Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

People gradually quieted down, waiting silently for Bai Er to speak.

Bai E looked at them and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you all for attending!"

"Not long ago, I gave a speech at the citizens' assembly at Dawn Cloud Cliff."

"At that time, in order to continue the hope of the Golden Descendants chasing the fire, I racked my brains to think of what kind of rhetoric I could use to win people's support."

Finally, I remembered a teacher's teaching.

"In situations where words are used as weapons, indignation and blind rage are far more powerful weapons than reason."

"So I adopted his strategy."

He frowned.

“I will denigrate my opponents as insects, attack their character, and list their crimes.”

"I never imagined they were far more sinister than I had imagined...!"

"In broad daylight, they dared to use the safety of the people to coerce Lady [Kaneori], forcing her to perish in the sanctuary that had been guarded for a thousand years!"

Chapter 1444 You Guard the House

“In the past, it was golden threads that mended our cracks.”

“Some might compare it to a spy, a tool of control, but no one can deny that… it was Aglaia who stitched this city, and even this fragmented world, back together!”

Bai E's eyes were filled with sorrow.

"But she's gone now—yes, just as you've heard—"

"The demigod Aglaia, who has protected the holy city for a thousand years, has fallen!"

Everyone present was filled with anger.

"They must be severely punished."

“To dare to commit violence against Ms. [Kaneori] in broad daylight is an unforgivable crime.”

"Fuck their mothers!!"

"Uncensored stuff, hehe~ Aaaaaaah!!"

Bai E looked at the angry crowd and said in a deep voice:

"At first, I felt the same way as you did."

"I also want to join you here to condemn the evil of sinners and discuss how to bring them to justice..."

"But now, my thinking has changed."

"At this moment, the golden threads in the city have dissipated, but I do not see anyone cheering for the escape from control."

"In the empty market and bathhouse, I only took in one emotion—unease."

"Because everyone present knew that the last safeguard against being hurt by the darkness in each other's hearts had disappeared."

"From then on, apart from the moral imperatives we have created for ourselves, no divine power can protect us from malice."

Bai E's expression was serious.

"The journey to the fire is nearing its end, and the only Titan the Golden Blood need to conquer is Aegler."

"But before I ascend to the sky, I will first issue a challenge to you—"

"I challenge the shadows and malice that may lurk in your hearts, so that the mind of your spear may clear before the sky does!"

"Please allow me to bear witness!"

Even without the divine authority of [romance], Ohma will still be an ideal place in the end times.

"Here live the better people that Aglaia longed for, the better people that the new world in the oracle longed for!"

Upon hearing this, the citizens looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.

"He was so awkward talking..."

"How can it be so childish?"

"Can they really fulfill their responsibilities as members of the Golden Family?"

"I'm really convinced..."

"Alright, I'll play the straight man."

Bai E: “…”

"Well, it seems I'm not really suited to say these things."

He sighed helplessly.

"There is still a long way to go before Onphalus is reborn, but we will not forget the past as we move forward."

"Because Onphalus's memory always benefits future generations."

Bai E looked up at the densely packed crowd before him and said sincerely:

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything more strange."

"At least, please lend me this moment."

"I would like to ask for a few minutes of your time to remember a demigod who has protected the holy city for a thousand years..."

"She is the alteration master of Ohm, the leader of the Golden Clan, [Golden Weave] Aglaia."

"And her greatest achievement in life was her selflessness."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Huan took Aglaia's black and white photo album, slowly stepped forward, and placed it on the high platform.

As everyone gazed at Aglaia's black and white smiling face, they felt a deep sense of sorrow and unconsciously clasped their hands to their chests in remembrance.

Seeing everyone crying so sadly, Yan Huan scratched her head and couldn't help but also wail before Aglaia's portrait:

"Laoya ah~~!"

Yan Huan lay face down on the table, heartbroken.

"You died a terrible death—!!"

The citizens below: "..."

"Brother Yan Huan, stop howling." Bai E quickly interrupted:

"It's too fake. It'll be all over when it's exposed."

"Huh?" Yan Huan looked up. "Is my acting really that bad?"

"I do not believe!"

"Waaaaaahh ...

Bai E: “…”

After a day of mourning throughout the city, the holy city began its commendation ceremony.

It's hard to imagine that a giant earth beast could actually protect the emperor and defeat most of the assassins.

"Gou Shun, well done!"

Kratrus carried a wooden ladder, placed it on the Earth Beast's chest, and slowly began to climb upwards.

Once he reached the bridge of the earth beast's nose, he ordered someone to use a long fork to lift the huge gold necklace up, which he then caught in his hands.

"I didn't expect you to have such formidable strength, even though you're not a Holy City Guardian."

"You deserve it, big guy."

After struggling to put the large gold necklace on Gou Shun, Clatrus was panting heavily.

"Sigh...why don't you just crawl?"

After this battle, Gou Shun obtained a high-ranking military rank and was able to command the ordinary guards of the Holy City.

……

the other side.

At dawn on the cliff.

"Is the seamstress really gone?" Sai Fei'er asked Bai Er.

"No way... I could take on a whole group of those assassins by myself."

"Miss Saifeier, please don't ask anymore," Bai'er sighed.

"I hope we can get straight to the point."

"As you can see, Aglaia has won the support of the entire city for the Golden Clan."

"People unanimously believed that she was murdered by the anti-fire faction in the Senate, and the citizens' outrage left the lurking evil nowhere to hide."

"Even so, the alarm has not been completely lifted."

"The leader of the Cleansers, Elder Katniss, has secretly escaped while the medical staff weren't looking."

"Huh?" Sai Fei'er found it hard to understand.

"How come you can't even keep an eye on an old woman?"

"If you already knew she was an enemy, why did you save her in the first place?"

"Now look what's happened. Once she gets back to that assassin's den, she'll start plotting something again."

"When you're cornered, you'll do whatever you want."

"Sigh, now is not the time to shift the blame," Bai E said helplessly.

“Miss Seifer, I would like to ask you to help protect the flame of Cephalos.”

"Yan Huan, Dan Heng, and I will be heading to the sky. At that time, the Holy City will be poorly defended, and you will be the only demigod left with combat power."

After Agrea left, Ohma was no longer under the surveillance of the gold thread, which greatly weakened the city's defenses.
