Night Without End

Chapter 1649: Chapter 655: Mutual Pursuit

Qin Ming turned back, the steep stairway behind him was extremely vertical. Below him, the sea of clouds was pitch-black and boundless, that’s his way back.

In front of him was a vast platform, the dome was hazy, like a big bowl inverted with streaming starlight.

Is that the starry sky? It’s too distant and blurry, allowing for endless imagination.

This platform was desolate, as if bordering on Outer Heaven.

Dozens of monuments stood here, shaking and roaring.

Some monuments were already broken, leaving only half; some stood firmly but were covered in cracks; others were relatively intact, but the inscriptions were blurred and indistinguishable.

Here remained only mottled antiquity, as if narrating old tales from ancient times.

Qin Ming carefully scanned, looking to see if there were mounds under those monuments.

Above the Nine Heavens, near the world beyond, could this be a cemetery?

The monuments stood with the land fairly level.

Qin Ming did not find any tombs, and it did not seem like anything was buried underground, his Eye of the Soul could penetrate deep into the earth.

Under each monument were special symbols, like clusters of flames and nodes, igniting the mysterious patterns on the platform ground.

"Could you still want to sacrifice me?"

Qin Ming felt no reverence for here, stepping foot had triggered some ancient ritual.

He wanted to retreat, only to find invisible walls blocking the way back.

"Since I’m here, I might as well be at ease. I am the Insect Emperor, one who has died once, what is there to fear?"

This was the thought in Qin Ming’s mind, which he could not say out loud.

This place was extremely sinister, he couldn’t be sure if there was any living creature.

He looked up, the dome was semi-transparent, shrouded by mysterious fog, only some starlight could be seen faintly, too hazy.

He reached out to catch the scripture papers gently falling.

"It’s the scripture text of the Yi Ming True Scripture." He read quickly and memorized it, it was not actual paper, formed by the convergence of Tao Rhythm.

"No, there’s something else..." Qin Ming showed astonishment.

Some "papers" were already yellowed, like products of an old era, silently drifting from the unknown to the present through endless time and space.

They were still manifestations formed by Tao Rhythm, very thin and rough, yellowing, ready to disperse at any moment, vanishing into the Void.

On them were blurred writings, not knowing what race’s script, yet through Tao Rhythm, their meaning could be understood.

"Who am I?"

Simple three words, fully displaying confusion.

Normally, how could any creature not know who they are?

This information gave Qin Ming a cold feeling, the deeper the thought, the scarier it was.

The yellowed paper’s faint inscriptions extinguished.

Then, the very thin paper itself directly dispersed.

Qin Ming dared not be distracted, swiftly remembering the lower section of the Yi Ming True Scripture, and hurriedly glanced at special papers when encountered.

"Every time there’s a remembrance day... more pondering..."

Another page of special paper flickered uncertainly, the script was already completely fragmented.

Finally, Qin Ming extracted the last character, not "kin," but a "foe" character.

If people are dead, how can there still be consciousness, how can they still think of enemies?

Qin Ming thought, the so-called remembrance day could be the end of an unknown being’s first life, or after a spatial change, deemed dead in the original world.

Soon, he finished collecting the lower section of the Yi Ming True Scripture.

"Is this the complete scripture meaning?" He frowned, feeling it was cheating, the last passage of scripture ending abruptly.

"An abrupt cut-off, not like a normal conclusion."

Qin Ming was very dissatisfied, yet helpless.

"I hate three kinds of people the most, the last being those who cut off halfway through speaking!" He shook vigorously, the scripture pages shattered into streams of light.

The so-called ultimate land, reluctant to show all the scripture meanings, hiding something?

About the lower section, it involved quite a bit of miscellaneous talk, as well as skill route maps, very profound, Qin Ming could not comprehend at a glance, but was certain the ending was abnormal.

At this time, he again caught a more tattered page, ready to disperse across the Void.

Qin Ming proactively approached, seeing the last scribbled words ahead of time.

"Little Ancestor, you should not come..." Unfortunately, the words were limited, without more information.

Was this a hurried warning?

Qin Ming just felt a chill on his back, this indeed seemed like no good place, but there was no turning back, unseen walls blocked the return.

"Who is Little Ancestor? A little forebear?"

He felt something was amiss, truly an ancestor wouldn’t have the "little" prefix.

Qin Ming was startled in his mind, guessing: "Could it be Ancestor Worm?"

If it’s Ancestor Worm, this paper should have fallen down eight thousand years ago then.

Was it delayed, or isolated at that time, now dropping into this world?

Qin Ming couldn’t comprehend, this place was filled with mist.

Who’s reminding Ancestor Worm?

An even older monster?

Qin Ming looked up at the sky, frowned, and said: "I’ve arrived, why was no one reminding me?"

He lifted into the air, upon flying to a certain height, was blocked by an invisible wall, his activity area was limited, confined to a certain range.

He called toward the dome: "Is anyone there? The younger generation has come to pay a visit."

The night sky was very quiet, no one responded, nor did any papers drift down.

Qin Ming landed silently, pondering.

Land of Fate Change, destroyed eight thousand years ago, disconnected too long with the outside.

Perhaps, the change of identity and fate he feared had long ceased to exist.

He did not believe, any being could live that long.

Even if the Supreme Elder and Lord of Yujing revived, they are restored to peak state, yet didn’t have this ample lifespan.
