If Possible, Please Let It Give Off One Last Ray of Light!

Life is a play.

We met because of fate.

Although Su Mo had some guesses and judgments about the origins of the Expeditionary Force Expeditionary Force arriving at the base, he had not been able to do so.

But now, we hear the information conveyed in Su Deben's voice.

Su Mo was stunned! Before this, he had always wondered why humans from the wasteland had suddenly come here.

But he never imagined that this was a betrayal from his own people.

Was it one of our own people who opened the so-called "door," giving the game an opportunity to forcibly abduct humans? "It's all a cycle; just when we think we have our actions under control, that's precisely when we lose control!"

"You come and see for yourself!"

After gesturing at the air for a while, and realizing that the Virtual Reality had disappeared, Su Deben could only scratch his head and continue to speak.

"Su Mo, what I'm about to say may seem unbelievable, but it really happened!"

"We humans have once held many divine positions in this world!"

"When our Expeditionary Force had just opened up the road to this world, with the help of the game, we virtualized this world to a certain extent. To put it simply, everyone who enters this world becomes a 'player'!"

"Unlike players like you who only have some stats and a few secondary abilities, back then, even if we died, we could immediately resurrect in a designated place in the wasteland, just like the Fourth Cataclysm!"

After uttering a trendy word, Su Deben slowly stopped.

Despite being a robot's body, his uncontrollable trembling revealed his excitement.

"This is the most glorious time for humanity on this land. All different kinds of alien races will fear us. We are not afraid of death, and we are even less afraid of sacrifice."

"When one person stands up and shouts, hundreds of millions of people follow behind and charge forward."

"But it was precisely at this point of maximum arrogance that the game spiraled out of control!"

Startled, Su Mo, who had been listening intently, immediately realized what was happening.

"Huh? Out of control? Could it be that it has lost the ability to resurrect?"

Su Deben nodded. "Yes, overnight, all our resurrection abilities disappeared. Faced with the natives' counterattack, our expansion brought enormous losses in an instant."

"In just three days, more than half of our human gods perished, and the rest hastily opened portals to try and return."

"But as you know, the other side of this portal isn't our Earth, and we can't go back!"

"The sins of that war are irreparable to this day."

"In the Wasteland Time, or rather, in the Human Era, on December 21, 2012, the mad first-generation Expeditionary Force Gods opened a staggering 6,896 portals in an attempt to find their way back to our Butterfly Timeline, but they failed and instead unleashed the most horrific carnage in the history of this wasteland!"

"Some of these portals remain unexplored to this day, but others, once opened, have seen large numbers of excited humans rushing in to explore."

"Unfortunately, in the war that engulfed the entire world, almost everyone who entered at that time died, and this world was completely destroyed!"

After saying so much in one breath, Su Deben was panting heavily.

Moreover, this exhaustion is not physical, but mental.

To confess one's sins and personally recall the horrific massacre of yesteryear is nothing short of torture.

"So, we entered this world because someone discovered the portal you opened back then, and entered it, triggering the rules?"

Su Deben nodded emphatically. "Yes!"

"Each different Earth timeline and wasteland has a different time difference. It is very possible that one day on Earth is a year here. According to the time of opening, the Earth time we located at that time was January 1, 2000!"

"If you didn't actively discover and enter, then it must mean that the previous wave of humans in the wasteland all died, and the game randomly abducted a new batch of people to continue its mission."

On the dashboard.

At this point, the altitude had reached 48,000 meters.

Even here, there is still light, and white clouds still drift by.

But after hearing Su Deben's words, Su Mo felt as if the clouds had parted and the light had appeared.

"And after this great battle, the sinners who remained were divided into three factions."

"The first group chose to retain their gamer identities, continuing their activities in the wasteland and secretly supporting the best among the new players to minimize human casualties."

"The second group will give up their gamer identities and become ordinary people again, relying on technology to try to decipher the secrets of this wasteland and find a way to close all the remaining portals!"

"As for the third group, they are the gods who existed before us humans. I don't know if they left this world for other places or continued their efforts in places we can't see. Anyway, I haven't seen this group for at least ten years!"

"And the place we're heading to now is precisely where we suspect the third group of people might be, to seek their help!"

"After saying all that, you should know why we failed!"

Su Mo nodded. "Because he doesn't have divine status?"

"Yes, being a deity is like a ticket; you need to have that to be eligible to enter, otherwise... slap!"

Making a firework explosion gesture, Su Deben laughed heartily, got up, and went to rummage through the clutter in the back.

He had said everything that had been weighing on his mind.

He even felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

Especially on the eve of his death, looking at the ever-changing clouds behind the huge observation window.

He felt a sense of anticipation, as if the clouds had parted and the moon was shining through! A moment later, Su Deben pulled a stone from the pile of junk and sat down again next to Su Mo.

"Su Mo, my father was once the God of Light of this land, and he wielded the power of light!"

"Unfortunately, he later perished in the darkness along with the other gods."

"This is the last thing he gave me before he left, if possible."

"Please let it shine one last ray of light!"

He handed over the stone, Su Deben "tiredly" closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, pretending to doze off.

The connector that connects the robot and the Brain Box snapped shut, indicating that the connection had been broken.

On the eve of passing through the barrier.

Su Deben claimed he wasn't afraid, but he still didn't dare confront his inner demons! Not everyone is a high monk who has seen through the illusions of the world.

The more you know, the more afraid you are of dying!

Unfortunately, Su Deben returned too quickly.

Not only did they not see Su Mo stand up in shock, but they also didn't see the white light suddenly burst forth from the stone he had put down! Authority!

In such circumstances, they actually delivered themselves to our doorstep!

"This"

"Is this... a privilege belonging to the Light?"

While Soma was pondering the facts he had just recounted, Su Mo was still thinking about them when Su Deben brought the stone over.

But when he put it down and returned, a casual system assessment made Su Mo stand up in shock.

[Holy Stone (0.46% Wasteland Operation Authority)]

[Description]: In the darkness, countless stars appear; in the light, a single speck of dust is seen. In darkness, one is one; in light, one is many. Hold onto it, and you will be the most dazzling presence in the darkness, unseen even by dust. If you have decided to bring light to everyone, then hold onto it firmly.

[Current Permission]: 0.46% [Permission Interpretation]: Light [Permission Power]: By choosing to inherit the permission, you will have one opportunity to modify the "Light" attribute every 15 Wasteland days. You can freely modify the effects of light (the number of uses cannot be accumulated; it is recalculated after each use. The cooldown time decreases as your permission increases). [Cost ①]: Holding this permission will mark you as an "Old God," completely blocking you from the game and preventing you from using any Game Panel functions (unless your permission reaches 51% or higher).

[Cost ②]: The modifying power that comes with the access privileges will attract the game's attention, and the greater the extent of your use, the higher the probability of being discovered.

[Cost 3]: Once discovered, your privileges will be revoked, and you will be marked by the game. Within a 500,000-kilometer radius of you, the calamity multiplier will be increased by a default of 500,000 times.

[Comment]: In fact, people are the same as trees. The more they yearn for the sunlight above, the deeper their roots must extend into the dark earth.

Compared to the authority of the Food God.

This small 0.46% of light, though small, truly carries an attribute! Su Deben's father did indeed leave him a good thing.

It would indeed be a pity to lose it.

But upon seeing the final evaluation, Su Mo gained a clearer understanding of why Su Deben had never been able to control this thing.

"From this perspective, the Food Authority should also be a gift left behind by the first gods."

"Righteous Bandit."

"Truly for the greater good of humanity!"

Picking up the Holy Stone, switching to its Second Form, Su Mo gently crushed it.

Suddenly, a warm light swept over and enveloped Su Mo's left arm.

It seems that other permissions have been detected within Su Mo's body.

The next second, a beam of light also appeared on Su Mo's right arm, which was the authority of the Food God.

At this moment, the two abilities that governed different areas began to blend together within Su Mo's body.

With Su Mo as its vessel, the light spread up the upper arm and gently touched the center of the chest.

The white light was mixed with a touch of sophisticated gray, reminiscent of food, giving it an exceptionally elegant appearance.

Su Mo's 1% privileges have finally seen another significant increase, slowly climbing to 1.46%!

Within the game's permissions, a significant amount of control abilities have been permanently lost!

At least from now on, the game should never interfere with disasters related to light again! "Not bad, this time we've really gained a lot!"

"Not only do we have eight research talents, but we also have a senior manager who can lead troops, plus this 'Light Authority."

Even if we don't find the Ocean God, we've still made a huge profit!

Looking at the stone that had shattered into powder, Su Mo thought for a moment, then raised his head and swallowed it all.

With the blessing of two kinds of authority, Yang Jian's body, though still a mortal, has undergone earth-shattering changes inside.

Digesting these stones is no problem at all!

Then, Su Mo took out a unit of stone and a chisel from his spatial storage.

After refining the Holy Stone according to my memory, I re-extracted it.

Su Mo then personally drilled a hole in it, attached a string, and hung it around his neck.

Be careful and cautious.

The further along the game progresses, the higher the probability of the game going insane if you want to acquire more than 51% of the equity.

And in such an important matter, we must do it to the extreme!
