(Additional update for the brothers of "Searching in the Sea of Books" [2/5])
After being "eaten in one bite" by Devourer of Worlds, Diakum struggled and fell into Dymus's legendary stomach pouch connected to a black hole.
Sure enough, after entering the stomach pouch and being isolated from the outside world and unable to feel any other life breath, the blood-locking Ancient Fury was instantly released. However, the endless devouring that followed put Diakum into a very dangerous forced confrontation.
The light and heat that belonged to him were constantly being lost. After being swallowed by Devourer of Worlds, the guy almost worked hard to "suck" the energy of Vigilant.
Dymus will do two things now.
Block the outlet of the stomach pouch to prevent Diakum from running out, and then suck in and out like crazy.
Dick felt as if he had fallen into a terrifying centrifuge with tens of thousands of revolutions per second. His light and heat were being continuously stripped away with Glutton's exertion. He was not in a full state and his sunlight quickly dimmed.
Seeing that he was about to be transformed into Voidform for the second time, Vigilant grinned but regained his consciousness and hurriedly took out Shadowed Heart.
This thing drained a lot of energy when it executed those Void Lords that were eager to grab their heads. Now it can be used as a head to buy Diakum some time.
Of course, as Devourer of Worlds is in the state of "eating food" with all his strength, one Shadowed Heart may only buy Diakum time to write a "suicide note".
It has been verified just now.
His accomplishments on the road of Glutton are no match for Dymus. He has only eaten one Demon Star Marduun now, but Dymus has tasted eight hundred if not thousands of worlds.
When Devourer of Worlds appeared before, the mass of fragments of the world that had not yet been fully digested on his chest meant that this guy had even tasted "top delicacies" like Star Soul.
This is equivalent to a "Tandian internet celebrity" competing against a real "state banquet gourmet".
I don't have the strength.
Light-Shadow Twinborn under Voidform needs to extract enough light and heat to allow Diakum to turn into the light. Now it is trapped in Dymus's stomach pouch, where there is no light and heat that can be extracted by him, and the reverse extraction energy cannot withstand the extraction intensity of Dymus.
Even if Devourer of Worlds lets go of his defense and lets him eat, the energy Diakum eats cannot compare to the speed he loses.
In other words, it's basically a dead end.
"I said I planned to go to Shadowlands, but I didn't plan to go there this way."
Diakum will "float" in Dymus's stomach in a weak state, while Shadowed Heart is suspended on his shoulders to support him with a shaky energy shield, buying him some time to prepare to face Devourer of Worlds's devouring.
But to be honest, there is nothing to prepare for.
In the face of this "road struggle", there is no other way except to resist.
Fortunately, since Diakum already knew that he would have a "catastrophe" in Draenor, he was not really unprepared at all.
He took out the last volume of <Light and Shadow Canon> that he had just completed. It was his ultimate deduction of the path he was walking on. Although it was only a prototype of the theory at the moment, it had reached this level. Even if he was not ready, he had to take the risk.
He calmed himself down and returned to the most peaceful state of mind. He opened the last volume of the scripture and looked at his deductions and designs in it.
"Light-Shadow Twinborn seems to be walking Path of Light and Shadow at the same time, but it is still distinct, just like "day" and "night", they switch to each other without interfering with each other. Many big guys have commented that this is just a "trick" Path of Strength.
It is obviously not possible to rely on this tightrope-like balance to maintain my own path in the field of Lesser God. Therefore, I must push the path of Light-Shadow Twinborn to the next stage.
I named it "Light-Shadow Symbiosis".
Or "Light-Shadow Unity"."
Diakum stroked the pages of the book, and the constant beating of Shadowed Heart beside him reminded him of the moment when the protective energy was about to be exhausted. He concluded in his heart for the last time:
"In the previous stage, I was obsessed with maintaining the balance of "light" and "shadow", but ignored that "shadow is part of the light." Without shadow, there would be no light.
"Light" is obviously a composite concept.
Only when shadow exists can light be called "light".
Well, this sounds like nonsense, but it is indeed the truth of light and shadow, so why should we distinguish it so clearly?
Why can't both exist at the same time?
Why can't I use the power from the void when I'm walking under the light, and why can't I suddenly throw out a beam of light to blind my opponent's eyes when I'm wrapped in darkness?
I must break the distinction between "light and shadow" in my own concept, and I must allow myself to embrace my own shadow while standing in the light.
Yes.
I have to do this."
He turned the book to the next page.
A classic hand-drawn drawing of "yin-yang fish" comes into view, but it is a fusion of black and gold. The two coexist with soft curves, and each has the symbol of the other.
They are no longer distinct, but form a whole together.
Diakum So far has not dared to show this thing to the Pandaren Monk masters, for fear that they would develop some incredible stuff that goes straight to the core of the Life Force path.
But if you think about it carefully, the principle of balance is reflected in every force, not just Holy Light and the void.
Diakum stared at the Yin-Yang fish, and in his eyes the thing even started to rotate, making the Holy Light and the power of the void appear as a "dynamically balanced" subject in his eyes.
Holy Light When it is prosperous, the light will fade away and turn into shadow, and when the night is dark, the shadow will ignite and support the light.
They serve as "firewood" to each other and burn each other to achieve the true meaning of "perpetual movement of light and shadow".
This sounds simple, but it's really hard to do.
Because the first requirement for Diakum to realize this perfect Light-Shadow Coexistence is to ignite the "Eclipse pain" he is carrying and make it the fuel for An'she's Glory of Ten Thousand Suns.
He wants to ignite his darkness and make it become part of his light.
How difficult is this?
The believers of An'she have been trying in the sea of stars since Sun God fell into Eclipse. Until now, when the last believer Ordos died, they have not been able to come up with a method that can ignite the darkness of Eclipse.
It can only be said that if there is a problem similar to verifying "1+1=2" between the physical universe and Six Realms, then the difficulty of igniting Eclipse to become the sun's firewood is definitely among them.
"How about I activate the mythical talent of "The Way of Nature" now and jump to Ms. Elune's command?"
Diakum The moment I closed the scriptures and prepared to start the adventure, a very exciting idea of rowing suddenly came to my mind.
Think about it carefully, doesn't Dymus insist on eating him because he wants to take away "Eclipse's power"?
Then if you give up the great cause of igniting the sun at this moment and let Radiant Sun and Eclipse leave you at the same time, there will only be a battle for the road of Glutton between Dymus and yourself.
And after Ms. Elune gave herself a series of powerful talents and paths of Life Force, she might be able to change her job to a "Eredar Night Warrior" on the same spot, and wield the power of the black moon to kill this Devourer of Worlds to pieces.
Hey, it's quite attractive when you think about it, but that's just about thinking about it.
This Blazing Sun Path, I am already halfway through, how can I turn back?
"Buzz"
The moment Shadowed Heart's last trace of energy was taken away by Devourer of Worlds's powerful force, the terrifying sucking and devouring power was exerted on Diakum's body.
Vigilant gritted his teeth and let out a whimper, but then he mobilized the Eclipse pain that he had been suffering from An'she, and introduced the Void Energy from Eclipse into his body in the light form.
This conflict of light and shadow broke out in the first second.
Dazzling energy sparks exploded all over Diakum. The collision between Holy Light and the void caused him to bear pressure from the outside. At the same time, it felt like he had been punched hard inside, and he almost spat out blood when he opened his mouth.
This means that the Sun God body of An'she is strong enough to allow Diakum to make such a "death-seeking" attempt.
If a mortal Light-Dark Walker comes over, the moment it takes the initiative to introduce light and shadow to try to fuse it, it will send a desperate "don't try" message to its peers in a cool "self-destruction" way.
Diakum also feels very uncomfortable.
The feeling of the conflict between light and shadow was like eating a bomb that exploded in his mouth, but he had to try and persevere. The first person to eat crabs had to go through so many hardships before he could find his own path.
What's more, it's a deadly situation right now!
Come on, Uncle Di!
Whether you can survive in Dymus's stomach depends on whether you can complete this "spiritual realization"!
Just when Diakum was about to try for the second time, Dymus's stomach suddenly trembled, as if he had swallowed a piece of red-hot carbon. This must have made Devourer of Worlds very uncomfortable.
Its "black hole stomach" began to twitch at this moment, and the devouring pressure on Diakum was also reduced at this moment.
When Dick raised his head, he saw Mother of Light Xe'ra smashing into the floating gravel in front of Diakum in an awkward posture, roaring like an onion.
There was a loud bang, which was painful to hear.
Well, here we need to explain the structure of the stomach pouch of Dymus.
This place is really like a "ruin of the sea of stars" that remains after devouring all things. In the darkness, there are only the fragments of the world that have been digested. Apart from that, there are only the "star points" of Gleam in the darkness.
Each star point represents a world eaten by Devourer of Worlds
This is hell.
A true "Hell of the Devourer".
Xe'ra "rushed" into Dymus's stomach for what purpose. Diakum knew it without guessing. He sighed, resisted the increasingly strong swallowing suction force exerted by his surroundings, and brought the broken rock he was on closer to the place where Xe'ra fell.
He said:
"Why do you bother?"
"Fate guides me this way, and I am happy with it. Please help me get my broken "leg", thank you."
Mother of Light is very tough in the first half of the sentence, but becomes helpless in the second half.
Her fall was really "broken".
In terms of absolute strength, Xe'ra is not as good as Diakum, and Vigilant was tortured like this by this damn devouring power. The pain of Xe'ra being suppressed and having its energy extracted at this time can be imagined.
Diakum jumped over, enduring the pain of thousands of needle pricks, bringing Xe'ra's broken crystal body together, and then looked at the "Light's Heart" suspended in front of him.
He said seriously:
"Even if you sacrifice yourself now and give me your energy, it won't change the reality. Dymus's strict defense will not allow me to escape from here.
To be honest, I didn't plan to escape either.
After my light is extinguished, Devourer of Worlds still needs to extract the An'she pain I endured from the shadows. If it wants to get the power of Eclipse, it must endure the pain of Eclipse.
Only after these pains are completely swallowed up and transferred will I truly "fall".
The moment the light goes out, my soul will leave the body and go to Shadowlands.
It was a journey that had to be made. The most important thing is that even if the divine body of An'she is eventually destroyed by Dymus, I can be "reborn" in the form of Loa through the faith of Light Weaver and Shadewalker."
He said:
"I have a plan, and I'm not just going to be a martyr when my brain gets hot, but what about you?"
"I have a plan too."
Xe'ra let his sacred fragments rotate around Light's Heart, and let the Eclipse Fragment that followed him here hang suspended in the bright storm of the fragments.
She said to Dick:
"You asked me to light this Eclipse Fragment, and I have found a way.
In fact, the way to ignite her is simpler than you think. Naarus need enough energy and light and heat to return to the light when they fall into the void. If a Naaru completely falls into the void, you have to give it something heavier if you want to bring it back.
sacrifice
Or to put it another way, the kind of "firewood" you have been looking for to light the sun is us, Diakum, we Naaru who were born from the divine body of An'she and live forever in the sea of stars.
Our body and existence come from our father the sun. When the father is eroded by the night, the loyal children will inevitably "return" with the great power given by him.
It's like.
Like this!"
Under Dick's gaze, Xe'ra's divine Holy Water crystal began to "melt" in this dark place, and her existence and energy were sacrificed, turning into the original light and pouring into Eclipse Fragment where Xal'atath was.
The psionic spirit body born in Eclipse screamed, and her Entropius body was being "Lightforged" bit by bit.
The divine energy belonging to Xe'ra took shape in her dark body in the form of pulses and veins.
It's like a "Holy Light return".
Xe'ra chose to sacrifice himself, but it was not used to strengthen Diakum, the Emissary of the Radiance of Ten Thousand Days, but to bring the first dark life differentiated by An'she in the form of Eclipse back to the light.
Just like Diakum once told her.
If they claim to ignite the sun, they have to find a way, and they have to tell this method to all the followers of Holy Light and the sun in the star sea.
That is not the sun of Diakum or Xe'ra, that is the sun that belongs to the entire stars and everything.
"An'she has given us a holy body, and we will return this holiness to our father, turning it into firewood, allowing Glory of Ten Thousand Suns to return to the star sea Mortal realm. This is the inspiration given to me by fate!"
In the increasingly bright light, Xe'ra responded loudly:
"Naaru is the firewood you need, Diakum, and our natural desire for sacrifice and Consecration exist just for this great moment.
Our sacrifice is not the end!
High Heaven has stood above the hearts of millions of People of Light, and our sacrifice in the sea of stars will open the way "home" for us."
"Ah!"
The screams of Xal'atath were accompanied by the transformation of the dim Eclipse Fragment in the golden stream of light. The aura of Xe'ra continued to weaken, while the Holy Light belonging to her was constantly infused with a "new life" attitude.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of Diakum, through a noble sacrifice, this dark ghost was completely transformed into a "Lightforged Entropy Demon".
She did not become a complete Holy Light creature.
This process obviously still takes a while, but the void energy in her body was illuminated and ignited under the guidance of the original Holy Light.
In the new light seen by Vigilant, Xal'atath, the first Eclipse Fragment, embarked on the road to return to Holy Light.
It may take her a while to truly return to the arms of An'she's Sunflare, but this scene has truly verified the feasibility of Diakum's desire to ignite the sun.
If Xal'atath can be ignited, then An'she, which fell into the torture of the void at this time, can also be ignited.
But it would be a bit too cruel to use Naaru as "firewood".
Even if it is what Xe'ra said, all Naaru will embrace such a sacred sacrifice passionately and be proud of it.
Alas, if you can find a place where there are many dead Naaru remains, you can pick them up and use them as "solar firewood" in the cemetery of light, etc.!
Diakum blinked.
Such a sinister place, hiss. It seems like there really is one!
And it happens to be not far from where I want to go. Hey, don't you think this is a coincidence?
