Two hundred and twenty-three. The old man walks in the world, and his gleam will eventually go out
Everything happened suddenly.
For the Church of Twisted and Vine, whether it was the return of the God of the Deep Sea led by Lu Li, or the news he brought back.
"The prophet didn't know this?"
Lu Li looked at the other end of the real library.
"He is still sleeping..."
The twisted figure in the form of Saint Elena whispered.
But maybe Lu Li bringing the news was the future he acquiesced to.
And the God of the Deep Sea, who learned of the existence of the Eternal Dreamer, recited in a low voice: "His experience is older than ours..."
But unlike the ancient ones who were given time because they were powerful, the Ever Dreamers were powerful because they were given time.
"We will retreat into underground passages, investigators' bases, and night watch secret rooms..."
Sitting in a real library, they have many escape routes.
The God of the Deep Sea refused to hide from the Church of Twisted and Vine. At this moment, He revealed the reason for arriving at the Allen Peninsula.
Light drives out darkness.
The God of the Deep Sea wants to make the Allen Peninsula a place where darkness cannot enter.
"This is the gift I have prepared for you...a place of light."
The power of the God of the Deep Sea continues to flow away, and before disappearing completely, he turns his power into a gift that only the ancients can give.
"Without the clouds, the starry sky will be exposed." Lu Li said.
"The power of me and the clouds will block the projection of the starry sky."
The God of the Deep whispered, saying that the clouds were entangled with an ineradicable filth that hindered and protected them.
Lu Li guessed that filth refers to plant disasters.
Before the God of the Deep Sea sacrifices himself, they have one last thing to do: choose a site.
Lu Li's allies are scattered across the Allen Peninsula. Far away from Belfast, the sea cliff used for refuge becomes meaningless, and Anne's growth will eventually become a limitation.
They wanted to choose new territory to claim ownership of the Arran Peninsula.
Belfast is the center of the Arran Peninsula.
Onyx Lake is the center of Belfast.
Although the breath worms and their descendant vampire monsters now occupy it, the God of the Deep Sea can easily turn them into flesh and blood soil that can provide Annie with a lot of nutrients.
The weirdness of Belfast trembled under the majesty of the ancient one, but the God of the Deep Sea did not have much time left to take care of them.
In the sadness of the Elm Forest, they moved Annie to the island in the center of Agate Lake and buried her in the soil.
Lu Li encountered obstacles when persuading his allies, the Twisted and Vine Church, to move.
Without the foreknowledge of the prophet, He would not move to Agate Lake until he saw that the light was indeed pouring down on this deep land.
However, in order to protect Lu Li and Annie in Agate Lake, Twisted Figure and the camp next door each sent a team of believers to help guard the shores of Agate Lake.
Anne of Missing Elm Forest needs shelter.
The prophet who left no revelation cast a shadow over what the God of the Deep will do.
The connection with Weiner Freeze Port was vague, and it was not until the other side of the communication became assistant Valendo that it became stable.
He said that many citizens had evacuated to underground shelters, and Mayor Mateus was busy going around to calm the citizens and maintain order.
It's just that everyone is pessimistic.
Many people did not have time to escape into the underground shelter. They are fathers, wives, elders, and children. And they do not know how long the darkness that cannot be dispelled on the surface will last.
Maybe the god of the deep sea should let the sun shine on the ice-free harbor of Vina, but it's too late.
A few dozen minutes ago, a message came from the Swamp Mother, and darkness enveloped the swamp.
There is no weirdness lurking in the darkness, because it itself is weirdness, a kind of pollution. It affects the place shrouded by it all the time.
The Swamp Mother, who has completely mastered the Shadow Swamp, is barely able to avoid being eroded by the darkness. This is related to the fact that her servants are all weird.
The news from Midnight City dispelled Lu Li's speculation about whether the Vina Freeze Harbor could withstand the darkness if the Inquisition had not been blocked. Even Midnight City, which had declared asylum, was forced to evacuate the surface and hide underground.
But now, darkness is coming from the north, and a darkness deeper than the dark clouds appears in the sky.
"Will you die from this?" Lu Li asked the slowly rising God of the Deep Sea.
"I may die, or I may fall into a long sleep and wake up downstream in the long river of time."
The God of the Deep Sea lowered his head and chanted softly in the shadows.
"If there is no torch, I am the only light."
His insignificant yet world-filling figure disappeared into the depths of the clouds.
The surging darkness in the distance is approaching, but the clouds are still calm.
But gradually, something began to change subtly.
The strong wind began to howl, sweeping debris into the air. Black waves like ink roared and raged.
The approaching darkness is getting closer and closer, and the Watchtown at the foot of the mountain has disappeared. The darkness climbs Mount Sugard, and then engulfs the last piece of land on the Allen Peninsula.
The primitive darkness surged around him, everything lost meaning in it, some kind of existence corroded Lu Li, and the countdown to the dark disaster also sounded silently.
Did He fail?
Just when Lu Li had this idea and was about to retreat underground, a dull golden color appeared in the depths of the darkness.
The golden yellow becomes brighter and brighter, and the endless darkness is unable to resist its spread. It is driven back and dispersed, revealing its current appearance.
Like the eye of a storm cloud, the cloud cover breaks through cracks, and golden slanted light leaks into the world from behind the clouds, spreading to the restored tranquility of the sea and the dilapidated and silent city below.
In the Church of Twist and Vine, the face of Saint Elena calmly looks at the beam of light falling from the clouds.
In the dark alley, the team of rat men who fled from the aura of the God of the Deep Sea stopped and raised their ugly rat heads to look at the light falling into the city.
Countless eyes lit up in every corner of Belfast, looking at the sunshine that had never appeared before.
At the top of Sugard Mountain, the quiet and beautiful Agate Lake reflects the light.
Lu Li stood quietly under the Annie tree that was swaying gently due to the sunshine and breeze.
A figure stood beside him, shoulder to shoulder.
Snap.
A black shadow fell from the sky and landed in the soil at Lu Li's feet, revealing the outline of the chess piece.
The God of the Deep Sea succeeded and failed.
He brought light, but only to Belfast.
Lu Li picked up the Doomsday Apocalypse Book and wiped away the dirt.
"It's so beautiful..." Anna's soft voice echoed in the air. "Lu Li, I want to see this scene with my own eyes..."
"I will find you." Lu Li put away the chess pieces and answered the disappearing figure.
"I found you..."
A gentle whisper suddenly sounded in his ears. Throbbing and darkness suddenly enveloped Lu Li, gripping his heart and shrouding his sanity, wandering for a moment before slowly dissipating.
Lu Li raised his calm black eyes and looked around. Anna was not here, as if the uneasiness with the package he heard earlier was just an illusion.
The memory of the "door" he had seen came to Lu Li's mind.
When you hear it, they can see you.
When you see it, they can touch you.
Don't touch it...
Lu Liruo looked into the distance with awareness.
Stationed at the edge of the Agate Lake, a dark, gloomy shadow with no reflection, a pure black shadow that seemed to absorb all light, slowly walked from two groups of believers.
