Stealing Heaven and Changing Day

Please select your character.

"Knight."

"Queen."

"Passerby."

"The mysterious person."

Xiao Fan:...

"Is the Cloud Sea Secret Realm really that diverse? You can even choose your identity."

This was the first time Xiao Fan had ever seen such an immersive story-driven secret realm.

He has four roles to choose from.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fan first ruled out passersby.

Passersby are definitely marginalized characters in the plot.

The fact that the character can be either Queen or a knight suggests that this secret realm is associated with a class system.

In this situation, choosing an unidentified passerby is not the right choice.

Secondly, there are the Queen and the Knight, which are the two most clearly defined identities among the four options, and also Xiao Fan's best choices.

He preferred the Queen to the knight.

After all, the Queen has a higher status and can obtain more authority.

The knight might still be in danger.

Finally, there's the mysterious person.

This character is too general.

Not only do they not know his identity, they don't even know whether his stance is right or wrong.

There are too many uncertainties.

"I choose the mystery man."

Xiao Fan chose the mysterious person precisely because of the uncertainty surrounding the role.

This way, he can fabricate an identity based on his actual situation.

If he had known about the previous storyline of "Island of Light," he might have chosen roles like the Queen or the Knight.

However, because Zijin directly slaughtered the secret realm BOSS, he knew nothing about Island of Light.

A mysterious figure suits him better.

After choosing an identity, the surrounding scenery suddenly became distorted.

A moment later, Xiao Fan found himself standing on a small boat, just like when he first entered the <Island of Light> secret realm, surrounded by the same Black River.

Looking around, Xiao Fan did not see Zijin.

My anxious heart finally died.

"Hopefully, there aren't any creatures here that can kill me instantly."

Xiao Fan is currently at full health and cannot trigger the skill <Stealing Heaven and Changing Day>. Without Zijin, a level 100 powerhouse, around, Xiao Fan is somewhat panicked.

At the same time, Xiao Fan noticed that his attire had changed.

He was now wearing a long black robe, with a black cloak over it, and the cloak had a built-in hood on his head.

This outfit is somewhat like...

The first boss in <Island of Light> Dark Bone!

"Could the mysterious person be Dark Bone?!"

Xiao Fan was genuinely a little flustered.

Dark Bone are quite unique in the <Island of Light> secret realm.

He appeared when he and Zijin arrived on the island. At first, his health bar wasn't shown, which clearly indicated that there was a plot to unfold.

Unfortunately, he was killed by Zijin before he could even speak.

If the mysterious person really is him, Xiao Fan really doesn't know how to continue the act.

Unlike the previous wooden boats, this one has a pillar at the bow with a vintage glass oil lamp hanging from it.

The warm yellow halo gently spread out, quietly blending into the surrounding twilight.

Above the Black River, a Ghost Face silently appeared behind Xiao Fan, and then the Ghost Face stretched out a pair of Claw to grab at Xiao Fan.

Ah~

A shrill cry rang out, and Xiao Fan quickly turned around, only to see a wisp of green smoke.

"Is it the Nether?"

Who attacked it?

Is the story about to begin?

Immediately afterwards, one Ghost Face after another appeared beside Xiao Fan's wooden boat.

"How could this be! I knew there would be so many."

Xiao Fan took two steps back, his face pale, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Surrounded by a group of Ghost Face, even with his survival skills, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

These Nether figures surrounded the wooden boat, each with a ferocious expression, as if they were about to rush up and tear him apart at any moment.

Xiao Fan only had one damaging skill, which was far from enough to Undying these Nether, so he dared not make any rash moves.

Finally, one of the Nether couldn't resist and pounced on Xiao Fan.

"Ah!"

When Nether entered the range of the wooden boat, he let out a scream, and then his body turned into green smoke.

"Bang bang bang~"

Xiao Fan could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Although he knew he couldn't be instantly killed, the moment the Ghost Face lunged at him still made his heart race.

Seeing this, the other ghosts showed a hint of fear on their Ghost Face and retreated, but they still surrounded them and refused to leave.

After calming down, Xiao Fan observed the situation and roughly understood what was going on.

These Nether must not approach the wooden boat.

"Could it be a character protection mechanism?"

Just then, Xiao Fan noticed a detail: the Ghost Face kept glancing warily at the oil lamp at the bow of the ship.

"Could it be this oil lamp?"

Xiao Fan stepped forward, took the oil lamp in his hand, and politely shone it towards the Nether on one side.

"Ah!"

The Nether, their faces filled with terror, screamed and retreated dozens of meters.

"So these Nether are afraid of this lamp."

Xiao Fan carefully put the oil lamp away and held it protectively in his arms.

He had to protect this lamp so that it wouldn't be devoured by the Nether.

Xiao Fan didn't know how long he had been drifting on the Black River. The Nether dared not attack him, nor did they leave. They just kept surrounding the wooden boat.

Very strange.

Xiao Fan asked impatiently, "When exactly does the plot begin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, white mist suddenly rose from the river, greatly reducing visibility.

The Ghost Face surrounding the wooden boat suddenly vanished into the white mist.

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Why did they suddenly disappear? Has the plot started?"

Xiao Fan gripped the oil lamp in his hand even tighter.

Just then, the once calm Black River suddenly surged with waves, and the flimsy wooden boat beneath Xiao Fan's feet began to shake violently, causing his body to sway along with it.

Remembering how the Golden Feather in Zijin turned into Ghost Feather the moment it fell into the Black River, Xiao Fan gripped the edge of the wooden boat tightly, desperately trying to stabilize it and prevent it from capsizing. He almost dropped the oil lamp in his hand, which startled him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

This is a treasure, I can't let it fall!

What's going on with this river?

Xiao Fan gripped the oil lamp with one hand and the edge of the wooden boat with the other, using his legs to maintain his balance.

He's having such a tough time!

Just as he was about to run out of energy, the surrounding fog suddenly dissipated.

A huge wooden ship came into Xiao Fan's view.

"There... there's a boat here?"

Isn't this Black River a dead river? How can there be boats sailing on it?

"Could it be that the plot is about to begin?"

As Xiao Fan was surprised, the people on the deck of the wooden boat also saw him.

"Look! There's someone there! The sea is rough tonight, his boat is about to capsize, quick, save him!"

The giant ship slowly approached Xiao Fan's wooden boat, and then a rope was thrown down from the deck.

"Hurry up and get on board! There's a typhoon at sea tonight; your boat won't hold up."

In the twilight, the only recognizable feature of the person speaking to Xiao Fan was a young man's voice.

"Whether it's part of the plot or not, let's get on the ship first. At least there are people on board."

Xiao Fan gripped the rope with one hand, while keeping the oil lamp in his other.

Three people pulled Xiao Fan up onto the deck.

"Hello, my name is Jiu Chen. I thank you three for saving my life." Xiao Fan bowed and thanked them while observing the three of them.

Two of the men were dressed casually and were likely crew members of the ship.

The remaining man had long blond hair, wore a blue cloak over a suit of armor.

His identity is clearly not simple.
