Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 29) Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 29) Lei Ting didn’t think twice and unleashed a thunder-series ability, only to find that the violent lightning, upon touching that halo, was absorbed by an invisible black hole, failing to stir up even a ripple.
By the time the base’s people rushed over, they saw Lei Ting frantically attacking a golden circle of light by himself, within which sat a figure already enshrouded in a golden glow, their features utterly indiscernible.
Such a special ability belonged to only one person.
The protracted curse incantation finally came to an end.
Gu Shengyin also emerged from the strange realm she had been in just moments before.
When she opened her eyes, those looking at her realized in surprise that her eyes had turned a pure gold.
If it were a member of The Holy See from the previous world, they would have recognized this as a trait of the God of Light.
“Lei Ting,” Gu Shengyin said, looking at her lover with what seemed to be a faint smile, her expression neither sad nor joyful. Against the backdrop of the vast holy light, she appeared as a deity untouched by the mortal world.
It was precisely this that made Lei Ting grow more panicked.
Gu Shengyin’s next words made him widen his eyes, “I asked you before, and you gave me your answer. You hoped to see the light return to the earth, and so did I.”
Lei Ting’s mind flashed back to a previous conversation he’d had with Gu Shengyin, who had insisted, “If you had the chance to restore the world to its state before the apocalypse, but the price was your own life, how would you choose?”
His body felt as though it had been drained of all strength, and he collapsed to the ground.
What had he answered again? He said he was willing; he even said she would understand him.
So was this retribution? He suddenly covered his face and let out a low laugh.
Gu Shengyin’s last words to Lei Ting were, “I hope to see you alive and well, to witness a world reborn with sunshine and flowers for me.”
She looked up at the overcast sky, and as her gaze lingered, it was as if an invisible pair of hands savagely tore the dark pall that had covered the sky.
A beam of golden sunshine broke through the barriers and descended upon the earth.
Everyone was stunned by this sight; no one had ever imagined that a single person could achieve such a feat.
But it wasn’t over yet.
Rain suddenly began to fall from the sky, each droplet a tiny golden speck.
Wherever the golden specks touched, all things revived.
The land, which had become barren without sunlight, sprouted green shoots and bloomed with flowers at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The rivers ran clear again;
The air became fresh once more;
The wandering zombies wailed piteously under the assault of the golden specks and reluctantly turned to ash.
It began with one person, and then, one by one, those around watching Gu Shengyin knelt down.
From Lei Ting’s conversation with her, they could easily surmise the price Gu Shengyin would pay for achieving such a miracle.
Gu Shengyin felt the strength draining from her body bit by bit and knew that soon, she would depart from this world.
There was still one thing left undone.
She turned her head to look at the coffin beside her.
She gathered the last of her strength into her palm and gently pressed it against the coffin, a sigh escaping her lips.
“Since you’ve been gone for so many years, let go of your attachment to the mortal realm.”
The entire coffin dissolved in the golden light, leaving not a trace behind.
Lei Ting, who had been sitting dazed on the ground, suddenly seemed to snap out of it and screamed frantically at Gu Shengyin, “I regret it… I regret it!”
