Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"With the nameless guest's abilities, perhaps your past memories can be erased."

"In this way, you might be able to pass the trial."

“No,” Bai’er shook her head, “I don’t want to forget…”

Chapter 1292 You are not in a good situation either

"And what about you, Wan Di?"

Bai E looked at Wan Di and asked curiously:

What did you see in that trial... and what were your fears?

As the highly anticipated successor to the conflict, Wan Di's current concerns are of paramount importance to the entire Onphalus.

This concerns the birth of a demigod.

"First, I must correct you on one point: the word 'fear' does not exist in the dictionary of those who are on the edge of the mountain," Wan Di emphasized.

"Ha, so your dictionary doesn't even have any words?"

"Hmph." Wan Di continued:

“I saw Ohmma in the trial, and…”

"My former comrades-in-arms."

He raised his head and looked up at the ever-bright sky.

“Hephaestus, Perdiccas, Leon, Ptolemy, and Posetta…these five have been my constant companions since I returned from the Sea of ​​the Dead.”

"During my years of exile, they lived and died with me."

"Those ten years were filled with ups and downs, but they are also worth remembering."

“Every night, we would sit around the campfire, drink honey wine, and sing our hearts out…”

His expression grew increasingly melancholy.

"The winds of Onphalus have the smell of rust, and Hephaestus always laughs at me for drinking honey with goat's milk, saying that it makes the bright red color of blood look like a strange mix."

"He was thin and small, but he was incredibly fierce on the battlefield, killing enemies without hesitation."

“Padiccus is an expert in medicine making, specializing in all sorts of unorthodox remedies and strange medicines; Leon is a good runner and is the most trusted follower.”

“Ptolemy always loved to nitpick over words. When he left Xuanfeng, he took a lot of ancient books from the Great Library—they all belonged to my family, so I didn’t have to return them.”

"As for Poseidon, well... he's not much of a talker, but he plays the violin beautifully."

As Wan Di recounted their story, Bai E fell silent.

These five warriors, like Ai Li Mi Xie's family and friends, have probably disappeared.

Wan Di said in a deep voice:

"They have already died in battle."

"First was Padiccas, who died in the second month of cultivation, shot in the abdomen by a poisoned arrow from the Ladonians. His remedy could save everyone, but it couldn't save himself."

"Leon died in his fifth winter, when the blizzards in Auderia lasted for three whole months."

"On the night with the heaviest snowstorm, the enemy launched an attack."

Upon hearing this, Bai E snapped out of his daze. "Aidiria...is the city-state where Xia Die used to live?"

“Yes.” Wan Di nodded.

"It's those fanatics. They are as fearless as those who are about to die, but they lack any sense of awe for honor."

"They pursued him relentlessly through the bottomless swamp, and Leon, covering their retreat, had both his legs severed. He vanished into the mud of a foreign land, his remains never seen again..."

Wan Di quietly recounted the past, his face expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him, but the days he remembered were incredibly clear.

"On the twentieth evening after that, we finally launched a counterattack and entered the city of Aedria, accepting the tyrant's pleas for peace, but the stubborn rebels had laid an ambush in the city..."

"Ptolemy and his cavalry were wiped out before they could even savor their victory, and the burning and collapsing obelisks became their graves..."

"Then came Poseidon, who lured the enemy deep into the city of Eneonus with his songs, buying us precious time."

At this point, Wan Di looked at Bai E.

"Enraged, the enemy set fire to our city, burning our army and the entire city to the ground... His last words were left on a small piece of clay tablet cracked by the fire."

"Finally, Hephaestus, whom I trusted most... He was supposed to be with me to witness the dust settle, but his old illness relapsed on the eve of my duel with my father."

"He concealed his illness, and by the time I returned victorious after personally killing my enemy, he was already on his last breath."

Listening to Wan Di's past, Bai E sighed:

"What a... heavy trial."

"Now I understand why you viewed immortality as a flaw, or even a curse."

Compared to Aglaia's loss of emotion, or the side effects of Lady Tirispyos, Wan Di's immortality doesn't seem like a flaw to outsiders.

If this is considered a flaw, then most people would want such a flaw.

Wan Di said in a deep voice:

"The late king cast me into the sea of ​​the underworld to sever my past karma, but he did not expect that this would create my immortal body and bring him the revenge of fate."

"After his death, I had thought of leading my people back to their homeland."

"But by then, Suspended Peak was a desolate wasteland, where only darkness and madness grew."

“Despite the opposition from many people, including Kratrus, I left the Lone Vanguard in Ohma.”

"But I understand that their glory can never be erased... The time for conflict will eventually come."

So, we've come full circle back to the very beginning.

Bai'er said seriously, "Once you take over the divine authority of Nicardoli, you must embark on a journey home."

“…I haven’t decided yet.” Wan Di sighed.

"Perhaps because I was not crowned king, those five were never officially recognized...and no one knows of their glory."

Upon hearing this, Bai E also felt a little melancholy.

"...Your situation is really complicated."

"I can hardly offer any useful advice. Perhaps... you could talk to more people, such as the master craftsman."

"Hattonus's people must have experienced similar predicaments."

"And your teacher, Kratrus..."

Just as the two were talking, a shout suddenly came from the side.

"Small enemy—something's really bad, really bad!"

Tibo rushed to the two of them, panting heavily.

Upon hearing this, the earth beast that was resting nearby straightened its chest and looked up at the three of them with curiosity.

"Teacher Tibao, what happened? What's making you so panicked?"

"Quickly, save her! Tining, Tining, she..."

"—They've been kidnapped by Kratrus!"

"???"

……

A few minutes later.

The vortex of creation.

"...Craterus, what's going on?!" Wan Di stepped forward and roared at the surrounded Craterus.

“Ah, Medemos…”

Upon seeing Wan Di, Kratos clutched his injured arm:

"Unexpectedly, I was the one who exposed my weakness first."

Seeing this, Wan Di immediately looked at Aglaia, who was standing to the side, and said, "Aglaia! Give me an explanation."

Seeing his agitation, Aglaia calmly said:

"This man forcibly took Tining hostage and forced her to bring him to the center of the cosmic vortex."

"Then, he actually dared to step into the trial of the Spear of Divine Retribution... Of course, it ended in failure."

"If it weren't for Mr. Danheng's timely rescue, this man might never have come back."

Seeing this, Dan Heng, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly.

"It's good that everyone is alright."

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dan Heng slowly left the center of the cosmic vortex.

This is a contradiction in the suspense, and as outsiders, we shouldn't get too involved.

"..."

After Danheng left, Wan Di angrily questioned Kratrus:

"Is what they're saying true? Why would you do this?!"

Chapter 1293 Please Don’t Interrupt Me

"Because I don't want to wait any longer; your hesitation is agonizing."

Clatrus dragged his weary body and looked at his enemies with pity.

"If you wish to escape your destiny of becoming king, then run away. Someone will always step forward to fill the void left by the conflict and lead my people back home."
