Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

How could the God of Conflict, revered as a deity by the world, be...!

The imagined grueling battle, a struggle between life and death, never happened.

The scene was deathly silent.

The only sound that rang out was Yan Huan's footsteps.

He slowly walked to the Titan's remains, pulled up [Mimetic Abyss], then bent down and held the flame of [Conflict] in his palm.

"In that case, the people of the Holy City are safe, right?"

He slowly turned his head, as if he were doing something perfectly ordinary, his dark golden pupils beneath his hair remaining completely calm.

"Who wants this spark? Bai E?"

"You...you killed the Titan of Strife?!" Wan Di exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"Ah."

"..."

After several breaths, Wan Di finally came to his senses and said nervously:

"Give it to him... I don't want this kind of thing."

At the same time, Xia Die and Bai E also emerged from their daze.

That deity died right before their eyes.

He couldn't even withstand a single blow...

The butterfly calmed its mood and slightly opened its mouth.

"Time flies, and a long time has passed since the last Titan fell."

"[The Spear of Divine Retribution] is no more, and the Golden Blood are one step closer to the creation of the world as foretold in the oracle."

Wan Di stared at the fire in Yan Huan's hand, then looked away at the desolate scene around him.

"It's so quiet here it's suffocating... Without Titan here, this city feels so unfamiliar."

Bai E's palms trembled, but she still forced a smile.

"You've been watching it for days, constantly hearing its roars. Your ears can't handle this peace and quiet anytime soon, can they..."

"Hmph." Wan Di inquired:

"What's next?"

Xia Die replied:

“We made a pact with that Titan… The Golden Child will take its flame and use it as fuel to light the way for the future.”

Upon hearing this, Bai E stiffened and looked at her.

"So you... you've communicated with Nicardoli before."

“What did it say? I need to know…” Wan Die looked at Xia Die and Yan Huan.

As the crown prince of Xuanfeng, Wan Di still maintains reverence for the gods of his own people.

"No need to rush, Lord Wan Di," Xia Die reassured. "I will relay your message to you once we return to Ohema."

“But…” Bai E pointed at the fire in Yan Huan’s hand, looking somewhat confused.

“Aglaia said…someone must touch and absorb the [Fire Seed], temporarily becoming its vessel, for the [Fire Seed] to move.”

"Brother Yan Huan, how... how could you hold it up like that?"

"Maybe it's because I'm not human."

Yan Huan glanced at the tinder in her hand, then at Bai E.

"Anyway, you want this spark, right?"

"Okay, here you go."

Yan Huan casually tossed the fire seed into Bai E's body.

"what?"

Bai E patted his chest, feeling somewhat taken aback.

"This... I'm not ready yet!"

"How does it feel?" Wan Di asked.

"Uh... if I had to say, I don't feel anything at all." Bai E scratched his head and smiled.

"It was much easier than I expected. I originally thought that carrying the flame would require a much greater sacrifice."

"Well... now that the mission objective has been achieved, let's return to Ohm and deliver the news of victory to the two demigods."

It's hard to imagine that the God of Conflict, who became humanity's greatest enemy after being corrupted, was thus nailed to death by an unknown gun.

But at least, the vast majority of people will be happy about this.

Ohma City.

Marble Palace, inside the Hero's Bath.

Bai'e, carrying the flame, tells Tibo and Aglaia, who are waiting:

“We have completed our mission, Teacher Tibo—we are not missing any limbs, but we have gained an extra burning flame.”

Aglaia nodded. "I can sense the temperature of the fire... Well done, Bai'er, thank you for your hard work."

"No... actually, this matter doesn't have much to do with me."

Bai E was somewhat embarrassed.

"The moment Nicardoli revealed his true form, he died under the attack of the Yan brothers."

"I... didn't even have time to swing my sword."

"?"

"??"

"???"

Tibo stared wide-eyed, hands on her hips, and demanded:

"Xiao Huan is that amazing? Xiao Bai, are you lying to me? Hmm?"

Chapter 1258 Still creating division at this time?

After telling the two demigods what had happened, Aglaia simply nodded slightly, remaining calm as ever.

"Onpharos has not seen a new demigod born for a long time."

"If you can fill the void left by Nicardoli, it will be a great encouragement to the citizens of the Holy City."

"I..." Bai E lowered his head, looking somewhat melancholy.

"I must confess to you that I believe Wan Di is a more suitable candidate."

"Besides, I really didn't contribute much to defeating Nicardoli."

"The divine body was killed by Yan Huan and his brother, and the one who guarded Titan before was Wan Di."

"If I were to enjoy the fruits of this victory, I would find it difficult to do so."

“Wan Di was once the crown prince of Xuanfeng City. I think it is what the people of Xuanfeng want to see. He is more deserving of the weight of the word [Conflict] than I am.”

Upon hearing this, Aglaia looked him over and smiled.

“Naive child, you think of so many things, yet you've forgotten one thing—”

"What you have said may be the very reason why Medemus is unwilling to take over this torch."

“I have no doubt about his power and aptitude. He must have rehearsed the scene of becoming a god a thousand times in his mind.”

"But the reason he declined was that he did not want to lead his people down the same path again."

“So…” Aglaia looked at him, “Are you prepared, Bai E of the Elegies of the Secret Garden?”

Upon hearing these words, Bai E fell into deep thought.

Inside the Heroes' Bath, the sound of flowing water never ceases.

Finally, Bai'er raised his head.

"I understand."

“You two, I will share the weight of divinity with you… I am willing to make the necessary sacrifices.”

“Very good.” Aglaia nodded with satisfaction.

Tibo was overjoyed. "We've finally waited for this day, Little White. This has been your wish all along, hasn't it?"

"Mm," Bai E responded.

“Back then, if the oracle hadn’t found me… I would still be wandering aimlessly.”

"At this moment, my purpose in being is to dedicate everything to the mission of the Golden Clan."

Aglaia was very pleased, "I have never doubted your determination."

"At the same time tomorrow, the Golden Blood will gather at the heart of the Genesis Vortex to return the Spear of Divine Retribution and the Fire of Nicardoli."

"Remember, this is not an unchanging ritual of the priests."

"No one knows what price mortals will have to pay to take over the divine authority of [conflict], and your future is still full of uncertainties."

"Use the rest of your time to rest and recuperate, Bai'er."

Bai E nodded and looked at the two of them solemnly.

"I understand. See you tomorrow."
