Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"The spark is not here."

With the defeat of Nicardi's divine body, the remaining Scourge soldiers in the Holy City also began to retreat.

Inside the Marble Palace, a woman named Aglaia greeted Dan Heng and Yan Huan, saying:

"Welcome to Onfaros, two new allies of Ohmma."

"This welcoming banquet wasn't exactly elegant, but it helped us dispel our doubts."

"From this moment forward, you will be honored guests of the Holy City and distinguished guests of the Golden Clan."

"You are... the city lord named Aglaia?"

Sensing the woman's aura, Yan Huan immediately concluded that she was the top leader of the Holy City.

Especially her unfocused eyes.

Aglaia's vision seemed unfocused, as if she were blind.

Noticing Yan Huan's gaze, Aglaia smiled faintly:

“Those who have golden blood flowing through their veins always have something that sets them apart from ordinary people; in my case, it is [the senses].

"There is no need to measure the world with light anymore. The wind will carry my message along the golden thread, sending countless threads to my fingertips."

"Just like right now, the virtues of the two of you have transformed into a warm current, pleasing my skin."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan slowly looked at Dan Heng, "She speaks so eloquently, she's clearly a cultured person..."

“Indeed,” Danheng nodded slightly, “It’s on par with Sunday.”

Bai E, standing to the side, looked somewhat disappointed.

"Just a clone... Hasn't my test yet?"

Aglaia looked at him. "Following the thread of fate, you've laid the first stroke of the opening chapter. How does it feel?"

Bai E shook his head.

"To be honest, it's not that great. I thought it would be more difficult."

"Of course, the contributions of our two allies are also significant."

He laughed again.

"Especially those golden chains, which are exceptionally sturdy."

"It seems that Brother Yan Huan still held back against Wan Di."

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key." Yan Huan waved her hand magnanimously. "Just know that we are allies."

"Of course, the sincerity of our two allies is evident to all."

Immediately, Bai'e looked at Aglaia.

"Just now I sensed... that Teacher Tian was following those fleeing Divine Punishment soldiers. Was that also part of the plan?"

“Of course.” Aglaia nodded.

"We had a premonition of this attack and were not going to waste a golden opportunity."

"After Nicardori fell into madness, its fortress vanished into the mist, and no one knows its whereabouts."

"But now, contrary to its usual behavior, it has launched an offensive against Ohm. The holy city will also uncover its hiding place and sound the horn of counterattack."

These words confirmed Ohma's next move: the Golden Blood would lead the charge in fighting back.

"It's really a chain reaction," Bai E said, looking at the two people on the train.

“I promised them that once things had settled down, I would answer all the questions about Onphalus for our allies.”

"But Ohmma has just escaped a disaster, and there are still many traumatized people who need to be comforted."

"Aglaia, could you do it for me?"

The implication was that Yan Huan and Dan Heng were to be handed over to this blonde woman.

“These two distinguished guests have devoted themselves to the Holy City, so I will naturally treat them well.”

Aglaia agreed.

"Alright." Bai E nodded, then said to the two people on the train:

"Gentlemen, come find me at Marble Market when you're tired of hearing my stories."

"In any case, I owe you a treat."

After Bai'er left, Aglaia asked the two of them:

"So, where should we begin?"

Only upon reaching this point did the train crew gain the approval of the Golden Descendants.

At least it looks like I won't go to jail.

“Could you wait a moment, Ms. Aglaia?” Danheng inquired.

"Now that the storm has passed, we want to accomplish one mission first: to leave a beacon of [pioneering] here."

“I assure you, this will not have any negative consequences—please treat them as a ritual of the journey.”

“It’s alright,” Aglaia said generously. “Please make yourselves at home.”

So Dan Heng reached out and planted the [Boundary Anchor].

“There were many similar beacons along the way you came,” Aglaia said, pointing behind Yan Huan.

Upon arriving at the unfamiliar location, Yan Huan employed her traditional skill: she would drop a beacon wherever she went.

Along his route, to those who could see it, the ground was covered with countless teleportation marks.

Unfortunately, the Void Treasury's mimicry ability is limited, and its Soul Steel body is not very good either, so it can only transfer positions within Onpharos.

"Oh, this is my curse, don't worry about it," Yan Huan explained.

"What a wonderful start! I'm becoming more and more curious about where you two come from."

Aglaia extended an invitation:

"But at this moment, please allow me to fulfill my duties as a host..."

"The following conversation will be a bit long, distinguished guests. Let's find a suitable place to listen."

As the wrathful soldiers withdrew, many residents of the holy city returned, moving in and out of the Marble Palace.

"The Marble Palace is also the public bathhouse of Ohma. Normally, the atmosphere would be even more lively."

"Oh? It really is a bathhouse."

Yan Huan had wanted to ask this from the very beginning: the people here wore loose-fitting clothes, which looked just like some kind of bathrobe.

I never imagined that such a large palace was actually a bathhouse, and a mixed-gender bathhouse at that.

Seeing some people returning to the bathhouse and getting into the water, Yan Huan couldn't help but ask:

How often is the water changed here? Do children urinate in it?

Aglaya: "..."

Yan Huan: "When do you start filling the pool with water in the morning? I'll come earlier tomorrow; the pool is cleaner right after the water has been filled."

Aglaia: "Mr. Yan Huan, the water in this bathhouse is no ordinary water. If nothing unexpected happens, it will remain clear forever."

"Did the child pee in there?" Yan Huan looked at a child who had jumped into the water not far away.

"Does 'keeping it clear' mean purifying the water the child puts in into the same spiritual water, or...?"

“Your focus seems a bit unusual,” Aglaia said, turning around with a smile.

"Do you no longer care about the origins of the Titans, or your identity as a Golden Clan?"

“I find the water quality issue more appealing,” Yan Huan blinked.

"Men, women, young and old all went into the water together, not just in public baths, but even in swimming pools..."

"Don't worry about it," Dan Heng said to Yan Huan.

"The water here must have been blessed by some deity, and it is quite different from what we are familiar with."

"Mr. Danheng is right."

After leading the two to a secluded spot in the bath, Aglaia turned around and spoke:

"Since you two are new here, you must be full of doubts about the Titans, the Golden Blood, and the Oracles that people talk about."

"Before answering specific questions, I would like to show you the history of Onphalus."

"Look over there." Aglaia raised her hand slightly to the left.

"The spirits of the bath are dancing; this sacred water is a gift from the Titans of the Ocean and can take you two back to the distant past."

"That's too much trouble, making us watch memories again." Yan Huan seemed reluctant.

"You can just explain it to us. You're so educated, you can definitely explain it to us in simple language."

"Oh?" Aglaia was somewhat surprised.

Chapter 1174 How about this?

"You two seem to have heard a lot of tedious explanations, but please rest assured."

Aglaia smiled faintly:

"Don't underestimate the bathhouse sprites; they know how to please people."

She led the two to the bathhouse fairy, and slightly opened her mouth, "Bathhouse fairy, please listen to me."

"Please use the words this distinguished guest prefers to use when speaking to him—"

In an instant, the bathhouse fairies, like blue butterflies, began to flutter about.

They were accompanied by pleasant, childlike voices.

"Okay, sit up straight!"
