Translation: "What, what's happening…? Hold on..." Zhangzhu vigorously rubbed his eyes, straining to widen them, but no matter how many times he rubbed, the scene on the skyscreen of Xing turning into golden light and gradually disappearing remained unchanged.

As long as she does not partake in the causality of Onferos, there's still hope."

Translation: The sudden death scene of Xing also instantly dazed Tan Zhilang—just a second ago she had been chatting with Dan Heng, how could such a change happen so fast? Almost instinctively... Tan Zhilang thought that scene was not happening now.

"'Back then, even a spear that pierced Kokoroya's body couldn't kill Star, Phantasm couldn't take her life, the God's Day, meme virus... she had survived countless crises, she would never die in Onferos!'"

"Zenitsu, you didn't say you were most envious that Star could have physical contact with such a lovely girl as Xie Die? If you were the one lying on her lap, turning into golden light and fading away, it might just be you, you know?"

Translation: "Shanyi, you weren't the one who said you most envied Xing for being able to have physical contact with such a beautiful girl as Xiaodie? If it were you resting your head on her lap, turning into golden light and dissipating, it might just be you, you know?"

"Zenitsu, hearing this, also lowered his head embarrassedly, muttering softly: 'Well, that's because... I originally thought that as long as one isn't a native of Onferos, they could touch Xie Die...'"

Translation: Shanyi, hearing that, also lowered his head embarrassedly, muttering softly: "Well, that's because... I originally thought that as long as one wasn't a native of Opherus, they could touch Xiaodie..."

"Tanjiro spoke solemnly: 'But looking at it now, if this vision occurs in the future, it means Star cannot break Onferos's 'prophecy'; she will surely fall before the world is remade one day. It seems Tipple's prophecy applies not only to the Golden Descendants...'"

Translation: Tan Zhilang spoke solemnly: "But looking at it now, if this vision occurs in the future, it means Xing also cannot break Opherus's 'prophecy'; she will surely collapse before the Recreation of the World. It seems Tipao's prophecy targets not only the Golden Heirs..."
