North of Frost Wind City.

In the forest guarded by countless devil soldiers.

Suddenly, a voice was heard:

"Sir, this is the latest order, issued by the Devil King himself"

"Hm — — what? Transferring command? "

"They're here!"

Before the voice even finished, 12 human-shaped evil creatures wearing black cloaks descended from the sky and stood on both sides.

Immediately after, a man in military attire appeared in the middle of the road.

He looked like a real human.

— — -Being able to restrain his body and turn into a human completely, this was the symbol of a high-ranking evil creature.

"From now on, I will command the battle of Frost Wind City." the man said.

"Hmph, the city is about to be destroyed, yet they want me to give command to you, I really don't understand why."

"Because our true mission is much more important than massacring the city, once we succeed, the human empire will suffer heavy losses!"

"What?"

"All soldiers, stop the massacre and accept a new mission!"

...

Liu Ping stood in the middle of the void.

Dozens of metal pipes circled around him, forming glowing runes in the void of space.

Not far away from him, Xiao Mengluo was the same.

The glowing runes seemed to be alive as they danced around the two of them.

"What is this?" Liu Ping didn't understand.

A cold metallic voice resounded:

"[This is the spirituality summoning rune, you will soon see its effects]"

While speaking, all the metal pipes were retracted, leaving only a single pipe.

It printed out the last rune that was emitting light.

As soon as this rune appeared, all the other runes stopped.

Runes fluttered in the air and landed on Liu Ping's body like a piece of clothing.

A line of burning text quickly appeared:

[Attention:]

[The spirituality summoning rune has been activated]

[Your soul is about to head to the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night]

[Five]

[Four]

[Three]

[Two]

[One]

[Begin!]

Liu Ping felt a bit dazed.

The scenery around him disappeared. Then — — -

Within the boundless darkness, a majestic pillar connecting the heavens and the earth stood.

Countless statues were displayed on the pillar — — there were countless species of statues, most of which Liu Ping didn't recognize.

All of them had their eyes closed, as if they had fallen into eternal slumber.

Behind Liu Ping, the cold metallic voice sounded again.

"[This is the Eternal Night Divine Pillar. The mysterious power it emits created the entire Eternal Night World."

"[All existences in Evernight must borrow its power to improve themselves.]"

Liu Ping asked, "What should I do?"

"[Search for your 'true self'.]"

"The real me?"

"[It refers to the special trait in your soul. When one of your special traits resonates with an ancient existence on the divine pillar, the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night will transform the power of that ancient existence into a mysterious power and then bestow it to you]" the cold metallic voice said.

After Liu Ping heard this, he thought silently for a few breaths.

The mystical type transformation...

Why did it sound like the Heroic Spirit shelter of Heroic Spirit UI?

The difference was that the Heroic Spirit Shelter could only be borrowed temporarily, while the Eternal Night Divine Pillar could be obtained directly.

The two were so similar that they could even complement each other.

Liu Ping silently called out in his heart, 'Sequence, 'true self' refers to the characteristics of the soul? Then what are the characteristics of the soul?'

A line of burning words quickly appeared:

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

[Think back to the time when you became the Clown, the exclusive cards you obtained through 'pleasing', their power became incomparable to before]

Liu Ping was a bit surprised.

Suddenly, as if he was enlightened, he completely understood.

"Oh, so that's the rule of the Eternal Night Divine Pillar — —"

"For example, 'pleasing' is the characteristic of the Profession Card: Clown, as well as the condition for its Mystification. It can transform normal cards into cards suitable for the Clown's use ..."

"Now that I'm a card, if I want to improve myself, I also need to use 'characteristics'"

"My characteristic is' pleasing '?"

"... No, that's the characteristic of the Profession Card: Clown. And now, in order to not be found by the Gods and devil Kings of Purgatory, I can't reveal the power of the Clown."

"What other characteristics do I have?"

Just as Liu Ping was thinking, he saw lines of small burning words appear quickly:

[There are many types of characteristics of the soul]

[For this advancement, you only need to understand one of your characteristics, or think about what kind of unknown existence you've attracted in Eternal Night to help you in battle]

What kind of unknown existence have I attracted?

If I have to say one, it would be — —

Rabbit!

Card spirit: 40-meter-long Blade!

What was the reason at the time?

Liu Ping fell into his memories.

Yana's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of a rare smile:

"Some cards are extremely rare, they are hidden deep within the endless Laws of Mystery ...

"You said this rabbit — —"

Yana replied: "Yes, it probably hasn't seen this Blade you created before, so it came to take a look ..."

Because of the Blade.

Because the rabbit was interested in the Blade, it came to help me.

Indeed, I still have another characteristic.

— — -Creation.

Creating a weapon that has never existed before!

Or even creating a Divine Skill that belongs to the Samsara!

While Liu Ping was thinking, he felt a powerful gravitational force coming from the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night, directly acting on his body.

This gravitational force grabbed him and pulled him down into the dark abyss below.

Intense wind howled in his ears.

Liu Ping continued to fall along the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night.

Falling.

Falling.

Time seemed to have disappeared.

The falling time was so long that Liu Ping felt like he had already used up all the time in his life.

— — And the bottom of the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night still couldn't be seen.

Time was becoming meaningless.

The statues on the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night gradually became fewer and fewer.

Liu Ping had to fall for a very long time before he would occasionally see an ancient statue — —

Although he couldn't recognize what the statues were, he could still sense that the power waves they were emitting were becoming stronger and stronger.

Pain.

Just flying past the statues, Liu Ping would feel an instinctive sense of fear as well as a flash of pain just by getting close to them.

He could completely believe that — — -

If it weren't for the gravitational force from the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night grabbing onto him, his soul would've been completely erased from existence by the power waves of the statues.

Finally.

The gravitational force of falling slowly disappeared.

Lines of burning text quickly appeared in the endless darkness:

[The Divine Pillar of Eternal Night has recognized your characteristic: Creation]

[You have resonated with an ancient entity on the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night, the power of the Divine Pillar has brought you to it]

Liu Ping looked into the darkness ahead.

A large statue appeared on the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night.

Liu Ping glanced at it.

This statue took up a total of 40 meters of space on the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night.

Within 40 meters, there was only this statue. It was so grand and majestic that its body was the main body of this section of the Divine Pillar.

The statue had four faces, each facing a different direction in the darkness.

— — -But it was surrounded by a thick grey fog that never dissipated, making it impossible to see its appearance and body.

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

[You've formed a Mystic-type covenant with this ancient entity]

[The Divine Pillar of Eternal Night has transformed its power and bestowed one of its most basic abilities to you]

[Congratulations]

[You've completed your advancement]

[You've become an official knight and obtained a knight's unique power:]

[A 40-meter Summoning Aura (Primary)]
