Star Train: Start with the Skyfire Sage

Chapter 511 The Trial Begins, Demigods Gather
"Is this Ohmma? It's truly magnificent."

Xing and Danheng entered the portal side by side. What greeted them was a city that blended classical and modern elements. The people walking on the streets were dressed in simple, ancient-style robes, but the signal receivers shaped like stone slabs in their hands and the various projection-like objects floating on their ears gave them a sense that this city was not simple.

“Those mechanical guardians on the street are intelligent machines.” Dan Heng’s eyes narrowed as he keenly noticed the difference on the street. People from all over the world and different races seemed to get along very well. Although this phenomenon is not unusual on other planets, it should be noted that Onfaros is facing the risk of the Black Tide. These people may be races from other planets. The fact that these people can gather here means that the other eleven planets of Onfaros have more or less mastered the technology of interstellar manned aviation.

"Could it be that the so-called 'Thousand Realms Gate' is actually spread throughout all the city-states of Onfaros in real time?" Xing suddenly thought of a terrible conjecture, and the fact was indeed as she thought. Wan Di saw through their conjecture and gave a simple explanation of the principle behind it.

"No need to look. Lady Tirispyos's [Gateway] divine power pervades all the places she has personally visited in Onpharos. As the greatest priestess in the world, Lady Tirispyos was the first person in Onpharos to travel across the entire galaxy on her own. This feat will still be engraved in the history of Onpharos and revered by the world even after a thousand years."

Wan Di spoke with a clear air of reverence. In fact, among all the demigods, this [Gateway] demigod was the oldest and most respected.

"You will be shattered into a thousand pieces and wither in the soil of a foreign land." This was the fate that this woman herself had ordained for herself from the oracle. However, all truly powerful demigods have transcended and surpassed their own destinies. After that, Onphalus's path to the future was no longer restricted.

In an instant, Wan Di's tone became heavy, but he didn't say much to Xing and the others. He just walked silently ahead, leading the two of them towards the top of the city-state.

Along the way, Xing and Danheng witnessed many rare and exotic sights, thieving spirits that steal things on the road, honest and simple earth beasts, chimeras lining up to go to work, as well as open-air baths and local customs from all over the world.

Xing picked up the camera that March 7 had given her before she left. She wanted to take some photos, but when she thought about Yao Luo's current situation, she couldn't muster any enthusiasm. She just silently kept the things she saw and heard along the way in her heart.

"Sigh, without our pioneering partners, it always feels like something's missing." Xing sighed inwardly and looked at Dan Heng beside her.

Although Dan Heng always wore the same expression, his inner thoughts were no less than anyone else's. He could also feel Xing's loneliness, or rather, he himself felt the same way. This journey could only be considered "pioneering" because of them.

In a daze, Dan Heng seemed to sense Yao Luo's aura surrounding the two of them, but this aura was very subtle, giving him the feeling that Yao Luo was in Ohema yet not quite in Ohema.

"Perhaps, this doubt can only be resolved when I see Yao Luo..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, above the Marble Palace, in a huge plaza closest to Kefal's body, many people were whispering and discussing something.

"The Citizens' Assembly? How long has it been since the Queen returned from her conquest of the Titans? At least several hundred years, right?"

"Yes, if I remember correctly, it has been three hundred years. It has also been nearly a hundred years since all of you demigods have gathered here together."

"Yes, everyone knows that Lady Agrea of ​​the Golden Weave and Lady Anasagoras of the Reason are close friends. Countless people in the Holy City are swooning over their friendship. I wonder if they can take a step forward this time they meet... Hehe."

"You've been reading too many romance novels! By the way, why isn't Newborn Butterfly updating yet? A lot of her plots feel so real, and the themes are all about those demigods..."

Suddenly, in the center of the square, a huge [Thousand Realms Gate] opened, as if tearing open a huge hole in the void. A massive earth beast emerged from it, and all the citizens' eyes immediately focused on the figures on the back of the earth beast.

"Look, it's the Queen, and those demigods too! My god, it's Lady Heather! What a day this is! They're all here!" The Earth Beast bent down, and the mechanical guards lifted the throne down and placed it on the ground. Several other demigods stepped down from its back, and the scene instantly erupted in cheers.

Bai'e and Xilian could only helplessly be surrounded by several guards. Although Kerudela ordered the guards not to put shackles on the two, they still felt uncomfortable. After all, no one would be in a good mood if they came to the big city from their hometown with great joy and were treated like this.

"Partner, if anything goes wrong, try to run away. Don't worry about me. I have a feeling that the empress's target was you from the beginning."

Bai E and Yao Luo stood together, communicating in the lowest possible voice. He knew that with Yao Luo's hearing, he would definitely be able to hear his whispers.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon either you or Xi Lian. At worst, we'll fight to the death." Yao Luo remained calm. Although he was caught off guard by the demigods, Yao Luo felt that if he really went all out, no one here could stop him, not even that sea monster.

From the shouts of passersby, Yao Luo had already heard her name, Heather, a name that perfectly matched Yao Luo's impression. Among those present, no one was stronger than this woman.

The surging power seemed inexhaustible. The imaginary energy within her body was enormous, probably more than all the people present combined. Her physical strength was also outrageous. When she pressed down on Yao Luo, Yao Luo almost felt as if the weight of the entire ocean was pressing down on him. Even the earth beast beside him probably didn't have as much strength as this woman's little finger.

Hazel looked at Yao Luo looking at her, her exquisite, pearl-like face remaining unmoved. She simply smiled quietly at Yao Luo, like a sea siren in mythology tempting a warrior. However, behind that smile, Yao Luo felt that all the water molecules in the space were aimed at his body in a certain way. If he made any movement, the weight comparable to the ocean would press down on him again.

"Oh dear, this little guy is the culprit who destroyed the world? Aya, our Queen hasn't misjudged him, has she? I think he's quite nice..."

Yao Luo's hair stood on end. Without anyone noticing, a figure as swift as a thief cat had quietly appeared in the group.

The golden metal boots walked silently on the ground, a unique head of silver hair swayed slightly in the wind, and bright blue eyes curved into crescents. He was only inches away from Yao Luo.

Yao Luo, however, did not see her movement trajectory at all. In just one more instant, she was next to Aglaia and gave the lady a big hug.

"Aya, I've missed you so much! You have no idea how difficult it is for us to run around without the Thousand Realms Gate. The boots you gave me are almost worn out. Next time you'll have to sew me a sturdier robe."

Aglaia's expression immediately turned doting, her beautiful emerald green eyes sparkling as she stroked Aglaia's back repeatedly, behaving like a parent. The people around them simply smiled kindly, seemingly unfazed by their conversation.

"Hmph, what a waste of research time. If this conference doesn't produce any interesting conclusions, I'd rather go back to my research." As he spoke, a disc-shaped aircraft shimmering with both metallic and plant-like textures descended from the sky. The hatch opened, and a green-haired scholar stepped out. His solid muscles were like those of an earth beast, with the texture of rock. He was flipping through a thick book that could easily hit someone. Behind him, two girls followed, chatting and laughing.

Finally, a figure descended from the sky, her long red hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her holy aura almost covered the entire square. The moment she appeared, the entire place fell silent, and everyone quietly placed their hands on their chests to show their respect for this demigod.

"Gentlemen, I hope I am not too late. In the name of the demigod of the [Path], I wish this meeting will lead us to the path of victory."

Yao Luo looked at everyone present, his eyes blazing with a dark red light, and muttered, "Demigods, it seems they're all here..."
