Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu didn't know that Yun Duo, as Jin Yi's closest person, was also someone the elders here had watched grow up. She had been living in the Land of No Light as far back as her memory could take her.

Naturally, she was also unaware of the concept of pioneers.

In the Land of No Light within Hechuan City in the real world, the prisoners here indeed exist in a dream state.

But their bodies continue to grow, each person lying on a node of a gigantic ritual circle.

As if they were part of activating some divine treasure.

Of course, even if someone were missing, it wouldn't affect the activation of that secret treasure during the Endless Night.

As part of the ritual circle, each person here receives a kind of basic protection from the circle.

Whether they were people who escaped here shortly after the onset of the Endless Night or those who have been struggling to survive in Hechuan City, once enveloped by the night, they would fall into a slumber.

After falling asleep, their souls, or consciousness, would enter the dream of the Endless Night.

Their bodies would lay completely still in the darkness, but they continued to grow.

Therefore, for Jin Yi and Yun Duo, they are the youths who have grown up in the dark.

Thus, Yun Duo was unaware that in the outside world, there really was something called the moon.

Jin Yi, on the other hand, had heard about it from his own mother. However, his mother eventually became one of the dark beings.

Dark beings are those who have abandoned everything, have no hope for life, and can no longer emit the slightest light.

These people would voluntarily go to another place, lie on the desolate land, and do nothing, as if they had died long ago.

Over time, their souls would rot completely and become a part of the night. Their physical bodies in reality would also be directly absorbed by the gods' treasure.

What the Endless Night aims to do is to let the darkness, which can devour the light to strengthen itself, cover the entire world.

To become a god but also to be an existence even more powerful than the seven Demon Emperors—the king and ruler of the Advanced World.

...

...

Transfer station.

In the transfer station, there are many things that pioneers cannot share.

But in fact, as long as they have Advanced Points, pioneers can also build many channels of communication.

The public area is where all the pioneers chat, and there are also guild areas, leader areas, and privy areas...

But in fact, there is also an extremely secret area called the Intermediaries' Area.

That is where only the intermediaries can chat.

The nine major intermediaries would regularly exchange information, discussing promising new competitors and certain timeline-related matters.

On Zhou Baiyu's twenty-ninth day in the Endless Night area, the intermediary of the Time and Space God, a fourth-tier Master of Time Abyss named Jing Shi, called a meeting.

Unlike the situation of the pioneers, when the nine intermediaries entered this channel, they could see each other's transfer station layout.

But when they enter the channel, the time they have to interact with each other is limited.

"Jing Shi, what exactly has happened? To suddenly gather us all—you should know that we have only so many opportunities to meet, and we lose one every time we use one," said the intermediary of the God of Strength and Destruction, a fourth-tier Mountain Breaker—Yan Gu, known as Sea Breaker.

Though an intermediary, Yan Gu was not on the path of an Overlord, but rather followed the most primitive route of advancing through Mountain Break, Sea Break, Sky Cut, and Collapsing Star.

The other intermediaries didn't speak, except for Lin who said:

"It seems that the abnormality in my little brother has been noticed by you after all. You really live up to your reputation, Jing Shi."

Jing Shi was expressionless:

"Lin, put away your jokes, you know the seriousness of this matter. Did you have anything to do with this?"

Mo Sangyu frowned, not knowing what had happened, but as the inheritor of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, he quickly realized which issue was in question.

"Is there a problem with the timeline?"

"Yes," Jing Shi nodded.

The rest of the intermediaries also showed grave expressions.

They all understood that a legendary newcomer had recently appeared under Lin's command.

This newcomer had been scoring triple-S ratings, causing many events' starting points to become unalterable. It also had a not so major, yet not so minor, impact on the future.

When Jing Shi admitted there was a problem with the timeline, and Lin said it was related to her newcomer, this was no small matter.

"What exactly is going on? Jing Shi, stop beating around the bush and explain it quickly," urged Yan Gu.

Mo Sangyu also looked at Jing Shi.

Jing Shi slowly said:

"You should be aware. Timelines have certain patterns, assuming pioneers do not exist."

"That is to say, apart from those areas with S-rank assessments and higher, it is basically assumed that pioneers do not exist in all other areas."

"For example, not long ago, Lin, the newcomer under you named Jiang Xianwu cleared the cruise ship area. Although the area boss An Ya was aware of the existence of pioneers, her own timeline did not involve any pioneers."

"So if no pioneer had appeared, then An Ya would take the cruise ship to Songjiang City, and shortly after, she would meet her death."

"Every area, every call to arms, is based on the assumption that there are no pioneers. But there is a timeline that has a problem—this timeline assumes the existence of pioneers."

Lin exhaled smoke and said:

"You mean the Endless Night."

Mo Sangyu realized:

"I see."

Yan Gu was stunned:

"What do you get?"

Mo Sangyu's face showed surprise:

"Jing Shi, are you talking about the Reverser who killed Da Feng Qi Xi?"

Jing Shi had to admire Mo Sangyu's intelligence:

"Jiang Xianwu, also known as Lin's newcomer, is very closely related to that Reverser's body."
