Chapter 1248: with translation of chapter title

~6 min read 1,139 words

""Who… woke me up?""

""I am Yaxintes, descendant of the Sky Clan. I'm sorry to disturb your deep sleep."" Fengjin said respectfully, ""Are you Lord Kelisipus? I read about your story in the clan genealogy. I heard you were an upright judge who vindicated many citizens who suffered false accusations.""

""Ah… I never expected that in this strange era, someone could still remember my name. My bloodline and mission… have continued all the way to this distant age.""

""That's right. The reason I woke you is to obtain your blessing. Because the Fire Pursuit Journey will reach a perfect conclusion before my eyes, and obtaining Aglaea's fire seed is the final challenge the heroes must face.""

Kelisipus stared for a moment: ""A perfect conclusion…?""

As he spoke, he carefully sized up Fengjin from head to toe: ""Yaxintes, you're very young… and your appearance doesn't look like that of a warrior capable of opposing a Titan. How can I be assured that this blessing won't turn into a curse, but instead pave a dead end for a young heir?""

""A thousand years ago, the sky‑conquering Senenes left behind legends and a testament, entrusting the mission of returning the sky Titan's fire seed to their descendants—you and me. Although I am not a warrior, I will absolutely not shirk the mission that has flowed in our blood for a thousand years.""

""Wengfeluos has already ushered in an era where heroes abound! The burden of retrieving Aglaea's fire seed no longer needs to be borne solely by the chosen Child of the Sky.""

This seemed to convince Kelisipus, who gave a soft nod of ""Hmm.""

""I now command the power of healing. I want to mend the rifts in the sky, soothe people's wounds. I wish to interpret the mission of the Sky's descendants with my own will… in my way, to put an end to the vigil that has spanned a thousand years.""

JOJO's Bizarre Adventure: Unbreakable Diamond.

""This campaign probably doesn't require Fengjin to personally take the field, right?""

Watching Fengjin seek her ancestors' blessing here, Zhangzhu couldn't help but worry; the last person who personally participated in the Titan campaign, Xiaodie, has been forever left in the underworld—if Fengjin joins this time, she might also……

He quickly shook his head, trying to fling those bad thoughts out of his mind.

""I think it's unnecessary; Fengjin is a healer, and sending a doctor onto the battlefield is still too risky. Moreover, Fengjin herself doesn't look like someone skilled in combat……"

""Nakesha also doesn't look skilled in combat," Yitai whispered from the side.

""……Nakesha is an exception." Kangyi raised his brow.

""Besides, Zhangzhu, from what Fengjin said, her little flying horse seems able to fight, eh……"

""You mean Xiao Yi Ka?" Zhangzhu carefully observed the strange beast struggling to flap its tiny wings and fly in midair; he really couldn't imagine how this creature, which looks like nothing but monster fodder, could fight.

Although he also knew little about Aglaea, he had previously seen that huge entity hidden in the cloud layers from the firmament. Forget Xiao Yi Ka—tying Fengjin, Bai'e, and others together probably wouldn't even be enough to stuff between its teeth.

""If only we could summon Wandi—he could fire that massive spear he conjures and likely shoot Aglaea straight down from the clouds. The clash between the conflict Demigod and the legendary sky Titan… that's practically a showdown that exists only in the legends of Wengfeluos!"

——

""From your words I sense perseverance… not merely superficial, but rooted in the heart." Kelisipus clasped his hands, ""Accept my blessing, young Yaxintes. May you gain wings and ride the rainbow bridge back to the sky.""

""Having said that, the old man's soul vanished."

""Thank you for your trust, Lord Kelisipus. We will surely not disappoint expectations……"

Danheng walked over from behind: ""…Well done, Fengjin."

Fengjin chuckled proudly: ""Hey… thanks for the praise. My ancestors are all strong-willed individuals; convincing them isn't easy. I've mentally rehearsed scene after scene of meeting them countless times."

""The next ancestor to visit… it's said her heroic soul remains in the Primordial Vortex Core. Unfortunately the ritual must proceed in order—should we team up and return to Aohema, Danbao?"

""The Primordial Vortex Core… well, I do have a suggestion."

""Hmm…?"

""Do you remember? A while ago, you recommended I study the "Spirit Water Secret Art" of the Fajina priests…… I practiced in my spare time and achieved some stage‑wise results. Now, as long as I carry "Spirit Water" on me, I can use the secret art to open a passage to the Primordial Vortex Core."

Fengjin exclaimed in delight: ""Ah, I still remember! I didn't expect you to keep at it this long—truly worthy of Danbao!"

""Compared to the currents of my homeland, the waters of Wengfeluos are more… unrestrained. Taming them has been somewhat difficult, but luckily I've roughly figured out the way."

——

Jackie Chan Adventures.

""Impressive…… truly worthy of Danheng!"

Seeing Danheng effortlessly manipulate Wengfeluos's water flow, Xiao Yu excitedly turned her head and grabbed the nearby Jackie Chan who was drinking water, "Uncle Jackie! Look quick—Danheng truly is the Dragon Sovereign, as expected…… no matter where, it has absolute control over water flow!"

""If Danheng had come to Wengfeluos a thousand years earlier, hum…… who knows, maybe there wouldn't be that Haisiyin business at all!"

""Xiao Yu, don't play favorites—Haisiyin should be that demigod who inherited the ocean's divine office, right? Being so fondly remembered by Aglaea and Saifeier, she must have been an outstanding golden‑line descendant in life."

""Um……"

Xiao Yu had originally wanted to speak up for Danheng again, but seeing Uncle Jackie's gentle yet somewhat stern gaze of an elder, she reluctantly pursed her lips and muttered, "I… I… just feel that Danheng taking over the ocean Titan's divine office would be quite fitting."

""I actually think Danheng doesn't need to inherit that divine office at all; as long as he fully unleashes the Dragon Sovereign's power, he'd be on par with the local deities. After all, his strength has been proven in that hard battle against Huanlong…… but then again……"

Watching the water slowly rise in Danheng's hand amidst the firmament, a hint of solemnity flickered across Jackie Chan's face and was gone.

Danheng and Xing still don't know that Wengfeluos harbors an Extinction Overlord…… if they found out, how would they and Xing decide? Should they stay in Wengfeluos or leave?

Choosing the former would definitely send one straight into the next reincarnation—by then, whether Xing's memory would be preserved is uncertain; it's impossible to truly make Xing take on the "Age" Titan of the next reincarnation.

But if they leave Wengfeluos…… this Extinction Overlord is ultimately a hidden danger to the whole galaxy; though it hasn't exploded yet, who could guarantee it never will?
