Candles

The Waterblue Star Annihilation, and various forces intertwined in the void, with countless great beings making their moves.

For example, the rocks and dust left behind by the collapse of Gheros were immediately collected by Doros with a gray light, which must have been the result of a transaction in the Land of Calamity, where Doros and Gheros reached some kind of agreement.

At the same time, various forces were also involved, creating a large amount of information garbage and planting various contingency plans. At the moment of the Annihilation Waterblue Star, even Lu Li could not tell how many people were involved or what contingency plans they had planted.

However, Lu Li himself did not stop. Instead, he looked at Nyogtha in front of him, and the phantom images of various Avatar gradually appeared behind him. As a player, Lu Li had a total of five skills.

The most basic skill is the power to control everything; the second skill Game Control Mark; the third skill is the game save; the fourth skill is the Brilliant Game Paradise; and the fifth skill, which is Lu Li's ultimate move as a gamer, is the BUG summoning, which summons other Avatar.

This kind of summoning can be further divided into summoning power, summoning a clone, summoning a part, or even summoning the original body.

This time, Lu Li used his ultimate move, summoning Gresta from afar, even from the void. The enormous, dark star stared at the inhabitant of darkness, Nyogtha. Gresta, who controlled most of the dark side, completely crushed him in terms of status.

"Gresta, do you want to subdue me as your god?" Nyogtha showed no fear. Death was not a concept for them, or rather, death was merely a state of being, just like sleep for humans.

Given the right opportunity, these great beings entangled with the rules of the multiverse can be resurrected from those rules, even if Gresta is, strictly speaking, His superior, whose status completely suppresses Him.

"No..." Gresta seemed to murmur, as the power of the dark side erupted at full force, creating a dark world in the void left by this Waterblue Star, blocking and repelling the spying of other great beings around it.

Nyogtha had fallen into the dark side, was not panicked. After all, his title was Dweller of Darkness, and his understanding of the dark side was no less than that of Gresta. He then discovered the slight disharmony within himself.

"I've added something to the Project: The Light of Civilization." Lu Li's figure gradually blurred. This gamer Avatar of his is now Breaker, at the peak of humanity, but he still cannot participate in battles at the Great level.

The information from Nyogtha shifted, revealing Li Chengfeng's face, various cultivators, and images of other dimensional pivots. Through the Light of Civilization and the final ritual in which Li Chengfeng participated, Lu Li infused some of Gresta's power into Nyogtha's body.

"The Man of Light and Shadow has chosen you, so let me see if you are qualified to sit in this position..." Nyogtha remained calm, his dark body continuously expanding as he surged towards Lu Li.

"Heh..." Gresta waved his Starry Arm and let out a cryptic laugh.

"How's the observation going?"

Something seemed to be exploring the void; it was a ethereal humanoid figure. Through special technology, humans could be transformed into a peculiar state, not only able to survive in the void but also possessing powerful observational abilities. On the other side of the Annihilation Waterblue Star, a faint red light shone from the dead core of Waterblue Star's center.

"According to observations, the opponent will be able to revive from the dead core in 13 days. Adding the journey time of 16-17 days, the final day will be in a month." The Void Figure stared intently at the dead core, stopping its probing every so often to ensure that its sanity barrier would not be breached.

"Continue observing and calculate the exact time!"

"Got it! Wait, what's that?"

"Observer, what's going on?"

"Something emerged from that person's dark realm—three unlit white candles. A strange power emanated from them, and then they vanished..."

"Observer, determine where that thing went?" Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he still asked.

"Master..." The observer's words suddenly stopped. His barrier of reason shattered instantly. A large amount of information flooded into his mind, breaching his cognition and altering his form of existence. Then came a deafening scream.

The screams from the radio continued, but the people at the long table were all elites from the Countermeasure Bureau. Although their faces were not good, they did not show any other unusual emotions.

"When the three candles are lit, our Lord will descend in full force, bringing glory to the world from the shadows!!!"

Only after the last sentence was spoken did a hand turn off the radio. The person sitting in the main seat, whose expression was not too good, said, "Those three candles confirm that they have arrived in the main world. The observers we three parties deployed there received largely the same information, and after transmitting the information back, all seventeen observers from the three parties lost contact."

"Information from the intelligence department indicates that the last sentence was imbued with immense magical power and a spell, the power of which is unimaginably vast," the person in the main seat said solemnly. "If the three candles were indeed lit in a ritualistic manner, then given the specific timing, we cannot guarantee that the main world will be able to exclude it."

"And what about the three candles?" someone asked.

"According to measurements, they will be summoned to the main world tonight." The person in the main seat said seriously, "So this matter is to intercept the three candles that are entering the main world. The candles are predicted to land in our Great Yue, but we cannot rule out the possibility that this is a trap."

"I know things have been very busy lately, but this is the final moment, for the sake of humanity!" the person in the main seat said solemnly. Because the final day was approaching, problems had been arising in various places, and the people in the Countermeasure Bureau were extremely busy.

"For humanity!!!"

Lin Fan walked along the dimly lit street, the streetlights beside him seeming weak and listless. He loosened his tie and sighed.

Not far away on the street, some young men and women were riding bicycles, their laughter ringing out.

Lin Fan picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already 11 p. m., and these students still had the energy to play around. He couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is truly wonderful!"

Lin Fan was an ordinary person from childhood. From elementary school to university, he rarely did anything outrageous because he knew he had no right to do anything outrageous. Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but think of a classmate from high school. He still vividly remembered how the classmate tore up his exam paper on the spot. He heard that the classmate got into some foreign university in Michigan, but he didn't know what happened to him after that.

Looking up at the starless night sky, polluted by industrial pollution, Lin Fan saw what appeared to be a shooting star. Having long passed his childish years, he naturally didn't have any thoughts of making a wish. He was thinking about how to pay next month's rent, unaware that the shooting star had suddenly flashed across the sky.
