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

Chapter 923: First Sun, Drive Away the Stars and the Waning Moon

Cerydra: "Then, tell me: how will you wield this power to guide the world... In the future you describe, where will our journey to follow the flames lead?"

Xing: "Protect the fire... and the law... so that Omphalos can escape destruction."

"Oh? What you need right now is... the power of law?"

Xilian: "Exactly. As the oracle foretold, Xing is a savior from outer space. Furthermore, she has reliable allies. If we can allow them to enter the laws of Omphalus, we have a chance to change the future and reverse the destined fate of this world."

“Hahahaha!” Cerydela suddenly laughed. “Very good, savior, you are very courageous! Knowing that the heir of the law is standing before you, you still dare to be so presumptuous—”

Xi Lian: "You mean..."

"In the past, anyone who dared to covet Caesar's divine power would most likely end up being torn into pieces. But now, we can see beyond this dying land..." Cerydra turned her head and looked at the huge statue of Kephar: "Our journey... should no longer be restricted by the stubborn sky.

Unfortunately, the capricious ocean titan has blocked the spiritual waters leading to the heart of the Creation Vortex, hindering my path to advancement. If the Spark of Law cannot be returned, the path to salvation you have pointed out will be unattainable... At this point, we should also stop the stagnant journey... and let the waves that block our path recede."

Xi Lian: "So... you agree to cooperate with us?"

"Cooperation? With all due respect, I never cooperate with anyone. However, I allow you to embark on this journey with me as my subjects—help me forge the most perfect law."

Then Cerydra produced a nameplate. "The Fire Chaser Nameplate, a symbol of the Fire Chaser Army, is held by every Lord of Ochma. Seeing this nameplate is like seeing Caesar himself. You can move freely within the city."

Before setting out to conquer the Ocean Titan, please rest for a while in Ohma."

Xing: "Thank you for your trust, Caesar, but you must remember to be careful of a man named Lycus."

"I accept your advice. From now on, prove yourself through your actions. As long as you don't overstep your bounds, I will fully respect your choices."

Xilian: "May your journey be filled with stars, Lord Caesar."

"Oh, you, my follower, really know how to please others. Go and take a bath first. You smell... ahem, of the sea."

Honkai Impact 3rd Hei Xier: "The smell of the tide? This is referring to the previous Heather Sound, right?"

Mingchao Changli: "However, that Laigushi, who knows where he's up to no good now, still needs to be extra careful."

Celestial Railroad's Cerydra: "I'm curious what kind of rhetoric this Lygus will use to convince me in the storyline."

Starry Sky Railway Bai'e: "With his language skills that haven't improved in 30 million lifetimes, I don't think he can fool anyone."

After Xing and Xilian left, Cerydela was the only one left in the meeting room. At this time, Cerydela said, "Come out, Divine Master."

"As you command, great Caesar!" Lygus appeared behind Cerydela. "Now, perhaps you are willing to listen to my advice?"

"Heh," Cerydra sneered. "As Oronis said, those two have arrived. And just as you said, they've demonstrated a thirst for law... At the very least, this proves my judgment was correct. Sparing you was the right decision."

Lycus: "Haha, you have once again proved that the name of Caesar is not empty talk. Now, another choice is before you. Who should you cooperate with and which side should the scales of law tip in your favor? Me, or the Savior?"

"Remind me again, Antikythera—to what future do these two paths lead in your view?"

"As you command, you have the right to understand that the savior from outer space is not an unforgivable evildoer. However, from the very beginning, her position was completely different from Omphalos's.

The path they have chosen will bury the ambitions of Omphalos. This world, destined for destruction, will be far away from the glory it deserves... And on the path I reveal to you: the people of Omphalos will kill the God of Creation in the name of Caesar and conquer all the worlds beyond the sky.

You will command the beasts of the Iron Tomb, bringing great victories and conquests to the universe—all creatures will fall before you and bow down to you."

"So, what's the price?"

"The price is negligible. All that is required is to sacrifice that fragile, imperfect humanity in destruction—as the Golden Descendant mentioned by the Oracle... Ming had already decided to abandon it, hadn't he?"

Gao Xuan, the Cosmic Wanderer, said, "Wow, wow, conquering the universe! This Lygus is really boastful. The Iron Tomb will be very powerful after it's completed, but it's definitely not the strongest. If Cerydra really decides to do so, she's jumping into a fire pit."

Xilian from Starry Sky Railway: "Hehe, but Caesar wouldn't think so now, right?"

Celestial Railway's Kerydra: "Nonsense! I'm not stupid. Why would I charge in and get killed when I know I can't win?"

After hearing Lygus' words, Cerydra ordered, "Stand back, audience. I have made up my mind. Let me light the flame of law and burn away the old, outdated rules..."

Then, Omphalos will be able to embark on a journey across the stars."

On the other side, Xing and Xilian.

Xi Lian: "That Caesar is so aggressive... She doesn't even give us a chance to ask questions. Besides, she's obviously hiding something. Xing, what do you think?"

Xing: "Although she allows us to move freely, her overbearing style is...unacceptable."

"Yes, the representatives of the city-states also had some complaints. Fortunately, he allowed us to move freely, which was one of the few lucky things. However... the atmosphere in Ochma... is so strange. Not only the Fire-Seeker Alliance, but the entire city is discussing the Outer World...

We should also discuss our recent gains with our friends back home. Next... eh? Next, it's time to enjoy the Holy City's renowned bathing culture and relax! This is what I'm most looking forward to on this trip!

Xing was confused for a moment: "Isn't it time to take a shower now?"

"It's important to balance work and rest. Look, everyone thinks so, right?"

At this time, the two of them looked at several suspicious guards not far away, and Xing also discovered that someone was eavesdropping.

Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Why is Xing so slow to react? She didn't even notice someone was peeking at her."

Bronya of Star Railroad: "Whose people are they? Caesar's or the Senate's?"

Absolute Zone Zero Hugo: "It's not clear yet, but judging from the looks of these two guys, it's clear they have bad intentions."
