Throne of Radiance

[Before the end of the Dharma Era, no one knew that this world, rich in aura and rich in super energy elements, would face such a day that all supernatural powers would lose the soil for survival, and the world would completely return to the most real ordinary. ]

On the second floor of the quiet apartment, a brush was writing.

The new script belonging to Joey is slowly taking shape under Bai Yi's pen.He hummed happily, his eyes sparkling.

"The perfect script, as expected of me~"

[That was supposed to be the era when extraordinary people were in high spirits. ]

[If it is said that Eastern Martial Arts focuses on body training and mind training as a supplement, then the mainstream superpowers in the West focus on spirit and soul. ]

[They dig out the deepest power of the soul with their ordinary bodies, leverage their spiritual will through meditation, connect the laws of the world and superpower elements, and thus dig out their own "spirituality", that is, what is obtained by emotion, will, and spiritual sublimation. ]

[By controlling and consuming spirituality, they can do all sorts of incredible things—endowing items with spirituality and making them have extraordinary characteristics, which is what people in later generations call strange objects; through their own powerful spirituality, they can twist the spiritual will of the weak to produce Hallucinations, contamination, and even being completely rewritten; what's more, when the spirituality is so powerful that it can even leave a spiritual imprint on the object that lasts for a hundred years. ]

[In the eyes of ordinary people, this is no different from a god. ]

[At that time, people called it the "casting spirit master". ]

[But they are not without flaws, the biggest flaw is their frail body.No matter how powerful the caster is, his body is similar to that of ordinary people, and his lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people. ]

[Due to physical defects, even if the caster possesses strange and powerful strength, he may be harmed by ordinary people's well-planned calculations.Therefore, the extraordinary world in the east is still open to ordinary people, and people with certain talents and opportunities can enter it, while the extraordinary world in the west is more closed. ]

[In the Eastern Transcendence World, transcendents are geographically isolated from ordinary people, and often hide between caves and blessed lands and spiritual veins of Lingshan, but they will regularly absorb talented seedlings from ordinary people to strengthen their inheritance.Therefore, there have always been legends of immortals and gods in the secular world.Ever since Pei Hefeng, master of the Han lightsaber, unified the Eastern extraordinary world with the martial arts system, extraordinary power has become even more out of reach for ordinary people. ]

[In the Western extraordinary world, extraordinary people often live in seclusion among the crowd, but they will never reveal extraordinary secrets to ordinary people.They are composed of large and small secret associations, families maintained by blood, and schools passed down from master to apprentice. They are extremely exclusive and closed.Spirit casting masters of different schools who are also cultivating spiritual power have different secret methods for casting spirituality, and the abilities that are finally displayed are even more different. ]

[Because of this, many schools may have interrupted their inheritance over time. Some small secret associations, because recruiting newcomers is too harsh and the number is not large, may one day be destroyed by the enemy's revenge, silently interest. ]

[Because of strict secrecy and harsh inheritance, the extraordinary world in the West has always been a secret unknown to ordinary people.When the Dharma-ending era comes, its destruction will be silent. ]

[The difference in system makes warriors and spirit casting masters go to different paths. ]

[When the spiritual energy is cut off, the martial arts practitioners will completely lose their source of power. The Sword Master Hanguang can only lead his followers out of the boundary to find a chance of survival. ]

[But the power of the caster comes from the sublimated spirituality in the spiritual will.Even if the end of the Dharma comes, the super energy elements that were once easy to pry are quickly lost, and the strict laws of physics are buckled like layers of shackles; but as long as their will is not wiped out, they can pry the power in the soul, even if the difficulty is in the past A hundred times a thousand times. ]

[The power that can cause spiritual storms in the past can only cause small splashes after the end of Dharma.The spirit-casting masters who used to have power over ordinary people seemed to be knocked down overnight, from "magicians" to "magicians".Many people find it hard to accept this harsh truth. ]

[They are countless times weaker, and they can no longer hide in the crowd as perfectly as before. With the accidental exposure of the first spirit casting master, more and more "heterogeneous" are discovered by people. ]

[I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but their too weak strength is not regarded as a magical transcendent.It's as if people would be in awe of a mage who summoned a rain of meteorites and fire with his hands, but not a clown who rubbed a pinch of small flames on his fingers. The latter would only be regarded as a strange alien and be suppressed and persecuted. ]

[...The bloody storm ensued. ]

At this point in writing, Bai Yi turned the pen and muttered: "It just so happens that many countries in the West have behaviors similar to witch hunts in history. It is a perfect correspondence. And it is difficult to verify..."

"True or false, false or true, who knows?"

He continued to write.

[...Even in today's civilized society, people have strong prejudices against aliens that are different from themselves, not to mention the backward and ignorant era, some remote places, and even children who are born with strong spirituality are regarded as demons Chosen one.One can imagine the fate of these aliens who are squeezed out by their own kind. ]

[And the surviving aliens are increasingly keeping their own specialness secret. ]

[As time goes by, the laws of physics in this world become more and more strict, and the geniuses who can leverage their spirituality to become spirit casters are becoming fewer and fewer, and countless schools and secret associations have withered.The only surviving casters had to unite for self-protection and inheritance, and established a unified organization, the "Artist Association". ]

[—Because every spirit casting master at this time almost has the identity of an artist in the world of ordinary people. ]

[Under the blockade of the laws of physics, most schools of secret methods have been unable to produce spirit casters. They discovered that the easiest way to leverage spirituality is to create works of art. ]

[Perhaps it is because artists have more abundant emotions, richer imaginations, and sharper souls than ordinary people.At the moment when they create works of art wholeheartedly, their spirit, will, and emotion are in the most perfect state of sublimation, which also makes it much easier to leverage their spirituality. ]

[The traditional school of soul-casting masters has become the past, and a new school has been born. The new-born soul-casting masters call themselves artists, and the most powerful artists have jointly established the Artists Association. ]

[Even so, in this era of increasingly stringent physical laws, there are still fewer and fewer new artists.When the lifespan of the older generation of artists comes to an end, the number of the new generation is far less than that of the dead, and the artist association is doomed to die out. ]

[——Until there is only one person left in the entire association. ]

[That was a child who was judged to have absolutely no talent in art, but he walked out of his own way.His spirituality is incredible, and in this era blocked by the laws of the world, he is enough to be called the "God of Art". ]

[When there is only one person left in the entire Artists Association, he realizes that one day his body will decay like his predecessors. The withdrawal of the extraordinary is an inevitable fate, and with his strength, he is far from being able to resist The tide of the times. ]

[But he is not willing to perish like his predecessors. ]

[—“I was just born in the wrong era.”]

[During the days and nights of contemplating and experimenting, he, who has received the inheritance of the entire Artists Association, has read countless schools of secret methods of casting spirits and works left by his predecessors. ]

[Taking the essence and discarding the dross, he integrated the secret methods of all schools to form the simplest method of casting spirits.I also obtained incomparably precious inspiration through the dark scripture "Sabbath" collected by the Artists Association—]

[The birth of "Sabbath" was a coincidence. It was a work created by a crazy artist in a completely distorted state of spirituality, and a crazy and twisted evil spirit was sealed in it.Each of its masters will inevitably be spiritually polluted, either going crazy or being swallowed by evil spirits.Therefore, this painting has been sealed in the deepest part of the artist association. ]

[But he got his inspiration from this painting. ]

[The body of a mortal will never last long.If he can create a work of the same level and hide it in the form of a spirit body, it may survive forever until one day in the future, when the world recovers, he will have the opportunity to wake up in a new era. ]

["I'm no longer a human being!"]

[But this is a million times harder than leaving a spiritual imprint. ]

[And "The Sabbath" is the best reference. ]

[This was originally a dark scripture regarded as taboo by the Artists Association, and he wanted to create works of at least the same level—this kind of works that can imprison spirit bodies must have distorted characteristics. ]

[What he has to do is to find a way to maintain his sanity, so that he will not be polluted and distorted spirituality like the evil spirit in the painting. ]

[The Last Supper was born. ]

[People with kind thoughts in their hearts, those who are addicted to unconsciousness, are like going to heaven.People with evil thoughts in their hearts and those who resist struggle are like falling into purgatory.The more polluted, the more peaceful the state of mind.The more one resists its pollution, the more mentally disturbed it will become. ]

[He threw away his frail body and turned into the spirit in the painting. ]

[This sleep lasted nearly a hundred years. ]

[The sky and the earth are changing, the aura is revived, and the law is loose.The last artist awoke from a long slumber.And those strange things whose spirituality was sealed by the doomed age also "woke up" because of the loosening of the law, and regained the brilliance of the strange things. ]

[——Taking advantage of the moment when the artist escaped from the painting, the spirit of the painting, who was oppressed by the artist in "The Last Supper" for a long time, fled at the first time, exhausting the newly recovered spirituality, After falling into the hands of a certain collector, it was returned to the original owner not long after all. ]

[At the same time, the awakened artist suddenly discovered that many collections belonging to the Artists Association had been scattered all over the world for some reason during the years when he fell into a deep sleep. ]

[He who is determined to rebuild the Artists Association, the first thing to do is to find the lost property of the Artists Association. ]

[—Especially the lost Sabbath. ]

……

"Have you ever heard of the Sabbath curse?"

At the same time, on the far side of this planet, a popular mystery program is in progress. The background of this program recording is the theater of the world war that year, which has not been reconstructed for many years. zone.

Dark clouds fell all over the sky, and among the vast ruins, the ancient castle was like a distorted body made up of stumped limbs and broken arms.

Uh...

The cold wind blows slowly, and the low-pitched narration tells the prelude.

"The story is like this. More than 100 years ago, a painter who wanted to be famous all his life but was always depressed was crushed by tremendous pressure. In a state of insanity, he went completely crazy and killed his wife and daughter with his own hands. .”

"Using human skin as paper and blood as paint, he painted a work handed down far beyond all his works in his life, a family portrait mainly featuring portraits of a family of three."

"The title of this painting is The Sabbath."

"...He privately invited friends to visit his paintings. People who don't know the truth are full of praise, praising him as an unborn genius. They firmly believe that more people will appreciate this painting like them—"

The fame and fortune that the world longs for, the brilliance that everyone is looking forward to and the praise of the whole world seem to be coming to this person who was once depressed and almost buried by fate.

However, before the bright future comes, this high-spirited painter died strangely and tragically on the night of the seventh day after his creation was completed.

"...It is said that when he was discovered, all the blood in his body was evacuated, his skin and flesh were separated, and he was completely turned into a fuzzy mass of flesh and skeleton. Draw."

"And people also discovered the secret of this painting."

——It contains a great evil in itself.

The painter's bizarre death posture has received various interpretations.

"...Some people say that this is because he couldn't let go of his paintings until his death, and he couldn't let go of his dream of becoming a famous painter; others said that he was tortured by the guilt and remorse of killing his wife and daughter; but more People tend to believe that the wife and daughter who were killed by him came back to avenge him."

——The evil spirit in the painting tortured him cruelly.

"The town where the painter settled was full of rumors. One day later, the sheriff of the town learned of the value of the painting, secretly bought the painting, and not long after, sold it to a wealthy businessman at a high price."

"That night, the sheriff of the small town also died strangely. It is said that the cause of death was a heart attack due to excessive shock."

"And the rich businessman also died not long after. The cause of his death was sleepwalking and falling into the lake at night."

"—but his children say he never sleepwalks."

"After the rich businessman died, his sons and daughters divided up his inheritance, and because they disliked the unknown painting, they resold it."

"In the past ten years, this painting has been tossed and lost, and passed through the hands of many masters, and each master died badly. Either he died suddenly, or he became unconscious and went crazy."

"This painting is therefore called the painting of the curse. It is said that the most evil spirit resides in the painting, which will devour the soul of the painting owner."

"This is the curse of Sabbath, and it is also the theme of our exploration of this episode of the show."

"We have received letters from viewers. It is said that some people have seen evil spirits appearing around here, and some brave explorers heard the girl's cry at night. In just half a month, more than a dozen explorers have been here. They stayed in the abandoned castle nearby, and they all said that they had seen the legendary cursed painting and tried to take it away. But it is a pity that those who said so went crazy later. "

"We still don't know exactly where the Sabbath is. Is it real or is it a lie made up by people."

"Our challenge this time is to abandon the castle for three days and three nights. Explore the secret of the cursed painting."

"——The rumors of the curse, are they true or false?"
