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

"The twelve illusory totems correspond to the twelve Titans of Onphalus. And each lit star represents a spark that humanity has returned to its rightful place."

[Mei: Why do I have a feeling there will be a 13th one?]

[Laigushi: Absolutely impossible.]

Mei: Oh.

Dan Heng: "The returned flames... there are six of them. Your journey is already halfway complete?"

"This was achieved at the cost of enormous sacrifices made by our predecessors. The Golden Blood's progress once encountered tremendous obstacles, and for a long time there was no progress at all..."

Bai'er paused for a moment, "It was Aglaia and Teacher Tibo who once again gathered the Golden Blood of the world and restarted the journey foretold by the oracle."

“These two are also the only two demigods in the Holy City right now,” Xia Die added.

Xing thought for a moment, "Shouldn't it be only four?"

Bai E understands what Mingxing wants to express.

"Although Tibo, Tian, ​​and Teacher Tining are three people, in terms of divine status—it's still one person!"

"In the past, the Titans were the pillars of the world. But the revelation the Golden Blood received from the oracle was to shatter these twelve pillars and reconstruct the world's order."

“The problem lies here,” Bai Er said, slowing his pace.

"When the old gods fall, someone needs to temporarily lift the broken pillars and fill the vacancies in the divine office until the miracle of creation occurs."

Bai E shook his head. "Otherwise, the world will completely collapse and become a wasteland before the oracle is fulfilled."

“Aglaia and Teacher Tibo have buried their gods. Now they are both human and god, and the bearers of Onpharos’s fate.”

[Bell: Divine positions require succession. Then, when humanity fades away, won't it become the new Titans?]

[Silver Wolf: According to your logic, why couldn't the previous Titans have been human?]

[Absurd! The Titans created Onpharos; how could it be human? It's merely been corrupted by the Black Tide and lost its sanity.]

[That summer: You're stuck in your ways. Where do divine pronouncements come from? Where do the Titans come from...? The Ancient Ones even control your lives and deaths, why don't you treat them as gods?]

Blasphemers, it has been so for millennia. It is because of people like you that divine punishment has descended, and the Titans have departed from us.

[That Summer: You're hopeless! Who made these rules? Just you wait, I'll prove it to you.]

[Bai'er: Teacher, I support you.]

"Will you also become a demigod?" Xing asked.

Dan Heng seemed to understand something. "So this is what it means to have the spark that belongs to you."

Bai'er nodded. "Shooting down Titans, recovering the fire, filling the divine positions—this is the mission of us Golden Blood. I am walking the path they both walked."

“A mission…?” Xia Die repeated softly.

Bai'e looked at the altar, "No matter how you describe these twelve Titans, nothing is more intuitive than hearing the whispers of the stars with your own ears."

"Why don't you two step forward and try it yourselves?" Bai E invited.

Danheng tentatively sensed the pool of spiritual water before him, "Listening to the voice of the stars... is that even possible?"

Bai Er explained the method: "Just get closer and listen carefully, and you can catch the whispers that echo in the void."

"How about we begin with the Spear of Divine Retribution, Nicardo's [Conflict] Voice?"

Xia Die murmured to herself in a corner, "Golden descendant, demigod... Is what's written in the oracle truly Onpharos's only destiny?"

A few steps forward from the star, the tide in the basin moved automatically without wind.

The sound faintly reached my ears from the void.

*The daytime was silent; darkness had arrived.*

*The flames climbed higher and higher, the drumbeats fell like a sudden rain.*

*Warriors stained with golden blood, their battle robes woven with shattered remains*

*Bronze for your magnificent chapters, brass for my mournful lament*

After reviewing the profiles of each Titan, Xing couldn't help but feel puzzled.

They seem to be somewhat similar to the known definitions of destiny in the universe, like another form of simulated star gods.

Xing had at least undergone so many simulated universe tests in the Black Tower, and through this exposure, he had gained a general understanding of the knowledge about destiny.

Bai E saw Xing withdraw, "Well, did you hear that?"

“I don’t understand…” Xing shook his head. The Titan’s synesthetic beacon could not be translated.

Bai E empathized deeply, having experienced the same thing himself.

"When I first heard the voice of the Titans, I was just a child who only knew how to wield a sword and had no idea what the meaning of life was."

"Similarly, I still don't know why the oracle chose me, but I have to thank it..." Bai Er recalled.

"If I hadn't embarked on this journey, I probably would have become a lost soul on the battlefield by now?"

Chapter 263 Leaving Onfaros

[Black Tower: Interesting, Omnic guy. You're not using those Titans to simulate Destiny, are you? Come to think of it, it's certainly convenient to input existing Destiny data into the scepter.]

[That Summer: Since we are all born for simulation, there must be something to store the data, and the only thing that remains unchanged in Onpharos is...]

[Bai'e: Titan's Spark!]

[Laigushi: Clever. But what good is knowing? You still have a sliver of a chance if you keep going. Bai'er, I look forward to your performance.]

[Screwgoom: Everyone on the Star Train, please explore Onpharos with peace of mind. Rigus will not interfere with you at the moment.]

[Huanlong: A tragic colleague, attracting the attention of the entire galaxy even before being born.]

Bai'e coughed lightly. "Back to you two, I would like to extend a formal invitation, hoping that you two can join the Golden Blood's camp and help us to defeat Nicardoli and seize the fire from the warring Titans."

"If you two still have any questions, I will do my best to answer them."

Xing did not refuse; she also wanted to see Onpharos clearly.

The following information was obtained through inquiry:

The conditions for being chosen by the Golden Sons are unknown... but it favors those in extreme circumstances and will bring miracles before their eyes.

Legend has it that the first Golden Child was born a thousand years ago. Since then, the chosen ones have roamed the world, during which a bloody Golden War broke out.

Now all that's left is for Teacher Tian to find Suspended Peak City, and then Bai'e will embark on his journey to Nicardoli.

Xing nodded. "I understand everything."

"The road ahead is fraught with peril, but I will not force you," Bai E sincerely reminded them.

"But if you two decide to stay, I... Bai E of the Ai Li Mi Xie will do my utmost to mend the rift between you and the Golden Blood."

“The ice in Lady Aglaia’s heart is probably hard to melt…” Xia Die interjected, “but I will do my best.”

Danheng handed the decision over to Xing.

Xing scratched his head. "Me, make the decision? Really?"

“In matters like this, I trust your judgment more,” Danheng said definitively.

Star: "Leave Onpharos."

Dan Heng was taken aback. "Hmm... Is this the end? Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm tired, I want to leave." Xing nodded, her intuition telling her to stay, but she didn't follow her heart.

Bai E's smile vanished, and his voice was low as he said, "I understand."

"Looking back, it was indeed unfair that the two of them had been helping Ohmma with selfless kindness and goodwill, while we always responded with suspicion and coercion."

Bai Er sighed silently, “You understood my predicament earlier, and now it’s my turn to do the same.”

"The journey of the Golden Descendants... is indeed very lonely," Xia Die couldn't help but sigh.

“Let’s go, Danheng, Xing.” Bai’e led the way out of the vortex of creation. “I will bring people to escort you two back to where you fell.”

"I know that a reunion is a pipe dream. At least we can make the farewell less hasty."

Under the escort of Bai'e and a group of Holy City guards, Xing and Danheng returned to the crash site of Chongyuan and worked together to salvage the train carriages.

With the help of an Ohmarian citizen who resembled an omphalos, you escaped Onfaros without suffering the punishment of the so-called extraterrestrial curse.

Upon returning to the train, you discover that the Black Swan has quietly departed. March 7th's condition worsened, and no one knows the cause of her symptoms.

Despite running low on fuel, the train completed its final jump, hoping to resolve its troubles at the next destination.

As for the fate of Onpharos, the "Eternal Land," and the upheavals it will eventually bring to the galaxy... at least for the rest of my life, none of this will concern the stars anymore.

Onpharos, the Eternal Land: The End

【star:???】

[Ying: Is that all...?]

[Fireworks: The story is complete! Hooray!]

[Danheng: This is the ending we chose to leave. March 7th is indeed related to Onfaros. Xing, we must rescue Little March.]

[Star: I never intended to leave!]

[Ring: This is similar to an if statement. It's just that this android citizen... Legus, no need to guess, it's you.]

[Laigushi: The expected outcome. As expected, variables are still needed to drive the plot forward, otherwise progress will be too slow.]

[Bai E: Star, my good friend, thank you for choosing to stay.]

[Xia Die: The future of the Oracle has taken an alternate turn. Thank you for helping Onpharos.]

[Walter: Let's help each other out. If this troubles you, please lend a hand.]

[Tibo: As a member of the Golden Family, it's our duty to help friends.]

[Star: Ahem, why is this Miss Black Swan so quiet? Has she fled to avoid punishment?]

[Black Swan: This… perhaps I should go to Yiting for help.]

[Fire Thief: I can't leave... Aglaia... What did you do... to make amends...]

[Aglaia: Who...are you?]

[Wan Di: I don't understand the Fire Thief's purpose now. Stealing fire... could it not be for the purpose of destroying the world?]

[That Summer: Stealing Fire...? Data...? Re-creation...]

[Saifeier: Grey, you have to help us! I'll take you to steal Aya's treasure vault.]

[Star: Let's do it!]

Xing decided, "I will stay in Onpharos."

[Gui Naifen: Whew, that scared me to death. Thankfully there's a sequel, it's good and I love watching it.]

Wendy: Relaxed and carefree, sipping a drink and reading a story—it's simply perfect.

[Ambi: Mm-hmm.]

"Excellent! You truly are Onpharos's hope." Bai Er beamed with joy, his voice becoming much lighter.

“I have always believed that the journey of the Golden Family is not an epic of just a few people, and we must unite all potential allies—especially heroes like you two.”

"If we can succeed in the battle against Nicardo... I'm sure Aglaia won't have any more doubts."

Xia Die noticed the weariness in Xing's eyes and reminded Bai E to let them return to the Bathing Palace to rest first.

Bai'er immediately realized, "I got a little too excited. Sorry, your first day in Onpharos has been long enough."

"Please make sure you get plenty of rest at the Bathing Palace. Once you two are fully energized, I believe Teacher Tian will also return with news from Suspended Peak City."

Dan Heng's tense nerves relaxed.

"I never expected this day to be so dramatic."

"Let's go. With Bai E's guarantee, at least we can rest easy for now."

Xing suddenly realized she had forgotten something…

"Take a picture of this place for March 7th," Xing said, taking out her camera.

Danheng nodded. "Let's record the wonders of the primordial vortex."
