Fall comes and the world is split into two.
The devouring phase devours, and the condensing phase is stable. The dark part keeps vigil, and the bright part chases the light. There is an insurmountable gap between the camps - and an iron law: if the Condensation Phase is close to the Devouring Phase, it is equal to death.
Xie Mingzhu spent five years climbing from the weakest D-level condensed phase to S-level just to stand next to that person.
Shen Yelan is an SS-level devouring phase in the dark area, with an erosion rate of 67% and life points decreasing. When the dark lines covered the cheeks, they looked like a knife wrapped in flames - shockingly beautiful, but also shockingly dangerous.
After five years of looking up to her, and once on the same stage, he said "I like you" first.
Then he said, "I can't let you near me."
Because proximity is the price. Every time he pressed down, the light in Xie Mingzhu's palm dimmed. Every time he was caught and ran away, Xie Mingzhu's life became faster.
But the camp opposition is a lie. Once the Devouring Phase and the Condensing Phase join forces, they are powerful enough to change the rules - this is what those in power fear most.
So they are separated, consumed, and told "this is fate."
But Xie Mingzhu said: "I don't guarantee it. But I choose."
Shen Yelan said: "I rejected everyone. That position is reserved for you."
Erosion degree 31%. Life no longer decreases. Resonance is 100%.
No need for "forever". No need to "certainly".
Just need "now".
Enough.
