Chapter 420

He will impose an endless and certain slash on all things within his domain, until the perpetrator of all this is completely erased. In this domain, Su nuo has considerable confidence, for he has never lost.

However——

Su nuo quickly sensed something was off, because he discovered that even within his own domain, everything visible to his naked eye remained a void white. In other words, this strange white has nothing to do with curses.

He also faintly realized……that some kind of power he was completely unaware of had appeared, and it forcibly surpassed his domain.

He could guess without thinking: it must be that woman Huangquan's doing.

Su nuo……

A weak voice came from Kenjaku beside his ear. Because within his domain, non-living beings and those without cursed energy receive slash【to solve】, while those with cursed energy receive slash【to handle】, so from the first second the domain opened, the room he was in had already been utterly destroyed by him.

Of course……Kenjaku nearby also could not escape, and was instantly chopped into a bloody mess of a "meat lump" by the endless slashes; fortunately, the reversed technique barely saved his life.

Su nuo dispelled the domain, and after about ten-odd seconds, his vision finally returned to normal.

"Hey hey, next time can you observe properly before using the domain?"

Kenjaku, whose wounds were gradually healing, sounded very dissatisfied, after all, this flesh body capable of spirit manipulation was not easy for him to obtain.

"Hah."

Su nuo directly ignored his complaint, instead calmly looking at the white-haired girl who had come before him.

"Were you injured just now?"

"No, Lord Su nuo." Li mei shook her head, "... Just now's abnormality, could it be an attack by Wu tiao wu and them?"

"Wu tiao wu? Hah……" The two-faced Su nuo gave a playful cold smile, he lifted his gaze to the heavenly canopy above, the clouds above Pinokangni were neatly split open into a blood-red slit, that huge fissure like a bone-deep scar, branded upon the "Beautiful Dream".

"... He could never manage that."

——

""

"Shajin opened his eyes, the world left only black and white."

"Boundless sea surged beneath him, no waves, no ripples. Before his eyes was a dark "sun", silently appearing in the distant horizon."

""What…is this place?" Shajin slowly lifted his head, "The vast Thus: Black Hole, and the sea……Did I…succeed……""

""He dragged his stiff body, slowly moving forward, all the way walking, countless sounds echoed in his ears."

""…Welcome to this sorrowful world, Kakawa xia."

""Your fortune is ours, and also the most precious wealth of all the Aweijin People……"

""——Two days' time, come out alive, prove your skills are genuine."

""Wealth, status, power……the company will give you everything you want and don't want."

""And we shall meet again under the aurora of the next 【Kakawa】."

""Walking halfway, a woman's faint voice came from behind: "It's a pity, this is not the place you expected.""

""Shajin turned his head, seeing Huangquan he was not surprised: "Emptiness…is it?""

""Huangquan nodded: "Perhaps in your view, I am a hidden-emissary envoy, but……the sleepless formless one never glances at anyone; He has no form, no shape, nor any will to speak…Emptiness blankets everyone equally."

"""That's all…friend, you really leave me not knowing how to respond." Shajin asked lightly, "So…this is my endpoint, the afterworld?""

"""This is merely a fleeting dream, one of myriad manifestations of 【IX】…under the witness of emptiness, we stay here briefly, then go our separate ways."

""Shajin shook his head relieved: "It seems my death is already destined."

"""Even if you wish it so, I cannot give a promise. Since the purpose has been fulfilled, I think you can be more candid."

"Even if you wish it so, I cannot make a promise. Since the goal has already been achieved, I think you can be more frank."

Ren ya.

Inside the White House presidential office, a tall, sturdy man with dark skin sat on the sofa, leisurely enjoying fine red wine.

The floor tiles before him had already shattered, making the room he was in seem ready to collapse, but he himself was utterly unconcerned, only his expression slightly ferocious.

In the past three minutes, everything in his field of vision had its color "taken away," leaving only a pure white void. He didn't react at first, still thinking that the military had thrown a flashbang into the presidential office.

He also thought it was the U. S. military unilaterally declaring war on him, so he instinctively punched the White House floor, instantly causing a minor earthquake that frightened many staff into fleeing in panic.

Only when the color before his eyes returned did he belatedly realize that the earlier scene was the work of the woman named Huangquan in the heavens.

"Hehe, truly worthy of an envoy, not bad……"

If time were more leisurely, he would savor Huangquan's strike from earlier, but for now……he glanced at the clock on the wall, the time being ten o'clock zero one twelve seconds in the morning.

The president of the Beautiful Country, Tangnait, was late by a full one minute twelve seconds in their appointment, which made him quite displeased.

The president of the Beautiful Country, Tang Nada, was late by exactly one minute and twelve seconds in his appointment with him, which made him quite displeased.

Yongjiro looked at the woman who had come into the room to attend to them.

"Ah……this……that, the president……" The woman instantly grew nervous, wiping a handful of cold sweat from her forehead, "Mr. Yongjiro, surely you also saw……Huangquan's strike just now, which frightened the president into fainting on the spot, and he still hasn't woken up."

"Ah… um, the president…" The woman instantly grew nervous, raising her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, "Mr. Yujiro, surely you saw… just now Huangquan's slash frightened the president, causing him to faint on the spot, and he still hasn't awakened."

""Pa!" With a sound, the highball glass in Yongjiro's hand instantly shattered, his face showing a fang-toothed smile, a heavy growl issuing from his throat."

"As long as he isn't dead, let him come see me—now……immediately!"

"As long as he isn't dead, let him come see me… now… immediately!"

"What does that mean?"

"Huangquan said unhurriedly: "Your performance in Paradise was splendid, putting up a front…simple yet practical tricks, deceiving nearly everyone. No one would think you went to such great lengths, even staking your life, merely to re‑confirm a fact that seemed already denied……"

Huangquan said calmly, "Your performance in Paradise was splendid, putting on a show… a simple yet practical trick that fooled almost everyone. No one would think you went to such great lengths, even risking your life, just to reconfirm a fact that seemed already disproven."

"Shajin smiled faintly: "…What reason do I have to do this?"

""Because only this way can you reach that secret more concealed than a serial murder case……you can then, with 【death in dreams】, go there—to that promised land sought at all times in this gathering……the legacy of the clockmaker, the true 【Pinokangni】 (land of exile)."

""Because only this way can you reach that secret more concealed than a serial murder case……you can then, with 【death in dreams】, go there—to that promised land sought at all times in this gathering……the legacy of the clockmaker, the true 【Pinokangni】 (land of exile).""

Wait, I duplicated line 58? Actually line 58 is the same as line 57? Let's check original: lines 57 and 58 are separate. I mistakenly copied line 57 again for 58. Need to correct line 58.

Original line 58: "Because only in this way can you touch that secret more unspeakable than a serial murder case…… you can borrow 【death in dreams】 to go there, in this grand gathering, the piece of promised land that people constantly seek…… the legacy of the clockmaker, the true 【Pinokoni】 (Land of Exile)" Actually that's exactly the same as line 57? Let's see lines 55-58 from source:

【55】 "In the dreams of Pinokoni, true death does not exist."

【56】 Sajin smiled faintly: "... What reason do I have to do this?"

【57】 "Because only in this way can you touch that secret more unspeakable than a serial murder case…… you can borrow 【death in dreams】 to go there, in this grand gathering, the piece of promised land that people constantly seek…… the legacy of the clockmaker, the true 【Pinokoni】 (Land of Exile)"

【58】 "Because only in this way can you touch that secret more unspeakable than a serial murder case…… you can borrow 【death in dreams】 to go there, in this grand gathering, the piece of promised land that people constantly seek…… the legacy of the clockmaker, the true 【Pinokoni】 (Land of Exile)"

Wait lines 57 and 58 appear identical in the source? Possibly a duplication in the prompt. But we must translate both as given. So line 58 is same as line 57. We'll translate it again.

Thus line 58 translation same as line 57.

Let's adjust.

Now produce final list with correct line 58【1】 He will impose an endless and certain slash on all things within his domain, until the perpetrator of all this is completely erased. In this domain, Su nuo has considerable confidence, for he has never lost.
