Live Q&A: I am the Star God of Heaven

Chapter 945 Flower Wine, Filling the Hollow Trunk 4

Xing couldn't believe it after hearing this: "You... killed her!... Why?"

Heatherin: "The reason... needs no elaboration. A fish in this small pond cannot resist the turbulent tide of fate. I wandered along the shore until I finally found a flame, which I snuffed out with my own hands...

I don't understand. If the ocean's feast, Caesar's vision, and Omphalos's existence are all false... then what is the point of our journey? When the savior returns, let this ridiculous party end.

But, Gray Fish, I still can't help but think... How I wish this fire-chasing feast... would never end."

After saying this, Heiseyin turned into particles of light and disappeared, and the shadow of Lygus, who had been mute until then, appeared again.

Lygus: "It seems that she has also noticed your visit, and the foundation of the illusion has begun to shake... Let's go back to the prologue and the question about the allegory of the cave. Can the prisoners in the cave recognize the projections and echoes instead of mistaking them for the real world?

As you can see, when she was freed from her chains and finally able to look around, she was only struck by intense pain... She would be blinded by the light because the fire behind her had never directly shone into her eyes, and her legs would feel incredibly heavy because she had never learned to take a step forward.

Then, she fell into endless confusion and fear, convinced that projections and echoes were the real world. And are we in the galaxy really more lucid than she is? Now, nameless people, lifeless people, please think about it...

Is the fate you've walked, the Star God you believe in—everything you've forged with your own hands—merely a shadow cast by others? Let's leave this question to the end. When you have fully grasped the truth and reached the prison the demigods have set for me, I will discuss this with you face to face...

As a spectator of divine rites, I have walked through the thirty million lifetimes that Kaeslan carries on his back—a thousand years of time, in my eyes, is but a particle in the sand. And Omphalos, to the Milky Way, is but a grain of sand on a long beach.

I have vowed to bring an end to intellect, so how could I allow my mind to be worn away by a single particle? Now, use the power of time to open the door to the seabed and seek the warden, tortured by loyalty. Find her, step into the vortex of the world, and put an end to all the grievances between you and me.

That palace reflects the ocean demigod's state of mind, intoxicated and sluggish. There, you will also witness the true beginning of the epic of salvation... that ugly history, washed away and obscured by the ocean currents - Caesar used the name of conquest to perform blood sacrifices, and forged the long stairway to the gods with the golden blood of 500 people.

Starry Sky Railway Bai'e: "You speak better than you sing. You're talking so much, and you're just trying to mislead your partner into giving up Chasing Fire. It's hilarious."

Honkai Impact 3rd Otto: "Although his language skills have indeed improved, you also have to make sure you know who you are talking to. Can they understand what you are saying?"

Genshin Zhongli Yu: "Indeed, with Xing's wisdom, it would be difficult to understand his problem."

Star Railway Pioneer Xing: "That's right, that's right. You never thought of that, did you? I'm completely immune to what you said, hahahahahaha!"

Lai Gushi from the Undead Space: "...I really didn't expect it."

The starry sky used the power of time to reverse the flow of the stone pillars in the pool in front of her, and the water level receded, and a stone door appeared in front of her.

Xing: "Behind this door is the road leading to the heart of the vortex of creation..."

As Xing walked forward, Gushi's voice echoed in his ears: "Now, leave this false banquet - and then, step onto that bloody stage."

After taking the elevator downstairs, Xingkong saw that there were still many people here.

Lygus: "The palace dedicated to the ocean, the sanctuary connected to the vortex, is also the battlefield of the first fire chase..."

Xing looked at the slow movements of the people around him and said, "Time seems to be slowing down... When will the slow motion function be added?"

"Her voice made the years stop here, imprisoning my body and avoiding the wear and tear of my soul - just to wait for your return. The disordered time and space reflect her confusion - and also cover up Caesar's crimes."

Xing broke the slow passage of time, the scene changed instantly, and the monsters of the Black Tide and the fighting people appeared in front of Xing.

At this time, Virginia protected Apollonius, who was seriously injured and dying.

Virginia: "You, you stay away from Apollonius..."

Siren: "A cup filled with honey... so fragrant..."

Apollonius advised: "Run...Virginia"

"Yishijue... we can't give up here!"

Virginia was unwilling to leave and insisted on standing in front of Apollonius. The siren's voice continued to echo: "Love immersed in death... How delicious..."

When Xing saw this, he immediately stepped forward to help in the battle.

Aglaia of the Star Dome Railway: "It's Apollonius and Virginia. They're in a very bad situation."

Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "This is the echo of past history. What Xing is experiencing now is something that happened long ago."

"Even if it's just the echo of history, even if it's in vain, we can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

After Xing killed the monsters, Apollonius and Virginia collapsed to the ground.

Virginia: "Apollonius... you see... I drove the enemy away... but... I may... be unable to move forward..."

Apollonius: "I'm sorry...Virginia, for making you..."

"It doesn't matter... I'm very happy to die beside you..."

Xing was lamenting this sad scene, but Lygus said, "Ah, this ironic fate... Even though the foundations of the world have long been shaken, the ruthless Caesar still made the same decision as in the past 30 million lives—"

On the first Fire Chaser journey, the Fire Chaser's army invaded Styxia. Tens of thousands of sirens emerged from the River Styx, rushing towards the heroes like a giant wave... The hell before you is a re-enactment of that battle."

Xing ignored Lai Gu Shi and continued to look at the two of them.

Virginia: "There is a letter... that I have never been able to give you... Let me read it to you... It is the last poem I wrote..."

Virginia looked at Apollonius lying on the ground in front of her and said slowly:

"The shadow of the tree against the wise man's back is like a huge stone bearing the rings of time...

The birds' songs are like the sound of wind through the forest, but they cannot escape his jagged cracks...

His weight... crushed the bird's wings... and its beating heart..."

After hearing this, the dying Apollonius smiled and said, "I've always wanted to say... the way you recite poetry... is so beautiful."

The sound of her reciting poetry became weaker and weaker, gradually disappearing from her lips along with her breathing, like the wind slowly calming down.

Apollonius said with his last breath: "Virginia, new world...goodbye..."
