"When the night descends upon us,"

"When calamity shrouds you and me,"

"Oh, despairing souls, do not weep,"

"Take up your swords, load your bullets."

"When blood dyes the ruins red, when the gravestones of civilization bear our names,"

"Children of heroes, take up your swords."

"Nothing but an abyss lies behind us."

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

"With our lives, let us scorch away the night!"

...

The grand, sorrowful music, combined with Qi Ke’s uniquely prolonged and gentle voice, seemed to immerse all present into that desperate and dark era of calamity.

The splendor of civilization had collapsed, and chaos and madness enveloped the world.

The survivors of the previous epoch took up their swords and carved a bloody path through the wilderness filled with exotic beasts and distortions, rekindling the flame of civilization.

Their remains covered the ground, and the songs of their souls wandered beneath the firmament.

Latecomers built high walls on the bones of their forebears and erected cities.

It was through such a relentless march towards death that humankind preserved the ember of civilization in that maddest and darkest of times, and were able to construct fortress cities, providing their progeny with the opportunity for secure development, to enjoy prosperity and peace.

This song, rather than being a national anthem, could be considered humanity’s last trumpet call.

The glorious were not any individual hero, but all those who lie eternal in the wilderness for the enduring flame of civilization.

Or rather, they were all heroes.

To the Glorious People.

He Ao returned to his spot, folding up his broom and dustpan before placing them back into the metal box.

Then he stood on the box, surveying the entire venue.

From this height, and given his current position, he could monitor the actions of everyone in the theater.

The solemn song gradually ceased, and the whole theater sank into a brief silence, everyone immersed in the lingering aftereffects of the melody.

After a few seconds of quiet, thunderous applause and cheers broke out.

"Qi Ke! Qi Ke!"

"Qi Ke! I love you!"

...

"Thank you, thank you, everyone."

The blonde girl on stage also seemed surprised by the passionate response to the song, "This song was found in an ancient book, and here I want to thank..."

He Ao did not listen to the subsequent words of gratitude. His gaze shifted away, carefully searching the theater for any columns that had not yet been repositioned by him.

Then, under cover of the noise of the crowd, he gently lifted the box, slightly moving all the yellow columns.

The thanks and pleasantries on stage were also coming to an end, and Qi Ke, holding the microphone,

"I am very grateful to the audience here and those watching the live broadcast. It’s an honor for you to be sitting here or in front of your screens for the final concert of my tour. Next is the last act of the concert, brought to you by the ’Starlight’ idol dance troupe, a dance called ’Under the Gaze of the Divine Being,’ which is very sexy."

Loud cheers came from the audience.

"Then I’ll go backstage for a while, leaving space for these sexy little sisters."

Qi Ke smiled and waved, heading backstage.

One by one, beautiful girls in white miniskirts and pure white knee-high socks quickly emerged from backstage, taking their positions on the stage.

He Ao did not pay attention to these scantily clad young women; instead, he started looking for the passage that led backstage.

Soon, he found a secluded side door.

He stepped down from the box and quickly walked toward that side door when suddenly, he noticed a figure in a pure white suit ahead.

Christos?

Christos, who hadn’t noticed He Ao, glanced at his bracelet and then headed straight for the side door.

He Ao’s eyebrows raised as he sidestepped through the crowd, hastening his pace.

——

[I’m backstage, Miss Qi Ke said she wants to meet Mr. Kristos, do you have time to come over for a chat?]

Christos saw the message on his bracelet and put it down, rubbing his brow slightly before slowly walking towards the stage’s side door, which led backstage.

Guarding the door was a skinny staff member who saw Christos and slowly pushed the door open.

Christos smiled his thanks and then crossed the threshold.

As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong fragrance of powder and perfume mixed in the vast backstage space, along with tops, shorts, white stockings, and black stockings, scattered on the floor or hung on the rails. Walking by, he encountered gusts of floral scents.

The scene inevitably incited a flutter of desires.

Christos shook his head, flinging these odd emotions from his mind.

Backstage must have been crowded just moments ago, but now only a few busy staff members remained.

A lively blonde girl sat on a chair, carefully massaging her ankle. Her delicate feet were fully exposed, with the beautiful contours of her arches relaxed, and her rosy toes showed a slight press-induced redness. Her glittering crystal high heels were carelessly tossed aside.

"Ah?!" The girl, focused on rubbing her foot, suddenly spotted Kristos walking in. She hurriedly slipped her high heels on and stood up, stammering, her cute face blushing, "Is it Mr. Kristos, that..."

"It’s okay."

Kristos smiled and looked away from Qi Ke, old enough to be her father. Some people atop Dawn might have such tastes, but he didn’t, "By the way..."

Before he could finish, he noticed a sultry woman quietly approaching Qi Ke from behind with a silver dagger and suddenly stabbing at her.

"Watch out!"

He rushed forward, grabbed Qi Ke’s wrist, and pulled her behind him, then grabbed the sultry woman’s wrist holding the knife and threw her away with a strong twist of his arm.

He looked coldly at the sultry woman, "Who are you? Who sent you?"

At that moment, a sharp pain shot through his lower back.

He turned violently, trying to capture the person behind him.

However, the girl behind effortlessly slipped from his grip, flipping backward and landing several meters away, holding a silver syringe in her hand.

Kristos struggled to turn around, feeling as if his body were filled with concrete, and he stumbled and fell into a corner of the wall, "Who are you? What did you inject me with?"

"Blood of the Venus, it will put the Talent Sequences in your body into a dormant state."

The blonde girl casually discarded the syringe and stepped towards Kristos. Her beautiful blonde hair gradually turned brown, shining with a golden glow, and her facial features subtly changed.

In an extremely short time, she transformed from a cute and charming girl into a seductively alluring woman.

She tugged at the belt around her waist, and her cute skirt instantly tightened, emphasizing a voluptuous figure.

The sultry woman who had been thrown away earlier got up, handed over the dagger, and briskly changed into a performance outfit to head to the front of the stage.

Only then did Kristos notice that the other staff members had disappeared, leaving only him and the seductive woman in the room.

"So, this is a trap to kill me?"

Kristos struggled to lift himself up, smiling at the person before him, "Did you kidnap Qi Ke?"

"Yes," the seductive woman squatted in front of Kristos, her short skirt taut against her full thighs creating a shallow indentation. She twirled the silver dagger in her hand, its cold blade aiming for Kristos’s throat,

"But you’re wrong about one thing," she smiled seductively, "I am Qi Ke."

Kang—

A black light streaked through the void, colliding with the silver blade.
