Chapter 195: 120: Night of Conflagration (Super Long Chapter)_3
And—crafting tools.
Finding tools in the barren dream world was an arduous task.
To everyone, it appeared as if Jiang Xianwu had been so oppressed by the torment that he decided to find something to do.
In the whole Land of No Light, on the first layer of dreams, there were only a few things—
Houses, stones, beds.
This was the dreamscape constructed by Eternal Night according to the prisons for humans captured by the demon race, the corrupted seeds, and the pioneers.
Fortunately, in the dreamscape, consciousness bodies could use these things as tools.
Just like these prison uniforms.
So Zhou Baiyu, thinking he might need many trinkets, took apart the bed during Absolute Moment.
Anomalous entry—flexibility.
The dismantled parts, like memory metal, had a certain malleability.
Zhou Baiyu, after the anomalous transformations ended, and after daily exchanges, would tinker with these trinkets in his room.
Occasionally, he would also glance at Zhou Shou's room.
To listen and find out what Zhou Shou was doing. In the end, he discovered that Zhou Shou seemed to be truly imprisoned in the night sea of the second dream, endlessly tormented.
But it was unclear whether the mad Zhou Shou enjoyed that twisted, collapsing world.
Unlike all the others, Zhou Shou hadn't been tormented into a dark kind, but he also never woke up in the first-layer dream.
Sometimes, Zhou Baiyu felt a bit of compassion for this younger brother, but of course, he didn't plan to reminisce.
After all, he couldn't awaken Zhou Shou, and here, there were matters more important than brotherly reunions.
He just listened every time.
This was a strange state of affairs, fundamentally, he knew his name was Zhou Baiyu, and Zhou Shou had no relation to him.
But after all, he also inherited the memories of the attendant pioneer.
So the brotherly memories from their childhood, Zhou Baiyu always remembered.
He truly believed that Zhou Shou should be his younger brother, the brother he should protect.
"I will take you out of this dreamscape."
Zhou Baiyu promised, then returned to his room to continue tinkering with all sorts of trinkets.
...
...
Days passed, one by one.
Those who had received prison uniforms blocking out the light grew stronger in hope.
With Yun Duo's relentless efforts, each one of them revealed their longing for the brightness of life, the desire to leave the nightmare, to leave the Land of No Light.
Those who didn't belong here also began recalling their past—the myriad beauties of the human world.
Hidden lights within the darkness started to congregate as never before.
Midway through the seventh month since arriving in the Land of No Light—
Zhou Baiyu, now bearing a touch of worldly weariness after countless monotonous transformations and a dull life...
That marvelous feeling descended once again.
Yun Duo, who had always stayed by Zhou Baiyu's side, covered her mouth, unable to hide her inner excitement.
"Jiang Xianwu, are you... ready now?"
Zhou Baiyu nodded:
"Yes, I'm ready, Yun Duo, now's the time, inform everyone."
This time Zhou Baiyu felt that it might last even longer than when he triggered Absolute Moment for the second time.
Skill status, Absolute Moment activated for the second time,
Fate status, purple fate, burning the boats.
The purple fate nearly cost Wu Xin half his life, but he wasn't satisfied with its effect... it didn't quite fit the current circumstances.
It was as if he had mutated a treasure that could be useful in other areas, but in the field he was about to confront, it seemed somewhat off-topic.
But something was better than nothing.
At least it could increase luck, allowing Jiang Xianwu to shine even brighter when charging forward.
More than four months later, Zhou Baiyu re-entered Absolute Moment!
Xinkui was trembling with excitement because the moment to turn everything around was today.
Wu Xin and Luo Hui were always clear that the next time Jiang Xianwu entered Absolute Moment—
It would be the time for him to leave the Land of No Light.
In the dark, Yun Duo, overwhelmed with excitement, said with quick breaths:
"The belief that can make everyone shine again, we've been planting it for over half a year."
"The item that can cover the light inside everyone's heart, allowing them to shine in your best moment, we have prepared it!"
"Those who can respond to a call to action are already in the state, waiting for the moment you shine."
"The perfect moment to defeat the night demon is finally here... Jiang Xianwu, if this world really has a moon, prove it to me, prove it to us!"
Zhou Baiyu smiled silently and tousled Yun Duo's head:
"Alright!"
As his words fell, the smog from the Dream Awakening Necklace that blocked the light dissipated instantly.
When he stepped out of the house, he was bound with many strange small objects—sewn implements, rings, necklaces, and weapons...
These items were the little things that Zhou Baiyu had crafted during this time and could not be taken out of the dreamscape.
Luo Hui was puzzled—what was Jiang Xianwu doing?
But his attention was quickly diverted because at that moment, it was as if a gap had been torn open in the entire night sky!
At this moment, Jiang Xianwu was like a dazzling star; the light he radiated was a hundred times brighter than when he first arrived here.
His aura and state had peaked under the influence of Absolute Moment.
The light turned darkness into gloom, and as Yun Duo's cries echoed through the night, when Xinkui and Wu Xin behind Zhou Baiyu also tore off their prison uniforms to reveal their light—
