Just like that, they held on for another 19 days, and time finally reached 31 days later.

Despite the inability to see the rise and fall of the sun or moon in the long night and no sign of the stars shining or tracing their paths, Trolian’s timekeeping system continued to function, and the Prophets in the White Tower ensured that time did not deviate by even a fraction.

Finally, the hands of the clock passed the night hour, indicating that a new day had begun.

Everyone eagerly awaited the passing of the long night, hoping for the moon and stars to appear in the night sky, for the strength of the Black Fog to diminish, the dark power to weaken, and the firelight to become brighter.

Time passed little by little.

The darkness, as thick as space itself, continued to roll, and countless Black Fog Symbionts kept appearing, and the light of the fire was still suppressed and could only cover a small area.

On the battlefield, Rod gazed into the distance, but saw only endless darkness.

Beside him, Olivia muttered, "What’s going on? I don’t feel the weakening of the Black Fog, that powerful invisible restraint still exists... no, that’s not right, it’s become stronger!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Olivia raised her head in astonishment and saw the same endless darkness in the distance, with some shadow-like figures emerging from the Black Fog.

This wasn’t the Black Fog Symbiont, but some even more powerful monster.

"Avatar!"

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge shouted.

"It’s a Black Fog Avatar! The long night hasn’t ended! It’s continuing!"

Rod’s expression instantly turned grave.

——

Royal City.

White Tower.

Iyeta stood alone on the Star Chart, massive star tracks revolving around him, and an invisible force permeated the world’s foundation, spreading into the Spiritual Mist.

"No, this isn’t the long night."

Iyeta murmured.

"This is the Eternal Night!"

——

Battle erupted in an instant.

Troli’s four True Kings immediately engaged in combat with the monsters known as Black Fog Avatars.

It was far more powerful than the Black Fog Symbiont, with a strength very close to the Ancient God, not much different from the God of Contaminated Blood that once attacked Troli. Although it didn’t have the God of Contaminated Blood’s Divine Country and endless blood tide, its Spiritual Energy Strength exceeded the limit of level 17, reaching 50 million kilokeks.

If there was only one such monster it wouldn’t be scary, it wasn’t very difficult for Troli’s current strength to kill it.

The terrifying part was that there were multiple such monsters.

They kept emerging from the darkness and launched their attack on Troli.

Tai Luo reopened the "Light Country," but this time, there were shadows within the "Light Country," and the weakening effect on the Black Fog Avatar wasn’t as significant as on the Black Fog Symbionts, hence their battles became more difficult.

Everyone put forth their greatest efforts, Rod used all his means except for the Star Soul [Spirit] related to [Sacrifice], and with the support of [Great Spiritual Tide][Great Awakening][Superstar Flash][Resurrection Song], they finally managed to defeat these monsters.

The unfortunate part was that Rod did not obtain any soul, which indicated that these "Black Fog Avatars" were just Derivatives, they weren’t the true Black Fog Avatars.

"Where is the true Black Fog Avatar?" was a question no one dared to think about, and after such a long period of fighting, everyone was very exhausted and couldn’t withstand a higher intensity of attack.

Fortunately, after killing these Derivatives of the Black Fog Avatar, the assault temporarily ceased.

The dense Black Fog did not weaken, but no monsters appeared.

Although the reason was unknown, this was a rare gap, and everyone returned to the Royal City for brief rest and recovery.

Rod also returned to his residence, his heart filled with doubts and concerns about the future.

At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Please come to the Mechanical Research Institute."
