Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“Let me put it this way…” Xia Die looked at Dan Heng.

"Lady Tibo embarked on a journey to fight the Black Tide, and from the beginning of the journey to the thousands of cities she passed through, she had never encountered such a powerful enemy in the Black Tide."

"I think that perhaps the fall of [Conflict] has secretly stirred up even more terrifying effects..."

“I sensed a strong aura of death about him—not because it had anything to do with Cenarius, but perhaps… simply because it had held the death of others in its hands countless times.”

"Just because?" Dan Heng raised an eyebrow.

"Please don't make such pointless jokes, Lord Danheng," Xia Die said earnestly.

“Speaking of Cenatos… there is another matter I need to discuss with you.”

"You should be aware of the curse I bear."

"I was born to be the shadow of death, a deadly poison that all living things avoid."

"But when Lord Yan Huan touched me..."

“I understand what you mean.” Dan Heng’s gaze was calm.

"When you restrain him at the core of the cosmos, unleashing your power without restraint can still damage the soul steel on his body."

"But if you have no intention of attacking, the residual power you carry will be bad news for ordinary people, but it will have no effect on him."

"If you're willing to communicate with him more, as your companion, I won't object."

“Miss Xia Die, I understand that you don’t intend to spy on him…”

Dan Heng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

But he still said:

"But his sexual orientation is becoming increasingly bizarre."

Xia Die blinked. "Is he not interested in girls?"

"No, he has no interest in humans now."

Chapter 1290 Who told you to throw it

At the same time, a giant shadow pushed open the palace door and staggered in.

Hearing the commotion, Danheng and Xiadie couldn't help but look up towards the entrance of the Bathing Palace.

"Good morning, Gou Shun." Dan Heng said calmly.

The Earth Beast nodded slightly, scratched its rear end with its paw, and then its gaze fell on Xia Die.

“Goushun…” Xia Die stared at the enormous body, only then remembering that Yan Huan’s pet was still here.

As an Earth Beast, Gou Shun stands out among the Earth Beast race because he walks on two legs like a human.

Gou Shun took out a small notice board, wrote and drew on it with a pen, and then showed it to the two of them.

What are you doing?

It's hard to imagine that this earth beast can read and even write.

Looking at the simplified Chinese characters, Dan Heng couldn't help but think more highly of Gou Shun.

Its learning ability seems to be very strong.

"I was organizing my logs just now, and I also got some research data on the Tree Garden from the Golden Descendant," Dan Heng replied.

Upon hearing this, Gou Shun scratched his head and then scribbled on the small notice board, "New King of Conflict, have you completed your trial?"

"No." Dan Heng's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"This is also what worries us the most right now."

Once Wan Di gains control of the conflict, humanity's strength will increase significantly, and the spread of the Black Tide will be curbed.

However, he himself still had some reservations.

In this situation, urging Wan Di would be of no use. If one cannot face the trial in a fully prepared state, one will only get lost in the illusion like Bai E.

Xia Die glanced at Gou Shun, then at Dan Heng, finding it hard to believe that a human could actually chat with an earth beast.

Even Dan Heng acted so naturally, as if it wasn't strange at all.

"Lord Danheng...have you ever dealt with many non-human animals?" Xia Die couldn't help but ask.

“Not just animals.” Dan Heng said calmly.

"Ghosts, machines... we will encounter all kinds of life on our journey of exploration."

"Now that Gou Shun lives here, he should rightfully be one of us."

"I understand," Xia Die said thoughtfully.

At first, the Golden Descendant and the Nameless Guest were wary of each other, but now their relationship has become more amicable.

Danheng and Yan Huan accepted the Earth Beasts much faster than they accepted the Golden Descendants.

"After the incident at Shuting, there will definitely be several more upheavals ahead," Danheng suggested to Xiadie.

"Miss Xia Die, you look very tired. You should rest more."

"Mm." Xia Die nodded slightly, then glanced at Yan Huan's bed before taking her leave.

Dan Heng watched Xia Die's retreating figure with a completely unmoved expression.

After Yan Huan left, Xia Die naturally went to rest in her original room.

Only Danheng and Gou Shun remained in the bathing palace.

As a new member, Gou Shun naturally belongs to the side of Wumingke.

"I want to go out and play." Gou Shun wrote on the notice board.

“Of course, you are free.” Dan Heng nodded.

Although Gou Shun already belongs to Wumingke, there's really nothing for him to do here.

After all... who can expect a mere earth beast to do anything?

As long as you eat your fill and sleep well, and sleep well and eat your fill, you can let people touch you whenever they want.

"However, try not to leave the Cloud Stone Palace. Things haven't been peaceful in the city lately," Dan Heng advised.

"The news of the fall of Tree Court must have reached the ears of the Elders by now, even if Lady Aglaia intended to keep it under wraps."

When Xia returned to Ohma earlier, she contacted the families of the fallen soldiers without keeping it a secret.

Danheng hadn't seen Aglaia for a while; she was probably overwhelmed with work right now.

"I understand." Gou Shun held up the sign with a serious expression.

'I'm so bored...'

'I can fight.'

Dan Heng shook his head, "Gou Shun... you'd better prioritize your own safety."

"You don't need to make any outstanding contributions; just leave the dangerous tasks to us."

Previously, Gou Shun's job was to carry people and supplies.

Since bringing it to the bathhouse, the dog has conveniently fallen into a slower pace of life.

As it is the pet of the city's defending hero and the main force in the battle against the nameless stranger, servants come every day to wash it and feed it its favorite snacks.

As the ultimate winner among the Earth Beasts, Gou Shun should have no other desires now.

"I want to participate in the Trial of Conflict," Dog Shun said, holding up a sign.

"?" Dan Heng raised an eyebrow.

What can a mere earth beast understand [conflict]?

A servant had previously reported that Gou Shun had become increasingly strange ever since he arrived at Yunshi Tiangong…

Allowing the dog to participate in dangerous activities was the anonymous visitor's negligence.

"Alright...you really should go out for a walk."

"You may leave the Marble Palace, but please stay away from the people in the Senate."

Although Danheng really wanted to go out for a walk with the dog, he still had some documents to organize.

If Gou Shun were truly that intelligent, he should know that he couldn't contact the people in the Senate.

Their conflict with the Golden Clan is entirely detrimental to Onfaros.

Thinking about human civil war in the face of the apocalypse is really unwise.

The Nameless Ones' goal is to save the planet, not to have one side attack the other and help them seize meaningless power during a catastrophe.

If things really come to the worst, and the Senate and the Golden Clan are at loggerheads, then we'll have no choice but to follow the example set in Pinocchio...

Suppress both sides by force and temporarily take over.

……

Ten minutes later.

The hunched, enormous figure stared at the gate leading out of the Cloud Stone Palace, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not leave.

Gou Shun held up the sign, 'Never mind, I'll just take a bath instead.'

"Who is this earth beast holding up the sign for?" an old man next to me asked.

"I don't know, I guess he was too tired from work and went crazy."

"Sigh, these days, it's not easy for either humans or the beasts of the earth..."

A noisy commotion could be heard from the hot bath.

"A pathetic savior, nothing more than that."

Wan Di stood with his arms crossed, staring at Bai E, who had collapsed and fainted, with a look of utter disdain.

"What are you doing?" Gou Shun asked, holding up a sign.
