The moss winds its way up one hundred and nine steps, with a slight chill seeping into the stone, while specks of frost embellish the surroundings, scattering the light cast by the Spirit Crystals.
The tall, dark-golden Divine Temple of the True Monarch shimmers in the Dark World, with hundreds of Spirit Crystal fragments inlaid, making the entire temple faintly glow.
The architectural style has a desolate and rugged aesthetic characteristic of a broken world, yet it evokes a sense of awe, with a subtle emergence of solemnity.
Hanshang stands at the top of the stone steps, before the temple, dressed in white robes, bowing respectfully.
Below the steps are all the humans in this sanctuary. Compared to a few years ago, when the number barely exceeded two hundred struggling souls, the total now surpasses four hundred. Besides more than seventy newborns, over a hundred were discovered by Hanshang in the Dark World's ruined little towns over the years.
