Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"You recognize me?" Wan Di asked, puzzled.

“I certainly recognize you, Wang Gui, the blasphemer.”

Gnaeus said in a deep voice:

"I also understand that you have come for the spirit of that white-haired warrior."

“That makes things easier.” Wan Di’s gaze was firm. “Hand over that cowardly swordsman and let us end this farce as soon as possible.”

“I refuse.” Gnaeus showed no mercy whatsoever.

"I acknowledge your courage and strength as we've come this far."

“But since you are trying to trample on the dignity of the defeated, I cannot stand idly by.”

Dan Heng frowned. "The defeated one...did he fail to overcome the trial?"

Gnaeus said in a deep voice:

"He fought bravely against his deepest fears, but was defeated and killed in a fierce battle."

"Therefore, I brought him into this battlefield behind me and bestowed upon him the glory commensurate with courage, perseverance, and sacrifice."

"You want to take him away? Fine: take your bronze spears and come forward to prove your beliefs match his..."

"As for cowards who have no intention of shedding blood... get out of my sight now."

"Hmph." Wan Di sneered.

"I have no interest in your pathetic mad king's brilliant ideas..."

"But since you want a fight, then come on, Titan—let me close your eyes once more with my death!"

“Not bad.” Gnaeus looked at Wan Di with an appreciative gaze.

"Your noble mother also showed me the same spirit with her spear."

"...Don't mention her name!" Wan Di's gaze sharpened, and in an instant he rushed in front of Gnaeus, slamming his fist down.

"Why?" Gnaeus quickly stepped to the left, dodging the attack from Wan Feng.

"To defend your dignity, she knew she would die from a poisonous plot, yet she still challenged the late King Xuanfeng to a duel."

Seeing the enemy continue their attack, Gnaeus continued to dodge backwards, while his mouth never stopped talking:

"Are you trying to say that all of this was just her own fault?"

Wan Di, his flesh and blood bursting forth, gritted his teeth and launched another fierce attack. "Her tragedy is your doing, the embodiment of strife. How dare you speak of her past?!"

"Humph."

Gnaeus leaped backward, creating distance between himself and Wan Di.

“I see the hatred in your eyes, Medemos. My words must have stung you. But it is precisely because of this that I finally understand…”

"This is why you murdered your father to seize the throne, yet allowed the seal of authority to sink into the underworld, unwilling to continue the glory of the Hanging Blade..."

"This is your reason for letting others perish the Titans of Strife, yet refusing the spark and perpetuating the conflict..."

“You abandoned child of fate, I’d like to see if you have the ability to extinguish your own destiny.”

Wan Di narrowed his eyes, his gaze gradually turning cold. "I will tear your chest open, Titan... just as I did to the former king!"

"Hahaha...really?"

Gnaeus laughed.

"Since you want to repeat the same mistakes, then come on."

"Ignite the flames of your fear, march onto the battlefield, fight to the borders of conflict, and devour me; or lose yourself in it, and let your fallen corpse find solace!"

"But remember this, Medemus, son of Goergo, you will surely be crowned in blood!"

"When you pierce my chest, that will be the moment you ascend to godhood—successor of the suspended blade, I salute you!"

The warriors who were fighting nearby stopped and turned to attack Wan Di.

Gnaeus said seriously:

"That white-haired warrior, knowing he was no match for the enemy, fought with his courage until the very last moment..."

"And you, Medemos? Is your killing intent worthy of fate?!"

"Prove to me that you deserve this power!"

"Cast away your mortal body in fear, King of the Hanging Edge!"

Seeing all the enemies rushing towards Wan Di, Yan Huan couldn't help but look at Dan Heng.

"Are we really that invisible? They talked for ages without even glancing at us..."

"Perhaps it's a matter of inheritance," Dan Heng pondered.

“Nikadori must have intended to pass on the flame to Wan Di, not Bai E…”

"After all, Wan Di is the crown prince of Xuanfeng City and the highest-ranking Xuanfeng person in the world today."

“Now that he’s been allowed into the trials, Nicardoli naturally wants to give him a good test.”

"What about Bai E?"

Yan Huan looked around.

"I'm afraid that if we keep dragging this out, Bai E will die."

"His life is more important, let's do it."

Seeing Yan Huan suddenly pick up the rocket launcher, Gnaeus, who was standing some distance away, quickly grabbed a soldier by the collar and threw him at Yan Huan.

"I'm getting impatient, he's here..."

“A person who should not have appeared in this world… a god-slayer… a person who defies fate… you are qualified to take him away.”

"But if you wish to interrupt the trials of Medemus, then I will destroy my own seed and never allow anyone to inherit it!"

"?" After catching the soldier, Yan Huan quickly took off his helmet and found that it really was Bai E.

He was unconscious at the moment, his eyes were dark and his face was pale, like a deer.

"That's okay."

After hoisting Bai E up, Yan Huan turned and left without even glancing at Wan Di.

"Hey!"

Amidst the chaotic battle in the crowd, Wan Di shouted at Yan Huan, "What about me?!"

“Play with them.”

"..."

Chapter 1266 I haven’t gotten in the car yet

Outside Bai E's room.

Yan Huan addressed Xia Die, Aglaia, and the other Golden Blood members who were waiting outside:

"The person has been brought back, is that alright?"

Dan Heng also added:

"The trial of the fire seed... is truly fraught with danger. I hope Bai E is safe and sound."

Aglaya said calmly:

"no need to worry."

"His spirit is still relatively stable. As long as he rests quietly for a while and calms his mind, he will recover completely."

At the same time, Xia Die showed a worried expression.

"Your Excellency Bai'e must have seen your past and your homeland, which was overthrown by the black tide, during the trial..."

"You guys have gone too far...!"

Not far away, a slightly disheveled Wan Di hurried over, gritting his teeth and saying:

"All you do is talk about is your savior, you don't care whether I've come out or not!"

"Aren't you immortal?" Yan Huan looked at Wan Di strangely. "By the way, did you pass the trial? Are you the Spear of Heavenly Retribution now?"

"Hmph, who wants to participate in that pointless trial?"

Wan Di, with his arms folded, said disdainfully:

"I found an opportunity and escaped."

"Besides, my [refusal to die] is not as unsolvable as you think."

"How is the savior now? Is he still alive... Don't let me have worked for nothing."

Xia Die explained, "There's nothing seriously wrong at the moment."

"That's good." Wan Di breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone was there, Danheng asked the question that had always been of greatest concern to him.

"Since arriving in Onfaros, I've heard many people mention the Black Tide. Could you please elaborate on what this [Black Tide] is...?"

Aglaia remained calm:

"He is one of the culprits who drove the people of Onphalus into madness."

"Since the beginning of the strife, this indescribable thing has descended upon the earth like a plague, along with the three Titans of calamity..."

"We do not know where it comes from, but we find that it is like a sea surrounding the land, constantly pressing on the still peaceful but already small land."

"That is why it was named [Kuroshio]."

"Those affected by it all become monstrous and twisted, lose their rationality, lose their humanity, and turn into bloodless and tearless beasts."

"And this is not a misfortune unique to mortals; even the Titans could not escape it."

Xia Die added to Dan Heng and Yan Huan, "According to Gnaeus, although Nicardoli is one of the incarnations of calamity, he also shoulders the mission of resisting the Black Tide..."
