Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

Aglaia's furrowed brow relaxed slightly.

Xia Die asked Aglaia, "Is the battle over?"

Aglaia nodded gently: "Yes, the Firewalkers have left."

After waiting for a while, the injured Wan Di, Kratrus, and several other Suspended Peak City warriors came over.

They weren't in the Heroes' Bath; Kratos and the others could have come too.

Bai Yuan saw the condition of the group; they were all seriously injured. Wan Di was the most severely injured, having lost an arm. Feng Jin intended to treat Wan Di, but Wan Di reached out to stop her.

"I'm fine. You go and deal with the others first. I'll recover on my own in a bit."

"Yes, sir." Feng Jin immediately went to treat the other person.

Bai Yuan asked Wan Di, "How is the situation?"

"Ten were wounded, some of them seriously, and I brought them here for treatment. Three others died in battle..."

As Wan Di spoke, he couldn't help but clench his fist.

The people of Xuanfeng were all brought here by him; each one of them was a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside him back then. Now, these comrades-in-arms have died at the hands of the Fire Thief. One can only imagine the rage in Wan Di's heart.

"We'll find the Fire Thief sooner or later and take revenge." Those people had fought alongside Bai Yuan, and Bai Yuan could understand Wan Di's anger.

As Wan Di spoke, he recalled the details of the battle. Suddenly, he said to Bai Yuan and Aglaia, "Wait, I noticed a detail when I was fighting the Fire Thief."

"what?!"

Hearing Wan Di say this, everyone perked up.

Such a change in the Fire Thief must have been foreshadowed. Wan Di's description of the details of the battle was something that deserved serious attention.

"When I rushed over, I could clearly feel that the Fire Thief was in an excited state. But after he realized it was me, he became noticeably less excited. After fighting me for a while, he left."

Wan Di recounted the battle that had just taken place to several people.

He is the prince of the suspenseful peak; if Bai Yuan hadn't appeared, he would have inherited the flames of conflict. He possesses a beast-like intuition for the emotions of his enemies in battle.

As they pondered these emotional shifts, Bai Yuan and the others began to think.

Xia Die said to everyone, "Hmm...is his goal the Golden Descendants? By attacking the civilians, he's luring us over so he can defeat them one by one."

"A strategy of besieging a point to lure reinforcements? Indeed."

Bai Yuan felt that this was the most likely possibility.

The Firewalker's only goal was to steal the Titans' fire; he didn't care much about the people or the situation in Ohmar.

“He saw it was me, and knew he couldn’t kill me, so his actions became disappointed,” Wan Di said smugly.

"Then are we just going to keep hiding?" Feng Jin asked with some concern.

It's harder to accept to hide than to die as a member of the Golden Clan.

Bai Yuan then spoke up, "I, Bai Yuan, can protect you. I possess the power of the Death Titan. Even if you are attacked by the Fire Thief, I can use my blood combined with the power of the Death Titan to help you revive. However, you cannot stray too far from me, otherwise I will not be able to catch up."

"This method is no different from you acting alone. You are strong enough to fight the Fire Thief in a head-on battle, but killing him will be extremely difficult."

Wan Di frowned.

“Indeed.” Bai Yuan lowered his head in thought.

At this moment, Xia Die spoke up, "Since we can't decide the Fire Thief's attack route, let's just go with our own ideas. No matter what he does, his goal is definitely the Titan Fire Seed. Let's go directly to receive the remaining Fire Seed and force him to show himself."

You fight your way, I'll fight mine, let's see who gives up first.

Upon hearing Xia Die's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

Tibo nodded: "Indeed, I don't believe he can sit idly by and watch all the Titans' sparks be gathered. He doesn't know if we will recreate the world. If he does nothing after gathering them all, and we recreate the world, he'll be dumbfounded."

"He threatens us, so we'll threaten him back!"

……

Outside Onpharos, Laigushi stood with his arms crossed, watching the several human figures that had appeared.

"Bai Yuan, Polycia, Cecis... what exactly is the formation of Bai Yuan? If more people continue to be infected, the entire operation of Onpharos will undergo irreversible changes."

Even he couldn't understand this change.

This made Ragushi feel very uneasy.

"If this continues, the only thing I can do is expel them."

P.S.: I'll continue writing the remaining 5,000 words. It's unlikely I'll be able to post them before midnight, so I'll wait until the latter half of the night.

Chapter 129 Feng Jin, Did Your Ancestor Really Want to See People Fall in Love? [5k words, Second Update]

Aglaia then brought Bai'er, Saifeier, and the others over as well.

After collecting all the Golden Descendants, Xia Die reiterated her thoughts to Bai E and the others.

No matter what the Fire Thieves did, they focused on gathering the fire, forcing the Fire Thieves to reveal themselves.

Bai'er said excitedly, "Let him fight his battle, we'll fight ours. Ohma can afford the losses, but the Fire-Stealer can't accept the result of us gathering all the fire."

“Indeed, we forced him to come. Once he arrives, we’ll figure out how to get him.” Sai Fei’er touched her hands. “I’m going to scratch his face a few times.”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you this opportunity." Bai Yuan encouraged Sai Feier's idea from the side.

Fire Thief, this time I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Aglaia said to everyone, "In that case, let's prepare for a battle meeting. We already agreed last time that Wind Violet would be responsible for operating the fortress in the sky. This time we need to move it up a bit, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Ms. Aglaia, I've been preparing for this for a while now. I'm ready to begin the next phase of the operation whenever needed." Feng Jin nodded vigorously, her hands clasped in front of her chest.

Her eyes shone brightly, her gaze unwavering.

"Seeing your confidence gives me even more confidence in our next mission in the sky," Aglaia said to Feng Jin with a smile.

"I also hope that I can contribute my own help to everyone's journey of salvation."

"Little Feng Jin, you're amazing!" Tibo gave Feng Jin a thumbs up.

Aglaia looked at the others: "Next, we need to discuss who will go to the sky. First, Bai Yuan and Feng Jin will go. Considering that we may have to face two enemies at the same time in the sky, Aigle and the Fire Thief, we should send as many people as possible this time."

“I’d better stay on the ground,” Wan Di said at this moment.

The only ones least afraid of the Fire Thieves besides Bai Yuan were Wan Di. Wan Di worried that if Bai Yuan and his group entered the Sky Castle, the Fire Thieves would start a massacre below. So he had to stay behind to keep watch.

“That’s what I think too.” Aglaia agreed with Wan Di’s idea.

“Since Wan Di is going to stay down here, I’ll come with him,” Bai E said at this moment.

Wan Di alone is definitely not enough, and Bai E and he cooperate closely, so it was natural for them to team up.

"That way, I, Wan Di, and Bai E will be on the ground."

Xia Die glanced at Bai Yuan: "Lady Aglaia, my sister and I are going to go to the sky with Bai Yuan."

Aglaia nodded.

“Me too, me too, the seamstress, I’m going to the sky with Yuanzi too,” Sai Fei’er said quickly.

"Sefaria, you just lost the power of the Trick Titan, are you still able to fight?" Aglaia asked with some concern.

Hearing Aglaia's words of concern, Saifeier was clearly a little uncomfortable. She quickly waved her hand at Aglaia and said confidently, "Don't worry, I was already a well-known thief before I inherited the abilities of the Trick Titan. Now I have more than a thousand years of experience. Even if it's a white piece or a ten-thousand-piece piece, it might not be able to beat me."

"Since you're so confident, I'll take you along too."

"Bai Yuan, Feng Jin, Die, Bolysia, and Sefaria should be about ready." Aglaia considered the combat strength, realizing that fighting both the Fire Thief and the Sky Titan Aegler simultaneously wouldn't put her at a significant disadvantage.

On the ground, her golden threads spread to Ohema and Suspended Peak City. Bai'e and Wan Di were ready to counterattack. In addition, Teacher Tibao and the others were preparing for the Hundred Realms Gate.

enough.

After considering the battle allocation, Aglaia immediately said:

"Let's not delay, let's get started now."

As she said this, she said to Bai Yuan with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, I was originally planning to let you have a good rest for a while. But given the current situation, there's really no time to waste."

“Ms. Aglaia, I know,” Bai Yuan said, clenching his fist.

"Seeing the people of Ohma fall under the sword of the Firewalker, only his blood can quell the anger in my heart. Even if you let me rest now, I won't be able to sleep."

He was furious and would only stop when he defeated the enemy.

"Xiao Yuan, go for it, kill him!" Ti Yin said earnestly.

"Yes, take him down."

"..."

Xia Die, Wan Di, and Bai E also said the same words to encourage each other.

With the pre-war mobilization over, everyone was now off to carry out their respective tasks.

Feng Jin said she wanted to visit the dimly lit courtyard of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden. For safety's sake, Bai Yuan accompanied her.

And they acted as guards to bring back the scholars from the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.

With the crisis at the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden resolved, the scholars naturally returned to their research institute. However, they had only been back for two days when they faced another attack from the Fire Thieves, forcing them to return to Ohmar.

……

The two quickly arrived at the dimly lit courtyard of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.

Besides Feng Jin, there were several doctors present. They were packing up their tools, and upon seeing Feng Jin arrive, they immediately wanted to greet her.

Feng Jin quickly reached out to stop her.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and do your own thing. Yuanbao and I will just wander around here for a bit."

"Ah."

The doctors went on to do their own work.

Bai Yuan then accompanied Feng Jin as they continued their stroll through the dimly lit courtyard.

The task that Kaze Sumire will be undertaking next may be second only to Shiromoto, which means she needs to adjust her mindset.

Feng Jin is petite; even at her shortest, Bai Yuan was slightly taller than her. Now that Bai Yuan's height has returned to normal, Feng Jin's head only reaches his chin.

Her slender legs, encased in white stockings, appeared even more delicate and charming against the backdrop of the green grass beneath her feet. A gentle breeze blew, causing her hair to flutter, making her look exceptionally elegant and adorable.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but glance at her.

When Feng Jin noticed Bai Yuan's gaze, her cheeks flushed.

Wanting to change the subject, Feng Jin said to Bai Yuan, "Yuanbao, back when Teacher Xia gave her last lesson at the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden, Bai E, Die Bao, and I all told Teacher Xia about our post-graduation dreams. Of course, even though I was the teaching assistant, I still shared my dreams. Can you guess what we said?"

Bai Yuan looked thoughtful and said to Feng Jin, "I guess Bai E definitely said she wanted to protect everyone. As for Xia Die, her thoughts are probably related to [death]. She won't let people escape death, but rather make them willing to accept it."

"Yuanbao, you're amazing! What about me? Guess what I'll do."

“I bet you’ll turn your attention to the common people outside of heroic epics,” Bai Yuan said to Feng Jin in a serious tone.

"Yuanbao, how can you be so smart!" Feng Jin exclaimed in astonishment. But then, she realized what she was doing and said to Bai Yuan, "Did Diebao tell you?"

"Yes." Bai Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You bastard!" Feng Jin glared at Bai Yuan.

Then, she asked Bai Yuan, "So, what do you think of my thoughts? Besides heroic epics, shouldn't we also look at the common people?"

"Why not?" Bai Yuan didn't laugh this time. He squatted down and pointed at the flowers with a serious tone.

"Heroes are like these beautiful flowers, while the people are the roots beneath. No matter how brilliant we are, without roots we are nothing. A world with only heroes is a world of despair; while a world with only ordinary people..."

"What does it look like?" Feng Jin wanted to hear Bai Yuan's thoughts.

"That was a world where everyone was a hero."

"Sooner or later, the heroes and Titans will have to step down, and the people will have to take over the world."

"A world without heroes, without Titans?" A wistful thought appeared in Feng Jin's eyes.

Bai Yuan nodded: "Yes, after the world of Onpharos is saved, I will definitely leave and go to more places beyond the sky to see more unknowns."

"So, what will it look like?"

A look of longing appeared in Feng Jin's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly came to her senses and said to Bai Yuan, "Alright, Yuanbao, let's talk about those things when we get back from the sky. Let's continue the ceremony for now."

Feng Jin continued, "If our Sky Clan wants to return to the sky, we need to communicate with the spirits of our ancestors and gain their approval before we can build the Rainbow Bridge. Now, Yuanbao, come with me to retrieve our clan's sacred artifact, the Rainbow Box, and communicate with the spirits of our ancestors. They all possess our clan's secret methods, and their souls have not gone to the River Styx."
