Chapter 1267: Weng Falos 3.3 (308)

"Feng Jin never mentioned whether his ancestors were of the Rain People or the Radiance People or such tribes, but simply called them 'Children of the Sky', Shan Yi, what do you think this indicates?"

Shan Yi lowered his head and thought: "The last thing Seneos did was to eliminate the barriers between several great tribes, making them a whole again, and then return to the ground?"

"Hmm." Tanjiro nodded. "I think the truth of history is that Seneos neither died in the campaign against Aigler nor succeeded in the subjugation; instead she eventually returned to the tribe and carried out a series of reforms on the Children of the Sky. Because she achieved an unprecedented feat, that legend spread to praise her contribution."

——

"In full view of everyone, the mark fled upward again."

"It flew toward the dome of the painted wall… I remember that place."

"I remember too, Solabys."

"At the dome of the celestial mural, we delivered a fatal blow to Aigler. The 'Wing of Blazing Sun' ignited the Titan's wings, and the 'Feather of Star and Moon' sealed the Titan's body…"

Feng Jin took the two winged beasts' words: "The scar‑riddled sky hero… pierces that final terrifying giant eye." It seems that this passage describing the decisive battle in the legend is quite realistic.

Lunebis: "But some things cannot be recorded—those witnessed only by us."

"After Aigler let out a defeated screech, we looked toward the ground. Those who had watched us clash—we saw the expressions on their faces."

"Old, middle‑aged, young, children. They all wore the same expression: an unspeakable terror."

"Our victory did not bring cheers or celebration. The terrified people fell into chaos, shouting, trampling each other… When they realized that their centuries‑old faith had been overturned by a cursed half‑blood, …"

"They regressed into irrational, cannibalistic beasts. No… that description insults the beastly nature. Even in the most wild forests of Weng Falos, Solabys and I have never witnessed such madness."

Star: "Faith drove them into madness."

Dan Heng lowered his head and said: "Seneos, that hero… her ideas were indeed a bit naive."

Feng Jin, puzzled, said: "But… this differs from the historical records. In the myths passed down among the Sky Clan, after Aigler was gravely wounded, she intended a desperate last stand… To prevent Aigler from using the entire sky‑curtain of Weng Falos as a weapon to smash the earth, the hero Seneos chose to sacrifice herself and seal the Titan…"

Bai E sneered: "… Erasing the brutal, bloody, and mediocre lament, magnifying the hero's glory, praising their deeds—epics and legends have always been like this."

Chronicles of Cheng Long's Adventures.

"They… why…?"

Xiao Yu's voice trembled. Aigler was dead; once Seneos inherited the flame, it should have been an infinite boon for the Sky Children, so why did it turn out like this?

Cheng Long was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Xiao Yu, you can't expect everyone's thoughts at that time to align with Seneos. After deciding to slay the god, she no longer worshipped Aigler, but those Sky Children… their faith collapsed the instant Aigler was shattered."

"Faith collapse?" Xiao Yu scratched her head; she didn't quite understand what that meant.

"Some blamed Aigler, but they feared a world without Aigler even more. From birth they were taught that the Titan was eternal, invincible, untouchable; the entire civilization of the Sky Children was built on those premises. So the deity they had worshipped for millennia being killed by a half‑blood… At that moment, it wasn't only Aigler that fell, but also the world as the Sky Children understood it."

"If Aigler can be killed, what meaning do the generations of prayers and kneelings of those children have? What are the priests who devoted their lives to the deity? What is the ancestral faith? No one can answer these questions in a day. So the Sky Children became as Suorobis described… their reason fell with Aigler."

Cheng Long's words were like a hammer, making Xiao Yu's heart race wildly. She had never imagined losing faith could be so severe.

"Alright, Uncle Dragon, I admit Seneos miscalculated here. But these people can't stay mad forever, can they? One day they'll have to accept the reality of Aigler's death."

Cheng Long nodded: "Yes, though we don't know what happened in between, at least the legends left by the Sky Children still praise Seneos, showing they eventually understood her actions."

——

"You will see the unknown side of the legend, young Yaxin Tesi. Facing a truth sealed for a thousand years, can your steps remain so steadfast?"

Lunebis: "That would be a cruel truth destined to shake your belief. Are you ready to face it, Miss Feng Jin?"

"……"

Feng Jin placed a hand on her chest, inhaled deeply, and solemnly said: "I am ready, gentlemen. No matter what form the sealed history takes, the ancestors' spirits will urge me to make the right decision. This mission's weight far exceeds my personal likes, dislikes, and biases."

"If what I must face is a tampered history, a millennia‑old lie… then I am willing to believe that the one who wove the lie also had his own reasons and grievances. And I am willing to assume those reasons were benevolent—because that is how I view the world, my choice."

Solabys, seeing this, ceased urging: "Since you have made up your mind, press on. I have summoned the Rainbow Bridge. Follow it to resolve the fate entanglement between the human child and that Titan in the dome."

Watching Bai E and the others' backs, Lunebis whispered: "The miracle she has never forgotten… is only one step away from becoming reality."

"Gentlemen… how did Lady Seneos become so powerful?"

"Talent, and arduous cultivation."

"That… sounds like a trait every successful person possesses."

"She is special. Her resolve surpasses even obsession." Lunebis looked at the shimmering rainbow road ahead, "Continue along the Rainbow Bridge, heroes."
