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

Aglaia was stunned. "What? How could this happen so suddenly..."

"We've been chatting for so long, I'm a little hungry. Besides, we're almost at the door." Tibo said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"Speaking of which, Aya, do you remember? It must have been not long after we met, you were still a little one, and we caught you sneaking some oatmeal porridge in the middle of the night..."

Chapter 337 The Fire-Stealing Walker with Severe Shedding

[Xianyun: Speaking of which, I also have a story about Gan Yu's childhood. When she was little, she...]

Gan Yu: Master!!

[Star: So Aglaia was a little glutton when she was little! I like her even more now.]

[Saifeier: Aya, you didn't tell me anything. Sister Tibao, does she have any dark history? Tell me quickly.]

[Aglaia: ...]

[Bell: I know what you guys want to say. Humanity +1]

[Aglaia with emotions is practically Meneta reincarnated! There's a reason she's considered a romantic demigod.]

[Magic trick: That's it? Although I don't know what conflict she and I had in your reincarnation, I really don't like her personality.]

[Abao: I need you to like it? Heh... I heard you have a soft spot for earth beasts. How about I knit you a whole set of clothes, pillows, pajamas... everything you could want, all printed with earth beasts? My request isn't much, just beg me to say Aglaia is the most beautiful.]

[Aglaia: Uh… Was I really that reckless back then?]

[Tibo: Aya, you're a rich young lady, this is probably only because you're restraining yourself.]

[Magic Techniques: Magic Techniques!]

Aglaia was dejected, filled with sorrow. "Ah... my emotions are fading, but those fragments—I remember them all, my teacher."

"I'll go. What would you like to eat?"

Wendy: She lost her shyness, anger, and joy... leaving only a trace of grief. To view memories so rationally is itself a profound form of suffering.

[Tibo: Aya.]

"No need, no need, leave it to us." Tibo quickly waved her hand. "You rest for a while, it'll be quick, we'll call you when we're ready."

She nodded, "...Okay, then I'll trouble you."

“Well…see you tomorrow morning, Aya!” Tibo said with a smile.

But after Aglaia left, her brow furrowed, a vague unease settling in her heart. The previous nightmare was a bad omen; her memories were becoming increasingly hazy, even her mother's face was becoming indistinct…

She looked out the window; they needed to go to the Abyss of Fate. Hopefully, Oronis would be willing to help them.

[Qingque: Ugh, ever since Bai E and Wan Di's bath, the plot has gotten so heavy, I'm almost losing my appetite for playing cards.]

[Fu Xuan: That's true. Where in the world is there so much happiness? The War of the Gods is about to begin, and who knows how many civilizations will perish because of it. For the sake of the Luofu Immortal Ship, get to work!]

[Star: Speaking of which, I almost forgot about Oronis.]

Meanwhile, somewhere in Ohma.

"Teacher Xia, it's been a long time."

"Who are you?" Xia looked at Bai E behind him and pretended not to recognize him. Besides, Bai E had graduated many years ago, so why should he remember him clearly?

Bai Er patted his chest, looking proud. "It's been a long time. I'm the student who overturned the classroom in the class on the physics of the soul."

"Oh, it's you."

Bai E was surprised, "No way, teacher, I just said it casually...you really remember this?"

"I still remember your glib tongue." Xia cut straight to the point. "What do you want from me? It's not just to catch up, is it?"

"You've noticed all this?"

"Of course, you only resort to such roundabout methods when you have ulterior motives." As a teacher, he had long understood Bai E's personality.

“Not at all. I’ve come here with the sincere intention of seeking your guidance, as always…” Bai’e smiled awkwardly, then became serious. “Please do not hesitate to enlighten me: everything you know about that black-robed swordsman.”

Xia said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, rumors spread really fast."

"Unfortunately, I know nothing about it either. All I can tell you is that it wears a black robe and wields a heavy sword... probably a heavy sword, shaped like a distorted half-sun..."

"There is also a strange dagger, shaped like a crescent moon."

Bai Er frowned, reconstructing its appearance and weapons in his memory.

[Star: Wait a minute! Twisted sun, I just realized, the pattern on the Fire Thief Walker looks so similar to Bai E, it's like...]

[Walter: Turning to the dark side. Is he going to follow Kevin's path?]

[Bai E: Hey, hey, we're completely unrelated. Besides, he destroyed my hometown along with the Black Tide. Even if he's turned evil, I would never harm anyone in the Ai Li Secret Pavilion.]

[Rin: Now that you mention it, I'm starting to doubt the black-robed swordsman's identity. He doesn't seem to be a product of the Black Tide, yet he seems quite familiar with Onphaross compared to the Golden Descendants.]

[Fufu: I have a bold guess. Bai'er eventually became the savior, but because of Lai Gushi, the re-creation of the world was impossible. Afterwards, he returned with his memories to seize the fire, preventing the re-creation from happening.]

[Star: Wow, that's amazing! That's what I was thinking too.]

[Bai'e: Impossible... It must be fake. You've all guessed wrong. I'm definitely not the Fire Thief.]

[Aglaia: Calm down, Bai'er. Are you afraid? Are you hesitating? The fate of everyone in Onpharos rests on your shoulders. Even if it does, you must continue. You... are not alone.]

[Wan Di: Ha... Haven't you figured out your own path yet?]

[Xia Die: Lord Bai E, only you have the chance to defy fate. If you truly become the Fire Thief, it is the answer that best suits Onphalus's future, and no one will blame you.]

“Oh, right, take this—” Nashi Xia took out a piece of black cloth, “It’s a trophy I got during the sneak attack, it’s yours.”

Bai E's gaze deepened, his brows furrowing. "There's no mistake... it's this one. The one who burned down the Ai Li Secret Pavilion... the murderer who killed everyone."

[Fireworks: Haha, he's shedding fur everywhere! If he keeps picking it up, Aglaia could sew it up into a new black robe.]

[Robin: I was just getting into the story, and what you said has completely ruined my mood!]

At that moment, Xia's expression turned cold. "I advise you not to try to be a hero. Right now, no one can rival Ohmma."

"Did that Titan [Rationality] say the same thing?" Bai Er confirmed repeatedly.

He sneered, "Hmph, not at first, but after experiencing its power, it had to admit defeat. Even if I were possessed by a god, I would still find it difficult to withstand its blade..."

"That incredible power doesn't seem like a blessing from you and a Titan."

After a moment's thought, "You want to claim...it came from outside Onphalus?"

“It’s not impossible,” Natsumi suggested. “Just like the Black Tide, isn’t it?”

"...In any case, that is an enemy we must defeat," Bai Er vowed.

“Us?” Xia scoffed. “Don’t be delusional, Bai’e. Nobody wants to see you die by its sword.”

Bai E argued forcefully, "As long as that guy is around, he will threaten the Holy City and the journey of chasing fire."

Upon hearing this, Xia's expression turned cold. "You know I don't believe you at all—"

In his eyes, the Titans were nothing more than creatures without special abilities, and the oracle was nothing but empty talk, a joke that didn't even exist.

Chapter 338 Delicious Saffron

“I know you don’t believe in so-called divine pronouncements,” Bai’er clenched his fist. “But I’m seeking your help not on the orders of Aglaia or Tibo…”

"I only wish to rid the city-state I swore to protect of of one scourge, nothing more. The tragedy of Tree Court must never be repeated."

Now that things had come to this, Xia wasn't deliberately trying to make things difficult for him. She waved her hand, gesturing, "Sit down. Since you're so sincere in seeking my guidance..."

"Then I'll tell you something else."

Bai E's brow relaxed, and he smiled as he chatted with the teacher.

[Fou: I almost forgot, the Fire-Stealing Walker could also be from the outside world, which means my previous deduction was wrong. This is so hard to figure out, what exactly is he?!]

[Bai Er: As expected of Teacher Na Kexia, I dare say that Onphalus has no scholar more intelligent than him.]

[Feng Jin: I wonder which student it was, who even tried to ask Teacher Xia for extra points back then so they wouldn't fail. Haha, do you remember, Xia Die?]

[Xia Die: Uh… if I remember correctly, it's—Lord Bai E.]

[Star: Tsk tsk tsk, buddy, so you were once a student struggling to pass the exams too. I really want to experience your school days, but unfortunately I don't. Ah well, I was born knowing.]

Oh no, I really want to hit you!

[Damn it, I just started school these past two days, why do I have classes every single day! I envy those days on the Star Train.]

Soon after, fate dealt them another cruel blow.

The three little Tibos were all here, with the dilapidated Temple of Janus behind them, where Eulonis was located.

“Ugh…” Tian was in some pain.

Tibo took her arm. "What's wrong, Tian?"

Her voice was weak, "It's nothing! It's just... I was thinking about Shuting again."

"The monster in the black cloak is terrifying. Everyone, we're in danger... It's a nightmare we can't forget."

"Sweetheart...there are no bad people here." Tibo tried her best to soothe her. "Tian, ​​didn't you protect everyone with the Hundred Realms Gate?"

When the Fire Thief was mentioned, Tian became very animated, her voice rising several octaves, "Tian, ​​threw it far, far away, so it can never come back."

Seeing that it was effective, Tibo continued to praise, "The journey to Tree Garden is all thanks to Tian. It is thanks to you that the Fire Chasing Journey was able to continue smoothly."

Tian was momentarily dazed. "I'm sorry, Tian... I'm a little dizzy. Why did we come here?"

“Of course, it’s for the same reason,” Tibo explained patiently. “Remember? Tomorrow, we’re going to reveal the past of the oracle to everyone.”

"But before that, we must first clear away the memories that have become clouded by division. We hope to present the truth to everyone as it is, without concealing anything."

"But the division is ultimately Janus's influence, and only Eulonis, who is also a Titan, can help us."

Tinning reminded her, "And... don't forget to prepare breakfast for Aya tomorrow morning."

Tian regained her energy. "Oh! That's how it is, Tian remembers everything!"

“Speaking of which…we’d better prepare some saffron before we meet the Titans,” Tinin said unhurriedly.

“Saffron?” Tibo thought for a moment. “Oh…that’s a necessary item for the Triad Temple’s sacrificial rites. You don’t think you can go to see Euronis empty-handed?”

“Yes. It’s also one of the symbols of Janusapolis. If we’re going to recreate those memories, we’d better have something that’s been around for a while as a base…” Tinin smiled, as if she was remembering something.

"And, when we first met Aya, we put this in the porridge we made for her, and she loved it."

Tian looked up at the sky, "So that's how it is, killing three birds with one stone!"

Tinin said with concern, "However... the premise is that Oronis is willing to help us."

This is indeed a problem. Back then, they were the ones who stole the fire from Janus, the closest relative of Euronis… Hopefully, this journey will go smoothly; otherwise, with their remaining strength, they won't be able to do anything to the Titans.

Tian's eyes narrowed into crescents. "Then, you can hand it over to Tian. Tian is the best at playing the victim!"

[Aglaia: My teacher, it's just breakfast; you don't need to trouble yourselves for me. And Tian, ​​you need to get some rest.]

[Tining: We promised Aya...we will do our best to fulfill our promise, and we will keep our word.]

[Paimon: Hehe, in the eyes of the three teachers, Aglaia is still the same little girl she always was.]

[Ling: I highly recommend watching this; I want to know more about Tibo and the others' stories with Aglaia. Even the slice-of-life ones are great.]

[Little Candle: I feel sorry for you, Lord Destiny. From the very beginning of the Fire Chase to the second Fire Chase led by Aglia, you participated in it all. Your remaining memories are less than those of a child.]

Tibo: It's alright. From the moment we received divine authority, our future was already predetermined. And we've witnessed the growth of every Golden Child; we're very content.

[Huo Huo: Tail, I also want to overcome my fear and help Judge Snowcoat.]

[Grandpa Tail: You? I think you're... great, I support you. (I really can't stand seeing this little girl cry.)]

The three of them walked into the temple with small steps, the lights flickering and the view dim.

"There is no way forward—turn back, my master." Aglaia's phantom blocked the road.

Tibo was startled. What? Aya… no, hallucination?

"Hold on to me, Tibao, Tining." Tian shielded the two behind her and continued forward.

Before the miracle of time, Tian marveled at the vastness of the space, while Tibao and Tining talked about what had just happened.

"Tining, what you just did..."

"Yes, I see it. Is that... Eulonis warning us?"
