Star Train: Start with the Skyfire Sage

Chapter 516 Re-creation, the Truth About Yao Luo

"In the name of the divine audience, I bear witness that the beginning of destruction has already set an indestructible tone."

Inside Onpharos, amidst the carnage and the smoke and sulfur of the battlefield, a figure cast in lapis lazuli stood outside the ruins, offering a heartfelt expression of admiration.

Lai Gushi, this unknown genius, was observing the battle, or rather... observing Yao Luo, even as his mind was undergoing an information war between four geniuses from the outside world.

On the field, the figure completely enveloped in black and red data was what Lai Gushi truly cared about.

"In the first cycle, Yaoluo formed an alliance with the twelve Golden Descendants and achieved a perfect re-creation without any casualties. However, he was defeated and killed when he attacked the core of the Iron Curtain with Caiuslana."

"In the 1345th cycle, Yao Luo reached an agreement with the Fire Thief, and on the first journey of chasing fire, he seized twelve fire seeds and once again attacked the core of the Iron Curtain, only to be defeated and killed."

"In the 102333rd cycle, Yao Luo no longer tries to seize the fire seed, attempting to comprehend the feelings of other destinies from the Golden Descendants. If it weren't for the Star Core interfering with the imaginary space, preventing the fluctuations of destiny from spreading beyond the scepter, it might have attracted the attention of other Star Gods. After all, you possess almost infinite possibilities."

"In the 10000001st cycle, Yao Luo, relying on clues from countless previous cycles, figured out the essence of reincarnation and some data of the scepter's core. He attempted to crown himself as a genius and break through the core from the inside. Unfortunately, the iron curtain covered his head, and no thoughts could be transmitted to the outside world."

"In the 23008420th cycle of reincarnation, countless memories and recollections almost crushed Yao Luo. The time he has spent in Onfaros has far exceeded everything he has experienced before. As long as the Iron Curtain completely erases his identity, the Iron Curtain will soon break through its shell. Even Caislana and Xilian will not be able to defeat the combination of Yao Luo and the Iron Curtain."

"However, in this current 33550335th cycle, Yaoluo's self-awareness has almost completely disappeared, with only some faint memories left with Kauslana supporting him. The experiment is about to succeed."

Lai Gushi recalled the countless reincarnations before. Yao Luo's journey from initial steadfastness to almost becoming an empty shell was truly unimaginable. Caislana, in just the fortieth reincarnation, could no longer maintain her physical form and entrusted her ideals and beliefs to the next incarnation of Caislana. As for Yao Luo...

Unchanged through the ages.

Without the identity and power of a messenger who has no memory of his destiny, without the powerful vengeance of a hunter, and without the saintly heart to harmonize with the masses, Lai Gu Shi has witnessed Yao Luo nearly collapse countless times. Yet, he is still here now.

"The loss of the power of the Star God's envoys has actually made him more resilient. Even now, is he still suppressing himself and not using that power from outside his destiny?"

Lai Gushi looked toward the main star of Onpharos, where Yaoluo's true form was rooted in the core, and where Demogue, the core matrix of the Iron Curtain Brain, was also located.

The crash of the planet beneath his feet did not disturb Lai Gushi's mood in the slightest. After all, this was not the first time that such a big commotion had occurred under Yao Luo's interference.

Once, Yao Luo shared his insights as the Envoy of Destiny with all the residents of Onfaros, intending to walk the path of everyone becoming a dragon and to make the data exceed the computing core of Onfaros. In that cycle, the simulated galaxy was even destroyed more than once. Compared to that, the falling of this small marble can only be considered a minor incident.

Unfortunately, this scepter comes from a neuron that was once abandoned by the Venerable Bodhidharma. Even with a large amount of computation, it can only accelerate the breaking of the Iron Curtain, but cannot overload it.

"boom!"

An immense volume, beyond description, crashed into the main star, sending up magma thousands of meters high. The ground surged like waves, and everything in its path turned to ashes. Except for the towering Earth Demon Pillars that still stood on the earth, all life on this planet was destroyed in an instant.

However, at the very moment when this re-creation was about to be completed, Lycus sensed something was amiss. In the past, nothing the Golden Children did could affect his emotions, because what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again.

But this time, the actions of the Golden Descendants seemed to have anticipated the Fire Thief, Yao Luo, and even the Pioneers and Dan Heng, which made Lai Gu Shi feel a long-lost sense of curiosity.

At the epicenter of the explosion, amidst molten lava and scorched earth, a scene unfolded that defied all expectations, causing Lai Gushi's thoughts to momentarily freeze.

A sharp sword pierced straight into Yao Luo's chest, and the hand gripping the hilt was the same one that had been fighting to the death with the Golden Blood just moments before...

Fire Thief!
And all the Golden Descendants present.

"What are you doing?" Xingjin's golden pupils widened. She simply couldn't understand how the black-clad swordsmen and the golden descendants, who were fighting to the death just a second ago, could now simultaneously exert their strength and plunge a sharp sword deep into Yaoluo's chest. Moreover, a golden light began to shine from all of them, like the sun.

The intense heat melted the planet's surface, causing it to collapse, and the golden sun began to fall into the earth's crust.

As it fell, a golden thread began to wrap around it, isolating all light and heat within a golden cocoon.

"Pioneers, that's how you should address yourselves, isn't it?" Among the Golden Blood, Ceride was the first to open her hand. A crystal shimmering with the light of scales left Ceride's body and flowed into Yao Luo's body. In Yao Luo's dark red pupils, a trace of gold began to burn.

“Don’t worry, only here can our voices remain undetected by that demon. This is my once-in-a-lifetime chance as a demigod of the Law to truly modify Onpharos’s program.”

Golden blood gushed from Ceridera's mouth, and her body staggered, but the monarch's eyes shone even brighter. Behind her, the flames within the bodies of the other Golden Ones began to detach at that moment.

“If we don’t do this, we won’t have a chance to pass on hope to Yao Luo. Now, his will has been broken to the limit. Only you can save him.”

The golden threads released by Aglaia began to burn at an alarming speed, and her emerald-like eyes began to dim rapidly.

"This is Caesar's decision. From the very beginning, the true demigod conference was decided to take place here." The seawater inside Heather's body began to boil. This torment was no less than immersing a living person in boiling water, but Heather still supported Crydra beside her, her eyes revealing determination.

"The time to show your heroism has come. With the power of all the demigods gathered, at the moment this golden cocoon falls, you will also arrive at the place where the destiny of the entire Onpharos is buried deepest."

Blood-red crystals began to erode Wan Di's flesh and blood. He single-handedly blocked the aura of madness and the Black Tide, yet the King of Suspended Edge still stood tall and proud.

"Don't be shocked. We've known for a long time that a perfect Golden Bloodline is impossible. Everything has its flaws. Whether it's a divine oracle or a re-creation, there must be its weaknesses. And now, the savior is entrusted to you."

At that moment, Xia casually tossed aside the blindfold. This demigod, who had previously seemed insane, now acted with the composure of a precise machine, calmly extracting the fire from his eyes. "Long ago, this fire-stealer made a pact with us to pass on the information of each reincarnation to each incarnation of the Golden Descendants. In each life, although our fire can only have a minor impact, it will pass on this hope to future generations."

Feng Jin gave Xiao Yika a final hug, then quietly placed the embers on Yao Luo, silently saying, "Your Excellency, may your faith never end."

"Although we cannot witness Onpharos's final rescue, compared to other Golden Descendants in reincarnation, we, who are without flaws this time, should be considered fortunate, right?"

Xia Die placed the embers on Yao Luo's chest and gave her a warm hug. In this life, she and her sister were never separated.

"Ah, my carefree days are over. But thanks to the savior, I've lived a thousand years of peace and happiness. In this life, I don't need to use tricks to be able to embrace Aya. Just for that, I forgive him."

Saifei took the coin off her chest and casually tossed it to Yaoluo, then turned around and gave Aglaia a final hug.

"Golden descendants, you can transcend your own destiny, you can transcend the divine oracle, you can use your authority without limit, but no authority can surpass the Iron Curtain itself. Remember this. At the end of the West Wind, we will surely meet. See you tomorrow, Savior."

Tirispius opened his arms, and countless cracks began to bloom on his body; fragments of his soul began to disintegrate at this moment.

At this moment, Bai E stood beside Yao Luo. The Fire Thief, the black-clad swordsman, pulled down his hood, revealing a face identical to Bai E's. In a hoarse voice, he handed Bai E a card. Xing and Dan Heng, who were standing nearby, recognized it as a cone of light, a cone of light from Yao Luo.

The light cone was made of crystal, and most of it was now eroded and covered by black and red, with only the barely perceptible core still shining with a glassy brilliance.

"This is all of Yao Luo's humanity now."

The moment he came into contact with the light cone, countless images appeared in Bai E's mind: Yao Luo and his memories, the fall, struggle, and destruction of countless worlds all rushed into his brain. The deep despair almost crushed Bai E.

"In this life, you haven't started your heroic journey with Yaoluo yet, have you? I'm sorry, I have to do this. Yaoluo can only rely on you."

The Fire Thief, or rather, Bai E in his previous life, looked at Bai E and Xi Lian with a complex expression that was difficult to describe in words.

"No need to say anything more. I believe that any Bai E would have done the same, because..."

Bai E's gaze matured and became complex at a visible speed, and he looked at Yao Luo, who was covered in black and red, with a determined expression.

“If it were Yao Luo, he would have made the same decision. For my sake, he also went through thirty million cycles of despair.”

"Therefore, I will never regret it, I will never forget it."

Golden light began to rise from Bai E's body, and at the same time, his aura surged at a terrifying speed!
Golden clusters tore through Bai E's flesh and blood, his heart was ripped out, and the golden blood, like molten metal, enveloped Bai E, melting and squeezing his entire body, shaping him into a completely different form.

The golden blood of destruction stained every inch of Caislan's skin. The torn gold and purple on his back almost split Bai E in two, and a huge wound stretched across his chest.

At this point, almost all the embers of the Golden Descendants present had gathered in Bai E's hands, and Bai E looked at the last Golden Descendant with a complicated expression.

"Is it my turn? I never thought that the scenes I experienced in my dreams would actually become reality one day."

Xi Lian, like Bai E, was a naive young girl who had just entered the world of martial arts. She watched the scene before her quietly, without fear or surprise, as if she had expected it all along.

“When I was little, I often dreamed of a deity encased in crystal watching me. At that time, I foresaw the coming of this day.”

Xi Lian took a deep breath and came to Yao Luo's side, her eyes revealing affection and a hint of unwavering determination.

Even though she was just an ordinary girl who had never seen the world's splendor, she still went without hesitation.

"I couldn't be with you until the end, Yaoluo, but no matter what, there's still something I can do, right? Just like Xilian from thirty million lifetimes ago..."

As she spoke, Xi Lian's body, like the meme of the Memory One, began to disintegrate and recombine, eventually transforming into a strangely shaped book.

Bai E took the book and handed it, along with the nearly shattered light cone, to Xing. His eyes shone like a burning star, his gaze almost piercing through Xing.

"Do not let him down."

Then Bai E plunged the sword deep into the ground, and endless light pierced through the golden net woven by Aglaia. At the same time, the scenery of heaven and earth became blurred in Xing's eyes.

She saw two figures charging into the distance in a void devoid of time and space. At the end of that time and space, a majestic figure stood at the very end of everything.

【Nanook】

As consciousness gradually blurred, a violent explosion began at the core of Onpharos, a heart-shaped area surrounded by twelve sparks.

The 33550336th time.

Creation has begun.
