Endless darkness and coldness poured into the sky from the big black umbrella and dyed the northern sky of the Wilderness black, as if the night had come. Endless light and heat poured into the sky from the top of the scepter and dyed the southern sky of the Wilderness bright, as if the Divine Kingdom had come to the human world.
In the blood-colored chariot, Ye Hongyu looked at the sky that had been cut into two different halves. There was no expression on her beautiful face. Then she wiped the blood from her forehead and looked at Sangsang in the north.
Sangsang was the daughter of Yama. Anything that happened to her could be imagined. Although Ye Hongyu was shocked, she did not pay much attention to it. Her eyes finally fell on the Hierarch of the West-Hill Divine Palace a few miles to the east.
Her brows slightly furrowed, because she could not clearly see whether that holy pillar of light came from the Lord Hierarch's body and fell into the sky, or whether it fell from the sky and landed on his body.

In the meadow dozens of miles to the south of the Wilderness, dozens of riders were looking at the northern sky.
The silver mask reflected the strange and frightening sky. Light and darkness met in his eyes. The color of his eyes became darker and darker, and his emotions became extremely complicated. No one knew what he was thinking.
Now he did not care about light or darkness. He was just jealous that the little girl holding the big black umbrella had attracted everyone's attention. Even Ning Que had become the center of the world at this time.
"It should be me standing there," Prince Long Qing thought. Then he remembered that after he escaped from the Zhishou Abbey two years ago, he thought that he was the son of Yama, so he became even more jealous.

In Helan City, the Tang Emperor looked at the sky in silence. The arrival of the night indicated the invasion of the Underworld, but it did not make the most powerful monarch in the human world feel any fear. On the contrary, his eyes became clearer and clearer as the light and darkness in the sky shone, and he looked a little excited.
Master Huang Yang stood beside the Emperor and bowed to the light and darkness in the sky with his palms pressed together. His lips moved slightly, but no one knew what he was saying.

At the back of the mountain of the Academy, the wisteria on the steep roofed corridor was blooming. The walls of the small building were covered with green vines. There was no one in the dark cliff cave. Everyone was on the edge of the cliff.
Eldest Brother and all the Younger Brothers and Sisters stood on the edge of the cliff and silently looked at the sky in the north that was divided by darkness and light. The magnificent Chang 'an City was shrouded in golden light.
"We should be there now," Second Senior Brother said.
Eldest Brother said, "Even if we are there, we can't do anything."
Second Brother said, "But at least we are there."
Eldest Brother said, "Teacher doesn't agree with us being there, so we can only watch from here."

In the Sword Garret of South Jin Kingdom, it was quiet in the dark cave. Spring had dyed the forest behind the mountain green, but it had no effect on the cliff cave. The pond in front of the hut was still cold.
The Sword Saint, Liu Bai, sat cross-legged beside the pond. He lowered his head and did not look at the sky. The opening at the top of the cliff cave was too small. Even if he looked up at the clouds, he would only see a patch of light.
An ancient sword slowly rose from the bottom of the pond. Compared to this sword, the sword that Liu Bai often used on the straw hut was as broken as a straw.
No one knew that the Sword Saint, Liu Bai, was hiding in the belly of the Sword Garret. He had been meditating by the pool for many years. Other than the fear in his heart that he did not dare to show himself, he had been cultivating a real sword.
It must be the strongest sword in the world.

The sky shrouded the earth and could be seen by everyone. Therefore, everyone in the world could see the sky that was separated by light and darkness. However, because of the perspective, the further south one looked, the more light they could see, and the smaller the dark sky. At the extreme south, the dark sky above the Wilderness became a smear of black on the ground. It looked like a flattened dark passage.
If that dark passage connected the Underworld and the human world, then what would come out of that passage in the next moment? The army of the Underworld or the body of Yama?
In the depths of the South Sea in the extreme south, tides rose and fell. Huge waves shook the reef, and underwater volcanoes spewed lava continuously, evaporating the seawater. White fog shrouded the island.
On the black reef at the edge of the island stood a Taoist in indigo. He looked at the dark sky in the far north and raised his eyebrows slightly. He said, "The Sunset Sands will open in reverse tomorrow?"
After saying this, he was silent for a moment. Then he shook his head and said, "It's still not right."

The Buddhism Sect did not participate in the Holy War in the Wilderness.
As Master Lotus said to Ning Que, and the Headmaster of the Academy and many others later said, the final way of the Buddhism Sect was to close their eyes, not see, and not speak.
Because of the Buddha's last words, the monks of the Buddhism Sect tried to kill the Daughter of Yama and save the world from great terror. However, because of the essence of the Dharma passed down by the Buddha, when the Daughter of Yama was not killed, the Underworld Invasion could not be stopped, the Everlasting Night was coming, and the human world was about to enter the Dharma Ending Age, the monks of the Buddhism Sect stopped trying to do anything but hide and hide.
In the depths of the Western Wilderness, the huge and deep Giant Sinkhole was surrounded by clouds and mist. Neither the holy light nor the dark shadows could penetrate the clouds and fall on people.
Tens of thousands of dark-skinned believers and slaves knelt at the bottom of the Giant Sinkhole, kowtowing and praying to the huge mountain in the center of the Giant Sinkhole. Their faces were full of piety and fear.
All the monks of the Xuankong Temple had hidden in the yellow temples among the mountains. Faint chanting came from different temples, and then gradually flowed down like water, as if to cover the whole mountain.
Master Qi Mei, the president of the Hall of Venerable, stood in front of an ancient bell outside a temple. When his left hand, which only had two fingers left, fell on the face of the bell, he tapped it from time to time to help the chanting to spread further.
Looking at the distant sky in the east, watching the scene of the confrontation between light and darkness, he looked a little anxious. The perseverance and calmness of the past had disappeared.
The Dharma Ending Age predicted by the Buddha was finally coming. However, too many celestial devices left by the Buddha had been lost. The Cleansing Bell was destroyed, and the chessboard was missing. Could the Xuankong Temple still avoid the eyes of Yama?
A calm and indifferent voice sounded in front of Qi Mei.
"When the dark night comes, all dharma collapses. It is a great horror. However, Haotian overlooks the world and will never allow such a tragedy to happen. Now that the light has come, the dark night may not necessarily win. Disciples of the Buddha should pray sincerely."
Qi Mei accepted the teaching seriously. His fingers left the face of the bell, and he sat cross-legged in front of the temple. He looked to the east, put his palms together, and prayed sincerely and quietly, "Buddha is merciful, and the common people should be blessed by the Buddha."
The sound of prayers gradually came from the countless yellow temples among the mountains.
"Gods and Buddhas bless us."
"Acalanatha bless us."
"Light …"
The Chief Preaching Monk of the Xuankong Temple did not chant, nor did he pray. He held his staff and stood at the top of the mountain. He looked at the parallel Wilderness, the distant light and darkness, and he looked extremely tired.
…
…
The night gradually expanded and slowly invaded the south. Countless fine cracks appeared on the edge of the bright sky, like a spider web. Then the cracks were instantly poured into the darkness and turned black.
When the darkness and the light met, there was no sound. But everyone on the ground of the Wilderness felt their hearts beat faster, and then they felt an extreme pain.
People looked at the bright sky being eroded by the darkness inch by inch. The pain in their hearts became more and more severe. They covered their chests, but they did not know whether the pain came from their bodies or their souls.
The black cracks on the edge of the bright sky gradually became thicker, until finally the cracks became lines, and then pieces, and then they merged together. That was a new night.
If this situation continued, the night would become stronger and the light would become weaker. After a moment or hundreds of years, the whole world would be covered by the dark night. The people living on this land and the beasts in the mountains would never be able to see the light again.
Endless fear occupied the hearts of the West-Hill Divine Palace Coalition Army. Even the people in the Desolate Man's tribe instinctively felt fear when they saw this shocking scene.
In the pavilion of the divine chariot, the tall figure of the West-Hill Divine Palace Hierarch suddenly knelt down. His right hand was still tightly holding the divine staff. His calm but thunderous prayer sounded in the Wilderness.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the West-Hill Divine Palace knelt down and began to pray with the Hierarch Lord. Even the Tang army knelt down because they were also believers of Haotian. They were also afraid of the coming of the Everlasting Night.
Hundreds of thousands of people prayed in unison. At the beginning, their voices were a little messy. Then they gradually became more and more orderly, powerful, and shocking.
People prayed for the miracle of Haotian, for the strength of the light, and for the darkness to recede.
The sky in the south of the Wilderness suddenly became brighter, as if countless amounts of light were injected into the Firmament. The silent and slow night gradually stopped.
A shrill crow's cry sounded in the night. The ink-like night began to roll and roll, as if there was a consciousness there that felt that it was being desecrated and began to become angry and violent.
The snow lotus under Sangsang's feet had already bloomed.
She closed her eyes and tightly held the big black umbrella in her hand. The cold aura kept gushing out of her body, rolling up the aura of Heaven and Earth in the Wilderness. It turned into a gloomy black color and kept pouring into the night.
Ning Que stood not far from her and looked at her silently.
The light and the darkness were fighting with the Firmament as the battlefield. This kind of fight between light and darkness was actually the fight between existence and non-existence. It was far beyond the level of human beings and was not something he could influence.
At this time, the cold aura in Sangsang's body had all awakened. Even if a piece of snow fell on her, it would be shattered into the smallest structure. So he could not hold her hand anymore.
His hand was bleeding. The drops of blood fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
He could do nothing at this time. It was meaningless to do anything. So he could only look at her quietly.
Suddenly, he felt that everything he saw was a little familiar.
He looked to the south and found that the battlefield in the Wilderness was full of corpses. He looked to the sky, which was bright like a round of sun. And the night was sweeping away.
Ning Que was sure that he had seen these scenes before.

(Reporting to everyone, I have some personal matters to deal with today, so I might only write this chapter. I'm sorry, I'll write four chapters tomorrow. Hmm, the last chapter will really be the climax. I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm also really nervous because I'm not confident in my ability. I'm afraid that I won't be able to write the feeling that I should have. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
