Glorious God Throne

Pitter-patter…

Terrifying black rain poured down between heaven and earth, washing away the thick layer of stellar debris that had blanketed the sky, revealing the empty vault beyond.

There was no sun, no moon, and no stars.

It was impossible to tell if it was day or night.

The space beyond Blue Star was like a black hole.

In the past, many would have been terrified by such a sight. But now, everyone was rushing to avoid the rain and escape the monsters that roamed the earth, corrupted by the black rain.

In the downpour, countless people rushed toward the nearest buildings for shelter. Only one person walked into the rain, moving against the crowd.

A young woman wrapped in a dirty robe of indistinguishable color stepped out of the church doors, slowly walking in the rain.

Step by step, as the black rain washed over heaven and earth, instead of becoming more defiled, her dirty robe began to clean itself.

With each step she took, the dirty colors on her robe and mask faded away, transforming into pure white, more and more of the filth washing away. Finally, her garments became completely white, with a faint light emanating from the snow-white robes.

The light grew brighter and brighter.

People sheltering nearby who were touched by this brilliant light were amazed to find their corruption slowly fading away, as if they were basking in the warm spring breeze and sunlight.

When they excitedly looked toward that figure, they found her light growing ever brighter as she began to rise up in the radiance. Finally, pure light filled everyone’s vision.

…..

In other nations beyond the Holy Federation.

As people struggled in the rain, light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black world. Countless people looked up in surprise, their wide eyes reflecting a “sun” slowly rising.

Most remarkably, whether in the northern or southern hemisphere, eastern or western hemisphere, from any corner of Blue Star, people could see this brilliantly burning illusory sun.

It seemed to be permanently fixed at its zenith in everyone’s view, releasing endless light across the entire planet.

Like sweet rain after a long drought, a healing power fell upon everyone with this light, quickly fading away the terrible marks of corruption. When it fell on the twisted monsters, it caused many of them to lose their distorted forms and return to their original state as ordinary corpses.

But the black rain had not yet ceased.

The sun’s radiance intertwined with the black rainwater, as if decay and vitality existed simultaneously, death and life coexisted. People who had been surrounded by monsters were able to flee in the rain when the monsters reverted, their bodies constantly shifting between corruption and recovery, giving them enough time to reach safety.

The great rain continued for ten days and ten nights, and the sun in the sky shone for ten days and ten nights.

When the rain finally stopped, countless people basked in the sun’s radiance, finally unable to help falling to their knees, breaking into smiles or tears of relief.

And that sun’s radiance continued to silently shine on everyone.

In their ears, they seemed to hear a satisfied sigh.

It was the satisfaction of a wish fulfilled.

At this moment, those who had been about to completely transform into monsters but received salvation in the final moment by bathing in the sunlight; those in the Holy Federation who had witnessed the young woman walk out of the church; and countless others who had returned from the brink of death…

They looked up at that illusory sun for a long time, their pupils seemingly burned by the solar disc.

Those who shed hot tears exclaimed through laughter and tears, “This must be a miracle!”

Fervent faith transformed into a holy tide, their spirits seeming to resonate with that illusory sun. As they gazed at the illusory sun, they also drew some knowledge from its radiance.

They instinctively learned many holy light spells.

Especially — Purification.

The first batch of Holy Light Mages was born in this world, but these people preferred to call themselves — Chasers of the Sun.

[…Black Day resolved their inner conflict and found themselves again, the Chaser of the Sub became a true sun, completing the salvation that was never completed in the past – this is the ending that belongs to the Child of the Sun.]

The notebook slowly opened, revealing words that had been written long ago.

Bai Yi’s fingers gently stroked across it.

“Child of the Sun…”

— An idealist on the path of “chasing the sun.”

From the moment the hope fragment guided him into that instance, it had determined the role this card would play —

Martyrdom was the final destination for idealists.

Bai Yi dispersed the light of the card in his hand.

From now on, he probably wouldn’t use this card anymore — he had condensed all the power of the Child of the Sun into that illusory sun, hanging in the sky above.

This illusory sun would have dissipated as its energy was depleted.

But due to the card’s ability to absorb legend degree, as this legend continued to spread, as everyone who saw the sun in the sky thought of the story behind it, this illusory sun would continue to draw power as legend degree accumulated.

As long as humanity did not perish, as long as this legend was not forgotten, it would continue to gather energy from human songs and tales.

On some future day, it might become an eternal sun.

This also meant that Bai Yi would receive an eternal nightmare crystal, which was also the best energy source to drive the entire world.

Bai Yi slowly closed the notebook.

His consciousness hung high, once again looking down at the entire world —

The most dangerous and fierce wave of erosion had passed, and now this world only faced the slow erosion of the Return to the Void. Even the wizard world had lasted ten years, so with him as a “true god,” surely they could last at least that long?

As long as they could delay for enough time, whether by following the method of the Life Tower to concentrate the Source power of the entire world and refine Blue Star into a new Void Tower to escape into endless void; or by Bai Yi himself ascending to a sufficient level during the delay to prevent the world’s Return to the Void… both were viable plans to save the world.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Of course, the two could be combined – on one hand delay time to refine the Void Tower and escape with Blue Star, continuing to buy time while escaping, and on the other hand continue to ascend, becoming stronger and stronger until he was powerful enough to resolve everything.

Having completely mastered the system, Bai Yi now knew that he could create the system because of the Principle of All Things that could make the false become real, and he could deploy the system across timelines because after 100% awakening of the Rhythm of All Things, he would have the ability to sense the rhythms of space-time and fate.

Through the efforts of countless Bai Yis, each time the system was deployed to the next timeline, the time node when the system arrived would move forward compared to the previous timeline.

For example, if he received the system after his 17th birthday, then if this timeline failed, the time when the next Bai Yi received the system he deployed might be a few days before his 17th birthday, or maybe his 16th birthday.

In any case, each Bai Yi would get more sufficient time than the previous timeline and a stronger system that had been improved.

— All Bai Yis were their own greatest advantage. As long as they progressed along this path, even if he ultimately failed, the next timeline’s him, or the next next timeline’s him… some Bai Yi would become the final victor.

“However, I don’t want to be the one who fails!”

Bai Yi didn’t want to be trapped in a timeline without a future, waiting for salvation from the eventually victorious version of himself.

“So, it’s time to plan for the future—”

The Web of Thoughts expanded, automatically searching for thought waves.

Invisible waves released outward with the youth at the center, gradually enveloping the entire world. People who had lost contact with others due to communications being cut off suddenly felt their minds waver, as if they had established a connection with some consciousness as deep and boundless as the world itself.

What appeared before their eyes next were distorted words.

“System, activate public beta mode.”

He would forge a new world that avoided the fate of destruction.

Everyone should contribute to the birth of the new world.
