After gaining a clear understanding,
Hyacine and the others suggested lighting up the screen to obtain a light source, so they prepared to use Hesitation's Time power, calling someone back through time to help.
Guinaifen swiftly manipulated the star and started running.
In the process, they found a method before long.
But aside from that, they also saw many past Remembrance of the Sky City.
Such as the dispute between the People of Radiance and the Rain People.
"Aegle evaded the pursuit of the dark clouds?"
"Yet left a mark among the golden clouds?"
Guinaifen learned that because of this, Aegle was considered to be favoring the People of Radiance.
Consequently, the People of Radiance monopolized the Celestial Mural, causing ground drought and unceasing sunlight, so the Rain People were discontent, and the two sides erupted into conflict and slaughter?
"This Aegle is just too abstract, isn't it?"
Guinaifen muttered a confused complaint, then prepared to activate the Celestial Mural using the ancient method.
"Come on, family, follow my chant..."
"Wind, Snow, Rain, Dawnlight, in the name of the Hundred Eyes of the Sky, I bring forth celestial phenomena upon the world."
"Morning and dusk shift, controlling the celestial sphere—"
"Awaken, 'Celestial Mural'!"
In an instant!
The moment the words fell, light shot out from the instrument, striking the screen and fully illuminating it.
golden clouds, blazing radiance.
The falling radiance illuminated the surroundings completely, also revealing a pool of searing golden liquid below, awe-inspiring and making one thankful they hadn't fallen in earlier!
And, a rolling eyeball on the mural?!
[Hiss! What is this thing, it's making my sanity plummet!]
[Could this be Aegle's eye? That avatar mark it mentioned!]
[It really is?]
[Wow, this looks a bit like Erosion...]
That's right.
That was Aegle's avatar.
After finding it, Guinaifen looked excited.
As for how to pull it down, following Phainon's suggestion, they used the overcast weather it feared to affect the avatar mark and force Aegle out!
Unfortunately, the Armillary Sphere Instrument here was already damaged.
So, to find a new Armillary Sphere Instrument, everyone decided to use the West Wind Compass to erect a Rainbow Bridge and travel to a new realm to search.
Time for Guinaifen's favorite free monster-slaying segment.
She continued running, and during the process, she actually encountered a memory remnant of Lunaebis?
Under its guidance, the group also found Sorabis, controlled by the black tide, and after a fierce battle, finally freed its soul!
Subsequently, through conversation, both Phainon and Hyacine gained the recognition of the two heroes.
They were also willing to lead everyone to Aegle's location.
But what shocked everyone was,
from the mouths of the two, Guinaifen learned that the history passed down for millennia might be false?
...
"Gods and demons? It's actually fake?!"
Guinaifen mumbled.
Running into ghosts here was scary enough already.
So, before long, they arrived at the hall of the People of Radiance.
Sorabis couldn't help but recall Remembrance upon seeing this place.
Seeing this situation, Hyacine couldn't help but ask:
"So... did the Sky Titan truly favor the People of Radiance?"
In response, Sorabis just sighed: "That's what everyone believed, until Seneos's spear pierced through Aegle's wrath."
"That's when we finally understood: what Aegle was evading wasn't the clouds and rain, but the terror lurking in the shadows."
The black tide.
Undoubtedly, that was probably the black tide.
"Wait, Aegle didn't dislike overcast days; it was because the black tide hid within them?"
"Then the earlier dispute between the radiance and Rain factions was just a misunderstanding?!" Guinaifen analyzed.
"And it seems that a thousand Time ago, the Chrysos Heirs were really unpopular." Sushang added from the side.
"Only Aglaea and Tiresias made it to the end, meaning there were others..."
Thinking of this, the two inexplicably felt sad again.
Come to think of it, Tribbie ended up with only three left.
But with Re-creation approaching, Little Gui adjusted her state and pressed forward, after all, they had promised to meet again in the new world!
Using the divine power of years, they retroactively altered the terrain and used the prophecy calculation stele to disperse the black tide.
Before long, the second Armillary Sphere Instrument was successfully activated, and the Celestial Mural indeed transformed into overcast weather!
But the ferocious eye within was still evading, showing no intention of confronting Phainon and the others.
According to Sorabis's explanation, the current Aegle had long lost its sanity.
Only instinct drove it to stay away from darkness and evade the black tide's encirclement.
"As for Seneos, I have no knowledge of her whereabouts."
"But this is definitely not her consciousness dominating the mark, for she would never flee like a coward, disregarding all dignity!"
Sorabis's deep voice carried a hint of regret.
At the same time, a question arose in Hyacine's mind:
"Lord Sorabis, I... have one more thing I wish to do."
"To honor the promise with the hero Seneos, her descendants spent a thousand Time watching over the sky. I believe the ancestors who lived generation after generation for the same ideal have the right to know the truth of the legend."
Because she had been told earlier that the history of the Child of the Sky passed down for millennia was false.
That's why, at this moment, Hyacine was determined to find out what the truth was?!
No matter what.
After a moment of silence, Sorabis did not choose to stop her.
[This is a lot of information to process? How can everything be fake?]
[The People of Radiance and Rain People are fake, Aegle evading dark clouds is fake, now even the millennia-old history is fake, what else is fake?!]
[In this situation, I have a bad feeling...]
Hyacine asked Hesitation to retroactively piece together fragments of the years, while the comment section rapidly scrolled.
"Hyacine... what a good child. Don't worry, I'm here!"
"The Remembrance surging here are even stronger than at the entrance... I'll condense them now, squeeze, squeeze..."
Hesitation's soft, cute voice kept echoing.
Soon after, glimpses of the past appeared before everyone's eyes.
The first one should be from the timeline before Seneos challenged Aegle?
A group of People of Radiance surrounded her, confronting Seneos, indignantly demanding she stop her transgressive actions against Aegle!
But Seneos paid them no heed.
It was precisely because she harbored benevolence and was filled with compassion for the children of men that she chose to slay the god.
And she declared with such passionate words:
"From the horizon's end came the oracle, proclaiming a new era, an era not ruled by Titan deities, but forged by mortal heroes."
"I choose to believe! Every promise to break the chains the old world imposed on us, to bring us the omen of a new chapter... I have no choice but to believe!"
Immediately after.
Bidding farewell to Sorabis, they arrived at Lunaebis and learned from it about Seneos's childhood.
legend says her father was often away on campaigns, so she lived only with her mother, a Rain People priestess.
Later, due to her half People of Radiance lineage and, in that era, being discovered to have Chrysos Heir blood, she was exiled by the Rain People.
It was during this time that she met Sorabis and Lunaebis, growing up together, hunting together, becoming stronger together.
"The epic records that the hero Seneos once lived in seclusion, solely to temper her will and hone her martial skills."
"Who would have thought she was exiled from her tribe because of her bloodline and Chrysos Heir identity?"
Facing Hyacine's astonishment, the comments were equally incredulous.
[Just because she was a Chrysos Heir, she was directly exiled from her tribe?!]
[Although it was mentioned earlier that Chrysos Heirs were unpopular, what kind of life was this a thousand Time ago, truly hunted and hated by everyone?]
[No wonder Tribbie ended up with only three left...]
[It's hard to imagine how Tiresias and Aglaea managed to make it through the millennia?]
