She should have been the darling of both races, a symbol of unity in the sky… but, alas…” Lunebis’s voice was filled with regret.

"The truth is quite the opposite. As the two peoples began to distrust each other due to Eger's incomprehensible 'preferences' and their relationship gradually intensified, they both began to fear the other half of the blood flowing in Seneos's veins."

They never truly considered her one of their own. She grew up in rejection and isolation.

A hint of shock flashed in Feng Jin's eyes.

Lunebis continued, "But she was optimistic and resilient by nature, and never gave up her love for the sky and her people, until she grew into a skilled and passionate young woman."

Until… an accident revealed that she also possessed the forbidden golden blood of a 'godslayer.' This became the final straw that transformed everyone's disgust for her into fear and hostility.

"What?!" Feng Jin was completely stunned. This was completely different from the history she knew. "The epic of the tribe says that... the hero Seneos deliberately secluded herself to hone her will and develop unparalleled martial arts skills..."

Unexpectedly, she was expelled from her race because of her mixed-race heritage and Golden Descendant lineage…?

“The Golden Blood of that time,” Sorapis began, his voice low and subdued.

"Because those ominous prophecies about 'killing gods' will only be seen by all people who believe in gods as the embodiment of disaster and evil. They believe that the Golden Descendants will bring boundless calamities from the gods."

Discrimination, expulsion, and even persecution... were the common fate of the golden generation of that era.

Sorapis's aura of soul turned towards the wind violet, as if it could pierce through time and space to see that lonely yet resilient figure:

"When the hero Seneos grew up, she witnessed firsthand how the People of Light, relying on their so-called 'divine favor,' intensified their oppression of other tribes, and she was utterly disappointed in the tribe she came from."

Ultimately, she made a shocking decision—she would sever the source of all this tragedy! She would kill the god who was blindly worshipped yet acted unjustly—Aigler!

“But…” Sorapis’s voice carried a complex emotion, “At that time, although her words were filled with indignation because of what she had experienced, her heart was still full of compassion for the Son of Man.”

Her initial goal was not destruction, but rather... to break down that suffocating theocracy and bring true justice.

Xi Lian was also deeply drawn to this tragic and true story. "Even after experiencing betrayal and exile, she was still willing to embark on a journey to slay the gods for her people. Seneos, was her love for people also profound and unconditional?"

The spirits of the two strange beasts—Sorapis and Lunebis—fell silent for a moment, with only their soul halos pulsating slightly, like a silent sigh.

Just then, the spatial energy that Bai Mo had gathered in his hand had stabilized, and a new Hundred Realms Gate quietly took shape in front of him, with an aura from the other end of the gate that was completely different from this place.

"Everyone... we should continue on our way." Bai Mo's urging voice rang out, and beneath his calm surface, a trace of anxiety, like an undercurrent, was quietly surging.

Bai E, who had been focusing some of his attention on Bai Mo since earlier, keenly noticed his younger brother's unusual state.

This is not simply because of what he said earlier—that Wan Di is fighting a bloody battle with the Black Tide on the ground, buying them time.

That sense of urgency... what Bai E felt from Bai Mo was a deeper kind of anxiety.

That anxiety... it was just like... just like the feeling I had before the final exams for my worst subjects in the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.

It is the panic and helplessness one feels when one knows that they are completely unprepared for this field and have no confidence in it, yet they have no choice but to bite the bullet and face the inevitable difficult assessment.

Recalling what Teacher Xia had just argued and announced about the reincarnation truth regarding the identities of the Golden Blood and Titans... Bai E couldn't help but feel a deep anxiety about the future of his own brother.

"Gentlemen... let us continue on our journey." Lunebis seemed to have snapped out of its silence, breaking the stillness with its voice. "On the way, we will continue to tell the untold story of Seneos."

The group passed through the stable yet strange Hundred Realms Gate once again.

On the other side of the door, the view suddenly opened up. Countless broken domes and covered bridges floated in the sea of ​​clouds, and many buildings were half-collapsed, covered by eternal dampness and moss.

"This... was once the main settlement of the Rain People," Lunebis's voice became extremely low, filled with a poignant sadness at the sight of the place.

"Here, Seneos witnessed firsthand the Titan Egler's indifference to the injustices and persecution suffered by the Rain People."

She also saw through the baseness of her people; they could only secretly resent the Titans' favoritism and injustice, but never dared to truly direct their anger towards the absolute center of their faith, or to launch any substantial resistance.

Its voice carried an indescribable sadness and anger: "They only know how to turn jealousy and resentment into cold knives, skillfully stabbing them into the backs of their compatriots who are considered 'outcasts'."

Yet they never mustered the sliver of courage to pursue the true source of their hatred, to question the high and mighty deity.

“How innocent she was back then.” Lunebis seemed to see that lonely yet resolute figure again. “So powerful, enough to shake the gods, yet so naive, believing that as long as the chains were broken, everyone could be free…”

Sorapis's aura of light picked up the words, his voice hoarse and heavy: "We, along with her, embarked on that arduous path to challenge the 'Sky,' filled with unrealistic hopes."

Chapter 132 Feng Jin: The weight of the truth far outweighs my own likes and dislikes.

“But,” its tone took a sharp turn, filled with the pain of disillusionment,

"When we finally defeated Aegler after a hard-fought battle, and heard His defeated screams and cries... we looked down at the ground with hope, and at the people we were trying to 'save'."

"But what we saw... was not cheering, not celebration, and certainly not the joy of liberation..."

Lunebis's voice trembled, "All we saw was the unbearable fear on everyone's face! A thousand years of faith were overturned in an instant, bringing not awakening, but the complete collapse of the entire spiritual world!"

Sorapis added softly, each word seemingly steeped in despair: "In the moment of victory, there was no glory, no celebration. Only the terrified crowd in chaos, crying out, pushing and trampling each other."

When centuries of faith were overthrown in a single day, they...regressed into beasts acting solely on instinct, even resorting to cannibalism.

"This...this is completely different from historical records!" Feng Jin couldn't help but exclaim, her face filled with disbelief.

"The myths passed down by the Sky Clan clearly record that when Aegler was seriously injured, he intended to fight to the death and mobilized his power to tear down the entire sky of Onfaros and use it as a weapon to smash the earth."

To prevent the cataclysmic destruction, the hero Seneos chose to sacrifice himself, merging with the Titan's remains to seal Him away!

Bai E sighed and said with emotion:

"Erasing away the cruelty of the process, the truth of the bloodshed, and the lament of the mediocre, and instead amplifying and praising the ultimate glory and sacrifice of the heroes—this has been the case in epics and legends from ancient times to the present."

"Little Bai Mo...?" Xi Lian noticed Bai Mo, who had suddenly stood still and whose aura had become unusually concentrated, and called out to him softly with some doubt.

She could sense that Bai Mo seemed to have made up his mind about something.

"Sister Xilian, I'm fine." Bai Mo didn't turn around; his gaze was fixed on the still slowly changing celestial barrier in the distance, his voice calm yet brimming with suppressed turbulent emotions.

“I’ve just had enough… enough of Aegler’s endless hiding and running away. This time… I’m going to push him to the brink of despair once and for all.”

"Son of Man... what do you intend to do?" Lunebis sensed the terrifying destructive energy gathering on Bai Mo's body, and her soul aura trembled slightly as she asked with a tone of surprise and uncertainty.

Bai Mo slowly tightened his grip on the uniquely shaped "Heavenly Fire" greatsword. The dark red patterns on the blade lit up one by one, emitting a deep hum. He took a deep breath and said, word by word:

"I want to try... what if I lift the lid off the Eye of Dawn and Dusk? Then I'll see where it can hide!"

Before the words were even finished, there was no more hesitation!

"boom--!!!!!"

The boundless, dark red flames, like a volcano suppressed for ten thousand years, burst forth fiercely from the "Heavenly Fire" greatsword!

The flames did not burn in all directions, but instead coalesced into an incredibly powerful torrent of energy that surged upwards, defying the heavens!

Wherever the torrent of flames passed, space itself distorted and trembled! The blazing tongues of fire violently licked everything in their path—

Including the suspended marble walkway, the ancient architectural ruins, and the celestial colossal wall itself!

This sword strike was not a simple slash; it was like a red-hot iron burning through thin paper, piercing through the ancient structure and barriers of countless layers of the sky fortress with unstoppable force!

Finally, under the utterly shocked gazes of everyone, the destructive torrent slammed into the outermost dome of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk!

"Crack—Boom!!!"

A chilling, deafening shattering sound echoed across the entire cloud peak! Countless massive fragments of crystal walls and architectural ruins crumbled and plummeted into the boundless sea of ​​clouds below.

All that could be seen was the homeland of the wind violet—this magnificent Eye of Dawn and Dusk, whose upper half had been almost cleaved and split in two!

A colossal, terrifying rift pierced through the entire city-state!

The pure and dazzling "morning light" from the highest point of the sky shone through the huge crack without any obstruction, falling into this area that had been closed for thousands of years!

Under Bai Mo's deliberate control, only the topmost screen of this devastated celestial wall miraculously remained intact, struggling to function and displaying the shattered sky.

As for the other giant screens, they have all fallen into boundless darkness and silence due to excessive heat or physical damage.

"Watch out!" Feng Jin, recovering from her shock, immediately warned, pointing to the bottomless crevice below.

"Don't go near the edge! Below the Eye of Dawn and Dusk is an ancient energy pool filled with boiling liquid gold! If you fall in, it's all over!"

"Son of man! You... actually possess such world-destroying power?!"

Sorapis's voice was filled with unprecedented shock and a hint of barely concealed fear. It finally understood why these people had the audacity to confront the Titans.

"No wonder...no wonder you dared to challenge the authority of the sky with only a few people..."

"Let's go," Bai Mo's voice remained calm, as if the earth-shattering attack just now was merely a casual gesture.

He withdrew the heavenly fire and turned his gaze to the only intact floating platform directly above the rift.

"Go to that platform closest to the heavens. It's time to bring destruction to Aigle..."

The halos of Lunebis and Sorapis's souls turned towards the Wind Violet simultaneously, their tone becoming incredibly solemn, even carrying a sense of testing:

"Young Hyacinthus, follow us to the highest platform. There, you will see the unknown side behind the legend."

When you face the truth that has been buried for a thousand years, will your steps... still be as firm as they are now?

"That truth is destined to shake everything you've believed in since childhood. Girl, are you... really ready to face it?"

Facing the weighty words of the two ancient guides, Feng Jin took a few deep breaths. She raised her head, her eyes still holding a hint of nervousness about the unknown, but even more so a clear and resolute determination:

“I am ready. Whatever the sealed history may be, I believe that all the ancestors of the Sky Clan will give me strength and encourage me to make the right decision. This mission that spans thousands of years, its weight... far outweighs my own likes and dislikes and personal opinions.”

Chapter 133 The Truth Behind the Legend

Her words were clear and sincere, carrying a sense of inclusiveness and understanding: "If what I have to face is a history that has been deliberately distorted, a lie that has been passed down for thousands of years..."

Then I'm willing to believe that the person who initially fabricated this lie must have had their own reasons and difficulties in doing so.

“And that reason,” her gaze swept over her companions, finally settling on the two strange beast spirits.

"I'm also willing to assume... that it was out of some kind of benevolent protection. That's how I see the world, and that's my... choice."

The souls of Sorapis and Lunebis seemed slightly moved by Feng Jin's words and remained silent for a moment.

“Since you have made such a decision… then move forward! We have secured for you the rainbow bridge to the truth!” Sorapis said in a deep voice.

"Following this path, you will reach the highest domed platform—'The Fortress Skull'."

“And there…” Lunebis’s voice echoed in the shattered Sky City, “I will reveal to you the truth that the legend has been concealed…”

On that platform closest to the sky, the truth, buried by dust for thousands of years, is revealed at this moment.

The aura of Lunaybis’s soul turned to Xilian, its voice filled with endless regret: “You once praised her, saying that her love for the Son of Man was deep and unconditional, like the heavens encompassing all things.”

But...when she finally discovered that those shallow, fragile, and selfish mortals could not bear her overly idealistic love, she...sigh..."

A sigh conveyed all the disillusionment and sorrow.

"After witnessing the atrocities of people killing each other and trampling on their own kind, all the beautiful visions that Seneos had before declaring war on the Titans—freedom, justice, and unity—vanished into cold bubbles at that moment."

She was utterly disillusioned by the weakness, shortsightedness, and baseness of human nature. Seneos possessed the power to kill gods.

But she sadly discovered that her spear was utterly incapable of eradicating the deep-seated flaws of 'fear' and 'selfishness' within each person's heart.

"Her unconditional tolerance and sacrifice did not bring her awakening, but rather ruthless betrayal and trampling."

Her deep, selfless love for the Son of Man was ultimately burned away by the coldness of reality, leaving only boundless anger and despair.

Sorapis's voice continued, revealing the bloodiest page: "Thus, Seneos, utterly despairing of humanity, made a mad decision—she sentenced all the Sky Children she had tried to 'save' to death!"

Its soul aura pointed to the abyss below the platform, faintly visible and churning with scorching golden light: "In the name of the newly ascended god-slayer, she personally threw them... all her people, into the boiling golden pool beneath our feet!"

“On that day,” Lunebis’s voice was like a lament, “countless members of the Sky Clan fell from this dome they were once so proud of, wailing as they were mercilessly swallowed and melted by the golden but deadly lava… The sky was stained red with the blood and cries of the Son of Man.”

“Then,” Sorapis finally said, his tone becoming hollow and cold, “completely heartbroken, she chose to merge with the dying remains of Aegler, thereby gaining eternal power and life, and at the same time… she also completely abandoned the part that belonged to her as a ‘human being’.”

Feng Jin listened quietly, her body swaying slightly, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.

Her lifelong beliefs, her family's millennia-long vigil, all her pride and sense of mission were subjected to the most intense and brutal impact at this moment.

"Seneus, who brought death upon... all the Sky Children... Seneos, who abandoned humanity and merged with the Titans..."

She murmured to herself, her voice trembling so much it was almost incoherent, "If...if this is the path she ultimately chose...then I...and my ancestors, for the past thousand years...whose long-cherished wish have we been waiting for?!"

What, then, is the meaning of what we are holding onto?!

A profound sense of confusion and pain gripped her: "Seneus, who has abandoned humanity... Am I and the ancestors of the Court of Dusk really... really her direct descendants? Or... something else?"

Standing to the side, Xi Lian recalled the gleam in Feng Jin's eyes as she spoke of their ancestors, and the pride she had painstakingly maintained when everyone in the Holy City regarded Feng Jin as a descendant of a hero.

She also thought of the look on Feng Jin's face when she was alone, a look of heavy burden on her mission yet still choosing to be strong... A sharp pang of heartache welled up in her heart.

She instinctively stepped forward, wanting to support the girl who seemed particularly frail at that moment.

However, Feng Jin gently waved her hand. Although her face was pale and her breathing was rapid, she forced herself to straighten her spine and stand firmly on this land of cruel truth.

“No matter what,” her voice still trembled, but was unusually clear, “I will not shirk my mission. The truth… may be cruel, but knowing it is part of my responsibility.”

She looked at Xi Lian with pleading eyes, "Lianbao, can I ask you for a favor? I want to... witness that covered-up history with my own eyes. Use your power to let me see... what really happened at that moment."
