Chapter 495 The Descent of Eternal Night
Before the light disappeared, there was a cacophony of whispers.
As Yunzhi's words fell, the colossal Dawn Machine, visible from anywhere in Ohma, the "Light" that had protected the Holy City for millennia...
At a speed visible to the naked eye, it receded from the core at the highest point, as if the source had been cut off by an invisible hand. The dazzling golden light turned into an ominous blackish-red, and the holy city, which was originally shrouded in the hope of dawn, fell into the abyss of dusk in everyone's eyes.
There was no loud noise, no explosion; at this moment, there was only a very faint silence, yet enough to make everyone's heart stop.
The dawn machine that Godfather Cephale carried for countless years, the source of light that gave the people of Ohmma a thousand years of light—today, it is officially extinguished.
No one was able to react immediately.
Because the light really went out.
People looked up, but could no longer see that inextinguishable light.
[Eternal night is coming, but the machine of dawn will illuminate the holy city, awaiting the golden-blooded son to forge a miracle—forever!]
The words of the priest named Atticus still echoed in their ears, and the citizens of the holy city, bathed in the selflessness of Cephalus, thought that the daylight would never fade.
But this scene has forced them to face reality.
In the year 2147 of the Light Calendar, the era of Light came to an end, and the Holy City faced the calamity of the Black Tide.
------------------
The golden threads wrapped around the holy city suddenly tightened, and Aglaia's usually calm expression finally crumbled.
"How...how could this be..."
Bai E looked up at the twilight colors spreading across the sky, muttering to himself in disbelief:
"Didn't they say that the walls of the holy city would never fall, and that the protection of Kephail would last forever?"
Xing had already quietly moved closer to Yunzhi.
"Zhi, what's going on?"
She asked.
Yun shrugged: "It's the same logic as Misha and Galakh—although the fate simulated by [Flying Coins] should be [Pleasure], she does have that ability."
Using a lie that everyone believes, the light of Kefaller is maintained.
Therefore, it is true that the Dawn Machine was held up by Kefaller more than 700 years ago.
The next seven hundred years were a different story.
Xing understood, and she looked at the Dawn Machine, which had already been turned off.
Xingzai's conscience is a little uneasy.
But it didn't matter; she quickly and consciously abandoned her conscience first.
Although I get along well with Bai E and Xia Die, as the saying goes, a wise person knows when to yield.
Although she wasn't a genius, she was pragmatic.
"But didn't Teacher Xia say at that moment that she could make the Dawn Machine light up?"
Xing remembered what Xia had said earlier and turned to look at Xia.
Yun Zhi shrugged: "That's why I made him do it for me."
He didn't lower his voice, so Xia naturally heard it too.
The scholar snorted, raised his voice, and shouted at Aglaia:
"Aglaia, I know you can still hold on for now. The Black Tide Creatures can't break in for the time being. Now, let Bai'e take me to the body of Cephale."
The golden thread in Aglaia's hand trembled as she busied herself making the entire holy city even more secure.
Upon hearing Na Kexia's voice, she nodded to Bai E, signaling him to listen to Na Kexia and leave the place first.
Bai'e carried out the order, ignoring the surrounding noise, and rushed to Na Kexia's side, leading him to run under Kefale's body.
Yunzhi crossed his arms and watched this scene with cold eyes.
The Black Tower lady's gloating voice came through the headphones:
"Oh dear, I didn't expect that even after all this, you wouldn't just make a move?"
The Black Tower lady clapped her hands, feeling as if she were witnessing an exciting plot development:
"That scholar is excellent, and his idea is quite normal—yes, most people would do the same."
When you discover that your homeland is being coveted by outsiders who are trying to pave their way to becoming king by exploiting the despair of the people, you must find a way to strike at the root of the problem.
At that moment, Xia discovered that Yun wanted to use the Dawn Machine to carry out a large-scale operation. He then needed to find a way to make the Dawn Machine light up again so that the Onpharos people could see it and not despair, because they could handle such emergencies on their own.
As for the rest...
So, it really comes down to Yunzhi's own sense of morality?
"So, First Envoy, what is your sense of morality like?"
Ms. Black Tower was looking forward to how the story would unfold.
Yun Zhi, the person involved, sighed:
"Of course I have a strong sense of morality; don't the kids in the league always praise me?"
What did the people of the Immortal Boat Alliance say about him? They all said he was kind-hearted, of noble character, upright, selfless, incorruptible, and honorable...
His sense of morality is undoubtedly exceptional.
...But this can be blocked.
"But I'm really curious about what Xia is planning to do. The Dawn Machine is ultimately made of data. Could it be that Xia hacked the Dawn Machine by going into the kernel layer?"
Did one piece of data in the computer swallow and modify another piece of data?
It's evolved into a virus, hasn't it?
