The Black Merchant in a ragged brown duster coat walked in a while whistling from outside of the pyramid, his hand was full of grocery bags like he just came back from the grocery store. Then he felt like something was amiss so he quickly ran to the main hall and saw the carcass of a giant black cocoon.“He’s finally awake!? but why am I still?” The Black Merchant checked himself as he checked his hand and body to see if there was anything abnormal.“Or is he still not fully awakened?” He uttered after he had found out that everything is normal.The Black Merchant tried to use his senses to detect if Zhu Wushang was around but nothing positive turned up. He thought that maybe Zhu Wushang had gone somewhere or been around here but the dark pyramid material resisted any probing from other sources that’s why he couldn't detect him.Unknown to the Black Merchant, Zhu Wushang was just a bit further away from him standing butt naked behind the cocoon carcass. What made the Black Merchant un
Hearing what the Black Merchant told him. What he had thought in that consciousness was that only 5 days had passed, but in truth, it was actually 5 years that had passed. It’s not that Zhu Wushang didn’t think about the possibility that the time might have passed longer than he had thought. Like those cultivators who go into seclusion to meditate and gain the epiphany then turns out that time has passed for more than a hundred years.He thinks about it but the experience he always receives from consuming the Supreme Cosmic Scripture Page was always swift in gaining the power so he thought that the time shouldn’t pass that much longer than he had anticipated. Plus, Zhu Wushang never had the experience of meditation and gained the epiphany like those cultivators because his brain works differently than theirs. Everything discovered and the inspiration he got for the solution he desired comes to him naturally like he designed it or will it to be.That’s why this news came to him as a su
The first picture he saw was Yun Xi who after getting Adrian from his school is running using her cultivation without caring about protecting the secret of her cultivation from the royal palace as far as she can. While Adrian was piggybacked with some of the cloth to ensure that he will not fall off her back.While everyone tried to run far away from the palace under the guidance of the police and some emergency workers and volunteers. A few infected that slipped out from the police encirclement began to attack the people that were running.The slaughter began as the one who was injured from the attack started to turn into the infected within a few minutes after they got their injury from a claw or a bite mark from the infected.One of the infected went straight to a boy who was running away with a group of adults that were panicking, the boy got pushed down by a panicking crowd. As the boy fell down to the ground one of the police quickly shot at the infected but it was not enough to
Yun Xi looked at her wristwatch again in frustration.“Shit!” She swore before bringing out a mobile phone and dial to her subordinate.“Go to Alexandria now! Don’t wait for me! I’ll go to Alexandria by myself!” Yun Xi sent her last command before she kept her mobile phone in her storage ring. Knowing fully well that this will be the last time she could use this device because if all of the infrastructures went down, there will be no signal to be used again.She didn’t know if this situation would happen in another place in the world, but she guessed that even if it’s not, at the rate this thing happened it’s only a matter of time before the world will walk toward the full apocalypse she saw in the movie.“Adrian, stay here, ok?” Yun Xi places a shield formation plate on the ground of the rooftop and activates it to protect Adrian.“Um!” Adrian nodded with a proud smile, he knew that Yun Xi decided to save the situation. Pride and happiness come to Adrian's young heart, in his view, b
After seeing all of that Zhu Wushang felt relieved because all of his people and loved ones are safe and sound, he decided to check on the later year and decided to advance the time even further and saw that his wife's stomach began to grow bigger and bigger as time passed.This comes as a surprise to Zhu Wushang, He didn’t know that his wives are pregnant. He wanted to end the session immediately and go find his wives to see how they are, but he decided against it because he remembered that this session just takes no more than 5 minutes in real-time so he wanted to know more about what had happened in these 5 years.He saw both of his wives disappear into the portal where they used to cross the world from time to time. It seems that their family called them to the other world while they were pregnant. This should be something that their family requests as they too might want to see how their grandkids are.As time passed, he saw the infected from all around the world start to evolve
Zhu Wushang recollected his thoughts and said toward The Black Merchant.“You said that Cthulhu is one of your kind. Then what about you? Can you tell me your real name already? or Do you think that my power is still not enough to withstand the truth?”The Black Merchant smiles as he chuckles a little as if he heard a joke.“No, Your power is always enough to withstand any truth. Even before you gain your first power back in the Desolate continent in your world.” The Black Merchant said with a smile.Zhu Wushang tilted his head in confusion.“Then why didn’t you tell me everything from the start?” He asks.the Black Merchant stood up and kept his coffee cup within his shadow and walked toward Zhu Wushang before raising his finger toward the sky or, in this case, the ceiling of the pyramid.“Although you alone are enough to withstand the truth, you still have not regained… um… how should I put it…; Yes, part of yourself to restrain your power to not cause harm to your environment and y
After Zhu Wushang listened to The Black Merchant or Nyalarhoteb's explanation and witnessed “The Threshold of Truth” just a moment ago. He had comprehended some points about himself. First, He should be the same kind as Nyalarhoteb. The outer god, otherwise couldn’t control those monsters that are residing within his shadow. Second, The power he wields should have something to do with the creation or something along those lines. Otherwise, he might not be so obsessed with invention and creation. Third, The magnitude of his power or the hierarchy within this outer god's pantheon should be at the top of the food chain. Otherwise, his power wouldn’t need to be sealed separately like that. “I can’t wait to see my child… Shall we go?” Zhu Wushang asks with a smile and starts walking out of the Pyramid. “As you wish, master.” Nyarlathotep nodded and stood up as he followed Zhu Wushang not far behind. Both Zhu Wushang and The Black Merchant flew out of the underground space where the Bl
At the end of the vast desert, there’s a megapolis, its size spans more than 100 kilometers square. At the edge of the megapolis, there are a giant concrete wall 30 meters in height, its width was enough for a large tank to go up there and take a spot to fire on the ground below.Every 20 meters there is a watchtower armed with two heavy machine guns and an anti-armor cannon. Many people are patrolling at the top of the wall, some of them are talking with each other, some are watching the perimeter with their binoculars and some are checking the equipment that is on the wall.Outside of the wall, there is a large area of the refugee camp and a very long line of refugees who are undergoing the checking process at the checkpoint. Many of the refugees in the camp are malnourished, and some of the volunteers from inside the wall are taking care of the wounded, children, and elders. But the volunteers who are taking care of them are fewer in number when compared to the refugees outside the
