Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"At that time, I just happened to see it and was thinking... maybe it takes the light of many people, gathered in one person, to wake him up."

"The Night Demons prevent anyone from waking up by continuously stealing everyone's light."

"Jin Yi did it... Unfortunately, he was only able to wake up."

"Everyone watched as Jin Yi's figure under the light faded away bit by bit, and they were all so excited, believing that Jin Yi had truly left the Land of No Light."

"But later... Jin Yi quickly returned."

Zhou Baiyu was stunned.

Xinkui sighed:

"He woke up, but after waking up, he was still faced with the same night, and under the cover of darkness, he was quickly hypnotized again..."

"So, he entered the dream once more, returning to the Land of No Light. All his efforts turned to ash..."

"The nightmares of the Land of No Light finally realized that these people harbored so much light within their bodies, and they were both afraid and thrilled."

Zhou Baiyu noticed the key point—fear he could understand, but why were they excited?

"The nightmares need light?"

"Yes... It's said they need to continuously absorb the light of people to activate a treasure for the nightmares' masters, the gods, which can make reality into illusion, and truth into dreams..."

"These are things I gathered while I still had hope... but in truth they are not much use, knowing these changes nothing."

The God of Nightmare and Nihility!

Zhou Baiyu's eyes widened, surprised as he looked at Xinkui...

An incredible Mutator indeed! To be able to gather such information!

In that moment, Zhou Baiyu finally understood why Eternal Night held these people captive.

It was activating the Gods' Treasure! To complete the Divine Endowment through the Gods' Treasure!

To create a world solely of nothingness.

"Jin Yi returned to the dream, then was tormented into becoming a Night creature... In the end, Jin Yi became a part of the night, as a punishment from the Night Demons, becoming a permanent part of the darkness that eternally watched over those unable to escape."

"And all those who trusted Jin Yi, who mustered the courage to shine their light for him... all of them were brutally exploited."

"Some turned into Mutators, some are still alive but their dream bodies are as thin as ghosts..."

"Everyone broke down completely... utterly collapsed..."

"Jiang Bro, there will never be such an opportunity again, never will there be someone who can persuade everyone like Jin Yi did..."

"No one can awaken again, and those who do wake will fall back into slumber faced with the night!"

"Don't think about escaping from here, just hold on to your memories, for what you can recall will be your only treasure in this place!"

Zhou Baiyu was silent for a long time.

He could imagine, how that boy who firmly believed in the moon must have shone brilliantly in the moment he roused everyone's hope...

He could picture, in that moment of radiance, how much everyone had anticipated from him.

Yes... such things will never happen again.

No one will ever gain the trust of all like Jin Yi again.

And these people... can they still emit light?

After suffering the Night Demons' brutal oppression, do they still dare to emit light?

"Don't harbor pointless hope... our current situation is like being in an iron house without windows, nearly impossible to destroy. We are all people in deep slumber, we do not feel the sorrow of death, death to us may perhaps be a relief. But we... are afraid of being awakened!"

What a dark world.

In the Land of No Light, countless people forever lose the light of life, all for the sake of creating a god in the dark night?

Zhou Baiyu's emotions surged.

It takes collecting enough light, concentrated in one place, to wake up a person.

And after waking up, it is very possible to fall back into sleep immediately...

Because after waking up, what he faces is still the night.

He remembered, it was because he was transported into the midst of the night, then lulled to sleep by the laws of the darkness...

That's why he ended up here.

This was indeed an iron house without windows, almost impossible to destroy.

But was it truly impossible to destroy?

"What if I wake up... and immediately turn the watch, dispersing the night?"

Zhou Baiyu stepped out of the house. He looked up, staring into the thick of the night.

As if in a gaze with Jin Yi, who had become a part of the night.

A failure in rebelling against the Night Demons years ago, and someone who challenges the Night Demons again years later, seemed to connect in spirit at that moment.

Through the Night Vision, Xinkui saw the silhouette of Zhou Baiyu...

After hearing such a history of despair, this Jiang Xianwu... was faintly radiating light.

Indeed, the intense light almost concealed the necklace's smoke.

In this moment, as Zhou Baiyu gazed at the night sky, he made the same declaration as Jin Yi had years ago:

"I will definitely show you the moon!"
