"Once, a group of savage humans were chased by beasts and fled to the Dusk Territory, where they found shelter and eventually developed into this." In the Dusk Cathedral, Tia spoke of a past that did not surprise Zheng Yichen.
The indigenous people here just hadn't developed a clear civilization, yet they could still communicate with one another. Since they could communicate, information flowed, letting them know this place was a safe haven.
Then came this kind of ritual. Other things might happen during the process, like problems with littering, but those who littered would likely be punished by Dusk.
Zheng Yichen wasn't interested in this matter anymore. He changed the subject, "What's my harvest this time?"
Tia brought out the little notebook responsible for recording Zheng Yichen's merit points and handed it to him.
Upon opening the notebook and glancing at the newly added numbers, Zheng Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "50 merit points? This looks pretty good, right?"
