Roy tapped his fingers on the throne, "Tap... tap..." emitting a light sound...
Then a thought was given to Taiyi,
The young priest flicked his robe sleeves, riding the dream cloud, drifting down onto the cloud platform, lifting Vanessa and Old Keller, saying: "Praise the sun..."
"You have cared..."
"Divine Envoy, am I too weak?" Taiyi's words of gentle refusal were sensed by the always perceptive Vanessa... The beautiful snake woman lowered her head in shame, silently sighing in her heart... Indeed, to the Divine, she was just a small Snake-man from Valentia, Land of the Hot Water... To truly help the envoy or even the Divine... perhaps only the great sirens could catch "my lord's" eye...
"Woof... Keller is ashamed..." Old Keller drooped his ears, simply apologized... Knowing his own limits, if not for Roy granting him Water Breathing, helping to dispel hidden injuries, recover his strength, those few little pups at home might not have had even a sip of milk...
"Buzz..." From atop their heads, the Sense quietly emitted and swiftly changed color, from excited red, transforming into despondent black...
Roy observed everything through the mist, under the firmament, atop the cloud, bearing the great sun wheel, pointed a finger at them...
The Sun in the Heart activated!
Instantly transformed into two strands of gentle sunlight, entered Vanessa and Old Keller's hearts, shattering the hint of darkness that had just arisen, destroying it completely!
"Do not be discouraged... Strive forward, quietly await the call..."
A faint command followed the sunlight into Vanessa and Old Keller's minds...
Their bodies visibly shuddered, emotions surged, like tidal waves... The Sense emitted naturally from their heads, rapidly fluctuating... as if a barometer had been overturned...
'What's that?'
'Light?'
'Did a turn of sunlight just eradicate all my negative emotions within?'
'Then why do I need Qin Pills... Why must I apply for potions from the guild?'
No one present was an outsider, especially Vanessa. Her business, or the entire Valentia, depended on—helping clients shift the backlash!
Thus, realizing a slight feeling of despondency from deep within had just been illuminated by a strand of sunlight from Roy—Vanessa was stunned on the spot, repeatedly confirming several times, finally verify—
'My lord, the great sun god... Compared to the great sirens, possesses and commands greater authority in dispelling backlash!'
After much thought, Vanessa finally reacted, exchanged a glance with Old Keller, similarly seeing shock and excitement in his eyes, clearly... had also understood what had just occurred!
"Praise the sun," both inhaled deeply, respectfully affirmed, if not for Taiyi beside them, might have prostrated on the ground, reverently kowtowing...
[Prompt: Your "followers" Vanessa S. / Keller S. are astounded by your ability to clear backlash, due to excitement, "Loyalty" +50... "Power Of Faith" +10...]
[Note: Vanessa S. / Keller S., current "Loyalty": Overflowing loyalty, infinitely close to your steward... Wutong...]
Roy's lips curved into a subtle arc, with a slight motion of his fingers... sunlight pierced the mist, swiftly transformed into two strands of Nen, absorbed into his body...
Vanessa and Old Keller slightly lowered their gaze, feeling the warmth depart, dared not breathe... until Taiyi gently patted their shoulders, warmly said: "Weakness is not original sin; growing stronger is key, trust my lord, you will find your worth one day..."
Vanessa and Old Keller earnestly nodded, together said: "I will."
With one last glance, they straightened, looked admirably at Roy on the throne, secretly stealing a glance, followed him in a swirling motion, exiting the dream, returning to reality...
"Go..."
"Pursue the brightness in your heart..."
Misty clouds wrapped around two consciousnesses, leaping from the sea of collective unconscious, one heading north, one west...
As Vanessa and Old Keller woke themselves in the middle of the night, they suddenly opened their eyes, felt their hearts, experiencing the residual warmth and excitement... silently, their lips curved into a subtle arc...
Alas, it was deep night, the bright moon hung high, the sun unseen, but as my lord said... brightness will always exist, the sun will inevitably pierce the darkness and filth, rise over the horizon, ascending, illuminating the land!
"Praise the sun..." Behind the smile, after a moment, Vanessa hugged her sister,
"Praise the sun..." In a wooden hut in Yellow Village, Old Keller rose to tuck in his puppy's blanket...
In this deep night, across the vast, anything-can-happen Dark Continent, silently... planted two seeds called "brightness"... and the sower,
With radiant silver hair, ends flowing with a glaze of gold, the young man briefly stayed in his Unconscious Domain, gestured, changed the sky, withdrew the shrine, gently landed at the entrance of the colorful dream pathway with Taiyi...
