Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“Of course it’s my last words. As for an inheritance, there is none.” Xia looked at Yan Huan at that moment.

"As I expected, it seems you are missing one person."

Aglaia also looked at them, "Among those traveling with you, it seems that Xia Die is not present."

"Oh, she left a last message too." Yan Huan pulled out the [Death] ember:

"Do we still want this spark?"

"No, throw it away." Xia said expressionlessly. "I'd be happy to see this woman's plan completely fail."

“Then when I arrive in the Underworld, I must thank you properly.” Aglaia glanced at Naksha.

Xia: "Of course."

Then, the blonde woman looked at Tining and Yan Huan.

“My master, please recite the divine oracle for us. Yan Huan, please also offer us that burning ember.”

Aglaia sincerely said:

"You are the only life she has been able to freely touch while walking on the earth for thousands of years."

“I think… no one is more worthy to perform this noble duty than you.”

"It's just throwing a spark, why make it sound so grand?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan grabbed the fire and prepared to throw it at the water basin offering vessel in the distance.

"Hey, wait, wait..." Bai E quickly stopped him:

"It's still over fifty meters away. Can't we get closer and gently place it into the basin with both hands?"

“It’s not like I can’t throw accurately.” Yan Huan glanced at Bai E in surprise. “In my current condition, I could throw it in even if it was 5,000 meters.”

"No, no, no, I'm not questioning your accuracy..." Bai E said helplessly.

"What I mean is, this is the heart of the cosmic vortex, a solemn and sacred place."

"We should submit the torch, shouldn't we? It has to be fitting for the occasion?"

"Teacher Tinning has already prepared a speech, and you're just throwing it in like that? That's too presumptuous of you."

"..."

"you are annoying."

Yan Huan, clutching the embers, reluctantly walked toward the water basin and sacrificial vessels.

At the same time, Tinin solemnly recited:

"Behold, the gods who have returned, or those who are still gazing into the distance!"

"Today, we bring you this exposed soul."

"The Hand of Ash, Cenatos, has remembered its former name."

“It comes from the daytime, and here it enters your ranks, returning to its fragrant abode.”

She looked at Yan Huan's back again.

"And accompanying that Titan was a traveler who descended from the heavens and was reborn on earth."

He is the night that counts the years, proclaiming with his upright name—

"[The majestic twelve Titans, the pillars supporting the world—]"

"[We seek divinity here to mend the cracks in the world—]"

"[To infuse the flesh with golden blood, to willingly wither and dry up for divine decree...]"

"Lord Yan Huan, please come over here and join us in offering the flame, so that we may carve stars into the sky for it."

"Splash—" The fire was thrown up at close range, falling into the water from high above, splashing up a large ripple and soaking Tining to the bone.

Tinin: "..."

However, the star representing the Dark Hand did indeed light up, and the spark was perfectly submitted.

Bai E looked up at the illuminated star and sighed:

"This is the constellation of death..."

Nakasha added, "To be precise... it's death and life."

“Is that so…” Bai E seemed to be thinking.

"Wait, look, what's that...?"

In front of the water basin offering vessel, a phantom slowly emerged, which was the appearance of Xia Die.

"That's...Xia Die?" Dan Heng raised an eyebrow.

“No,” Xia denied at that moment, “It’s just an echo of divinity…she came for the trial?”

The illusory butterfly walked up to Yan Huan and started chattering incomprehensibly.

He then bowed and disappeared.

"?" Yan Huan turned around and asked the others:

"What is she babbling about?"

"Huh? So you can't understand?" Bai E was shocked. "Brother Yan Huan, aren't you already a demigod? That shadow just now must have been speaking Titan language."

"What's wrong?" Yan Huan frowned.

"This demigod's prestige isn't even as high as the mechs I used to pilot. Besides, I didn't mutate, so why should I be able to understand..."

The only one present with any semblance of competence, Tining, slowly explained:

She said: "[The cold shadow of death has been illuminated by me.]"

"[Let's go, for the road ahead will be bright, and a flame that burns eternally.]"

"[Don't forget...]"

After finishing the translation, Yan Huan was completely baffled.

Make it so formal...

"Alright, it's my turn now." Xia crossed her arms and glanced at the crowd.

Chapter 1395: Leaving early is worse than leaving late

"Finish the execution as soon as possible—lest the sacred laws of Ohma be disgraced, and my creation of a new world be delayed," Naksha urged.

"Teacher, are you in such a hurry?" Bai E asked, his eyes wide.

"I don't quite understand. If your theory is true, then you, as a Titan, should have no memory of your past life... So what's the point of becoming a god?"

"Of course," Xia corrected at that moment.

"Even if I forget who I am, I will still be extremely intelligent."

"Do you think I'm that useless guy, Sersis? I don't know what the Titans were thinking in their previous lives, passing the position to someone like that..."

"At least for me, regaining my past life memories is a piece of cake."

"Besides...don't I still have you?"

In the new world, Behe ​​will reshape everything as Cephall, and will most likely retain his memories.

If Xia really forgot at that moment, wouldn't it be fine if Bai E shared the memory then?

“This…” Bai E still had some reservations.

"Teacher, I still haven't been able to process what you said at the Citizens' Assembly."

"Even if it's real... things reconstructed from memory can't be equated with the original painting, can they..."

Xia remained expressionless at that moment. "I'm telling you now, you're wrong."

"And the nameless guests over there, you've also begun to doubt [Recreation], haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng thought for a moment and then asked:

"As Bai E said, after being resurrected in the next life, will 'we' still be 'us'?"

"Is Cecis the same as Calypso, and Nicardoli the same as Gnaeus?"

"Or... are they actually new people created by Kefaller, replacements?"

Upon hearing this, Xia seemed to have expected it.

He answered carefully:

"What exactly are 'we'? I say, the Golden Blood are the future Titans, and vice versa, but this answer clearly only applies to us."

"And what about ordinary people? What exactly is 'we' to them?"

"Will Calypso, Gnaeus, and the others still exist in the next life?"

"The essence of the world—the soul—is like tiny, invisible seeds that record a person's partial memory of the world itself."

“And ‘we’ are the green sprouts that emerge from the seeds and grow into towering trees.”

At this moment, Bai E seemed to understand something, "This is the meaning of [Intelligent Seed]?"

“Not bad.” Xia nodded at that moment.

"When our bodies are born, they become a new extension of the world."

"Thus, our seeds are sown in someone's memory and will spread to countless hearts in the future."

"Just as seeds are affected by their environment, our appearance will also differ in many memories."

"But the part we bear will remain unchanged, because that is the nature of the world itself."

"To eliminate our existence, the world itself must be destroyed."

"However, there will always be one person who will live on with his perfect memories..."

At that moment, Xia looked intently at Bai E.
