Chapter 1533
"Let the gentle 'Sky' protect the world. No more distinctions of high and low, only you, me, and everyone's shared heartfelt wish." Feng Jin walked from behind the crowd.
"Whether 'Rationality' or flaw, I sowed them with my own hands. If anything more must be said—advise future scholars not to put me on a pedestal, but to make use of me." Having spoken, Na Ke Xia also slowly walked forward, his form returning to emptiness.
After Feng Jin and Xing exchanged a glance and shared a knowing smile, as if saying "The teacher is still like this," Aglaea's figure appeared behind them and also came to Xing's side.
"May this newborn dawn keep the world's eyes ever bright. Struggle may be bitter, but 'Romance' never perishes."
Aglaea and Feng Jin vanished, and on the distant mural, two more Fire Seeds were lit.
"In the name of Geerge's son: Warriors shall fight for 'Conflict,' not taking glory as the end, but pressing forward in honor."
"Even if 'Death' will eventually part us, please let every embrace leave no regret."
Wandi and Xia Die slowly appeared, but after hearing their account, familiar Sai Feier's voice came from behind once more.
"All this seriousness? Then I wish for the desert to always have water, fertile soil to always have gold, and everything in the world obtainable through 'Scheme'!"
The runes of the "Disaster Three Titans" were lit.
The Fire Seeds in the sky had already been lit ninefold; Dan Heng, like the Golden Bloodline Members, also came to Xing's side: "The 'Earth' will guard past, present, and future generations, endlessly—"
Having spoken, Dan Heng glanced at San Yue beside him, seeing them all so serious, the girl instantly grew tense and suddenly slumped:
"Is it, is it my turn? Then, let 'Ages' watch over the past and guide the future—"
Xing slowly closed her eyes: "Just like 'Pioneering'."
"This solemnity doesn't suit you, Xing." Bai E's figure suddenly appeared ahead, his voice like sunlight piercing layers of gloom, instantly wrapping several present in warmth.
"Are you hesitating how to fulfill the 'Burden of Worlds' divine authority? Or do you already have the answer in your heart?"
Xing firmly nodded.
"Correct, as long as you move forward, that's enough. In your own way—" Bai E slowly turned, his form gradually dissipating into the air.
"For Wengfaluo Si, bring forth the true dawn."
—
Qin Shi Mingyue.
"Uncle, after they initiate the Recreation of the World, do they become Titans?" Tianming raised his head, his black-and-white eyes full of curiosity.
"Hmm." Gai Nie gazed at the figures of those few in the Sky Curtain, gave a slight nod: "Xing will become KefaLe, bearing the Dawn Machine; Dan Heng will long dwell deep in the Earth, guarding Wengfaluo Si; and San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue... likely will, like Ou Luo Ni Si, reside in the Ming Yun San Xiang Dian?"
"When the Recreation of the World is complete, that will be when Tumu is fully born, then..." Gai Nie did not continue, merely gazing at the brilliant light and shadow in the Sky Curtain, sighing deeply.
"... What will happen?" Seeing Uncle's solemn expression, Tianming felt his heart flutter anxiously.
Gai Nie shook his head: "I fear there will be a fierce battle—victory uncertain."
"But Uncle, with so many Envoys and important figures joining the fight, it shouldn't come to a fierce battle, should it?" Tianming scratched his head, "Tumu is ultimately just an Envoy, though it will instinctively seize the skull of the Erudition Venerate, but it should be stoppable, right?"
"..."
Gai Nie withdrew his gaze from the Sky Curtain, lowered his head to look at the youth's tender face, and asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Tianming, have you heard of the Six Kingdoms' Vertical Alliance?"
"Vertical Alliance?" Tianming only felt it somewhat familiar, having heard the Mohist elders mention it more than once, but he never retained it in mind: "... Several states uniting to attack Qin?"
"Hmm." Gai Nie's gaze swept toward the mountain ranges dyed by the setting sun: "Back when Qin was strongest, the Strategist Su Qin persuaded the six states—Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei—to ally, swearing blood oaths: 'Qin attacks one state, the five others jointly attack it.' Su Qin wore the six states' seals and became the leader of the vertical alliance."
"Isn't that impressive?"
"After the Huishui Alliance, Qin dared not venture beyond Hangu Pass for fifteen years." Gai Nie's tone remained level: "Yet although the six states appeared allied on the surface, internal contradictions piled up, rendering the alliance nominal but hollow, eventually collapsing, and Qin annexed them one by one."
Tianming was stunned.
"Tianming, what I mean is, although now the Xianzhou Alliance, Genius Club, and other galactic powers have joined, they likely each have different demands and interests, and may not truly concentrate their strength. Now, the Xingzhou Train is like Su Qin holding the six states' seals, trying to bind several different forces together—how difficult that is."
"Moreover, the opponent capable of forcing these inherently powerful galactic powers to ally... Tumu, its strength likely differs from past foes. At least, among the opponents the Train Society has previously faced, none have been able to compel these adults to unite."
—
"The twelve totems were lit, and the central '∞' symbol also renewed itself, becoming the current form of Wengfaluo Si."
"In the name of 'Burden of Worlds,' I promise you: KefaLe will never be forgotten."
"Thus, let us all embark on the final great crusade. With me... become heroes!"
"Ru Wo Su Shu" appeared before Xing; she opened her palm, and the book hovered before her, flipping rapidly.
"Turn the page, this nearly 'Eternal' page..."
Xilian, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue, and Dan Heng also joined in, they together extended their hands; twelve Fire Seeds appeared around them, lighting up one by one. Brilliant radiance surged from the Fire Seeds, like streams flowing into the sea, endlessly gathering into the book, opening a brand-new page of "Ru Wo Su Shu"—
"Let 'Pioneering'... write an unprecedented ending."
The '∞' symbol on the mural was instantly lit, as if an eye that had slept for ten million years finally opened, blazing light burst forth, shattering like a mirror—
On every flying fragment, the reflection of "Xilian's" face appeared.
