A long, long time ago … there was such a wonderful legend.
Among many civilizations … there was a legend.
No matter which civilization, country, city … in these places, there was no lack of residents with dreams and wishes.
Many residents were constantly working hard to fulfill their wishes, but there were also many residents who did nothing in order to fulfill their wishes.
They didn't work hard to do anything, but they kept thinking about how their wishes could be fulfilled. There were many such residents.
After all, it was a wonderful thing to have one's dreams come true, but in most cases, these residents who only knew how to imagine would only be despised by their own kind. Imagining without working hard was meaningless.
But … this wasn't an absolute situation. Sometimes, just imagining could make a wish come true.
But this required some special conditions, and that was to 'go to the place of the colorful light.'
This was the main content of the ancient legend. It was said that if you went to the place of the colorful light, you could fulfill all your wishes. No matter how humble a creature was, as long as they sincerely prayed there, their wishes could come true.
This legend was spread among many civilizations. Although it seemed to be nonsense, many creatures still took action, trying to find the place where the colorful light came from.
This place was like its name, a place illuminated by the colorful light.
This kind of colorful light could appear anywhere, usually in the wilderness. When it appeared, it could cover a large area with its colorful light.
As long as one stood in the colorful light and tried hard to imagine their wishes, they could come true.
Although this legend was widespread, not many creatures believed in it. However … with the support of the idea of reaping without sowing, some creatures began to search for the colorful light. Although searching for it was also a form of effort, it was much simpler than trying to fulfill one's wish.
After all, finding the light was related to luck, and it wasn't too difficult.
Indeed … many creatures found the light and tried hard to imagine, to imagine their wishes coming true.
Soon, these creatures found that … the legend was true. Under the magical power of the light … their wishes slowly came true.
Although they wouldn't receive any notifications, the creatures who made their wishes in the colorful light would suddenly know that their wishes had come true. Finally, they would leave the colorful light and return to the city to wait for their wishes to come true.
Yes … slowly.
Wishes were not granted immediately. It was a slow process.
If a creature's wish was to reach the top, it wouldn't reach the top immediately. Instead, it would slowly raise its status.
The creature that made the wish did find that its status was rising, but it was a very slow process. During the process, the creature would encounter some problems.
It would … ignore many things around it. No matter what it was, it would ignore it. It would only care about the wish it had made.
If it was injured, it would not care about the wound. It would not care about who beat it up, even if someone wanted to kill it …
It wouldn't care about that either. It would only pay attention to the process of its status rising.
Almost all creatures who made wishes in the colorful light would end up like this. Their wishes would be … granted.
However, the process of realizing this wish was very slow, and in the process of realizing it, they would ignore everything around them.
As a result, no creature could live until their wishes were fully realized.
At first, these creatures who made wishes were only thought to be crazy. However … at some point in time, in a certain civilization, there were many creatures who made wishes in the colorful light. Because many residents believed in this legend, they went to the colorful light to make their wishes.
These people who made wishes were so numerous that they could affect the normal operations of a city.
Therefore, the ruler of this civilization started to investigate this incident. It quickly tracked down the legend of the colorful light and found … the place where the colorful light happened. After it understood the whole story, it announced to the entire civilization about the colorful light.
This time, the colorful light was no longer a legend. It was treated as a real abnormal event.
After knowing the specific situation, most of the residents were terrified of the colorful light. They no longer dared to go near it to make their wishes.
The ruler decided to study the colorful light in detail.
In the preliminary investigation, it understood many … details about the colorful light.
For example, a creature could only make one wish. After that, they could not make more wishes.
Wishes were not impossible to fulfill. If the wish was to make a stone shatter and then immediately stepped on the stone, the wish would be considered fulfilled. The person who made the wish would not enter a state of ignoring everything.
The more complicated the wish, the longer it would take to fulfill it. There was no way to speed up the process.
There were also some wishes that could not be fulfilled. For example, the wish to destroy the entire world would not happen in the first place.
Generally speaking, wishes that were related to an individual were not a problem. However, they could not make wishes that had a huge impact.
Therefore, the ruler of this civilization thought of a way. It thought of using the colorful light's wishes … to make the entire civilization prosperous.
It specially cultivated a group of … wish-makers and had them make many special wishes.
For example, if a technology could not be completed, it would have the wish-makers make wishes to complete the technology. Other than that, there were wishes to eliminate crime and so on.
Because the range of influence of each wish was very small, it cultivated a large number of wish-makers … allowing the large number of wishes to affect the entire civilization.
And these wish-givers would be strictly protected. The ruler would ensure that they could live until the moment their wish was fulfilled. Using this method, it allowed the development of the entire civilization to advance by leaps and bounds. It also caused the crime rate to almost disappear, becoming the most successful ruler in history.
However … something unusual happened.
Just as the ruler looked at the peaceful and perfect civilization and looked forward to the future development … the colorful light disappeared.
This meant that it could not make any more wishes. Therefore, the ruler ordered that the colorful light must be found.
It mobilized a large army to search for the colorful light in the wilderness.
