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

Katniss sneered inwardly, thinking, "Is this all the outsider is capable of?"

Aglaia, oh Aglaia, you are truly foolish and lacking in wisdom.

Why send such an ignorant person to the meeting? The Citizens' Assembly is not about who has the loudest voice, but who can persuade more members of parliament.

This guy thinks he can get the elders to support the Fire Chasing Journey? What a low tactic! I really overestimated him.

On the field, Lin Yuan continued leisurely:

"But then again, the so-called journey to seek fire will only lead to the world repeating the same mistakes and tragedies being played out again and again. No one can guarantee that the re-creation will be successful."

"?"

Everyone was taken aback by these words. "Are you here to cause trouble?!" Even Lai Gushi cast a deep gaze upon him.

"so."

Lin Yuan changed the subject, his voice growing louder:

"Since neither of the two options can guarantee a bright future, I propose a third option here."

"Under the threat of the Black Tide, the future of Onfaros is uncertain, and the future of Ohma is unknown, but what all citizens need most right now is a commitment to security!"

And here you guys are, wasting your precious time on endless bickering.

Therefore, the biggest obstacle affecting Ohm's future is not outside the city, but rather the people on Dawn Cloud Cliff!

Now, only one path remains for Ohmar: dissolve the Senate and let a single, powerful voice unite everything, providing a guarantee of survival for all and leading Ohmar to a better future!

Lin Yuan's eyes gleamed as he surveyed the stunned and shocked members of parliament.

He spread his hands, his voice clear and bright:

"Now that I've finished speaking, who supports me and who opposes me?"

Chapter 464 Extinguishing the Dawn

"You're insane! You're absolutely insane!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's statement, Katniss was initially furious, but then her emotions turned to ecstasy.

A madman who dares to attempt to become a tyrant—not only the elder councilors present, but even Lord Rigos himself would not stand idly by.

She won! The Senate undoubtedly won this debate, and Katniss undoubtedly won!

Looking at Lin Yuan's calm expression, a mocking smile slowly crept onto her lips.

She raised her arm high and shouted with unprecedented volume and pride:

"I object!"

"Snapped!"

"what--"

Before anyone could react, Katniss was suddenly struck as if by a heavy blow, flying through the air before crashing heavily to the ground. She lay motionless for a moment.

Dead silence. The entire hall fell silent.

Everyone stared at Lin Yuan in shock. He dared to beat up an elder!

At this moment, the man considered the culprit by everyone looked at his own palm with some emotion:

"Kines, as the weakest person I've ever targeted, you should be proud that I managed to control my strength and not shatter you."

Finally, after a moment, Katniss caught her breath and struggled to prop herself up on one side, uttering indistinct syllables.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that her face was swollen and her eyes were almost overflowing with malice. She was no longer the dignified elder she had been before.

"Tsk, it's so ugly it makes me cringe." Lin Yuan curled his lip, somewhat disgusted.

"I asked you who objected, and I didn't expect there would actually be objections?"

He glanced at Katniss's hateful gaze, shook his head helplessly, then surveyed the entire hall and said, word by word:

"So, are there any other dissenting members of parliament? Feel free to speak up; I love freedom of speech."

His sharp gaze swept over them. The crowd, who had been shouting moments before, fell silent instantly. Some even couldn't withstand the pressure and lowered their heads.

"Ah, they fear power but do not cherish virtue."

Lin Yuan scoffed, "Gentlemen, I want to emphasize one point: I'm not targeting this Elder Katniss. What I want to say is that everyone here is trash."

Upon hearing this, some of the more principled elders finally stood up. But perhaps it was also because Katniss's faction had lost face and they had no choice but to step forward.

"Despicable outsider!" The old-looking elder rebuked him condescendingly, clearly a veteran.

"You think you can take on the entire Senate by yourself?!"

The Senate has stood firm in Ohmar for millennia, unshaken even by the Golden War! The fate of those traitors is your fate today!

"Hurry up and surrender! Beg for forgiveness before all the elders for your disrespectful act of insubordination!"

"Hahaha—" Lin Yuan revealed the old-fashioned smile typical of company employees.

"Standing for thousands of years? You don't really think it's all thanks to the elders, do you?"

"How many years has the Black Tide been around? You're stuck here on Dawn Cloud Cliff, isolated from the outside world by the Kefal's Fire and Fagina's Water Curtain. Do you even know what danger is? Have you ever seen the creatures created by the Black Tide?"

His smile vanished, and his gaze turned cold: "You cowards who are only interested in life and death, and who are content with pleasure, dare to point fingers at those who are actually providing protection? You're really giving yourself a hard time!"

"Outsider, you—you—!"

The old elder clutched his chest, on the verge of fainting from the shock.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Let me tell you, there are all of you too." Young Lin Yuan was full of vigor.

"Stop talking about usurpation. Today, I'm taking the position of consul, and... I want you to vote on me as the legitimate and orthodox first consul of Ohm!"

"Daydreaming!"

"Pah! Don't even think about it!"

"Even if I starve to death, or jump off Dawn Cloud Cliff, I will never vote for you, you madman!"

The audience erupted in excitement, the elder councilors were in a frenzy. They were all elders, the most distinguished people in Onfaros.

Being attacked head-on right now is unacceptable; we have to take it down!

Even Nashi Xia, who was known as a madman and a blasphemer, couldn't help but widen one eye and admit defeat.

"The moral order has collapsed, the moral order has collapsed... Reason, we must be rational." The remaining will of Serhis kept repeating in his heart.

"Shut up, Titan! This is what you call subversion! This is what you call breaking through perceptions! Hahahaha!"

Amidst a sky full of angry gazes, Xia's maniacal laughter was particularly jarring.

A strange light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes: "Alright, everyone, don't speak too definitively. If you want to back out later, I might not give you a way out."

He looked around and shook his head.

"As the highest decision-making body for governing the country, you people are too far removed from ordinary people. You don't know the threats they face, nor do you know the terror of the Black Tide."

How can we make good decisions like this? So…”

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

"Let me show you the truth. The protection you rely on from Cephall is nothing but a facade that the Golden Blood have desperately maintained."

Did you know that this is a lie, a trick that the Titan of Deception and the Demigod of Deception would rather stay away from the world than let others discover it?

"Witness, my friends, that your belief that Cephalon will forever protect you is a lie. Cephalon's glory should have been extinguished long ago!"

As soon as the words were spoken, fear gripped everyone's hearts, and a terrifying sense of unease arose spontaneously.

"Nonsense, that's impossible..."

The elders looked up and saw that above the Cefalé, the light of the Dawn Machine still shone brightly, as always.

As if they had survived a catastrophe, they shouted with ecstasy, as if they wanted to release all the fear they had just felt.

Katniss's voice became even more manic as she screamed:

"Lies, lies, he's lying!"

Ladies and gentlemen, the Golden Blood has completely lost its checks and balances! But thankfully, we were prepared. Cleaners, it's time to act, time to overthrow the tyranny of these hypocrites!

However, just as this collective fervor reached its peak, the dawn was extinguished without warning.

The sky suddenly darkened. The clamor in the circular hall abruptly ceased, replaced by a deathly silence.

On the streets of Ohm, the increasingly heavy rain washed away the enemy blood flowing from the bodies of the Suspended Ones. The streets were deserted.

Faced with the escalating torrential rain and the fighting, ordinary people could only keep their doors tightly shut and hide in their homes.

The Cleaners' crackdown is proceeding as planned, with the Golden Descendants stationed in various locations to suppress any unrest.

Suddenly, everything went dark.

In the hidden alley, Sai Feier suddenly rushed out of the alley and looked up at the sky in horror.

"Big...Big Sister, what happened?"

"Our prophecy... has been seen through." Saifeier said in disbelief, a hint of despair on her face.

Despair descended upon the hearts of everyone in Ohma.

In the darkness, the surging black tide in the distance seemed almost right in front of us.

........

The circular meeting room was silent.

"Well, everyone, have you felt the terror of facing a direct threat like an ordinary person, and the terror of the Black Tide?"

Lin Yuan even had a smile on his face.

In the deathly silence, a shrill voice finally rang out:

"Outsider, you madman! What... what have you done? Without Kefal's protection, how are we supposed to resist the Black Tide? We're all going to die!"

"It's very simple," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Why don't I just become the sun?!"
