The Demon with Holy Radiance

When Yang An didn’t answer, the Golden Sun Daoist began to speak.

"Why were you waiting for me?"

Yang An asked in confusion. Judging from the Golden Sun Daoist’s attitude and reply, he seemed less and less like an imposter. On the contrary, he was logical and coherent.

’He knows I’ve fused with the same kind of Forbidden Artifact Fragment. He also knows the fragment is named Golden Sun and that it shares the same origin as the one he’s formed from.’

’But before now, since arriving here, I haven’t revealed the Power of Rules I command, nor have I even used any Light Magic.’

’This means he knows my secrets. There’s no way he could be an imposter.’

"Why wait for you? Kid, do you even know what kind of power you’ve obtained? Aren’t you the least bit curious why this already polluted world still possesses an uncorruptible Forbidden Power?"

"..."

Faced with the Golden Sun Daoist’s incredulous questions, Yang An was left speechless.

’To be honest, I have considered these questions. But when I have neither the ability nor the information to solve these mysteries, who would bother themselves thinking about it? It’s completely meaningless.’

’As someone from the modern era, I’ve had enough of anxiety and pointless introspection. Why would I do something so meaningless?’

If he couldn’t figure something out, he simply didn’t think about it. That had always been Yang An’s way.

So he couldn’t answer the Golden Sun Daoist’s questions. However, if the Daoist wanted to explain, Yang An wouldn’t stop him. At the same time, his own curiosity had been piqued.

"Why?"

"Because it is the hope of this world!"

The Golden Sun Daoist’s tone was heavy, sounding like a suppressed roar, or perhaps the venting of a long-held grievance.

"To save the world, I used all my power to evolve this world’s Spirit. I took the vast majority of that Spirit, cultivated it to its absolute limit, and formed the Three Spiritual Light. From one, I forged the Golden Sun from the sunlight that illuminates eternity. From another, I forged the Jade Mirror from the moonlight that wards off evil and dispels fear. And from the last, I forged Taibai from all the stars in the sky!

I hope that one day, after I am gone, the one who masters these powers can drive out this world’s filth and restore its clear skies and bright horizons!

And you! You are that person! You are the Savior!

That is why I was waiting for you."

"..."

His words plunged Yang An into deep thought. He was also in a state of intense shock, unable to process it for a long time.

’I originally thought the Forbidden Artifact, Golden Sun, was the source of all Power of Light Rules. I thought the only light in this world was Sunlight.’

’Who would have thought there weren’t one, but three!’

’Golden Sun! Jade Mirror! Taibai!’

’So the three of them correspond to the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars.’

At this, even though Yang An was still suspicious of the Golden Sun Daoist’s identity, his guard lowered considerably. For him to reveal all of this, even explaining the origin of the Three Spiritual Light in such detail, it was highly likely that he was telling the truth.

’How could someone fabricate something like this out of thin air and still be convincing?’

The only thing was, the Golden Sun Daoist had insisted that Yang An must accept the role of Savior, a title he was reluctant to acknowledge.p>’Save the world? Save my ass!’

’I’m so weak right now, and I’m busy trying to figure out how to escape this world. Where would I find the time to save it?’

’Besides, is this world even worth saving anymore?’

’Whoever wants to save it can go right ahead. I just want to get out of here.’

’Running away is one thing, but I still have to get the Forbidden Artifact. If I’m too weak, I won’t be able to escape. It’s like needing to eat to have the energy to go on a diet.’

’Trying to pin the responsibility for this world on me? Not a chance.’

’I might not even succeed at being the Savior, but if I take on that burden, I’ll definitely become a target.’

His greed subsided. Yang An now entered a state of perfect clarity, his mind purely rational.

It was impossible to tell if the Golden Sun Daoist had read his thoughts, but he continued on his own, saying:

"My time is short. I waited for you here only to tell you about the Three Spiritual Light and to entrust you with the task of saving this world. I hope you can find the other two spiritual lights as soon as possible and fulfill my final wish.

From now on, you are the only light in this world!"

Having said this, the Golden Sun Daoist fell silent. He reached a hand into his own chest, pulled out the soybean-sized Forbidden Artifact Fragment, and held it out to Yang An.

As the Forbidden Artifact Fragment was removed, the surrounding light began to dim, and the Golden Sun Daoist’s body started to turn translucent.

Faced with the Forbidden Artifact Fragment offered by the Golden Sun Daoist, Yang An didn’t hesitate to reach out and take it.

’Even if I don’t want to save the world, I have to get this Forbidden Artifact. Besides, the Golden Sun Daoist was just talking. I never agreed to save anything.’

The Forbidden Artifact Fragment fell into Yang An’s hand. The soybean-sized bead radiated a captivating golden light.

The moment he touched it, an information box popped up in his vision.

[Moon Shadow Fragment]: A Top Grade Forbidden Artifact Fragment, originating from the Forbidden Artifact [Moon Shadow]. It contains a portion of the Power of Rules, enabling the user to copy and disguise anything. As this item is incomplete, the duration and range of its abilities are limited. Forcibly fusing with this item at a realm below Zombie God will result in fatal backlash from the Power of Rules. Without fusion, a maximum of one-third of its power can be wielded.

Cost of Use: Each use of this item’s Power of Rules will drain a portion of the user’s lifespan, depending on the duration and range. Fusing with this item will inflict the pain of one’s soul constantly fracturing. The user will also voraciously absorb corrupting energy, risking assimilation. Furthermore, the user must bear any costs associated with the copied or disguised object. If the one who fuses with it possesses other Forbidden Artifacts, those artifacts will also be corrupted, assimilated, and forcibly stripped from the body.

Status: Currently cannot undergo Purification. Can only be purified by devouring its corresponding opposite Power of Rules!
