A Bolt from the Blue

Each time a region fell, the sky over all of Rainstone Star turned a mournful grayish-black.

At the same time, a ceaseless rumbling erupted, as if the heavens themselves were weeping.

Including the eighth region where Lin Zhiluo had just placed the Data Disk, a full six regions had now fallen, directly pushing the Doomsday Game System to the point of "severe BUG outbreak."

So this time, the sky's color became even deeper, and the rumbling even more sorrowful.

It had nearly reached the point where Rainstone Star's players would feel overwhelming grief and want to cry from merely seeing it or hearing it.

And yet, within this atmosphere of utter desolation—

Not long after appearing alongside the Heavenly Tribulation Alert, it actually began to slowly subside.

What could possibly have happened to make an atmosphere that should have been mournful begin to recede?

Lin Zhiluo, hovering amid the clouds with Ah Huang, understood this best.

More precisely, he understood better than every Tentacle Race player on Rainstone Star what the golden light gradually spreading through the clouds meant.

Trouble... massive trouble!

Under his watchful gaze, the golden light continued to spread outward, soon no longer confined to the clouds alone.

The sky, originally shrouded in dark clouds and pitch-black, was swiftly covered by endless golden light.

It became as bright as day, while also dazzlingly radiant.

When this light shone upon living beings, it felt extraordinarily warm, as though they were soaking in a hot spring.

Even the air seemed infected by the golden radiance. Breathing it in left one feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Just as the golden firmament reached its peak, a deep, resounding bell pierced through the layers of clouds and rang in the ears of every living being on Rainstone Star.
