Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Oh dear! I just summoned a miracle and am not ready for battle. I'll have to rely on the two heroes more often."

Tibo stepped aside and said cutely:

"Please help Mr. Nordus, they are innocent."

"Understood." Seeing that the group was about to be in danger, Dan Heng immediately rushed towards the group of monsters and fought with the sculptures with his bare hands.

Hearing the jarring sound of the collision, Yan Huan's grief intensified.

"My God, I have no idea how much it hurts to hit a rock with my hand."

"Ah, sorry..." Tibo remembered the incident of Bai E breaking Danheng's spear.

"I'll just have to make do with something else." Yan Huan pulled out a golden spear from somewhere and hurled it. Like a skewer, it pierced through three Heavenly Punishment soldiers before embedding itself straight into a stone pillar.

Upon seeing this, Dan Heng immediately rushed towards the stone pillar, pulled out his spear and used it as a lance, and began fighting the Heavenly Punishment soldiers again.

It took about two minutes for the last sculpture to finally fall.

"Phew... Thank you three for saving my life." Seeing that all the enemies had been defeated, the old man hiding to the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Nodus,” Tibo quickly stepped forward and advised:

“Veltus is right, it’s dangerous for you here. You should come back to Ohmma with us.”

The old man remained reluctant. "Child, I think I've made myself very clear."

“The priests would rather die on the path of pursuing their faith than live a life of ignominy in a foreign land.”

Yan Huan took the spear from Dan Heng. "I see you really want to live. Why don't you have another chat with those sculptures?"

"This..." The old man was speechless again.

“Sir, we fully understand your faith in the Titans,” Tibo said sincerely.

"Perhaps in your eyes, Cephalus, who protects the holy city, is a foreign god."

“But we swear to you in the name of Janus, the Gate of All Paths, that as long as the Golden Blood exists, Ohmar will protect every citizen of the Titans, and we will be one.”

"I swear in the name of Janus, who are you?" The old man was taken aback.

“…Don’t you remember, Nodus?” Tibo blinked her sapphire-like eyes.

“My name is Tirispius.”

"What?!" The old man was shocked, looking at Tibo with disbelief, his eyes clearing.

"It's actually the High Priest!"

"How did you become like a child? No, I am a tribal priest, yet I have dared to speak of faith before you! I am truly ungrateful! Please forgive me..."

Seeing that Tibao didn't have a crooked mouth, Yan Huan said:

"Now that your high priest has come to take you away in person, you're not going to stay here any longer, are you?"

"That's nonsense," the old man sighed.

"If I continue to persist, will it prove that my faith is higher than that of the High Priest?"

"Nodus, we don't want to force you, but you should also think more about your fellow tribesmen."

Tibo continued to persuade:

"Young people believe in you, just as you believe in me."

“If you are unwilling to leave, they will remain in this temple and become the souls of those who perish under Nicardi’s spear.”

Nodus nodded slightly. "If this is your [divine oracle], I have no reason not to obey it."

"High Priest, please lead us on a long voyage once again."

After Tibo revealed her noble identity, the old man immediately obeyed and cooperated obediently.

At the same time, Bai E and the man with the mustache who was holding a bomb came over to check the situation.

"Mr. Nordus, you've agreed to leave?"

The man with the mustache brandished the explosive pack in his hand, his expression earnest.

“I suddenly realized that I shouldn’t have blown myself up. If you insist on staying here, I will blow you up first in place of those Divine Punishment soldiers.”

"That way, when future generations write your biography, they can portray you as much more noble..."

"You rascal! It seems these days have really driven you crazy," the old man roared.

“Veltus, I still don’t agree with your approach. But so be it, let’s give the Golden Blood enough trust.”

Bai E nodded and looked at everyone, "The Earth Beast caravan that was supposed to pick us up hasn't arrived yet. Let's all rest in a safe place for a while."

After the old man led the remaining followers away, Danheng looked at Bai'er and Tibao:

Unfortunately, our questions remain unanswered; in fact, they have increased.

"Now that the storm has passed, could you two please enlighten us?"

“Of course.” Bai’er smiled. “Come with me.”

After leading Yan Huan and Dan Heng to a secluded corner, Bai E turned around and said:

"It seems you two have already realized our predicament. Thank you for your understanding."

In return, feel free to ask me anything you want to know.

Yan Huan thought for a moment and asked her first question: "What does 'apocalypse' mean?"

“It means exactly what it says, the struggle before the end of the world,” Bai Er replied.

"You mean, your civilization is facing its end? Like those sculptures called the Scourge Soldiers?"

“They are only a part,” Bai Er said solemnly.

"To be precise, the entire world is about to end. Those soldiers just now were the retinue of the Titanic Cardoli of Conflict."

"What is Titan?" Yan Huan asked again.

“The Titans are the ancient gods of Onphalus, once the faith of mankind, now their enemy,” Bai Er explained again.

"What about the Golden Descendants?"

"The Golden Descendants are the saviors who, according to prophecy, have golden blood flowing through their veins."

"What's your name?"

"My name is……"

"?"

Bai E smiled and looked at Yan Huan:

"What does this mean? I've already introduced myself. My name is Bai'er."

"But your face is so magnificent."

"Thank you, many people have told me I'm pleasing to the eye."

Regarding Bai E's casual reply, Dan Heng commented, "Your explanation is too concise."

It only provides some superficial explanations of the nouns, without offering any deeper information.

"Sorry, maybe I'm not particularly good at storytelling."

Bai E smiled apologetically.

"How about... we let Teacher Tibo explain it to you two?"

“Me?” Tibo paused for a moment, then looked at the two of them.

"But people always say my explanations are boring and long-winded, let me think..."

"By the way, Virtus and his companions are priests from Janusapolis. They must play the lyre very well. Why don't you play a tune for your two friends?"

"In Onphalus, a poem has been passed down since ancient times..."

"no need."

Dan Heng immediately called a halt.

I wanted to get some information, but they kept dodging the question and singing.

Instead of asking them, it would be more practical to send Yan Huan into the city to exchange gold bars for some information...

"Let's reunite with the refugees first."

Chapter 1169 This is the efficiency of the pioneers

After waiting for a while, a tremor suddenly came from outside.

Yan Huan walked out of the palace and found many tall, four-legged creatures slowly approaching. In front of them was a group of people dressed similarly to refugees.

Upon seeing Bai E, the leader waved to them.

Bai E nodded and said to the people behind him:

"Don't panic, our reinforcements have arrived. Everyone, get up quickly."

According to Bai'er's explanation, this huge creature is called the Earth Beast, and its food is red soil.

Not only can they be used as mounts, but their meat is also very delicious.

"Oh my god." Yan Huan ran over, touching the earth beast's thick, hairy thighs, looking quite regretful.

"They get ridden and eaten, and can only eat dirt... What kind of Onphalos cattle and horses are they?"

Bai E smiled faintly:

"These earth beasts are gentle and are loyal companions to humans."

"The mountain roads to the holy city are rugged; we'll have to rely on them."

"They are docile and easy to ride, even for first-timers. Want to give it a try?"

"If you really let me ride, then I won't be polite."

Yan Huan leaped onto the back of the earth beast, whose fur was quite comfortable to sit on.
