Chapter 962: Weng Falos (10)

~6 min read 1,018 words

Spiritual ability: 100%.

"Master, why must we guard against others learning Xing and Dan Heng's identities?" Long Tao was a bit confused, "And Weng Falos looks so chaotic—would it be a terrible thing for ordinary people to know the truth?"

"Hmm, terrible, of course it's terrible." Ling Huan sat opposite him, crossed his legs, folded his hands, and explained seriously: "Based on Bai E's reaction, it seems Weng Falos has never had outsiders arrive before; to the people of Weng Falos, Xing and Dan Heng are essentially... aliens."

"Aliens could carry more dangerous weapons and more advanced technology. More crucially, their stance could be exploited by those with ulterior motives."

"Master… you mean there might be bad people in these temples?" Long Tao looked at him anxiously.

"Where are there no bad people? Sometimes bad and good can transform into each other; there is no fixed form," Ling Huan said, "The key point is, according to Bai E, these Titans seem to be in a state of mutual conflict. For them, 'outsiders' are the highest-level secret. If disclosed to ordinary people lightly or revealed at the wrong time, it could put Bai E's faction at a disadvantage."

"Huh?" Xiao Jiuwo floated to Ling Huan's head, "Is it that serious?"

"It's like announcing on Earth that aliens exist and are descending—panic would spread quickly, causing political turmoil." Ling Huan lifted the thermos on the table and sipped tea, "... You of your kind obviously won't understand; for a closed civilization, the impact of aliens is simply overwhelming."

——

"Dan Heng and the others accepted Bai E's request, and Ti Bao led the two forward."

"\"Friends, I guess you have many questions, right? \" Ti Bao led the two to a broken bridge and said, \"Why chat alone? Of course, the quieter the place, the better for communication. \""

"Dan Heng hesitated, then said, 'But the road ahead... is broken.'"

"\"Hey, look at that reaction; you really aren't lying—true newcomers. From now on, don't blink—also, Xiao Bai doesn't have the nerve to arrange *us*, so it's about the same the other way around. \""

"\"Alright! Quiet down, now *we* are about to summon the 【Divine Miracle】... \""

"Crossing Janus's myriad gates, we, the humble descendants, stand before the altar, receiving the judgment of the scales. Selfless arbiter Talandon (Titan of Law), by the name of law, pronounce us innocent; weigh the fruits hanging in the mortal world, and exchange them for the lingering sweetness of bygone days."

"\"I summon you, Olorinis (Titan of Time), lift the veil of memory—\""

"\"... once again stir the ripples of the past! \""

The blue page before Ti Bao slowly unfolded, and a golden light surged from it, flooding the entire temple like a tide in an instant.

The cracks, pits, and stone slabs eroded by time and war began, under the golden light, to miraculously restore; the collapsed pillars rose again, the faded murals became as vivid as before, as if... time itself had reversed.

In the blink of an eye, the whole temple was renewed, even the view outside the windows changed; sunlight streamed through golden windows onto the floor, as if laying a warm carpet.

Dan Heng stared in amazement at everything unfolding, hardly daring to trust his eyes: "This is... unbelievable."

——

Luo Xiaohēi Chronicles.

"What the heck???"

"What is this? Reversing time?"

"That girl is defying the heavens! Which god is this faith in that's so effective?"

On the street, countless pedestrians stopped, staring in disbelief at the 'miracle' unfolding in the sky.

"Time reversal? No... this is using the Star God's power?" Lu Ye inhaled sharply, staring intently at the tiny figure in the sky.

Is this an illusion? Or a trick of the eyes?

No... after uttering that strange slogan, the collapsed bridge indeed appeared before Dan Heng, and the two even crossed it to reach Ti Bao.

It is truly... time flowing backward.

Through simple observation, Lu Ye found it wasn't mere time reversal—the crowd seated behind them in the temple remained—meaning only the temple itself could experience time reversal.

"Senior sister, that slogan is amazing! I want to recite it too!"

Xiao Hei devoured his hamburger in three bites, leaving only a small piece of bun, then closed his eyes, placed his hand on the bun, and began chanting to it: "Senior sister, how does that line go... I summon you, Orenis..."

"Olorinis."

"Oh, I summon you, Olorinis, lift the veil of memory—once, once again stir the ripples of the past!"

As Xiao Hei shouted loudly in the fast‑food shop, the leftover hamburger bun before him... gently flipped over.

Although Xiao Hei strained with all his might, veins bulging on the back of his hand, the bun did not restore to its original form as it had in the sky.

"Huh? Doesn't work?" Xiao Hei scratched his head in confusion.

"It's probably not the Star God's power; only locals of Weng Falos can wield this time‑reversal ability," Lu Ye shook her head, her gaze passing through the glass behind Xiao Hei to the newly renewed temple in the sky. "But... if not the Star God, who possesses such power? Could it be a native deity of Weng Falos? Yet even many Star Gods can't reverse time, can they?"

Given Weng Falos's closed society and level of civilization, she even had reason to believe the locals might not even know what a 'Star God' is.

But it doesn't rule out that the so‑called 'Titans' are merely a local term for 'Star Gods', just as Immortal Boat people like to call Nanuk the 'Ash‑Extinguishing Calamity Ancestor'.

Lu Ye thought more and found it stranger: "This place is indeed off—very off. Which Star God is the 'Titan of Time' that Ti Bao mentioned? Why have we never heard of it before?"

——

"Soon after the two approached Ti Bao, the surrounding temples instantly reverted to their current damaged state."

"How... how could... Olorinis's prayer have failed?" a desperate voice came from behind.

"But a pillar of light descended from the sky, pouring straight down like a stage spotlight, enveloping Ti Bao's tiny figure within it."
