The multiverse is dark.

All civilizations with the technology of entering and exiting the void will invariably fall into a daze and bewilderment when they cross the world barrier for the first time and truly step into the outer heavens, because what they see is not a fantasy of a beautiful heaven, but a pitch-black hell.

- The eye extends until the end of the field of vision, and all that can be seen is silence and darkness, and the endless void of dead silence is turbulent with time and space, which contains absolute coldness, despair and loneliness, which is intimidating to any intelligent life.

How should those who have come to the void in blessing and anticipation tell their fellow citizens who are curious about what is in the 'beyond heaven'? On the outer side of the world, there is not another living world, there is no heaven, there is no luscious wine of the gods and magnificent palaces, there is only the slightest life, even the most dangerous dead nothingness, where even the stars are obscured and everything is bleak.

If in the distant future, your own race occupies all the space on earth, where is the road? What does the future hold? Perhaps, we can only step into this darkness, enjoy the taste of curiosity, fear and loneliness, and explore this path hidden in the shadows and dangers, even if it is full of unpredictable horrors.

But there is something more powerless, frightening, and helpless than the dark and unknown, but it can only be immersed in it.

That's a little light in the darkness.

In the distant and unknowable past, there was a tormented race, born from the fire of the forest, multiplied on the vast plains, gave birth to wisdom, gave birth to civilization, formed nations, and everything progressed gradually, until a violent earthquake swept the whole world.

It was a catastrophe that had long been lurking in the depths of the earth's crust, a hidden danger that had been doomed since the dawn of the world, scarred by increasingly dynamic geological movements, torn apart by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and scorching cities and their inhabitants with clouds of lava and metal, which had only just entered the Middle Ages, could do nothing but pray to the heavens in despair that the end would cease sooner, or that the end would come sooner rather than later, so that they could be freed from the endless scorching heat.

But beyond the void, another powerful civilization has descended from the sky, a civilization of extraordinary power, who calms the earth's crust and reshapes the ecology, who goes deep into the center of the earth to quell the movement of tectonic plates, and who help the suffering races return to their homeland without asking for any price.

The suffering race worships this civilization, and they are willing to sacrifice everything for this civilization as servants, but this race is told by that civilization that they do not need anything in return and do not need any gratitude, they just need them to survive and progress slowly until they finally become a civilization that can cross the void themselves - this is the greatest help to them.

"As long as you can be a little light in this multiverse, then all our hard work will be meaningful."

The self-proclaimed pioneers are civilizations that have left their home world and wandered in the multiverse, and their purpose is to help one race and civilization after another that is still in its infancy to cross the void and become what they call 'light'...... Unable to comprehend such a noble purpose, the Afflicted Race asked incredulously why such a powerful civilization as the Pioneers had to leave their home world.

They were answered by silence and a wry smile of helplessness.

"That is not the destruction that you can understand now. But one day, you too will face the darkness...... By that time, you may be able to understand our purpose. ”

The Afflicted Race was incomprehensible, but when they first piloted a spaceship hundreds of years later, breaking through the barriers of the world into the Void and witnessing the darkness of the multiverse, they felt they understood and understood the purpose of the pioneers.

- Because the multiverse is too dark and vast, and the light of a single civilization is too small, they need companions, more companions, more light to illuminate this dark multiverse!

Therefore, the former suffering race resolutely embarked on this path, they named their civilization 'Shelter of the Weak', just like the pioneer civilization of the past, to help the surrounding species and civilizations to develop as much as possible, and let them join their own ranks, they vowed to be like the pioneers of the past, to help all the civilizations in this multiverse grow, they plan to form a huge federation, gather all the faint light together, like the sun to shine on the world.

They vowed to break through all darkness and the unknown.

But they failed.

At the end of the day, infinite darkness spreads from the center of the multiverse, which is the shadow of the 'evil god', 'end', 'destruction' and 'doomsday' that is feared by many civilizations - until the moment when the evil god is really encountered, the former suffering race, and the current sanctuary civilization understand what the 'darkness' in the mouth of the pioneer civilization of the distant past is, and why they wander, why they are so overwhelmed, they can only move forward in confusion, and there is a help to any race encountered.

Because they feel despair from the bottom of their hearts, and think that this darkness is irresistible, they can only light a little flame to comfort the heart that is confused and confused.

And that's exactly what happened.

When the world finally came, the world was overturned, the burning wheat fields burned with the hopes of the peasants, the magnificent floating giant city fell among the boiling clouds, the glorious temple of holiness was pulled by the shadows of filth, and finally swallowed into subspace, and at the center of the world, tens of thousands of powerful spellcasters joined forces to try to teleport the people away before the end came, but their burning blood quickly cooled in front of the evil god who tore through the shell of the world and revealed his unspeakable true body.

They retreated, defeated, leaving one world after another, while the evil gods feasted on the wreckage of civilization, watching more and more cities turn to dust, more and more races turned to ashes, and as their hearts melted into nothing, more and more disappointment and frustration eroded their hearts, and in the end, the storm of time and space that shattered the world leveled the entire space-time realm, causing the stars to extinguish and sink into the realm of darkness.

Another civilization that was struck down and collapsed by darkness, abandoned like a burning torch. The Sanctuary civilization disappeared into the multiverse, and although they briefly radiated light, they could only leave in disgrace.

So, the multiverse is actually dark, it's not completely dark, but a little bit of brilliance.

It gives birth to the world, gives birth to civilization, gives hope to all beings, turns them into fire to illuminate the void, but ends it with evil gods. In the eternal darkness, there is an endless light that dances, and one after another the flame of civilization is lit, so that the light of the stars appears in the world - but the existence of this light is not to show beauty, but to let civilization use its own light to illuminate the true face of those hidden under the darkness, called despair and end.

One civilization after another struggles to resist the arrival of chaos and nothingness, they burn their own light to illuminate the way forward, but they will never reach the end of victory, under the erosion of endless chaos, they will only become weaker and weaker, more and more tired, no matter how hard they support, they will eventually fall to the ground.

Compared to the light in the darkness, the darkness is merciful, or at least it hides the face of the end, so that all things end in a painless silence.

The eternal dim light reveals to civilization a terrifying vision full of nothingness: there is no hope, there is no future, everything is meaningless gray, and no matter how bright the flame is, it will eventually turn to ashes and fall into eternal sleep, or awaken in the midst of desperate resentment and become a member of the darkness.

Five thousand nine hundred and twenty-two years after the redemption calendar, more than 5,900 years after the ancient pioneer civilization descended on the sanctuary world, in the endless void, a 'dark' fog enveloping the world woke up from a long information self-examination.

The black fog swirls like the tide of the sea, and it scrupulously and meticulously examines its own internal database, checking all the information about its creators, including all their history, technology, culture, art, and beliefs. Black Mist self-checks again and again to ensure that this information is not staggered or lost.

Because this information is the last remnant of the creator, and protecting this information is also the only remaining task in its core instructions.

And after a long time passed, after ensuring the integrity of the information in the database, it could be seen that the black mist suddenly began to surge, it was like a flame swaying in the void with the turbulence of time and space, and even dark purple lightning could be seen flashing in the mist, the black mist condensed its power, giving birth to the offspring, and it was going to prepare to complete its other unfinished and most important task.

The Black Mist remembers the painful faces of many creators who were dying thousands of years ago, and it remembers the 'Last Mission' that they repeated over and over again.

It is to gather strength to ward off the destruction that engulfs the multiverse.

In accordance with the Creator's wishes, it will do its best.

Even if you become the darkness that extinguishes the light, you don't hesitate.
