Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

"You are the greatest hero. The Dawn Machine is still illuminating the Holy City. Don't you understand?"

Sai Fei'er's body trembled, and she quickly looked away. The sky... was still bright; it hadn't gone out. But why?

"You already know, so now it's..." The cat and Aglaia locked eyes.

"Not long ago, a voice told me: The Dawn Machine no longer needs trickery to operate; as long as the bead on her body doesn't break, it won't go out."

"At first I was also skeptical, but just now, I saw the true form of the Dawn Machine."

Saifeier opened her bag and took out a milky white marble, placing it in her palm.

“Oh, that’s it.” Aglaia also lowered her head, her dull pupils clearly reflecting the marble’s image.

"Sai Fei wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks, calmed herself, and felt the power flowing through the marbles. It really was maintaining its fabricated trick."

"So, Aya, I can finally live with you!" Saifeier cried tears of joy. She had waited for this day for so long, thinking she would never be able to say it until she died. Now... she was free.

Suddenly, she remembered something and said embarrassedly, "Um, Aya. I think I got this little thing from a man. What should I do?"

"Get a good night's sleep, leave the rest to me." Aglaya gently stroked the cat's hair by its ear, her tone reassuring.

"She sacrificed too much for the journey to pursue the fire, a little more wouldn't matter. Let Saifei bear the consequences. I just hope that Mr. Gallagher will be more reasonable."

"She finally got her cat back."

"...Now would be the perfect time to take some photos," Danheng suggested.

Oh, I also need to take photos for March.

Xing took out March 7's camera and took a picture of the Dawn Machine and the Palace Gate.

Great, these photos deserve to be displayed at the very front.

“…Hmm?” Dan Heng became alert; the surrounding stone statues seemed to have moved.

"This is bad... Xing, be on alert!"

Upon hearing this, Xing turned around, pulled out a baseball bat, and scanned the stone statues with his eyes.

Dan Heng analyzed, "These things have no aura...are they inorganic life forms?"

The outer layer of the stone statue is cracked, revealing its ferocious appearance.

"It seems they don't intend to let us leave. Behind us lies a dead end and a cliff, so we have no choice but to fight."

The monster, like a skeleton in a movie, was easy for the two to defeat, but it was relentless; as long as there were rocks, it would keep crawling out of the ground.

As the two were pondering how to escape, the white-haired man leaped down from the height, his sword flashing with dazzling light, instantly piercing the body of a monster, the shockwave shattering all the surrounding stone statues.

The man sighed softly, turned around, and smiled as he approached Xing.

"Watch out!" Dan Heng raised his sword and thrust out.

"You're carrying something really interesting." Before Xing could react, the man snatched the baseball bat and swung it.

A piercing buzzing sound rang out, the attack was interrupted, and the spear tip spun several times in the air before embedding itself in the ground.

Dan Heng looked at the broken gun barrel in his hand and glared at the white-haired youth with hostility.

The man tossed down the baseball bat, which spun smoothly through his hand like a bouncy toy.

"Don't misunderstand, this is for everyone's safety," the white-haired youth assured, patting his chest.

[Bai'er: Uh…don't stare at me, I can explain. After all, you were outsiders, and I didn't know you back then.]

[Blade: Danheng, the Cloud Strike has broken...]

[Danheng: ...It may have been too long, and its durability is insufficient.]

[Silver Wolf: That baseball bat is a rare item; its special property is indestructibility. It's normal that Strike Cloud can't compare. Don't be impulsive; we still have a mission.]

[Blade: Hmph. That's right, you've severed all ties with your past life, of course you wouldn't care.]

[Tibo: Little White, you're bad!]

[Tian: Hehe, that was a cool move, but damaging other people's property is wrong.]

[Tinin: ...Bad.]

[Bai E: I was wrong. I will definitely reflect on my actions. Please forgive me this time, teachers.]

[Wan Di: How foolish! In this situation, we should first defeat the enemy so thoroughly that they have no chance to fight back. Since we've started, we should see it through to the end.]

[Bai E: Why don't you do it?]

[Wan Di: I've fought him, but I haven't won.]

[Danheng: We were opponents in the martial arts ceremony.]

Dan Heng remained vigilant. "Is everyone safe?"

You mean, stealing Star's bat and accidentally breaking my weapon is called "Safety".

Bai E said with a serious expression, "In a place like Chongyuan, carrying a weapon is a provocation. These soldiers are the minions of the Titans of Strife, and they always exterminate their enemies."

"If you continue to wield your swords, you will not only become prey yourselves..."

Looking to one side, children, women, and the elderly are huddled in a corner.

"They will also direct their attacks at innocent people."

Xing and Danheng were certainly not people who indiscriminately killed innocent people, but...

“You could have just spoken to me, instead of resorting to such an extreme method.”

Dan Heng exposed the linguistic loophole, and it's not hard to see that Bai E did this more as a test.

It's normal. A person you've never met before possesses great power; who can guarantee they're a friend or foe?

Bai E chuckled, "Who knows, I might be the one in danger? I dare not let my guard down."

Chapter 244 Ripples of the Past

"Then, could you please state your purpose, guests who have descended from the sky?"

A young, clear female voice came from not far away.

"Xiao-bai-! You're messing around again! Running so fast, and causing trouble without permission?"

The red-haired girl jogged over to Bai E's side, the broken spearhead of the Jiyun Spear still stuck to the side.

"Oh no! How did I manage to break someone's weapon! Oh no, is this proper etiquette when dealing with strangers?"

[Ling: Oh my god, I thought it was cute before, but it's even cuter now! I want to hug it!]

[Tian: Little Bell, you like me so much, won't they be jealous?]

[Vivian: No, I didn't! Whatever the Rope Craftsman does is right.]

[Feng Jin: Teacher Tian, ​​please stop teasing them.]

[Tibao: Is Little Violet disgusted with us? I'm so sad.]

After Tibo's explanation, Danheng and Xing lowered their guard a little.

Bai E's actions were purely out of the blue. The way the two of them descended was too strange, especially in a dangerous area like Chongyuan. It was inevitable that he would be wary.

After getting to know each other, the two sides reached a temporary settlement.

Bai Er came to rescue and escort the ordinary people and did not want any conflict to prevent the situation from escalating.

Dan Heng, on the other hand, wanted to take this opportunity to obtain more information so that the two of them could explore the wilderness together, and also to hide their true strength and keep a backup plan.

“I am Bai Er of Ariel Michèle. Please accept my apologies for any offense I may have caused.”

Bai E sincerely apologized.

Xing observed carefully for a moment, then said, "Why do I feel like you and I look a bit alike..."

"Really? What a coincidence..." The sunny young man laughed heartily. "In that case, we've become friends through a fight. Here, this is your weapon."

Xing took the bat. "That's right, now I'm the complete Galaxy Batman."

Tibo also assured Bai'e that Danheng's Cloud-Striking Technique would be repaired.

Putting everything else aside, Hatonus, the craftsman from Ohma, was indeed skilled; repairing the cloud was not a difficult task for him.

In this way, the blade will not need after-sales warranty.

Through their brief exchange, Danheng gained a lot of information and planned to travel together to the holy city they had mentioned, believing that they would make more discoveries there.

"Let's get going first, and hopefully the problems will be solved... things will fall into place naturally."

Xing chuckled inwardly, thinking, "You must be thinking that this will be easily solved."

[Silver Wolf: There are five people... Don't take my phone.]

[Blade: Danheng, you are one of them.]

[Star: Take this! Azure Dragon Cleanses the World! Go talk to my Water Dragon.]

[Navilette: ...]

[Fou: Hahaha, Violet, you're killing me!]

Nodus, an old man from the Titans of the Faith Path, was ungrateful for the rescue efforts of Bai'er and his companions, and refused to go to the Holy City.

But the middle-aged man, Virtus, who sought help, only hoped that his companions would survive so that he could get a good night's sleep.

The Titans have long been driven mad by the conflict here, and the Black Tide is surging forward. People just want to survive.

Intergenerational conflicts inevitably arise between people with differing perspectives.

Can you consider one of them guilty?

The old man wasn't preventing his people from leaving; on the contrary, he was very open-minded, allowing everyone to freely choose whether to stay or leave. It was just that he himself didn't want to leave.

But as the most respected elder, how can the others bear it if the old man doesn't leave?

Under Tibo's guidance, Danheng and Xing experienced the magical aspect of Onpharos, which allows them to revisit the past through rituals.

By chance, the three rescued the old man from the monster.

The old man's thoughts were simple: Ohmma believed in Cephale, while he believed in Janus (the path); he did not want to live a life of subservience in a foreign land.

Tibo reveals her identity: "My name is Tirispius."

That is, the high priest.

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately apologized and, following Tibo's advice, led his people to the holy city.

Through this incident, Bai E finally relented and answered Dan Heng's question.

Onphalus is nearing its end.

The Titans are the Old Gods, once worshipped by people, but now their enemies.

The Golden Descendants, in the fable, are people whose blood flows with gold.

Dan Heng shook his head helplessly. Bai E's answer was too brief and he didn't intend to explain clearly at all.

Tibao, being very understanding, began to tell a poem.

The history of a civilization is often hidden in poetry.

Tibo eloquently recounts the legends of the twelve Titans and the speculations about the origins of the Golden Blood.

Suddenly the earth shook violently, as if a giant were walking, each step feeling incredibly heavy.

It turned out that the reinforcements had arrived with the Earth Beast.

The Earth Beast is tens of meters tall and looks a lot like an ancient dinosaur. It has dark purple skin and thick limbs with prominent white carapaces.

But please do not touch that white stone ridge; it is its only Achilles' heel.

Paimon: Wow, what a magnificent creature!

[Dartaria: Awesome! I wish I could tame one and make it my mount.]

[That Summer: Earth Beasts are gentle in nature and are often used as transportation, but please do not harm them.]

[Xia Die: Hehe, Teacher really likes the Earth Beast. I'll give you a makeable Earth Beast doll sometime.]

[That Summer: Am I the kind of person who accepts gifts from students? ...Just leave them in my lab.]

[Aglaia: I made clothes with the Earth Beast printed on them... but I don't plan to sell them.]
