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

[Xing: Ugh, being with Danheng is so boring. I wish March were here.]

[Feng Jin: Haha, speaking of this, I remember when we were studying, Bai E had a nickname, E, because she was always bringing us food.]

[Nicole: It's really a bit strange without March 7th's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks).]

[Star: I'm starving, could you bring me some braised noodles?]

[Bai'er: Received, your order is being delivered. Xing, I brought you braised noodles. Quick, eat it while it's hot.]

"That battle cry swept across the battlefield, destroying everything in its path, and simultaneously felling my enemy and my comrades to the ground. People were as fragile as reeds in a fierce wind."

Bai E lowered his head, his heart aching. There was nothing he could do at that moment.

"At that moment, my limbs trembled, my weapon slipped from my grasp, and all I could hear was the frantic, shameful pounding of my heart..."

"Fear, that is why the Titans of Discontent are revered."

Bai E's eyes blazed with fury. "If a warrior can still take steps in the face of its fear, then no trial can shake the weapon in his hand."

"Gentlemen, if you wish to step back, this is your last chance," Bai E said with a smile.

He certainly wouldn't treat enemies and friends the same way.

Xing grinned. "It's alright, he's died several times already."

“These shouldn’t be confused…” Dan Heng explained.

[Star: Don't look at me, that's what I wanted to say.]

[Fireworks: Haha, Hoshi's daily flirting routine, Danheng, you're one of them.]

[Qingque: This is no joke; I have indeed died twice, including reincarnation.]

[Bai E: When it comes to the number of deaths, only those with ten thousand enemies are the true authority. @TenThousandEnemy, speak up.]

[Wan Di: Get lost. The Savior seems to have plenty of free time. Want to have a fight?]

[Ying: Oh no, Bai E is turning into Xing! And personality is contagious! Give me back my cheerful boyish self!]

Bai E: "It seems that the two of you have indeed experienced countless dangers."

Dan Heng spoke coldly, still harboring doubts about Bai E.

"I have no interest in the baptism of the Titans. Offering help to unfamiliar worlds is simply my duty as a pioneer."

“Expansion…interesting.” Bai E became interested in the expansion that the two often mentioned.

"In your world, that must be a Titan revered by thousands."

"There is no need to confirm your resolve any further. We are about to face the embodiment of conflict, but under the threat of our swords, your will shines even brighter."

Bai E walked toward the secret path.

"Let us set out. In the time before Cephalus [The Negative World] sank, no one could stand against it. Now, we shall take up the divine responsibility and protect all beings of Onphalus—"

"Become a hero with me!"

The three traversed the secret path and arrived at the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace.

Dan Heng glanced around; "utter silence..."

Bai Er explained the situation: "Nicardoli uses deathly silence as the war drum of his pride, and behind this curtain of water... lies the battlefield."

The collapsed entrance to the Heavenly Palace was obscured by a curtain of water falling from the sky. The former prosperity is now only left with the Titans sometimes murmuring and sometimes roaring here.

The moment Xing stepped across the water curtain, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if she had been struck on the head.

"Who's crying out? My head hurts so much, it feels like it's being ripped apart..."

Bai Er encouraged, “Hang in there! Think of your faith, everything you cherish… If you can’t, imagine death, that might actually help you live!”

Wendy: Heh, if it were Luminous, she'd probably be asleep by now.

[Paimon: Ah, street performer, how did you know? You've been secretly spying on us.]

Wendy: The wind will tell me everything. Don't rush it; it's normal for young people to fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

[Star: No, when did I become this weak?]

[Walter: You've only been in Ohma a short time, yet you dare to put us face to face with the mad Titans. Bai'er, you are not as innocent as you seem.]

[Bai E: Haha, you're joking. Every step of growth is accompanied by loss. I can't gamble, and I dare not gamble. Everyone's wishes are still waiting for me to fulfill.]

[Aglaia: If Onpharos hadn't been on the verge of collapse, I wouldn't want you to be like this. But we bear too much; you are destined to become the leader of the Golden Blood, the savior of Onpharos.]

[Bai Er: I understand. Sorry for making the atmosphere heavy.]

[Star: It's okay, we'll help you this time.]

Chapter 248 Aglaia

As they passed through the water curtain, Titan's ravings became clearer.

Bai E frowned, stopped, and reached out to block Xing's path.

The Titan of Strife stood on a high platform in the Marble Palace, kneeling and gripping a golden spear. The shaft of the spear shimmered with a liquid gold-like luster, and the spearhead was incredibly sharp.

Under the sunlight, the spearhead reflected a light so bright it hurt the eyes, as if a gentle swing could cut through all obstacles in the world.

Looking back, Titan appears in a platinum hue, like an ancient deity whose brilliance has been etched into the stone by time.

Nicardoli leaped into the air and instantly stomped in front of the crowd, stirring up a storm on the ground and sending pebbles flying.

Xing raised his hand to shield himself from the wind and dust, having already taken out his baseball bat.

Good grief, we're already fighting a boss right after we arrived.

But will Xing back down?

Combat... is also one of our specialties.

Silver Wolf: This is Titan? I'm a little disappointed.

[Bell: After experiencing Goldpie, Sunday, and Thunderclap, our expectations were too high. Now that I think about it, Titan is just a slightly more powerful Fatewalker.]

[Star: Onpharos's strongest fighter should be the Commander.]

[Danheng: Bai'er, it seems the fire you retrieved from the Titans still needs an heir, and as expected, it's you, the Golden Blood.]

[Bai'e: Those who inherit the flame are called demigods and possess the powers of the Titans. Aglaia inherited the flame of the Romantic Titans.]

[Aglaia: Friends from afar, Ohma welcomes you.]

[Star: Wow, no wonder Gallagher didn't dare come in before, this gold thread is too unfair, we just saw Ohma.]

[Gallach: I can sense that she has little humanity left.]

[Saifeier: Aya, it's all my fault for not being able to help you while I've been out here.]

[Aglaia: Sefaria, you are the true hero.]

The Titan of Strife roared at the three, as if venting its madness.

Bai E gripped his sword and warned, "Be careful! It looks different from what I remember."

"What has changed?" Dan Heng conjured up a cloud of attack, not letting any information slip by.

Bai E's eyes narrowed. "...weaker, but also more twisted."

The golden spear… just like the one that shot down the carriage, Dan Heng thought to himself.

What is Xing doing? Dan Heng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and saw her eager expression. Sigh, I'll find an opportunity to share the information later.

The spearhead gleamed with golden light, and the Titan of Strife swung it with unstoppable force, its sharpness sweeping across all directions.

Xing switched to his Flame Spear without any intention of dodging, charging to the front to block.

Danheng swung his spear to deflect the Titan's spear, and then the spear tip danced like a vivid dragon.

With a sideways slash, Bai E's combat experience was in no way inferior to the two.

Titan suddenly stretched out his arms, opened his chest wide, and murmured... his voice reaching our ears.

A golden magic circle floated in the air, and gravity swept over his entire body.

Xing slapped his forehead, a frantic murmur accompanying his thoughts, trying to take root in his mind.

"Gentlemen, clear your minds of distractions..."

"Stand by my side, and I will withstand its wrath!"

Who do you think you are? Star shook off his distracting thoughts and said, "Little Titan, take this!"

Bai E smiled helplessly; these two guests were truly extraordinary.

He then took a step beyond the Star of Transcendence, his sword flashing, "Even gods bleed..."

"I will extinguish your flames, Titan!"

The Titan of Strife was forced back by the continuous slashes. Just as it was about to throw its golden spear, countless golden threads became entangled and taut. The entire marble sky was controlled by gold, and the Titan was like prey caught in a spider web, unable to move.

The blonde woman landed gracefully. "Let's do it."

Bai E believed the woman's words without a doubt, and now was the best time to strike. He stepped back with his left foot, gathering all his strength in his leg.

Wielding his sword in one hand, Bai E transformed into a blur, instantly appearing behind Titan.

Aglaia manipulated the gold, her high heels stepping on silk threads, lifting her slowly as she descended, ripples spreading across the water's surface.

"This is not Nicardi's true form, but merely one of its many divine bodies."

Golden threads encircled his body, and specks of golden light drifted away in the wind.

"The spark is not here."

The Nicardi soldiers who had invaded Ohma seemed to sense this and began to withdraw one after another. Tian peeked out from behind the tree where she was hiding and flapped her wings, flying towards the holy city.

[Nicole: Based on my years of working with clients, Aglaia must be very wealthy. Her aura surpasses even that of many corporate CEOs; elegance never goes out of style. Sister…can we collaborate?]

[Bai'er: You've come to the right person. Most of our Golden Clan's clothing is made by Aglaia, although I still think a yellow top paired with purple pants looks better.]

[Chiori: Yellow...and purple? Uh...I've had countless ideas flashing through my head, but I can't find a suitable style.]

[Xia Die: I suspect that Lord Bai E's only flaw is his aesthetic sense.]...

[Star: I knew it, they definitely wouldn't face Titan head-on. I hate clones, Huanlong, you deserve to die.]

[Huanlong: ?]

[Star: Since the Luofu Immortal Ship incident, you've stirred up two major troubles. Now, Onfaros is connected to your colleagues. If you don't die, who will?]

[Huanlong: Heh, not everyone on the Immortal Ship is a good person. They might start the divine war before we do.]

Back at the Marble Palace, Aglaia walked slowly forward.

"Welcome to Onfaros, two new friends of Ohma."

Xing and Danheng exchanged a glance but did not speak.

"This welcoming banquet may not be considered elegant, but it has helped us dispel our doubts. From the present perspective, you are indeed honored guests of the Holy City and distinguished guests of the Golden Descendants."

Xing whispered, "Her eyes..."

“Somewhat disorganized. Could it be…” Dan Heng guessed.

Aglaia naturally noticed their subtle actions.

"Are you curious about these eyes? I am not blind; on the contrary, I can see far more than the average person."

“Those who have golden blood always have something different from ordinary people, and in my case, it is my senses.”

"There is no need to measure the world with light anymore. The wind will carry my message along the golden threads, sending countless threads to my fingertips."

Aglaia's gaze shifted to the open celestial palace, where hidden gold shimmered with specks of silver light.

"Just like right now, the virtues of the two of you have transformed into a warm current, pleasing my skin."

Wendy: The gold threads can reveal hidden emotions. I see. The gold threads are where her field of vision lies.

[Ying: You're no different. You tell me all sorts of things, you're probably spying on all seven kingdoms.]

Wendy: Hehe.

[Barbara: What! He...he's the Wind God! I don't believe it, I don't believe it...]

Wendy: Damn it, my most loyal follower. Traveler, didn't I tell you not to say that?
