Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

As the king of Xuanfeng City, Wan Di still has some things he can't let go of.

Entering the trial rashly in this state makes it easy to get lost.

“Oh, many hands make light work, right?” Tibo tilted her head. “But the trials of demigods ultimately fall on the individual…”

"Little enemy, I want to ask you something."

Tibo looked up. "Your people...have always been hoping for a new king to be crowned, haven't they?"

“If you were to take over the divine authority, they would surely follow you willingly… because you are the hero of Suspended Peak City.”

“I know.” Wan Di said with a serious expression.

"And this, Ms. Tirispios..."

"This is my deepest fear."

Wan Di bids farewell to Tibo and soon heads to the hot bath to find his old friend.

There are many children here.

Seeing them running wildly by the bath, Wan Di couldn't help but remind them, "Children, don't play around here, it's easy to get into danger."

"Oh, it's a prince?!"

The children stopped chasing and all looked up at Wan Di.

"Is the prince here to take a bath too?!"

"Oh~ The prince is here!"

"What a lucky day!"

"I want to hear the prince tell stories of the battlefield!"

"Are you all sons of the Suspended Edge?"

“That’s right, we are all Suspended Peak people! Even the kids in Ohmma don’t dare to challenge the hot tub!”

The children at Xuanfeng were very proud.

"I heard from my elders that my family used to live right next to the arena... right next to the arena!" the seemingly ordinary child said with a smile.

"My dad is a centurion in the Serpent Cavalry, my mom is the bravest warrior in the Aegis Brigade, and Grandpa Kratos gave my family so many silver coins!" The somewhat burly boy was very excited.

“My parents are serving in the Holy City Guard… They are warriors of the Peak, braver than all the Ohmans.” The child, who had just finished urinating, smiled.

"Hmm, are there no adults bathing with you?" Wan Di asked.

"Hey, Mom and Dad are asleep. We sneaked out to play and played hide-and-seek with Grandpa Kratrus!"

"I knew it..." Wan Di was speechless.

"That old rascal... I happen to need to speak with him. Where is Clatrus?"

Another child, who was urinating next to a hot bath, answered:

"I don't know. We haven't seen him for a while. Could he have lost his way?"

“How could that be?” the burly boy retorted. “Grandpa Kratrus is the King Wing Champion, and he’s the best at tracking enemies.”

“He was counting at the mouth of the Lion of Truth ahead of me. I was curious and wanted to run over and take a look, but I was afraid it was a trap he had set.”

“Good, very vigilant.” Wan Di nodded.

"Which truth lion's mouth?"

"The one near the bathhouse."

"Okay." Wan Di received the answer.

"I'm going to find him. You guys can just consider the game over and go home as soon as possible."

"Also, urination and defecation are strictly prohibited near the bathhouse. There are restrooms nearby... I remember saying this more than once."

"What does it matter?" the child muttered.

"The water here is all spiritual water. Not to mention urine, even vomit will be purified if poured in."

"I also know a few old ladies who often dump wastewater into the bathhouse, saving them the money they would have spent on wastewater treatment..."

"?" Wan Di narrowed his eyes.

"If everyone did this, who would dare to soak in this bathhouse?"

"As citizens of Xuanfeng, we should be strict with ourselves and set a good example of good character."

"This is a city, a place where we live, not a battlefield."

"You must protect the environment, understand?"

"Oh." The children nodded in agreement, and then immediately distanced themselves from Wan Di.

"You're such a busybody, Prince."

Wan Di: “…”

Chapter 1268 Do you really want to return home?

"By the way, Your Highness."

"Is there anything else?" Wan Di asked, puzzled.

“Well, I heard people say that you’ve brought back the flame of Nicardi…”

The child with the tender cheeks asked:

"Will we be able to go home soon?"

"..."

Wan Di was silent for a moment, then asked in return:

"Have any of you been to Suspended Peak City?"

"No……"

"Ugh."

“You were born in the Holy City, and your lives are no different from those of the Ohma people. Your understanding of your race comes only from what others have told you.”

"You haven't even seen that celestial blade with your own eyes... In that case, how can you talk about returning home?"

The child blurted out, "Because this isn't home."

His childish words were very earnest.

"My parents said that children born with a sword in their hand are destined to go to the battlefield."

“Yes, yes,” another child chimed in. “They also said that the Prince’s elite elite army is Onphalus’s most valiant and invincible force.”

The strongest kid lowered his head. "The kids in Holy City don't want to play with us. They know their parents are Suspended Peak people, so they stay far away..."

“But we don’t care.” He looked up.

"Everyone knows that one day, the prince will take us back to our hometown."

"..."

Faced with these children, Wan Di was at a loss for what to do.

The current Suspended Peak City is in a state of utter ruin and is also heavily polluted by the Black Tide.

Let alone housing, even survival is a problem.

If we really want to bring these children back to their hometown, it will involve reconstruction and purification... but where will we find so many resources to build another city-state?

The current elite troops and local soldiers of Ohm are already doing their utmost to defend the city of Ohm.

“It’s not the right time yet,” Wan Di shook his head.

"Young man of the precipice, heed my command: return to your parents and from this day forward, dedicate all your time to diet and exercise."

"To become a qualified Suspended Warrior, there are two things you absolutely cannot neglect."

“Only in this way will you be qualified to return home.”

Upon hearing this, the children immediately became excited.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Seeing the children disperse and go back to their mothers, Wan Di finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After only a short chat, he felt an immense pressure weighing on his shoulders.

It was a hundred times more difficult than the trials of Nicardoli.

After searching around the bathhouse, Wan Di finally found the old man he was looking for in front of the Lion's Mouth.

At this moment, the vigorous old man was debating with the lion of truth, while behind him were two soldiers responsible for monitoring him.

"Damn it, it's him, the crown prince of Xuanfeng City..." A soldier frowned as he saw Wan Di.

Another soldier sneered:

"What's the panic! With the Senate's instructions, the Golden Clan wouldn't dare to do anything to us."

Seeing them blocking his way, Wan Di narrowed his eyes and shouted, "You lackeys of the Senate, get out of the way."

The soldier didn't move, but instead shouted, "The military police in Ohmma are on official duty. Do not approach!"

Wan Di narrowed his eyes. "Don't make me say it a second time."

Seeing that he looked like he was about to launch an attack, the two soldiers immediately chickened out.

The mission belongs to the Senate, but your life is your own.

"Wait, don't do it!" The soldier quickly retreated, saying nervously.

"This time, uh... I'll let you pass this time, but this time, this won't happen again!"

After the two soldiers stepped back, Kratos did not look back at Wan Di, but continued to chat with the Lion of Truth.

"Do you consider yourself knowledgeable in both ancient and modern times?"
