Throne of Radiance

In the dark, thick, and deep sea, like a bottomless abyss, Bai Yi's consciousness kept sinking, and countless fragments of stars floated around him. In the feeling of suffocation approaching death, he slowly opened his eyes. Eyes opened.

In the dark deep sea illuminated by the starlight, distorted and blurred words were printed on the boy's pupils, which were darker than sea water.

Title: Bearer of Hope

[Active Skill: Hope Resonance]

[Remarks: You, who symbolize the last hope of the infinite world, are blessed with blessings from the root power of the infinite world. ]

[In the fate of despair approaching, you can rely on your own particularity to consume the hope and blessings from the infinite world in your soul in the depths of endless nightmares and countless world wreckage, thus sensing countless world wreckage, And resonate with the most hopeful wreckage of the world, enter it, and gain chips that may confront the fate of despair. ]

［—That is, by consuming the "hope" blessed to yourself, actively choose to enter the nightmare copy you need.You have to think carefully, if you consume too much, you will lose your "hope". ]

----

With a thought, Bai Yi actively chose [Hope to Resonate].

——By consuming the hope and blessings from the infinite world, he can sense the world wreckage that is most helpful to him in the upcoming return to the ruins, that is, the copy of the nightmare fragments.

[The hope and blessings rooted in your own origin are very precious, and random consumption may even damage the player's own essence.It is detected that the player has obtained a small amount of hope and blessing from the outside through other means. Do you choose to consume it first? 】

"Hope and blessings from outside?"

Bai Yi was slightly taken aback, and then thought of something.

"Is it because of clearing so many copies of nightmare fragments..."

He couldn't think any further.

The deepest ocean in this nightmare is not a place where the soul of a living person can stay forever. The deepening suffocation made him almost stop thinking, and he could only quickly give an affirmative answer.

The title of "Hope Bearer" suddenly lit up.

[The "Hope Resonance" skill is in use. 】

——Compared with the random choice of passively waiting for the wreckage of the world in the past, and entering a random nightmare dungeon, this time, Bai Yi has the right to actively choose the nightmare dungeon to enter.

In the next second, an illusory panel appeared, and a line of text flickered in front of Bai Yi's eyes:

【Points: 730】

Bai Yi suddenly said, "Is that really the case..."

The so-called hope and blessings from the outside are indeed the hopes and blessings he obtained after cracking the copies of nightmare fragments and resolving the obsessions in those nightmares!

He just didn't expect them to appear in the form of game points.So the game points obtained every time you clear the level are actually the hope and blessing from the copy of the nightmare fragments?

... No wonder it is so omnipotent.

As Bai's thoughts turned, the game points flickered wildly.

The numbers belonging to the game points changed rapidly, like a crazy hourglass, and the 730 points dropped at an unimaginable speed.

730...630...530...

While the points were being consumed continuously, an inexplicable feeling quietly arose in Bai Yi's heart.

He felt as if he had become a magnet, and the countless star fragments floating around were flying iron filings.He seemed to be able to vaguely sense the strength of the suction between each star fragment and himself all of a sudden, no matter whether it was near or far.

Complying with this inexplicable induction, Bai Yi walked through countless star fragments until he finally stopped in front of a certain star fragment. He slowly reached out and touched it with his fingertips.

The burst of starlight flooded his entire field of vision.

·

It still felt like floating out of the deep sea, and when the suffocation subsided little by little, Bai Yi slowly opened his eyes.

"???"

There was complete darkness in front of him.

It is more thorough than that piece of deep sea floating with star fragments.

If it weren't for the absence of glowing star fragments around him, he would have almost thought that he hadn't entered the nightmare fragment dungeon, and was still floating in the deep sea that condensed the nightmare of the infinite world.

The touch under his body was a bit soft, but it wasn't the softness of the bed, it felt more like soft soil to him.

He felt as if he was lying on the ground, and he could vaguely smell the smell of soil in his nostrils, but this earthy smell was mixed with foul smell, corruption, and an indescribable smell.

Vision is temporarily useless, but this body's sense of smell is unexpectedly sensitive. The first thing he smells is all kinds of messy smells from the surroundings, followed by hearing.

Silence, not a single sound, not even the wind.The absolute silence makes the whole world seem so empty and empty.

Combined with the wet soil, dirty air...

All these features make people have to think of a cemetery.

Ahh, could it be that a skeleton came out of the ground in the next moment, and its pale palm directly grabbed his ankle?

Bai Yi couldn't help thinking this way.

Unfortunately, what was imagined did not happen.

In this dead silence where only the beating of the heart in his own chest can be heard, the system's narration is long overdue.

Don't ask how he can see the narration clearly in the darkness, the question is that the essence of the system is higher than the illusion of nightmare fragments.

[This is a world shrouded in eternal night. ]

[From the day you were born, the world you have seen is only endless night. ]

[The sun, the moon, and the stars are just stories and fantasies told by your mother when you were a child.It's something you've never seen before, a product that exists only in concept. ]

[She tells you that a long time ago, the world was divided into two halves by night and day. The moon and stars hung high in the night sky, like gems inlaid in the sky. When the sun appeared, the moon, stars, and night all driven back by his light. ]

[All things grow under the radiance of the sun.His light is warm and long-lasting, and it is the source of life in this world. ]

［——That is an incomparably beautiful and splendid world. ]

[But you haven't seen any of these. ]

[You cannot imagine what the sun, the moon, and the stars look like.You don't feel that the light is such a warm existence. ]

[In this world of eternal night, light represents death. ]

[Beasts hidden in the depths of the darkness, monsters more ferocious than beasts, any light source that suddenly lights up, will attract their attention. People who create light sources in the dark are the most stupid, they will only become dark biological prey. ]

[—Your mother is such a sad prey. ]

[She has been chasing the light all her life, longing for the sun in the story. All her fantasies and longings come from the person who saved her life when she was young. That person told her the story of the sun, the moon, and the stars, saying that It is the reality of the world. ]

［—And that person spent his whole life pursuing the truth, hoping to make this world of eternal night bright again. ]

[So that person's vision also becomes her vision. ]

[... She passed this longing to you again. ]

[Holding this longing, the light, which is dangerous to everyone, has become what your mother keeps chasing. ]

[She takes you to survive in this eternal night, constantly exploring and chasing the imprint left over from the past, and wants to get close to the glorious world where the sun, moon and stars have never fallen. ]

[But in the dark night, the closer you get to the light, the more dangerous it is. ]

[Not long ago, she accidentally discovered a glowing plant and kept it with her, keeping it well hidden.However, one day not long after, you accidentally turned out the plant named marigold by you, and dropped it on the ground by mistake.The covered light was released mercilessly, attracting monsters from the deepest part of the night. ]

[—You have completely lost your memory of that night. ]

[Just remember my mother shouting: "Run away!"]

[These are the last words she utters. ]

[Then, the gentle voice of the mother turned into the meaningless ravings of the monster, and the soft palm she was holding you quickly deformed and slipped... She pushed you into the depths of darkness with her last rationality. ]

[I don't know how long you have been fleeing in the chaos. ]

[Until you hit something, you keep rolling, rolling, rolling, and finally stop. ]

[You stumble like a baby who is born into the world for the first time, confused and chaotic, with neither the joy of life nor the pain of death, and you don’t know what is the meaning of wandering in the world. ]

[You are lying in the soft mud exuding a filthy smell, and suddenly think of what your mother chanted when you were a child. ]

[Especially the sun she longed for infinitely, bringing life to all things, endowing the world with brilliance, and driving away all darkness. ]

["If you don't know what's the point of living in this world..."]

[A thought suddenly arises in your mind. ]

["Just try to chase the world she dreams of."]

[The man who saved her life and gave her hope told her so——]

["Never give up chasing the sun. In this world of eternal night, this is our last insistence as human beings."]

[If the sun that banishes all darkness comes again, the mother who died in the form of a monster will also be redeemed. ]

[—Your empty heart is rekindled. ]

["The world is a mistake."]

["Eternal Night is wrong, monsters should not exist."]

["Only the eternal sun can purify all this."]

[Mission: Sun!sun!sun! 】

【——Let the eternal sun come down to the world and burn all the filth away! 】

"Creating a sun in a world without a sun..."

"It really is a child's fantasy."

Bai Yi put her palms on the ground and slowly sat up her upper body.Judging from his immature palms, this body is probably ten years old at most.

He ignored the mud on his palms, and just looked up at the sky. The sky, which was thicker than ink, looked like a big hollow hole, without any trace of stars, as if this world was just floating in the universe. An isolated island, a speck of dust wandering in the void.

Bai Yi blinked and suddenly laughed.

"However, I like such a challenging task~"

He stood up, chose a random direction, and was about to start exploring this brand new copy of nightmare fragments, but just after taking two steps, Bai Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Something is wrong between the legs...

He lowered his head slowly, although he couldn't see anything, but a bad premonition had emerged in his heart...

Let his smile faintly have a tendency to split.

"It's actually... a girl?"
