Purgatory Artist-Chapter 420: Golden Millet

Liu Ping went through the black door.

It was the same as the last time he was here.

Behind the door was a huge room that was filled with dense fog.

Layers of fog continued to fill the room, silently drifting through the dark void of space and brushing past Liu Ping's body.

Lines of burning text appeared in front of his eyes:

[Identity verified]

[Mission verified]

[You've obtained the authority to communicate with the Sequence spirit]

The fog parted to both sides.

It was now that Liu Ping regained his vision and was able to clearly see what was inside the room.

The young girl.

Sharp spikes manifested from the fog continued to extend from her back, forming a pair of large wings in the void of space.

One end of these spikes pierced deep into the void of space, while the other end pierced into the young girl's back, keeping her in place.

The young girl opened her eyes wide in confusion and muttered: "Envoy of Nightmare, you've come"

Liu Ping looked at her.

[Knowledge is as good as your name] activated.

Lines of text appeared above her head:

[Nightmare Entanglement, World Spirit,???]

[Previous Title: The One and Only Saint Spirit]

Suddenly, lines of burning text appeared next to the young girl:

[You've obtained the armor's support]

[You can see the target's Title from the past era]

[Knowledge is as good as your name's power has been promoted to the Occultism tier, it now contains the following Occultism power:]

[Golden Millet]

[When your words contain the word 'Dream', and the target responds to your words, you will be able to see the target's previous life]

Liu Ping skimmed through everything and replied without changing his expression: "Indeed, I killed that person, everything he had is now mine"

The young girl continued: "I will now add an 'Emissary' unique UI to you, from now on, you will officially begin to carry out your mission"

"Thank you" Liu Ping replied.

As soon as he said that.

A UI made of fog appeared in front of his eyes.

Countless fog gathered on the interface, condensing into lines of prompts:

[This change has been approved]

[You who came from the Origin of Nightmare will carry out the following mission:]

[Destroy the current Divine Pillar and collect the souls of all living beings]

[After completing the mission, you will become a high-ranked entity within the Origin of Nightmare, from now on, you will be able to follow the great entity's orders]

Liu Ping quickly finished reading and looked at the little girl.

The young girl replied: "Everything is going well so far, the Occultists near the Divine Pillar are continuously falling into the underground palace and becoming souls to be collected"

"What should I do next?" Liu Ping asked.

"If everything goes smoothly in the Crypt of Nightmares, you won't need to do anything, but if the Crypt of Nightmares fails, you will need to host a sacrificial ritual. By sacrificing a certain number of souls, you will be able to summon a great entity from the depths of the nightmare and request it to send down a higher-level Nightmare Card" the little girl explained.

Liu Ping was silent for a moment.

Hold on

So this was what the 'Emissary' did. It was no wonder that the first Nightmare Card, the Giant of Flesh and Blood had died, and the Umbrella Bearer had appeared.

Speaking of which ...

Why didn't the guy who was called a great existence do it himself?

Why did they have to pick out an Emissary?

Since it possessed boundless power and could destroy countless divine pillars, why couldn't it do such a simple thing?

Liu Ping pondered as he looked at the little girl not far away.

The little girl maintained this blank expression. At this moment, an indescribable emotion suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Lord Emissary, you should know how heavy your responsibility is."

Liu Ping immediately continued, "Of course, I have to take the initiative to report to the great existence when things aren't going well, after all ..."

He did not continue.

The little girl naturally continued, "Yes, before the outbreak of the Tide of Nightmares, the great existence was unable to reach the divine pillars at such a height due to their overly powerful and magnificent nightmare power."

Crucial information!

Liu Ping's heart trembled violently, but he did not show it on his face as he said, "To be able to take on a mission, this has always been my dream"

The little girl said, "Please continue to observe the progress of the Crypt of Nightmares and make adjustments with me at any time to complete the mission"

In an instant, lines of small burning words quickly appeared before Liu Ping's eyes.

[You said the word 'dream', and the other party continued your words]

[The other party has the name of the previous life: The One and Only Saint Spirit]

[The current conditions have been met. Your Occult Ability: Golden Millet has been activated]

[Do you want to immediately observe the other party's previous life?]

[This observation will not take any time]

Liu Ping silently said, "Observe!"

The room, the fog, the little girl, the wing-like spikes, all the scenes disappeared.

Countless images flashed past Liu Ping's eyes, giving him an illusion that ...

He was going back to the endless past.

He did not know when, nor where, but suddenly, he landed on the ground.

Liu Ping looked around and saw that he was standing on a huge golden mountain.

The entire world was made up of countless gold, silver, gems, and ruins.

These were the abandoned things of civilization.

The entire civilization had completely disappeared.

There were no living people.

Liu Ping saw a young man standing beside him.

The young man's body was covered with wounds and blood was constantly flowing out of his wounds. He looked extremely exhausted.

He reached out his hand and tapped repeatedly in the void, saying, "After fighting so many battles, we still couldn't defeat them. They still let them collect the souls of all living beings"

"But they don't know that this world still has one last hope"

The young man suddenly stopped and looked at Liu Ping.

He revealed a smile full of vicissitudes and said, "If you see this scene, you must remember that nightmares do not belong to living beings. We can't find any power from nightmares that can fight against them"

Liu Ping carefully observed the young man.

He suddenly realized that this was one of his previous lives.

After saying that, the young man slowly crouched down and pressed his hand on the ground.

"Living beings, all things, and the world are one"

"Using the power of nightmares is the same as giving up one's own power"

"I've already thought of a solution, but it still needs to be perfected"

Boom

His hand abruptly shook, causing the entire world to tremble as well.

The golden mountain collapsed to both sides, revealing a deep crack in the ground.

The young man loudly called out: "Come out, I know you're here"

He hovered in the air, silently waiting for a while until all the commotion subsided. Then he took a deep breath and loudly called out: "Come out, this world has already been destroyed. You have to come with me, otherwise, you will also fall into eternal slumber!"

The young man's voice came from afar, turning into a fading echo.

A few moments later.

From the crack in the ground, a flash of light slowly flew into the sky.

The light manifested into the appearance of a little girl, nervously looking at the young man.

"Dragon?" the young man asked.

"Yes." the little girl answered.

"How difficult, if you want to live, then come with me." the young man said.

"I ... can't leave, I'm not strong enough" the little girl answered.

"Don't worry, I can take you with me"

Saying so, the young man took out a piece of black scale and handed it to her.

The little girl asked: "What is this?"

The young man answered: "There's a world inside, I've found a way to turn an entity like you into a spirit of the world, I'm guessing"

"Becoming a spirit is the key, a spirit is the way to fight against nightmares"

The little girl bit her lip: "If I can fight against nightmares, I'm willing to become a spirit of the world"

"Let us work hard together." the young man said.

Saying so, he turned to Liu Ping.

"Then, will we succeed in the future?" the young man asked.

Liu Ping was speechless.

The young man paused, turned around, and looked at the little girl again.

"Do you think we'll succeed?" he smiled and asked.

"The nightmares killed all of my loved ones, I want revenge, we have to succeed" the little girl clenched her fist and said.

"Yes, we will definitely succeed" the young man replied.

The light dissipated with a loud bang.

Everything returned to normal.

At the very next moment, Liu Ping found himself back in that room. Nothing around him had changed, not even time had passed.

The past era ... still failed in the end.

He looked forward.

In the air in front of him, the little girl was tightly bound by countless spikes.

Even if he went past the current era and followed the river of time to look into the future ...

The Void Pillar was also destroyed.

Did the future ... also fail?

Liu Ping's eyes suddenly focused.

No.

I've already changed a lot of the past.

Even if the result hasn't changed, many things have changed.

Those who went to Eternal Night might have fallen into slumber, but they weren't completely destroyed.

Perhaps I can do even more?

The little girl seemed to have noticed something as her gaze fell on Liu Ping's face.

"I am the Sequence Spirit of the Nightmare Underground Palace" she said.

"And now you are" Liu Ping said.

The little girl noticed the change in his tone, her gaze became a bit more spirited.

"It's been so long, do you think our mission will succeed?" she continued to ask.

Will we succeed?

Will we succeed?

Liu Ping went silent for a moment, then spoke: "That guy with the mission from before couldn't, and the power I have now is completely different, so ..."

"We'll definitely succeed this time"
