Star Dome Simulator: Start with Girlfriend Firefly.

[“Does the path to salvation really still exist?” Huang Quan asks you blankly like a fragile little girl.]

[Facing her hopeful gaze, you nodded after a long while and looked towards the black sun in the sky. The light in the clouds is not the sun, but a black hole. It is there, neither spectacular nor tragic, quietly swallowing everything and giving a cold, silent embrace.]

[Huang Quan follows your gaze and looks at the sleeping formless being surrounded by stardust, and a bitter feeling gradually appears on the corners of his mouth.]

[Obviously, Huang Quan misunderstood your meaning. The tragic reincarnation fate of Izumo and Takamagahara was not created by nothingness. He has no appearance or form, and no will. He covers everyone equally. If you want to end this tragedy, you can only find a way to go further under His shadow and bury the fate of eternal reincarnation at the cost of extinction.]

[As night fell, Huang Quan left with a long sword on her back. You didn't show any reaction, and didn't even notice her looking back before she disappeared.]

[Day after day, you look at the black sun with stars hanging around it, and you gain some insights. The joke that Ivna said before she destroyed herself may not be without reason.]

[Nothingness is like existence. It has always been there since the birth of the universe, but it has not been noticed by people. Void Star God IX is likely to be a 'Chaos Doctor' who has gone the farthest in nothingness. Before his appearance, people unconsciously walked towards nothingness and became self-destructors. After him, people consciously fought against nothingness and were called Chaos Doctors.]

[After an unknown amount of time, Huang Quan came back. You looked at the familiar figure in white clothes and purple hair, and a slight emotion fluctuated in your heart. You never thought that you were afraid of loneliness as well. After thinking about it, you did not seal this emotion into the long sword.]

......

Huang Quan squatted in front of the campfire, looking at Luo Ming, who was always silent and looked like a walking corpse, and took out a sweet and delicious peach from his arms: "Want to eat it?"

Without waiting for Luo Ming to answer, he cut the peach in half, picked up a small piece with his hand, put it near Luo Ming's mouth, and looked at him expectantly.

Luo Ming hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, opened his mouth and ate it.

Huang Quan also ate a piece of peach, and fiddled with the blazing bonfire as if he were facing a close friend, muttering to himself: "Izumo is about to win."

"Eight million gods are no longer a threat. The king is using all his manpower to build a long ladder to the sky, heading to Takamagahara in the sky to put an end to this war of evil god invasion."

"Do you think we will win?"

For some reason, whenever Huang Quan encountered something confusing, he always wanted to come to Luo Ming and ask him.

Perhaps it was the strength that Luo Ming easily displayed that day that caused her to develop an indescribable dependence in her heart.

Or perhaps it was because Luo Ming did not belong here, that he could look down and see the tragic fate of the two worlds intertwined and dancing with each other.

Or perhaps when Luo Ming accidentally looked at the dark sun, the firm belief that transcends life was revealed, which was exactly what Huang Quan strongly desired and was pursuing.

She hoped to hear the answer she wanted from Luo Ming, so as to gain the courage to do everything.

However, Luo Ming shook his head.

At this time, Huang Quan has not yet realized the existence of nothingness. Her life is full of meaning given by others: to protect Izumo.

Every time she kills a demon or god, Izumo will be safer. Hard work will pay off. If all enemies are eliminated, Izumo will be saved.

When she knows the truth of all this, she will understand that Izumo's sword forging is not salvation, but just a lie.

See Luo Ming’s answer.

Huang Quan fell silent. The blazing firelight illuminated her cheeks, but she could hardly see the light ahead.

......

The next morning.

Huang Quan woke up from his sleep, walked past Luo Ming, and went to a clear river not far away to take a bath.

Then he brought back a prey, cooked it quietly, and prepared today's breakfast.

After having enough wine and food.

Huang Quan packed up his luggage, came to Luo Ming, and invited him, "Come with me to Izumo. I know you may have foreseen the end of this planet, but I still want to show you that even if destruction is inevitable, the people of Izumo will never sit idly by and wait for death."

Practicing existence in nothingness.

Perhaps everything that Izumo is fighting against can help you understand existence.

You promised Huang Quan.

On the wasteland, two figures walked side by side, each holding a long sword in their hands. One of them was forged from eight million divine bones, and the other contained a lifetime's memory and all the insights into fighting against nothingness.

......

After walking out of the wilderness for an unknown amount of time, a neon-lit metropolis appeared at the end of our sight.

Huang Quan turned his head slightly and glanced at Luo Ming.

But I found that his eyes were still as calm as deep water, without a single ripple, and I became more and more curious about his past and experiences.

Through the wide streets.

Luo Ming followed Huang Quan to her home.

This place is far away from the bustling city center. It is a very tall building, but it seems to have been abandoned. Only the top floor is kept quite tidy. Standing on the balcony, you can see the entire city from a distance.

"The Twelve Sword Masters usually do not enter the city center to prevent the sword energy of the Divine Skeleton Sword from affecting ordinary people."

Huang Quan handed Luo Ming a can of drink.

Pointing to a vague staircase in the distance, he said, "That is the staircase that will lead to Takamagahara. It will be completed in about three months."

"The eight million gods remaining in Takamagahara attacked it more than once, but they were all blocked by the sword master guarding there."

Luo Ming looked at the pair of ghost horns on Huang Quan's head that were becoming increasingly sharp and blood-red, but in the end he didn't say anything.

......

[For the next period of time, you will come to this building from the wasteland, and occasionally follow Huang Quan to carry out the task of hunting down eight million gods.]

[You have also seen other sword masters because of this. Like Huang Quan, all of these people are stained with a strong aura of evil gods, and as the long ladder to heaven is built, it slowly reaches a critical point.]

[On this day, Huang Quan received another mission. A new evil god appeared eighty miles west of the Izumo Imperial Capital and was slaughtering people wantonly.]

[Huang Quan did not hesitate, took the World Protection Sword, and immediately headed for the mission location. This time, you also went forward. Under the escort of the people of Izumo, you left this rapidly rising neon imperial capital and gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon.]
