Chapter 563: Zhou Ping and Nikes
The outside world.
Nix looked at Lin Qiye, wrapped in a black cocoon, a satisfied expression appearing in her eyes. Then, as if sensing something, she raised her head to look at the sky.
Ding——!!
A sword light flew in from the distance. Zhou Ping, still in the process of transformation, felt the sudden emergence of a new divine pressure and his expression changed.
This divine pressure was even more terrifying than the combined might of Xiu and Set that he had faced before. Although it was only a part of the soul, the power of the laws involved was already close to the level of a Creator God!
At his current state, he was absolutely no match for the opponent. Even if he hadn’t begun his transformation, he still wouldn’t be able to defeat her…
Her aura was too strong.
Zhou Ping’s gaze fell on the woman in the black dress standing on the ground. He could clearly feel the surging night laws emanating from her, and he sensed Lin Qiye’s presence within the black cocoon opposite her.
Furrowing his brows tightly, without any hesitation, he charged toward Lin Qiye with his sword drawn.
His figure transformed into a beam of sword light, landing before the black cocoon where Lin Qiye was. Facing Nix, the long sword in his hand hummed, exuding a chilling and terrifying sword law.
He stared at Nix, his eyes filled with a clear sword intent.
He was warning her.
Although he knew he was unlikely to defeat this woman, he still had to reveal his sword.
He wanted Nix to know that even if he couldn’t win against her, he could still inflict harm. He was like a dying beast, choosing to show its fierce claws to a powerful enemy even when pushed to the brink…
Because behind him, there were cubs that needed his protection.
Nix quietly watched this scene, a hint of softness appearing in her eyes, her lips curling slightly.
After her healing progress reached 95%, she had seen this young man in a black shirt wielding a sword through the Divine Mental Hospital. She knew he was Lin Qiye’s teacher and that Lin Qiye had received much care from him…
The teacher of her child was one of their own.
“You don’t need to be so tense. I am his mother; I won’t harm him,” Nix said softly, pointing at Lin Qiye still in the cocoon.
Zhou Ping, with his sword intent already raised, froze in place upon hearing this.
Mother… mother?
Zhou Ping scrutinized Nix, his expression somewhat strange.
Lin Qiye’s mother… is a Greek goddess?
“He doesn’t have my bloodline, but he is my child,” Nix explained, seeing through Zhou Ping’s doubts.
So it’s not by blood… no wonder.
Zhou Ping glanced back at the black cocoon behind him, confirming that Lin Qiye’s presence was very stable and posed no danger. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly sheathed his sword.
“Is he your agent?” Zhou Ping asked.
He had already experienced this familiar night ability through Lin Qiye, and combined with Lin Qiye’s dual divine agent status, it was not difficult to deduce the identity of the noblewoman before him.
Divine Number 043, Goddess of Night Nix.
With that, it could be basically confirmed that this woman indeed had no malicious intent toward Lin Qiye…
Nix shook her head. “He is my child, that’s all.”
“Why are you here?”
“I’m leaving. I want to say goodbye to him and give him a little gift.”
“Oh.”
Zhou Ping nodded slightly.
The air suddenly fell into silence.
Bang——!
A cloud of blood mist erupted from Zhou Ping, transforming into white threads that gradually disappeared into the air…
The transformation was still ongoing.
Zhou Ping frowned slightly. He glanced at Nix, then turned and walked in another direction.
“Where are you going?” Nix suddenly spoke up.
Zhou Ping stopped, calmly saying, “There’s a rat hidden in this city that I need to flush out.”
“Are you talking about that god who is secretly hiding and conducting a national curse?” A smile appeared on Nix’s lips. “You don’t need to worry about him.”
“This concerns the national fortune of my Great Xia; I cannot ignore it,” Zhou Ping frowned and replied.
Nix shook her head, turning to look in the direction of Great Xia. A few star traces flickered in her eyes as she slowly spoke:
“You misunderstand. What I mean is, even if you don’t deal with him, he cannot shake the national fortune of Great Xia…
Some things you cannot see… but I can.”
Zhou Ping stood frozen in place.
“Professional matters should be handled by professionals. Right now, even if you go and fight that god desperately, you may not be able to kill him,” Nix continued. “If you trust me, stay here and make a deal with me.”
“A deal?”
Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment but still stopped.
He didn’t trust Nix; he trusted Lin Qiye in the cocoon. Since Lin Qiye chose to believe in this Goddess of Night, he was willing to trust her once.
Moreover, what she said was indeed true. With less than a quarter of his body remaining, even if he pursued that god, he wouldn’t be able to kill him…
“What kind of deal?”
“You are this child’s teacher and the first human in the world to possess your own laws. I admire you,” Nix said calmly. “If you simply transform and completely disappear from this world, it would be a pity.”
She turned to look at Lin Qiye in the cocoon, a gentle expression in her eyes. After a pause, she continued.
“And this child would be very sad…”
Zhou Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you have a way to stop the transformation?”
“No,” Nix shook her head. “Transformation occurs because your mortal body cannot bear the weight of the laws. No one can stop this process… In other words, your death is a self-destructive process caused by your own flaws, and it is unavoidable.”
Zhou Ping fell silent, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Nix continued, “During this process, your body will be destroyed because it cannot withstand the sword laws. Once your body disappears, your soul consciousness will uncontrollably be absorbed into the sword laws you created, merging completely with them. This is also part of the transformation.
Thus, everything about you will vanish from this world, and you will become a part of the operational laws of this world, with no possibility of escaping the laws.
What I can do is consume soul power to weave a piece of night for you, allowing your consciousness not to be absorbed by the laws, letting you remain in this world in another way, falling into eternal slumber.”
“Eternal slumber?” Zhou Ping frowned slightly. “What’s the difference from transformation?”
“The difference is that after transformation, you can never return, not even to the cycle of reincarnation in Great Xia. However, leaving your consciousness in this world still allows for a return to the cycle, with a possibility of coming back…”
Nix paused. “That is the ‘possibility’ I can offer you.”
