Chapter 1059

~6 min read 1,126 words

At this very moment, the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden on the other side.

Ti'an felt… it'll be fine! Everyone in the Tree Garden is very smart; they'll definitely be able to drive away the Heichi. Ti'an guessed.

Moreover, Aglaea said that Nachixia is still alive, so others should also have hope…" Mimi, speaking of Nachixia, also felt very confused: "... But who exactly is this person? I always feel everyone has an inexplicable trust in him."

How to put it…" Xiadie lowered her head, "Aglaea's attitude toward him is probably completely opposite. Nachixia, as a Golden Descendant, firmly believes that Titans and Divine Oracles are just a joke. In the regularly convened citizen assemblies, among the votes against the Fire Pursuit Journey, there is always one from his hand."

Mimi felt even stranger: "Huh? Such a person is still doing research here… Didn't you just say the Tree Garden is an academy built around the Titans?"

Ti'an immediately raised her hand, proudly snatching the conversation: "This, Ti'an knows! Everyone says the Titan symbolizing rationality is the most tolerant of new ideas—it's the same as KefaLe, the best Titan for us."

"Even this kind of 'new idea'… looks like the Titan symbolizing rationality is indeed tolerant."

Xiadie nodded: "Well, therefore we have reached an agreement with those Titans who are benevolent toward humanity: in the Fire Pursuit Journey, they will provide us support, and we will only return their fire seeds at the very end of the journey."

Ti'bao added: "Besides… Oluonisi. It only gave us its power reluctantly."

Spy playing house.

"Profane, profane the gods!"

Aniya was still seeing such a 'stimulating' teacher for the first time; in an instant, her eyes burst forth with brilliant light!

(So excited!)

"Do you think Titans and Divine Oracles are a joke? Even denying the Fire Pursuit Journey?" Lao aide put down his newspaper, his face clearly more curious, "I also doubt the authenticity of the Divine Oracle—even Aglaea and her ilk may not fully believe in it, but the question is, besides the Divine Oracle, what else is worth believing?"

If Nachixia considers the Fire Pursuit Journey mistaken, he ought to propose a more reliable plan to overturn the current situation in Wengfalusi.

Could it be that he has made an important breakthrough in his research on the Heichi?

"Could he be a scientist researching thermal weapons, hoping to use them to eradicate Heichi creations?" Yue'er saw Lao aide's serious expression and also offered his own view that he considered 'immature': "I recall that inside Wengfalusi, people seem to rely on cold weapons for combat; Titan divine power is usable only by a few. If we could large‑scale research firearms and other mechanical creations, the efficiency of killing monsters should greatly increase."

The key is… this is power inherently belonging to 'humans', unrelated to Titans or fire seeds; humanity needs no external aid to effectively repel the Heichi.

"Technology? That's indeed a direction, but researching technology and supporting the Fire Pursuit Journey itself shouldn't conflict, right?" Lao aide stroked his chin, "... Or perhaps Nachixia is just a natural rebel? Or maybe he has opinions about the Golden Descendants?"

Lao aide had indeed seen many people who opposed just for the sake of opposing; such people are the most headache‑inducing. If those nobles also opposed the Fire Pursuit Journey, it would be very possible to bribe Nachixia, using a Golden Descendant to oppose Golden Descendants, turning him into a spear aimed at Aglaea.

That's probably the scene Aglaea least wants to see……

——

Mimi: "Actually I feel Oluonisi isn't that reluctant. Otherwise it couldn't have accepted Star, let alone let her travel with everyone, right?"

Xiadie expressed agreement: "Indeed. Also thanks to this revered deity previously not being affected by the Heichi and descending into madness……"

Ti'an said, "The Titan symbolizing rationality won't have any trouble! After all, everyone says the folks in the Tree Garden are very smart." Ti'an volunteered, "So Little Grey, Little Butterfly, the task of finding Little Nachixia and everyone is yours—I'll handle it—Ti'an is great at finding people, she can even fly up to the sky!"

All right. Then Lady Ti'an should bring the guide line; the golden thread should be more effective at high altitude. Xiadie patiently urged, "But please promise us… protect yourself well."

Good! If Ti'an encounters danger, she will surely come to find everyone. Of course, if everyone encounters danger, they should also remember to call Ti'an—Ti'an will rush over to open the door for everyone!

Xiadie shook her head with a worried expression: "This is the second thing I wanted to say: unless absolutely necessary, never open the door. Your physical condition is not optimistic."

Ti'an still wore a full smile: "Mmm, *we* remember. Ti'an just wants to help everyone……"

Xiadie bent down, gently coaxing like an older sister: "We certainly know, after all Lady Ti'an is the most formidable demigod among us. Do you still remember the brave great hero in the story? They always keep their great power for last use, that way they can be absolutely sure, right?"

Little Butterfly, you're right! Then, brave Ti'an, go ahead and clear the path for everyone!

Silver Soul.

Hey hey, don't set a flag!!

Ti'an's guarantee not only failed to let Yin shi relax; on the contrary, it made him even more nervous.

What's the difference between making this guarantee and those people who keep saying things like "After this battle I'll go home and get married", "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up right away", and then die in battle?! The more I say it, the more panicked I feel……

Xin ba ji helplessly held his forehead: "Hey hey, you guy, don't take those manga plotlines you've seen and apply them to reality! Wengfalusi isn't some story written by a person, and there's no author behind it who only hands out knives and doesn't bury the bodies, so don't worry about that manga stuff."

Besides, the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden has already been swept over by the Heichi; you've seen the level of those creations yourself—they couldn't possibly threaten Star and Xiadie.

Yin shi's hand, wiping sweat, trembled slightly: "The more you say that, the more panicked I get—it feels like I've stumbled onto a horror‑movie set. I always feel there's a ghost lurking in the dark, ready to strike when I'm off guard…… even the most basic horror‑movie condition of "split up when danger strikes" is met—isn't this a chance to pick off the ghosts one by one?"

If they were Heichi creations, they probably wouldn't have that level of intelligence. Xin ba ji earnestly sized up the monster lying on the ground; suddenly, a horrible thought, like a slippery water snake, slipped into his mind.
