Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Really? That's a shame it's been contaminated." Yan Huan scratched her head.

"Isn't there any way to save the corrupted Titan?"

It has now been confirmed that the Black Tide has spread to Tree Garden, and none of the scholars here survived. There is a very high probability that Serhis was assimilated by the Black Tide.

But since she was a relatively close Titan, it would be a bit of a waste to turn her into a spark.

"Not at the moment," Xia Die shook her head.

"Otherwise...it wouldn't have turned out like this."

"However, we have also reached an agreement with these Titans who are benevolent towards humanity."

“They will provide us with support during our journey to find the fire, and we will only return their embers to their rightful place at the very last moment of the journey.”

"Isn't this a Titan traitor?" Yan Huan's eyes widened.

He helped a group of ordinary people kill their own compatriots, and in the end, he himself was also killed.

From a human perspective, they are indeed good people... but to the Titans, these guys are just beasts.

"Tian believes that Cesis will be fine. After all, everyone in Tree Court is very smart."

"So~"

"Little Huan, Little Butterfly, let's leave the task of finding Little Xia and everyone else to Tian—Tian is amazing at finding people, she can even fly!"

“Alright.” Xia Die handed the spindle to Tian.

"Then Lord Tian should take the weft needle with him; the gold thread should be able to play a greater role at higher altitudes."

"However, please promise us... that you will take good care of yourselves."

"Good!" Tian laughed.

"If Tian is in danger, she will definitely come to find everyone."

"Of course, if you encounter any danger, remember to call for Tian—Tian will come and help you escape!"

“This is the second thing I want to talk about,” Xia Die instructed.

"Unless absolutely necessary, do not use the Hundred Realms Gate. Lord Tian's health is not good."

"If you really want to run away, leave it to me," Yan Huan said.

"Although I don't quite believe we'd end up running away..."

It's just a Black Tide monster.

"Oh, I forgot that Little Huan could replace me," Tian said suddenly.

"But are you really alright?"

"Opening the Gate to a Hundred Realms consumes a lot of energy!"

“Just opening the door is fine,” Yan Huan pondered. “But if it’s an attack of that magnitude like in Suspended Peak City, I’ll probably disconnect after a few more shots.”

For Yan Huan, the cost of teleportation was negligible compared to a powerful attack.

The butterfly nodded.

"Lord Tian, ​​do you remember the brave heroes in the story? They would save their powerful strength for last, so that they would be absolutely sure of success."

“Little Butterfly is right!” Tian nodded. “Then, brave Tian, ​​go first and clear the way for everyone!”

After Tian took off, Mimi also flew out.

"Mimi mi... Mimi! (Everyone's so motivated! Let's get them to use Oronis's power to help too!)"

Mimi flew toward the monster's remains, trying to rummage through its memory.

Surrounded by Yan Huan and Xia Die, she closed her eyes and began to work.

About three minutes later, she opened her eyes, turned around, and smiled.

"Mimi~ Mimi... (Hehe~ I couldn't find any memories...)"

"Pshaw, I can't even see that kind of thing, it would be a miracle if you could."

After calling Mimi back, Yan Huan and Xia Die continued towards the big tree.

During the journey, Xiaodie spoke:

"The reason why the two of you cannot access their memories is perhaps because... the lives swallowed by the Black Tide have no soul left."

"Is that so? At least humans infected and turned into zombies can still retain their memories of their previous lives."

Yan Huan sighed:

"This black tide seems to be more terrifying than I thought."

Along the way, every now and then some Black Tide monsters that weren't quite dead would get up and then be sawed in half by Yan Huan.

There's no point in leaving a complete corpse for a monster that doesn't even have a soul.

Arriving at the entrance of the main hall, Xia Die reached out and pushed the tightly closed door.

"It can't be opened... It seems the door has been sealed to resist the Black Tide."

"There's no keyhole here either."

Yan Huan stared at the door for a long time, but couldn't find any mechanism to open it.

"Forget it, let's just go inside."

He put his hands in his pockets, then slowly pulled out an electric drill.

Xiadie: “…”

“Your Excellency, Janus’s power…is far stronger than we imagined.”

"Since it's a creation of the Three Titans of Fate, perhaps we can find the key through Euronis's eyes..."

At the same time, a voice came from the direction of the door.

"What a joke! It's just a door, and your first thought is to seek help from the gods."

"?" Yan Huan looked up and found a transparent projection in front of the door.

He scrutinized the two men and said in a deep voice:

Before unlocking the door, let's try to unlock the lock in our hearts first.

"Dude, where are you from?" Yan Huan asked, her eyes wide.

“My name is Anaxagoras, one of the Seven Sages of the Tree of Wisdom, and the founder of the School of the Wise.”

The man's projection silently watched the two of them.

"Let me make this clear from the start: First, don't call me Na Ke Xia."

"Ah... what the heck?" Yan Huan raised an eyebrow. "Never mind, I'll just call you Na Ke Xia. Do you even know what this tree garden is like..."

"Second, don't interrupt me; silence is golden."

Yan Huan: "..."

At that moment, Xia continued:

"What I am speaking to you here today is not a remnant of memory, but the crystallization of my science, a noble, pure, certain, and unquestionable truth."

“By using the alchemy method, I shattered my soul, refined it into gold, and buried it here.”

“I recorded these words so that the person coming would know where to go.”

"Alchemy? Shattering the soul? That's ruthless... I thought this was a holographic projection." Yan Huan immediately felt pity.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is all necessary," Xia said in a deep voice.

"Alchemy is not a perfect art. What you hear depends on the amount of soul I have given up; it is not something created out of thin air."

"Why are you still responding?" Yan Huan tilted her head. "Aren't you just like a recording?"

"Because my calculations are meticulous." Xia said expressionlessly at that moment.

"I also know that you have discovered that Shuting suffered a disaster due to the Kuroshio Current, and you even mistakenly believe that all the scholars have been wiped out."

"But you are very wrong. The wise men had already managed to evacuate the vast majority of people before the Black Tide arrived."

"They are currently on their way to the holy city of Ohmma."

"Only a small number of scholars stayed with me to defend the tree garden."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the flame of Serhis should arrive in Ohma at the same time soon..."

Chapter 1277: Awakening with Love?

"...But since you have all read this message, it means that an accident has already occurred."

"Now, proceed to the Throne of Enlightenment—to retrieve the embers and our remains."

"Now that the project is complete, that's all I have to say."

Then, the projection slowly disappeared.

"What did you two see?" Xia Die asked Yan Huan and Mi Mi.

"Huh?" Yan Huan turned around. "Can't you see?"

“It seems that only those with the relevant abilities can see it,” Xia Die shook her head.

Seeing this, Yan Huan relayed what Xia had just said to her.

After listening, Xia Die felt that the amount of information was quite overwhelming.

"Let me calm down... I don't know how to organize this information for the moment."

"Most of the people here seem to have been evacuated." Yan Huan looked around.

"At least the losses weren't that severe."

"Yes." Xia Die nodded. "This is the only good news so far."

"Now that things have come to this, let's focus on recovering the embers."
