Chapter 1263

Yeah, pioneers are often the most remarkable people. They didn't know back then whether the road they forged would reach its end, nor whether the path beneath their feet was correct. The oracle said nothing more than a few lines of indecipherable text; ultimately, those who would sacrifice their lives and shed their golden blood... were human.

Hmm... Tuo'er furrowed his brows, seemingly trying to digest Xiao Lin's words, remaining silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "What if they fail? Wouldn't their sacrifices be meaningless then?"

Well, not exactly... Xiao Lin scratched his head, "Failure itself has meaning. Even if it merely points out a mistaken path for the later golden heirs, their sacrifices won't be in vain."

—— (just a separator line). No named entities.

If you want to stop me from killing the gods, you'd better muster your courage and draw your bow to the fullest. See whether I'll be pierced by countless arrows first... or you'll be burned to ashes by Suolabisi's flames!

The Radiant people let out a despairing wail: "How can we oppose you? You are a mighty Yang Lightning Knight, a Valkyrie capable of matching ten thousand states!"

Thus no new pinyin names.

Saineiersi fell silent for a moment, gazing at those on the ground who didn't even dare to resist their own kin, her voice hoarse as she said: "I am not a god—I am merely a mortal trapped in this prison, the only one brave enough to defy the warden."

The memory of the Radiant people fell into silence. Even under the embellishment of the scorching sun's light, their expressions remained dim as dust.

Look... you are truly cowardly to the extreme. Saineiersi's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, then she patted the winged beast beneath her, saying, "The hunting grounds are calling us. Come on, Suolabisi."

The memory faded here, as Feng Jin lifted her head to gaze at the spot where she had last disappeared, murmuring: "Hero Saineiersi, she was utterly disappointed in the Radiant people's actions and decided to cut off the very source... the god they believed in."

Back then, she was full of compassion. Even when her words were fiery, her heart was filled with mercy toward humanity, Suolabisi said.

Then...?

Suolabisi didn't answer, merely shaking her head: "... It's time to leave, Yaxintes. Lunabis is waiting for you."

Several people quickly ascended to the upper level's space to meet with Lunabis, and after clearing away some Heichi monsters, the group moved forward toward a distant mechanism.

Along the way, Lunabis asked curiously, "Miss Feng Jin... just now, how did you become certain that you could free Suolabisi from her pain?"

Feng Jin replied honestly, "Sorry, I have no absolute certainty, Lady Lunabis... but if we healers lose our optimism, how can patients ignite hope for life?"

Lunabis let out a soft chuckle: "... What a gentle answer."

Dan Heng stood on the Rainbow Bridge, looking down from above at the environment of the first and second levels of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, noticing that many Heichi monsters still lurked there.

The dependents here seem to have all been corrupted by the Heichi.

Bai'e nodded and said, "It's said that the Heichi is a disaster from beyond the heavens; if that's true, then the sky's defenses would naturally be the first to bear the impact."

—— separator.

Absolute Zone Zero.

Rope Maker, if the Heichi is indeed a disaster from beyond the heavens, then doesn't that prove that what lies outside the sky is likely not the universe but the Heichi itself? The whole Weng Faluos is like an egg yolk wrapped in egg white, and that layer of chaotic substance is the eggshell outside.

Also, the Chinese word for "chaotic substance" should be translated as "chaotic substance". It is not a name.

Xixifu sat cross-legged on the large sofa on the second floor, scooping up a piece of QQ-bouncy egg pudding with a plastic spoon.

Even the metaphor is about eggs? Xixifu, you really do love eggs! Zhe let out a helpless laugh, "Although this metaphor is surprisingly apt. But if there's a layer of Heichi between the chaotic substance and Weng Faluos, how did the train initially enter Weng Faluos?"

Well... I don't know either, but basically we just charged in with our eyes closed, no hesitation, Xixifu said matter-of-factly.

Of course it's not that simple, but I do agree with part of Xixifu's speculation. Ling showed a hint of worry, "Just... if Weng Faluos is an egg-structured planet, where would the Extinction Sovereign be imprisoned? Perhaps in Weng Faluos's underground? Or within its crust?"

So far, they still haven't seen what the so-called Extinction Sovereign actually looks like; among the three Envoy-rank powerhouses, it seems only Laigushi has appeared in person.

Back then, she was full of compassion. Even when her words were fiery, her heart was filled with mercy toward humanity, Suolabisi said.

Fairy's voice rang out in the room at that moment: "It's the 'Egg Belt,' Miss Xixifu."

Exactly! That's it!

Though eggs are used for hatching, essentially they are a cradle for a chick. But Weng Faluos is not like that; it is essentially a prison that incarcerates the Extinction Sovereign, and the two are worlds apart. Moreover, if we liken the Heichi to egg white, then it should be continually providing nourishment to the Extinction Sovereign imprisoned underground... heh, is that even possible?

Zhe almost instinctively dismissed that unrealistic speculation, shaking his head with a laugh.

Providing nourishment to an Extinction Sovereign... haha, that's crazy!

But older brother, if Laigushi merely wanted to imprison the Extinction Sovereign, surely there would be a more suitable place in the universe for that, wouldn't it? Don't they fear the Extinction Sovereign breaking out of its shell?

Precisely because they're afraid, that's why they rushed to send Xing and Dan Heng out of Weng Faluos. Zhe said, "Perhaps in Laigushi's eyes, 'Pioneering' is exactly the external force capable of cracking that eggshell."

—— separator.

Several people entered a corridor and discovered that its walls were entirely covered in exquisite murals.

Dan Heng paused to look for a while: "These murals... seem to depict more than just the Sky Titan."

From left to right, the murals show: a giant hammer broken and shattered, a huge yet shattered cup, an eye pierced by a long sword, and... a deity with a strange appearance holding a sphere in its arms.

Dan Heng approached the mural depicting the strange deity and wondered aloud, "Which Titan is this supposed to portray? It doesn't seem to match any of the Weng Faluos myths I've read."

Bai'e said, "Perhaps the ancient sky civilization interpreted Titans entirely differently from us. But I agree with you—this image looks rather unfamiliar."

Saying that, the two of them went again to the wall where the giant eye pierced by a long sword is depicted.

Without a doubt, this mural depicts the Eye of Dawn and Dusk.

Xing carefully examined the seemingly unpressurizing image: "What a huge eye."

"This is the most common form of Aigle in mythology," Feng Jin explained.
