Volume 8: Glass Chapter 707 Despair
Another week of eternal night passed.
People's fear of the darkness is growing stronger.
This is due to the instinctive desire for light. Endless darkness will only make people feel uneasy and lonely. People pray constantly, hoping that the sun will rise as usual and illuminate the world.
Even if it is that strange sun that is half white and half black, it is still the sun and can bring light... People have long been accustomed to all this. Even if it undergoes strange changes, people would rather endure such changes.
Nor do I want to accept this endless night.
Due to the lack of sunlight, problems such as reduced crop yields, material shortages, and disorder emerged one after another... The Pale New Calendar seemed to have entered the Dark Ages, and the name of the Dawn Empire had become a joke.
The blazing sun has retreated, and the dawn is gone.
Only the long and silent night can place people in the furnace of despair, where they suffer and wait for the final product called "destruction" to emerge.
The prestige of the royal family and the officialdom is gradually declining.
However, people's piety towards the sun god Liefu is growing day by day.
Just at this moment.
The frequency of the flickering white light in the night sky became faster and faster, and the number of blue meteors that occasionally streaked across the sky also increased day by day. On the fourteenth day after the night fell, a gorgeous but disturbing large-scale meteor shower appeared.
Strands of brilliant green light streaked across the sky, like ripples on a black ocean, and the entire world was shrouded in a flowing green light.
There were constant loud noises, vibrations and strong winds, and people even began to doubt whether this world was still real or just a dream.
Because it is really too absurd.
Shortly after the meteor shower ends.
A flash of light as bright as day appeared suddenly -
It lasted for nearly ten minutes before it faded away, and the world returned to the endless darkness.
And countless people's cognition was quietly tampered with in this white light.
"The Sun God Liefu is being attacked by the evil God Cang Yi King. The world is entering into eternal night, with no more light..."
"Only by praying to the great sun and singing devoutly can the evil god retreat and light return..."
"Spit on the evil King of Gray Clothes, curse his true name, overthrow his faith, burn his church, and embrace the return of the sun..."
The supreme fight in the astral realm continues.
And the fierce father once again used the power of "fraud" of the stars to make the world hate King Cang and miss the light... Although He has lost control, he still launched a great power to the world because of his instinctive desire for "anchor points" and "reason".
Even though the times are different now, King Cang's status is comparable to that of a true god, and his mysterious resistance is extremely strong... But as the strongest being with ten points of power in the Anita continent, Lie's father still affects people's cognition.
Although the degree of this is not serious, it is a bombshell for people who are in an "atmosphere of despair" at this stage.
Public opinion in the empire is boiling!
Feelings of anxiety and dissatisfaction were ignited!
From the common people to the rich and powerful, and even the low- and middle-sequence extraordinary people in the mysterious realm, they all developed a feeling of disgust towards the Empire and the Church of Dawn... As for the King in Cang Yi, they hated him to the core.
If it weren't for this damn evil god, the sun would still rise, and light and warmth would bless the world, instead of endless darkness like it is now.
Everyone hid underground like rats. Having a full meal became a luxury, not to mention having to worry about other people for fear of being persecuted.
All of this is blamed on the King in Cang Yi!
It was He who destroyed everyone's happiness and beauty!
In just a few days.
The number of riots in the empire soared rapidly, and people even dared to gather and march in the dark, attacking the Dawn Churches in various places, throwing torches, and even attacking clergy.
The Church of the Sun, which had been in seclusion in the royal city of Amberspet, was led by the three saints, and gathered a large number of fanatical sun believers and rushed to the Prideful Sun Palace.
But the Dawn Empire is now protected by the four great orthodox churches, and these remnants of the Sun Church were unable to cause much trouble and were dealt with by the Generous Council.
But because of this, the seeds of hatred took root and sprouted, thriving on the soil of the empire...
…
…
…
"Brother Beizi, do you think the main storyline of this game is coming to an end?"
The Dragon King asked.
The Polaris team was sitting around a round table in the attic of a mansion in the royal city, looking at the night view outside the window, their eyes reflecting the flickering white light and shooting stars.
Because Chen Lun has completely taken control of "Paoying" and become the "game administrator", the players' database is protected by him and has not been tampered with by Lie's father's cognition.
Similarly, the creatures in the fairyland, even the clergy who possessed the Silver Snake Ring and Queen Anna were not affected.
"have no idea."
Polaris sighed and shook his head.
He stared at the night sky and said in a deep voice:
"The game forums are arguing about this... As the seven most powerful gods in this world, the Sea God Eternal Sleeper and the Blood God Lady Rose died in the hands of the teacher within a dozen days of each other. Now even the Sun God Fierce Father has become his hunting target."
"Why did King Cang kill these true gods?"
Honey Yuzu asked in confusion.
Polaris took a deep breath and expressed his guess:
"I suspect that the teacher's hunting of the seven gods this time is most likely a supreme ritual for becoming a god."
"Becoming a god?!"
The rest of the team members were all shocked.
Polaris nodded.
"Teacher once said that not only in this game world, but also in the real world we live in, there are terrifying existences beyond the sequence outside the starry sky... I think, most of them want to obtain more powerful power and start to solve this final crisis."
"this……"
The team's top players looked at each other in disbelief.
"Can this be true?"
“I don’t think it’s fake…”
At this time, the centaur looked hesitant and whispered.
"Have you forgotten that the 'Ark' spacecraft launched by the Azure Federation was destroyed when it passed through the solar wind? Jack said at the time that the entire solar system had long been blocked by a terrifying existence, and we humans have no hope of escaping."
"Zhao! Stop talking, it's getting more terrifying!"
Goutoujin rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and quickly stopped the topic.
However, the hearts of the people in the Polaris team were shrouded in dark clouds.
They looked out the window in tacit understanding.
The night sky was still flashing with white lights and shooting stars. Everyone knew that it was the ongoing war between the Supreme Gods in the star realm. They just didn't know the specific situation or when it would end...
…
…
…
Time flies and half a year has passed.
And the eternal night lasted for half a year.
Public opinion in the empire had already reached its peak, and the authorities had no choice but to send out troops and internment camps to suppress it, and martial law was imposed in various places.
For a time, the atmosphere was depressing and the conflicts became more acute and intense.
In the mysterious realm, no one knows what is happening in the astral realm.
But judging by the flickering white light in the night, the battle seemed to be still fierce. There were even several times when people saw with their own eyes that the sky was cut open by the pale sword curtain, revealing the dazzling and scorching golden-red vision.
Some people were burned by the light, some spontaneously combusted on the spot after looking directly at the truth, and some people saw clearly what was happening inside.
Even though it was only a fleeting moment, the gods in the fairyland who were paying close attention to this matter still caught the figure and outline that flashed by.
"Mr. Jingyao seems to be injured..."
The gatekeeper Fredetri was on the observatory of Abaseye in Tianyuan, and saw the night sky of the real world through the void.
He looked worried and smoked a cigarette gloomily.
However, Jiaoyang, the three ladies of pain, the God of Cats and others had solemn expressions on their faces, because they all saw the scene where the figure in gray clothes was fighting the golden figure alone.
But the situation doesn't seem optimistic.
"Father Lie is too powerful, and we are in the Star Realm. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Jack to win this battle..."
Maggie said with a sigh.
"Impossible! Do you know how many copies of the One Divine Being Jack has burned? Even if Sebastian Pardo and Marialena were resurrected, the two together could not be His opponent!"
The bleak lady Judelia glared at the Cat God and said firmly.
"No matter how powerful Father Lie is, he can't win! He will definitely die! If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"
The angels were silent. They knew that Judelia was Jack's sister, so she said that...but the reality was not as optimistic as she said.
The Cat God Maggie glanced at the girl in the red dress and didn't say much. She just continued to look at the real world and stared at the changes in the night sky.
They also don't want Jack to win...
However, the Sun God Fierce Father has already left an eternal and powerful impression in their hearts. It would be extremely difficult for King Jack, who has reached his current level in just over a decade, to defeat Him.
In the eastern part of the empire, Yanbang Peacock City.
In the city shrouded in darkness, only the street lamps on the main roads were burning. The faint light shone through the lampshades and fell on both sides of the road. Countless local residents were crawling on the ground, with light and shadows intertwined.
They were bowing their heads and reciting the prayers of the Dawn Church.
It was not because of their devout faith, but because the nuns of the Dawn Church were distributing food and fresh water along the way... If they did not show respect to the Dawn Gods, they would not be able to get the supplies they needed for survival.
"You are the door to a great chapter, the beginning of a grand epic..."
"You are the final act of the highest drama, the end of all myths..."
"You are the lord of the fairyland and the spirit world, the protector of foreigners, the blue-robed king of the sinless..."
A team of hundreds of nuns walked through the street in an orderly manner. They were wearing loose gray robes, white cloth hats on their heads, and holding woven baskets in their hands, which contained rice, milk, bread and kettles.
These nuns had pious expressions, their eyes lowered, and they chanted prayers about the King of Gray Clothes in unison.
The holy and solemn singing echoed in the quiet streets.
It gives people a spiritual baptism, like a spring breeze.
Walking at the front of the team was a woman wearing a black nun's uniform, with long light blonde hair tied up in a bun, and also wearing a white cloth hat. It was Flori... But today, she was no longer the Pope. Instead, she was the Sister of God and the wife of King Cang, leading a team of nuns to help the people.
"Give out Holy Communion."
Floy stopped and spoke in a disembodied voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty Floyd."
The nuns nodded their heads in agreement and immediately walked towards the crowd holding their woven baskets.
Suddenly, the common people on the street crawled forward, scrambling to take the food from the nun's hands. Some of them wolfed down the food on the spot, while others suppressed their hunger and thirst and hid the food in their arms, as if they were planning to take it home for their loved ones.
At this moment, someone suddenly threw stones at the nuns from the crowd.
call out--
A fist-sized stone was about to hit a young nun in the face, but the nun remained pious and calm, with her eyes lowered, as if she could not see the coming attack.
Suddenly, the stone seemed to touch something invisible in mid-air and was instantly burned to ashes by a ball of black flame.
Ashes flew across the side of the nun's cheek.
The crowd cried out in fear and commotion.
Attacking the clergy of the Church of Dawn is a serious crime, especially at a time when the nuns are distributing food and helping civilians...
"The King of Cang Yi is an evil god! Don't be fooled by them again!"
A young man stood up, his face full of resentment and unwillingness.
He threw the food in his hand to the ground, ignoring the people around him grabbing it, and then stretched out his arms and shouted:
"The existence believed in by the Dawn Church is harming our great Sun God! The lowly King of Cang Yi blasphemed the light and brought us disaster and darkness! Everyone, stand up! Pray to the sun and call for light!"
