Chapter 1294

A few days ago, Aohema's 'Gloomlight Courtyard'……

"Miss Fengjin… are you really leaving?" Clementine asked with a worried face.

"Sure! Lord Bai'e has already set the departure date. As a descendant of the sky hero, I must make preparations and shoulder my responsibility."

Clementine lowered her head: "But… this newly opened 'Gloomlight Courtyard'……"

Fengjin gently encouraged: "Believe in yourself, Clementine! You are an excellent healer, already capable of standing on your own. The patients all trust you, and you deserve their trust… that's enough, right?"

Tibao encouraged from the side: "Miss Clementine's medical skills are impressive—*we* also think you can surely uphold the signboard of the Gloomlight Courtyard!"

"Thank you, Lady Tibao! I… will surely do my best." Clementine smiled bashfully, "I merely… still lack Miss Fengjin's confidence and resolve. No matter how severe the patient or injury, she always faces it with a smile……"

"……"

Fengjin put away the smile on her face, speaking seriously: "Actually… I'm not confident about everything, Clementine. I'm just good at hiding my unease—because in my view, that's an important quality."

"What could make Miss Fengjin feel insecure… is really hard to imagine."

Fengjin lowered her head to look at Tibao: "Then… let's give an example? Fortunately, Teacher Tibao is also here……"

"... Huh? It's actually related to *us* as well?"

"Let's take the Fire Pursuit Journey as an example? Since Lady Aglaea began leading Aohema, every golden heir who bore the fire seed—ah, except Teacher Nakesha—was personally selected by her. I am the only exception… because Hero Senyeos designated her own bloodline as the successor of 'Sky'. Whether Lady Aglaea acknowledges my potential… until the day she left, I did not know."

"So, regarding whether I can fulfill this mission… my heart has always been uneasy."

——

Attack on Titan.

"Aglaea actually didn't acknowledge Fengjin's potential?" Eren couldn't quite believe it.

That's understandable, from Senyeos onward to Fengjin's grandmother. These sky folk are renowned for valor and martial prowess; compared to those predecessors, Fengjin's martial ability…… is still vastly different. Since it's said that golden heirs are flawed, Fengjin's shortcoming naturally lies in combat.

Armin chuckled lightly and continued: "Even if Aglaea were resurrected, who would have imagined that Fengjin's petite body could unleash such power?"

The usually silent Mikasa suddenly rebutted: "But when Erin accepted the divine post of the Eternal Titan, Aglaea also raised another possibility: Erin's inheritance would fail. She would select suitable candidates one by one from the golden heirs of Janusapolis, and even eventually expand the scope to cover the entire holy city. If Aglaea truly didn't trust Fengjin, she would likely do something similar—picking stronger individuals from the sky descendants……"

That remark left Armin stunned for a moment. But upon reflection, taking preventive measures against any possible risk for the Fire Pursuit Journey is the most in line with Aglaea's character.

Even Nakesha would be the same; if Aglaea thought Nakesha couldn't inherit the rational fire seed, she would likely have already selected a suitable golden heir scholar in the Tree Court to inherit the fire seed, right?

She made no arrangements for Fengjin and Nakesha precisely because she absolutely trusted both of them. Especially Nakesha—even if all the scholars of Uglaros were summoned, surely no one would be more suited to Sehisis than this 'Defiler of Gods' of his.

——

"Heh heh……"

"Lady Tibao… why did you laugh?"

"Because little Fengjin's desired answer is actually quite simple, oh! Just shift your perspective a bit and you'll understand—think about it! Given Ya's personality, if she deemed you lacking that quality…… do you think she would completely not consider making other plans?"

"……"

Fengjin immediately understood, the sole doubt in her heart dispelled, she lightly laughed: "Heh… thinking about it, my mood really feels much lighter, ah."

Fengjin suddenly had an idea, hoping Tibao would teach her the incantation for returning the fire seed hand over hand, in preparation for future returns. Tibao gladly agreed, teaching her each sentence hand over hand; as the girl's childish voice rang out, time also returned to the present……

"As Fengjin placed the fire seed into the pool, two winged beasts also appeared in the heart of the Genesis Vortex."

"Lord Solaris, Lord Lunebis…… the mission of the sky descendants is complete… your vigil can finally come to an end."

"We thank you, Miss Fengjin… even though we are the source of that false legend, you still brought us liberation."

Fengjin shook her head: "Please don't say that. Without the two of you wings, we would struggle in the Eye of Dawn and Dusk. Aohema is in imminent danger; I must quickly shoulder the demigod's duty, protecting everyone with the power of the sky. My lords, please tell me… what trials still await me to complete?"

"I think you have already fulfilled everything you ought to… Miss Fengjin." Lunebis raised her head, gazing at the radiant totem in the sky, "What do you think… Senyeos?"

Unexpectedly, the totem actually responded: "Child of the sky……"

"Lady Senyeos?" Fengjin exclaimed in realization, "Indeed… after enduring the long ages, your will and the Titan's divinity have merged, indistinguishable from each other, ah."

"I… deeply… regret…… I beseech… forgiveness……"

"The darkness in people's hearts… obscured my senses…… the deep-seated resilience of the collective… I failed to notice……"

"... Among those present that day, I don't know how many were innocent and how many deserved their fate. Therefore, I cannot forgive you on their behalf, Lady Senyeos……" Fengjin drew from her bosom a glittering rainbow box, "The spirits of our ancestors resonate with me. You exiled our clan; perhaps they too cannot easily forgive. But… there is at least one thing we can agree upon. That is something no one can distort—concerning your truth—"

"Your courage to raise arms against the gods is genuine and pure. That bravery has also been inherited by those who later embarked on the Fire Pursuit Journey, flourishing and growing strong."
