Sun! -Additional update[35]
(Additional update for the brothers of "Searching in the Sea of Books" [3/5])
In the dark stomach of Devourer of Worlds, the two leaders of Army of the Light completed an "experiment" that would go down in the history of the galaxy.
Eclipse Fragment was ignited in a "sacrificial" way.
Considering that Xal'atath is An'she's first creation of the night in the form of Eclipse, and Xe'ra comes from Sun God's first creation when Great Ordering of Light and Shadow was in Great Ordering of Light and Shadow's form, even though the strength of the two is not at the same level, from a symbolic level, they are indeed of the same level.
Xe'ra said she found a way to ignite the sun, and it turned out that Mother of Light had indeed completed this problem.
Even if the price is her life.
However, after Xe'ra, the blind prophet who "believed in destiny all his life" learned that the destiny he believed in was actually shaped by Blackhand behind the scenes, and when she realized that her hundreds of thousands of years of ardent persistence had become a sinister trick to push Star Soul into more chaos and create more deaths, Mother of Light, whose will was about to be broken, was willing to continue living with humiliation.
This in itself is a question worth discussing.
She finally realized why over the past 20,000 years, Army of the Light under her leadership seemed to have forgotten the original intention of unity.
Rather than winning, the fanatical Warriors seem to have sunk into fighting for the sake of "battle".
It's not that they are not determined enough, nor that they are not pious enough. The root of the problem lies precisely with themselves, the founders of Army of the Light.
When the result of People of Light's continued fighting is no longer to protect justice and defeat evil, but instead causes Death Force to continue to expand due to such wars, the very existence of Army of the Light is already contrary to the "justice" that Holy Light Force expects.
She realized that she had become a weapon used by conspirators to harm People of Light, but she had sworn to protect Holy Light in the Xinghai.
This is a self-contradiction.
In other words, in the current situation, she has already realized that only her own fall can bring Army of the Light, which has gone astray into fanaticism and blindness, back on track.
Diakum is unwilling to accept her sacrifice because Vigilant is morally noble.
This incarnation of Sunflare is unwilling to give up on every person in need of help who is treated indifferently by fate. Perhaps in his eyes, he, Mother of Light, is exactly the one who needs help the most among all the People of Light who are in danger.
He is willing to help Xe'ra reverse a series of mistakes caused by blind faith, but Xe'ra also has his own dignity.
She knew that her "voluntary departure" at this moment would be good for everyone, including herself.
When Xal'atath's Eclipse Fragment was finally lit, Xe'ra once again saw High Heaven's sacred door in his already weakened Holy Light.
That is no longer an illusion that is beyond your reach.
Xe'ra felt that his consciousness seemed to be split into two, with one part still remaining in Dymus's black hole stomach, staying in the dim Light's Heart, wanting to say a final farewell to Diakum.
But another part of her has already stepped into this Holy Light's Origin and destination.
Amidst the exclamations of Uncle Huo at the door of High Heaven and other saints from various People of Light worlds, the huge, gorgeous and sacred spirit body of Xe'ra appeared under Faith Stairway.
The Holy Song that belonged to her reverberated, causing her to levitate forward and embark on the long steps of faith amidst the devout kneeling of those earthly saints.
As early as when Xe'ra saw the nine hundred Ninety-nine Steps stairs for the first time, she knew that this thing contained some secret meaning specially set by Diakum, but at this time she no longer had any doubts or resistance.
She stepped onto the first staircase, and the holy bells echoed in High Heaven.
At this moment, the People of Light of the stars, especially those People of Lights who already have their own Holy Light Doctrine, felt something. And at this moment, the people in the Holy Light Realm, through the connection of faith, looked at it like a "live broadcast" and saw that their Mother of Light was transcending faith and returning to Holy Land.
"Let them see it."
Diakum's voice echoed in her ears, Emissary of the Radiance of Ten Thousand Days said in a gentle tone:
"Let the People of Lights of the Star Sea see An'she's Eldest Daughter return to the place of her birth, and let the sacred legend of High Heaven spread in the Star Sea from now on. We have found a way to ignite the sun, and we already know how to fight against the invasion of the night.
There is no need to worry that Army of the Light will lose its direction and disintegrate from the inside after you leave.
All because you will use your departure to guide the confused warriors in the light in a new direction.
That's a direction that's never wrong."
"Yes."
Xe'ra said softly during the climb of Faith Stairway:
"We deserve to light the sun."
With the projection of Holy Light's inspiration and the bond of faith, that voice clearly rang in the ears of every People of Light walking across the stars.
When the war started, Azeroth and Sun King ran to the top of the tower with Sword of Blazing Fire in hand.
His Majesty Kael'thas looked scorchingly at the sky. There was nothing there except the devil's starship. But in the eyes of him and other People of Lights, the High Heaven who had been secretive before finally announced his existence to all People of Lights in the form of "divine revelation" on this day.
They can clearly see Magnificent High Platform standing among the Holy Clouds and Mist.
They can clearly see the Holy Gate who exists bathing in Golden Sunlight. They can see the majestic angels flying around High Heavens. They can also see the "Guardian General" standing in front of the gate, holding a giant blade and glaring like a powerful sculpture.
Uh, that guy looks like a Light-infused Eredun Lord?
Hiss, Greater Demon who has converted to Holy Light?
Isn't this too cultish?
In the eyes of those Holy Light Walker who are not pious enough, this is simply a great blasphemy. They even begin to doubt the authenticity of this Divine Revelation Illusion. But when those People of Light who are pious enough see this scene, they will only praise my great Holy Light Invincible and tolerance!
Even the evil-doing Greater Demon can be recast by Holy Light. Doesn't this just mean that as long as those Lost Oness who are walking in the darkness at this time are willing to turn back, the door of High Heaven will also be opened to them?
Ah, Holy Light is great! Needless to say.
Of course, it was not just People of Light who saw "Heavenly Revelation" on this day, those "Shadowkin" with special status were also inspired.
For example, Void Hunter among Shadewalker Cult.
Greater Demon had just beheaded a Greater Demon, and General Staghelm, who was moving his Warriors under the protection of Saviors Swarm, saw the gorgeous projection of High Heaven. He once thought that he was under a devil's spell and had hallucinations.
But when he looked back and saw General Lirath behind him with his eyes wide open and muttering to himself, he knew that it must be Light Weaver who was behind the scenes again.
Just like the senior leaders of the club who understand people's hearts always draw big, round and delicious cakes for their subordinates at the right time.
At this time, the appearance of Heavenly Revelation in the minds of Shadewalker has actually hinted that they are walking in darkness, but Guardians of Light's Shadewalker can eventually step onto the sacred ladder and go to the beautiful High Heavens to enjoy eternal peace.
Xe'ra is climbing.
In the eyes of everyone from the entire star sea, she completed the climb of the first Ninety-nine Steps with light steps, and then the pure holy bell echoed again, and the five Archangels appeared at this moment.
They surround Mother of Light, sending blessings to her and revealing the way forward for her.
Next is Trial of Faith.
Is People of Light loyal to his own morality, does he have a clear conscience for what he has done in this life, and does his understanding of Holy Light become perfect.
Xe'ra Keep moving forward.
As Mother of Light, there is no need to talk about her persistence in morality and her understanding of Holy Light. The real difficulty lies in the tragic truth that has just been revealed.
Did she intensify the chaos in this sea of stars in the name of Holy Light? Did she create more death and tragedy in the name of Holy Light?
Yes.
Army of the Light has been fighting demons since the moment Burning Crusade was opened. They have expanded the sacred war to every part of this star sea that is burning with war. Their confrontation with demons has involved too many civilizations.
However.
Is it wrong to rise up and resist when you witness the atrocities of evil?
When you see evil spreading, is it wrong to replace the cry of weakness with the roar of weapons?
Without the existence of Army of the Light, how many worlds in this sea of stars would have been destroyed in despair by Iron Hooves of Demons? Without the radiant Gleam, how many miserable lives would have died in resentment and curses?
Without the resistance of Army of the Light, all civilizations in the Holy Light Realm would become war sacrifices to Dark Titan after being burned by the evil fire of the devil!
They did not initiate this war, and their resistance is absolutely sacred.
Army of the Light may not be able to defeat the spreading disasters of those brutal demons, but their existence provides a means for those who are unwilling to surrender.
Use weapons, will and Holy Light of Gleam to replace cowardly begging for mercy and dying in grief and anger, and win the final dignity for yourself and the victims in the last days of your life!
Not giving in to evil and having the courage to face Brutal Era itself is the embodiment of Holy Light's courage.
How can there be any mistakes in such a sacred battle?
Xe'ra is annoyed that she was played and deceived by Eternal Ones, but she will never regret her war and leadership for more than 20,000 years!
What she worried about was the future of those fanatics and blind followers after she left, but she did not think about what had happened and was unable to move forward.
In this way, her steps were heavy, but she still passed Second Tier of the Faith Ladder smoothly.
Before the final Ninety-nine Steps ladder, she has to face the final trial.
Before she bids farewell to this world and enters High Heaven, what kind of teachings and Consecrations does she want to leave behind for her followers and People of Lights in the entire star sea? In what form does she hope that her legend in Material World will be reflected?
What changes does she hope her "Ascension to Heaven" can bring to Xinghai and Holy Light in the future?
Compared with self-torture and Trial of Faith, the third level of Faith Stairway is simply a "reward level". However, if every time a Holy Spirit crosses this long step and steps into High Heaven, he has to go through three cycles like this, then this last stage is actually the "most dangerous".
People of Lights are watching.
The legacy left by the Holy Spirits who came to High Heaven must be shared by everyone. Faith Power from all over the star sea must be connected, gathered and sent to in this way. In High Heavens, this means that every Holy Spirit who crosses Faith Stairway will become a Faith Node of High Heaven and Material Star Sea.
The close connection between Holy Light and faith means that only through this method can the Holy Spirits obtain enough Faith Power and open up a new territory for themselves in High Heaven.
After all, not every Holy Spirit has the same "own flow" as Diakum and Xe'ra, and not every Holy Spirit who is qualified to set foot on Faith Stairway has his own sect and belief.
If what they gave and what they left could not be accepted and recognized by People of Light, then it would be impossible for them to complete this final journey without the blessing of temporary faith.
To put it simply, because the construction period of "High Heaven" Project Development Department" was delayed, Diakum adopted a very flexible "self-build house" policy. But if you want to settle in "High Heaven Community", you have to pay some "property fees", right?
The rules of the Holy Light Realm are like this. The gathering of beliefs of People of Light in the star sea has shaped this place. If you want the area of the Force Realm to continue to expand, it is necessary to make good use of every ounce of belief.
The area of the Supreme Sky today is not even one hundred thousandth of that of the Sunless Sea, let alone compared to the wider Twisted Void. This is because the followers of the sun god Anser have long since withered away in the past.
Now Holy Light's realm has been reopened. As the first visitor, Xe'ra has to make a good start.
Mother of Light let out a light laugh.
For Naaru like her, Consecration and sharing are their Tribal Instinct.
So Xe'ra no longer held back, and shared his insights and understanding of Holy Light, decentralizing the secrets, magic and power of the "Pure Light Oath" path he controlled among his followers, and passing on his knowledge of all things in the universe to those Seekers of Knowledges.
This kind of sharing is obviously not restricted by space. Even Kael'thas accidentally understood several of Holy Flame Divine Art's secrets while witnessing this Heavenly Revelation.
It's just like "Divine Power Lottery".
Everyone gets a prize, and it's not in vain.
So, of course, those People of Light people who truly felt the "divine revelation" confirmed the reality of this scene.
They are eager to see Xe'ra set foot on the top of Faith Stairway, they are eager to see the opening of Holy Gate, and they are eager to see the scenery of High Heavens.
Even if it's just for a moment.
Faith Power from all over the sea of stars are gathering together, like invisible hands holding Xe'ra to make her steps brisk, creating a real Ladder of Ascension for her.
Finally, she stepped onto the high platform.
Amid the cheers and prayers of all the onlookers, the majestic "Guardian General" Kazzak touched the ground with its war spear. In the echo like a bell, it made way for Xe'ra.
The Golden Sun pattern of the holy and majestic High Heaven gate is also filled with light. In the sacred rhythm and echo, High Heaven's Gate is opened for the soul from Material World for the first time.
A golden waterfall gushes out from it, embracing Xe'ra's spirit body and reshaping Body of Faith for her.
Xe'ra is a conservative Naaru, and did not choose those overly exaggerated "new skins". She still stood in front of the High Heaven door as Mother of Light, but when she stepped into the door, she turned around.
In the echo of Holy Light, she said to those People of Light who were listening:
"The Void Lords of Sea of Darkness are trying to extinguish our Holy Sun. The ancient and sacred An'she, the Sun God was dragged into the night by the thieves of the void.
They want to see the light of the entire sea of stars fade away.
They hope to see a dead star with no light, no change, and no future.
We deserve to light the sun!
That's not Someone's Sun, that's the sun of all life!
Regardless of whether they are walking on the path of Holy Light, the righteous people in this sea of stars should fight to protect their own light.
At this point, Army of the Light finally found our true mission. At this point, Warrior of Light can finally embark on the return and promotion of Glorious Path.
We declare war on the night, we declare war on the void.
Holy War Under the Blazing Sun started!
People of Light, pick up your weapons and move towards Sea of Darkness!
We must ignite our sun, and we must take back more of our dawns!
High Heaven's Gate will open everything Sunwalkers, High Heaven Master will wear the scorching sun and bring hope to us.
For An'she, for Holy Light!"
"Buzz"
Heavenly Revelation ended in Xe'ra's passionate "Declaration of Jihad".
The entire sea of stars seemed to be quiet at this moment. Even the demons that were raging in various worlds were rare in maintaining their indifference. Even the demons' brains that were not easy to use knew that something big was about to happen.
The reason is very simple. How many People of Light are there in this star sea is a number that even the demons cannot figure out. Although they have been fighting Army of the Light, Army of the Light cannot represent all People of Light.
And now, a copy of Heavenly Revelation brings a copy of Call to War to the life of every person who believes in Holy Light.
Although not every People of Light will respond to this call for war, even if only one percent of them choose to join this "Solar Expedition", it will be enough to shake Sea of Darkness.
Even if not every Warrior of Light is qualified to step into the dangerous Sea of Darkness battle, if Void Creature is slaughtered and punished in this "War of the Blazing Sun", less "outstanding" souls can be allowed to step into Faith Stairway and board High Heavens.
So, what will happen to those void beings who are still hiding in various parts of the star sea and causing trouble everywhere.
Well, good luck to them who are about to experience "Trial of Fire and Light".
