Chapter 1339: 437. ‘1’ is the limit

Scroll Angel and Noland Lee recounted the experiences before the establishment of the Supreme Star Palace.

This tale took place at the end of the 299th Plane Year.

At that time, the Plane Core that possessed the Sacred Fire was “Eternal Night.”

“Eternal Night” can be understood as “perpetual existence of dark night,” with the emphasis being on the words “perpetual” and “existence.”

The word “perpetual” implies that the phenomenon of “dark night” cannot be completely eradicated.

Dazzling stars or rapidly spinning, luminescent neutron stars might not experience the phenomenon of “dark night.”

But apart from these special celestial bodies that are themselves constant light sources, “dark night” could occur everywhere else.

From the inside of clothes on a person’s body where sunlight cannot reach, to the shadow beneath a towering ancient tree, these scenes that seem unrelated to “dark night” do relate to “Eternal Night.”

For when we view the darkness inside the clothes from the perspective of an insect, that dark zone becomes a kind of “night.”

“Dark night,” or rather “darkness,” can never be eliminated; this is the first characteristic of the “Eternal Night” Plane Core.

Its second characteristic is that it doesn’t deny the existence of “light.”

In the phrase “perpetual existence of dark night,” the word “existence” means “dark night may exist or not, but it always has its moments of existence.”

One morning, as the sun rises and sunlight bathes the earth, dark night ceases to exist, and the world welcomes daytime.

But as time progresses, nightfall comes, and dark night embraces all life creatures.

If the “perpetual” in the phrase “perpetual existence of dark night” ensures that the phenomenon of “dark night” cannot be completely eradicated, then the word “existence” determines the temporal property of the phenomenon of “dark night.”

Unless time ceases to exist, “dark night” will inevitably arrive.

From this, it is apparent that although the name of “Eternal Night” Plane Core might sound somewhat poetic, the powers it wields are undeniably formidable and astounding.

Time cannot erode it; spatial changes cannot erase its influence.

According to Scroll Angel’s recollection, He was the last angel to join the Supreme Star Palace.

Before joining the Supreme Star Palace, His planet resided at the Boundary between Outer Space and the Barren Universe, both barren and peaceful.

It was precisely because the planet’s resources were sparse and ordinary, not worth the invasion of the “Eternal Night” Plane Core, that this planetosphere only faced the extraordinary Army under the “Eternal Night” Plane Core at the end of the 299th Plane Year.

That was a type of extraordinary Army capable of rapid shadow jumping across the dark zones in space.

They had no specific shape or appearance; each member was a pale black Phantom, with a body that almost lacked mass.

These were the “Night Spirits” created by the “Eternal Night” Plane Core.

The strength of the Night Spirits lay in three aspects.

The first was the quick, long-distance, uninterrupted leaping through the ubiquitous shadows in the universe.

The second was the manipulation of pure darkness to attack enemies.

The third, their corpses left behind after death, would transform into an indestructible dark zone that lingered in place.

Compared to the first two strengths, the third strength of the Night Spirits is the most insidious.

The more Night Spirits that die on the battlefield, the wider the dark zones left by their corpses become, and the greater the combat advantage for the subsequent Night Spirits that arrive.

This mode of battle, where more sacrifices bring stronger Power to one’s own side, helped the “Eternal Night” Plane Core to conquer almost the entire Outer Space.

In Noland Lee’s memories, there exist only the contents before the invasion of his planet by the Night Spirits.

He has no impression of the invasion process of the Night Spirits.

However, Scroll Angel remembered it very clearly.

One morning, people discovered that the morning light that should have pierced the Dark Night had not appeared, and a thick darkness that couldn’t be resolved covered the heavens and the Earth.

This phenomenon continued day after day, and chaos quickly grew in the City, with sin and misery spreading everywhere.

It was during this time that the Scroll Angel discovered his Awakening of the Deconstruction Ability.

He used this Ability to protect his family, leading them to successfully escape the City and hide in the deep mountains and forests.

Their escape was not smooth.

They encountered the crafty and cunning Night Spirits.

Relying on the Active Deconstruction Ability, Scroll Angel could always detect the lurking Night Spirits in the shadows beforehand.

But no matter how cautious he was, accidents still happened.

“I remember there were about a dozen Night Spirits on the scene at that time. They trapped me and my family on a truck,” Scroll Angel recalled.

Scroll Angel said:

“The Night Spirits didn’t immediately attack us. They sent a Night Spirit who had learned our language to negotiate with me. The gist was that they valued my Ability and invited me to join them.”

Noland Lee couldn’t help but interrupt and asked:

“The Night Spirits discovered your Deconstruction Ability?”

Scroll Angel shook His head:

“No. They misunderstood. They thought I had some kind of Extraordinary Ability to predict imminent events in the near future, which is why they invited me. In fact, my family also believed that I had this Ability to predict the future. But they didn’t know that what I actually possessed was the Deconstruction Ability.”

Noland Lee nodded silently, signaling for Him to continue.

Scroll Angel said:

“I didn’t agree to join the Night Spirits, even though they showed great interest in me. The Night Spirits surrounding us didn’t resort to any other arguments to persuade me, instead choosing to attack. It was then that the Star God appeared. Oh right, back then the Star God wasn’t yet a Star God; the title of Star God only came after the Supreme Star Palace was formed. The one who helped me and my family break the siege was just a Humanoid Species who possessed powerful Extraordinary Abilities.”
