Chapter 503, Question 4
"What exactly do you want to do?" Aglaia struggled with all her might.
But her struggles were like a mayfly trying to shake a tree to the vines—completely futile.
Even if Eve is only one-ninth of the original, her power has reached the level of a Commander. Although Aglaia is a demigod, she is still no match for a Commander.
This is a difference in strength, and moreover, Aglaia is far inferior to Eve in the use of power.
Gold thread has many uses and functions, but it is precisely because of these many functions that its power is dispersed.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," Eve uttered coldly.
“Ms. Aglaia, I understand your actions, and if I were in your position, I would undoubtedly have done the same.”
"But unfortunately, you have misjudged the strength of both sides."
“I can understand your first test as your caution and responsibility towards Ohmma. I can accept such a motive and result.”
"But I can interpret your second probing as a provocation, and you are pushing us to the opposite side."
"Because of the first test, I have already shown my sincerity."
"And in the second test, you showed no sincerity whatsoever."
Eve's words were forceful and logically sound, as clear as a cold computer.
Dan Heng remained silent.
Indeed, if Eve hadn't been there, he and Xing would have been like fish on a chopping board.
"Since you understand my behavior, then I have nothing to explain."
“In terms of etiquette and law, I have indeed been impolite.”
"But now, I cannot die, so please ask."
Aglaia was also a smart person, and she quickly analyzed the situation on the spot.
The woman in front of her possessed absolute power, power that could crush everyone else.
Even if we bring Wan Di and Bai E together, they would probably only be a match for one hand.
In other words, this woman could destroy Ohmma with ease.
So her starting point was wrong.
She did indeed misjudge the strength of the extraterrestrials, confidently believing that the death power emanating from Xia Die would have an effect on them.
Unexpectedly, the aura of death emanating from Xia Die was completely ineffective and was even suppressed by the opponent's aura.
“Okay.” Eve nodded.
"First question."
What is the true purpose of the Golden Descendants?
Aglaia remained silent, and after thinking for a long time, she slowly raised her head.
"To end the end of Onphalus."
The fact that the vines weren't locked tightly meant that Aglaia wasn't lying.
"The second question."
"Why are you so wary of the sky, or rather, the outer heavens?" Eve asked her second question.
"Because, the Titan of the Sky..."
Before Aglaia could finish speaking, the vines suddenly tightened.
The faint red marks on Aglaia's fair skin were so vividly visible.
“It seems you still have a secret you’re unwilling to tell us.” Eve wasn’t angry about it.
"third........"
Before Eve could finish speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly approached.
"Wait! Aglaia!"
"They are not..."
"what?"
Bai E ran over, panting heavily, and when he saw the scene inside the vortex of creation, he was completely stunned.
Wasn't Aglaia supposed to kill Xing and Danheng? How did the situation turn out the other way around?
And who is that white-haired woman standing in front of Aglaia? How come he's never seen her before?
Also, where did Xing go?
Also, why is Xia Die in this white-haired woman's arms? And why does this white-haired woman seem completely unharmed?
What the hell is going on here?
"Bai E?" A hint of surprise flashed in Dan Heng's eyes.
Eve then turned to look at Bai Er.
Although Bai'er was unaware of what had happened, Aglaia was now under control.
He had to take action.
"Gentlemen, I believe there must be some misunderstanding here."
Please don't be so impulsive.
"Sorry, we just..." Dan Heng was stopped by Eve before he could finish speaking.
“Trust is a serious issue.” Eve’s eyes were filled with seriousness.
What do you think, Bai'er?
"You know me?" Bai E was somewhat taken aback.
He never expected that this white-haired woman would recognize him.
“I am Eve, you can also think of me as a star,” Eve said.
"This..." Bai E was even more confused about what had happened.
“In short, I believe Aglaia has no ill intentions; she's only concerned for Ohma's safety. Can we all sit down and talk?” Bai Erjinxian said.
“Xia Die can also testify to this.”
“The purpose of my trip is to find you,” Bai’e continued.
Eve looked down at Xia Die, who was still nestled in her arms.
Xia Die nodded. "Yes, I called Bai E over."
"Actually, I want to save you all," Xia Die said honestly.
Upon hearing Xia Die's words, Eve's heart softened.
She was well aware that Xia Die had no ill intentions towards them from the beginning.
However, he acted this way because he did not understand Aglaia's orders.
"Thank your partner."
Eve waved her hand, and the vines binding Aglaia immediately loosened, releasing Aglaia from within.
Bai'er immediately stepped forward to help Aglaia up.
"Are you alright, Aglaia?" Bai'er asked anxiously.
"I... I'm fine..." Aglaia said, forcing herself to speak.
Being bound by vines was unpleasant; she almost suffocated.
This shows that the woman was truly determined to kill him; if he hadn't told the truth, she would have killed him without hesitation.
What puzzled Aglaia was that this woman, who had just been so cold, was now somewhat warm.
what is this?
"I'm sorry, I doubted you two and questioned your trust..." Aglaia said to Eve and Danheng as soon as she regained her footing.
She knew perfectly well that she was no threat to them at all.
They are capable of destroying Ohmma forever, and even the power of Onpharos.
So what we should do now is not to be suspicious, but to win them over.
If we can get their support, we might actually be able to find all twelve sparks of fire, complete the journey to find the fire, and end Onphalus's doomsday prophecy.
Eve didn't speak, she just looked at her quietly.
Dan Heng, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up, "We understand your actions."
"However, trust is mutual."
Everyone knew that Danheng was trying to smooth things over, and Eve tacitly agreed.
She didn't want things to get too tense with Ohma.
Besides being unfamiliar with the place, there are other factors as well.
It seems that the butterfly unexpectedly activated Eve's hidden attributes.
Eve's heart softened when she saw the little girl in her arms who longed for a hug.
This is God's nature; in other words, the intellectual Eve has gradually come to regard her as one of his own.
"Thank you." Aglaia nodded.
"However, I apologize for my rudeness, I know it is not appropriate for me to stay here right now. I would appreciate it if Bai'e could help me with the mystery hidden in the heart of the vortex."
Aglaia said this on the surface, but in reality she was already exhausted.
Just being entangled by the vines had exhausted her strength.
These vines not only bound her, but also kept draining her power.
She simply didn't have the strength to fight back.
From this, she also realized the threat posed by this woman named Eve.
It is something that demigods cannot contend with, and even Titans are probably powerless against it.
So, in order to avoid further embarrassment, she urgently needs to rest.
“Of course, Aglaia.” Bai Er nodded.
Eve and Danheng, who were standing to the side, remained silent, which also meant that they agreed.
"Thank you..." Aglaia slowly walked away.
At this moment, Bai E stepped forward, looking somewhat anxious.
"What, what exactly is going on?"
“Ms. Aglaia still doesn’t trust us, so she took this action,” Danheng said.
"I guessed it. What I wanted to ask was, you just said you were Xing, how come that's possible?"
Bai E had already guessed pretty much what had just happened; after all, he wasn't stupid.
What he really wanted to figure out was who this woman named Eve was, and why she had just said that Xing was her.
"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Eve, the nameless guest."
“This body is still Xing’s body, but because she fell into a deep sleep, I temporarily took over this body, so her appearance has changed,” Eve explained.
"Pondering? Could it be that Aglaia is interested in you...?"
“No.” Eve shook her head.
"It's fair to say that from the very beginning when we first met, I was the one who took over this body for the most part."
"When I fought you, when I destroyed the body of the Titan of Strife, it was me."
“This…” Bai E was incredulous at this moment.
“That star…”
"Don't worry, Xing and I are both members of the Nameless Ones, Dan Heng knows that."
“I was worried that Xing might encounter danger on her journey, so I took precautions beforehand. Xing is safe now,” Eve continued.
“Yes, I can vouch for that.” Dan Heng nodded from the side.
"That's it..." Bai E finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then, Xia Die…” Bai E’s gaze fell on Xia Die again.
She's still clinging to Eve and won't let go.
“It’s alright, her aura doesn’t affect me,” Eve said.
"Then I'm relieved." Bai E nodded.
"Please apologize again for what happened to Aglaia."
“Aglaia… for Ohma, her heart had long since turned to ice.”
“Perhaps this is what a ‘demigod’ is? Standing among mortals, yet so far removed from them.” Bai E said with some regret.
"A demigod?" Dan Heng asked in confusion.
He had never heard of that word before.
“Ah… another thing that needs explaining. Don’t worry, Onpharos’s deepest secrets are hidden here.” Bai’er scratched his head.
"In short, look up first: that is the twelve phases of the constellations at the heart of creation, which record the journey of the Golden Clan in their pursuit of fire."
Guided by Bai Er, Eve and Dan Heng both looked up and saw the twelve symbols on the cosmic vortex.
Six of the symbols have been lit up.
"The twelve illusory totems correspond to the twelve Titans of Onphalus. And each lit star represents a spark that humanity has returned to its rightful place."
"Six seeds have returned to their rightful place. Have you completed half of your journey?" Dan Heng continued to ask.
Bai E nodded. "This was achieved at the cost of enormous sacrifices made by our predecessors. The Golden Blood's progress encountered tremendous obstacles and stalled for a long time..."
"It was Aglaia and Teacher Tibo who once again gathered the Golden Blood of the world and restarted the journey foretold by the oracle."
"These two are also the only two 'demigods' in the Holy City right now."
"Only two? Shouldn't it be only four?" Dan Heng continued to ask.
“I guess those three red-haired little girls are actually one entity, right?” Eve said.
From the moment she entered Ohmar until she fought against the Titan of Strife's avatar, Eve noticed that the three little ones shared a common aura.
In other words, they were likely originally one entity, but later separated, either voluntarily or out of necessity, due to some event.
Bai'er nodded. "Star... no, Eve is right. Tibo, Tian, and Teacher Tining are three people, but in terms of divinity—they can only be counted as one."
"So what is a 'demigod'?" Dan Heng asked again.
"Of course, I haven't forgotten about this topic."
“In the past, the Titans were the pillars of the world. The revelation the Golden Blood received from the oracle was to shatter these twelve pillars and reconstruct the world's order.”
"The problem lies here. When the old gods fall, someone needs to temporarily lift the broken pillars and fill the vacancies in the divine office until the miracle of creation occurs."
"Otherwise, the world will completely collapse and become a wasteland before the oracle is fulfilled."
“Aglaia and Teacher Tibo have buried their gods. Now they are both human and god, and the bearers of Onpharos’s fate.”
“Titans, the spark, demigods… I see.” Eve seemed to have realized something.
“I remember you were chasing the Titan of 'Discontent'…” Danheng also remembered something.
"So that's what 'the spark that belongs to you' means." He suddenly realized.
"Shooting down Titans, recovering the spark, filling the divine positions—this is the mission of us Golden Blood. I am walking the path they both walked."
"No matter how you describe these twelve Titans, nothing is more intuitive than hearing the whispers of the stars with your own ears."
"Why don't you two step forward and try it yourselves?"
Bai'e led them to the center of the cosmic vortex.
Before that enormous Holy Grail.
"Listen to the voice of the stars."
