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

You're a really nice person.

But... your extensive publicity has already put us in a difficult position!

Damianos continued.

"Thank you for showing me this magnificent celestial panorama. Now, I shall embark on this monumental undertaking that will shake the world to the heavens—Damianus will never break his promise!"

As a pioneer, how could he stand by and watch someone die? Xing tried to persuade him with words.

Amianus, however, was terrifyingly lucid at this moment, both rational and foolish—that's exactly the kind of person we're talking about.

"No need for further words." Amianos turned to look at the sky. "Aegler [Sky], receive my wrath!"

Danheng sighed helplessly, "It's a life! There's no other way, just tell him..."

This is also a good opportunity to find out Aglaia's purpose.

Xing nodded in affirmation.

"...The outer world really exists!"

Chapter 258 The Lion's Mouth of Truth

Damianos cautiously confirmed, "So... I was right? You really... came from beyond the heavens?"

Danheng reiterated his affirmation.

"No wonder he called you honored guests of Aglaia..." Damianos wanted to ask more.

The hot-tempered guard stepped forward to interrupt him and escorted him to trial.

Another kind guard shook his head. "This is troublesome."

"He knows things he shouldn't know; we can only leave it to Lady Aglaia to decide."

The guard suggested that Danheng and Xing go to the Lion's Mouth to quell the wave of public opinion.

After expressing their gratitude, the two decided to go.

We must do our best to make amends before Aglaia finds out.

As he reached the exit, Danheng was drawn to the floating garment maker.

"What is this? It looks like a mannequin that you'd only find in a Pinocchio clothing store."

"There's another one on top... a butterfly? Is it a decoration?" Danheng asked curiously.

The golden butterfly perched on the tailor's head seemed to be playing.

"A warrior I've never seen before... He's quite cute, I like him..."

Xing pretended to form hand seals, "I could tell you weren't human at first glance!"

Golden Butterfly: "Eh~ You actually saw through my disguise? Are you also my lady's priestesses? It's been so long since I've seen it..."

As the disguise was exposed, the Golden Butterfly left a happy emoticon.

Xing's eyes widened; this thing didn't seem to belong to Onpharos.

“…That’s truly amazing.” Dan Heng said expressionlessly.

"The next time you see these nymphs, collect them...you might even learn more about Onpharos through them."

These nymphs can glean unexpected information, which Dan Heng believes is worth paying attention to.

[Silver Wolf: Nymph? It's just a bug, why insist on giving it a different name?]

[Ring: Bug! I was almost convinced this was the real world after all these days, this is so jarring. Those citizens, those Golden Descendants… they clearly have self-awareness, yet they're just data.]

[That Summer: Looks like I need to learn coding, otherwise I won't even understand my own world.]

[Star: That's easy, I'll recommend a pro to you. @SilverWolf]

Silver Wolf: I'm busy, my appearance fee is very high.

[Star: Wait for me to get back, I'll play games with you. Oh, and... don't cheat!]

[Silver Wolf: What are you talking about? Me, the mighty Star Core Hunter Silver Wolf, cheating in a game? That's ridiculous.]

[Black Tower: Right, right, how can you call it open if it's never been closed?]

Zhe: Sister! Come quick, I caught a shark!

[Eileen: Awoo~]

In a relatively secluded corner, there is a lion head statue.

No matter how you look at it, Danheng feels it's just a statue; how can you communicate with it?

A brilliant idea flashed through Xing's mind: "Put your hand into the lion's mouth."

Just then, the lion's head emitted a bright light.

"Roar! Look, look who has come to visit this lion!"

"Aren't these two new friends of Ohm, warriors who have come from afar? It's a pleasure to meet you, hohoho!"

Xing looked regretful, wishing it could have been faster.

Danheng: "You seem to be very well-informed."

"Didn't anyone tell you?" the Lion of Truth said proudly. "I am the all-seeing eye and all-hearing ear of Ohm. Nothing that is said on the streets can escape my notice."

"We'd like to ask you for a favor," Dan Heng said, getting straight to the point without delay.

"Right now, rumors about a woman named Pink Cloud Celestial Maiden are spreading widely in the Holy City..."

"Roar!" The Lion of Truth said with difficulty, "Warrior, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

"Rumors? I doubt it. What does it matter if they're true or false, as long as the citizens are happy? But why are you two warriors so wary of them? Could there be another reason behind it? Tell me about it?"

Well... he's still a Leo who loves gossip.

[Truthful Lion's Mouth: Maru, your reputation is ruined now.]

[You have the nerve to say that? The other day I went fishing and came home late, and I got kicked out of the house. You then spread the rumor that I'm impotent and my wife can't stand it!]

[That's right, you guys are behind more than half of the rumors about Onfaros.]

[Truthful Lion's Mouth: Haha, of course information needs secondary processing, otherwise I'd just be a decoration.]

[Star: Unbelievable!]

[Grandpa Tail: Star Core brat, why are you stealing my lines?]

Just as Xing was about to find a reason to refuse, a cold male voice rang out from behind her.

"Don't be fooled—what this lion loves most is a cacophony of voices."

"Just like a few days ago, when someone slandered my family's honor, your attitude was one of indifference, wasn't it?"

Seeing that Wan Di's tone was unfriendly, Zhenyan Lion's Mouth was so frightened that he stammered.

"Oh, oh ho ho! Isn't this Lord Wan Di? How have you been lately?"

"He has the face of a lion, but he's as weak as a hyena with a broken heart." Wan Di sneered, looking down on such behavior.

"You and your brother will stop at nothing for amusement, even condoning the despicable act of fabricating history, without any bottom line."

The lion chuckled awkwardly, "How...how can you call it fabrication? It's at most some...embellishment! Artistic embellishment!"

[Qingque: Good heavens, could the Lion's Mouth of Truth be a creation of a fictional historian?]

[Gallach: You mean mysterious? Fabricating history certainly sounds like a mysterious approach.]

[Truth Lion's Mouth: See? From now on, please call me: Truth Lion Scholar. Hehehe, Mr. Gallagher, teach me some fiction techniques!]

[Gallach: It's not impossible. Let's talk to my Mianmian.]

[Mianmian: Hiss...]

Wan Di's eyes were cold, a hint of disgust flashing across them.

"Do as they say, or else... I'll grind you into iron dust with my bare hands."

"Oh ho!" The Lion of Truth, a bully who preys on the weak, exclaimed, "I... I understand! I'll go think of a solution right away!"

"I assure you all, from this moment on—you will never hear the words 'Pink Cloud Celestial Maiden' again!"

And indeed, with the help of the Lion's Mouth, the rumors gradually subsided...

[Ring: This thing isn't some kind of sensitive word detection system, is it? Commonly known as content moderation.]

[Zhu Yuan: It's quite useful. It would be great if the Public Security Bureau could develop one.]

[Qingyi: No need for words to pierce the lion's mouth, the rope maker can catch them all with ease.]

Dan Heng thanked Wan Di.

Wan Di said he just didn't like the lion.

“Bai Er seems to value you all highly. If you are simply eliminated without any explanation… his fragile heart can’t take it.”

"Good luck, stranger. Let's hope this farce hasn't reached Aglaia's ears yet."

After saying that, Wan Di left without looking back.

[Bai E: Wan Di! How can you say such things? I'm not sensitive at all, answer me!]

[Wan Di: Savior, you can't even handle this little setback... what kind of savior are you?]

[Bai'er: You... alright, alright, do me a favor, Lion's Mouth.]

[Truthful Lion's Mouth: I dare not! That scorching fist was only 0.1 centimeters away from me, I'm dizzy...]

[Aglaia: Stop. Don't let the guests laugh at us. As members of the Golden Family, you should set a good example.]

[Star: Haha, I really enjoy watching it.]

[Walter: It's alright, we all know the Golden Clan is very united. I think Bai'er's cheerful personality is a good thing, and I hope he can maintain it.]

Chapter 259 The Core of Creation

“That flamboyant Golden Descendant also has a rather eccentric personality,” Dan Heng suddenly said.

"But in any case, this matter is now over. Prepare yourself mentally and go to your appointment."

Xing winked. What should she say if she's been caught?

As Danheng walked, he said, "If we are still asked, we will admit it to the truth."

"After all, we saved a citizen's life."

"Hey you two, over here! I've been waiting for you for ages!" Tibo called out before the two even reached the bath.

Tibo put her hands on her hips, pretending to be angry, "Where have you two been?"

"We've been waiting here for so long, our wings are too tired to flap anymore."

Xing scratched his head naturally, like a child who had made a mistake.

Dan Heng explained, "We encountered some trouble, but fortunately it was resolved."

"Teacher Tibo, do you go online?" Xing asked in confusion. The matter of Amianos was quite significant, but she seemed to know nothing about it.

"You're really well-informed, aren't you? You even know about the World Wide Web? Young people are so energetic!" Tibo sighed wearily.

"But we're so busy today, we don't have any free time."

Danheng nodded. "That's good. Surfing the internet... isn't a good habit."

"What strange things are you saying..." Tibo looked at Danheng strangely. Our network seems to be different from yours.

"Let's go, hopefully Aya won't get impatient waiting."

[Xing: Haha, you've been rejected. Who's going to read novels if they don't go online?]

[Danheng: I'm doing this all for your own good.]

[Walter: Why do you sound so much like a parent? Danheng, you should learn more from General Jingyuan; he lives such a comfortable life.]

[Fu Xuan: Yeah, my online name is... Real-name Internet Access~]

[Jing Yuan: No, why am I being dragged into this? I just wanted to quietly watch them expand. Could it be… that they're too successful and attract attention?]
