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

“It’s 10/12 now, we can open it.” Xing shrugged.

“Then I must return another saying to you, the one Danheng taught me: ‘He who travels a hundred li is only halfway there at ninety.’”

Mimi asked in confusion, "Huh, speaking of Danheng... where is he?"

Bai Er looked up. "He arrived the earliest and had already climbed to the top of the cliff to wait for us. I guess he's not used to being watched by so many eyes—"

Just then, the gathered citizens shouted their blessings.

"Lord Bai'e, please make sure you return safely!"

"Down with the indifferent eyes of dawn and dusk, and restore a benevolent sky to Onphalus."

Bai E looked around, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "Thank you all for your blessings! Please rest assured, we have made thorough preparations."

"However, I am not the main character today. When Miss Feng Jin arrives later, please do not hesitate to give her your encouragement."

He has already become an excellent leader when it comes to improvisation.

"She is also the pride of Ohma, and indeed of all Onfaros. Furthermore... although the Journey of Fire is led by the Golden Blood, those chosen by Aglaia have contributed far more than just those chosen by her."

He gestured to Xing beside him.

"And let us also express our gratitude to the two brave men from a foreign land—for strangers like you and me, they were willing to step forward and go through fire and water!"

One citizen immediately shouted: "Hero! Your story will be written into an epic and sung by many in the new world."

"A foreign warrior imbued with the power of Oronis, a pioneer to save the world!"

[Bell: When it comes to emotional value, Ohmama citizens have never disappointed.]

[Star: Before I knew it, Danheng and I were almost at the end. Bai'er, you are far better now than you were in the video.]

[Mimi: Of course! I often see Xiaobai going into immersive mode all by himself to review his gameplay.]

[Bai Er: This is all thanks to you guys, my partners.]

[Walter: It seems that at the moment of rebirth, all the hidden information of Onphalus will be revealed, and the answer to Lycurgus's ultimate method will also be found.]

Lycus: You sons of men living in caves, the universe is to you like the sky seen from the bottom of a well. I gave Lord Bai'er a chance, but you still chose to remain in the cave.

[Bai'er: Ah, in every lifetime, I will never abandon Onpharos.]

[Ying: Witnessing Bai Er become a leader from the very beginning, how should I put it? It's like watching a sapling grow into a towering tree. We are witnesses, but not participants.]

Wendy: Aren't travelers the same? Having traveled to five countries, looking back, you've also gained countless friendships and bonds; the meaning of travel quietly emerges in your heart.

Paimon: Well, you could say we're pioneering in a way.

[Star: Of course, exploration knows no bounds. Through exploration, understanding, building, and connecting, I've become a seasoned pioneer.]

Chapter 455 Rainbow Bridge

Xing looked at Bai E with a gratified expression, "You're already handling this situation with ease."

"Ha... We've known each other for a while now, so you should be able to tell when I'm being polite and when I'm speaking from the heart."

Bai'er's eyes were sincere. "What you just said was heartfelt praise, Xing. If I hadn't listened to my intuition and trusted you and Danheng back then, I don't know what would have become of Ohema now."

Light footsteps sounded.

"...Ah, the main character for today has arrived."

As everyone's attention shifted, Feng Jin took small steps up the steps amidst applause, showing no fear whatsoever in order not to betray everyone's trust.

Nodding slightly to Bai Er, Feng Jin turned to face the citizens of Ohma and spoke confidently.

"My friends in Ohma—I have received the blessing of the ancestors of the Sky Clan."

"They are willing to entrust me with a mission that spans a thousand years, and I will go to retrieve the fire of Aigle."

The crowd cheered; in dire straits, nothing is more precious than hope.

Feng Jin arrived at the ritual water basin. "It is now the year 4932 of the Light Calendar, the 1062nd year since the hero Seneos embarked on her journey to chase fire."

"I, Yacintes of the Sky Clan, am ready to lead the Son of Man back to the skies."

Bai Er nodded and spoke as the leader.

History never breathes evenly. Sometimes it holds its breath for a thousand years, as if time has stood still; other times it breathes rapidly, as if it wants to overturn the world and civilization in an instant.

"Its rapid breathing stirred up a storm, engulfing us all. Wind Violet, you witnessed the return of the four sparks as an observer..."

"Now, it's your turn to fulfill your mission. This time, please lead us deep into the eye of the storm as a firsthand witness."

[Xingqiu: A born leader, his writing skills are off the charts.]

[That's the heir favored by Lady Aglaia! Lord Bai'er's charm is undeniable! Long live the Golden Blood! Down with Aigle! Down with Laigus!]

Nicole: Sigh, it's a pity that out of so many people back then, only they are left.

[Tian: As expected of Little Wind Violet, then I'll leave Aegler to you. The seed of the world's fire is already in Bai E's hands; only the sky remains.]

[Feng Jin: I will do my best to not let Hui Bao and Lord Bai E down.]

[Mimi: People are also cheering for Little Violet.]

[Feng Jin: Oh, and the adorable Mimi too.]

[Little Fish Knight: Caesar, it seems we can confidently entrust the journey of chasing fire to the younger generation. Heroes, regardless of age, deserve our trust.]

[Little Candle: We'll make Lai Gushi pay! We'll all be ennobled in the future!]

[Mimi: I also want a title. I wonder what name Lord Caesar will give me. I hope it's not the Pink Puppy King.]

[Sai Fei'er: Pinky's junior, Gray, and Savior Boy, the seamstress and I are waiting for your triumphant return.]

"We've kept you waiting, Danheng." Bai E led the group to the mountaintop.

"The force to subdue Aigler is finally complete."

Dan Heng remarked with emotion: "Time and time again, we are rewriting the history of a world with our own hands."

“I think this pioneering experience… should be enough to make Akivili envious.”

[Star: Who would have thought that we were initially just here to refuel the train?]

[Walter: Pioneering is about exploring the unknown. Miss Black Swan only recommended this place, but she never expected that Onpharos would be involved in the scheme concerning the Star God.]

[Black Swan: Perhaps it would be easier for you if you didn't come here.]

Silver Wolf: That won't do.

Xing, hands on her hips, brimming with energy, exclaimed, "What an amazing adventure! Even March is drooling!"

[Chang Yeyue: She did cry. She paid a heavy price for you all.]

[Star: No, who are you?]

Bai E looked down at Feng Jin, "The rest is up to you."

Feng Jin nodded, walked to the front of the Cephalosporin and looked up, "Legend has it that the Children of the Sky were once divided into many tribes."

"They worship the name of the sun's radiance, the name of the thunderstorm's rain, and the people of winter who take snow as their omen... Their ancestors lived under the light of Aegler, yet their eyes could only see one color."

"But they forgot that the glimmer of light that illuminates the world is composed of a harmonious blend of many colors."

She smiled sweetly and said, "That's why the rainbow is my favorite weather phenomenon—it not only reflects many colors, but also symbolizes a bridge."

"I want to connect people's hearts with the rainbow... to convey hope to all souls in the world."

Take out the fluorescent rainbow box again.

"Our ancestors—"

"Please use the rainbow as a guide to lead me back to the homeland of the Sky Children, which I have been away from for thousands of years."

"Rainbow Bridge...please guide us back to the sky."

Before everyone's eyes, the box emitted rainbow-like colors, a rainbow storm shot straight into the sky, and a radiance far surpassing that of the Dawn Machine fell.

Feng Jin stood at the starting point of the Rainbow Bridge and looked back, "Everyone, please fly with me."

[Star: Wow, what a beautiful rainbow bridge! It feels like stepping into a fairytale world. And, Venus, you're so cute!]

[Feng Jin: Haha, thanks for the compliment, Grey.]

[Fireworks: If you say another word, Aigle will send you flying.]

Paimon: A kingdom built in the sky, wouldn't that be just like Ningguang's Jade Pavilion?

[Aglaia: I never imagined I'd witness the return of the last spark of fire in this lifetime. For me, my journey in pursuit of fire has come to a perfect end.]

[Sai Fei: Seamstress, we can definitely break the mold of the future.]

[All Enemies: Savior, be careful. Aigle's temper is unpredictable, and the skies are its domain; you are at a disadvantage.]

[Bai'er: I've got it.]

Charlotte: I really want to go in and take pictures! The Rainbow Bridge, the Underworld Flower Fields, the Tree Garden… these scenes are all so beautiful.

[Himeko: Good luck, kids.]

As everyone stepped onto the magnificent rainbow bridge, each step felt like walking on clouds, their bodies as light as birds, soaring high in the sky that all beings looked up to.

Bai'er and his group passed through the clouds and stepped onto the sky fortress.

"The legendary Sky Fortress of Aigle—I never imagined that one day I would actually be able to set foot there myself."

Feng Jin explained, “Our ancestors once established a magnificent civilization in the heavens, and the Dawn and Dusk Eye beneath our feet is the dwelling place of Aigle, the core of the city-state in the clouds.”

"Presumably, it was right here that the heroine Seneos declared war on Aegler, turning the first page of humanity's journey in pursuit of fire..."

"We are here to bring to a close the journey that she herself started."

Bai E introduced the group to the others.

"According to historical records, the civilization that worshipped Aegler possessed advanced technology. Coupled with its advantageous geographical location, Sky City was the only force in the Golden War that could directly confront Suspended Wind Peak City."

"But there is no unity within the organization, especially after the oracle descended..."

"The frequent civil wars instigated by the Golden Clan have greatly weakened their strength, and they can only hide in the clouds, far away from the war on the ground."

Chapter 456 The Phantom of Pegasus

Kazejin added.

"It is said that the conflict arose between two main sky tribes, the People of Light and the People of Rain."

"It was because she could not tolerate the endless strife among her own people that Seneos turned her gun on the high and mighty Titans."

After learning about the situation, the group proceeded along the passageway inside the Sky Fortress.

silence...

As time has passed, this place has long since become ruins.

After passing through several doors, Bai E stopped and stared into the darkness before him.

"Something's wrong..."

"I can vaguely sense the vastness and emptiness of this place, but right now there is only darkness."

Danheng asked with a question in his mind, "What's hidden behind that darkness...?"

“Perhaps… it’s a celestial mural,” Feng Jin guessed.

"In the customs of the Sky City, it is connected to the celestial canopy of Onphalus, and the climate depicted in the celestial murals will be reflected in the weather in reality."

"Clear skies, overcast skies, snow, thunderstorms... the murals reflect Aigle's ever-changing emotions. In times of peace, sky priests gather here to pray that the gods will send gentle breezes to the world, bringing a bountiful harvest."

Feng Jin thought for a moment, "If we were to use a term that Hui Bao and Dan Bao are familiar with to describe it—just think of it as a giant screen."

[Silver Wolf: A display screen? That doesn't seem surprising. Onpharos is a world of data, so weather is naturally determined by data.]

[Ring: Uh… I suddenly thought of the computer screen.]

Alice: Ms. Kazemi is so cute. It would be even better if she could cut off that curly hair in her bangs.

[Zhongli: Liyue's technological level is somewhat low; the concepts behind many things in the video are difficult to understand.]
