There was something chilling in Arlan's words.
Chu Mu remained unhurried and asked:
"What happened?"
"To explain that, I have to start with a drought that's still going on today." Arlan sighed and began his account.
It had not rained on Deep Blue Star for two years. With such abundant water resources, rainy days should never have been rare.
Yet an unprecedented drought had struck. Water vapor kept condensing in the sky, forming an enormous mass of dark clouds.
By now, those clouds had completely covered the southern hemisphere, yet not a single drop of rain had fallen.
It was said that being beneath those clouds was like being trapped in the night. People simply could not survive there for long.

Although its people lived in poverty, under Governor Luwan's rule, there had never been any major trouble.
Then, a year ago, a cult that worshipped the Black Sun suddenly began spreading through the city.
No one knew who the first missionary was or where they had come from, but every believer claimed to have received a revelation from the Black Sun!
The Black Sun was the dimmer of the two suns. The other was called the Red Sun.

To the Black Sun Cult, this was proof that the Black Sun would eventually devour the Red Sun!
And then there were the impenetrable clouds covering the southern hemisphere, which were still expanding-

Darkness was the realm of the Black Sun!
