Chapter 628

"Aya, Bai'e is back!" Tibao flew towards Aglaya.

"We have accomplished our mission, Teacher Tibao. We have no missing limbs or legs, but we have a burning fire in our palms."

"I can sense the temperature of the fire..well done, Bai'e."

"It has been a long time since a new demigod was born in Omphalos. If you can fill the vacancy left by Nicadori, it will be a great encouragement to the citizens of the Holy City." Aglaya said.

Bai Er frowned slightly, his eyes full of sincerity, "I... must be honest with you, I think Wan Di is a more suitable candidate. He was the crown prince of Xuanfeng City and spent most of his life fighting with Nicardoli. He deserves the weight of the word "dispute" more than I do."

Aglaya shook her head gently. "Innocent child, you have considered so many things, but you have forgotten one thing. What you said may be the reason why Medmos is unwilling to take over this fire."

"I don't doubt his strength and qualifications. He must have rehearsed the scene of becoming a god thousands of times in his mind, but the reason he refused is that he doesn't want to lead his people down the same path again."

"So...are you ready, Bai'e of Ai Li Mi Xie?"

"I am ready, both of you. I will bear the weight of godhood with you.. and I am willing to make the necessary sacrifices."

"We've finally waited for this day, Xiaobai. This has always been your wish, right?" Tibao flew to Bai'e and said.

Bai'e nodded slightly, his thoughts seemed to drift back to the past, "Back then, if the oracle hadn't found me... I would definitely still be wandering aimlessly. At this moment, the meaning of my existence is to dedicate everything to the mission of the Golden Race." Bai'e said.

"I never doubted your resolve."

"At the same time tomorrow, the Golden Race will gather at the center of the Creation Vortex to return the Spear of Scourge, the Fire of Nicardoli.

"Remember, this is not the eternal ritual of the priests. No one knows how much a mortal needs to pay to take over the divine power of "Dispute". Your future is still full of variables."

"Use the remaining time to rest well, Bai'e," said Aglaya.

"I see. See you tomorrow then."

...

In a quiet spot in Omphalos, the pool is sparkling and there is a relaxing atmosphere all around.

Sanyueqi and Xing sat together by the pool, looking at the bustling crowd below.

Sanyueqi curled his lips slightly and complained dissatisfiedly, "To be able to enjoy themselves here, the spirit of the Omphalos people is truly unworldly..."

Just then, Bai'e's voice came from behind them.

"It's all thanks to Aglaya and Teacher Tibao. Under their protection, citizens can enjoy peace."

Bai Er looked around and asked, "Where are the enemies?"

Xing turned to look at Bai'e, "He said he was tired and went back to rest."

Bai E nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Mimi beside him, "Without your help, the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable. You must be tired of hearing words of thanks, right? But I still have to... Ah, sorry, but this is probably the first time I say thank you to you? Thank you for your help, Miss Mimi...?" There was a hint of sincere gratitude in his tone.

"What are the plans next?" March 7 asked curiously.

Bai'e's expression became serious. "At this time tomorrow, Aglaiya will summon us to the center of the Creation Vortex to perform the ceremony of returning the fire. Although she only mentioned the "Golden Descendants" in her original words, if I invite you to be there, she will definitely not refuse."

"Is there anything I should be aware of during this ceremony?"

"According to Aglaya, no one can predict what will happen, because each Titan's divine power is unique, so I hope you can be present and bring me some confidence."

Xing's lips curled up slightly, "Come here if you don't oversleep."

Bai E couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, then I will definitely send someone to wake you up." Bai E paused, then asked, "By the way, how is Lin Yu?"

San Yue Qi lowered his head, his tone somewhat depressed, "He is currently receiving treatment, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to come tomorrow..."

Bai E's eyes flashed with worry, "Then... shouldn't we go see him?"

"Xia Die is taking care of Lin Yu. She said she is in danger, so she didn't let us into the medical room."

"So that's how it is... I just didn't expect that Lin Yu... could be immune to Xiadie's abilities..."

"Perhaps... this is why he was able to withstand the blow that flattened the world..."

Bai Er took a deep breath and said, "Have a good rest.. I also need to take some time to sort out my thoughts. See you later, friends."

Xing waved to Bai'e, "Goodbye..."

Sanyueqi looked at Bai'e's departing back, turned around and asked Xing, "What should we do now? We still can't contact Jizi and the others.. Should we go down and look for Liuying..?"

Xing thought for a moment and nodded, "Well... Let's go see Lin Yu again, and then we'll go back and take a look." After that, the two of them got up and walked towards the medical room, their hearts full of concern for Lin Yu and a little uneasiness about the unknown future.

Along the way, both of them were silent, worried about Lin Yu's condition.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the medical room. The door of the medical room was closed tightly, revealing a depressing atmosphere.

Xing knocked on the door gently and called out, "Xiadie, it's us, Xing and Sanyueqi."

After a while, the door slowly opened and Xiadie appeared at the door.

"Xiadie..Linyu..how is he now?"

"He is still unconscious, but his life is out of danger for now."

"The doctors were amazed at his body's ability to recover. Those originally serious injuries were healing at an incredible speed."

A look of worry appeared on her face, "It's just that.. he still has the energy from Nicardoli's attack in his body. That energy is violent and steady, threatening his life at all times. It's very dangerous."

"Can we go in and see him?" Xing asked.

"Yeah..." Xiadie nodded.

The two walked into the medical room with trepidation, and saw Lin Yu lying quietly on the bed. He looked particularly thin, and his body was wrapped in white bandages.

San Yueqi's eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes. She gently walked to Lin Yu's bedside and carefully held his hands. His hands were cold, which made her heart suddenly tighten. "Lin Yu, you must get better soon."

Xing also walked forward and looked at Lin Yu with heartache.

"We are all waiting for you to wake up. There are many things waiting for us to do together..."

Mimi flew lightly beside Lin Yu's face, its little face full of anxiety and worry.

It rubbed Lin Yu's cheek gently with its pink face and wrapped its tail tenderly around Lin Yu's arm. The intimate action seemed to convey strength and warmth to Lin Yu.

At this moment, Lin Yu's fingers suddenly moved.

March 7 and Xing were very surprised.

However, Lin Yu did not open his eyes, but fell into calm again, and the two were a little disappointed.

"Are you going to take care of Lin Yu here? Aglaya just came to me and asked me to come over." Xiadie asked softly, looking back and forth between the two of them.

"Huh? We were originally going to look for Aglaya." March 7 said in surprise.

“But Lin Yu…” March 7’s eyes fell on Lin Yu again, full of worry.

"He is just unconscious now, his life is not in danger." Xiadie explained patiently.

"Then.. let's go.. let Lin Yu have a good rest."

The other two nodded and left the medical room.

As Xiadie's footsteps gradually faded away, silence returned to the medical room.

At this moment, on the cabinet next to Lin Yu's bed, without any warning, a golden petal slowly fell from the air.

The petals emitted a soft light, and they lightly touched the table, making an almost inaudible sound, and then lay there quietly.

...

Xiadie, Sanyueqi and Xing came to Aglaya's room. The room was filled with a faint scent of incense. Soft light came in through the stained glass windows, making the whole room look like a dream.

Aglaya sat upright on the carved chair, Xiadie stood in front of her, looking anxious but trying to remain calm, and told Aglaya about Lin Yu's critical condition in detail.

Aglaya frowned slightly and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers.

After a moment, she slowly spoke, "Lin Yu was enduring the destructive attack energy of Nicardoli. This kind of power is difficult to deal with by ordinary means. Although I have read some related records in ancient books, it will take time and in-depth research to find a way to completely eliminate this energy."

"What's more, that energy has reached a delicate balance point in Lin Yu's body, just like the two ends of a scale. As long as that energy dissipates a little, or increases a little, the scale will instantly lose balance, and the energy will become violent, sweeping through his body, bringing unimaginable consequences."

"What we need to do now is to wait and see. When Lin Yu wakes up, we can make further analysis based on his physical condition. Maybe he can solve this dilemma by himself."

Afterwards, Xiadie discussed Bai'e's affairs with Aglaya.

They talked about the mission that Bai'e was about to undertake, the details of the ceremony of returning the fire, and the unexpected situations that might arise during the ceremony.

After Aglaya and Xiadie finished their conversation, Sanyueqi and Xing looked at each other.

Xing stepped forward, "Aglaiya, we have a request. We want to go to the blocked passage, which is the ladder to heaven."

Upon hearing this, Aglaya looked Xing in the eyes and said, "You want to go down? Tell me the reason."

"The passage has been blocked. If it is opened again, it will cause quite a stir. So, you must give me a good reason."

"We went down... just to find our companions."

Sanyueqi added, "Besides, the underworld is also Omphalos's territory, and it is an area that the Black Tide has never set foot in. Why did you hide the passage?"

"Are you going to hide it from the outside world? We don't have many partners here, and they are all trustworthy people. We promise that we will never tell anyone." She patted her chest with a very determined expression.

"Besides, you can also send some people to the lower realm to hide." Sanyueqi continued, "The current situation is turbulent and the threat of the black tide is always there. Moving some people to the relatively safe lower realm can also be a protective measure."

Aglaya listened to their words quietly and just shook her head slightly, her hair swaying slightly with her movement.

"I've been to the netherworld, and I've also been to the courtyard you mentioned." A trace of memory flashed in her eyes, "There are indeed traces of my life there. The environment and scenery below are indeed beautiful, like a paradise on earth."

She frowned slightly and changed her tone, "But I have also been to the forbidden area you mentioned. I can sense the fire of the 'false god' that was sealed there. It is also an extremely dangerous force. Once released, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Let the residents of the Holy City flee to the netherworld. We don't have the energy to protect them."

"Not only are there those 'false gods', there is also war. I can feel the smoke and corruption in the distance. It is a kind of decayed smell that permeates the air. The shadow of war is gradually approaching."

"So, we cannot let the people in the upper realm know about the existence of the lower realm. This is the same as not letting them know about the outer world."

"Knowing about the outer world, they will yearn for it. The unknown distance will always arouse people's curiosity. Knowing about the underworld, they will rush to the underworld. But they don't know that the underworld looks peaceful, but it is actually full of dangers."

"We don't know if the Titans are aware of the existence of the Netherworld."

"But the netherworld cannot be exposed to the eyes of the world."

"Once the Black Tide is dealt with, the passage between the upper and lower worlds will be opened."

"This is a unanimous decision made by the Golden Race. Every Golden Race has the mission of protecting Omfalos. We must be responsible for the future of this land."

"Aglaiya, we understand your concerns and the seriousness of this matter."

"But we are just looking for companions..."

Aglaya paced back and forth. "Once the passage is opened, the energy fluctuation will be like lighting a fire in the darkness. We have no way of predicting how many unknown dangers will be attracted."

"Those 'false gods' hiding in the dark may have been coveting Omphalos' power. As long as there is a slight chance, they will pounce on him like hungry wolves."

"The situation in the Holy City is already precarious, and the threat of the Black Tide has never dissipated. If the opening of the passage triggers new turmoil and causes some unexpected events, where will the residents of the Holy City go? I cannot let the entire Omphalos fall into an unknown situation just because I meet your request."

Xiadie had been listening silently, and at this moment she couldn't help but speak, "Aglaiya, I...understand your responsibility to Omphalos. The burden on your shoulders is extremely heavy, but Lin Yu also suffered such serious injuries in order to protect this land."

"And his partner just wanted to find a companion..."

"I.. didn't mean to contradict you..."

Aglaya's eyes had been fixed firmly ahead. When she heard Xiadie's words, she slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Xiadie's face.

She looked at Xiadie quietly, and the golden thread captured some subtle emotions.

“Xiadie, could it be that you are...” Aglaya didn’t finish her words, but the deep meaning behind them was self-evident.

"I... don't know..." Xiadie lowered her head in panic, her eyes dodging, not daring to look directly into Aglaya's eyes.

She really couldn't explain her feelings for Lin Yu. It was a complex and subtle feeling. When Lin Yu saved her, she knew that he was immune to her ability. From that moment on, it took root in her heart unknowingly.

Now seeing Lin Yu injured and unconscious, her heart felt like it was being pressed by a huge stone, extremely heavy.

Aglaya looked at Xiadie's panic and sighed softly, "Forget it... I'm not heartless."

"Let Tibao take you there. She can significantly reduce the noise."

"When the passage between the upper and lower worlds was opened, the vibration was earth-shattering, and it was Tibao and the others who stabilized it. With Tibao here, perhaps the risk of opening the passage can be minimized."

"Really? We will definitely be careful!" San Yue Qi said excitedly.

Xiadie also raised her head, "Thank you, Aglaya."

After getting Aglaya's permission, Xing and Sanyueqi hurried to find Tibao with excitement. As for Xiadie...she was left with Aglaya.
