Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"No, don't come any closer...!"

"?"

"There are still people here."

Following the sound, they found yet another male ghost.

"What's your name?" Yan Huan asked.

"Ah, my name is... wait, who are you?!"

When the man saw Yan Huan and Xia Die approaching, he immediately said seriously:

"Although this place was once a royal treasury, it has long been looted. Please go back as soon as possible."

"You've misunderstood," Xia Die explained calmly.

"We just heard your shout as we were passing by, so we came to check it out."

"Huh? Did I really yell that loudly?" The man was taken aback, then said guiltily:

"I'm so sorry for my rudeness..."

"Thank you all for your concern. I only encountered a... warrior. The ghost did not harm me, but his powerful punches... were truly astonishing."

"Warrior?" Yan Huan raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that you saw Wan Di?"

"Who is Wan Di?" The man looked completely bewildered.

"Wait... Holy crap!"

He abruptly stepped back, looking at the two of them with terrified eyes.

"Are you alive? How could you possibly be alive and walking here? Am I seeing a ghost?"

"I think you're the one who looks like a ghost..." Yan Huan was speechless.

However, this is the second ghost to realize that it is not a living person.

“We have come to see Senatos,” Xia Die explained.

“Cenathos? What is that?” the man asked, even more puzzled.

"Wait...are you here to slay the evil dragon Polycheth?"

"What Polycrys?" Yan Huan didn't quite hear clearly.

He had heard of Polycia before; she was a death demigod from the previous cycle, and was suspected to be Xia Die's sister.

The man said in a deep voice:

"According to the centurion and his warriors, the dragon is long dead, and the deadly curse did not originate from it..."

"And in the dragon's arms, they saw a young girl...she was the true Grim Reaper!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Yan Huan couldn't help but look at Xia Die.

It is known that in her previous life, Polycia's older sister sacrificed herself so that her younger sister could inherit the position of the Death Titan.

And Calypso, also known as Serhis, taught her the resurrection spell...

After she ascended to godhood, the girl she held in her arms was most likely her older sister.

The man continued:

"Rumor has it that the Queen brought her back to the castle at any cost, intending to use this unprecedented power to bring all of Onpharos under her control."

"As for whether it's true or not... no one knows."

Xia Die nodded slowly, then raised her hand.

"Your insights are invaluable, and I am deeply grateful."

Please consider this touch as a token of my gratitude.

"?" Sensing the presence of [death], the man's pupils widened suddenly.

"You...you are...!"

The moment the butterfly touched him, the man's soul vanished into nothingness.

Then, a dark purple memory sphere was revealed.

"The drop rate is pretty high." Yan Huan stepped forward to examine it, and under Xia Die's touch, the memory orb generated several more phantom images.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another butterfly among them.

An elderly woman dressed in fine clothes said to Xia Die:

"So, you brought death to him?"

"This isn't like you... Even if I gave you the order, you should have refused."

“I…don’t know.” Xia Die shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

"I started out of compassion, thinking I wouldn't be too distressed by it. But now I'm still... completely distraught."

"Sympathy?" The old woman frowned.

"Sympathize with that invincible young man?"

“Hmm,” Xia Die explained.

"That young man was blessed by Tarranton and learned a [Secret Sword] technique from the gods. With this, he can defeat his enemies with a single blow and never be defeated."

“In the Golden Age, he could win every game with this skill.”

"But now, death has come to the world, and that divinely bestowed secret sword also allows him to kill at will, in other words..."

Upon hearing this, the old woman asked, "You think... he looks somewhat like you?"

"Yes." Xia Die did not deny it.

"He is never inferior in skill; whenever he makes a move, his opponent is sure to die."

"So he came to me and begged me... to end it all."

After listening to Xia Die's story, the old woman thought for a moment and finally came to a conclusion.

"Perhaps it is because the reconciliation with [death] came too suddenly that you feel helpless."

“I…have not found a reconciliation,” Xia Die denied.

"I have seen with my own eyes the people of Adriatic who stood tall in the face of death."

"Before the inevitable end came... they were content with everything their lives had already written."

"Their expressions were so proud that I thought... if [death] were truly just an unintentional act of authority bestowed by some god, it would be an insult to their dignity..."

Yan Huan raised an eyebrow: "I have a few fruits here that I think you might really need."

Xiadie: “?”

Chapter 1378 You don't have to be so loud

the other side.

Inside the city of Ohma.

Since Yan Huan and Xia Die went to Stikosia carrying the hopes of both the Senate faction and the Golden Clan faction, the rest of the people had no choice but to wait.

Inside the room, Bai E was fast asleep.

The bright sunlight shone on his cheeks, but it still couldn't wake him up.

……

It was a bright classroom.

"Wake up, you idiot."

At that moment, Xia stood on the podium, looking at the white-haired boy in the back row by the window, who was fast asleep, and felt very disappointed in him.

"Hmph, rotten wood can't be carved!"

A blackboard eraser was thrown, about to hit Bai Er on the head.

'Splat—'

All the students turned to look in Bai E's direction, but the scene they had expected did not appear.

The white-haired boy grabbed the blackboard eraser with one hand, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a flourish:

"Teacher, you don't have to shout so loudly when you call me."

"Oh? Not bad." At that moment, Xia stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Bai E indifferently.

He spent a lot of time giving this student extra tutoring, but unfortunately, his grades were still not ideal.

"Then let me test you. Do you know what [reincarnation] is?"

"Reincarnation?" Bai E was stunned when he heard this.

If I remember correctly, we should be in math class right now.

Is reincarnation a function? Or some kind of formula...?

"Hmph, you're not paying attention in class again."

At that moment Xia said disdainfully:

"A student like you should just stay in the tree garden and sweep leaves from now on."

When the school bell rang, Xia glanced at the students and slowly walked out.

"Brother, you're really awesome." Wan Di, who was sitting to the side, stood up, walked over to Bai E, and patted him on the shoulder.

"He was asleep and still managed to catch the blackboard eraser. I could tell the teacher was quite startled."

"Just basic stuff~" Bai E waved his hand smugly.

"To be honest, I just had a dream."

"I dreamt that a disaster called the Black Tide appeared in this world, and I was chosen to become a warrior with golden blood to fight against the monsters."
