Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

[Bai Er: Because we are of the Golden Clan.]

[Amber: But none of the people in the video know that Miss Sephiroth is gone. Where could the embers be hidden?]

[Zhongli: In dire straits, hope is more precious than anything else.]

[Vivian: We will never see her cynical expression again, just as the Dawn Machine has fallen into eternal darkness.]

[Wan Di: I remember Sai Fei'er once gave Teacher Tibo a letter with the message: Open it after dark.]

[Star: Could it be...?]

[Bartleus: Hehehe.]

[Jing Yuan: The unwavering trust among the Golden Descendants, to the point of entrusting each other with life and death, is truly enviable.]

[Yanqing: General...]

"I understand." Dan Heng thought of his companions on the Starry Sky Train and felt the same way.

"At least, to this day... I don't recall any Golden Blood who participated in the Fire Chase failing in their mission."

Bai E nodded slightly and smiled, "She certainly won't be an exception."

Just as the group was about to leave, Katniss attracted a large number of Black Tide Creatures, seemingly wanting to perish together with them.

Looking at the lifeless, kneeling Kaines, Bai'er couldn't help but sigh, "The Cleanser, for a goal that has remained unchanged for a thousand years, is willing to use forbidden techniques to maintain his identity and memories for a thousand years... This is probably a kind of twisted tenacity to the extreme, isn't it?"

"Let's go... it's time to leave this place."

Mimi looked nervous. "Everyone, can we run faster?"

"I have a... bad feeling about this!"

A familiar figure stood on the steps, looking down from above.

Dan Heng: "The Fire Thief..."

"So...it's finally here." Bai E stared at the other person.

"Now is not the time to linger in the fight..."

Bai E looked at Xing, "I agree..."

“I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to confront it head-on… but not now. If we get bogged down here and then lose… the consequences will be irreversible.”

"Let's go...we must get out of here—"

"Run all the way... and never look back!"

[Saifei: How is this possible? It was just a moment ago in Stikosia, far away from Ohma. How much time has passed? Could the Fire Thief really have the same Hundred Realms Gate as Sister Tibo?]

[The Fire Thief: Initiating...Reincarnation...]

[Star: What exactly are you trying to express, all this halting and fragmented?]

[Bell: The Human-Machine Walker.]

The longsword ignited with dark purple flames, and the Fire Thief's figure flickered.

Bai'e and the others turned and ran, heading towards the Janus Secret Path, which was not far away, to cross the Lake of the Gods.

Passing by surviving citizens.

"Retreat to the temple! Protect your families and friends!"

"The chaos will end soon... I assure you!"

After saying that, the group continued down the mountain. The Fire Thief's purpose was clear: those citizens were not within its hunting range.

The space ripples.

The Fire Thief, wielding a longsword, appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"...!" Bai E slammed on the brakes.

Dan Heng asked in surprise, "How did it..."

The Fire Thief suddenly spoke: "Twilight... has arrived as promised..."

"The sky... has returned to its rightful place..."

"This world... must... be restarted..."

Bai E's gaze was intense. "Is the destination you're searching for... also a miracle of creation?"

"If that's the case, then you should be standing beside the Golden Clan! Why are you hindering us, Fire Thief?"

The Fire-Stealing Walker repeated, "Dusk... has arrived as promised..."

"We must...restart..."

Bai E's gaze swept over Xing and Dan Heng. "Words are useless... then we can only express our determination through the blade."

"We bear the weight of too many people's fates and futures on our shoulders..."

"We... will absolutely not fall here!"

[Magic trick: Something's not right. From the Fire-Stealing Walker's fragmented words, it's not hard to guess that it knew the truth about Onphalus's rebirth beforehand. Perhaps it's trying to convey a message to us.]

[The Fire Thief: Reincarnation...A Hero Descends...]

[Yanqing: I don't understand at all.]

[Star: Never mind. Even if it wants to convey important information, the hunting of the Golden Blood is real. We can't pin our hopes on the unknown.]

[Lagushi: It's all in vain.]

The Fire Thief changed his form, and several gray phantoms flew towards the group, swords flashing.

While Bai E and Dan Heng were fighting the clone, the true form of the Fire Thief descended from the sky and slashed down. Xing, holding the Flame Spear, resisted, but the powerful impact instantly knocked her back.

The sound of swords rang out, and the Fire Thief flashed behind Straight Star.

The ground shattered, and the demigod Wan Di, who was the source of all conflict, made a powerful appearance, instantly shattering his clones and raising his hand to block its blade.

He turned around and shouted, "Leave this place to me and Xia Die."

With a roar, the iron fist gathered the power of the strife and slammed into the Fire Thief, forcing him back.

Just as the Fire Thief was about to move forward, he saw the dense aura of death beneath his feet transform into tentacles that tightly bound him, rendering him unable to move for a moment.

Bai'e, wielding Qin Chen, prepared to strike, when Ti Bao's voice came from behind: "Little Bai, over here!"

Tibo waved to the group, with the Hundred Realms Gate already set up beside her.

The Fire Thief resumed his movements, and Wan Di turned around, waved his hand, and shouted angrily, "Go!"

Bai E paused, then immediately turned and stepped into the Hundred Realms Gate with the two. He understood that Wan Di and Xia Die were buying him time; the Fire Thief was far more troublesome than Aigeler.

[Fufu: The perfect savior, Wan Di! Wan Di always comes to the rescue at crucial moments, providing a sense of security.]

[Billy: So handsome! He's unbeatable!]

[Bai E: Thanks, good brother. I never expected we'd meet like this after you went to the edge of the cliff.]

[Wan Di: Ohmar has already been invaded by the Black Tide, so I don't need to stay at the Peak. Savior, our time is running out. Inherit the World-Burning Flame as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen events.]

[Star: Xia Die, you never miss a day.]

[Xia Die: I apologize, Your Excellency. Unable to leave the Underworld, I can only assist you from the sidelines.]

[Fireworks: The savior saves the world, and all enemies save the savior.]

[Saifeier: Sister Tibao, I'm afraid you don't have much Hundred Realms Gate energy left in your body.]

[Tibao: It's okay, we still have Tining. We'll definitely hold on until the end of the Fire Chase.]

Chapter 482 Dan Heng: Drinking the Moon

Crossing the Gate of a Hundred Realms, the group arrived at the Garden of Life.

Mimi breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, that was close..."

“It’s far from time to relax.” Bai’er said with a solemn expression, “That Fire Thief is proficient in all kinds of trickery, and even Wan’e might not be able to restrict its movements.”

He looked regretful. "I never thought I would leave him alone on the battlefield twice... but now is not the time to think about that."

Dan Heng looked around. "Tibao didn't come along... Is she planning to stay on the upper levels to help Wan Di?"

Head to the lower level of the Marble Palace.

Thanks to the protection of the Wind Violet, most of the citizens of Ohma are kept within the rainbow barrier, preventing the Black Tide Creatures from getting close.

"Hattornus!" Beer rushed over.

"Hattonus! Hold on!"

Hattonus, battered and bruised, knelt on the ground. Hearing Bai'er's cry, he looked up, "Ah... return, Bai'er..."

"The holy city... is burning. The struggle... I have done my best."

Bai'er examined the injuries. "At your age, you're no longer fit to go to the front lines. Master Craftsman... what about the citizens? How's the situation at Marble Market?"

"Escape... The Holy City Guardians are organizing. But... where to escape to, no one knows..."

"A rainbow-colored barrier descended from the sky. It protected people... but could not eradicate the fear."

Bai'er frowned, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I'm afraid this is the end of Onpharos, Hatonus. There is only one way to save our homeland..."

As one of the oldest people in Ohma, Hatonus instantly knew, "Ah...it will all come true, the divine message from the Father..."

"Go...miracles, go create. Saviors...go become."

"One more thing..."

“The heart of creation… Lady Tinin is waiting. The spark of Cephale is safe…” she said.

It was too late. The Black Tide Creatures swept in again. Hattonus struggled to his feet and swung his giant iron hammer at the monster.

"Emergency... situation. Leave it to me... monster."

Bai E couldn't bear it, "But..."

“I am already dead… I should have… allowed myself to linger… with the power of the rainbow light. But since death is inevitable… there is no escaping it…”

Why not... leave behind glory?

Bai'e's heart trembled. "You have spent your whole life forging glory, old friend. For others, and for yourself. May you live a life free from war in the new world."

"Goodbye, Master Craftsman."

He turned away, filled with grief and the hopes of everyone, and said, "Let's go...to the Golden Baths!"

Hatonus looked at the numerous Black Tide creations, "Not... born for battle, these hands..."

"But, if the Holy City's future must be protected by it..."

"To the very last moment...I will fight to the very end!"

[Nicole: No, Hatonus even uses a knife! The apocalypse of Onphalus is so hopeless; compared to that, our Void is at least alive.]

[All-Enemy: Farewell, Hattonus.]

Hattonus: It is an honor... I fought to the very end... for the Holy City.

[Navia: Thank goodness for the protection of the Wind Violet, otherwise Ohma would probably have suffered nearly half its casualties.]

[Hanabi: Alas, those who bear the weight of the world, when the things you cherish leave you one by one, what is left with you in the end... hatred? Rage?]

[The robin: How desperate! The world he loved, the people, and his companions were gradually heading towards destruction in his eyes.]

[Jepard: Hattonus, the glory of the mountain people... steadfast and strong.]

[Rin: Brother, I feel suffocated by this oppressive atmosphere. If I put myself in their shoes, and all my friends left one by one, how desperate and helpless I would feel.]

[Danheng: So, the gift Miss Sephiroth gave Tibor was the spark of the Kevlar?]

[Sai Fei'er: Haha, take your time to figure it out.]

[Star: Partner, you're like a completely different person since the day I met you.]

[Bai Er: This is the price of growing up.]

The perspective shifts to Bai E's side.

"Hattonus said that Teacher Tinin has news of the spark—"
