Chapter 1505

~7 min read 1,206 words

"Well, when you were trapped, I went through… many things." Dan Heng looked ahead at the road leading to the Great Tomb, "Fortunately, 'Night Moon' did not intervene. It seems this time, we successfully seized the initiative."

"We must rescue San Yue Qi."

Dan Heng nodded: "Rest assured, no one will abandon her. We will return together to the Train… not one left behind."

"Xilian… where is she?"

"You mean 'Mimi'? Sorry, I haven't encountered her along this journey. I fear those imprisoned by 'Night Moon' are not just you alone."

After learning about the situation of the Train Society outside, the two redirected the topic back to Night Moon.

"In that Memory Tide, she is everywhere…"

"I understand. Her power… is not to be underestimated. Only when I personally stepped into that 'Ages' labyrinth did I suddenly recall…… that I had once met her before." Dan Heng recalled, "When leaving Wengfaluo Si, I unintentionally came into contact with her. Perhaps to avoid exposing her trail, she severed that memory from my mind."

"That power known as 'Oblivion'… is no different from that of an Envoy."

(Oblivion……)

Upon mentioning these two words, Star's mind gradually stirred with fragmented memories: "She planned to make me forget everything…"

Dan Heng: "I know. But now, you still remember me, you remember our companions. Regarding the possibly lost memories, do you have any clues?"

"'Mortals, the flawed, failed heroes'……"

"Is this Night Moon's original words… if I didn't misunderstand, she intends to make you forget Wengfaluo Si, including our journey together with the Golden Bloodline." Dan Heng turned around, looking toward Hai Se Yin who had been caring for him behind, "But it seems you still recognize this lady Hai Se Yin."

Azure Archive.

"As long as all Golden Bloodline members except the Train Society are forgotten, the next cycle will have only three Titans……"

In the Wind Discipline Committee room of Azure Archive, upon realizing Night Moon's purpose in doing this, Asaka's mood became complex for a moment.

On one hand, she also very much hoped Bai E, Aglaea, and Tibao could survive this crisis; on the other hand, she found it hard not to support Night Moon's approach, although her actions were extremely ruthless and decisive, but it is indeed the most rational choice of sacrificing the few to save the many.

One side of the scale is the safety of the entire universe, the other side is life on a planet…… no, they are not even complete lives, but countless electrical signals.

Entrusting this choice to the Company, or to the Family…… they would surely make the same judgment as Night Moon.

Yoriko pondered and lowered her head: "Night Moon's approach seems to be……"

"You can understand it as her turning around to exploit Wengfaluo Si's 'Recreation of the World' mechanism, planting a bug." Asaka paused, her tone gaining a hint of complexity, "Since after Recreation of the World comes the birth of the Iron Tomb, as long as the conditions for Recreation of the World can never be fulfilled, we can conversely restrict the birth of the Iron Tomb…… this is what she calls 'the most perfect Recreation of the World'."

"But so far, her plan has failed." Hina softly sighed, "She seized Star for a period of time, yet Star still remembers the Golden Bloodline…… this shouldn't be……"

"If Xiao Huiyu Er left a deep impression on me, I would naturally be delighted. But I fear, you might escape from the power of 'Oblivion'……" Hai Se Yin turned and looked behind, "Another meritorious one."

"Only to see another golden figure slowly emerge, actually…… Xia Die?!"

"Xia Die? Is it you… who protected me?"

Xia Die bowed and said: "First meeting, or… long time no see, your exaltedness."

"Just now, hauled up together from the vortex depths, there was also this little butterfly fish's memory. Just as the oyster to the pearl…… Senatos's power envelops you, making your soul immune to erosion."

Xia Die: "Miss Xilian and I have repeatedly mentioned you, Star Pavilion. Though in this world we never met, but I believe… there is a warmth that can transcend time. Through the long ages, I have guarded the secret passage of Stikokisia and the vortex heart. When the逆流 of Memory Tide seeps into the Nether River, even if deep in slumber, I can still feel that thread of warmth…… and spare no effort to cherish it."

Having said that, Xia Die again somewhat embarrassedly lowered her head: "This act may be improper, please forgive me, your exaltedness."

"No matter what, you have protected me."

"I know, your exaltedness still has an unfulfilled mission. This journey is perilous, even if your body is confined to the Mire Current, I will do my utmost to guard your path forward."

Hai Se Yin nodded: "The little butterfly fish is correct, there is still a pair of eyes (Zandal) watching in the dark——but we will not give him a chance to approach you two from behind. Move forward, golden dragon fish, and 'Savior', to seek your companions…… to illuminate that lightless 'Long Night'."

"Grateful beyond words. Please accept the Unnamed Guest's promise: Wengfaluo Si, will surely write a brand-new ending for itself."

"Of course, we will write it together."

Hai Se Yin gently gazed at Star: "Little Huiyu Er, advance boldly——my Ocean Current will shield your coming, my song will accompany your departure."

"When I return victorious, I will also give you a Campfire Banquet."

Hai Se Yin smiled knowingly: "Heh… you still remember I like fire and banquets. Then it's settled, you must also find your companions, complete your journey. I will raise a cup awaiting your triumphant return, and then……"

"At that moment of reunion in the Heaven-Earth Boundary Sea, please let me, in the firelight, play a song for you."

Spy x Family.

"Eh eh eh——"

"It's actually Miss Xia Die! Can the power of 'Death' also protect Star's memory? How impressive!" Anya stared wide-eyed, her mouth forming a small circle in surprise.

"Well, even if in the Nether River, Xia Die is playing a至關重要 role; if not for her, there might be no other Golden Bloodline in the next life." Lloyd lifted his gaze toward the front passage leading to the Great Tomb, his eyes slightly沉,"A Great Tomb previously never mentioned by anyone. If built by Wengfaluo Si people, their historical records should have mentioned it."

Yor caught his implied meaning: "Mr. Lloyd's meaning…… the builder of this Great Tomb is someone else?"

Actually, the so-called "someone else" is very clearly指代: if not Wengfaluo Si people, then only Laigushi.

"Well, there are currently two biggest疑點." Lloyd slowly extended two fingers,"First is the owner of the Great Tomb——who exactly is buried here? I feel this Great Tomb is like suddenly popping out of nowhere. Besides Huang Di, could there be no other Golden Bloodline who knows?"

"Could it be that the Golden Bloodline know, but haven't paid attention?" Yor placed a cup of hot tea before her husband,"Some nobles or city-state rulers also build magnificent tombs for themselves, if it's merely a human tomb, of no help to the Fire Seekers, then the Golden Bloodline indeed have no need to pay attention."
