Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"At least... that way there won't be any regrets, right?"

"Hmph." At that moment, Xia trembled as she pulled a bottle of aloe vera juice from her bosom and gulped it down.

Tons tons tons~

After finishing the entire bottle, he wiped his mouth and looked at the narrow staircase ahead.

"I hope they're not lying to me, this sap really does alleviate the poisoning..."

"At the very least, we must hold on until today."

Serhith asked:

"Since time is so tight, why are you standing still? Have you fallen back into your habit of fearing crowds?"

"I just find it too noisy," Xia said dismissively.

"It's a waste of my time to even glance at that stupid and arrogant idiot."

"That's really heartless," Sersis said, somewhat speechless.

"In my opinion, your arrogance is just as high as theirs."

Xia nodded at that moment, "I wholeheartedly agree with that."

“Oh?” Sersis raised an eyebrow:

"This reaction is truly unexpected. You're not even going to refute me?"

"Do you think I don't know myself?" Xia said calmly. "I know myself better than you, the [tenant]."

Sersis shook her head helplessly, "Truly, a dying man's words are often ill-chosen..."

"But that's precisely why I chose you, isn't it?"

"So, the time for the test has come. How do you intend to prove my point?"

At that moment, Xia glanced at Serhith.

"Now that we've come this far... do you remember where I left off last time?"

Serhith recalled, “You claimed: the history of Onphalus is a cycle.”

Chapter 1387 I Have Something to Say!

“That’s right.” Looking at the members of parliament who were brushing past him on their way to the council, Xia said in a deep voice:

"The demigod who bears the flame will become the new Titan at the ends of the world..."

Do you remember what you saw and heard on the sacred mountain?

"Calypso, Gnaeus... at the end of those heroes' fates, they departed one after another, leaving only the twins to take their place in death."

"Unfortunately, even if their journey is very similar to ours, and even with you and Calypso, Nicardo and Gnaeus as witnesses, it can only outline a blueprint for the conjecture of [reincarnation]."

Xia frowned slightly at that moment.

"Although it has been a long and arduous journey to get to this point, I had no expectations of proving it."

"After all, the past is the past. To try and prove that we are the successors of the heroes of yesteryear is nothing but a pipe dream..."

“Until…we met the girl named Polycia and her sister.”

After taking out his pocket watch and glancing at the time, Xia Fazi's face remained calm.

"Xia Die—if she truly is a being sent from the past to the present by the Titans out of selfish motives—"

"Then, with Stikosia as the node, having personally experienced two cycles, she will surely become the link connecting everything."

"If the twins of [death] can transcend two lifetimes and reunite at the edge of the underworld—my conjecture will no longer be mere speculation, and your question will be answered."

“That’s great,” Cecilia smiled.

"But how can you be so certain?"

"If this guess is wrong, wouldn't the girl be disappointed and leave?"

"Hmph, so what if I'm wrong?" Xia said disdainfully.

"The most important quality for a scholar is recklessness without thinking."

"If you are always cautious and never dare to take the first step, then no change will ever happen."

"Moreover, I, Anaxagoras, am destined to overturn this illogical world."

He looked at the long staircase, now filled with pedestrians, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, let's teach those poor bastards one last lesson."

Upon arriving at the venue, the audience seats were already full.

The debater on Aglaia's side was a man who looked somewhat familiar.

"Bai E... the final debate is going to him."

Provoked by Katniss's words, the citizens in the entire hall immediately erupted in excitement.

"Let them hear it—the Golden Blood who waged a brutal war!"

"Let them hear the voice of the people!"

"Ohhhhhh—!!"

In the stands, citizens clenched their fists and shouted.

"Damn Golden Blood, get out of Ohmma!"

"Liars, a bunch of liars!"

"Hehe, it's so beautiful! I've made a mistake regarding Lady Katniss!"

"Please, with your size 42 feet and calloused skin, stomp hard on my chest!"

"Mmm...ahhhhhh~~"

"..."

Looking at the frenzied crowd, Xia frowned slightly. "That woman is still as good as ever at stirring up people's hearts."

“Na Ke Xia… Teacher?” As a debater from Aglaia’s side, Bai E looked at Na Ke Xia as she approached and sighed:

"I thought you weren't planning to show up."

"We still have to cast our votes," Xia said seriously. "Otherwise, wouldn't this conference be meaningless?"

Bai E was deeply troubled by this statement. "Teacher, do you really think... it's the right thing to entrust the fate of the world to a grand conference?"

Xia glanced at Bai E at that moment.

“The fact that Ohmma has stood firm under this system for a thousand years naturally proves the legitimacy of its existence.”

"But I think that's not what you want to ask."

"What truly confuses you is... whether it was the right decision for Aglaia to entrust you with the opportunity to decide the fate of the world."

Upon hearing this, Bai E said helplessly:

"Teacher, you really hit the nail on the head."

At that moment, Xia spoke eloquently:

"After all, I've been teaching you for so long, while others graduate in four years at most."

“Uh… haha.” Bai’er looked embarrassed. “To be honest, I feel like I’m going to the execution ground rather than a speech.”

So, the answer is...?

At that moment, Xia turned around and walked towards Katniss, saying, "I can't answer that question for you."

"Because this problem has absolutely nothing to do with you."

After thinking for a moment, he stopped and turned back to Bai E, saying:

"[Is it right for Aglaia to entrust the opportunity to you]? Don't make me laugh, isn't that woman's own problem?"

"Why do you consider these things for her? Or have you always seen yourself as her tool?"

"Listen carefully, turn your thinking around."

Xia's expression was serious at that moment.

"'How should I decide the fate of the world to make the right choice?' — That's what you should really be thinking about."

"There's still time. Think carefully about how you'll answer, and don't tell me... go tell those who are praying to the gods for salvation."

"That nameless guest is in Stikosia and won't have time to come and help you turn things around."

"If you really want to be a hero, you have to put yourself in the people's shoes and think about what it would take to convince them."

Upon hearing this, Bai E seemed to be deep in thought.

"Um……"

"Thank you, Ms. Xia."

"So... which side will you vote for?"

"..." At that moment, Xia crossed her arms and continued walking back towards Katniss.

"Judging from your performance...may Serhith defend your ideas."

The elder's soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Xia approaching, they quickly went forward to greet him.

"Lord Xia, you've arrived!"

"Lady Katniss has reserved a VIP seat for you. Would you like to take a seat now?"

"Lead the way." Xia said expressionlessly at that moment.

As soon as Xia Yukenis took her seat, the audience began to murmur amongst themselves.

Some say that Xia betrayed the Golden Clan and was a beast.

Some say that Xia Ke realized the times and abandoned darkness for light.
