Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"Jiang Xianwu's challenge of the Endless Night was much harder than the 2.23 version, if he fails—"

Before Mo Sangyu could finish, Sister Lin abruptly knocked her pipe.

Bang!

A crisp sound interrupted Mo Sangyu's speech.

Sister Lin coldly swept her gaze over everyone, no longer the languid air of past days:

"I bet my rookie can stop the eternal night. Meeting over."

Sister Lin's figure vanished, she actually directly exited the intermediary's channel.

The other intermediaries looked at each other, Mo Sangyu spoke:

"Why is she still as domineering as before?"

Yan Gu shook his head:

"She smokes, she drinks, it looks like she does nothing serious, but if you really take her for an ambitious-less lazy woman, then you are utterly mistaken. Don't forget, she has always been powerful."

Mo Sangyu nodded, he certainly wouldn't underestimate any old god system's inheritor.

In the end, he still exchanged a look with Jing Shi.

Both of them showed a grave expression. If there was a problem with the timeline, nobody knew what consequences it would cause.

But for now, it seemed there was no way to stop it.

Just what makes that timeline assume the existence of a forerunner? Why is it so special?

...

...

Linxian City. The fifty-fifth day of Zhou Baiyu's disappearance.

During these days, Zhang Haoyun's mood grew more violent day by day. Guang Tongchen kept comforting Haoyun and also shared many things with him.

Luckily, Zhang Haoyun was of a corrupt breed, not considered human, otherwise Guang Tongchen might have already been erased by the rules.

But everyone knew, Zhang Haoyun was on the verge of collapse.

Ling Hansu cried quietly every night, although she hadn't known Zhou Baiyu for long. The multiple times Zhou Baiyu had rescued her, she had never forgotten.

She never hurt anyone in her life. If she really did harm anyone, it was solely for self-preservation, forcibly causing Zhou Baiyu to save her.

Even if it largely depended on sheer luck.

Constantin had never imagined, such a legendary forerunner, a man able to tame demon lord-level monsters...

Would just die like that.

Yes, the time had passed more than a month, nearly two months, this already indicated many problems.

Zhou Baiyu had never stayed in one area for so long before.

Despite having absolute faith in Zhou Baiyu, two months without return was enough for people to imagine the saddest possibilities.

Zhou Baiyu's parents were worried too.

Luckily, Ms. Wang Shufen and Mr. Zhou Zeshui were not the kind of people who demanded frequent meetings.

They differed from Zhang Haoyun, whose emotional control needed seeing Zhou Baiyu in person.

Whereas Zhou Baiyu's parents, probably just needed to chat on a social app, weave some tales about current situations, they were largely indifferent and seldom inquired too much.

But what if Zhou Baiyu really never returned?

What during New Year conversations? What if Zhou's father and mother really wanted to see Zhou Baiyu?

Guang Tongchen and Jing Shi were both clear, the longer there was no news of Zhou Baiyu, the higher the likelihood was that he could not return.

On the fifty-fifth day of Zhou Baiyu's disappearance, Jing Shi said:

"The deaths from worm vomiting are increasing, this issue is gradually gaining attention, but we are all ordinary people, in the real world, we possess at most some unique traits."

"To tackle the mastermind behind the scenes, we only have Zhang Haoyun. But current Zhang Haoyun... can he still be considered a teammate? Without Zhou Baiyu, he himself is a ticking time bomb."

"And you and I both are well aware of the likelihood... that Zhou Baiyu may not come back."

Guang Tongchen thought indeed so, but they could only keep dragging on, either until Zhou Baiyu returned, or till the day everything burst forth.

...

...

Land of No Light.

Time passed bit by bit, Zhou Baiyu's body had already become noticeably thinner since entering the Land of No Light.

Losing hope, losing faith, or rather being overly exhausted, large expenditures of physical energy in dreams, all could make one's dream body turn much skinnier.

Many dark races before becoming dark races, were thin to the bone.

Zhou Baiyu was not without hope, rather, in these two months, his physical expenditure had been huge.

But it was all worth it.

The watcher Luo Hui, over the past few months, continually cooperated with Zhou Baiyu.

Any slight movements, any needs Zhou Baiyu had for item analysis, whether the current Night Demons had undergone any changes, the current state of everyone in the Land of No Light.

As long as Zhou Baiyu asked, Luo Hui would answer. Even if that bed had already lost its durability.

Even if he still appeared cold as ice, reiterating over and over that he would not help Jiang Xianwu, would not partake in Jiang Xianwu's plans.

Gatherer Wu Xin, in the span of two months, gathered lifescripts thirty-seven times.

According to him, he needed a three-day interval for each gathering.

According to him, he absolutely did not want any causality with Jiang Xianwu, did not want to go to a battle with no chance of winning.

But his words were one thing, his actions another. He was still struggling, expecting nothing, asking no reasons.

Jiang Xianwu never explained anything, until he achieved decisive results, he would not dare to promise anything before anyone other than Yun Duo.

In two months, Wu Xin should have been able to gather lifescripts twenty times at most, yet he recklessly gathered lifescripts thirty-seven times.

In fact, seventeen times were "auspicious lifescripts", twenty times were "ominous lifescripts".
