Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

"This is the temple of the Titan of Time. I wonder if Xi Lian's studies are going well... We've rarely been in touch since we embarked on our journey..."

"I hope she's alright. Let's go, comrade. This is a rare opportunity to witness Langton's scales of justice."

Xing was puzzled.

what happened……

He just said that Xi Lian is studying here? How is that possible? Didn't she already...?

[Star: Xi Lian didn't die initially, so why did the Fire Thief kill her first in the subsequent reincarnations?]

[Yi Xuan: It seems this young girl is inextricably linked to reincarnation.]

[Tibao: Xiao Xilian is studying at the Hall of the Three Phases of Destiny.]

Xing looked around, but Lai Gushi had just disappeared when he needed an explanation the most.

"Never mind, let's catch up with Bai E first."

Xing then followed him to the magnificent scales. Everything here was not as dilapidated as it had been in the world when the pioneers existed; the mechanisms and murals had been cleaned up.

Wan Di's eyes gleamed with arrogance. "I hope you still remember your mission, recruit."

"You seem quite confident, Suspended Peak Man." Bai E showed no fear. "Why don't you reveal how you intend to interpret the word 'heavy'?"

[Star: I know: The word "heavy" doesn't exist in the dictionary of Suspended Edge City!]

[Wan Di: Cough cough, I never said that.]

[Bai E: Go study at Tree Court. Suspended Peak City needs a dictionary, a dictionary that fits the culture of conflict.]

Wan Di coldly said, "I'm afraid you don't know, so I'll say something: In Suspended Peak City, your thieving remarks are a desecration of gladiatorial combat and you deserve to be pierced."

"But this is a foreign land, and the guest should follow the host's wishes. It's okay for me to tell you—"

"The Xuanfeng Seal Ring, the most precious treasure of our clan. It is my choice."

"A ring?" Bai E asked curiously. "It's probably not an ordinary piece of jewelry. Tell me, what's the story behind this little thing?"

Wan Di turned his head away, "—You're really pushing your luck. Do you really think I'll keep talking to you?"

"All you need to know is that the glory that has lingered for a thousand years is enough to make a Titan fall for you and crush the soul of an insignificant nobody like you!"

[Wendy: Wan Di is too honest; now Bai Er knows.]

[Wan Di: Hmph, always trying to be clever with petty tricks.]

[Huo Huo: From Wan Di's perspective, Bai E is indeed quite outgoing; he can start chatting without batting an eye even though they've only just become opponents.]

[Bai Er: That's called being shrewd.]

[Wan Di: Cleverness.]

[Bai Er: Clever!]

Through Wan Di's answer, Bai E obtained important information: "It seems that in his heart, what is more important than the world is his people and honor..."

Xing nodded, "This is also the destiny that Wan Di will bear in the future..."

Bai'e is currently just a promising new recruit, while Wan Di is a prince from a warring kingdom; anyone can imagine the difference in their abilities.

He was somewhat at a loss. "This is really a dilemma. That ring must hold a lot of special meaning. What can we use to fight against it?"

"Comrade, I want to hear your intuition."

“The Savior card…” Star said.

Bai E smiled confidently and said, "As expected, that's what you think too."

"After much thought, it's the only thing I can rely on..."

"That day, a savior appeared in my life. Ironically, I still can't look directly at this card, let alone accept its guidance."

His face showed bitterness. "Just thinking about the scene of my hometown being swallowed by the Black Tide makes my hands tremble uncontrollably. I can't forget that fire, the cries of the people, how powerless I was, how I couldn't protect anything..."

"Reason tells me that this is far from enough. Arimitshe is just a small village. Compared to Onfaros, its disappearance is nothing more than an insignificant scar."

"But at this moment, the voice in my heart is telling me..."

"This card is all I have left, nothing could be heavier than it."

[Ambi: Bai Er... he only has the Savior card left.]

[Nicole: Yes, everything in the Eri's Secret Pavilion was swallowed up by the Black Tide—his family, friends, everything he saw… Bai Er seemed to have had his proof of existence erased.]

[Fu Xuan: This card represents your destiny.]

[Xia Die: It's hard to imagine that Lord Bai E, after enduring so many hardships, would ultimately choose to become the savior and bear the fate of Onphalus.]

[Star: How about putting me up there?]

[Dan Heng: ...]

[Sunday: So, if Miss March's camera hadn't been placed there, would Bai Er have chosen to play the savior card?]

[Bai Er: Uh…actually, I was planning to stand on it myself.]

“Maybe this is the correct answer.”

A clear and sweet voice rang out.

Tinning happily tugged at Bai'e's sleeve, "Ah, Bai'e..."

Xi Lian walked over with light steps, "Long time no see, Lady Tining, Bai E, and..."

Hi, it's so nice to see you here!

Xing felt a little dizzy. "Is this really the Onpharos I know?"

Xi Lian blinked. "Why do you look so incredulous? Could it be... you missed me?"

"Xi Lian?" Bai E's joy was evident in his words.

“This is really… I was just wondering if you were also in the temple. I didn’t expect our reunion to come so suddenly.”

"Heh, I was supposed to evacuate with the priest, but I heard that the Holy Maiden has a white-haired young man with her..."

"I guessed it was you, so I sneaked back when no one was paying attention."

Chapter 510 Something Heavier Than the World

Bai E was naturally very happy about Xi Lian's arrival.

"Heh...that's like you. Too bad now's not the time for reminiscing, those Suspended Peak people over there..."

Wan Di's booming voice came from the other side of the scales, "Are you still playing house?"

Bai E sighed helplessly, "...as you can see."

Xi Lian smiled and said, "He's an impatient young man. You two might get along very well."

[Ling: Why hasn't Xi Lian grown up all these years?]

[Mimi: Because she'll always be a beautiful young woman, forever in a single moment.]

[Xingqiu: Hahaha, doesn't anyone care about Lord Wan Di on the other side? We seem to have a lot of people on our side.]

[Ying: A sunny and cheerful young man~ Xi Lian has a good eye for people.]

“Don’t be afraid, you already have the answer, don’t you?” As she spoke, her gaze also fell on the Savior card.

"If this card is your choice, I support you."

"Because I can't forget the fields and red leaves of the Secret Pavilion, the little swing under the tree where I would have sweet dreams, and the little fairies who got lost in the maze. The thought of never seeing them again makes my heart ache so much..."

"This sadness doesn't lie. Our hometown is just a small village, but to you and me, it's the whole world."

"But, Bai'e, this alone is not enough."

"Hatred is what makes a man grow up and turns a boy into an indestructible warrior."

She looked at the man with sincere eyes.

"But what you need now is a victory. So you can't just use the heavy past as a weight... you have to put the weight of the future on the scales as well."

Bai E asked in confusion, "What does 'future' mean?"

"It sounds like I've said something difficult to understand, but it's actually very simple." Xi Lian gestured to Xing beside her, "Let our common partner, along with the savior, step onto the scales of justice?"

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

Stars are fine, but...

“Isn’t that cheating?”

She and Bai Eke are two people, while Wan Di is only one.

"Hehe, don't worry. I bet the crown prince won't find out!"

Bai Er nodded. "Let's give it a try, no matter what."

"This fight concerns the future of the Holy City. Now that I am standing here, I will win for it."

"I will risk everything. Comrade, let's become heroes together."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Xing responded, "Remember the past and become a hero tomorrow."

Bai E looked at the scales, “That’s right, we will do our best to interpret it: something heavier than the fate of the world... is the determination to carry the unchangeable past and move towards the future.”

[Danheng: The Savior card represents the fate of the White Calamity, and bearing the fate of the world seems to carry a heavier weight than the fate of the Hanging Edge.]

[Star: Why do I feel like I'm a fantasy friend you two share? And... can I represent the future of Onpharos?]

[Bai'er: Partner, it was you who broke the cycle of Onpharos. Otherwise, whether it's rebirth or reincarnation, we would hardly see any hope of victory.]

[Robin: I remember Xing stood on it last time too, didn't he?]

[Xing: Oh right, and it didn't do anything at all. Danheng even told me to gain weight.]

[Danheng: Cough... I was just worried about you.]

[Wan Di: So the other side of the scale was actually two things...]

[Bai Er: My partner is nothing, she's my hero.]

[Star: I...am not a thing?]

[Bai E: Huh? Damn it, it's all your fault, Brother Bi Tong, that made me say the wrong thing.]

[Walter: It must be that the star witnessed Onpharos's future, and therefore was able to serve as its representative.]

[Kaze Sumire: It's a pity we can't put Shippo's camera here; even Oronis acknowledges it's a 'heavy object'.]

Holding the Savior card, Xing stepped onto the scales in front of the two witnesses. With her hands on her hips, she looked fiercely at the other side.

Tinning stood in the center of the scales.

"In the name of the Three-Phase Saint: Now, I ask you to lower the scales, weigh fate, and reveal your verdict to us!"

Wan Di's gazes converged. "The token you used to weigh yourself... a playing card?"

“Yes, a thin card, that’s my choice—all you need to know is that its name is Savior,” Bai Er replied confidently.

"interesting."

Wan Die refused to believe that the fate of a single card could outweigh the signet ring that represented the entire Suspended Edge.

"Alright—if you can beat me with this card, from now on, I'll call you by these three words!"

“It’s a deal,” Bai E affirmed.

[Fireworks: Hahaha, Little Gray, you're going to kill me with laughter! Imagine a little raccoon standing on a scale.]

[Star: Hmph, as expected of me.]

[Paimon: So that's why Wan Die calls Bai Er the Savior.]

[Tibo: Little Enemy keeps his promise. Since then, he's basically been calling Little White the Savior.]

[Bai E: Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I can't get him to change; it's become a habit. The word "savior" is definitely in the dictionary of those who wield the Suspended Peak.]

【All-powerful: HKS!】

[Xia Die: Lord Bai E is as eloquent as ever, haha.]

Xi Lian looked at the slightly swaying scales, "The scales are hesitating..."
