Special

1
No matter what difficulties and challenges we have to confront,
as a community facing the same fate,
all humans should abandon prejudice and unite,
and steel ourselves for the long river of time.
Everything is flourishing
the memories awaken
Who is listening attentively?
The floating dust
finally settled
The illusions that appear
all disappear
Don't continue to be silent
Don't retreat anymore
Be as persistent as before
This world has changed
Ready to bathe in your own flame
Ready to be reduced to ashes
Human natures
Human natures are what we can only
count on

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRecap
Marc's mission
may have been to become a bridge between mankind and Eco.
Whether he's like what you said or not,
I'll have to verify it myself
Accept it.
The Marc right now is our hope.
Come on, go after him.
Your rage makes no sense.
The surging emotions
leave us nowhere to hide in the eyes of extremozoans.
Scarlet Whirlpool is turning up again.
We must get things done before they evolve.
Master Lai never gets it wrong.
Destroying with your own hands
the shelter you've been protecting for your whole life.
How does it feel?
All dead.
All dead.
Because of you,
they're all dead.
Human beings are always trapped in emotions.
Even if the truth is right in front of you, you will never recognize it.
You have been saving my butts,
but this time,
I'm returning your favor once and for all.
In this outfit,
you look a lot more like a superior.
Come up here.
This wall
is a miniature of all human beings.
Though living in pain and numbness day after day,
humans break open a way through thornbushes,
and recover from time to time.
Someone once told me
that light gave birth to darkness.
But only in darkness
can light be born.
It is the darkest hour of Lighthouse,
but also, the best time to embrace light.
We
shall never abandon the responsibility of reviving mankind.
Under your guidance, bishop, my lord,
Lighthouse will sure become better.
Is that so?
Was it
my guidance
to cut off the hunter's anchor?
I did it to
You did it to save me,
or for your inferior pals?
You said that
only when I'm on the right path,
can I have the chance to live.
Very good.
Compared to last time,
it was done much more neatly.
Tell me.
Those who went against the Lord of Light and Shadow,
what shall we do with them?
Bishop, my lord,
we've got hardly any hunters who have been to the ground.
If
you allow them to atone for their sins
Aren't you afraid that when they learn the truth,
they'll eat you alive?
Bishop, my lord,
I
I wanted to be the captain of Hunters.
I said you were smart,
but not smart enough.
Have you forgotten the fate
of the former Hunter captain?
4068, a name of an inferior.
You'd better give it up in the future.
Bishop, my lord,
the inauguration ceremony is ready to begin.
All living creatures came from the light.
All living creatures will go with the shadow.
From now on,
you will be called Suiying.
Thank you, bishop, my
Thank you, master, my lord, for bestowing the name.
Do you think
we can go back to the ground?
You know,
the extremozoan Marc,
is the key to our return to the ground.
But you cut off
our only link with the Eco.
Captain,
your first mission,
is to bring back Captain Marc
from the ground safe and sound.
The light cleanses my soul.
The shadow shelters my body.
Restrain desires with virtue.
Being joyous but not indecent.

THE
CROSS-
STREE
VALLEY
\h\h\hWhen the disaster happened, the earth's plates
collided and crushed against each other.
\h\h\hThe uplifted strata brought with them a
high-populated prosperous city of the Old World,
forming the unusual geographic view of crisscross streets.
\h\h\hNowadays, the Cross-Street Valley has been invaded by
the Eco and become part of the Scarlet Whirlpool.
By the time tribute is due,
all the kin, even distantly related,
gather here.
Do you think
the guy called Marc can get in here?
Hard to say.
Compared to last year,
there are a lot more coming to scarlet whirlpools this time.
It's that crappy pot lid
that delivered so many human heads here.
I wonder
what the hell will be transformed this time.
Anyway, whoever can walk up to the king of flowers and release souls
will be promoted.
Boss,
Master Lai doesn't have an issue with you, does he?
He sent us here at this moment.
Maybe
he wanted to get rid of us.
Nonsense.
We have been waiting so long and haven't seen the Marc guy.
We'd better get out of here right away
before we are spotted.
He's already here.
Look.
Where is he?
Have you ever seen a four-legged one?
Is that him?
How come
The pot lid up there,
are they trying to save people or ruin them?
Master Lai said
this guy had special physical constitution.
Could it be
Whatever.
But
coming to scarlet whirlpools now,
could he have already fed on meat?
Contain your emotions
and stay in essence-control state.
Is Master Lai their inside man or something?
Asking us to take back something so monstrous,
is he collaborating with them from within?
That's it.
I always feel he looks like a relative of extremozoans.
Cut it out.
Boss,
how can Master Lai ask us to take back an extremozoan?
If
he really transformed from Marc
Even if he transformed from a human,
what's the point of taking him back
if he is in such a bad shape?
Think about it.
Apart from extremozoans,
who else
can access the mouth of scarlet whirlpools?
So maybe he is the one
who can actually get in.
But I'm afraid his spiritual essence
has been almost eroded out.
There's hardly any human consciousness left in him.
That's right,
boss,
we can't take the risk.
Those ugly monsters are still busy paying their tributes.
Let's get out of here.
Look.
He seems to be resisting Flora Manna's instructions.
Looks like there's still a bit human nature left in him.
It seems the Eco has not completely eroded his spiritual essence.
He may still stand a chance.
Get ready.
After getting out of essence-control state,
we will be exposed to extremozoans.
We must be very careful.
Get ready.
System started.
Searching for nearby Mana spiritual terminals.
E3 has the strongest signal source.
Let's do it.
Shanda, start the clock.
Cut off their source transport channels.
Shut the door.
I'm afraid even these huge boulders won't keep them off for long.
After being cut off,
the signal pathway between them and the Eco
will go into a short period of disorder.
Now,
mark the Spiritual Breath Seeds.
Make it quick.
Got it.
Secure the target.
If his spiritual essence is damaged,
we will bring back nothing but a fool.
Xiadou.
Watch out.
I can't aim straight when you shake.
All of them are awakened
and rush towards the target.
Look over there.
We were too careless.
His blood has activated Las Morass.
Xiadou.
Suixing.
Boss.
Boss,
if you make a move now,
it will accelerate your cell collapse.
If it goes any longer,
there'll be more of them coming to pay tributes.
Stay back, all of you.
Boss, take it.
THE
PRICK
CUPPING
JAR
\h\h\hThe use of the Prick Cupping Jar is similar to some kind of long-lost medical
treatment of the Old World. After the jar is adsorbed onto the patient's skin,
a needle in the jar thrusts into the meridian invaded by the Eco. When the jar
is removed, it takes out completely the Manna substances that have silted up
in the meridian.
\h\h\hIt is believed that the ancient characters engraved on the jar may have some
kind of influence on the space the jar is in when it is used.
THE
SCARLE
WHIRLPOOL
The Scarlet Whirlpool is a sign of
Manna ecologylogical Evolution. It's position and
duration has yet to be further observed. Its scarlet
whirling flames attract many extremozoans to gather
around it to feed life essence to Flora Manna.
It is speculated that a Scarlet Whirlpool
is the spiral-shaped exterior form of a huge
underground plant affected by the earth's
gravity.
Generally, there can be more than one
scarlet whirlpools forming in one region,
but only one of them can evolve into a
'Spring' to be in the center of the Eco.
Come on.
Did you know,
that in the old world,
people in love would hold a ceremony
called wedding.
Congratulations, Captain.
They would receive blessings from their friends.
Captain, you're freaking hot today.
Monster.
Because of you,
they're all dead.
He's a big boy now.
You'll get all of us killed.
You damn extremozoan.
A liar.
Kill him.
Kill him.
Kill him.
Marc,
without me,
you still have to
live on.
The soul in the physical body
has no doubts in its childhood, youth, and old age.
Similarly, the wise who obtains a transformed body
didn't have doubts in its former life.
Never at any time did I not exist,
nor you, nor all these kings.
WARM BODIES
From now on,
never shall we cease to exist in the future.
Sign: Hermetica
Sign: Hermetica Complexity
Sign: Hermetica Complexity Quantum
For eternal, imperishable, and infinite souls,
the material body will come to an end.
Therefore,
you shall fight.
What happened to you,
we already know.
Don't be upset.
Look at me.
When you tried to rip the heart
out of my dog,
I fainted from the pain right away.
But I'm all right now.
I did everything I can in the past few days.
Why are you still more dead than alive, big guy?
Kill me.
Boss,
he talked.
Cut him loose.
Xiadou,
the last level.
For an extremozoan,
when its Spiritual Breath Seed is badly damaged,
if it doesn't ingest enough life source in time,
it'll die very soon.
It is true
that in a sense,
you killed her with your own hands.
But driven by survival instincts,
even humans
may not be able to control themselves.
Kill me.
When the catastrophe broke out,
the whole world was like a purgatory.
People lost everything in an instant.
They fought against each other for survival,
unscrupulously.
SIGN: Bastard! Leave the girl alone!
Starving parents lost their mind
and ate their children,
starting with the youngest one.
Relatives and friends killed each other
for a place in a shelter.
Our beloved ones were abducted and enslaved,
but we could do nothing about it.
We were betrayed by our most trusted.
Everyone was afraid that
one night,
we would end up as food in the mouth of our pals.
Do you know what your friends
taste like?
In order to survive,
we once lost our humanity.
Although walking on the ground like humans,
we live like beasts.
But you
are fortunate.
You've got a sweetheart,
friends,
and a group of men who would
give up their lives for whatever you say.
Even when you transformed into a monster,
they still stood up for you.
The girl in your mind
sacrificed herself for the one she loved.
What about you?
Do you want to make their efforts meaningless?
You didn't fully understand Lighthouse.
You didn't understand the extremozoans.
You didn't even know the darkness of human nature.
Yet you rashly tried to break the rules of survival in apocalyptic age,
which made everything you did backfire.
The harsh living environment
Sign: Stay or Leave?
Sign: Stay or Leave? Earth Vine, 19 Nilwana?
turns the evil in human's mind
into an abyss that can swallow everything.
Sign: Population Change 49 Days into Incubation Combination Degree 82%
Sign: Population Change 49 Days into Incubation Combination Degree 82% Breaking!!! Human body becoming culture medium of weird plant
Sign: Population Change
Breaking!!! Human body becoming culture medium of weird plant
Sign: Breaking!!! Human body becoming culture medium of weird plant!
In a purgatory where no one can survive,
Sign: Breaking!!! Human body becoming culture medium of weird plant, witness say plant grew out of human body and attracted weird monster!
our tragedies
will never come to an end.
Sign: Death Is Not An End
Only by eradicating Manna ecology,
the culprit that destroys everything,
can humanity truly embrace a new life.
Sign: Human survivors discovered on west coast
And we'll be able
to go back to the ground with the ones we love
and live freely.
From the moment Manna ecology came into being,
its purpose was to absorb the life source of all humans.
When scarlet whirlpools started to show up,
it means that they are breeding more powerful extremozoans.
Sign: diffusion increased
Sign: diffusion increased landscape changed drastically
And the channels in the scarlet whirlpools
directly lead to the center of the Eco.
Only when we get in there
can we find a way to fight against the Eco.
It's a shame
that humans
can never enter the channels.
Sign: Mutants Found All Over The World
Many of these people have lost their most valued things.
But despair and fear
didn't crush our will.
We have found
our own way of living.
We risked our lives to bring you back
because we saw that there were human emotions left in you.
Missing the one that you love,
raging at the one that betrayed you,
and the agony you feel when you suffer.
These strong emotions that burst out in adversity
are the key to unlocking a human's potential power.
Emotion is our weak point,
but it is also the source of our power.
Just as harsh environments
force all living beings to evolve constantly,
our spiritual world
also needs such a leap.
As an Eco chimera,
you may be the only one to get into the channels of scarlet whirlpools.
This is also your responsibility.
If you like,
I will tell you how to activate the indetectable innate power
hidden in a human body.
You will experience unimaginable cultivation
and go through heart piecing pain.
You'll have to forget you are a human,
and totally become a part of the Eco,
but, in the meantime, keep your mission in your mind.
I'm almost done.
I'll have to start all over again.
Sign: PLAY AGAIN?
Whether to bite the bullet and keep fighting,
or to give up and avoid your responsibility,
it's all up to
you.
Acknowledgments to all who have been with us during Season 1. The world of Ling Cage lives because of you.
Our gratitude to all who love Ling Cage. Thanks for being with us!
Ling Cage Season 2 Coming Soon
The moment you break out of your cocoon,
you gaze at the fantastic prosperity of the world.
Let's turn into butterflies together.
This will be the sublimation of our souls.
The dialog deep in our genes
lead us to wrapping ourselves up.
Confined in our own cocoons,
foolishly, we melt ourselves down.
When our skins and nerves are reduces to dregs,
where are our viscera?
Who dug out my eyes
for the pleasure of turning from a cocoon into a butterfly?
God told me
it is a price I must pay.
You are not him.
You are just a weirdo breaking out of the shell.
Break it,
together with the genetic lies.
Wriggle your body and bite up your cocoon.
When the remains of the body struggles and melts away,
when the broken shackles fall
and wander in bright shadows,
at least I have this world, for now.
God told me
it is a price I must pay.
You are not him.
You are just a weirdo breaking out of the shell.
Break it.
together with the genetic lies.
Wriggle your body and bite up your cocoon.
You are not him.
You are just a weirdo breaking out of the shell.
Break it.
together with the genetic lies.
You are not him.
You are just a weirdo breaking out of the shell.
Break it.
together with the genetic lies.
Wriggle your body and bite up your cocoon.
