Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"This guy was just picking up some equipment, it's not like it's worth killing him, is it?"

"..."

“Go back and look at those shattered corpses,” Gnaeus said in a deep voice.

"Because of his looting, many of the remains that remained in the site were destroyed."

"How could the souls of the deceased rest in peace if they saw such a tragic scene?"

"Or... are you willing to kill those warriors without hesitation, but show mercy to this filthy rat?"

"Give me an explanation, prove you're not as stupid as that rabble!"

“You Suspended Peak people are the fools.”

Yan Huan did not back down.

"Glory, dignity... it's all empty talk."

"They're just picking up some equipment to sell and fill their stomachs. It's not like they're going to kill him, is it?"

"All you do is fight all day long, what are you going to do with the civilians in Xuanfeng City?"

"What is the purpose of war? Isn't it to make life better for ordinary people?!"

"..."

Gnaeus was silent for a moment, then looked at the weapons merchant and said in a deep voice:

"...Get out of here, you dog-rat."

"You've been given a second chance at life today."

"Thank you, thank you all!" The weapons merchant immediately knelt down and kowtowed, bursting into tears of emotion.

"I...I will never appear around this city again, I promise!"

Perhaps fearing that Gnaeus might change his mind, he immediately got up, turned around, and ran away...

"I didn't expect you to care about those powerless weaklings."

Gnaeus looked at Yan Huan.

"In a city rife with conflict, such a person plays a negligible role; he is merely a coward who clings to life."

"Perhaps, I really suggest that the people here move to another city-state."

Yan Huan put her hands in her pockets:

"There will always be people who don't like war and want things to be better, and there's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"..."

"I don't agree with your point of view; that kind of life is meaningless."

Gnaeus turned and headed toward the next level.

"But I acknowledge your strength. If you can stop me, you are no ordinary person."

"The strong should naturally be respected."

"But my beliefs will never waver."

……

I don't know how many levels I've passed.

Yan Huan saw the golden lion head again.

In the future city of Suspended Edge, the Golden Lion Head is already on its last legs.

At this moment, it is gleaming and its sound is steady.

It was even a bit sleazy...

"The brave...the brave."

The golden lion head called out to Yan Huan and the other two:

"Come forward, come forward..."

"You might... be the savior of Suspended Peak City..."

"Hero... Hero! Come closer... let me see you clearly..."

"..."

The three slowly stepped forward, with Gnaeus standing at the very front. He looked up and asked:

"Are you calling me, Lion?"

“That’s right…that’s right.” The golden lion head seemed very pleased.

"The aura surrounding you... I haven't seen such a passionate soul in a long time."

"The most scorching meteor of Suspended Peak City has already flown away from us... What remains is just a flickering candle that may be extinguished at any moment."

"Meteor, is it referring to Wan Di?" Yan Huan asked, puzzled.

“Yes, Your Excellency.” Xia Die nodded.

The golden lion head continued:

"The old and senile king is plotting unspeakable schemes... They want to desecrate the divinity of Nicardoli, its soul, and the legacy it left to Suspended Peak."

"We need to be saved...we need a hero to bring us hope."

Upon hearing this, Gnaeus gave a reply.

"...I'm not here to save anyone, old lion. I'm here only to answer the call...to crush stupidity and greed."

The Golden Lion Head strongly agreed:

"Perhaps... that's exactly what we desperately need."

"Go forth, warrior... answer the call."

“I am old…weary…but I will watch you leave this place, and recite invincible prayers for you…”

Gnaeus nodded and moved on to the next level.

Looking at his back, Yan Huan always felt that this guy was surrounded by a halo, as if the spotlight of the entire Xuanfeng City was shining on him.

The three continued walking, and Xiaodie asked:

"Lord Gnaeus, what was the summons you heard...?"

“It comes from the depths of this city. It’s so close…it’s almost whispering in my ear.”

With Yan Huan's rapid solving of the puzzle, the three finally arrived at the Soul Forging Zone.

At this moment, the place is littered with the corpses of the Suspended Blade Men and the Heavenly Punishment Soldiers.

Seeing this, Yan Huan seemed to understand something.

Many contestants have died here. If weapons dealers come here to pick up bargains, they probably won't need to restock for a long time.

"So tragic... Whose desires are these festivals meant to satisfy?" Xia Die felt a pang of pity.

“A beast that has lost its target is merely following the trail of blood on instinct.” Gnaeus looked ahead.

At this moment, the three had arrived at the core area of ​​Suspended Edge City.

"We've come this far... Come to think of it, we were even imprisoned here before."

Having arrived in this area with slightly higher air temperatures, Yan Huan felt somewhat melancholy.

"Oh? What did you do wrong?" Gnaeus became interested.

"I think it's called... provocation?"

Yan Huan recalled:

"But it doesn't matter, anyway, any charge is just a compliment to me."

"It seems you can actually come and go freely in and out of Suspended Edge City," Gnaeus said in a deep voice.

"You have absolutely no respect for this place."

"Then may I ask, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Chapter 1255 A Mortal's Masterpiece

Do you really want to know?

"of course."

"Ha... well, I'll reluctantly tell you then."

Under Xia Die's questioning gaze, Yan Huan put her hands on her hips and said smugly:

"We came here, keeping an eye on this festival, all to kill Nicardoli!"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Die added:

"Hmm... We've received intelligence that the savage Titans of Strife are forging immortal bodies for themselves."

"If it is not stopped, it will pose a great threat to Onphalus in later generations."

"Hmph, a threat..."

Gnaeus said to the two men:

"Our goals are not conflicting; if we find Titan, we can each get what we need."

"Mm." Xia Die nodded.

"The souls of the victims still wander in this hall... Their meaningless sacrifices have caused them to suffer injustice, and their cries of agony never cease."

"Perhaps I can hear something from them."

Under the watchful eyes of Yan Huan and Gnaeus, Xia Die walked toward the corpses of the contestants.

"Show yourself, warrior's spirit, I know you have not found peace."
