Darkness, how should it be understood?
Having struggled to survive in the Ice Abyss for sixteen years, Xia Hong originally thought he had experienced these two words deeply enough.
Before breaking through to the Cold Resistance Level, he could only move at night, having almost never seen the daytime world. Due to the unfamiliar surroundings and the attacks of Cold Beasts and Deceitful Monsters, even at night, he could only hide with the people of Great Xia in enclosed spaces. Though there was illumination from fire, darkness still remained the main theme.
Darkness brings a dual-layered impact on both the physiological and psychological levels. People long living in darkness suffer physical destruction. Before the Ice Abyss people break through to the Cold Resistance Level, their average lifespan is only about 40 years, the result of such physical destruction.
