Chapter 1252: Weng Falos 3.3 (293)
"In Lord Bai E's words, he must have become a 'better person'."
Dan Heng couldn't help but praise, "Only a sufficiently strong spirit can learn forgiveness. You are no less than your ancestors, Feng Jin."
A smile finally returned to Feng Jin's face: "Hey... you're getting better at chatting, Danbao."
——
Attack on Titan.
"It turns out Kelatus killed Feng Jin's grandmother; I didn't expect there was this connection between them..."
Armin stared at the girl in the sky, admiring her willingness to let go of hatred, but what shocked him even more was Feng Jin's grandmother's exaggerated combat power.
Xuanfeng Festival Star and Xia Die had also participated, knowing what trials were involved. Kelatus, on the other hand, was a veteran who followed the former Xuanfeng king Oulipang in countless campaigns, and was Wandi's teacher, having spent a lifetime in innumerable battles. For an ordinary person, her grandmother reaching Kelatus's presence already made her a fighter one in a thousand.
No wonder Saifei has the impression of the 'Sky Descendants' being tall and mighty; compared like this, Feng Jin indeed lacks the exaggerated martial prowess of those 'ancestors' of hers.
Her grandmother was already that formidable... how strong must Saineos have been a thousand years ago?
"I'm a bit worried about Feng Jin; she doesn't have the strength of those ancestors, could she..." Allen began, then stopped.
"You mean to say that during the campaign against Aigle, Feng Jin became a burden to Bai E and the others?" Armin read Allen's thoughts and pointed it out directly.
"After all, she's just a physician... she has no means of self‑protection. If Aigle truly can summon wind and rain as the legends say, not only Feng Jin but even Bai E might not withstand it unscathed, right?"
"Allen, I understand your concern, but on this point I think you should trust Feng Jin more, as well as that Xiao Ika beside her... I don't know how that little fellow fights, but Feng Jin daring to go alone to the Tree Court must have some support."

"In her final diary, Grandmother wrote that when the summons of destiny comes, she hopes the descendants of the Sky Tribe will bring the news of departure to the soul she left in the world. When she discovers that the one who awakens her is the granddaughter she once cherished... I wonder how Grandmother will react?"
Having said that, Feng Jin went to the tombstone and used a rainbow box to awaken her grandmother's spirit.
"Yaxin Ti Ya opened her eyes, curiously scanning the surroundings: 'Is this... the world of the living?' She suddenly noticed Feng Jin before her, and for a moment couldn't react: 'Wait, you, could you be...'"
Seeing her grandmother who had passed years ago, Feng Jin's voice trembled slightly: "Grandmother—it's me, your Yaxin Tesi."
Grandmother's voice was both proud and worried: "Yaxin Tesi, my little hummingbird! Why is it you... that awakens me, why you?! I never imagined this scenario; I thought when this day came I would feel at peace with all ancestors. But now... now I can't even fully enjoy the joy of reuniting with you!"
"Do you remember... when I had just turned eight weeks old, you and Father took me to my first Sky Festival? At that time, you let me choose one of four ornaments: the blazing sun headband representing nobility, the thunderstorm bracelet representing strength, the ice‑snow ring symbolizing wisdom, and the gentle glow pendant representing kindness... Grandmother, do you recall which I chose?"
Grandmother strained to recall: "Back then... you recited a naive prayer, drawing a faint glimmer to that unremarkable pendant..."
Feng Jin nodded: "Yes. Moreover, your reaction was a bit surprised—because in the past few hundred years, no child of the Sky Tribe has made the same choice as I did."
——
Jujutsu Kaisen.
"The Sky peoples are famed for their fortitude, yet it is the gentlest, least martial Feng Jin who retrieves the fire seed, assumes the priesthood; fate truly is... hard to grasp."
The thought of such a young girl facing Aigle head‑on made Itadori genuinely break a sweat for Feng Jin.
"Speaking of it, Aigle flies in the sky; if it can't be beaten by Bai E and the others and just flies away, what then? There seems to be no good way to control it..."
"To deal with such a colossal beast, the best method is to jump onto it. Find a weak spot like the eyes and strike hard, or have Bai E aim at its head for a single slash—against large monsters, the head is often the weak point," suggested Hishikata Takuya. "... just worry its size is too huge to locate a head. Moreover, we still don't know what Aigle looks like—whether it's a dragon, a bird, or some other creature..."
Shouko slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "If I recall correctly, Aigle once engaged in a long battle with Nicadoli, and it's said Nicadoli won? From that, Aigle's overall strength seems inferior to Nicadoli's."
Hishikata looked at her with a skeptical face: "Is that true? Saying that makes me believe you."
Yui Itto let out a light sigh: "But we can't be careless; when we fought Nicadoli, we had Wandi and Xia Die supporting us. This time it's different—Wandi and Xia Die are in Xuanfengcheng and the Underworld respectively, so the only ones who can actually fight are Dan Heng, Xing, and Bai E. The pressure is far greater than when we faced Nicadoli..."
——
"Yaxin Tesi... I once thought you were a cowardly child. Your interest in arms and martial skills is scant, and you show none of the fortitude and vigor of our clan. Yet I kept telling myself: that's not a flaw. If my little hummingbird can live a life of optimism and kindness, that is certainly not misfortune."
"I never imagined the burden of retrieving Aigle's fire seed would truly fall on you..."
"Please don't worry for me, Grandmother. In my view, what defines the bloodline of the Sky Children is not only outstanding power, but also our innate talent to shape the world." Like a warm spring breeze, Feng Jin's gaze was clear and resolute, showing not a hint of worry.
"A thousand years ago, when the world urgently needed a hero bold enough to challenge the gods, the hero Saineos stepped forward, ushering in the Fire Pursuit Era... Now, as the Fire Pursuit Journey nears its end, the scarred world before us desperately calls for healing."
"What a marvelous coincidence— a millennial heroic saga that begins with 'Sky' and ends with 'Sky'..."
After hearing her granddaughter's words, Grandmother smiled contentedly: "Heh... you're still as optimistic as when you were a child. Since you've made up your mind, see your belief through to the end, Yaxin Tesi."
"Return to the sky with my blessing, and look down upon this world about to be saved!"
