He paused, then said with utmost sincerity:
"Work with me, and we can change everything, not just ordinary people, but also the Golden Generation, and even the future of this world."
“Lord Kelin Yuan,” Aglaia looked up and stared directly at him:
"How can you convince us that you can lead us to a better ending?"
"I think you'll see it for yourselves during the collaboration," Lin Yuan said without urging.
"But whether or not to cooperate ultimately depends on you."
silence.
Aglaia's expression was unreadable, like a tangled mess of fabric.
Lin Yuan leaned back, giving the other party some time. After all, this was a major event that could affect everyone, and no amount of caution was too much.
Unexpectedly, Aglaia's answer was more decisive than he had imagined.
"I agreed."
The voice was soft, but the fate was heavy.
"Okay!" Lin Yuan's voice fell heavily.
"I have never appeared in the oracle, precisely because those who appear in the oracle are all destined heroes."
Heroes guide people through calamities, but who helps the heroes change their fate?
He reached out his hand, a slight smile on his face:
"I am not a hero, I am not guided by fate, nor am I bound by fate."
What you can do, I can do too; what you can't do, I can also help you achieve. So, I wish us... a pleasant collaboration?
Aglaia raised her hand and gently shook his: "It's been a pleasure working with you."
"Then we can be considered allies now." Lin Yuan withdrew his hand, his tone becoming lighter.
“Ms. Aglaia, I heard that you have enemies in Ohma.”
"How about you give me a list, and I'll make them all disappear physically for you?"
"........."
Aglaia: Aren't you going a bit too far?
..........
Chapter 450 True Art
Aglaia was slightly taken aback upon hearing Lin Yuan's suggestion.
She admitted that for a moment she was indeed tempted. How could she possibly succeed on the journey to the fire while surrounded by those insects in the Senate? Perhaps...
"never mind."
Aglaia pondered for a long time, but finally shook her head.
The Senate is, after all, the legitimate organization representing the citizens of Ohma. Even with differing opinions and intense infighting, Ohma still needs their existence to stabilize public sentiment and the political situation... unless they truly cross that line.
Lin Yuan looked at the other party's hesitant expression and a strange look appeared on his face.
Who said Aya is cold-blooded? Aya is incredibly kind.
If it were Lin Yuan in that position, he would have labeled those elders as Black Tide lackeys, anti-fire-chasing journey elements, stubborn old-fashioned interest groups, and Lai Gushi faction members, and dragged them to Dawn Cloud Cliff to be lined up and shot.
"Since that's the case, let them go for now. Let's just hope they don't walk right into our trap, otherwise..."
He didn't finish his sentence, only a cold smile remained on his face.
"So, Ms. Aglaia, now that the cooperation has been reached, where is the fire I requested?"
Aglaia raised her head and looked at him seriously:
"Lord Lin Yuan, now that the Titans of conflict have been defeated, and the old gods have fallen, someone is needed to temporarily shoulder the broken pillars and fill the vacancies in the divine office until the miracle of creation arrives."
Now that you have defeated the Titans, are you willing to assume the divine office amidst the chaos?
“No, I refuse.” Lin Yuan shook his head decisively. “I don’t want to become an old god of this world.”
Seeing his disdainful look, Aglaia remained expressionless, but Lin Yuan could see the subtle scrutiny in her eyes.
He smiled and added, "I come from beyond the heavens. There are beings in the universe far more powerful than Titans. Only from beyond this world can one obtain the power to change everything."
"Once the matter with Onpharos is resolved, I can personally show you all the vast universe."
"The universe? That's something to look forward to."
Aglaia's voice was soft, and it was impossible to tell how much she believed it.
"The whereabouts of the Hand of Darkness are currently unknown, the Eye of Dawn and Dusk still covets the land, and the attitudes of Ceres and Oronis are unclear, but they should not be underestimated."
"So, you want me to do the work right away and help you seize the fire seed?" Lin Yuan glanced at him.
"Do not."
Aglaia slowly stood up, water droplets sliding down her body without wetting her clothes.
"Sir, the spark of fire you wish to witness... isn't it right before your eyes?"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of flowing water.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
In his perception, the bathhouse on the first floor was now empty, and he could only sense the presence of other Golden Descendants.
The blessing power of the Ocean Titans has created a water curtain that separates the inside from the outside.
"Interesting." He looked intrigued.
"I have buried Meneta with my own hands, and the flame of romance has been returned."
But I have taken over the priesthood of romance... so Your Excellency, let me let you... feel His power.”
As Aglaia spoke, she raised her fair and slender arm.
As outside light shone into the bath, the dappled light refracted into countless golden threads that enveloped everything.
In an instant, Lin Yuan's limbs, torso, and even his robes were intertwined with golden threads, and delicate pink petals drifted down between the threads, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
In addition, following the silk threads, a sense of restraint arises spontaneously; this is the power of romance, or perhaps the power of restraint.
"Lord Lin Yuan, this is the divine power of romance. How does it feel?"
Aglaia's voice was exceptionally gentle.
But just like gold thread, soft things can also reveal unexpected dangers when stretched taut.
However, Lin Yuan was enjoying it. Even though the restraining force was cutting into his body along the silk threads, he still had a smile on his face:
"I feel good."
A white light instantly shone from him, spreading along the golden lines, causing all the threads to lose their color wherever it passed.
Aglaia's expression changed slightly. Everything around her was out of control. Before the power could reach her, she decisively cut all the threads.
The broken gold thread disintegrated in mid-air, turning into countless golden fragments that fell like rain.
"So beautiful."
Lin Yuan raised his hand, and the debris gathered in his palm before disappearing.
In the heavens beyond the heavens, he murmured to himself:
"The second type of Titan's power, romance, represents pure beauty, its driving force is restraint, and... a reflection of beauty? Unfortunately, it's too weak..."
Inside the bath, as the light in the arena faded away, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said to Aglaia:
"Romance is the reflection of the pure goodness of the material world in the hearts of intelligent beings, which gives rise to meaning, and is what we call the existence of beauty."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
A beautiful light enveloped the entire bath for a moment, then disappeared.
"What have you done?"
Aglaia frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping over her.
“An experiment.” Lin Yuan’s expression was somewhat strange.
"Ms. Aglaia! Mr. Lin Yuan! Please go easy on me."
Bai E's voice suddenly came from the direction of the platform.
He, Wan Di, and Xia Die arrived anxiously one after another, but were stunned the moment they saw the scene.
The tension on Bai E's face vanished instantly, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Ms. Aglaia, is this your latest design? It's so beautiful!"
A look of confusion appeared on Aglaia's face. Following the strange gazes of the crowd, she slowly lowered her head.
The form-fitting gown she was wearing had somehow changed to a yellow and purple color scheme.
"........"
She chose to close her eyes and then open them again, hoping it was just her imagination.
Unfortunately, when she opened her eyes, she only saw Bai E holding the little fish, excitedly saying:
"Could it be that you drew inspiration from this adorable little life?"
Aglaia was silent for two seconds, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
"You are Aglaia of the Golden Clan, the leader of the Golden Clan... You must not be angry, you must not be upset! You must not be rude!!"
She repeated it to herself, using the power of romance to forcefully suppress the throbbing veins on her forehead. She calmly spoke:
"That's enough for now, Bai'e, Wan Di, you two go prepare for the trials of conflict. Xia Die, you help Lord Lin Yuan settle in..."
She couldn't help but glare at Lin Yuan without leaving a trace.
Lin Yuan shrugged, looking somewhat innocent.
Idris's followers believe that beauty should not be defined, and that beauty in any form should be praised. I'm leading you onto the right path, young comrade.
