Chapter 992: Weng Falosi 3.0 (38)

Facing Bai E's eager gaze, Xing nodded and decided to stay in Weng Falosi.

"Great! You truly are the hope of Weng Falosi." Seeing Xing nod, Bai E was thrilled, "I have always believed that the journey of the Golden Descendants is not a saga for just a few; we must unite all potential allies—especially heroes like the two of you."

"If we can succeed in the battle against Nicadoli… I'm sure Aglaea won't question anything anymore."

Xia Die whispered nearby, "Sir Bai E… our guests seem a bit weary. Shall we let them return to the Bath Palace to rest for a while?"

Bai E scratched his head sheepishly, "…Ah, I got a bit excited, sorry. Your first day in Weng Falosi has already been long enough. Please be sure to rest well in the Bath Palace. Once you've recharged, I trust Teacher Ti An will return with news from Xuanfengcheng."

After saying that, Bai E left the Creation Vortex with Xia Die.

"I never expected the day to be so dramatic," Dan Heng sighed lightly. "Let's go. With Bai E's guarantee, we can at least rest easy."

Cheng Long's Adventure Chronicle.

Yes! They agreed!

Xiao Yu bounced excitedly on the sofa, fists clenched, and shouted, "Uncle Cheng Long, Uncle Cheng Long! Now Weng Falosi should be fine, right?"

Cheng Long looked at Xiao Yu's hopeful face, smiled and nodded, "Exactly. With their help, the Fire Pursuit Journey should end soon. After all, the Train Group has dealt with even more troublesome envoys, so the Titan isn't the biggest problem."

"Not the biggest problem?" Xiao Yu caught the subtext in Uncle's words and asked curiously, "…Then what is the biggest problem?"

"Of course it's the issue after the Recreation of the World—such as Weng Falosi's integration with the cosmos." Cheng Long lowered his head, thought briefly, and said, "What's most commendable about Weng Falosi is its forging industry, but beyond that its technology is extremely primitive. I fear that once this world connects with the Company, it will be stripped clean. Its mineral resources would be quickly emptied by the Company."

"Then they won't be facing battles—but development. How to catch up with the outside world as fast as possible. How to give their people a better life. Should they focus on tourism or manufacturing? Hmm, this question needs Aglaea to think over carefully…"

Xiao Yu stared at Cheng Long, mouth agape.

"Wait…! Uncle Cheng, you're already pondering such far‑ahead issues? It's like just meeting a girl you like and already wondering what to name her child! Your thinking is like popping champagne halfway through the match!"

"Xiao Yu, you don't get it." Cheng Long looked at her serious face, couldn't help laughing, reached out and ruffled her hair into a mess, "In my view, 'development' for Weng Falosi is no less a challenge than the Fire Pursuit Journey. Now that the Train Group has agreed to join the Fire Pursuit, it's natural to dream about Weng Falosi's future."

After helping March Seven take a photo of the Creation Vortex, the two returned to the room.

Dan Heng recalled the day's events and sighed, "So much has happened."

Xing quietly watched Dan Heng, expression slightly subtle.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"You've said more today than in the first three worlds combined."

"Can't help it, the talkative ones are absent, so someone has to speak up. I'm tired too, so let's keep the review brief."

Xing immediately claimed the softest bed in the room, raised a hand high, "Agreed!"

Dan Heng casually found a chair and sat, "Sensory‑wise, after about twenty system cycles we've grasped Weng Falosi's current state and made contact with locals—a good start. Yet I feel something's hidden beneath the surface… even the Golden Descendants aren't as united as we imagined."

"Is it still possible to back out?"

"Don't take Aglaea's words to heart yet. Her sudden outburst may have another cause." Dan Heng frowned slightly, "…The mysteries are many; we can only confront them fully. After all, pioneering has no standard answer; besides immersing ourselves wholly in this world's cycle, step by step, there seems no other way."

Meanwhile…

Ti Bao looked up at KefaLe and suddenly asked, "…Aglaea, this expedition will go smoothly, right?"

Aglaea whispered, "Do not hesitate, my master. You are the one who interprets the divine edicts for the Golden Descendants; your hesitation will cause others to waver."

"Got it, got it, but right now it's not just you and *us*…" Ti Bao asked worriedly, "Also… Aglaea, actually I want to ask, just now in the vortex, you didn't really intend to… take Dan Heng and Xing…?"

Aglaea answered firmly, "Of course not."

"Ah… that's good."

"Why ask knowingly? If you assume I have murderous intent, you'll certainly intervene."

——

One Punch Man.

Huh… so Aglaea never intended to kill them from the start.

Tong Di exhaled a long breath, thinking that even if Xing's few questions become insincere later, neither side will reach a fire‑merge outcome.

"That's what they say, but who can discern Aglaea's true intent in that situation? I guess once Xia Die gets close, Dan Heng will also transform to survive." Yuanzǐ Wushi said coldly, "However, judging from the attitude of that little girl Ti Bao, the Golden Descendants' overall view of the two pioneers is still decent; they just need Aglaea to play the role of a 'villain.'"

"Not necessarily. That man called Wandi looks very aggressive." Flashy Fleis rested his chin on one hand, "His combat power is high and he seems hard to open up to others; among the Golden Descendants, he and Aglaea are probably the hardest to trust."

"No, such people just don't talk about friendship. The best way to communicate with them is this—" Yuanzǐ Wushi brandished his sword, "Communication through blade and sword often surpasses a thousand words; if they can fight side by side or spar with each other, many of their barriers will quickly dissolve."
