Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Hehe, if it were a letter of commendation, it would be very prestigious."

"Danbao, I didn't expect you to find this." Feng Jin looked up and smiled at Dan Heng, saying:

"Although I haven't looked at it closely yet, I can roughly guess what it is without even looking..."

"It must contain something like, '[That Xia is disrespectful to the gods, and his existence is a threat to social order]'"

Based on her understanding of that summer, Feng Jin seemed quite certain.

"Is he that influential?" Dan Heng asked curiously.

"Yes."

Feng Jin smiled and said:

"Otherwise, how could he be called a [great performer]?"

"It is said that the first thing the teacher did after establishing his school of thought was to read his works aloud in front of everyone—"

"Let me repeat a part to you."

Feng Jin stood up, patted her collar and sleeves, and said in a deliberately serious tone:

"As for the Titans, do they truly conform to mortals' understanding of gods?"

"The world created by God must be perfect, but Onphalus is full of stupidity and ugliness!"

Dan Heng raised an eyebrow. "Very much his style. And then?"

"And then?" Feng Jin said with a smile:

"Then he was taken to the dock before he could even finish speaking."

"These are all everyday occurrences."

"It was called a trial, but it was actually a debate. He had to respond to the scholars' accusations one by one, or he would be expelled from the treehouse."

"For example, the first accusation."

Feng Jin then imitated the other old men, hunching her back and lowering her voice, she said:

"Cough-cough-"

Do you agree that the Titans shaped the heavens and the earth, and that the mountains and oceans are their masterpiece...?

Chapter 1356 He is the only one left in Shuting

Seeing Feng Jin staring at him, Dan Heng asked:

"Do you want me to stand in Na Ke Xia's shoes and answer for him?"

"Then... I agree."

"According to the myth, the sky, the earth, and the sea were all creations of the Titans, without a doubt."

"Hehe." Feng Jin chuckled.

"If teachers could answer like that, they probably wouldn't have to suffer like this."

"But at the time, he used the history of fire-chasing as an example to promote the idea that humanity also had the possibility of taking over divine authority."

“The opponents were naturally very dissatisfied with this answer, and thus came up with a second complaint.”

She then mimicked the old man's tone, speaking to Dan Heng in a serious and methodical manner:

"In the name of studying the soul... you defile the soul, engaging in transactions abhorred by God. Do you admit it?"

"Hehe... The teacher always wears an eye patch, not even when he's alone. Some people say he uses one eye as an alchemical material."

"All people in the world are protected by Cephalo, especially the golden descendants who are bathed in the blood of the gods."

"If this were true, it would undoubtedly be blasphemy against the gods."

Fortunately, due to a lack of evidence, the accusation ultimately came to nothing.

Feng Jin smiled and said:

"The teacher then engaged in a heated debate with the group of scholars, arguing with each of the challengers one by one."

"Finally, a scholar asked him: [Anaxagoras, are you ungodly?]"

He paused for a few seconds, then replied: "[I never deny that Titans should be great beings.]"

Dan Heng said calmly:

"There's clearly a hidden meaning in his words..."

"Perhaps his subtext is that Titans are not great."

“Yeah, that’s what I think too, haha.” Feng Jin continued:

"I don't know how the commotion was calmed down, but the teacher eventually stayed in the treehouse."

"Even though he was considered a heretic, he continued his research."

"Oh, right." Feng Jin patted the pile of complaint letters.

"These letters reminded me that there's another place in the tree garden where clues might exist that can't be found even in the stone tablets..."

“That place is called the Root Stone Chamber, which is Teacher Xia’s alchemy laboratory.”

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng was somewhat surprised.

"Given Shuting's book collecting style, how could such a shortcoming have been overlooked right under his nose?"

“It’s a secret, very few people know,” Feng Jin explained.

"Apart from the chief, who is a figurehead, the other seven sages each have a forbidden area where they can conduct their research undisturbed when they are lost in thought."

"Even the administrators of the Hall of Friendship cannot overstep the prohibition and accept the sages' topics."

"But now..."

Looking at the mess, Feng Jin gave a knowing look.

"Danbao, look at the state of the tree garden. It's alright to break the rules a little, right..."

"Although I feel a little sorry for Teacher Xia at that time."

As they searched, Danheng and Fengjin wandered through the tree hollows, encountering blocked or broken paths, forcing them to take detours.

It took about half an hour for the two of them to arrive at Na Ke Xia's secret laboratory.

"finally reached."

Feng Jin looked ahead, appearing somewhat surprised.

"Huh? There's nothing here at all?"

"The alchemical materials, the magic array diagrams, and even the seal of the prohibition are gone... Could they have all been destroyed by the Black Tide?"

"That's possible," Dan Heng analyzed, observing the layout of the place.

"There isn't even a proper defense here."

When the Black Tide struck, the scholars within the Tree Garden must have set up some mechanisms to resist the attack.

But there was nothing in this area.

"Have you been here before?" Dan Heng asked Feng Jin.

"No, hehe." Feng Jin smiled.

“We never even got close.”

"Alchemy is a high-risk activity, and at that moment, Teacher Xia was also fascinated by strange materials."

"The students often saw him go in perfectly fine, but come out covered in dust or even with his hair standing on end, so naturally they didn't dare to go near here."

"…Huh?"

Suddenly, Feng Jin's gaze was drawn to the collapsed bookshelf in the distance.

"That bookcase seems to be relatively well-preserved, it's just tilted over."

"Shall we go see if there are any clues there?"

"it is good."

The two walked up to the bookshelf, and Danheng lifted it up and straightened it.

Some documents fell to the ground.

Wind Violet picked them up and discovered that they were the very documents Anaxagoras had applied for.

Several sources from different fields were compiled into one place, including Titan creation, the universality of the soul, alchemy, etc.

Most of it still seems to fall within the research scope of the [Intelligent Race School], but a notebook titled [Background Investigation of the Golden Descendants] is mixed in.

"?"

"what is this?"

Upon seeing this journal, Feng Jin, a member of the Golden Clan, suddenly had a strange feeling.

When I opened it, it was indeed filled with information about acquaintances.

The notes clearly state:

[The descendants of the saints Tibo, Tian, ​​and Tinin of Januspolis... the saints of the Temple of the Three Fates...]

[The Golden-Wearing Agleya of Ohma City... the Meneta Priest Family...]

[The prince of Suspended Peak City…Wind Violet of Twilight Court…both have origins connected to the Titans or Titan powers to varying degrees.]

[......]

[Golden blood…is inherited from a priestly family…or a royal family…?]

[......]

[Anaxagoras, himself. No such connection has been found.]

[What exactly caused the golden blood of the Creator Cephalus... to form the Golden Descendants?]
