Nightmare's Call

Chapter 574 Rescue: Part 2

Lin Sheng was about to raise his hand again to try.

Suddenly he felt a surge of horror running down his spine as something extremely dangerous was quickly approaching from the distance.

“Gonna scram. Can’t stay here any longer!”

He had not experienced this feeling for a long time now.

But regardless, he trusted his instincts, especially after he had become a divine being, the ascension of his divinity had also affected his soul and allowed him to be particularly sharp towards the perception of danger.

Plus, he had the predictive ability of the Dark Wheel on himself.

Without any hesitation, Lin Sheng rushed towards the black gate on the floor before the wooden cabin with an impassive look.

*Hah!*

In the blink of an eye, he leaped into the black gate and disappeared.

The black gate began to spin and shrank and would disappear soon.

*Hufff!*

At that moment, a curtain of darkness stretched out from afar and swallowed the black door on the ground.

...

*Boom!!*

Within the isolated chamber of the Holyspirit Palace.

The ritual matrix on the ground suddenly shook violently.

The black gate which had not been completely disconnected became to shake as a stream of black, foul viscous liquid seeped out of it.

“Cut off the connection!” Lin Sheng immediately ordered the personnel outside to cut off the energy supply to the ritual matrix.

At the same time, he pointed out as a large amount of holy power was immediately converted into holy light and blasted out.

The pure white holy light enveloped the foul liquid on the ground, and what surprised Lin Sheng was that his Legendary-level holy light would need three times the amount to get rid of one portion of the black liquid.

“Needing three to offset one... this sort of power...” Lin Sheng frowned.

While he long knew that there was existence within the Blacktide that could corrupt even demigods, but to see this power with his own eyes, he could not help but be shocked.

“Can’t be using this God Summoning Ritual any more!” Lin Sheng was decisive as he unleashed a torrent of white light and engulfed all of the matrix patterns on the ground.

The blinding white light lasted for a good thirty-odd seconds before it faded away.

As the light dissipated, everything returned to normal, and the black liquid on the ground had completely disappeared, leaving only a small object that looked like the arm of the thousand-handed god on the ground.

Lin Sheng pointed at it, as the Ward of Distortion immediately blasted out onto the arm, and smashed it into dust.

He then closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

“Men, change the matrix to the Ritual of Summoning.”

He needed to summon Nurgana out to inquire more.

In any case, Nurgana was one of the mysterious artificial gods. Even if she was a failed product, but for her to survive until the end, she was probably not your run-of-the-mill artificial gods.

With the staff quickly changed the ritual layout, soon Lin Sheng’s most commonly used Elementary Summoning Circle had been completely set up.

This summoning circle itself was not too difficult and was a rare source to summon out beings.

Most people would simply just summon ordinary wolves or bears from this ritual.

But due to the special dream Lin Sheng had, he was able to absorb plenty of soul fragments.

And that gave him more options.

Soon, the whale tallow lamp was lit up, as a faint white smoke came out of it.

The white smoke poured down into a pot of boiling mixture in it.

Lin Sheng stood before the matrix and started chanting the all too familiar activation chant.

He then closed his eyes, as orbs of light in various sizes gradually appeared for him.

The largest of them was a scarlet elliptical sphere.

Pushing aside the weaker creatures, Lin Sheng still had a wide range of options.

While he did not sense Cypross among them, this scarlet elliptical sphere had a clear signature that was unique to Nurgana.

“It’s you then.” Lin Sheng quickly approached the sphere.

Suddenly everything before him blurred.

Once again he was drawn into another scene by the resonance of memories.

In a dark, gloomy space with bright starlight.

A few fuzzy, translucent meteorites that looked like they were approaching slowly, was in fact rushing towards a large earth-colored planet.

“My child .... leave this place ... leave ...”

A blurry, old voice that sounded like it was suffering from electrical signal interference echoed in Lin Sheng’s ears.

“Leave... there is no hope here...” The voice continued before slowly died away.

“Father... even a great person like you cannot resist the Blacktide?” A tender voice came from behind Lin Sheng.

He turned around and did not see anyone, but only a blurry strip of distortion that was rippling in the space behind him.

“Destruction is the choice of fate.” I am not dead, and you are just asleep... If one day, you could reach the realm that I’m in, perhaps you can try to find a part of me...”

“Nurgana...my child... I shall take away your shadows to best prevent the corruption of the Blacktide. I hope that you can live on forever.”

The old voice was slow and deep.

But the content of it, had Lin Sheng thinking.

“Take away her shadows? Can that avoid the corruption of the Blacktide?” Lin Sheng quickly noted that down.

The resonant memory was not too long and quickly disappeared.

Lin Sheng was once again returned to the isolation chamber.

He shook his head, and the elliptical sphere in his vision had completely disappeared.

In its place was a girl with pure golden hair about twelve to thirteen years of age.

She was wearing a pure blue dress with a black ribbon tied onto her hair. She wore white gloves in her hands while her legs were wrapped in white stockings. As her closed eyes opened, crimson light faintly shone in it.

Lin Sheng opened his eyes as Nurgana had now stood before him.

She was dressed just like how she was in the dream. Nurgana at this moment had the immaculateness and sweetness of a pure innocent girl and did not look the part of a genetically created god with monster genes in her.

Fortunately, Lin Sheng had dismissed all of the staff before he started.

When he initiated the summoning ritual, he did not want anyone to know that he had the ability to summon out powerhouses from the dream.

Every time he summons something, he would lock the entire area down, and get all of the staff to leave.

As he looked at the blonde girl before him, Lin Sheng held his hand out.

“Feeling much more awake?”

The girl fell silent before raising her head and smiled at Lin Sheng.

“Daddy, I’m hungry.”

Lin Sheng was stunned. “Can you not call me that? I’m still young, I will never find a girlfriend if you’re like this...”

“How about... master then? Is that okay?” Nurgana smiled playfully.

“Just call me big brother.” Lin Sheng shrugged.

“Alright, big bro, this body is still weak, and I need to eat something to replenish it. Can you arrange something for me?” Nurgana continued.

In essence, she was still largely dominated by Lin Sheng’s soul, but at this moment, the Nurgana fused from both hers and Lin Sheng’s soul was a brand new independent individual.

She had Nurgana’s own level, divinity, but did not have her self-pity.

Lin Sheng quickly arranged Nurgana’s accommodation and food matters.

He was now much relieved now that he had another divine being around.

That search within the ritual earlier had traumatized him somewhat.

That black, viscous liquid may very well be a terrifying existence that could corrupt and destroy gods.

At his current level, it was best if he avoided them.
