Chapter 1534
"The end of legend, the world is a chaos. Then the gods cast down the fire seed, and the Titans were born from the fire."
"In the darkness, countless golden threads spread upward, intertwining and winding in the void. Gradually, those golden threads traced out a silhouette—first the feet connected to the mountain range, then the sturdy legs, then the broad chest and drooping skull."
"KefaLe."
"The four-armed giant who once stood silently upon the earth is now, with golden threads as his pen, redrawing his form in this darkness."
"The black tide of 'Destruction' descends upon the earth, the countdown to doomsday echoes in the distance."
"Yet still, the fire-chasing giants, in the great undertaking of 'Pioneering,' go first."
"However, the heavy darkness engulfed KefaLe, overturning and wrapping him, an ominous red light came from the sky, illuminating the earth. From sky to mountains, rivers, and seas, flames licked the scorched land, thick smoke rolled and rose, obscuring the sky and blocking the sun."
"People drove strange beasts, sang war songs, the mighty army marched forward, waving blades at the dying Titan. Between heaven and earth, only war drums and roars remained, blood and twilight."
"Flow, golden blood. Gather into a scalding river, flowing through the world's divine inscriptions—"

Cheng Long's Adventure.
"Long Shu, do the words of the star chant seem a bit different now?"
The last time Xiao Yu witnessed this scene, it was still the spring water spirits introducing the demigod of Wengfaluo Si to everyone; when they first arrived, they thought this was merely a backward planet.
But now, seeing this scene again, they have already reached the crossroads of cosmic life and death. And this "backward" planet will also become the battlefield where the Envoys slaughter and decide the fate of all life.
"Hn." Cheng Long furrowed his brow slightly, "But what I care most about is the girl reflected in that fragment... Is that Xilian?"
Her face was recognizable at a glance, only she looked... more mature.
"Of course it's Xilian, but she's changed so much... Could it be because she too is a Wu Luo Jing Zi?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but be curious, as San Yue Qi, being a Wu Luo Jing Zi, possesses within her a Night Moon that grasps Envoy-level power; if Xilian also has one...
"Oh! I get it, Long Shu! That Envoy of Memory who has never appeared might just be Xilian's second personality; as long as Xilian awakens her—just as Night Moon does by swapping bodies with her—she could transform!"
"Is that so?" Cheng Long shook his head, "But this also makes no sense at all... That Envoy once issued a 'Divine Revelation' to Xilian in her dream; I'm more inclined to believe Xilian is unaware of her existence—they are in a state of separation."

"The golden-haired woman descended from the sky, golden threads like living things winding and flowing at her fingertips. Tailors arrayed around her, layer upon layer guarding her."
"The 'Golden Cocoon' Aglaea, you must lightly touch the Holy City's net, and listen to the whispers of the stars."
"Tirixibosius weaves through myriad pathways, they giggle, push open a door, then peek out from the other side, their tiny figures bouncing and jumping, as if playing hide-and-seek with the whole world."
"There shall be a triune deity wandering through myriad 'pathways,' bringing you messages from the cosmos."
"The scholar wearing a black eye patch sat alone beneath the ancient tree, a soft light gently drifting toward his palm. 'The Rational' Anatkesagoras, his erudition can refute the world, stirring the waves of awakening."
"The pink-haired girl lay on the slanting tree branch, morning light filtering through the leaves onto her face; she rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up from her drowsiness. 'Go find the maiden who divides dawn and dusk, let the sky become her resting bed.'"
"The bare-chested golden-haired youth roared on the battlefield, his muscles bulging, his fists striking, enemies shattering one after another. A crimson male lion roared behind him, shaking heaven and earth. 'Let him return, 'Divine Punishment Spear' Maidemos, pierce the enemy king with the souls of the blade-wielding heroes.'"
"The hooded cat-eared girl darted through the night, her posture agile as a swallow. She stepped on the eaves and leapt over alleys, moonlight tracing her slender outline. 'Let her stay, 'Flipping Coin' Saili Fa Ya, teach stagnant fate to flow for you.'"
"The River of the Dead flowed silently, shimmering with a faint purple glow. Xia Die stood by the bank, reaching out to lightly touch the bone dragon that could cover the sky and obscure the sun. The great dragon lowered its massive skull, allowing her palm to lightly caress it. 'And there is the 'Grim Gray Hand' Xia Die, mistress of the River of the Dead... she has been granted the right to embrace, warm rebirth... will also bloom at her fingertips.'"
"In the azure depths of the ocean, a girl danced gracefully. The tide followed her spinning and turning, surging beside her, forming one vortex after another, the whole ocean seeming to respond to her steps. 'You will hear the 'Cup of Abundance' echoing in eternity.'"
"In the Hall of the Three Fates of Destiny, the girl holding the black umbrella gazed up at the starry sky, countless white jellyfish surrounding her, until the Star Train dragged its long light trail across her field of vision—"
"You will see the 'Veil of Eternal Night' arrive before dawn."
"In the yellow sands of the earth, the youth in a cloak advanced without hesitation, the earth dragon roaring behind him. 'Until the end of the journey, all life shall go to the utmost of the 'Earth'.'"
"The princess of the Holy City, leaving nothing to chance, placed the golden chess piece without hesitation. And Xing then held the feather brush, facing Zandal together with Mimi."
"And the nameless new king is crowned, together with myriad heroes—"
"To undertake the great work of world's salvation."

Spy x Family.
"Everyone's personal introduction has undergone changes."
Lloyd discovered their introductions had already begun to relate to the 'Cosmos,' and moreover, the introductions had shifted from 'Demigod' to 'God.'
Though he was reluctant to face it, these changes undoubtedly told them: the showdown with the Iron Tomb was drawing ever closer, the life and death of the Cosmos would be decided in that campaign against the false gods.
"Father, when the time comes to fight the Iron Tomb, will we win?" Anya blinked and asked.
"Of course, from the current participating forces, the probability of defeating the Iron Tomb is still quite high." Lloyd looked around—Yor, Yuri, Bond, and the several other households squeezed into the bunker, elders, children, young couples carrying luggage... everyone's faces were written with anxiety and unease.
"This time, the participants are the Xianzhou Alliance, not just one Xianzhou from Luofu, which means... ideally, there will be more than two Hunting Order Envoys taking part." Lloyd said, "Jing Yuan and the Train Team have the deepest bond, he will certainly choose to fight. If the other is General Feixiao... Anya, you can just put your heart at ease."
Saying this, Lloyd gently rubbed Anya's hair; the girl was rubbed until her eyes narrowed, like a kitten being smoothed. Seeing her father so resolute, she also let out a long sigh, burying her face in Bond's warm, fluffy fur.
