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

Aglaia wasn't surprised; they too had questioned the oracle.

Xia Die: "Lady Aglaia, please hear me out."

“…Speak.”

The Death Spark remains the biggest variable in the rebirth of the world, and at the upcoming Citizens' Assembly, Katniss and the Golden Blood will surely decide the fate of this spark.

At that moment, Xia and Kaines reached an agreement: after retrieving the fire, the trial would be shelved, allowing death to cease. In this way, even without the fire-chasing, Ohma would still enjoy eternal peace.

Xia Die was well aware of Aglaia's determination to recreate the world; as long as the Black Tide existed, no one could rest easy. Moreover, because Xing's soul was nearing its end, she had to go to the Land of Death.

A world without death... that's exactly what she wanted.

But she didn't let fate dictate her life. Through her experience with countless enemies, she understood that if she didn't take the first step, nothing else would be possible.

After a pleasant conversation, Aglaia said, "Go, I won't stop you. And Xing, as someone who personally deceives death, I think you have every reason to travel with Xia Die and meet the god of death."

"I also look forward to seeing what new interpretations you will add to the journey of chasing fire when your story is complete."

Bai'er expressed his confusion, "Stikosia is surrounded by the River Styx, making it an isolated island. How can we get there? Lady Tibo is probably already..."

“The answer is obvious…” Aglaia laughed: “In mythology, Zagres used the realm of the dead as his treasure trove, and he could travel freely in the underworld.”

"If it can do that... then the demigod who succeeded it should at least have that ability."

"When we set off tomorrow, we'll meet at the Marble Palace—at that time, Saifei will be your guide and lead you to that ancient city."

The eventful day finally came to an end. Everyone dispersed, sorting out their thoughts...

[Saifei: Alas, it's finally Onphalus's greatest thief's turn to appear! Everyone, please be careful with your wallets, or I might just take them.]

[Bartleus: Big sister, you're definitely the most dazzling one in the video. Those Wan Di and Bai Er aren't even as good as your finger.]

[Bai E: Ahem, there's no need to belittle one and praise the other.]

[All Enemies: I am the God of Strife, the inevitable pain of this world. The Spear of Divine Retribution...]

[Bartluth: (Slides to his knees) Brothers, I was a little loud just now.]

[Cat: I wonder if I had any memorable moments in my past life, otherwise it would have been too boring.]

[Abao: Two cats, I wonder if they feel the same, hehe.]

[Sai Fei'er: As long as you're alive, you can rip me bald, no problem. Seamstress, hold on! It's all about humanity, you can have everything I have.]

[Fireworks: The Onpharos are all incredibly talented; if they were in the galaxy, they'd probably cause quite a stir.]

[Fictional Structure | Defendant Cephalia]

Ding! The video section has been updated. We will be releasing a series of fictional short films periodically from now on. We hope you enjoy them. (Past and Future Releases)

[Sai Fei'er: Not a buddy? I just appeared on screen, how did I become a defendant? I don't accept this!]

[Bartleus: Exactly! Why target the boss?]

[Fireworks: The name of this column sounds so cheerful. @PastFuture, hurry up and give me some fun, I can't wait!]

[Aglaia: Oh, interesting.]

[Bell: Could it be that the blogger had a change of heart, and the atmosphere was too heavy due to the many knives in Onphalos, so they released some fun videos instead?]

Chapter 396 Defendant Sefalia

The serious, chibi-style acting judge, Xia Die, sits upright on the bench, wearing half-rimmed glasses.

The gavel struck, and the trial began!

“By Taranton, today the Ohmah Court will focus on the several charges against the defendant, Safalia.”

A grinning cat hangs upside down, its fluffy tail wagging behind it. "Has the 'Dwelling Princess' switched to studying to become a demigod of law?"

With a bang, the cat was gone, leaving only a puff of smoke. The camera zoomed out, revealing that she was standing in the defendant's dock.

"Shh~" Xia Die whispered a warning, "Ms. Defendant, please remain serious. The trial will now begin. Case number 001. The defendant falsely claimed to be Ms. Aglaia and organized a tour group to obtain exorbitant tour fees."

"This constitutes defamation!"

Cat was shocked and quickly raised an X sign, "Oppose!" Two drops of cold sweat trickled down her forehead. "Princess of the Snail House, I'm innocent!"

She produced evidence: a poster for a day trip to Ohmma recommended by Aglaia, highlighted in red... Shocking price! Only 99999.

“Look closely, the full name of this project is ‘Aglaia’s Recommended Ohmma Day Trip,’ which has ‘hui’ in it.”

Upon closer inspection, Xia Die noticed that the character "会" was less than one-tenth the size of the other characters, making it almost invisible to the untrained eye.

"You get the idea, right?" Cat said with a sly smile. "This is a speculation, assumption, and judgment based on my understanding of the seamstress."

He spread his hands, his face completely innocent, and said, "There's absolutely nothing fake about it!"

[Sai Fei'er: Haha, as expected of me. You're still too green to mess with me, you little princess. But this project does have a lot of potential, seamstress, please help me!]

[Star: Great! It's Judge Xia Die! We're saved!]

[Abao: Hehe, what an adorable kitten.]

[Pera: Kawaii! I really love the chibi art style. How about we make some new emojis with it?]

[Hu Tao: Senior Sai Fei'er, please give me some pointers... I also want to learn marketing from you. Business is so tough, why is no one placing orders?]

[Nicole: Wow, someone's even darker than me! Let's exchange tips sometime.]

[Sai Fei'er: Sure, sure. How about we business people create a group chat and make money together?]

[Aglaia: Interesting. Becoming the Butterfly of the Law, I wonder what Caesar would think if he saw this. (Silently saving the cat chibi pic.)]

[Little Candle: I'm sitting on the Earth Beast watching. Little girl, I have high hopes for you. If you can be just and impartial, then I, Caesar, will appoint you as the Grand Judge of the lands I conquer.]

[Fou: Suddenly I thought of Navelette.]

Judge Butterfly fell into deep thought, “It has no flaws except for being expensive…that sounds like Lady Aglaia’s preference.” In her imagination, Aglaia, wearing sunglasses, casually scatters gold coins, she is simply outrageously extravagant.

Cat patted her chest and assured her, "Trust me, she likes this kind of thing."

[Saifei: Wow, seamstress, I want this! So many gold coins!]

[Aglaia: It's a rare sight; my smile is as bright as ever, it's just a pity I can never have that smile again.]

[Star: Could this be the legendary... combination of virtue and wealth?]

[Bai'er: The stark contrast has made me doubt Aglaia. If she weren't the leader of the Fire Chaser, this might actually become a reality.]

[Magic trick: Boring, even more boring with Aglaia added. Please continue playing my video revealing the truth.]

Xia Die thought for a moment, "Then... the next charge, case number 033, is that the defendant impersonated Ms. Feng Jin and published without authorization the graduation message that Professor Xia gave to the students."

"It has caused irreversible damage to the image of the person involved."

"Objection!" Cat skillfully raised the red cross. "I'm still angry about this! When you were studying at Tree Garden, I went to visit the seamstress once."

"And guess what? It really didn't work?"

She said angrily, "That boy from the tree-tree enclosure deliberately scared me! He has no manners at all! How can I tolerate this?"

"Besides, he wrote his own graduation message but was too shy to give it to you." Cat smiled confidently, a pink aura emanating from her. "Well, I'm a kind person, of course I'd help him out!"

Let's first look at the message written by Xia Ke:

Bai Er: As alchemy reveals, emptiness signifies infinite plasticity.

Xiaodie: By exploring the sea of ​​books and touching things with your own hands, you can discover the truth of this world.

[Bai'er: Teacher~ I knew you'd always cared about us.]

[Aglaia: This is that summer? It's completely beyond my imagination. No wonder the title says it's a fictional story; I think it's entirely fabricated.]

[Magic trick: I don't care about students...never...never!]

[Star: But your tone of voice completely contradicts what you meant. Could it be that Teacher Xia thought about it at that moment, but was too shy to give it to you?]

[Feng Jin: Teacher Xia...why wasn't there a message from me?]

[Ling: Haha, I love watching this, I love the contrast.]

"I never expected it to really be Teacher Xia at that moment..." Judge Die fell into a fantasy again. This time it was Teacher Xia at that moment. He held a pen and carefully wrote each message, with a slight blush on his face.

A cute earth beast plush toy sits on his desk, keeping him company.

"Although it's not good to use other people's things without permission, to be honest... I was very touched when I received it."

[Star: I would call you an unparalleled cat, for you could see that unknown side of Xia, the proud and aloof Mint.]

[Yanqing: Oh no, I actually thought Teacher Xia was cute at that moment.]

"Ahem..." Judge Die suppressed her overflowing emotions and said seriously, "There is also... case number 045, anonymous accusation, the defendant did not obtain the contestant's permission."

"Yes... it was me. They registered me for the Ohma Arm Wrestling Tournament without my consent, which seriously affected the order of the competition and the results of the event."

After hearing the accusation, the cat laughed it off. "Oh, no need to thank me. I asked you to make me a little doll before, and here I am, I've signed you up for the competition, so you're guaranteed to win without even having to go."

"Consider this the reward of 100,000 Liheng coins that I earned for free as my way of repaying you."

The cat didn't think it had done anything wrong at all, saying, "It's increased more than tenfold!"

[Aglaia: Sefaria, if I remember correctly, you were the one who registered Xia Die for the Martial Arts Ceremony on the Immortal Ship. This accusation is valid!]

[Sai Fei'er: No way! Even the dilapidated princess wants to make friends.]

[Xia Die: Lady Aglaia, I didn't blame Senior Saifei that time. I'm very happy to have met friends from beyond the heavens.]

[Nicole: This is your rich cat! Cat Master, why can't you make money for me?]

[Nekota: Meow~ It's clearly you who's stingy!]

【Wan Di: ...】

[Bai Er: I speak for Wan Di. Do you know how many enemies he defeated to win the match? When he came back, he couldn't even lift his favorite iron pot.]

【All-powerful: HKS!】

[Fireworks: Hahaha, that's hilarious! Serfie, are you interested in joining the Pleasure Faction? The Masked Fool welcomes you.]

Chapter 397 Bad Cat Bad Cat

Golden threads intertwined, and the cat in the defendant's dock looked panicked, darting around in preparation for escape.

"You're quite optimistic?" A very authoritative voice came, and with a "clang," the cat was wrapped in golden silk into a cocoon and hung upside down in mid-air.

"Oh no! It's the seamstress!"

At this moment, the real judge's seat, Aglaia, revealed herself under the golden light, "having entered the dimly lit courtyard without permission to collect scrap."

Cat struggled down from her suspended position and hurriedly shouted, "Pinkie, stop thinking about your money-saving tricks!" Her anger materialized above her head, "Selling junk as antiques to the savior boy, I'll teach you!"

Aglaia watched calmly, “Stealing the vocabulary of the Suspended Blade Clan while Nicardoli was dozing off.”

Two beads of cold sweat appeared on the cat's forehead. It said, feeling wronged, "Is this all my fault?"

“Stealing the savior’s fashion sense!” Aglaia shook her head.

The cat got angry and shouted, "Are you looking down on me?!"

As the light dimmed, Aglaia solemnly announced, "Citizens, look!" She produced an endless scroll of legal documents, "A thousand lines of indictment, filled with two words... Bad Cat!"

She spoke on behalf of everyone, saying, "I, representing the Ohmah Court, hereby deliver my verdict."

"The defendant shall be deprived of his share of dried fish for life!!"

The moment the announcement was made, Ohmma was struck by lightning and thunder, seemingly foreshadowing the cat's plummeting mood.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, carrying fallen leaves, and the cat, bound like a dumpling, let out a hysterical wail, "Meow!"

"I demand a retrial by a three-jury jury!"

"Sister Tibo, you love me the most! Please persuade the seamstress!"

Three red-haired girls wearing matching sunglasses walked over coolly, hummed twice, and ignored Saifei'er's plea for help.

Tibby: "Bad cat, bad cat."

Tian: "Load it into the cannon."

Tinning: "Riding the west wind."

“Have a safe journey!!!”
