The end of the Kotomi arc brought what seemed like a perfect conclusion to the Clannad series.

One after another, girls who were once enveloped in loneliness and sorrow.

Under the protection of the seemingly useless protagonist, Tomoya Okazaki, he found his own redemption.

The whole story is heartwarming and healing, full of the ultimate interpretation of family and friendship.

Clannad has thus become an unshakable monument in the history of Chinese animation.

Su Bai finally stepped down from his throne as the depressing demon.

He was crowned the King of Healing by viewers across the internet.

Everything seemed so beautiful and harmonious.

Until that inconspicuous official website update appeared.

The Legend of Guangyu.

This new world-building concept was initially discussed only by a few core fans in a corner of the forum.

[Hey guys, the official website's been updated! They've added a new setting for the Light Orb. Have you seen it?]

[I saw this! Holy crap, what is this? Bringing happiness to others earns you Light Orbs, and collecting them grants one wish?]

Wait a minute, I think I understand!

This setting makes everyone's brain start to think.

An analysis post appeared on an animation forum.

[I get it! I completely understand that old fox Su! This is the true underlying logic of Clannad!]

Within just one hour, it was featured on the forum's homepage.

The content of the post gave everyone who saw it goosebumps.

Do you still remember Fengzi?

[When Fuuko disappeared, what appeared in Tomoya and Nagisa's hands? A glowing starfish wood carving! What was that? That was a luminous orb!]

[Tomoya and Nagisa helped Fuuko fulfill her wish, which was a great act of kindness, so they received the Orb of Light!]

[And then there's Kotomi! Tomoya helped Kotomi resolve her long-standing inner conflict, reconnecting her with her parents! Isn't that an even greater act of kindness? I believe they must have also received the Orb of Light!]

[So, do you understand now? That old scoundrel Su never intended to deliver a shred of tragedy from the very beginning! He's just a perfectionist with a severe case of obsessive-compulsive tendencies, obsessed with foreshadowing!]

[All the kindness and help in this animation are not in vain! They will all be transformed into visible miracle insurance, the Orb of Light!]

This post, with its well-reasoned analysis, has gone viral online.

All the viewers who were moved to tears by the Fuuko and Kotomi arcs are now stunned when they look back.

It turns out that old scoundrel Su had planted such a hidden thread where they couldn't see it!

This is not a simple story of sunshine.

This is a textbook that teaches people how to accumulate good character through doing good deeds and ultimately achieve happiness!

[I declare that Su Bai is my one and only true god! I apologize for raising my voice a little earlier!]

[Perspective! What is perspective? While we're still laughing and crying over the plot, what a level of perspective they've already reached!]

[I knew it! I knew Teacher Su was truly healed this time! Guangyu is his reassurance to everyone! Now we're safe! No matter what happens next, as long as Guangyu is there, everything can be resolved!]

The audience went completely wild.

They frantically analyzed every detail in the animation, trying to find more clues about the Light Orb.

They were smug about their ability to see through Su Bai's true intentions.

The online discussion has evolved from simply praising the story as good to admiring Su Bai himself.

Inside the office of Healing Animation.

Looking at the well-reasoned posts, Shen Qingyue finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

On his face, the brightest smile he had shown in a long time appeared.

Holding her tablet, she rushed up to Su Bai, her voice filled with barely suppressed admiration.

"I finally understand!"

"Su Bai, so this is your true cure! An insurance policy that puts everyone at ease!"

"You kept this plot point hidden until the very end so we could all experience the thrill of solving the mystery, right?"

The girl's eyes were sparkling.

The unease that had lingered in her heart for so long finally vanished in the face of the seemingly unsolvable problem of the Light Jade.

Su Bai looked at her relieved expression and then glanced at the ecstatic audience on the screen.

He smiled but didn't say anything.

He whispered it in his heart, in a voice only he could hear.

"Light can bring miracles, but it can also be a point of reference for witnessing tragedy."

"You saw hope, but I saw the countdown to sacrifice."

Just then.

In Su Bai's mind, the system that had been dormant for a long time suddenly sounded a notification sound that was completely different from the past.

[Ding! A world-class emotional resonance medium, the Light Jade, has been detected.]

[Hidden quest, "The Poems of Humanity," has begun.]

A brand new interface appeared before Su Bai's eyes.

On the interface, there is a huge progress bar.

【Radiant Orb: 0/12】

There is another line of smaller text below.

【hint】

[Each time your artwork triggers a recordable positive restoration event in the real world, you can collect one Earthly Jewel.]

Once you collect all twelve, you will gain the authority to define a miracle.

Su Bai looked at this brand new mission, his eyes narrowing slightly.

It turned out to be the case.

The system wants more than just the audience's tears and emotional impact.

It is about using our work to genuinely change the world.

Su Bai closed the system interface and opened the largest social media platform in the Dragon Kingdom.

A short video that had just topped the social news trending list caught his eye.

The person who filmed the video was a young man who worked away from home for many years and had a distant relationship with his father.

He wrote at the beginning of the video.

I've recently been watching an animated series called Clannad, and the themes of family relationships in it have reminded me of many things. I've decided to go home and visit my family.

The camera shakily shows him carrying his luggage, standing in front of an old door, and awkwardly knocking on it.

When the door opened, there was an elderly man with gray hair and a look of astonishment on his face.

The young man bowed deeply to his father, his voice choked with emotion.

"Dad, I'm home."

At the end of the video, the father and son are sitting awkwardly in the living room.

The TV was on, and the screen was replaying the hilarious daily life of the lively couple Akio Furukawa and Sanae.

Although there weren't many words, the warmth that broke the ice touched everyone through the screen.

The video title is simple.

An animated film taught me what family truly means.

The video has received over a million likes.

The system notification sounded in Su Bai's mind again the instant the video ended.

[Ding! Your work has triggered a recordable positive event that heals families and bonds in the real world.]

The progress bar has changed.

【Radiant Orb: 1/12】

[Further acquisition of the Radiant Orbs requires greater emotional resonance.]

Su Bai's fingertip gently traced across the lit icon.

A kind of almost cruel pleasure slowly spread through his heart.

He finally understood how the hidden system quest worked.

He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the screen, through time and space, and saw the immense sorrow that was about to sweep the globe.

He chuckled softly.

"So that's how it is."

"So, in order to collect the remaining eleven Light Orbs..."

"A global social upheaval seems inevitable."

"Let a great tragedy give birth to the most brilliant light in the world."
