Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

"Perhaps, we can start a war."

Xia Die, Wan Di, and Kratos immediately focused their attention on Bai Yuan.

"We must retake Xuanfeng City," Bai Yuan said to the three.

The Fire Chaser's method of salvation is "re-creation," which prioritizes humanity over civilization. Bai Yuan wants to end this situation, so he desires both civilization and life.

Ohema is beautiful, and the Suspended Peak People have their own unique characteristics.

It would be best if both maintained their own distinct spirit.

"Maidemus, what do you think?" Kratrus looked at Wan Di, wanting to see what his decision would be.

Ultimately, he is the prince of the Suspended Peak, and the future of the Suspended Peak remains in his hands.

Bai Yuan reached out to stop him at this moment.

“Clatrus, although I said I wanted to start a war, I didn’t mean to take the Suspended Man with me.”

Perhaps some of the Suspended Ones will genuinely enjoy life in Ohmma and want to integrate. Bai Yuan, however, doesn't want to force them to choose to return to the war.

"Lord Bai Yuan, what are you planning to do?"

"Clatrus frowned as he spoke."

"I want to take over Suspended Peak City step by step, all by myself. Through constant warfare, I'll see if I can awaken the strife within."

Bai Yuan answered earnestly.

“This…” Clatrus frowned.

Wan Di crossed his arms and said to Bai Yuan, "Don't worry, I won't stop Xuan Feng from following you."

Bai Yuan laughed.

Wan Di was well aware of his thoughts.

If the people of Suspended Peak have forgotten their thirst for war, then they should stay in Ohm and live a good life. Those who truly cannot adapt to life in Ohm will undoubtedly choose to follow Bai Yuan if they see him doing this.

Clatterus understood Bai Yuan's thoughts and immediately made a guarantee.

"Lord Bai Yuan, please rest assured, I will be the first to follow you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Die silently took Bai Yuan's hand.

She was the first to do this, following Bai Siling Emu Shiyuan.

P.S.: Another 11,000 words today, time for bed.

Chapter 78 Bai Yuan's Path to Igniting the Spark of Conflict [4k, First Update]

"Little Yuan, Little Butterfly."

Heroes Bathing Pool, Ti Bao Yi Qi Er Shan Ling (4) Jiu Qi San Si looked at Bai Yuan and Xia Die with worry.

Aglaia must have overheard Bai Yuan's conversation with Wan Di and the others. So, after leaving Wan Di's side, Bai Yuan went to find Aglaia first.

Aglaia then approached, her lifeless eyes now radiating a powerful sense of pressure. Her aura was truly formidable; both Bai Yuan and Xia Die felt a sense of unease.

"Are you planning to retake Suspended Peak City?"

She asked Bai Yuan.

"Yes, Lady Aglaia, in order to gather the sparks of the Titans of Strife, I intend to start another war."

Bai Yuan nodded seriously.

He intended to experience the feeling of conflict once again through war.

Aglaia continued, "If you want to recreate the war, we can simulate a fierce battle in Ohmma."

“This cannot be achieved through a single war.” Bai Yuan shook his head. “The essence of conflict is not war, but killing. It is about using war to protect and survive. Killing simply for the sake of destruction is just becoming a madman who only knows how to kill. Nicardoli would not be like that before he lost his mind.”

I almost mentioned the antimatter legion, but thankfully I stopped myself in time and didn't say anything beyond the common sense of Ohm.

Aglaia had a thoughtful expression on her face. Tibo looked at Bai Yuan, then at Aglaia.

“Okay.” Aglaia nodded slowly.

Listening to Bai Yuan's assessment of the conflict, Aglaia knew in her heart that he was kind at heart.

"If those Suspended Peak warriors follow you into battle, I will not stop them."

"Thank you, Lady Aglaia."

"From now on, do not call me 'sir'. If you can become the spark of the Titans of Strife and become a demigod of Strife, then calling me 'sir' will not seem so appropriate."

“Okay, I understand, Ms. Aglaia.”

Bai Yuan nodded.

Tibao then walked up to Bai Yuan and said to him, "Little Yuan, let's go. I'll follow you this time. If anything else happens, I can help you get back."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Tibao."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Tibo waved her hands repeatedly.

……

Afterwards, Tibo, Xiadie, and Baiyuan left the Hero Bath.

Walking through the Marble Palace below, as she passed the hot bath, several children stumbled and ran towards her. Seeing this, Xia Die quickly moved away to avoid them touching her.

Bai Yuan quickly stopped them.

"Don't run around in the bathhouse. It's dangerous for you and for others."

The boy in the lead scratched his head and apologized repeatedly: "Brother, I'm sorry, we were just very excited when we heard Grandpa Kratrus say that we will be returning to our hometown soon."

Hearing the term "brother" made Bai Yuan genuinely happy. Then, upon hearing "Clatrus," Bai Yuan realized what it meant.

"Are you all members of the Suspended Peak Clan?"

"Yes." Hearing Bai Yuan say this, the children's expressions became slightly more wary, and they took a half step back.

Xia Die looked at him with a somber expression, clearly familiar with the wariness that often followed discrimination from others.

Kratrus then walked over. He reached out and patted the children's heads, saying with a smile, "Don't think he's like the other Ohmans. He possesses the power of Nicardoli, and he's the one who's brought us back home."

"Huh? But Grandpa Kratrus, didn't you say that our prince would be the one to lead us back to Suspended Peak City?"

Upon hearing the child's question, Clatrus's expression froze.

Bai Yuan reached out and patted the children's heads, saying to them, "I will pave the way for you and ignite the sparks of conflict. But it is still your prince who will lead you in life in Xuanfeng City. The road home is not something one person can do alone; it requires the efforts of everyone."

Bai Yuan didn't want to ruin the child's beautiful dream.

"Oh, I understand." The child nodded, seemingly understanding. "So, we should also pick up swords and fight alongside you, brother?"

“No need for that.” Wan Di appeared behind the children at this moment. “What you need to do now is eat well, train hard, and become a true warrior. Only in this way can you contribute to returning home.”

"Understood, Your Highness!"

The children of the people on the cliff nodded earnestly.

After the children left, Wan Di looked down at Bai Yuan:

"I will not help you in this battle."

Upon hearing this, Kratos's expression changed slightly.

Wan Di then continued, "I will notify all the Suspended Peak members and then protect them on the battlefield. If they don't want to enter the battlefield, I will not let them get hurt in the slightest. If they are willing to step into that bloody battlefield themselves, I will see them off to your side."

"That's perfect. If those children were to get hurt, then it would truly be my fault."

Bai Yuan nodded repeatedly.

Just then, he felt Wan Di slap his shoulder hard.

"You're not that old, don't think you can handle everything on your own."

Wan Di patted Bai Yuan on the shoulder and then walked away.

Clatrus nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Lord Bai Yuan, although you possess Nicardi's flame, do not underestimate our strength."

"Wait, there really is something I need your help with. Although I've acquired Nicardi's combat skills, I'm not quite proficient at using them yet. Could you help me familiarize myself with them?"

Craterus is the King Wing Champion, so he might not be a match for her in a fight, but she needs to learn his fighting techniques.

“Okay.” Kratrus was taken aback for a moment, then nodded seriously.

“There’s a training ground over there, and I will teach you all my sword skills.”

……

Several days later, at the gates of Ohma.

The area is busier than ever before. Not only are there Suspended Peak people, but also quite a few Ohmans.

A group of people were watching Bai Yuan standing at the door.

The Ohmans who came were roughly divided into two groups. One group had no connection with Bai Yuan and were simply there to watch the spectacle. The other group consisted of merchants who had interacted with Bai Yuan for several months in the Marble Market, as well as the Thasos people he had helped. They looked at Bai Yuan with deep concern and worry.

They wanted to persuade Hakugen not to do it, but Aglaia had previously told them about the importance of Hakugen's mission.

For the sake of the future, and for the sake of the present, Bai Yuan had no choice but to do it.

Bai Yuan, wielding the Blade of Heavenly Punishment, is adjusting his state.

Xia Die, Ti Bao, and Sai Fei Er were also quietly preparing beside him.

They also wanted to fight alongside Bai Yuan, but their aura might interfere with the war. Furthermore, their strength was too high; their presence would diminish the atmosphere of the battle.

Many of the Suspended Ones wanted to follow Bai Yuan directly, but were stopped by Kratrus.

“You haven’t experienced war for a long time, and you’ve lived in the peaceful environment of Ohmma for too long. Now, if you go up there with just a surge of courage, what if you regret it later? We’ll follow behind, and only by truly witnessing the bloodshed of war can we understand our own intentions.”

This was Bai Yuan's idea, and Clatterus thought so too.

Wan Di followed beside the Suspended Peak members, speaking in a commanding tone: "All Suspended Peak members must look straight ahead, not to the left or right, and must not communicate. Whether or not to go to the battlefield is entirely up to you. Staying in Ohema City does not mean you are not a Suspended Peak member. Going to Suspended Peak City may very well mean death."

Serhis also mingled in the crowd, and at that moment Xia stood beside Him.

"Son of man, do you believe that Bai Yuan will succeed this time?"

"Without real data, I can't say for sure. But I believe that a certain woman cares more about this result than I do. If Bai Yuan can't become a demigod this time, I'd really like to see what the Journey of Chasing Fire will be like."

Even Xia Ke didn't know about this situation at that moment.

"Then let's just quietly watch how this ends."

……

Bai Yuan also took a deep breath, preparing for the battle.

Before setting off, he had a good meal at Wan Di's place.

Although I was quite satisfied with Xia Die's lovingly prepared food, it was still far inferior to Wan Di's culinary skills.

It's such a pity that Master Wan became a soldier.

Bai Yuan felt his stomach was a little full.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Bai Yuan raised the Heavenly Punishment Blade in his hand.

"I'm off."

Bai Yuan said loudly.

Then, he strode forward.

One step, two steps, three steps... Saki (II) Umbrella Spirit Private IX Saki Scattered (IV) 3...

Unlike his previous hasty journey to Xuanfeng City, Bai Yuan took each step carefully, experiencing the philosophy of conflict.

As he left Ohma, he felt darkness instantly envelop him.

People face unknown fears in the darkness. Faced with this fear, they either hide or take up arms and fight those unknown enemies.

Fighting, in order to survive better.

Bai Yuan thought to himself, then swung the sword to his right.

A clanging sound of metal striking metal echoed from the darkness. Bai Yuan stepped forward and saw a massive Heavenly Punishment Vanguard approaching with a weapon. Bai Yuan had already chipped a notch in its weapon.
