Many words come out without thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just warning him that some irrelevant questions aren't worth wasting everyone's time. It's better to think them through clearly and bring them up all at once later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Wan Xin was called not bright but didn't dare show any temper, nodding repeatedly: \"Yes, yes, yes, I'm really sorry for wasting the time of all you seniors...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attitude was quite humble, as if it really was as Lin Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the players present were all shrewd and obviously wouldn't easily believe this explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the other party wasn't willing, and they had chosen to cooperate for a common goal, it obviously wasn't appropriate to force the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the question Wan Xin didn't finish could only be left unresolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye probably knew what Wan Xin wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the doubt that arose in his own mind after learning the rules of the sun and moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Li Si's explanation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon in Qiankun Land could absorb sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further, based on the principle of \"sun as light\" and \"moon as dark\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was equivalent to dark energy absorbing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark energy absorbing light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For players in this era, who had no concept of light-type talents in their consciousness, this naturally meant nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For players like Wan Xin, who had witnessed the power of the light faction in later eras, a problem would immediately become apparent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye guessed Wan Xin probably wanted to ask—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since dark energy can absorb light...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why can the light-type abilities of light-type players inflict nearly crushing damage on dark-type creatures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question, of course, could not be asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this era, there was no so-called \"light-type ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the answer to this question, Jiang Ye had his own speculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absolute dominance of light over dark occurred in later eras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the situation in later eras was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon, suspected to have transformed into the Moon Phase Clock, was locked on the rooftop of the Doomsday Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the moon was in a state of confinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was this confinement that sealed its \"light-absorbing\" ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the disappeared sun, which might have empowered light-type players in some special way...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, among players, light-type's absolute dominance over dark-type emerged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye couldn't help but delve deeper into conspiracy theories, giving rise to a new speculation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe there was a powerful dark-type player who stole the moon's \"light-absorbing\" ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why the moon was confined to the rooftop of the Doomsday Apartment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why all other dark-type players were indirectly weakened, becoming extremely afraid of light?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there really was such a powerful dark-type player capable of stealing the moon's ability...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had a guess about who that might be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be, the Mysterious Existence in the tombstone area of the 4444 Apartment underground burial ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the mastermind behind Lin Jing, Yang Wenchao, and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Mysterious Existence's claim back then was that he feared no light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he possessed a considerable number of SSS-grade talents...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Jiang Ye thought it was utterly absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, in this era where SSS-grade talents weren't so rare, it didn't seem so outrageous anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the one in the tombstone area be the one who stole the moon's ability, thus directly fearing no light?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would such an existence be sealed in the tombstone area?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was he instructing Lin Jing to do in this era?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this way, Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a considerable probability that the Mysterious Existence of the Reincarnation Mirror Palace and the Mysterious Existence of the underground burial ground were not the same person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rather, two different Mysterious Existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Reincarnation Mirror Palace attracted a large number of light-type players;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the underground burial ground was practically a paradise for dark-type players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these two Mysterious Existences in these two locations... might be opposing factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if not opposing, their goals should likely be one focused on the sun, the other on the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And regardless of whether their goals lay with the sun or the moon...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The period of sun-moon overlap during a \"solar eclipse\" seemed to be the crucial timing they focused on for taking action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these were just speculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Jiang Ye cared more about was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concept of \"sun-moon overlap\" proposed by Li Si.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the sun and moon coinciding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he, like other players, had previously used the solar eclipse phenomenon in the modern natural environment to understand the \"solar eclipse\" in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he grasped more and more information...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye suddenly felt that the \"solar eclipse\" in this world might be quite different from what they understood based on solar eclipses in the natural environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"solar eclipse\" in this world might not be the moon blocking the sun's light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rather, literally, the moon eating the sun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had this idea because in his mind, based on Li Si's concept of \"sun-moon overlap,\" he extended it to the concept of \"sun-moon fusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this extension wasn't a wild, baseless imagination on his part; there were clues to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first traceable \"clue\" lay in the Glyph Pattern Ability Wang Lingling just awakened—Yin Yang Eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes alone simultaneously possessed the dual abilities of the sun and the moon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was the deceased Qi Lin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When alive, his eyes appeared as mechanical eyeballs, which was Wang Lingling's \"Yang Eye\" state;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dead, his eyes appeared as Pure White Eyes, which was Wang Lingling's \"Yin Eye\" state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abilities of the sun and moon could appear simultaneously on the same player, and the states corresponding to the sun and moon could also appear simultaneously...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Jiang Ye logically extended it to a scenario of \"sun-moon fusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another traceable \"clue\" lay in...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strongest light clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That female-version pregnant clone that directly possessed SSSs-grade light-type ability, while her survival points displayed as \"negative infinity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That clone's talent broke through the SSS grade, adding an extra small 's'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That clone's skill included an SSS-grade divine skill—Heaven's Punishment · Divine Punishment Day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on these two points, that clone seemed to qualify as a representative of the \"sun\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, that clone's name was Jiang Yue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A representative of the sun, yet named Jiang Yue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the names Jiang Ye generated for his clones seemed completely random.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was just too coincidental for that particular clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, \"she\" shared Jiang Ye's surname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, \"her\" given name was \"Yue\" (moon).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the surname and given name carried special meanings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really just a completely random name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That clone was a pregnant woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her belly was swollen into a ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her survival points were negative infinity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye somewhat suspected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this mean she had swallowed a moon, hence her belly was swollen into a ball and her survival points were negative infinity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what she swallowed might not necessarily be the moon in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was also some kind of representative of the moon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the situation with the Jiang Yue clone also resembled a case of \"sun-moon fusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Jiang Ye came up with the idea that solar and lunar eclipses weren't merely sun-moon overlap, but sun-moon fusion, or even mutual consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the literal meaning—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solar eclipse: the moon swallows the sun;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lunar eclipse: the sun swallows the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even suspected that this phenomenon of mutual consumption might not be entirely adversarial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps a form of cooperation to achieve some goal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was rather unfortunate was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn't very sure if that \"Jiang Yue\" clone had also traveled to this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if it appeared in this era, it seemed it would also be formatted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was, during this period, the clone in Exile City had already confirmed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while within the mist, he temporarily couldn't generate light clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So perhaps he needed to wait for the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait for light-type players to appear in this world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he could generate light clones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Jiang Ye couldn't help but suspect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the reason he could stably generate light clones in the mist environment also related to the disappeared sun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Salvation's revelation, when Jiang Ye generated that \"Jiang Yue\" clone, Salvation directly shattered a piece of mist milk stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the \"Ice Ore\" of this era...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So perhaps within the Ice Ore of later eras hid the secret of the disappeared sun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other players present didn't think as much as Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only reached a clear conclusion based on the information Li Si provided—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Old Moon truly deviated from Qiankun Land and descended upon the Land of Exile...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then in Qiankun Land, the phenomenon of \"solar eclipse\" might never appear again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, was Li Ku's idea of using a \"solar eclipse\" to strip Sun People players of their identity wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Ku himself stated: \"I still think there's a considerable probability that the approach targeting the 'solar eclipse' is actually the most correct one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because in He Yuliang's previous life, I seemed to have frequently taken action during the next 'solar eclipse' period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Li Ku looked at He Yuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calculated the time; He Yuliang had about ten more minutes before waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to say, after He Yuliang woke up, maybe there was hope of asking him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Du Yuheng spoke up, his tone certain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess in He Yuliang's 'previous life,' the unexpected situation of 'Birth of the Moon Infant' did not occur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because in my Deduction Mode, I have also never deduced the birth of a Moon Infant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I strongly suspect that whether it's the so-called previous life, the so-called Deduction Mode, or any means of foreseeing the future, none can predict the Moon Infant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is, the Birth of the Moon Infant is an extremely unique, independent event in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Ku frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cang, watching the exchange between the two, couldn't help but add: \"Moreover, after He Yuliang wakes up, he probably won't be able to directly answer your questions either...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he truly randomly gets the 'Rebirth state,' then he will be directly swallowed by the Moon-Devouring Giant Toad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cang was about to suggest they all make some preparations for the situation He Yuliang would face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Ku said: \"You can rest assured about that—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This special space, that Moon-Devouring Giant Toad you mentioned, probably won't find it so easy to intervene here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Cang couldn't help but frown: \"You don't even seem to know what the Moon-Devouring Giant Toad is? Where does your confidence come from to say such a thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku didn't argue with him, stating bluntly: \"Then let's wait and see the result in over ten minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, in your eyes, He Yuliang is just an experimental subject. Do you really care that much about his life or death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cang fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if He Yuliang was really swallowed by the Giant Toad, it seemed fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cang wasn't planning to follow him into the toad's stomach for an adventure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to know if He Yuliang might possibly successfully be born by utilizing his SSS-grade [Luck] on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then relying on his [Protagonist Halo] to replicate He Yuliang's path would give him more confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Chen Cang stopped arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jiang Ye thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If what He Yuliang enjoyed during the [Salvation] judgment was already the mutated version of the [Salvation Domain] skill...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his recovery from near-death might not necessarily result in either the \"Rebirth state\" or the \"Curse of Despair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation with the mutated version of [Salvation Domain] might be different...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he wasn't in a hurry; he'd just wait and see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Li Ku proposed another idea—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the Old Moon's deviation towards the Land of Exile prevents Qiankun Land from forming a solar eclipse...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, what if we take that newly born Moon Infant to Qiankun Land?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it... replace the original Old Moon of Qiankun Land and form a brand new 'solar eclipse' phenomenon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2467,"2026-06-03T07:17:57.310Z","2026-06-03T07:18:01.092Z",1,"novelbin.me","83ad6b97b30b1236925dbab6f3b7458d5ec5cafc350c33bc18d6e1c11ad6e9c7","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-526","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-524",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
