I really don't want to be famous, but the collapse is still chasing me

After Tibao left the dream, she became increasingly uneasy about Ti Ning's situation.

Even at Aglaya's suggestion, Tian was allowed to temporarily relieve himself of his duties as a doorman.

But Tibao thinks it won't have any effect.

She was well aware that she was a doormaker, even if she did it according to Aglaya's method.

In the end, Tian will once again take over the duties of the doorman.

"I think there is still room for maneuver in this matter." Aglaya continued to advise.

"Our souls will wear away and return to dust. That is *our* destiny. Once upon a time, *we* had a complete, connected body. If that body were a tree, then the trunk and branches would wither at the same rate, as fate would have it."

Tibao said with a determined look,

"Now, *we* have split into many selves... Although we have lost the trunk, we have gained a choice... *we* can decide how the branches and leaves decay in the most beneficial way for the journey of chasing fire."

"It's more heartbreaking to watch so many people disappear before your eyes than to say goodbye to just one person."

"But... after all, 'moving forward' is the inevitable outcome of the Titan Trial of the Janus Path. *We* never have a way to retreat."

Don't be sad about saying goodbye to *us* - we already had this agreement, right?"

Aglaya smiled bitterly.

"It won't be long before I can no longer taste sadness."

This sentence also silenced Tibao.

[Still using the knife, or laying the groundwork for the knife?]

[If you ask me, just give me a quick death and kill them all.]

[Ah, right, right, just like in the paradise of the past, just cut them all down with a knife, leaving no one behind.]

【That’s what you said.】

【? ? ? 】

[Where did this strange comment come from again? ]

-

Then Tibao sent Aglaya away on the pretext of having breakfast.

She was also very clear,

"That's true, but nightmares are a bad sign. My memory is getting blurrier and blurrier, even my mother's appearance...

As expected... we still have to go to the Abyss of Fate first. I hope Oronis, the Titan of Ages, will help *us*."

Meanwhile, somewhere in Ohema.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Na Kexia, Bai E immediately got down to business.

He wanted to know everything about the black-robed swordsman who attacked Shenwu Shuting.

At that moment Xia spoke frankly,

"Unfortunately, I know nothing about it. All I can tell you is that it wears a black robe and wields a heavy sword... probably a heavy sword, shaped like a half-distorted sun... and a strange dagger, like a crescent moon."

Upon hearing this description, Bai'er's face immediately darkened.

"By the way, take this—" Na Kexia took out a piece of black cloth that he had obtained when he had a heartfelt conversation with the black-robed swordsman. "It's the spoils of the sneak attack. I give it to you."

Bai E took the black cloth and fell into a long silence.

"No doubt... it's this one. The one who burned down the Aili Secret Pavilion... and killed everyone."

At that moment, Xia noticed Bai'er's bulging veins.

"I advise you not to try to be a hero. I'm afraid no one can match Ohma right now."

Bai Er frowned and asked,

"That Titan, Circe said the same thing?"

"Humph, not at first, but after experiencing its power, I have to admit defeat. Even if I summon a god, I can hardly withstand the opponent's sharp blade..." Xia spread his hands at that moment.

"That incredible power doesn't seem to be a blessing from any Titan."

Bai'er frowned even tighter.

"You wish to claim... that it came from outside of Omphalos?"

"It's possible. It's just like the Black Tide, isn't it?"

"That's the enemy we have to defeat, no matter what."

"We?" Xia met Bai'e's gaze. "Don't let your imagination run wild, Bai'e. No one wants to see you die under its sword."

"As long as that guy exists, he will threaten the Holy City and the Fire Chaser's journey."

"You know I don't believe—"

At that moment, Xia was interrupted by Bai E before he could finish his words.

"I know you don't believe in the so-called oracle. But I come to you for help, not because of the order of Aglaya or Tibao...

I only wish to rid the city-state I have sworn to protect of a single threat, nothing more. The tragedy of the Tree Courtyard must not be repeated."

At that moment Xia sighed softly and pointed to the table and chairs beside him.

"Please sit down. Since you are so sincere in asking for advice... then I will tell you one more thing."

-

Soon after, fate fell into an abyss.

This is the place where Qiong harvested Mimi.

Tibao, Tian, ​​and Tianning, the three little ones walked slowly forward.

"Woo..." Tian held his forehead.

Tibao asked with concern, "What's wrong, Tian?"

"Nothing! I just... thought about Shu Ting again. The monster in the black cloak was very scary. Everyone was in danger... I had nightmares that I can't forget." Tian replied weakly.

[Alas, first I set the stage for you, saying that even with the power of a Titan you can't win, and now the three little ones are walking around like nothing happened, with no one around.]

[This is the first time I've felt that the Pioneers are so reliable. If anyone from Xingqiong were here...]

[After being told that, even if I was at Firefly, I would still be stabbed? ]

【Isn't Firefly still alive?】

[Look at Tian'an's voice. It's almost like Tianning's. Besides, she has a hard time speaking complete sentences.]

【I really can’t stand it! 】

-

"Be good...there are no bad people here." Tibao touched Tian's head.

"Tian, ​​didn't you protect everyone with the Hundred Realms Gate?"

Tian nodded vigorously. "Tian, ​​throw it far away. So far away that it will never come back."

Stop raising the flag.

I feel full.

In order to restore their memories and fulfill their promise to Craterus, Tibao and the other two decided to find Saffron and meet with Oronis.

Everyone searched in the temple.

However, Oronis's warning appeared in front of Tibao.

Tibao communicated with Tinin and believed that this meant that Oronis did not welcome the three of them.

But at this moment.

Tian asked with a smile from behind the two of them, "Tibao, Ti Ning, what are you whispering about?"

Tibao's pupils suddenly shook.

She discovered that Tian could no longer sense even the most basic psychological perception.

I could only sigh helplessly.

In the subsequent plot, Tibao and the other two have been searching for "Saffron Core".

However, during this process, Oronis's warnings continued to appear.

In the end, there was really no other way but to try to convince Oronis directly.

After all, He did not drive the three people away directly.

"I feel like there's something wrong. I don't remember it being like this when I was trying to make things difficult for Qiong before."

[Is it possible that Oronis is actually warning Tibao and the others not to go any further?]

[Indeed, the previous part has been laying the groundwork for the Black Robe Swordsman. I feel like he should have been waiting for the three of them.]

-

Suddenly, the camera turned.

Back to the conversation between Bai'e and Na Kexia.

"You're saying... this black-robed swordsman is not only connected to the Black Tide, but is also hunting for fire?"

Bai E looked at Na Ke Xia in shock.

Xia nodded and began to give his reasons, "This conjecture is the most likely. First, it holds the container of fire; second, I am also one of its targets.

First, let's talk about the first argument: its strangely shaped "ritual sword" can interact with fire—the gravitational pull when it pierced my chest was proof of that. I speculate that the sword has the ability to sense, absorb... even contain fire.

The second argument is more direct: during the earlier melee, although it was distracted for a while, it was always staring at me, or rather, at the Circe in me."

"Huh!" Bai'e slammed the table hard. "So it's a fire thief... But if it's as you said, won't it be heading for Ohma soon? The core of the Creation Vortex is filled with the Titans' fire."

"Not necessarily." Xia began to speak out his own inference.

"Let's call this person the 'Fire Thief' for now. Assuming our hypothesis is correct, this person has three targets."

The first is myself; the second is Oronis, who has not yet fallen; the third is Ohma, who keeps the fire of the gods and the core of creation.

However, I suspect Ohma wouldn't be the first choice. Kephale's fire is controlled by the Senate's secret methods, and Fajina's water curtain should be enough to block any outside influence.

Bai'e then asked, "What about Senatos and Aigle? Their flames haven't returned to their original places yet..."

Na Kexia shook his head indifferently, "The whereabouts of Senatos remain a mystery, no one knows where it is. As for Aigle... can you fly?"

[I guess there is a comment here: Why do birds fly? ]

Why do birds fly?

[Wait a minute, the Starry Sky Train can fly! Could it be? Flying on the train?]

[Who is repairing the carriage? Can Jizi come over here?]

[Forget it. Shaking it over here is definitely not good!]

-

"No. Why ask this?" Bai E immediately denied it.

Xia then asked back, "Can that swordsman fly?"

"Ah, that's true. But what if it grows wings under its ribs..."

"If it had wings, I would never have returned alive from the tree garden."

"That's a blessing. Well, since the Fire Thief has two possible targets, we need to speed up our actions..."

At that moment Xia touched his chin,

"Considering the distances between Ohma, Shuting, and these target locations, I think the most important defense is..."

at this time.

Dan Heng hurried to Bai'e's side.

"Oh no! Bai'e—Tibao is missing! The last time they were seen was in... the Abyss of Destiny!"

-

at the same time.

The fate is deep.

Tian put her hands on her hips and shouted into the air, "Oronis—are you here—?"

Ti Ning lowered her head silently, "No response..."

"Did he sense *our* coming and hide in the fog? Or…"

At this moment, Ti Ning was suddenly startled.

"Tibao... I'm afraid *we* have to leave. There are other people... in this temple."

"what?!"

Tibao was shocked, but Tian did not react at all and was still looking for Oronis.

"Listen—footsteps, very hurried, there are three or four people, rushing this way. Find a place to hide first. No matter who they are, *we* can't be seen."

"Tibao, Ti Ning... come and take a look." Ti An grabbed a piece of torn black cloth.

"What is this? I feel like...Tian has seen this somewhere before?"

Suddenly.

The black-robed swordsman descended from the sky and knocked the three people away.

Taking advantage of this gap, he instantly summoned four clones and headed towards the three people.

Tian looked at Tianing who was supporting Tibao who had fallen into a coma.

Facing the black-robed swordsman who was gradually approaching.

At the cost of exhausting his divine power, Tian forcibly opened another Hundred Worlds Gate, successfully restricting the black-robed swordsman's movements, "Fly..."

"Tian?!"

Then, she opened the second Hundred Worlds Gate again, behind Tibao and Tining.

Tibao slowly turned around and smiled, "Tibao...see you tomorrow."

【Ah ah ah ah ah! 】

【No! ! ! 】

[You have no heart, Mihoyo, you have no heart! ]

[How could you possibly have the heart to lay hands on a little girl like this? I feel like you're not a human being!]

[I've said before that Tian can only be opened twice at most. Now it's completely hot! ]

[Actually, it was the first one who realized he wasn't strong enough to teleport the black-robed swordsman away. After all, he was relying on the power of Xia Die at the time.]

[Then why didn't Tian just teleport away? ]

[First, the speed of opening the door and the speed of the black-robed swordsman, can you guarantee that Tian's speed is faster than the black-robed swordsman? Second, Tian forgot.]

【Tian, ​​see you tomorrow! 】

[Just wait, black-robed swordsman! Just wait! I truly don't have the slightest sympathy for a villain like you.]

[The black-robed swordsman is not that simple, so don't be too confident.]

[Forget it, forget it, why say so much? Just scold Mihoyo directly, it's all the screenwriter's fault anyway!]

【really!】

[Not necessarily. What if Tian is still alive? ]

To be honest, if I were still alive, I'd actually look down on Mihoyo. After laying the groundwork for so long, if you don't make a move, it would be a shame to lay the groundwork for Mihoyo.

-

After a while, fate fell into an abyss.

"Well……"

Tibao slowly opened his eyes, "This is..."

What came into view were Dan Heng, Qiong, Bai E, Feng Jin, and Ti Ning.

However, they all had frowns and sad expressions.

"Little Gray, Little White? And..."

"Wait...where's Tian? Is she back?"

Bai E sighed deeply, "When we arrived, we only saw two people lying on the side of the road..."

Feng Jin then added, "Dan Bao and I also searched the area... but we couldn't find any trace of Lord Tian."

Tining asked, "Where is the swordsman in black robe?"

Hearing the name, Bai'e gritted his teeth. "Damn it! It's that guy indeed. We're still a step too late. Oronis's spark... I'm afraid it's already met with an accident."

"Then, Master Tian..."

Tibao gave a bitter laugh, "Her divine power is running low. Now... her perception is minimal."

Qiong gnashed with hatred, "We must chase after that black-robed swordsman."

Bai E nodded. "It's a blessing in disguise that the two teachers are safe. Everyone, we should set off immediately and split into two groups: one team will stay in Chongyuan, while the other will join Aglaya's reinforcements to search for Teacher Tian's whereabouts."

The other team will follow me to hunt down the black-clad swordsman and take back the spark."
