Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1054: 646, Shadow, God of 15 minutes!_2

He watched in astonishment.

Before this, there had never been a precedent of mysterious creatures from the Taboo Land participating in war within the entire Federation. They rarely even ventured out of the Taboo Land!

But now, he had just watched in disbelief as a flock of birds flew out from the canopy, led by the Vermilion Bird. He saw its tail stretching over ten meters long, blazing like a meteor entering the atmosphere, laden with starlight.

Is this what the Shadow was referring to… Qing Chen’s trump card?

Xiao Mengqiu stared into the direction the Vermilion Bird had flown away, while the Shadow watched with a grin.

That’s the trump card of the Knight Organization.

It represented the love and care of the senior knights for their juniors through the ages. This was the hope of the old folks for the revival of the knight legacy after centuries of decline.

Now, all the accumulated power had been bestowed upon Qing Chen by the old folks.

Thinking of this, the Shadow suddenly felt reassured.

He turned to Qing Chen and smiled: “I was never at ease before, so I was reluctant to leave. I worried about someone bullying you with no one to help you, I feared you’d have no one to confide in when you’re sad, and I was concerned you’d return home to find no one waiting for you. I delayed leaving, wanting to see if anyone else could care for you like I did. Now, I feel I no longer need to worry. Remember, you had such a brother.”

The Shadow waited over ten years just for a single call of “brother”.

My life has no regrets.

As he spoke, Qing Chen realized something, and tears flowed unstoppably: “Is there no other way?”

“There isn’t,” the Shadow suddenly burst into laughter, “Xiao Chen, don’t cry. I had Chen Yu and Li Bingxi come here and haven’t killed them yet because I want them to witness the arrival of an era that belongs to you, a new era, a New World!”

While speaking, Li Bingxi involuntarily stepped backward, feeling the Shadow’s aura rising infinitely at this moment, gradually integrating with the world.

The strands of the Shadow’s hair began to fracture into stardust, and his body gradually became illusory.

“You’ve already touched the critical point of integrating spiritual will with the world!” Li Bingxi exclaimed in shock.

The Shadow laughed: “What’s there to fear? I reached that critical point a century ago.”

An ordinary person’s lifelong cultivation pursues strengthening their physical body to withstand the fusion of stronger spiritual will with the world, wielding the rules of the world as mortals.

But the Shadow had just awakened, standing at the end of all paths.

However, in this world, apart from God Ren Xiaosu, everyone traversing that critical line would fall into a state of bodily disintegration, eternally merging with the world’s will, sinking into the stars and sea.

Even powerful figures like the demigods Yan Liuyuan and Li Shentan, who orchestrated this crossing event, couldn’t escape that fate.

Yan Liuyuan’s long-term slumber was to resist the process of assimilation by the world’s will through self-sealing.

Yet today, for Qing Chen, the Shadow voluntarily stepped across that critical line, becoming the one closest to God!

As he spoke, he turned to Qing Chen and, with a smile, asked: “So, is your brother pretty amazing?”

Qing Chen wiped away his tears: “Amazing, my brother is the most amazing.”

“There are no regrets now,” the Shadow laughed heartily.

The Shadow stood on this wilderness amidst thousands upon thousands.

He became the center of heaven and earth, his aura majestic like a whale drawing breath, violently dispersing the clouds in the sky.

The Shadow turned to look at Li Bingxi and Chen Yu.

“Li Bingxi, do you want to kill me? Are you even worthy.”

“I am the nameless traveler of this world; I am one without any more attachments. Chen Yu, I am the insurmountable mountain of your life. From today onwards, merely thinking of me will fill you with dread, and your path of cultivation ends today!”

At this moment, Chen Yu and Li Bingxi no longer retained their calm demeanor from before. The two had speculated about the Shadow’s realm but never imagined he could voluntarily step across the chasm between demigods and gods!

They now faced a god for a fraction of a moment, no longer a mere mortal!

This was the Shadow’s greatest trump card. He had hidden it for a century, using it to open a new era for his younger brother.

“Chen Yu, kill him!” Li Bingxi said in a low voice, yet while uttering these words, he turned and fled.

A dignified demigod, yet before the Shadow, he fled like a stray dog, completely disregarding his dignity, as all forms rushed in twenty-four directions.

Do not dare to speak loudly.

For fear of startling the heavenly beings!

Yet, how could the Shadow let Li Bingxi go? He softly said: “Time!”

The world suddenly slowed to a pause.

Everyone froze, including the demigods.

The rules governing transcendents in this world were definitive; all forces acting upon other transcendents would be resisted by their Life Field, like Yan Yan who could render a War Robot useless but couldn’t freely manipulate B-Class superhumans.

In the past, the Shadow’s ability to stall time, if unnoticed by the demigods, would cause them to stagnate. Time remained normal for demigods, while only the Shadow’s speed relatively accelerated.

However, if a demigod perceived it, such as when the Shadow was committing murder before them, they could counteract with their spiritual will and escape from the Time Law.

This was why the Shadow never sought to duel demigods in the past.
