Terraria: Cruel World Legends

"She said she didn't want to die." Xi Yao turned his head and looked at the prism, "Then I will fulfill her wish and let her body never dissipate in the [Absolute Stillness] of the Void Storage Space, and last forever."

"Absolute...stillness?" Prism was slightly stunned.

Xi Yao nodded: "Almost, I guess so... But in fact this statement is not rigorous, after all, light is still propagating in it, but everything except light is absolutely still."

As he spoke, Xi Yao placed the spoils into the void storage space, then closed it and said, "However, she didn't say that she didn't want to die in any form, so I can only grant her physical immortality within the scope of my ability."

Hearing this, Prism couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Then you are really kind..."

Xi Yao shook his head slowly: "I beg to differ."

...At this time, Elias, who was holding a gun on the other side, of course knew that the battle was over, so he rushed over...After learning that Xi Yao put the body of the Lost Disaster Shadow into the void storage space to give her physical [eternal life], he was completely stunned.

After coming to his senses, Elias turned to Xi Yao with a serious face: "Xi Yao, no matter what, necrophilia is a serious mental disorder."

Hearing this, Xi Yao was stunned at first, then he clenched his fist and was about to punch Elias to wake him up. Seeing this, Elias waved his hand and said, "Hey, I didn't say you are a necrophile. I just want to share some knowledge with you... er, just to share some knowledge, right? I didn't say you are."

Xi Yao's clenched fists slowly loosened, and he sighed softly: "You'd better think so."

Elias immediately coughed lightly and looked around: "Well, it's raining now, why don't we go back first?"

Xi Yao let out a long sigh: "Well, let's take a rest. The next afternoon, we will go to the underground jungle again."

"Why, what are you going there for again? Harvesting the fruit of life?" Elias asked.

Xi Yao shook his head: "I learned something from the Book of Terra. Under the influence of the divine essence of the Evil Age, a large southern plant growing underground in the jungle will be affected by its characteristics and become threatening... and, if we kill it, the divine essence inside it will dissipate, which is our goal."

After that, Xi Yao removed the rose stone and let the sulfur fire element return to it. Then he turned to the direction of Dongfang Town and said as he walked: "After this step, we will rest for a while. After all, we need to balance work and rest... Hmm...?"

Before Xi Yao finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked towards the sky above Dongfang Town. Seeing this, Prism and Elias also looked up...

I saw several swift figures passing over the sky above Dongfang Town, and it seemed that they dropped something light and floating... With the light from Dongfang Town, the three people could see clearly that the figures were wearing emerald green cloaks.

Is that... someone from the Terra Union...?

Elias flew up slowly: "I'll fly over and take a look first?" Xi Yao nodded in response, and then he flew away at high speed.

...Although Xi Yao could not confirm that the visitors were really from the Terra Union, the objects they dropped did not seem to be dangerous objects. Instead, they looked like pieces of paper, floating lightly and slowly falling down...If a gust of wind blew, the fallen objects would even float because of it.

Xi Yao exchanged a glance with Prism, and flew away quickly... However, before they had flown for a few seconds, they saw Elias flying over from the sky above Dongfang Town at a high speed, and soon came in front of the two of them. Then, with a slightly worried look on his face, he handed Xi Yao a piece of paper that looked like a notice.

Is it really paper...? Xi Yao frowned slightly and thought, then took it. There were not many words on it, but the font was particularly sensitive, with a black background and a red border:

[Emergency mainland notification: an annular solar eclipse will occur from 4:37 a.m. to 5:29 a.m. tomorrow. Leaders of all forces are requested to prepare for defense. The Terra Federation will be with you.

Terra Union --- Announced on X month XX day of the second year of the Second Evil Era (with the Tree of Life logo)]

"Solar...eclipse?" Xi Yao frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand why the Terra Federation would announce this natural event in the form of a continent-wide notification.

"...Xi Yao, how many years have you been on the Terra continent as a creation of God?" Elias asked.

"...Probably less than half a year..." Xi Yao answered honestly, "Two months of that time I was undergoing a kind of training as a guide."

"Hiss... In that case, the speed at which your weapons develop is too fast... Let's not talk about this for now. Since you only have half a year of memory, it makes sense that you don't know what the solar eclipse in the Evil Era means." Elias said, pinching his chin.

"What?" Xi Yao was indeed not clear about the solar eclipse. After all, he had no so-called [memory].

Elias did not answer him, but looked at the prism: "So, do you know?"

"I don't know much, just one thing: the solar eclipse in the Terra Era was very peaceful, but in the Evil Era, the solar eclipse will be a different face." Prism replied.

"That's right." Elias nodded and looked at the two of them: "Well, let me explain it to you now, how about it?"

Xi Yao nodded: "I think there should be an explanation in the Book of Terra, but it is always better to listen to someone's explanation than to read the text stiffly."

Elias waved his hand: “…The solar eclipse is a natural event. If it were the Terran Era now, the solar eclipse would be peaceful.

...However, now is the Evil Age. Under the influence of the gods' essence in the Evil Age, some special essence enemies will appear during the solar eclipse event. They are even more dangerous than the enemies at ordinary nights... Fortunately, solar eclipses usually last less than an hour, so the difficulty of resistance is greatly reduced..."

Xi Yao waved his hand to interrupt him: "...To put it simply, the solar eclipse is particularly dangerous in the Evil Age. Therefore, the Terra Federation will send someone to notify the entire continent and remind all forces to prepare for resistance?"

Elias gave a thumbs up. "You understand it very well. Whenever a solar eclipse is about to occur, the Terra Union will do this... Although the ancient communication method of manual transmission is inefficient, it is currently the most effective way to ensure the widest possible transmission of information, without a doubt... After all, not everyone will choose to use the Internet."

Xi Yao thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Then, are the enemies of Solar Eclipse more numerous or more threatening?"

"I can only answer you that the enemy monsters in the Solar Eclipse are not only numerous, but also threatening." Elias shrugged.

Xi Yao nodded: "Okay, now I understand... In addition, this way, the shelter we built in the first place doesn't have to be shelved."
