Chapter 1257

If the celestial mural can truly show Aegle's emotions, then this Titan's mood currently isn't very good.

Because the sky was almost completely dark, this darkness perfectly blended with the clouds over Tokyo; from afar, it looked like a vast, invisible black hand pressing down on everyone's heads, wrapping up all the myriad neon lights inside.

If Senenos truly merged with Aegle and its thoughts occupied the dominant consciousness, it shouldn't greet Fengjin with this attitude." Jiude Mayi said, "Could it be that Senenos encountered a situation similar to Aglaea's? Humanity has gradually worn away over a thousand years, and now the more violent Aegle occupies the primary consciousness.

Heh… long legs, you shouldn't say that, but it's really possible." Su Enxi wiped the chip seasoning off her fingers, her fingers flying over the keyboard to bring up a new interface, "And don't you find it strange? Today's Tokyo weather forecast clearly showed a big sunny day, but right now—never mind the sun… the rain is falling so hard my bones feel moldy, don't you think the forecast is wildly off?

Jiude Mayi gazed thoughtfully at the darkness in the sky canopy, her voice low: "No, perhaps it's not because of the weather forecast.

Jing Tian

If we were to describe it using the terms familiar to Hui Bao and Dan Bao—just think of it as a huge 'screen.' No matter what, exploring in the dark is certainly not a good idea. If we could light up the mural… it might provide us with the necessary light to move forward.

Since the ritual implements currently before Fengjin are overly ancient, she also didn't know how to illuminate the mural, so she decided to have Mimi recreate the memories of this place. After its efforts, a woman truly appeared before everyone.

Suspended Peak People

The Rain People will not tolerate oppression… O gods, if you remain silent, then we must forge our own weapons and resist the malice they conceal behind brilliance… May the 'Eye of Dawn and Dusk' never open, and the relentless rain never cease.

Seeing the pained expression of the Rain People, Fengjin was greatly surprised: 'Does Aegle dislike overcast rain… This seems unbelievable, but let's first record this clue.'

Hundred-Eyed Sky People

Heh… foolish Rain People…… the great Aegle has left its avatar imprint among the golden clouds…… the divine choice is now clear; only we, children of the blazing sun, are the orthodox of the sky, this war is destined to end in the victory of the Radiant People.

Watching the Radiant People and Rain People even attack each other's prayers, Bai'e also gained a basic impression of their conflict.

Indeed, just as rumored, the interior of the Sky City is not united.

Eye of Dawn and Dusk

Aohema

Well, looks like even the weather can become a point of contention. Aegle in Wangluo Luo is practically 'Heaven,' right? Let Heaven love whatever weather it likes—why are they still fighting each other?

In the backyard of Xin'an Dang, Jing Tian lay on a rattan chair cushioned with a soft pad, the bamboo fan in his hand gently fanning himself.

You're an idiot; at this point it's obvious you have nothing to do with Aegle anymore." Xuejian glared at Jing Tian lying under the old locust tree, "Have you forgotten how things were back when we were in the Tang Sect? My grandfather was gravely ill, and the Tang Sect quickly fell into internal strife—actually, the reasoning is quite similar to that of the Radiant and Rain Peoples; it's purely about seizing power within a faction.

Radiant People

Stop!" Xuejian raised a hand to cut off Jing Tian's speech, her chest heaving violently, "There's no need to say more. What I want to express is that actually, similar situations exist everywhere; Aohema is the same—indeed, within Aohema there are similar situations, but they're smart, having established a mechanism that convinces the populace—namely the citizen assembly system—so they've avoided bloody clashes over power.

Xuejian paused, then continued, "To be honest, even without Aegle, these two opposing factions would still fight over something else; the so-called 'Aegle's choice and favoritism' is ultimately just an excuse devised to suppress their own kin.

Sigh…" Jing Tian let out a breath, his tone both helpless and amused, "These folks really never stop fighting—first they clashed with the Xuanfeng people as an external force, then even after reaching the heavens they still fought among themselves, and in the end they had to pick up weapons to battle Aegle this Titan… really… they never have a moment's rest.

Chinese Paladin 3

My guess is correct—this is indeed the place for conducting the celestial ritual. Mimi, can you dredge up any more memories?

Mimi confidently nodded, extending her claw forward: "Nothing can stump people, let me transform—"

Soon, a blurry human figure appeared before the machine.

"Wind, snow, rain, xi… With the hundred‑eyed people of the sky, I bestow celestial phenomena upon the world. Dawn and dusk turn, governing the chaos—Awaken, 'Celestial Phenomenon Painting Wall'…"

Seeing the Radiant People nearby angrily rush over: "How dare you privately tamper with the Chaos Instrument, altering the celestial phenomena? This is blasphemy!"

The Rain People turned and angrily shouted: "... Titan gave the Chaos Instrument to our ancestors, so that we could fairly divide yin and yang, day and night, allowing all things to grow under the celestial phenomena they love. But the Son of Blazing Sun arrogantly seized the Celestial Phenomenon Painting Wall, making daylight endless and endless, the earth suffering drought and scorching... What face do you have to blame the Rain People, oppressed to the extreme?!"

The Radiant People declared righteously: "The earth? The earth is our ancient enemy! Moreover, without the dark clouds and rain favored by Aigle, how can we lead the Sky People to win the Golden War?"

"Your character is as fragile as your faith… Go find a corner not favored by the scorching sun, hide in the shadows and weep alone—The only thing you can do is cry secretly!"

However, the Rain People were not driven back as he had imagined; instead, they stepped closer, one step at a time.

"Heh… then let you see what we are capable of…"

"You… you… what…?" the Radiant People finally panicked, staggering back a few steps, but accidentally fell to the ground, "You… you what do you intend to do…?!"

"Fanatics whose minds are addled by the heat wave…"

The Rain People drew the dagger hidden behind their back with a backhand, lunged to seize the opponent's neck, and with lightning speed stabbed the dagger hard into the opponent's chest.

"By Aigle's grace, go die!"
