Chapter 1180: with translation of chapter title

"Using 'resurrection' to summarize it is actually not accurate; for Xiadie, her state seems closer to 'reincarnation'…… letting Xiadie be born in the new world in the form of an infant." Aidehua said, "But I'm also curious what price Bolvqieya originally paid. These people, when using Alchemy to resurrect a person, do they not need to open the Gate of Truth? That's too much of a cheat……"

"Brother, the only people closest to the truth are Sexisi and Nakexia, right? Even if we open the door, what we can see beyond it is probably just those two."

"A'erfengsi fell silent for a moment, 'Now that Alchemist wants to revive Bolukesi, he needs a "girl who coexists with death"—the meaning goes without saying… Xiadie is the most crucial link in reviving the evil dragon. In the worst case, we might have to sacrifice Xiadie to complete the ritual.'"

"But if Xiadie is sacrificed, who would take over the divine post of the Death Titan?" Aidehua frowned tightly, shaking his head violently, "... I can't accept Xiadie becoming a sacrifice; there must be some other way……"

——

"Is… this my name……?"

"Suddenly, a huge roar came from afar."

"Mimi hurriedly hid behind Xing: 'Again and again… what on earth is this commotion?'"

"A black tide of Heichi monsters surged in, frenziedly charging at Xiadie and the others on the attic; just as Xing and the others drew their weapons to respond, a lion-like heavy punch smashed down, instantly crushing those monsters."

"And there, Wandi's soul actually appeared here; in the darkness, a patch of dazzling gold stood out particularly."

"\"You…\""

"Seeing Xiadie and Xing arrive at this place, Wandi was momentarily stunned."

"\"Wandi… sir? \""

"Xing: 'You came to explore the River of Death too?'"

"Looking at Wandi's current state, Xiadie couldn't help but sigh: 'Wandi sir… you've just gone through another deadly battle.'"

"\"That black tide… endless. My death… is only temporary.' Wandi's voice broke off, 'I will find the way back… return to the world of the living… continue my 'guardianship'.'"

"\"Wandi sir, I've always wanted to know… why does death resist you? \" Xiadie asked."

"\"It's me… resisting it. The temptation to go with the flow… I will oppose it… go upstream, carve a path out of this damned underworld… that is… my destiny.'"

"Xing: 'He speaks a bit haltingly…'"

"\"He seems to be battling with all his spirit and the lure of his last words… to refuse death at this moment.'"

——

Attack on Titan.

"\"So… this is the truth behind Wandi's 'defying death'? \""

"Ellen's blue eyes reflected Wandi's golden soul, seeing him fight and slaughter in the underworld, the youth felt his heart pounding 'thump-thump': 'Such immense spiritual power, he has been fighting, fighting, never stopping for a moment……'"

"Armin nodded thoughtfully: 'No wonder some have bathed in the River of Death's water yet gained no immortality like Wandi. Aglaea said the Golden Descendants all have some 'defect', but now it seems Wandi's 'immortality' isn't a defect—it's because his spiritual power is excessively strong… ordinary Golden Descendants and humans can no longer be compared to him.'"

"\"What if someone's spiritual power could become strong enough to resist death's temptation—could they also gain immortality like Wandi? \" Mikasa covered her scarf, whispering."

"Armin looked at Mikasa's profile, nodded slightly: 'Yeah, probably. Such resurrection might work once or twice, but in the long run no one can truly persist. The black tide is endless, meaning Wandi's slaughter and death are also endless… Nikadoli's descent into madness likely has something to do with this.'"

"\"Facing endless slaughter, the best way to endure is to discard reason, abandon thought, and make oneself a cold, emotionless killing machine—only then can one hold firm in endless slaughter.'"

"Suddenly, Armin shot up his head as if stabbed hard by something, his eyes instantly clearing."

"\"Could it be… that Nikadoli abandoned his reason for this very reason? Just so he could forever contend with the black tide?'"

——

"\"Originally… his battlefield wasn't only in the world of the living. \" Xiadie turned to face Wandi, 'Wandi sir, will you journey with us? We will head to the magic circle atop that tower… to summon the long-hidden Senatos.'"

"\"Sen…atos… challenge… death. \""

"Xiadie nodded: 'Exactly. If we can defeat it together… then you too will no longer be troubled by the curse of immortality.'"

"\"Let's go together, Xiadie… guided by one who has brushed shoulders with death countless times…'"

"Mimi came over with a worried face: 'Xiaodie… are you sure about this? That alchemist still said he'd use you as a sacrifice…'"

"Xiadie smiled and shook her head: '…I'm not afraid. We've come this far… there's no reason to turn back. 'Better to set off than to hesitate; perhaps today fate will show a moment of mercy, dropping a bit of kindness.'"

"Several people arrived before a collapsed tower; since no one could obtain the floating miracle pearl in the distance, they had Mimi use Elonys's divine power to restore a small path."

"\"Mimi succeeded……\""

"Wandi nodded approvingly: 'Pink squirrel… very clever.'"

"Mimi drooped her ears: '…How did I become a squirrel again?'"

"Fortunately they passed through the tower unharmed and reached the high tower engraved with the alchemy circle. As the heavy stone door was pushed open, the long-sealed air, mixed with the scent of ashes, rushed forth."

"The one leading the group, Xiadie, suddenly stopped."

"Her eyes, usually calm as water, violently trembled, as if pierced by an invisible needle, breaking all her defenses. She saw it, saw that figure which filled her with deepest regret……"

"A mist seemed to rise in her eyes, wetting the girl's eye sockets."

"\"That is……\""

"Tian raised her head to look at the approaching crowd, unable to hold back an exclamation: 'Wow, so many people!'"

"\"Little Xie, little Hui! And… little Di, and the pink puppy! \"\"
