Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Only by abandoning the faith in the Golden Blood! Only by distancing ourselves from those golden bloodlines that bring calamity! Only by returning to the most primal reverence, and by praying and repenting to the true, untainted Titans! Only then can this anger be quelled, and only then can true salvation be attained!"

"The Titans created us, created the world, yet the Golden Blood killed them!"

"This was the wrong path. All twelve Titans have fallen. Calamity and curse are our punishment!"

His words were like a cold incantation, making the crowd gathered around him even paler, and the wavering and fear in their eyes spread like a plague.

Chapter 1483 I knew it was you guys

Some who were originally staunch supporters of the Golden Race have now fallen silent, their hearts wavering.

The Titans have always been the object of faith for the Son of Man.

But the Golden Descendants, following divine decree, personally killed these great beings one by one.

The sudden outbreak of the epidemic has further bolstered the persuasiveness of these opposition voices.

Feng Jin's heart sank to the bottom.

Panic erupted like a boulder thrown into calm water, instantly spreading through the crowd.

Feng Jin stood still, her grip on the staff tightening slightly, rainbow light swirling around her.

She looked at the panicked crowd, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed her chaotic thoughts. Right now, the priority was to calm people down.

"...Please believe in us!"

The voice of the wind violet was imbued with divine power, like warm sunlight piercing through the gloom:

"In the name of the Son of the Sky, I hereby swear that I will find out the truth about the epidemic and restore a peaceful life for everyone."

"The Golden Blood will always be the guardians of Ohma. Please believe this."

Her voice and the light from her staff temporarily stabilized the situation, but the fear and doubt that lingered in the eyes of the crowd remained.

……

"You mean, that disease is related to the Kuroshio Current?" Dan Heng slowly stood up, placed the wrench on the table, and said to Feng Jin:

"Unexpectedly, the most troublesome ones aren't the Titans and the Firebringers..."

Onfaros's situation was far from good enough to allow for frequent internal strife.

Based on Feng Jin's description, Dan Heng immediately had an idea.

The most important thing in Ohmma right now is to appease the people.

First, we must find out the source of this epidemic. Second, we must completely eradicate Katniss's faction to prevent them from making a comeback.

"..." Dan Heng felt a headache coming on.

The elders of the opposition were not as powerful as Titans or Firebringers, but each time they caused trouble, it was enough to cripple the Golden Blood.

The last citizen assembly almost abruptly halted the fire-chasing journey.

This time, taking advantage of the epidemic, they once again spread panic among the people, causing chaos in the holy city.

In Dan Heng's view, citizens do have some ability to discern, but there are not many such people.

Most people are like willow catkins drifting in the wind; they sway in whichever direction the wind blows.

In particular, the panic and anxiety caused by the illness make them urgently need an outlet for their negative emotions.

Those opposition figures posing as missionaries used this opportunity to put the Golden Generation in the spotlight.

"I still need to discuss the spaceship with the priests; I'll leave that to Bai'e."

Dan Heng said calmly:

“I have a feeling that this disease is not unrelated to Katniss’s faction.”

"As for divine punishment..."

"If Onphalus truly existed, how could he have stooped to tormenting the common people?"

"If the Golden Clan's actions are truly wrong, then it is we who should be punished."

After hearing Danheng's opinion, Feng Jin suddenly understood.

"That's right, Danbao, you see things very clearly!"

"Then you go ahead with your work, I'll go see Mr. Clatterus."

At the Place de la Cefal, Kazemura found Clatterus.

At that moment, he was holding a meeting with his guards.

"Did you all understand? If you find those missionaries, purgers, or opposition elders again, you must arrest them as quickly as possible."

"Also, try not to be so rude in front of the public, so as not to give others cause for gossip again."

"understand!"

After dismissing the guards, Clatrus sighed deeply.

He glanced at Feng Jin, who was waiting quietly to the side:

"Miss Feng Jin, you must have something important to tell me, right?"

"Yes." Feng Jin nodded, her expression serious.

"Danbao said that the epidemic might be related to Katniss's faction."

"It's very likely that this is some kind of secret technique, specifically effective against mortals."

"What?" Kratrus took a deep breath and said angrily:

"So, in other words, they're poisoning the people while simultaneously shifting their suffering onto us?!"

"Damn it! We should have had Lord Yan Huan turn them all into mindless puppets back then!"

"Miss Feng Jin, please rest assured, Lord Bai E and I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"I need your help during this time to provide timely treatment for the public and reduce panic."

“Yes, I understand.” Feng Jin nodded slightly.

She felt somewhat fortunate, because without the divine power of the Sky Demigod, she would never have been able to perform such a large amount of healing every day.

"It's all worth it as long as it can help."

From then on, the heroes of Ohma each performed their duties.

Danheng led a group of priests to begin research on the spaceship.

Feng Jin often resides in the dimly lit courtyard, promptly treating those who have been poisoned.

Bai E, on the other hand, shoulders the heavy responsibility of uncovering the truth.

At the Earth Beast Workshop, Bai E, dressed in coarse work clothes, disguised himself as a zookeeper and quietly mingled among the crowd.

"Sigh... Brother Danheng should be better at reconnaissance than I am."

Bai E sighed, lightly patted his coarse cloth clothes stained with red soil, and looked around.

There was no other way; he didn't understand technology, so Dan Heng had to be the one to build the spaceship.

A group of people had gathered not far away, and their heated argument caught Bai E's attention.

"Have you heard? More than a dozen people have collapsed in the East District! The way they looked... tsk tsk, it was terrifying, their skin was all rotting!"

"That's right! Although Lady Feng Jin can cure it, who knows when it will relapse next? I heard that even she is exhausted."

"Sigh, when will this ever end... Didn't the Golden Clan leaders repel the Black Tide? Why is it that in the city..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Didn't you hear what those 'sane' people were saying?" A man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming.

"This plague was entirely caused by the Golden Descendants themselves! They angered the true will of the gods!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" an old craftsman beside him frowned and rebuked.

"If it weren't for Lord Golden Descendant and the two nameless guests, we would have been devoured by the Black Tide long ago!"

"Eat it all up? That's still better than living a life worse than death like this!"

Another voice, filled with resentment, interrupted; it belonged to a middle-aged woman with a sickly appearance.

“My man was perfectly fine yesterday, but today… Lady Feng Jin saved him, but who knows if the power of the Golden Descendant left some impurities in his body?”

"Those missionaries said it's a mark! It'll be worse next time!"

Bai E listened silently, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped by an icy hand.

The fear and suspicion among the people grew wildly, far more severely than he had anticipated.

The so-called "sober-minded" remarks are clearly fallacies spread by Katniss's faction.

He glanced around discreetly, trying to spot any suspicious faces in the crowd who were deliberately trying to steer the conversation or incite emotions.

Suddenly, he spotted another zookeeper wearing the exact same clothes as him.

"?"

Chapter 1484 Perhaps I'm Not a Perfect Hero

"Hey, what are you doing?"

A higher-ranking team leader patted Bai E heavily on the shoulder, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly:

"Looking around like that, let me tell you, don't get involved in what they're discussing. We need to be able to distinguish right from wrong!"

The team leader almost sprayed Bai E's face with his spittle.

"Those earth beasts over there are waiting to take a bath; the water's already prepared!"

"Don't think that just because you're a special case admitted through the Golden Age, I'll treat you well! We grassroots workers rely on doing real work, not on trying to build connections or get special treatment, understand?"

At this moment, Bai E's hair was ruffled by himself, resembling a bird's nest trampled by an earth beast. His face was covered in dust, and with his tight and short work clothes, he looked exactly like an unlucky guy who had just been beaten up by a black tide monster.

"Uh, okay, okay, coming right away!"
