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

She wasn't blaming Bai Er, but rather informing him of the consequences of each choice and guiding him to grow.

"But regarding your assessment of improving efficiency... I'm afraid you're right. Let's put his problem aside for now; the most pressing issue is the cultivation of the Oronis seed, which is particularly troublesome."

"The Golden Blood originally had a strategy regarding the order of the return of the Fire. For those Titans who would not actively harm humanity—such as Oronis and Serhith… we planned to take over their divine office last."

"But this anomaly disrupted everything."

Tibo nodded, worriedly saying, "If we don't return the fire to the center of the vortex, and leave the Titan's divine position vacant... who knows what kind of calamity will occur!"

"But the biggest problem now is that we haven't found a Golden Child who can take on the divine duties of Oronis."

Indeed, even the oracle that guided the Golden Clan did not record the children of the succession. Although there were many Golden Clan members, only a few were destined to be born.

[Star: Hey hey hey, isn't it my turn to shine? The Divine Power of Time seems tailor-made for me! My strength has improved by leaps and bounds, partner, looks like I'm even faster than you!]

[Bai'er: But Onpharos has always been ruled by the Golden Clan. Of course, I'm not questioning you, my friend. You are extraterrestrials; if you were to assume divine authority, you might be subject to Onpharos, or even manipulated by Lygus.]

[Aglaia: This matter still needs to be discussed; we can't let you take the risk.]

[Walter: March 7th is deeply involved, but we won't give up. If necessary, as the parent of the Star Train, I can try first.]

*Bronya: Is Professor Welt going to inherit Cesis's divine authority? He's rational, so it should be quite a good fit.*

[Feng Jin: Perhaps it really is feasible. Although Teacher Xia sacrificed herself at that moment, Cesis's divine power still remains. If it can really succeed...]

[Star: So... I inherited the years, Uncle Yang inherited rationality, Danheng inherited the ocean, and if March 7th can also inherit one, then there are twelve Onpharos Fire Seeds, and our Starry Sky Train will account for one-third of them.]

[Hanabi: Good grief, you're planning to replace all the Titans with outsiders, aren't you? I see you're already getting into it. After Onpharos ends, how about coming to Edo for a visit?]

[Star: I almost forgot about Himeko and Pam. What can she inherit?]

[Bai'er: Cough cough, partner... If Onpharos can be defeated successfully, I'll give you all the Fire Seeds, but let's not enter the illusionary moment now.]

[Black Tower: Don't worry, although Laigus is the administrator of Onpharos, the Spark is the underlying operating logic, so even if he wanted to interfere, it would be difficult for him to do so.]

Aglaia nodded. "Bai'e, Wan Di, Xia Die, Feng Jin... My master and I searched for them in the world for a thousand years before finally finding them."

“One in ten thousand qualified individuals, the leaders among the Golden Blood—if we are not certain that these people possess the potential to bear divine authority, my master and I would never extend an invitation.”

"To force ordinary people to perform this duty is tantamount to sending them to the gallows."

The rule prohibiting outsiders from entering the core of creation is also the same. If Kratos had not been strong and determined, he would probably have already fallen into the trials of conflict.

Bai E shook his head helplessly, "This is really a headache..."

“Then…” Mimi suddenly popped up, “Should we let Xing give it a try?”

Looking at the adorable Mimi, Xing couldn't resist being mischievous, saying, "The owner is not responsible for what the pet says."

Mimi stamped her foot, "I'm serious! Everyone knows you have a special meaning to Onpharos. And Eulonis..."

"You projected me into this world, gave me this body, isn't that just like that Titan baby who's even more willful than a child!"

[Silver Wolf: Why don't you just give in? Look how anxious Mimi is.]

[Mimi: Exactly, exactly, they begged you like that.]

[Star: I'm a little panicked. What if the Fire Seed and the Star Core start fighting? What if the Fire Seed gets swallowed up...?]

[Bai E: Uh… actually, becoming a demigod mainly involves inheriting divine power; the spark will be returned to the core of creation.]

[Star: I have a great idea! Why don't we let Mimi inherit it? It's about my pet being a Titan, and it's pretty cool, isn't it?]

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Marble Palace.

Clatrus, covered in wounds, gazed at the distant cliffs, knowing he might never return.

Wan Di slowly approached, his heart filled with concern while his words were haughty, "Even Death has abandoned you, my master."

"Hmph, it merely entrusted my life to the Court of Twilight." Kratrus spoke weakly, his aged face covered in scars. "That priestess's medical skills... are not simple. She may be far more naive than you and I think."

“But my affairs are not important. Medemos, I saw it… In the end, you still embraced your destiny.”

Wan Di could not deny it. "Now... the power of conflict surges within me. My bones have turned to steel, and my blood is burning and boiling. All the dead of the past could only look up to this power, but I... have become one with it."

He strode forward, his eyes arrogant and defiant, declaring, "I made history. After me, gods and kings will coexist."

“That’s right, you have fulfilled the ambitions of every former king of Suspended Peak.” Kratrus was proud of him; the king of Suspended Peak had returned!

"Now, you can finally lead your people back home and restore the glory of Xuanfeng."

Wan Di's words were precise: "...Unfortunately, I had no such intention."

Clatrus panicked, ignoring his injuries, and hurriedly asked, "What...does this mean?"

You should know that everything he did was for Wan Di to lead his people back to their homeland. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of Wan Di's words.

Wan Di's gaze swept over the tribesmen living peacefully in the city. "More than two thousand years ago, people who worshipped the power of Nicardo gathered at its foot and established a city-state. The Suspended Blade people have since become the blade of the god of war, following in the footsteps of the Titans to conquer all directions."

"But now, as I look down on this history from the perspective of God—I finally see everything clearly."

Chapter 349 The End/The New Beginning

"This is an absurd and despicable history. People rushed to the battlefield like ants, greedily plundering and killing, and like ants... were trampled upon."

"The city-state, faith, and so-called tradition that Suspense is so proud of... are nothing more than an anthill that can be easily crumbled in its eyes."

“You…” Kratrus couldn’t refute, but he wouldn’t accept it. “Do you want to strip the Hanging Edge Clan of their millennia-old pride with just a few words?!”

"—That pride is worthless, Kratos." The All-Enemy had made up his mind. "Now, I have taken over the divine authority of strife. And what follows…"

"I will relinquish the title of so-called king."

The words echoed in his ears, and Kratrus trembled uncontrollably. "...No, no!"

Wan Di looked on resolutely, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes. "Pass my words on to every member of the Suspended Peak. I command you."

He wanted to do what the Mountain People did and completely end the corrupt rule of the Suspended Peak Dynasty.

Craterus pleaded, "Don't do this, Medemus... I beg you!"

As a soldier, he set aside his dignity at this moment; the only thing that could crush him was the shattering of his faith.

Even so, Wan Di would not change. He strode forward, his gaze fixed on his people living in Ohma. It was time to sever their hopes.

The last king of the Suspended Peak... Medemos.

"From the year 2506 of the Light Calendar to the year 4931 of the Light Calendar, I, Medemos, the last tyrant of Suspended Peak City, son of Goergo, hereby declare—"

"Today, the Suspended Edge Dynasty officially comes to an end."

Why, why is this happening? Kratrus's mind was buzzing, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded. He pounded his head, as if trying to clear his head, thinking it must be his imagination.

[Clatrus: Medemus... Alas, though I had expected it, seeing this scene now fills me with a mix of emotions. A lifetime of glory, earned through struggle and conquest, has come to an end with the dynasty.]

[Fou: Wan Di is definitely a wise ruler. If it weren't for the perilous situation on Onpharos and the rampant Black Tide, he would have been able to govern the dynasty very well.]

[Bai E: Indeed, Xuanfeng Ren genuinely respects Wan Di; he is a born king and warrior.]

[Qingque: For the first time, I felt the relentless march of history, how a glorious peak crumbled in an instant.]

[Sunday: To make the decision to end a dynasty, Mr. Wan Di's awareness is far beyond that of ordinary people; he possesses unique insights and a long-term vision.]

Billy: Greatness needs no further explanation!

[Yanqing: I must say, Mr. Wan Di's announcement was incredibly cool. His path to kingship wasn't about ruling, but about protecting; he is the king in the hearts of the people of Onphalus.]

[Tibo: Little enemy, we'll always be behind you.]

[Star: Count me in! Although I've been giving you all the spotlight lately, I'm glad you broke with tradition.]

[Walter: He redefined conflict; the fight was not for the sake of fighting, but for resistance, revolution, and rebirth. However, it's increasingly in line with the Hunting Movement.]

[Ling: So the Emperor's Bow didn't even bother to take a look. If Wan Di becomes the Hunting Envoy, Lai Gu Shi will be in for a rough time.]

The Suspended Dynasty has ended...

“You killed us…” Kratrus lost control of his emotions, “You killed all of us…”

As he announced the end of the dynasty, Wan Di's cold and indifferent face melted into a smile. "No, I have granted you new life."

Even if given another chance, he would still choose to end the dynasty.

He took out his mother's gold ring.

Clatrus asked in bewilderment, "This is..."

"My mother's mark. It was once a symbol of royalty, but now I will give it a new meaning." More than before, now, Wan Di is more like a king, a god who single-handedly protects all people!

"Take it, and gather those who have lost their identity. Tell them that Medemus, who has ascended to the divine throne, proclaims to the world—"

"You no longer need to pursue fleeting honors, nor should you regard dying in battle as your only destiny. But you must change and integrate into this city-state that once watched you with indifference."

"Onphalus will face a cruel tomorrow. With a formidable enemy at hand, even the most glorious dynasty will be nothing but a pile of rubble."

"But you will embark on the only way out, and at its end will be a brand new world."

Bennett: After the arrow is pulled out, the wound will hurt and bleed, but new flesh will grow, covering the original scar, and the body will be reborn.

[Yanqing: Brother Ban, it seems you have gained quite a bit of insight.]

[Bennett: Haha, I've just gotten so many injuries from bad luck that I've learned a thing or two about treating wounds.]

Wendy: When did you two meet?

[Yanqing: I was fortunate to meet him in the Challenge Space and we cleared the Thunderclap dungeon together.]

[Nicole: I, Nicole, don't admire many people, but Wan Di is one of them. He truly cares for his people.]

Clatrus's voice was hoarse as he said helplessly, "Why do you want me to be your mouthpiece? Why don't you go and explain all this to them yourself?"

“Because the path that people choose to walk can only be guided by people themselves. Not by those who covet the power of the gods and fall into madness…” Wan Di’s gaze swept over the soldiers guarding Ohma, and finally looked at Kratrus.

"But rather, it is those who are willing to raise their shields to protect the lives behind them."

Because he was also one who was willing to raise his shield to protect Tian.

Clatrus felt ashamed, "I couldn't save that child."

“That’s not important.” Wan Di shook his head. “As fellow demigods, they have long been aware of this.”

"The important thing is that you'll be there—standing in front of her."

Kratrus paused for a moment, then said, "That night, was it you who persuaded Aglaia to release me...? Medemos?"

"She won't give in that easily. What are your terms?"

“I staked my mother’s reputation on you, assuring her of your unwavering spirit. And… I promised her that I would dedicate everything to the journey to the fire.”

“And now, Medemos?” Kratrus looked at him. “Where…are you going?”

“Go and fulfill my promise, return to where I belong. That madness that torments Nicardoli, that darkness that devours all of Onpharos…”

Wan Di opened his eyes wide and said, "Now, it's my turn to fight him."

[Billy: That's a great line. I'll memorize it; maybe it'll come in handy someday.]

[Nicole: Tch, stop trying to look cool, Billy. I really don't understand how a robot can have such smooth emotional changes.]

[Bai'er: The Golden Blood are the protectors of Onfaros. Our methods differ, but our goals are the same!]

[Yae no Miko: This echoes the earlier events. Craterus, as a human, fearlessly protected the Golden Clan, while Wan Di, as a demigod, rushed to the front lines to protect everyone.]

[Jepard: Beloberg was once invaded by rift creatures. No god came to save us; only soldiers who fought to the last breath, unafraid of death.]

[Topa: Isn't Onpharos a microcosm of our galaxy, with its star gods high above defining destiny? I even suspect that the so-called end of the universe is caused by them.]

[Gold dust: Cough cough.]

Chapter 350 Farewell

Before leaving Ohm, Wan Di prepared to say goodbye to the others.

“You’ve come, Medmos…” Aglaia smiled. “It seems you’re ready.”

“You have helped Ohma through yet another difficult time, and words cannot express my gratitude.”

Wan Di's expression was cold. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

“Not everything went according to plan.” Aglaia seemed unconcerned; being suspected was normal. “In today’s world, I can only proceed cautiously. Besides…”

"Even without any promises to me, you're ready to give everything, aren't you?"

It must be said that Aglaia knows every Goldenborn person inside and out.
