Until — —
Until what?
Why can't I remember what happened after that?
Liu Ping closed his eyes and tried his best to recall that scene and that sentence.
But everything became blurry.
"No … I can't remember …"
Liu Ping only felt a deep sense of despair — —
This emotion doesn't belong to the current me.
It comes from the past.
In the past, despair has always been with me.
Until — —
— — until what?
A lifetime has passed.
Everything has been forgotten.
I can no longer recall the events of my previous life.
Liu Ping's entire body was covered in cold sweat. He felt as if he could not catch his breath. It was as if his entire body was falling continuously.
— — darkness.
Everything has been eroded by darkness and despair, unable to escape or resist.
Suddenly.
A voice that seemed to have traveled through the endless years echoed in his ears again:
"Until you find me"
Liu Ping was stunned.
Find …
You?
The voice continued:
"Having lost all your powers, you might become a slave of the Divinities, or be exiled into the Eternal Night, struggling to escape from those endless monsters, falling into an irrecoverable situation at any time"
"— — Until you find me"
Liu Ping took a deep breath and silently asked in his mind: "Who are you?"
Just as he was thinking about this, the image of the past suddenly became a little clearer.
Light and shadows appeared all around him, endless blood and light filled the air, as if the scene from a long time ago was replaying itself.
Although he still couldn't see everything clearly — —
However, the voice became clearer and sounded like a woman's voice.
"All the evil creatures of the Purgatory are afraid of me being reborn …"
Her voice resounded from afar, making it hard to tell what it was:
"They will definitely seal my body in the deepest part of the Eternal Night world, or the highest part of the Purgatory world"
"Come and find me"
"— — I will always wait for you to come"
As soon as the voice disappeared, it exploded in Liu Ping's mind, repeating itself over and over again.
I will always wait for you to come.
Wait for you to come.
Wait for you — —
He finally realized that this was the deepest memory of his previous life, a scene that he would never forget no matter what.
At the very next moment.
The memories that were deeply imprinted in his soul stopped.
All the memories disappeared in an instant, all the illusions and voices were cut off.
Dead silence.
"Liu Ping"
A voice sounded by his ear.
Liu Ping shuddered and said subconsciously, "I'm here."
He looked around.
This was the Land of Exile, the grassland of the imperial cemetery of the imperial capital.
It was as if those memories only flashed through his mind for an instant before disappearing without a trace, never to exist again.
The spirit attached to Hua Qingkong continued.
"Liu Ping, you have to speed up. Otherwise, once a devil escapes from the Land of Exile, everything will be over."
"Can we stop all of this if we gather all of the Core Cards?" Liu Ping asked subconsciously.
"That's right. Once we find all the Core Cards, we will be able to restart the Sequence World and allow the prison to regain its power —"
"All corpse insects and evil creatures will be locked up in the prison room again."
Liu Ping asked, "Can't they escape again?"
The spirit spoke with a meaningful tone: " No, perhaps they will escape again after a while, but at the very least, we've won some time "
Buy time.
Liu Ping was silent.
Yes …
Whether it was to become stronger or to find the owner of that voice, it would take time.
He flipped his hand and took out the Withering Coffin.
Lines of burning text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[You've activated the 'fetters of Fate']
[Card: Withering Coffin]
[This was once a legendary card. All of its power is used to preserve the soul of the person who was buried until the moment of death]
[Shackles Card: Soul Retrieval Ring]
[The Withering Coffin and the Soul Retrieval Ring resonated with each other, they were legendary Cards that allowed the deceased to retain all of their strength. Under certain conditions, they would be able to influence each other]
[— — -after a certain event, the coffin returned to the tomb. The last time it saw the ring was at the Northernmost sea of the Sequence World, the ring was sealed deep within the sea]
Liu Ping fell into thought.
The Holy Cathedral.
The Witch's Tome.
The Withering Coffin.
The Soul Retrieval Ring.
These Cards seemed to be connected to reveal a certain secret.
As for the Saint Spirit's blood …
Liu Ping took out the Saint Spirit's blood and activated the Shackles of fetters again.
Another line of burning text appeared:
[This is the purest Saint Spirit's blood. It is a material Card that has been sealed since the day it was created, never to be used]
[Fetters Card: None]
Material Card.
Because it is a material that has never been used, it can't be bound?
"Alright, I'm going to head to the Northernmost sea now — —"
Saying so, Liu Ping put his hand on the Card Book and muttered: "Summon Cards"
Two Cards appeared out of thin air, hovering above the Card Book.
One of them was Yana.
The other was Zhao Chanyi — —
Zhao Chanyi had turned into a white cat, her fur was a mess, her ears were drooping, her paws were covering her eyes, looking like she wasn't in good shape at all.
"What's going on?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.
Bam!
Yana came out from the Card and stood in front of Liu Ping.
She calmly spoke: "The plan was very successful, She should be able to level up very soon, but I flew too fast so she might be a bit tired — — let her rest, what are we going to do now?"
"To the Northernmost sea" Liu Ping replied.
Yana hugged him and quickly said: "Let's go"
"Wait a minute, the Cards aren't ready yet — —"
Boom!
Yana's body gave off a golden glow, as if she was about to activate [Levitation].
Liu Ping hurriedly put the Cards and Card Book away.
At the very next moment.
The golden glow shot up into the sky, heading towards the North.
…
The sea.
Above the boundless sea.
A golden glow came from afar and suddenly stopped above a certain part of the sea.
The Forest Banshee's voice came:
"I've sensed that core Card, it's right here — — deep within the sea"
"Is that so? Then, we're going to head down to the sea to find that Card "Yana said.
Liu Ping scowled and spoke: "My lady, I remember you once told me that every core Card of the Sequence has one sealing authority"
"That's right, last time, to avoid that evil creature, I brought you out" the Forest Banshee replied.
"Now that I have 5 core Cards, your authority has already been used, so I can seal this Sequence world 4 more times"
"Yes"
"Will they need time to seal this world?"
"If the situation is urgent, you can activate two core Cards at once, the double sealing will only take a split second to complete"
"In other words, you'll need to use the sealing authority of two Cards at once"
"Yes"
Liu Ping's eyebrows relaxed.
"What are you worried about?" Yana curiously asked.
"Although that evil creature went to deal with the insect, I still feel a bit uneasy — — do you still remember how hysterical it was?" Liu Ping asked.
"Yes, but we've already killed the King of Corpse Insects, so the insect's power should have already been weakened … I can't understand what it's afraid of" Yana replied.
Liu Ping's eyes flickered and muttered: "Come, let's head down to the sea"
"No, wait here" Yana said.
She let go of Liu Ping's arms and smiled at him:
"A level 15 knight, you don't need to go down"
Saying so, Yana turned around and dove down into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
Liu Ping had no choice but to hover above the sea by himself.
His levitation technique was only level 1, so when the wind blew, he had to sway for a while before stabilizing himself.
"Hah, it's fine if I go down with her"
Liu Ping complained.
The Forest Banshee smiled: "You're worried about the situation, but she's worried about you"
"Seems like besides Zhao Chanyi, I also need to level up as soon as possible" Liu Ping said.
He suddenly realized something.
"— — -right, I wonder how much EXP Zhao Chanyi has left before she can level up"
The Card was taken out.
Bam!
As soon as the Card was taken out, a white cat impatiently jumped out of the Card and quickly wrapped herself around Liu Ping's neck, burying its head on his shoulder whimpering.
"Ah? What happened to you? "
Liu Ping stroked the cat's head and asked in surprise.
"My EXP increased by a full 90%, meow!" the white cat's eyes were red, as if it had just cried.
"Increased by that much? That's a good thing — — your Tribulation is about to end "Liu Ping was surprised.
"Meow meow, she's bullying me! She's flying too fast! "
…
At another location.
A barren and dry plain.
The evil creatures had retreated far away.
The three-headed skeleton stood alone in the middle of the plain, motionless.
It muttered in an extremely low voice:
"I am … the Devil King … no one can command me …"
After a pause.
When it was about to say something else, it let out an insect cry.
" No! I am the great Devil King of Purgatory, not an insect, not a parasite on your rotten body " the skeleton hurriedly said.
As soon as it said that, it let out another cry:
" Kuu — — "
"No!
I am a devi — — "
It suddenly stopped.
After a while.
It opened its mouth, its voice suddenly turned into a strange screech:
" — — I am the Insect King, that's right, I am the Insect King "
A second later, its voice slowly became stable, as if it had already gotten used to speaking.
"The dead insects of the graveyard are all my limbs, under my care … "
It knelt on the ground, letting out a rhythmic cry while looking at the evil creatures around it.
It breathed heavily.
A few moments later.
It suddenly laughed and spoke with a sinister and eerie tone:
" All living beings … are our lambs "
The three headed skeleton rolled on the ground, continuously struggling.
Its body began to change.
