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

"The light of dawn weighs heavily on our shoulders, and golden blood falls to the earth."

"They converge into a scalding river, flowing through the descendants of heroes throughout the world."

As the songs played, vivid murals flashed by, eventually transforming into a surging golden river, where heroes raised their cups in toast!

[Fufu: I have a bad feeling. Why is it getting scarier and scarier?!]

[Tibo: Is this...is this really a dream?]

[Wendy: Songs can convey emotions and messages. Although the lyrics are normal, the music is setting the stage for something eerie. Friends, the following images might look strange, so don't be scared.]

[Yuzu Leaf: Hehe, I love scary things the most. Alice, come here, let's watch together. I'm here, it'll be okay.]

[Star: I have the Butterfly, demons and monsters, get out of here... get out of here! Get out of here!]

[Xia Die: Your Excellency…]

A piercing, sharp electrical hum flashed by, and distorted golden lettering appeared on the mural!

A strange murmur arose, and the room was stained red with blood. The small music box on the table, which was still running, looked particularly strange. The light flickered and then suddenly turned as white as lightning.

"What...what's wrong?" Tibo asked anxiously, taking a step back.

The music box rotates counter-clockwise like a gear.

The mother's gentle voice held a strange undertone, "Janus, please listen!"

The burning torches flickered like ghostly flames, and the human figures in the murals walked in the darkness.

"In the black mist, death and fate are near. On the blood-stained earth, the dead and the living seek their way."

The picture looks like an old black and white television, with static, blurriness, shaking, and even distortion!

Why is the world like your labyrinthine face? Why does life echo your mournful cries, silent and without echo?

The strange object creaked and groaned, its buzzing sound resembling the roar of a ferocious beast.

Tibo stood alone in place, overwhelmed by boundless terror. Was this... really a dream?

"Why is there no way back? Only the dead wander aimlessly. Why is there no way forward? I can only hear the farewells of the living."

Why did it begin with only a lone traveler remaining? Why did it end with only a solitary figure standing alone?

In Tibo's sight, the little music box spun faster and faster, and the doll's eyes seemed to penetrate one's heart.

"Alone and isolated ■Alone and isolated ■Standing ■Standing ■Standing ■Standing?■■?■"

Her mother's voice echoed in Tibo's ears. Suddenly, a raging fire burst forth and burned away, leaving only the doll named Tibo alone.

What...what is this?!

I'm so scared... I'm so scared...

Tibo instinctively closed her eyes tightly, trying to force herself to calm down.

A distorted scream rang out—the Tibbo doll was also engulfed in flames.

"Tian...Tinning...!" The sudden turn of events made her forget her fear for a moment. "Mom...what happened...?"

Her mother's voice boomed in her ear, her speech suddenly accelerating, "Run! Run! Run!"

"The Black Tide has arrived at the gates of the city."

[Paimon: Ahhh, Traveler! Paimon is so scared!]

[Ying: Stop pulling my hair, it hurts!]

[Star: Tibbo, your nightmare is so cool. Even in my dreams, as long as you shout "Galaxy Baseball Man," I'll protect you.]

[Danheng: Xing, this is not the time for jokes.]

[Yuzu Leaf: How eerie, how exciting! The immersive experience is the best! Alice, Rin, do you want to come in and try it? It's a lot of fun.]

Alice: I don't want to.

[Rin: Uh… well, Alice and I can skip this. Makka Pakka…]

[Number 11: Blazing Inferno Technique, how do you know my fighting rhythm?]

[Bai'er: Teacher Tibao, are you alright? What are these dreams trying to say? The Black Tide, the Oracle, or us?]

[Aglaia: Bai'er, we'll talk later. Tibo is a little scared right now, I'm going to stay with her and let her rest.]

[Bai Er: Okay, I understand.]

[Tian: You wicked nightmare, get off Tibo! Otherwise, or Tian will kill you with her greatsword!]

[Qingque: Hehe, let me tell you something funny. Just now, Lady Fu Xuan was so startled that she thought no one saw her and left as if nothing had happened.]

[Fu Xuan: Qingque…very good, you even dare to tease your boss now. Hmph, you're promoted one rank.]

[Qingque: I'm so stubborn. My Lord Diviner, my workload is killing me, please calm down.]

[Scott: I don't know how lucky I am. If the company were to promote me, I'd immediately start chanting like the twelve zodiac animals.]

In the blink of an eye, dolls were placed all over the room, without exception, all of them were Tibbers-like dolls of all sizes.

Tibo was at a loss. Where should I...where should I run to?

She took small steps through the gaps between the dolls, feeling a sensation under her feet. "What is this...?!"

More and more red-haired dolls appeared, and within a few steps, they almost covered the ground, floating, lying, and hanging upside down...

"Why...why...are there dolls everywhere...?!"

The baby's cries echoed from all sides of the room, a chilling wind blew, and a cold sensation crept up to the soles of the feet.

Mother: "This is the sacrifice of the saint."

"You are unable to reach the end."

And so it went, one doll after another being consumed by flames and vanishing before Tibo's eyes.

"Only one person can make it to the very end."

“I know…I know…!” Tibo shouted. These were all part of the divine oracle, and she remembered them.

"It's okay if we don't make it to the end... We've made up our minds!"

Even in her extreme fear, she refused to abandon her mission... the future foretold by the oracle...

Chapter 336 The crowd will part ways with one person, for that person will witness a miracle…

"Go say goodbye ■■ Tiris ■■ Pius ■■■"

Time is running out.

Tibby quickly asked, "What...you're leaving, Mommy..."

"Good girl, I won't leave, but remember Tirispius."

As soon as she finished speaking, the scorching flames engulfed her. When she opened her eyes again, all she saw was a vast expanse of white, and her doll was right in front of her.

"The crowd will part from one man, for he will witness miracles—"

"Since your mind is made up, let's cross the Black Tide and dispel the fog for Onpharos..."

Tibo reached out her hand, wanting to hold the doll.

"See you tomorrow, my dear Tirispius."

[Star: Teacher Tibo, is she alright? These dreams are so strange, they're driving me crazy, and this divine oracle...]

[Fireworks: Does that mean only one person survived in the end? Who is it? It's hard to guess, isn't it... Little Brother Bai'er?]

[Bai Er: I will...do my best to carry everyone's wishes into tomorrow.]

Wendy: Those dolls that were burned to ashes were probably the fragments of Tirispios that perished for various reasons after her split. A vague and ethereal oracle became her lifelong faith.

[Ying: Who can argue with that? Because of a prophecy, the daughter of water has been trapped for hundreds of years, and even I cannot bear her loneliness.]

[Tibo: See you tomorrow, everyone! Let's leave all our worries and unpleasantness for tomorrow.]

[Aglaia: See you tomorrow, my teacher.]

[Yanqing: I will be stronger tomorrow. Therefore, "See you tomorrow" is the greatest prophecy!]

[Nicole: Waaah, this is so heartbreaking. In the end, Tibbo even forgot what her mother looked like, only remembering her voice.]

"Mommy...!" Tibby woke up with a start, confused by the alternation between reality and dream. "...Are we still dreaming?"

Aglaia asked softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Maybe. It's been so long since we've dreamed."

Aglaia said with some concern, "You can rest for a long time now, before we even reach the door."

“No…” Tibo shook her head and smiled in response, “Our hearts are still pounding.”

"Perhaps it was that rude old soldier with the suspended blade who frightened Tining, and that affected you as well. If you wish, I can pierce his chest with the golden thread right now." Her tone was icy, as if she were casually clearing away a weed, without any ripples.

Tibo shrank back, "Aya...! Don't always say such scary things..."

"It was a joke. I wouldn't have waited until now if I had to," she laughed, completely unaware that she was telling a scary joke, or that it wasn't a joke at all.

"Phew..." Tibo breathed a sigh of relief. She had just experienced a nightmare, which had really scared her.

[Aglaia: I'm sorry, my teacher, I just wanted to distract you, but now it seems that wasn't the right thing to do.]

[Tibo: We know Aya.]

[Ring: I'm not kidding, but I feel that if Tibo were really interested, Aglaia's golden thread would have already slashed through Craterus's body.]

[Clatrus: That was close! I almost crossed the River Styx.]

[Star: The facts tell us that in Onpharos, please protect Tibo and the others. Otherwise... you will be bound by golden threads, struck by iron fists, and slowly torn apart by a greatsword, and death will be your only fate...]

[Feng Jin: This... Xingbao, it's not that scary. Becoming a test subject isn't bad.]

"Would you like to talk about that dream? If it lingers in your heart for too long, it can easily lead to illness," Aglaia said gently.

“We… dreamed about Mom.” Tibo considered Aya family and wouldn’t hide it from her. “However, the dream itself is nothing… it’s just that having a dream at this time for no reason is a little unsettling.”

"Do you mean……"

“…It’s Tian.” She replied. Tian only had one more chance to open the Hundred Realms Gate, and she was in danger. “Even if we never use the power of the Hundred Realms Gate again from now on…her soul is slowly drifting away from her body.”

"Time... is probably running out."

Aglaia paused for a moment, "Perhaps... letting her relinquish her duties as a doorkeeper early, and live out her days as an ordinary child without a care in the world, wouldn't be such a bad thing."

Tibo shook her head. "I understand your thoughts, Aya. But on this matter... we've already made up our minds."

"I think there's still room for maneuver in this matter." If it weren't absolutely necessary, Aglaia wouldn't want to see her teacher, who had been with her for so long, disappear.

“Our souls wear down until they return to dust; that is our fate.” Tibo accepted it calmly. “Once, we also had complete, connected bodies. If we compare that body to a tree, then the trunk and branches will wither away at the same rate, due to fate.”

"Now, we are divided into many versions of ourselves... Although we have lost the trunk, we have gained another option... We can decide in the most effective way for our journey to the fire how the branches and leaves decay."

Aglaia lowered her eyes, her gaze dimming. "It's more heartbreaking than saying goodbye to one person... to watch many people disappear before my eyes."

Tibo smiled, "But... after all, moving forward is the inevitable result of Janus's Trial, and we have never had a way back."

"Don't be sad about saying goodbye to us—we made a promise long ago, didn't we?"

Becoming a demigod is both a blessing and a curse. Except for Bai E, all the Golden Descendants must pay the price and eventually go to the River Styx and the Sea of ​​Flowers. No one can escape their fate.

Aglaia lamented, "It won't be long before I can't taste sadness anymore."

[Saifeier: Seamstress, look at me! The new dress you made for me got torn by accident. Could you mend it for me?]

[Aglaia: Sefaria, I'm not as fragile as you think. Besides... the tailor saw that you tore it yourself, so tell me... how should I punish you?]

[Saifei: Well, then I'll reluctantly spend the day with you. Let the Savior handle the political affairs; it's time for him to take on the responsibility after all these years.]

[Bai'er: So? Haha, don't worry, you can relax and play with Aglaia for a few days. Although I'm not very skilled yet, Xing will help me, right?]

[Star: Ah...when did I agree to that?]

【Bai E: Partner~】

[Star: Sigh, what can I do? Who can resist a humanoid Samoyed that knows how to be affectionate? Strike a few poses for me to take pictures, and I'll show them to March 7th later.]

[Walter: Limited Edition Photos—The Savior's Pout, Whitebeard's Smile. Star, send me a few when they're released, I'll send them to my friends back home.]

"Aya, what do you want for breakfast?" Tibo asked, trying to change the subject.
