"

"The tower was completed, and they excitedly rushed to the top, touching the 'upper limit of the sky.' They discovered that the upper limit of the sky was 20,000 kilometers, with a barrier in the sky."

"It feels like the belly of a fish to the touch."

"But it is extremely hard."

"They tried to break through the barrier, but no matter what they did, they couldn't. At this point, those on the tower were bewitched; they were told that by placing their right arm against the barrier, they would gain immense power and be able to break it."

Everyone quickly left the tower.

"Because things had taken a strange turn, everyone knew something was wrong. But that night, a group of people secretly went to the top of the tower, their right arms pressed against the barrier to absorb power, and using the power contained within their right arms, they shattered the barrier."

"The endless darkness beyond the barrier surged uncontrollably through the cracks like a tidal wave."

"After that"

"The Dark Era has arrived."

Chen Fan listened patiently to the villager's story, but then couldn't help but laugh, a cold glint in his eyes. He slowly said, "Are you telling me that a group of people, without any architecture or Blueprint, handcrafted a tower 20,000 kilometers high?"

He can be 100% certain.

That's impossible.

Even in his previous life, in that industrialized world, it would have been absolutely impossible to complete this building. How could a group of natives who had never even entered the industrial age possibly create such a structure by hand?

20,000 kilometers, not 20,000 meters.

This height is exactly the same as the height of "Fallen Firmament".

This sounds more like a story.

If that's really the case.

The group that started this project must have been misled long ago and used dark forces during the construction of the tower; otherwise, it would have been impossible to complete the project.

"I... I only heard about it."

The villager shrank back in fear, his eyes filled with terror, his voice even trembling slightly. "I just heard them say that, I don't know if it's true or not."

"How?"

Chen Fan smiled and asked softly, "Are you trying to say that you're not with them?"

Absolutely not!

The villagers frantically shook their heads, their heads bobbing like rattles, almost shaking them off their necks. "They are called 'Night Awakeners' because it was they who initiated this long, endless Eternal Night."

"Each Night Awakeners possesses a powerful dark force within their right arm."

"That was the purest, dark power from the Eternal Nightfall."

"Certainly."

"With each reincarnation, a portion of the energy is diluted, and all 'Night Awakeners,' whether their memories are yet to awaken or have already awakened, will subconsciously gather towards the people with the purest Dark Energy on this continent, thus forming a small Village."

"I am not a 'Night Awakeners'."

"I am indeed left-handed. I happened to pass through this village and was taken in by them. As I gradually realized my situation, there was no way to escape. Their infiltration of the surrounding area is very advanced. Once, I tried to get close to Mortal Domain Member to report the news here, but when that Mortal Domain Member saw me, he respectfully addressed me as 'the great Night Awakeners.'"

"I was scared, so I never tried to contact Mortal Domain Member again, fearing that my identity would be exposed and bring about my death."

"Hello!"

The Crippled Monkey, his face Ice-Cold, said, word by word, "You mean, the 'Night Awakeners' have no means to detect their own kind?"

Of course.

As if Livelihood wouldn't believe him, the villagers quickly explained, "There are two main methods of detection. The first is to see if the person is left-handed, which is very difficult to fake."

"That just happens to be me."

"The second method is that they have a special means to see if the other party has been rained on by the 'Golden Rain.' The Night Awakeners are beings that the Supreme Heavenly Dao despises extremely, and once discovered, they will be killed immediately."

"Therefore, all Night Awakeners, regardless of whether they have awakened their memories, will subconsciously resist being drenched in the Golden Rain."

"And I just happened to avoid the 'Golden Rain' that struck the Eternal Night Continent a year ago."

"I hadn't eaten for so long that I fainted from hunger in the thatched hut."

"I was found by Mortal Domain Member, who gave me water and dry rations. When I woke up, the Eternal Night Continent had already been conquered, and the Golden Rain had ended."

"That's basically it, those two points."

That's how they came to believe I was one of their own, just that my memories hadn't been awakened yet.

"There is also a 'perfectly accurate detection method'."

But they won't use it lightly.

"That's because the blood that flows from the right arm of all 'Night Awakeners' is black. It's the color of being corrupted by Dark Energy. You can see mine; mine is definitely Red Grade."

That's all.

Before the others could speak, the villager bit his own arm, leaving deep teeth marks, and bright red blood seeped out from the torn skin.

Seeing this, the Crippled Monkey silently put the Dagger he had just drawn back into his pocket.

Chen Fan gazed quietly at the seemingly sincere villager before him, and after a long while, whispered, "So, what is their purpose?" "To go to the Beyond Heaven."

The villager took a deep breath, ignoring the throbbing pain in his right arm, and quickly explained, "I don't know if it's because of the corruption of Dark Energy, but they're like cult followers, extremely fanatical."

"I'm sure you've caught some 'Night Awakeners,' but no matter how you interrogate them, they absolutely will not talk."

"Deeply brainwashed."

"When the 'Firmament' was pierced, the darkness outside the Firmament surged into this Heaven and Earth, causing Eternal Nightfall. All the darkness came to this Heaven and Earth, and the darkness outside the 'Firmament' is gone."

"They plan to reactivate the Tower of Babel on the Cursed Continent, travel to the Beyond Heaven, and then establish a kingdom for the Night Awakeners Beyond Heaven, which they call the Heaven-Given Land."

"It was a long, long time ago."

"The Dark Energy promised them that they would simply return to where they belonged."

"The Cursed Continent?" Chen Fan slowly repeated these four words.

"Uh-huh."

The villager hurriedly nodded. "Domain Lord, you may not know this, but the predecessor of the Eternal Night Continent was the 'Cursed Continent.' Didn't I just say that they built a 'Tower of Babel' with a foundation as large as a continent?"

That tall tower originally stood on the "Eternal Night Continent."

"Eternal Nightfall."

"The continent is collapsing."

"The tower shattered."

"The Night Awakeners are extremely hated by the Supreme Heavenly Dao, and they are immediately exterminated upon discovery. It is impossible for them to reach the 'Beyond Heaven' through construction or other means. Once they exceed a height of 10,000 meters, any creature that reaches that height through a construction will be strictly monitored by the Supreme Heavenly Dao."

"To travel to the Outer Heavens without being detected by the Supreme Heavenly Dao, the only option is to restart the Tower of Babel."

"I understand."

Chen Fan nodded slightly and continued, "Why did you attack the Mortal Domain?"

The villager's throat bobbed slightly.

"The 'Night Awakeners' who remain on the Eternal Night Continent today have two heads, and their Dark Energy is equally pure."

"One of them has a violent Dark Energy."

"Call him Lord Hao."

"He favors weakening the Mortal Domain's power so that when the protection period ends, the 'Night Awakeners' forces from other Sea Domain can quickly occupy the Eternal Night Continent."

"He was the one who orchestrated the spread of the rumors that were detrimental to the Mortal Domain."

"The other person's Dark Energy is more functional."

"Call him 'Lord Jiu'."

He was a Middle-Aged Man who appeared refined and cultured.

"He prefers to hide and do nothing to avoid being discovered by the Mortal Domain."

"The two of them have some conflicting ideas. The person who spread the rumors last time was sent by 'Lord Hao,' and the person who killed Pavilion Master Zhou was also 'Lord Hao's' man. At that time, Lord Jiu tried to bribe Pavilion Master Zhou, offering ten million Eerie Stone. While they were negotiating, Lord Hao sent his men." Chen Fan did not speak.

After sitting quietly in the chair for a long time, he finally stood up, looked at the villagers kneeling on the ground, and said softly.

"Take him downstairs and settle him in properly."

"And, and more."

The villager spoke again, somewhat urgently. "Those with weaker Dark Energy in their bodies have been deeply brainwashed, and we can't get anything out of them. If we can catch Lord Hao and Lord Jiu, we can definitely pry their mouths open."

"Lord Hao's individual strength is extremely high."

"He also has a puppet, which he created over the years by collecting the Dark Energy from the bodies of many Night Awakeners and using their corpses. It's called 'The Butcher,' and Pavilion Master Zhou died at the Subordinate 'The Butcher.'"

"Back then, that Mortal Domain Member who called me the Great Night Awakeners, I remembered his member number: District 17, 94280." New Continent.

The Continent Lord Hao Mao Continent was sitting cautiously in the Reception Room, tentatively asking the Mortal Domain Member had led him there, "Is that Despair Continent a bit troublesome? That's why I came here. Is there anything I can do to help?"

As the Continent Lord.

Such caution towards a Mortal Domain Member is indeed quite rare.

Three days ago.

He received a notification from the Mortal Domain to the outside world and learned about what was happening on the "Despair Continent".

He set off immediately, wanting to lend a hand and also to improve his standing with the Mortal Domain. Although he couldn't offer much help due to the distance and the fact that his logistical support couldn't reach such a far place, his attitude was commendable.

Only.

After arriving in the New Continent.

He clearly sensed that the atmosphere had become extremely awkward.

There wasn't a trace of a smile on the faces of any Mortal Domain Member; instead, their expressions carried a chilling coldness, clearly indicating that something had gone wrong within the Mortal Domain.

Which insignificant continent dares to provoke the Mortal Domain?

Even so, the Mortal Domain shouldn't act like this. Is there any force in this Sea Domain capable of defeating the Mortal Domain?

The Mortal Domain Member did not speak, but simply pointed to a newspaper on the table.

The title is extremely eye-catching.

"Zhou Mo, the Pavilion Master the Mortal Domain War Pavilion, died in battle."

Hao Mao's heart skipped a beat, a flicker of horror and fear flashing in his eyes. Zhou Mo was dead? The Pavilion Master of the Mortal Domain?

This is no small fry.

One of the key figures in the Mortal Domain.

Dead?

He finally understood why the atmosphere inside the Mortal Domain was like this. He subconsciously held his breath, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, but his doubts only grew. What kind of force was the "Night Awakeners"? He had never heard of this continent in this Sea Domain, and how dare they!

How dare they attack the Mortal Domain!

How many heads does it have?!

The newspaper also described the characteristics of the "Night Awakeners": left-handed, with his right arm capable of unleashing tremendous power.

"Fine."

Hao Mao breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was right-handed. However, this "Night Awakeners" was so dangerous. He would have to investigate thoroughly when he got back to see if there were any Night Awakeners on his continent.

Aside from the initial tea and newspapers brought to him by Mortal Domain Member, no one else entertained him.

However, he showed no dissatisfaction.

He forced himself to finish a cup of tea before hurriedly leaving the Reception Room to say goodbye.

This is the Mortal Domain at this time.

It's best to avoid coming here too often, to avoid getting into trouble.

Go back quickly.

The entire Eternal Night Continent has been completely sealed off.

They are trapped in a deadly situation.

One of the two leaders, "Lord Hao," was the first to be exposed and was surrounded in the "Uninhabited Desert" in the Northern Region of the Eternal Night Continent.

It was surrounded by dozens of Flying Boat.

Covered in wounds, Lord Hao looked up at the Flying Boat surrounding him with eyes full of resentment and despair. His Subordinate were either dead or captured, and only "Butcher" was still following behind him.

"Charge! Charge out!"

In desperation, he gave the Butcher the order to charge once more.

However

This three-meter-tall monster, emanating a thick black aura and bound by Iron Chains, and pieced together from countless corpses, had just leaped into the air, raising its spiked club to smash the nearest Flying Boat.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The "Godslayer Cannon" on dozens of Flying Boat roared together, their Scarlet Glow slamming the Butcher heavily into the ground. Already wounded multiple times, it could not withstand this blow and fell completely apart.

The power of the Butcher.

It's nothing compared to a top-tier, fully-equipped Flying Boat in the Mortal Domain.

"Capture alive."

Standing on the deck, King Mazi looked at Lord Hao, who was struggling in his death throes, and gave the order expressionlessly.

Instantly.

Countless iron nets were laid down, tightly binding Lord Hao within them.

Soon

One by one, the "Night Awakeners" were captured.

Some were reported by the public, some were arrested on the spot while trying to take the High-Speed Rail, and some were dealt with by the Shadow Pavilion after taking hostages.

Typical characteristics of left-handed people.

When the power of the Mortal Domain is fully mobilized, there is nowhere to escape.

The search operation lasted for seven days.

The entire Eternal Night Continent was turned upside down. All left-handed people were arrested, and their right arms were pierced one by one for identification. More and more "Night Awakeners" were captured, but the "Lord Jiu" was nowhere to be found.

Lord Hao has already confessed.

Lord Jiu's ability is to enter the "Dark Space," which is why no one noticed the Butcher's open appearance at the mine that day. The search continues.

Humans need to eat, drink, and sleep.

Every action leaves a flaw.

Jiangbei Wasteland, Mortal City.

The political center of the Mortal Domain, the most prosperous City on the Eternal Night Continent, and the City where the Mortal Domain originated.

Lord Jiu was hiding in the Sewer, his mouth dry and his eyes blurry from not having eaten or drunk anything for a long time. He was holding a few copies of the Mortal Domain Daily he had picked up and was trembling as he looked at the lines of reports.

"On March 7th, in the second year of the Eternal Night New Calendar, Zhou Mo, the Pavilion Master the Mortal Domain War Pavilion, died in battle at the hands of the Night Awakeners."

"On March 8th, in the second year of the Eternal Night New Calendar, the Mortal Domain entered a state of highest alert, with the entire continent undergoing a thorough search."

"On March 9th, in the year 2 of the Eternal Night New Calendar, as autumn leaves fell, the seventh batch of ' Night Awakeners were apprehended."

On March 11th, 2002 (Eternal Night New Calendar), Lord Hao, one of the leaders of the "Night Awakeners," was captured, Butcher was destroyed.

"Eternal Night New Calendar Year 02..."

Lord Jiu looked at the reports, gave a bitter smile, leaned against the wall, put the newspaper aside, and took out a Wotou he had stolen on his escape route from his pocket, gently stroking it.

He was so hungry he was dizzy, and this Wotou was the only food he had left.

How did things get to this point?

He had clearly told Lord Hao many times not to alert them, not to let the Mortal Domain notice them, yet he insisted on spreading those rumors. He was still negotiating with Zhou Mo.

Then Lord Hao sent the Butcher.

There was no chance for him to negotiate. Even if they were to take action, they could have beaten him half to death, giving them enough time to escape. Why go for the kill? The Mortal Domain sealed off the continent the moment Zhou Mo's Life Tablet shattered.

There was nowhere to escape.

His Subordinate have all been captured.

He alone survived multiple searches using the "Dark Space" technique powered by Dark Energy, eventually escaping into "Mortal City." The most dangerous place is the safest place, but now the Dark Energy has been exhausted, and the Dark Space can no longer be opened.

He's waiting.

We need to find a way to integrate transportation vehicles. The Mortal Domain cannot be cut off from all transportation to the outside world indefinitely; it will eventually be restored.

We must leave the Eternal Night Continent.

I can't stay here any longer.

Perhaps he was blinded by hunger, but he felt that the latest newspaper in his hand was slightly thicker than the others, and that eating it would surely fill his stomach. He subconsciously picked up the newspaper that was already soaking in sewage.

Soaked in sewage.

It's somewhat damp and soft.

The edges of the newspaper were curling up, and the lettering on the surface was slowly spreading, revealing the layers underneath.

He saw it.

He saw a thin layer of yellow paper, as thin as a cicada's wing, with "Formation Pattern" drawn on it that he couldn't understand.

He froze for a moment, staring blankly at the yellow paper tucked inside the newspaper.

I don't know why.

The noisy street overhead was rapidly fading away until it became utterly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Is that so?

Lord Jiu suddenly gave a bitter laugh, looked down at the Wotou he had been reluctant to eat these past few days, and swallowed Wotou bit by bit with extremely careful yet extremely greedy movements.

It's a bit dry.

He ate so much that blood welled up in his throat.

Only after finishing a whole steamed Wotou did he get up, push open the manhole cover, and awkwardly climb out of the Sewer to stand on the street. Dozens of Mortal Domain Member were aiming at him with Ice-Cold and wary expressions, holding "Pocket Cannon."

The two Flying Boat in the air had already aimed their Godslayer Cannon at him.

Not far away.

A large number of Mortal Domain Member could be seen rapidly dispersing the nearby crowd.

He knew he was finished.

In fact.

Ever since he learned that the deceased Mortal Domain Member was Pavilion Master Zhou Mo, he knew that he was finished. The Night Awakeners, who had been lurking on the Eternal Night Continent for thousands of years, were finished. They had waited so long, and finally the "Thunderstorm Sea" shattered.

We just need to wait for the Night Awakeners forces from other Sea Domain to arrive here.

They can then repair the Tower of Babel, travel to the Beyond Heaven, and establish their own kingdom Night Awakeners.

But at the last moment, all their efforts were in vain.

If the Mortal Domain Member died hadn't been Zhou Mo, or had only been seriously injured, he might have had a chance to escape the Eternal Night Continent.

Only.

There's no point in saying more now that things have come to this.

"Hello."

He raised his hands, squinting, the sunlight blinding him, and said with a bitter laugh, "Is that yellow paper Positioning Formation? So many daily Daily Report are found in the Mortal Domain day, how did it happen to find me?"

"Have I been having such bad luck lately?"

The Mortal Domain Member surrounding them made way for them.

King Mazi strode over, bound his hands with an Iron Chains, and then calmly said, "The Domain Lord said that what fugitives need most is not food or water, but access to information about the outside world."

He said, "You'll definitely want to read the newspaper."

"The locations of all Mortal Domain Daily are displayed on the 'Heavenly Derivation Display.' Locations in remote or concealed areas will immediately notify nearby Mortal Domain Member to conduct arrest operations."

"We made 3,792 ineffective arrests."

This is the 3793rd time.

You're not just unlucky.

"When you killed Zhou Mo, you should have known that no matter where you were in the mortal realm, Mortal Domain would find you."

The Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain.

Lord Jiu was brought before Chen Fan.

Chen Fan sat on a wooden chair, holding a cup of tea, while in the open Open Ground in front of him, thousands of people were bound by Iron Chains and kneeling on the ground. "Young Master."

The Crippled Monkey whispered, "All the Night Awakeners have been captured, a total of 3,789 people."

There are both men and women.

There were both old and young people.

Some memories have been awakened, while others have not.

"Lord Hao" was also kneeling among them, cursing loudly with a face full of despair and resentment, spewing out vulgarities, but no Mortal Domain Member stepped forward to shut him up, and let him curse as he pleased.

On the left.

A coffin made of gold-threaded wood by the Logistics Pavilion was placed on the ground, and Zhou Mo, disguised, lay inside.

His cheeks were pale, and his eyes were tightly closed.

The torn parts of the body have been stitched back together.

"I've long heard of Domain Lord Chen's name, but this is the first time I've seen him in person."

Upon witnessing this scene, Lord Jiu, who had been brought along, felt somewhat relieved and said with a smile, "One should be a hero."

Chen Fan waited patiently, his eyes lowered.

Another Incense Stick's time passed.

The Crippled Monkey stepped forward again and whispered, "Young Master, the time has come."

Chen Fan put down his teacup, took the Pocket Hand Cannon from the Crippled Monkey, walked behind the first "Night Awakeners" kneeling on the ground, pointed the gun at the back of his head, and slowly pulled the trigger with little emotion on his face.

"Bang."

Gunshots rang out, blood splattered everywhere, and the body slammed heavily to the ground.

He continued walking towards the next person.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

Gunshots rang out rhythmically on the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain. All the Mortal Domain Senior Official and a large number of Mortal Domain Member gathered here and silently watched this scene. In the vast Open Ground, only Chen Fan walked alone.

Every gunshot rang out.

This marked the end of an era for a Night Awakeners.

The gunfire stopped.

The Eerie Stone are exhausted.

The Crippled Monkey immediately presented a new Pocket Cannon.

Gunshots rang out again.

One sound after another.

Chen Fan remained as calm as an Ice-Cold robot, executing the Night Awakeners kneeling on the ground one by one without letting any Mortal Domain Member lift a finger; he did it all himself.

But when only one Night Awakeners remained...

Chen Fan's eyes were bloodshot, and he could no longer suppress his emotions. He pulled a Great Knife from the Crippled Monkey's arms, his face contorted with rage, and roared with heart-wrenching pain as he slashed at the Night Awakeners!

One cut.

Two cuts, three cuts.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining his Green Robe red.

In the silent open Open Ground, only Chen Fan's heart-wrenching, furious roar could be heard.

Standing to the side, Lord Jiu watched this scene unfold, his legs trembling uncontrollably, a hint of fear surfacing deep in his eyes.

Listen carefully.

Covered in blood, Chen Fan walked up to Lord Jiu, grabbed him by the collar, and said in a hoarse voice, his eyes bloodshot, "From this day forward, the Mortal Domain will spare no effort to kill every 'Night Awakeners' in this Heaven and Earth!"

"Remember."

"All of them!"

"You are the first batch, but you will definitely not be the last!"

"I will personally execute all Night Awakeners!"

"I... I..."

Lord Jiu took a deep breath and forced a somewhat strained smile, "I have some ancient secrets, if you..."

"Shh, shh"

Chen Fan put a finger to his lips, shook his head, and grinned, his eyes red-rimmed. "Don't say it, please don't say it. I don't want to know what your purpose is. I only know one thing."

"The end has come for you 'Night Awakeners'."

"Prepare to welcome the Eternal Night that belongs exclusively to you, the 'Night Awakeners'."

"I will make the words 'Mortal Domain' the most terrifying nightmare in the deepest memories of you Night Awakeners."

I will definitely take you all back.

"Kill them all."

He took the Pocket Cannon from the Crippled Monkey and pressed it against Lord Jiu's forehead.

"Bang."

He murmured something softly.

His head exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.

The site fell silent once more, save for the thousands of corpses lying in pools of blood. A gentle breeze carried the thick stench of blood through the air. In the distance, three "Rebirth Tower" were slowly emitting light.

Under the watchful eyes of all Mortal Domain Member.

Chen Fan walked somewhat absentmindedly and stumbled along the coffin placed beside him. He stared at the corpse lying inside for a long time before finally taking out pieces of broken Wooden Board wrapped in silk from his pocket and placing them next to the body.

Then he crushed another Heavenly Fortune and put it into its mouth.

Heavenly Fortune couldn't increase the chances of reviving on the Rugged Island, but he simply couldn't accept that Zhou Mo had left him like this.

Then.

He then took out an Image Recording Stone from his pocket, forced a smile, and placed it beside him.

"You."

"This is Image Recording of you crying last time. I was planning to make fun of you next time we're drinking."

"You're quite shrewd; you don't even give anyone a chance to laugh at you."

Mortal Domain Member stepped forward, closed the coffin, and nailed it shut.

A flag was draped over the coffin, bearing the emblem of the Mortal Domain.

After taking a deep breath, the Crippled Monkey roared, "Lift the coffin!"

Today is cloudy, with no sunshine.

The route from the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain to "Mortal Domain Harbor" was crowded with civilians. War Pavilion Members, their eyes red with anger, roared in formation, "Send off the Pavilion Master!"

The people neither wept nor cried out.

I only do one thing: turn on the lights.

Each person carries a Paper Lantern with the name of the deceased written on it, meaning that the lantern is being kept alive for you, guarding you, and watching over you until dawn. The lanterns are lit all the way from Nameless Mountain Back Mountain of the nameless mountain to the Mortal Domain Harbor.

For miles, the lights shone like a long river.

Zhou Mo was highly respected by the people. It was the Zhan Ge (War Pavilion) that Zhou Mo personally organized that ensured the safety of the people, resulting in an extremely low crime rate, to the point that almost every household could leave their doors unlocked at night.

Until they arrived at the Teleportation Formation at the Mortal Domain Harbor.

Arrive at Rugged Island via the Teleportation Formation.

Buried in the ground.

Chen Fan stood on the Rugged Island, quietly watching the entire burial process. King Mazi Crippled Monkey, and the others stood silently behind Chen Fan. Weird Emperor Jiu Wu also arrived. He had long known about the affairs within the Mortal Domain, but he could not enter the Eternal Night Continent and could only worry anxiously.

At this moment, Ghost Emperor Xiangyang, and his Military Strategist stood at the back of the crowd, watching this scene with complicated expressions.

He could completely empathize with that feeling.

I hate myself for being powerless, I hate myself for being incompetent.

"This is soil from Jiangbei."

The coffin had been laid to rest. Chen Fan stepped forward, took a handful of soil from his pocket, and sprinkled it in front of the grave. "Remember the taste of Jiangbei. Go home soon. I believe you will wake up. Before you wake up, I will cleanse this Heaven and Earth of the Night Awakeners."

"Brother."

Don't worry.

With his back to the Sea, Chen Fan whispered in the barely audible sea breeze, "I will do it."

That night.

Countless white lights illuminated the Eternal Night Continent.

Countless people are mourning Zhou Mo's death.

It was late at night and all was quiet.

The Crippled Monkey stood on the City Wall, looking at Chen Fan's back as he stood alone on the Northbank Defense Line. He didn't go forward, but just watched from afar.

"Crippled Monkey."

Tian Ce, the Finance Pavilion Master, walked to the side of the Crippled Monkey and said with some complicated feelings, "Before the incident, I checked Zhou Mo's Teleportation Formation usage routes. Most of them were used to travel to and from the Eastern Region the Eternal Night Continent. He didn't misuse the Teleportation Formation, but was secretly investigating the Night Awakeners."

"Should we speak to the Domain Lord?"

It doesn't matter anymore.

The Crippled Monkey shook his head and said softly.

He was worried that this matter would be a big blow to the Domain Lord current state was very abnormal.

King Mazi, Little Qiu, and a few others had also gathered here at some point.

They had all survived the Rainy Season, and the sudden loss of one of them was something they found hard to accept.

"We made it through the Rainy Season, how could we suddenly give up here?"

Little Qiu murmured.

In fact, they had always felt quite sorry for Zhou Mo. Although they would bicker a few times every day, everyone knew that of the group that went out to explore during the Rainy Season, only Zhou Mo's Trusted Aide died.

This resulted in Zhou Mo being all alone in the Mortal Domain afterward.

For example, Wang Kui and Little Qiu.

Long ago, Little Qiu was Wang Kui's Subordinate, so even though they later each took charge of a different pavilion, the Logistics Pavilion was always very proactive in responding to the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion's requests.

Just then

Chen Fan walked down from the City Wall and saw King Mazi and the others gathered together. He grinned and said, "What are you all doing here? Okay, stop looking at me like that."

"Zhou Mo isn't completely dead."

"I have a feeling he might be resurrected on Rugged Island tomorrow."

"Did you leave Message Talisman in the coffin?"

"Forget it, it's fine if we didn't leave any. Zhou Mo is a level 20 martial artist after all; a coffin can't hold him."

"Go back, everyone."

"I have things to do tomorrow. After the protection period ends, we have to deal with a lot of people. Our strength is still too weak right now; we need to develop faster."

"It's still not safe enough."

No more deaths are allowed.

"It needs to be even safer."

Chen Fan ignored the others and muttered to himself in a daze as he walked towards the High-Speed Rail parked not far from the City Wall.

The next day.

The former Deputy Pavilion Master of the War Pavilion has replaced Zhou Mo as the Pavilion Master of the Mortal Domain War Pavilion.

The Logistics Pavilion has prepared a large number of Eerie Fire on the "One-Eyed Continent" and is ready to ignite them at any time.

Under the organization of the Mortal Domain Household Pavilion and the Mortal Domain Logistics Pavilion.

The entire population of the Eternal Night Continent began a grand preparation to travel through the Undersea Tunnel to the "One-Eyed Continent," where they would be showered with Golden Rain prolong their lives and to thoroughly sift through the Night Awakeners once more.

This is the safest approach.

The workload is enormous.

However, under the overarching strategy, it remained steadfastly pushed forward.

In the Mortal Domain.

There is only one supreme policy, and that is Chen Fan's decree.

Weiwei, you're still in a dormant state of evolution and have no idea what's happening in the outside world.

Huyi Continent.

The Ghost Emperor Xiangyang looked at the Mortal Domain Daily in his hand with a complicated expression. After a long while, he finally couldn't suppress his doubts and hesitated, "Boss, don't you really think Chen Fan is putting on a show?"

"One of my underlings died."

Is it really that sad?

Just as he was stretching his body to prepare for the attack of the newly formed Black Tortoise, the Ghost Emperor Ba Wu turned his head to look at Ghost Emperor Xiangyang upon hearing this. After a moment's pause, he said with some complicated emotion, "Xiangyang."

Sometimes I feel sorry for you.

"Because you've never experienced love."

Your former boss never treated you like a human being.

"I wasn't even human to begin with."

"They're all the same."

"Boss, would you be sad if I died?"

"Nature."

"Will they avenge me, just like they did in the Mortal Domain?"

The Ghost Emperor Ba Wu laughed and pointed to his Military Strategist preparing a beggar's meal in the corner, "A long time ago, a very Greater Wraith clan wanted to attack us, so we surrendered. But that guy killed my Military Strategist."

"Guess what I did."

"I grabbed that guy and pointed out the Coordinates for bombing this pillar to the Mortal Domain."

"Perish together."

"At the time, I didn't know I was some kind of Dark Sacred Physique. All I knew was that killing my brother meant paying with blood."

"Get moving."

"The Black Tortoise is coming soon; this used to be my daily entertainment."

After meeting Chen Fan last time and establishing Ba Wu Pavilion, he boldly made a request: could the Illusory Black Tortoise return? Now, he and Xiangyang, along with Wu Lao's subordinate Ghost Emperor, each have their own exclusive Illusory Black Tortoise.

I can go for my morning run again.

"To live a long life, you must be fast."

After leaving behind his final words of advice, Jiu Wu glanced at the Illusory Black Tortoise rushing towards him in the distance, then ran off with practiced ease. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!!"

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out from the Nameless area. Several Logistics Pavilion Member, carrying the unconscious Keke, rushed out of the Teleportation Formation and into the pit, shouting, "Keke is unconscious! We've run out of Holy Water!"

The sound fell.

After Incense Stick.

Chen Fan strode over, his brows furrowed as he looked at the unconscious Keke. Members of the Medicine King Valley were quickly watering Keke with Holy Water from the Altar and examining her injuries.

"Domain Lord."

Little Qiu quickly reported, "When the Logistics Pavilion Member were setting up the Eerie Fire on the 'One-Eyed Continent,' they discovered Keke, who was unconscious with a 'Pick-Up Sculpture' on her back. The sculpture... was still pressing down on Keke."

"The Logistics Pavilion Member cleared the battlefield on the One-Eyed Continent have already withdrawn."

Keke did not evacuate with the others.

Chen Fan frowned deeply.

He remembered.

At the time, Keke wanted to carry the Pick-Up Sculpture to collect supplies, so he let Keke go. Although it looked a bit difficult, after all, Keke was too small, and carrying a Pick-Up Sculpture was quite strenuous.

But he figured Keke would stop when she got tired.

I didn't expect that although I did stop, it was only because I was tired.

"Weiwei?"
