I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

"According to reliable sources, that death knight has a very close relationship with his delicate older sister!"

“That’s right, Aglaia specifically instructed that the Death Knight’s sister is very delicate and must be treated with care!”

"They might fail over there, but as long as we control his sister, it's considered a success!"

"Ha, what a foolish knight, not only failing to protect his delicate sister, but also going around doing meaningless things."

Huang Quan frowned slightly.

Suddenly, purple lightning flashed!

In the blink of an eye, silence returned, as if nothing had happened.

Huang Quan continued his walk, and casually took out a peach and took a bite.

Chapter 27 Hearts Connected Across Distance

After confirming via mobile phone that Huang Quan was alright, Su Yang shifted his focus to 'serious business'.

He was taken to the center of the cosmic vortex by Aglaia.

Beyond the quiet, expansive platform lies the boundless sea and the vast, swirling starry sky, within which countless bright stars twinkle.

The most conspicuous feature of this space is the twelve faintly visible engravings.

"Su Yang, I will tell you everything."

Aglaia took a few steps forward, holding Su Yang's hand, her face showing a sense of relief.

Perhaps she had wanted to be completely honest with Su Yang for a long time, but hesitated until now.

"Why is there still one missing?" Su Yang's attention was clearly drawn to the twelve engravings.

It wasn't thirteen after all.

Did they hide Ellie's share?

“Unfortunately, it’s not just one, it’s half short.” Aglaia sighed, gazing tenderly at Su Yang, and began to explain carefully:

"You're probably already familiar with the Black Tide, so I won't go into too much detail. What I want to talk about is the mission of the 'Golden Blood'."

"Hmm." Su Yang listened attentively.

"Before the Titan Cephalus fell into eternal slumber, He sent out divine pronouncements to the world and sprinkled His divine blood upon the earth, and from then on, the Golden Blood began to be born in the world."

"The Golden Blood will gather under the guidance of destiny, defeat the gods, reclaim the Titans' fire from humanity, and shoulder the responsibilities that the Titans once bore... ultimately achieving the great feat of recreating the world."

“My teacher once revealed a prophecy, [that everyone will part from one person, who will witness miracles, for this is destiny].”

"What do you mean?" Su Yang tilted his head.

Although he wanted to listen carefully, Aglaia's way of speaking only gave him a headache.

"Only one person will live to the end and witness the re-creation of the world."

"What an abstract prophecy."

“...From my perspective, I shouldn’t allow you to blaspheme the prophecy like this, but what you said is indeed true, the prophecy is very abstract.” Aglaia chuckled and looked at the mark in the distance.

"As you can see, the journey to find the fire is only halfway through, and many embers of the fire have yet to return."

"Stop, let's go back to the previous question." Su Yang rubbed his head.

"uh-huh?"

"Only one person will survive to the end. Who is that person?"

In Su Yang's memory, there was a 'Kevin' in Onfaros.

Could it be that?

"We tentatively assumed that it would be the [savior], and we even considered one candidate."

"Also?"

"Su Yang, in your opinion, why did I bring you here?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yang's pupils contracted, and a confident smile of invincibility appeared on his lips.

"So, in other words, I, the [romantic death knight], am needed to act as the savior?"

Su Yang is full of energy.

Leaving aside the fact that the burden of this responsibility is ridiculously heavy.

At least it sounds pretty good.

“I do not deny that possibility exists, but we will have to wait for my teacher’s prophecy to give new instructions for the specifics.”

"Row."

"If you still have any questions about the journey to the fire, or about the Golden Blood, please feel free to ask."

"I don't have any problems anymore."

Even if there's a problem, you can't say anything.

Aglaia has followed the guidance of fate for a thousand years. Now, if he jumps onto people's faces and says this is wrong and that is problematic, it's definitely not going to work.

At the very least, some solid evidence should be presented before any questioning is raised.

"Then please allow me to formally invite you, Su Yang, to embark on a journey with us and save this crumbling world."

"I'm already getting excited."

“Your enthusiasm is truly encouraging, but the situation in Ohmma is still far from optimistic.”

"Yes, it's what you call internal and external troubles." Su Yang nodded.

A crisis is looming, but we can't gather enough sparks, and the Senate is causing trouble in the city. The situation is indeed not good.

"The Senate is indeed a troublesome institution. After all, its members come from different city-states, and the slightest mistake could cause panic among the city's residents. In this holy city, one of the last remaining cities in the apocalypse, people cannot afford to be shaken."

"So troublesome?"

"It was troublesome, but it has been basically resolved."

"Ok?"

"Thanks to you, I am now receiving more and more support in the city. I can take advantage of their desperate act this time to make a big deal out of it. Just wait and see."

"I'll wait and see." Su Yang nodded, but then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something more.

"Oh, judging from your expression, it seems you still have something to say?"

"Yes, there is another important matter."

Su Yang hasn't fully grasped the whole picture of the incident yet, so he shouldn't try to stir up trouble based on his one-sided, subjective ideas.

However, it can provide some preventative measures and facilitate the sharing of intelligence.

"uh-huh?"

"I know that Titans are like gods, but there may be even more terrifying beings above them."

"...Is this knowledge from outer space?" Aglaia's expression became much more serious.

"Yes, that kind of being is called [Commander]. Although the judgment is somewhat hasty, I believe that even Titans would be like ants in the face of a powerful [Commander]."

"For example, your sister?"

“…” Su Yang fell silent.

He couldn't just casually reveal the color of Huang Quan's underwear.

"I don't mean to make things difficult for you, please continue. What you're saying is novel and interesting."

While it was supposed to be funny, Aglaia's expression was more serious than ever before.

"And in Onfaros, three destinies intersect, and it is very likely that there are three [Commanders]."

“…”

"My rough judgment is that the cause of the Black Tide may be related to the [Destruction Envoy]."

“…”

“I even feel that the so-called Titans are a part derived from the [Destroyer], because it is very intriguing that you Goldenborn were granted [Golden Blood] by Cephalon.”

"Su Yang, that's enough, you can't say any more."

"Oh." Su Yang obediently shut up.

That's a lot to say. If it were the original Aglaia, he would probably have been arrested by now.

"You must never mention what you just said to anyone else, except for your sister, of course."

"Ok."

He certainly wouldn't speak carelessly; he simply felt that this information needed to be shared with Aglaia, the leader.

Finally, Aglaia gazed tenderly at Su Yang, saying nothing more.

She took Su Yang's hand and they sat down together on the edge of the platform.

A profound silence enveloped them.

Aglaia gazed at the twelve engravings in the distance, lost in thought.

"Aglaia, don't overthink it."

"No, actually, I've been thinking about similar things ever since I first met Miss Huang Quan. In fact, you've solved my doubts. Thank you."

"Shall we do something else and relax a bit?"

“Oh, I’m sorry, I did say I would teach you [knitting] myself.” Aglaia probably understood what Su Yang meant.

"I do want to learn this, but before that, I have some questions I want to confirm."

"Speak freely, neither of us needs to have any extra concerns now."

"If I could also use [gold thread], would I be able to connect with you across the distance through my underwear?" Su Yang asked sincerely.

“…”

Chapter 28 I will knit you the best underwear

"If you are proficient in the power of [romance] and wish to communicate with me through the golden thread, it is not difficult."

Aglaia eventually gave Su Yang an explanation.

"Oh, full of energy! Come on, Aglaia, let's begin our enjoyable teaching session."

"...Before that, I want to make it clear that you don't need to talk to me in such an awkward way. My contact information should be on your communication tablet."

"I was just asking casually. I didn't intend to contact you through your underwear like that. That would be too lame."

"Is that so?" Aglaia was a little confused.

It seems she misjudged Su Yang.

Su Yang isn't actually that abstract; he just occasionally makes some funny jokes, probably just to liven up the atmosphere.

So essentially, Su Yang was just too gentle.

“Yes, I have greater aspirations.” Su Yang’s eyes hardened considerably as he looked earnestly at Aglaia:

"Aglaia, I will definitely knit the best underwear for you."

"?"

"You poured your romance into the gift you sewed for me, so I will return the favor with the same romance."

“…”

"That way, we can still contact each other anytime, anywhere. It's lame for one person to have special underwear, but it's cool when both of us have it."

“…”

"However, I don't have any foundation, so it will definitely take a lot of time to start from scratch."

"...Indeed, although you can get started quickly by relying on the [romance] within you, it will take some effort to achieve results."
