Lu Yin was dragged to the place where the light was missing, filling the void. The light all around him seemed alive as it converged on him. Every beam felt like an endless weight. When they touched his hands, legs, and head, it was as if he were being crushed by a giant.
Countless people watched, their eyes bloodshot with fury.
Human Civilization had finally turned the tide, so why had this happened again?
