Chapter 1264: Weng Falos 3.3 (305)

Bai E walked up to another mural depicting a broken cup.

"Fajina's overflowing cup, the mural shows its fracture. Though the opposition between sky and sea isn't severe… it's clear that Aigeler's people aren't exactly friendly toward the latter."

The last mural was a shattered hammer, and Bai E instantly recognized what it symbolized.

"Giolia, Aigeler's ancient foe. Unlike the mutually symbiotic Creative Three Titans… sky and earth have never ceased to slander and mock each other."

"But when one leaves the dim‑light courtyard of the Sky Civilization and lives among mortals, one discovers that Earth also has a gentle, generous side," Feng Jin speculated. "People with people, city‑states with city‑states, gods with gods… I think all conflict stems from our misunderstandings of each other, right?"

Offer blessings to a beautiful world.

Oh… I get it! That strange deity is the Extinction Sovereign who has never manifested!

Akua slapped the table excitedly, producing a booming "dong". She lifted her chin proudly, as if she had pierced some secret again.

"I'm telling you, foolish goddess… could you stop attributing everything that rustles to the Extinction Sovereign? This looks like the Extinction Sovereign, that also looks like the Extinction Sovereign… How about you look at me—do I look like the Extinction Sovereign?"

He Zhen couldn't help reaching out to pinch Akua's cheek, pulling it to both sides, trying to snap the creature out of it.

"Uwaa! Ouch, ouch—! He Zhen, what are you doing!" Akua slapped He Zhen's hand away, rubbing her reddened cheek and protesting plaintively, "It's obvious! That strange deity looks powerful; if it isn't a Titan, it must be a being above the Twelve Titans! Who else could it be besides the Extinction Sovereign?"

He Zhen wordlessly adjusted his forehead, "Did a giant frog swallow your brain and then digest it? The Extinction Sovereign does exist in Weng Falos, but do you think such a being could be seen by ordinary folk? That's a core secret of Weng Falos; apart from Laigushi, probably no one has ever seen the true visage of that emissary."

"Uh… uh… uh… you said, who is that strange deity?"

"It should be a creature linked to Heichi, right?" He Zhen grabbed a freshly grilled chicken skewer from the table, took a bite, and mumbled, "These Sky People also deal with Heichi up close, like Stikokisia; maybe we can get some intel on Heichi from here."

Lunabisi was ahead, leading them toward the Rain People's Hall.

"Legend says Seneos's father was a Hui‑people warrior who roamed and fought abroad all day, rarely returning to the Dawn‑Dusk Eye. Her childhood was mostly spent beside her mother, a priestess of the Rain People," Feng Jin said.

Lunabisi nodded, "Indeed, that's the true history. It was when she was young that the conflict between the two peoples began to flare. The Rain People feared the other half of Seneos's bloodline and never truly regarded her as kin. Yet she bore no hatred for those tribes and grew into a passionate young woman."

"Until… people discovered that golden blood still coursed through her veins. That was the final poison that turned disgust into fear."

Feng Jin was stunned, "What? The epic says the hero Seneos once lived apart to hone her will and train her martial skills. I didn't expect… she was expelled from her clan because of her lineage and golden heritage?"

Lunabisi continued, "Even so, she never fell into despair about the world. While traveling alone, she met me and Solabis. We hunted, grew, lived together, and formed an alliance. I think it was that oath, sturdier than fate, that kept Solabis and me here, ever watching over this lonely fortress."

Bai E: "Even after betrayal and exile, she still chose to embark on a god‑slaying quest for her people. Hero Seneos, is her love for humanity also profound and unconditional?"

——

Assassin Wu Liùqī.

"That Seneos was actually quite kind to her own people."

Listening to Lunabisi's recounting of the past, Wu Liùqī also felt a strong curiosity toward the Valkyrie. He couldn't help but marvel that the golden‑blooded pioneers of the Pursuing Fire path, in both martial might and tolerant mindset, truly were a legend of their generation.

So the truth is, when Seneos campaigned against the Titans, she accidentally learned of Aigeler's fear of Heichi, and thus decided to release all the Sky People onto the Earth, keeping herself and her two winged‑beast companions in the heavens to oppose Heichi?

That is the historical truth Wu Liùqī can infer from the currently known facts.

"You idiot, do you think Seneos would tell the Hui people the true history, and they'd believe it?" Ji Dabao slapped Wu Liùqī on the head.

"Heichi is right before us; whether they believe it or not is beyond their control," Wu Liùqī rubbed his head. "If they don't leave the sky, each of them will turn into a Heichi monster."

"Even if they're infected by Heichi, with the prejudice and loathing we now see, they'll only shift the blame onto Seneos, claiming her actions affected Aigeler." Ji Dabao said bluntly, "The legends that survive today all record Seneos's bravery and contributions. I guess it's likely that Aigeler later decided to act against the Sky People, making them see the true attitude of that Sky Titan toward humanity, turning faith into fear."

——

"……"

Lunabisi didn't answer directly, only letting out a deep sigh.

Suddenly, with a "du du" sound, Xiao Yika fluttered out.

"Ah, Xiao Yika—why did you run out on your own?"

Lunabisi examined Xiao Yika with interest, "This little creature, it is …"

"Du… du, du!"

Feng Jin, a bit surprised, "You mean… you sensed a familiar aura on Lord Lunabisi?"

Mimi: "Although they look worlds apart, speaking plainly… Xiao Yika should also be a winged beast, right?"

"Du du! Du!"

Lunabisi's tone was deeply mournful, "What a miracle of fate. Perhaps we have indeed left something behind for this world… Seneos."

Feng Jin looked at it, puzzled, "Lord Lunabisi…? Could Xiao Yika be yours…?"

"…Press on, heroes of the Pursuing Fire. I can feel Aigeler's radiance growing stronger."
