Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 494 Treasure: Let's Go Big

What experiments Xia conducted under Kefal's divine body was unknown even to Jinzhi.

But he was at the Senate, and he even brought Xia Die along...

That only proves that the Senate has absolutely no chance of turning the tide this time.

That summer truly disliked Aglaia and harbored doubts about the elusive journey of chasing fire...

But that doesn’t mean that Xia looked down on the incompetent and noisy parasites in the Senate.

This group of people doesn't even deserve his attention.

But now that we're on the other side, let's at least ask him what he thinks first.

Yun Zhi watched that moment with great interest:

What are your thoughts?

At that moment, Xia shrugged and replied, "I think my presence here is quite obvious—you already know that I've always opposed the Fire Chasing Journey."

But Xia would never help the Senate harm the savior. Compared to those brainless idiots, the scholars, though they might go crazy at any time, are indeed clear-headed.

"You're more clear-headed than they are."

Yun Zhi crossed his arms and stared at Xia Ke: "You should know that you don't need to do these things. After all, it's an answer that 'you' have proven thousands and thousands of times."

His words were so cryptic that no one could understand what kind of riddle he was trying to solve.

Only these two people knew that these words contained the afterimage of countless cycles of reincarnation. Those countless similar endings had been superimposed a million times in Onphalus, this tragic testing ground, with each layer bearing the same answer.

Therefore, Yunzhi did not understand why Xia was still standing on the side of the Senate at that moment.

"You're right, that's an answer we already know."

Xia paused for a moment:

"But before you do that, I should do something for Onfaros too."

At that moment, Xia seemed to glance at Bai E.

Upon hearing this, the warmth in Yun Zhi's eyes vanished almost instantly, and her usually gentle expression turned sharp and dangerous in a flash.

Wow...

Are they coming for me?

"oops……"

Yunzhi's tone became lighter:

"What a good teacher... But what does this have to do with you siding with the Senate?"

Yun tilted her head slightly, seemingly puzzled: "Aren't you underestimating me?"

At this moment, I suddenly feel a little regretful for giving that girl Xia Sai so many cycles of data.

At that moment, Xia, neither humble nor arrogant, stepped forward and met Yun's gaze:

"What you want to do today is nothing more than 'that thing,' and you want to take this opportunity to seize control of the entire Onphalus."

Yun nodded indifferently: "Yes, I see your Senate is quite welcoming of me, isn't it?"

Xia didn't continue talking to Yunzhi at that moment; he turned to look at the councilors in the hall:

"Citizens."

"In this solemn holy city, under the protection of the Father Cephalus, in this never-ending dawn, most people spend a happy life."

However, in the cycle of his memories, the Dawn Machine would always go out at the last moment, and without the protection of the Dawn, Ohma quickly fell and was overwhelmed by the monsters of the Black Tide.

Even though Aglaia protected Ohma with gold thread, it was still a drop in the ocean.

The fire-stealers stormed into Ohma and wreaked havoc, leaving the holy city littered with corpses.

The extraterrestrial visitors, who never concealed their ambitions, had been quietly doing nothing, just waiting for the citizens' assembly. What does this mean?

This shows that Yunzhi had decided from the very beginning that he would step over this city and these people to ascend the throne of Onphalus.

"We never considered what we would do if the Dawn Machines went out..."

Katniss abruptly interrupted Naksha's words:

"There is no need to worry at all. The Father's grace is eternal, as the High Priest Atticus himself said."

Of course, they didn't dare to think about it.

Preferring to indulge in a false sense of prosperity rather than open one's eyes to the imminent crisis, and indulging in daydreams rather than addressing problems, is probably a common failing among many politicians.

At that moment, Xia completely ignored Katniss. He raised his head and looked at the massive Cephalon divine body behind him—or more precisely, at the Dawn Machine:

"Legend has it that the Dawn Machine was given to Kephale by Eger. When the Black Tide swept through Onphalos, Eger closed his eyes and abandoned the world in eternal night, while Kephale carried the dawn, which is why we see the light we see today."

"The high priest once told us that the blessings of Cephalus would surround the holy city forever..."

"And I, Anaxagoras, conducted an experiment under Cephalus's divine body three days ago, and I know how to perpetuate the light."

The two sentences seem disjointed; one says the dawn is inextinguishable, and the other suddenly says it can prolong the light…

A long passage seems to be missing here.

At this moment, the Senate's presence instantly became minimal.

Because at that moment, Xia and Yunzhi seemed to have formed a strange space. Both of them knew what the other was saying. Under this open-air square, everyone was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, but they heard every word without missing a single one of the contents, yet no one knew what kind of riddle they were talking about.

Xing looked left and right, and couldn't help but sigh – Xia Hezhi was really amazing at that moment, instantly isolating everyone.

Even Aglaia was starting to get confused.

These two are incredibly dangerous, and although Aglaia has been monitoring them, she can't read minds, and with the Senate interfering, she's finding it somewhat difficult to keep up.

Amidst the whispers of those around him, Yunzhi's voice slowly rang out:

"Having talked to you so many times, I really can't tell when you started preparing."

To continue the light?

Putting everything else aside... Xia might actually be able to do it. After all, from Yun Zhi's perspective, this scholar is capable of competing with those in the Genius Club. It's just that his living environment limits his vision, not to mention the presence of an administrator causing trouble...

Otherwise, the learned gentleman might be happy to give him a glance through the firewall of his scepter.

"So? You want to stop me?"

"..."

At that moment, Xia let out a soft sigh:

"I cannot deny that you want to save Onphalus, but I also cannot ignore what you want to do. You can expose lies, you can bring about the harbinger of eternal night, but you should not pave your path to kingship with despair."

Yunzhi:………………

What is this saying?

Yun Zhi felt that she was about to lose control of her facial expressions.

What was Xia saying at that moment?

His plan wasn't exactly a top-tier intellectual battle; it was enough to deal with Ohmma and his group of overprotected idiots.

At that moment, Xia's every word was a reminder to Yunzhi, but not a single one punctured this illusory bubble.

What does he mean? Yunzhi is already here, everything is ready, and it's the final step. Does Nashi Xia really think that he can stop him by saying these two sentences?

"You say you can continue the light; why don't you tell me what you plan to do?"

Yunzhi's gaze fell on the scholar.

In just a moment, he looked away:

"No, you'd better just show me how to do it."

The next moment, Yun Zhi's voice suddenly rose, resounding throughout the entire venue:

"The Senate says that the Golden Age will reappear when the three Titans of Calamity fall, but I disagree."

"As pillars of the world, every Titan is equally important."

"Besides..."

Yun Zhi revealed a cruel smile:

"Cephale's Dawn Machine was originally only meant to burn for three hundred years, but because of a lie told by the demigod of [Trickery], it has been extended for a thousand years."

"You've stolen light for over seven hundred years under the protection of the demigod [Trickery], and now you want [Trickery] to perish?"

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
