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

With his back to the two, he took a step forward. "It's time to knock on the gates of the underworld. I will set up a long table at the end of that road and await your arrival..."

"Let's drink and have fun then."

[Bai E: You two truly live up to your reputation as figures embroiled in inheritance disputes; your personalities are remarkably similar.]

[Wan Di: Warriors fear no death; for us, death only brings glory. Xia Die, do not falter; the Golden Blood will always stand behind you.]

[Feng Jin: Butterfly, death never represents misfortune.]

[Star: That's right, just like our pioneering team's journey from the space station to Onpharos, pioneering never stops.]

[Xia Die: I understand, thank you everyone. Hehe, now it's my turn to dedicate myself to Zhu Huo. May all future deaths bring only warmth.]

[Aglaia: Go, butterfly. We'll meet again in the new world.]

[Tibo: Little Butterfly, Tian wants to give you a gift. We're waiting for you in the Garden of Life.]

In the pitch-black scene, Polycia sighed softly, "Finally... this day has come."

At the heart of the cosmic vortex, Calypso stood before the two young women. "Are you both ready?"

“Yes. Polycia…” Xia Die smiled, “...I’m here.”

Xia Die, who was watching with Xia Ke, was startled. "What, this..."

"Heh, this is truly... intriguing," Serhith chuckled, having roughly guessed the reason behind the scene.

Xia Die: "This is... Polycia's older sister...? Me...?"

The butterfly from the past smiled at her younger sister and said, "Now...it's our turn to keep our promise." Seeing her sister lower her head, she asked softly, "...Are you afraid?"

"afraid of what?"

"I...can't do it."

"You will wither, and the dead will sprout from the remnants, and the fire that died with you will be reborn..." The butterfly had already seen through it all. "As the prophecy says, we have also promised to face the moment of our destiny."

The younger sister retorted, "Even if it's a prophecy... does that mean we have to just accept it? That's so unfair! Why must we be the only ones killing each other?"

She suddenly looked up and said earnestly, "Let me do it, sister! Let me be the sacrifice for death. I was already going to die soon... but you are different..."

"It's me...it's me who wasted your life."

Xia Die smiled indulgently and shook her head, "No, Polycia."

"I don't feel like I've wasted my life. On the contrary, when I finally reached the end and looked back, I found that the road I came from was already full of flowers..."

"It was you who planted this sea of ​​flowers for me, which is more beautiful than the promised land at the ends of the earth."

Chapter 394 Stikocia

"Besides, my life is already complete. Even if language dictates sacrifice, everything I've experienced will not disappear, but will live on forever in your memories, won't it?"

With a sob in her voice, Polycia said, "How could the you in my memories be the real you...?"

Xia Die looked at her tenderly, "Then, tell me... what exactly are we?"

She thought for a long time, "I...don't know..."

“I can’t say for sure either,” Xia Die said, grasping her hand. “But…whatever the answer may be, no matter how we are shaped by others, by the world—”

"From the moment we were born, our existence was predetermined, and nothing can erase it. And that is why I will always, always be with you..."

"After all, we're twins by nature."

A single, glistening tear rolled down her cheek, and a suppressed sob escaped Polycia's throat, faint and trembling.

"Alright, my dear Polycia... take out my heart and ignite the flame of death. Then, with it, sow the first bud in the new world promised by language."

Witnessing this scene, Xia Die felt a deep sorrow welling up in her heart, moved by thoughts spanning millions of years.

[Xia Die: My… sister. If I should have died, why have I been reborn? What price did she pay? Was it really worth it?]

[Magic trick: Worth it. Because you are twins by birth, the bond between family members is even stronger. Since I'm willing to sacrifice my eyesight to see my sister again, she's willing to give everything for you.]

[Xia Die: Polycia...wait for me.]

[Star: Butterfly, are you alright?]

[Xia Die: Your Excellency, please rest assured. Death has lost its proper duty because of me; now it is my turn to reclaim divine authority and liberate this world from its pain. Also, I wish to see her one more time.]

[Qingque: Alas, must the trial of death force someone to perish? A predetermined fate—isn't this fate playing tricks on the world?]

Fu Xuan: ...Master.

[Wendy: The Butterfly embodies death, while Polycia brings life; this is the complete divine right of death.]

[Ring: Waaaa, Onpharos is killing me!]

Calypso: "If I were to pass on the art of alchemy to you... would you use it for someone you cherish, to bring them back to life?"

In the darkness, the girl sighed softly.

"Mortals will all die eventually. In the future, there will definitely be people I cherish more who leave me... If there really is such a great power, I should... use it without hesitation."

"To this day, my answer remains unchanged."

"So, sister, I promise you. In the world promised by the prophecy, I will plant the first bud for you—"

"Let's go back, back to the jewel in the eye of the ocean god, our homeland."

“I will open the gates of the underworld for you and grant you a second life. The creatures of the earth will respond to my call and bring you into the holy daylight.”

"Remember, do not look back at the land of death, do not stop your steps. In the new world promised by prophecy, walk toward the life that is yours..."

"As for the cost of an equivalent exchange... I will pay for it."

[Jing Yuan: I must have gotten up early. I saw Dan Feng's shadow. I'd do anything to extend your life.]

[Danheng: If anything happens to March 7th and Xing, I will give everything.]

[Jing Yuan: Remember... your name is Dan Heng, the guardian of the Star Train. Forge ahead, and I hope you can forge a completely different path to immortality.]

[Magic Technique: Heh, alchemy indeed has even greater potential; the Titans can resurrect living beings. The Iron Tomb sees us as nourishment, so could we reverse this through alchemical arrays and use the Iron Tomb as the cornerstone for building a new world?]

[Little Candle: Crazy enough, I love it.]

[Sai Fei'er: That summer is still that summer, and the cycle of reincarnation is always the same.]

[Mimi: That's not necessarily true. Maybe in some reincarnation, there's still that Xia who was a general.]

[Star: This is hilarious, but it's all just unofficial history.]

"Gentlemen, this is the end." At that moment, Xia Zheng addressed the two with a regretful expression. "Unfortunately, my affinity with the Supreme God is not good, and I was unable to completely fuse this fellow's soul into my own. However, to have gleaned these insights from this is still quite exhilarating—"

"There's no mistake: before the Titans, as the world knows them, a group of heroes traversed the land. Heeding prophecies, they took over divine authority one by one, eventually becoming the gods of the new world..."

"Just like today's journey to seek fire—the history of Onphalus is a cycle."

Even Ceres, after witnessing it, was shocked. "So the demigod who bears the fire will also become a new Titan at the end of the world and recreate the world?"

At that moment, Xia affirmed, "I believe this is the truth of the re-creation in the oracle."

“It’s…unbelievable.” Xia Die couldn’t help but sigh. “And, those twins from the past…even if they were Cenatos himself, they’re still nowhere to be found…”

"Are they truly nowhere to be found?" Xia asked rhetorically. "That Polycia mentioned it, didn't she? A small seaside town where the fairy tales of alchemy and dragons were born..."

“Stikosia—in our world, there is also a city-state that perfectly fits this description.”

After being reminded, Xia Die immediately understood what the teacher meant by city-state.

However, "they worship the Fagina [ocean] there, and have no connection with Senatos. I have never been there either; during my time in Aedria... it is now a buried ruin."

At that moment, Xia took out a seemingly ordinary pebble, "...Take it."

"This is……"

He explained: "The Philosopher's Stone is a masterpiece of the School of the Wise, an entity forged from the flesh and blood of wise men, using all their wisdom."

“Remember? I spoke of the art of alchemy, of transformation, refinement, and ascension. The same applies to the pursuit of truth. No matter how unbelievable, the truth of the world has been refined from impurities.”

"Think of the dragon tales—this stone will surely guide you back to your true homeland, rebuild the gates of the underworld, and find the whereabouts of Cenatos."

[Xia Die: Death is there, isn't it? I trust my teacher's judgment. Lady Aglaia, I will set off immediately to complete the trial of death.]

[Aglaia: Do I need someone to assist me?]

[Star: I'll go. With my pioneering wisdom, I guarantee a smooth journey.]

[Xia Die: Your Excellency... thank you.]

[Danheng: I'm with Xing. I'm a little worried that the Fire-Stealing Walker might suddenly attack; he hasn't shown up for quite some time.]

[Bai'er: I'm so sorry, Xia Die, but as the leader of the Golden Clan, it's inconvenient for me to leave Ohma. Otherwise, I would definitely have gone with you.]

[Saifeier: Savior, you'd better stay in the Holy City. No one knows it better than me, but that'll cost you extra.]

[Aglaia: Sefaria?]

[Sai Fei'er: Hmph, fine, fine, if it weren't for the fact that you have so little humanity left, I wouldn't listen to you. Seamstress, hold on, I will definitely find a way to buy you some time.]

[Abao: Sharp tongue but soft heart, an adorable kitten.]

Chapter 395 Seeds of Doubt

"You still seem so confident of victory. But what if you're wrong?"

Xia didn't care at that moment and casually said, "That's simple, just admit to the world that the experiment failed. But my thoughts will never fail, because I have sown the seeds of doubt in everyone's heart."

"Prove it with your actions, Xia Die. The resolution is about to begin, don't forget your promise."

She nodded slightly. "I've already gone through a long search. I don't mind trying again. As we talk, Xing's life is also slipping away second by second..."

Before I leave, I have one more question: what exactly was everything we just saw...?

At that moment, Xia was silent for a moment, "That is the world imprinted in Kefaller's soul."

"If you want to prove it, you must write the final step. Go ahead, and don't let me down."

After responding, Xia Die left the summit of Dawn Cloud Cliff first.

Serhith looked at Naksha, "Hey, Son of Man..."

“Don’t be impatient, I’ve always remembered your question,” he answered first. “I’m a scholar, and I don’t want to, and can’t, give ambiguous conclusions. Let’s talk about this again after she finds the evidence.”

"I just want to say: that pebble was forged from your heart, wasn't it? You... can never be brought back to life."

“Why not?” At that moment, Xia’s eyes held no desire for life, only a resolute pursuit of truth. “I lost my loved ones when I was young, abandoned my faith when I was young, and although you recently saved my life, I have still lost my soul…”

"It's just another matter of abandoning the physical body, why make such a fuss?"

Cecilia couldn't understand, "Why rush to your death? Isn't it better to be alive?"

"It is merely a necessary sacrifice in the transformation into the purest being."

"Ha, can the dead be called the purest?" As a rational Titan, she couldn't keep up with Nashia's thoughts. "If your conjecture is proven, wouldn't that confirm the truth of the myth and render your theory useless?"

A confident smile played on his lips. "No, quite the opposite. If my guess comes true... then it means that I can ascend to the throne of God and reshape the absurd world you created."

[Star: From now on, please call me Na Ke Xia, the new generation of rational Titan, and give me all the Earth Beasts I love! Gods don't need respect, history needs to be questioned, and romance is absolutely forbidden.]

[Magic trick: Uh…no need for that.]

[Ying: In that cool moment, Professor Xia showed me a pure scholar.]

[Xia Die: The Philosopher's Stone is actually his heart! The teacher really doesn't cherish his body... sacrificing his eyes, scattering his soul at will, and now even his flesh.]

[Fireworks: Let's be good people... Anaxagoras.]

[Fufu: What a ruthless person! Even if he's not afraid of death, it must still hurt a lot.]

[Bai E: It's just a little hardship. This truly reflects the teacher's character; I hope the future will unfold as he wishes.]

[Pera: Reborn as Anaxxagoras, I am a new generation of rational Titan.]

[Abao: Hehe, maybe in the future, the Earth Beasts will become Titan Familiars. Earth Beast Scholar... that sounds kind of cute.]

[Su Chang: I have a question. Won't the Earth Beast eat all the leaves off the tree? Hmm, it seems to eat dirt; it's so easy to raise.]

Back in Ohm, at the Garden of Life, colorful butterflies flutter around the flowers.

After listening to Xia Die's story, Bai E was stunned for a moment, "This... is too much information."

After all, this event overturned the history of Onphalus, not only overturning the myth, but also indirectly proving that Onphalus is a great cycle, and that the re-creation in the oracle is true.
