The One Who Erodes the Light

Advanced civilizations thousands of years ago created "light cores" - those who resonate with the light core can gain extraordinary powers, but at the cost of gradually losing their memory and emotions, and eventually turning into inhuman things. Shen Yelan was abandoned in the Light Ruins in the Northern Wilderness Snow Mountain since he was a child. The silver light pattern he was born with on his left shoulder is his only identity mark. Before his death, his master asked him to find a man named Su Huaijin, but Su Huaijin had been dead for twenty years. He went down the mountain to find the truth, and was rescued in a dark alley in Cangcheng by Su Wanning, a woman running away disguised as a man. She recognized that the characteristics of his light pattern matched the notes left by her father - he was the only survivor of the human experiment with light nuclei. The two work together to investigate, each with their own agenda: he wants his life experience, and she wants her father's death. As the investigation deepens, the light pattern backfires more and more, and he loses a memory every time he uses his power. And the cruelest truth finally emerged: Su Huaijin died precisely because he saved him. The deeper secret was that the original reason for this experiment was that Su Huaijin wanted to use light nuclei to save his critically ill wife. His birth stemmed from a father's selfishness, and her father's loss stemmed from the same father's redemption. When Shen Yelan corroded to the point where half of his body was turned into silver, Su Wanning chose to use his own memory as an anchor to stabilize his collapsed personality. He forcibly interrupted before she lost more, poured the corrosive power into the light core, and dissipated into pure light. The last words are - "You have to remember that there is someone who loves you very much." The deepest erosion in this world is not the loss of strength, but the loss of memory; the strongest resistance is not immortality, but still remembering someone before forgetting everything. The eclipsing light eats away everything, leaving only one thought that remains.
