Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

When the appointed time arrived, Lin Yuan arrived at the meeting point ahead of time, only to find that someone had arrived earlier than him.

"Your Excellency, did you rest well?"

When Xia Die saw him arrive, she quickly greeted him. She was still holding the notebook that Lin Yuan had given her.

Beside her stood a petite red-haired girl.

Hello! Friends who have come from afar!

As Lin Yuan approached, the little girl turned around, her small wings fluttering slightly, and called out enthusiastically.

"Hey, whose child is this?" Lin Yuan asked casually.

"Ahem..." Xia Die quickly coughed lightly and whispered a reminder:

"Lord Lin Yuan, this is Teacher Tian, ​​a demigod of Ohma who is in charge of the gatekeepers. She will be accompanying us as an envoy on this mission to Tree Court."

"Little Yuan, I know you. You're really amazing!"

Tian looked up at Lin Yuan, nodded with an air of maturity, and then revealed a mischievous smile:

"Now that everyone's here, Little Butterfly, Little Far, let's set off! Let's follow this road, ride the west wind, and fly high!"

Lin Yuan: "...You should be called Ti Ying."

..........

With the help of the Gate Titan, the three rode the wind and made their way swiftly toward the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.

Half a day later, the colossal tree reaching to the sky and the city built upon the divine tree came into view.

From a distance, the gnarled and twisted shape of the sacred tree resembles a scholar deep in thought.

Unlike Ohma, this place is far from Kefal, and the daylight is noticeably dimmer.

But as dusk fell, the sacred tree was adorned with various fluorescent plants, like sparks of reason and thought dancing in the night, creating a unique charm.

"This is the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden, Your Excellency. Like Ohma, several Golden Descendants are also stationed here."

After landing, the guide, Xia Die, introduced the situation to Lin Yuan.

“That’s right,” Tian replied, explaining the purpose of their trip.

“We have already obtained the Nicardi Fire. We are here mainly to help Aya negotiate with them regarding the ownership of the Serhith Fire.”

In fact, she had another hidden mission: to observe Lin Yuan's every move and try to prevent him from clashing with the sages of Shuting.

After landing, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and frowned: "Did you sense anything?"

"Uh... feel what? I don't feel anything." Tian scratched his head.

"Your Excellency, could it be that you sensed the aura of wisdom?" Xia Die couldn't help but guess.

"Your literary skills are quite high."

Lin Yuan glanced at her speechlessly, then said seriously, "I sensed the aura of the Black Tide."

As soon as the words were spoken, Tian and Xia Die's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Has the Tree Garden been invaded by the Black Tide? Oh no, we have to go check it out!"

Without doubting what he said, Tian took the lead along the mountain path, with the others following closely behind.

As expected, they didn't see a soul along the way, and the atmosphere was extremely eerie. Tian and Xia Die exchanged a glance, both seeing deep worry in each other's eyes.

"Head towards the big tree," Lin Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Relax, we need to be faster."

A light shone, and the three of them were swept away by Lin Yuan's power, rushing towards the divine tree.

..........

A despicable outsider from Dandong has plotted to infiltrate Ohmma.

Such rumors began circulating in the streets and alleys of Ohmma early in the morning.

From the Golden Clan's campaign against Nicardoli but bringing back a strange young man, to the conspiracy that a schemer was secretly trying to overthrow Ohma, countless versions of the rumors quickly emerged.

Aglaia, who had shrouded the entire Ohmah in gold threads, naturally noticed it immediately.

She knew this wasn't directed at the outsider, but at her.

She also knew that this was the work of the opposition in the Senate.

In the vote that decided to have the Golden Clan temporarily take over the political situation in Ohma, nearly half of the elders voted against it, and Katniss was just one of them.

Many elders have long hoped to regain their power and status by weakening the prestige of the Golden Clan, so they will never let any opportunity slip by.

Aglaia utterly despised such despicable tactics. The end was near, yet some were still vying for power and profit, disregarding the survival of all citizens.

Beset by internal and external troubles, she wanted to use gold thread to cut off their limbs and strangle their throats, so that they would be unable to make a sound.

But the legal basis for the Fire Chase rests on the Council of Elders, and the political situation in Ohma still needs to be stabilized... She still needs to be patient.

Until the overall situation of returning the fire was settled, all the variables were woven into her destiny.

"My teacher, Xia Die, and... you, may you all achieve your wishes," she murmured.

"May Onphalus... obtain true hope."

........

The remains of the Black Tide monster were scattered all over the ground, with collapsed buildings and ruins everywhere.

The black and reddish-brown heterogeneous substance flooded many areas, emitting a repulsive odor.

“It truly is a creation of the Black Tide…” Xia Die’s voice was grave. “Something must have happened in the Tree Garden.”

"Should we... contact Aya?" Tian hesitated. The faint roars of monsters echoed from the dark depths ahead, sending a chill down their spines.

Suddenly, a piercing noise rang out from the side. Looking in the direction of the sound, many Kuroshio creatures were emerging from the corner.

"careful!"

Xia Die was preparing to advance and fight, but Lin Yuan moved even faster.

He raised his hand and grabbed at the direction from which the black tide creation was attacking. In an instant, everything in front of him was restrained and disintegrated into black fragments as he clenched his fist.

"No need to contact me. Just stick close to me, I can handle it," Lin Yuan said calmly.

Looking into his calm gaze, the two Golden Descendants felt an inexplicable trust welling up within them. This feeling didn't come from words, but rather from the other person himself seemingly representing... protection.

"it is good."

The light advanced along the road, turning everything, from the black tide monsters to the mutated areas, into dust under its surging power.

A moment later, they finally heard the sounds of battle emanating from this once-silent city-state. They paused, and Lin Yuan and his companions revealed themselves.

Not far away, even under the shroud of twilight and the dark tide, a brilliant rainbow still appeared ahead.

...........

Chapter 453 Sneak Attack

A rainbow hangs in the dim sky.

Beneath the rainbow light, a series of booming sounds could be heard.

Amidst the monsters' roars and howls, a phantom, trailing a colorful tail of flame, rampaged across the battlefield.

Even though the Black Tide Monster's twisted body was as solid as a rock, it was still smashed into pieces like a bowling ball by that image, with its limbs flying everywhere.

As soon as Lin Yuan and his two companions approached, they felt a hurricane carrying moisture blow towards them.

The next second, several Black Tide monsters howled and fell to the ground. Then, a phantom rushed towards Lin Yuan and the others.

"Beep beep beep beep—"

An overwhelming aura swept over him, and Lin Yuan felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He extended his right hand, fingers spread, and instantly channeled the power of the attack into his palm, firmly suppressing the charging black shadow.

Looking down and taking a closer look, Lin Yuan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

Whose gas cylinder is this?

In his arms was a plump, sunny, rainbow-colored little white horse, its round black eyes glaring at him as it neighed.

Sunshine, Rainbow, Big Ivan

"It's Feng Jin's little Ika!" Xia Die's face showed surprise.

Before he could finish speaking, a series of crackling explosions came from the direction of the monster.

Before long, a girl with pink pigtails and white stockings with blue highlights ran out, waving a staff and covering her head with a small hat.

"Little Ika, are you alright?!"

Pink-haired girl looked over with concern, but her eyes lit up when she saw the group of people.

Just as she was about to wave excitedly, Tian's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"careful!"

Behind Feng Jin, a gigantic black tide creature raised its twisted blade high, about to slash down fiercely at the girl!

Lin Yuan's eyes darkened as they fell on Little Ika in his hand... no, Big Ivan.

Little Ika: ?

In an instant, he raised his arm high, swung it around, and hurled the little fat horse out like a shot put.

With scattered tears, Little Ika tore through the sky at an unimaginable speed, crashing into the black tide creation with a thunderous roar.

"boom!"

After a deafening crash, just as Aglaia felt upon seeing the yellow and purple fish of the White Calamity, the monster's twisted body exploded, smashed into pieces, and its remains scattered all over the ground.

As the hurricane swept by, Feng Jin was so frightened that she covered her head, letting the wind whip her hair and skirt around.

When she turned around, all that remained was little Ika, who was seeing stars, and a pile of broken pieces.

.......

Moments later, with the combined efforts of several Golden Descendants, the surrounding Black Tide monsters were wiped out.
