Chapter 159 Onpharos 1-13 They'd better blow up Ohma...
Wan Di, far away in Ohma, received a seal.
He looked at the temple-dressed attendant in front of him and asked, "Did he send you back?"
The attendant said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, our master said that if the value of a gift is not clearly stated beforehand, he will not accept it."
But this seal has almost lost its meaning.
Wan Di is the crown prince of Xuanfeng City, but the king of Xuanfeng City was already killed by him—as in the version of the prophecy by the priest of Xuanfeng City.
He should have inherited the throne, become the next king, the next king to be killed.
The future of Suspended Peak City is endless strife and patricide.
His father wanted to end it all. He initially chose to marry his mother, but when he learned from the priest that their child would kill his father, he chose to throw the child into the River Styx to escape his fate.
But fate is always like this.
It always achieves its plans by resisting his hand.
Wan Di, who should have died, did not. Instead, he fought monsters in the River Styx and survived under the guidance of his mother's spirit.
The River Styx is not as terrifying as you might imagine.
Although it's dark here, there's clean food and some friendly spirits.
The still-child Wan Di encountered a silent priest on the River Styx.
Perhaps because the memory of being thrown into the River Styx was particularly clear, Wan Di initially disliked people dressed as priests.
At this time, because of his hatred for his father and his aversion to prophecy and fate, he always looked down on people who talked nonsense.
Moreover, this priest was dressed in the attire of Suspended Peak City.
Wan Di dislikes him, but won't do anything to him.
The child thrown into the River Styx is racing against death every day and has no time to take revenge on someone he has no connection with.
That's how it started.
However, an unexpected event changed Wan Di's attitude.
A mistake during a trip put Wan Di in grave danger.
There was no one to call for help in the River Styx; he could only rely on himself to escape from the enemy.
This has always been the case; even against overwhelming odds, success has been achieved.
But this time, he was surrounded by many more people with suspended blades.
To be precise, it was his father's army.
They had just gone through a war; Suspended Peak City had won, but suffered heavy losses, and a large horde of people from the Underworld had arrived.
Wan Di thought they would go to the priest's side.
After all, given his father's personality, these people should have been extremely respectful to the priest.
But... Wan Di discovered something very strange.
Those people couldn't see him, couldn't see the priest who, despite Wan Di's dislike, was undeniably beautiful.
This is very abnormal.
When Wan Di was in danger and surrounded by the Xuanfeng people, all of this became even more abnormal.
Because the priest saved him.
According to Wan Di's own speculation, this priest must have arrived shortly after he was thrown into the River Styx.
When he was one or two years old and able to recognize images, he clearly remembered that there was no such person in the underworld.
Therefore, the priest must know who the enemy of all is.
There was even less chance of anyone coming to his rescue.
At the gathering at Dawn Cloud Cliff, Wan Di originally wanted to ask, but after receiving the answer that he had never been to the Underworld, he did not ask.
He had reviewed the archives of the Temple of Suspended Peak, but there was no one who matched the description.
After being rescued, the priest took Wan Di's hand and led him back to his mother, Goergo.
That was the first time Wan Di had seen his mother's face.
To outrun death, one must never look back during the fight. Wan Di had only ever heard his mother's voice encouraging him, but this was the first time he had ever seen her face.
At that moment, he was almost stunned for a moment, and then he showed a very cute expression.
At this time, Wan Di was still a young boy and could not see the smile caused by his own expression.
He just stared at Goergo in disbelief, his voice trembling, and called out "Mother."
His mother responded to him.
She said, "Madmus, don't look back, keep going forward."
The meeting lasted only a brief moment; Wan Di was quickly taken away and sent to a relatively safe place.
The priest released his hand and continued to stand silently by the River Styx, offering no explanation for his actions.
He just stared blankly at the sky, as if the sky were his beloved.
Wan Di tried to strike up a conversation, but the priest didn't move an inch and ignored his every move.
Later, Wan Di deliberately put himself in danger.
Each time, the priest would arrive in time.
Wan Di was even more confused.
He didn't understand why this person would do that.
Doesn't the priest of Suspended Peak City know about the prophecy? Doesn't he know what Suspended Peak City will be affected by his departure from the underworld?
Unable to get a single reply, Wan Di could only curl up and rest beside the other.
Later, he assembled an army and marched back to Xuanfeng City.
When they returned to the underworld, the priest was nowhere to be found.
There are so many things he doesn't understand.
The priest should have been gradually forgotten by Wan Di over time, his image fading into the background of memory. But Wan Di could not forget him; instead, in his daily longing, the priest's image became clearer and clearer.
After learning to paint, Wan Di was even able to draw portraits so that the old people of Xuanfeng City could recognize him.
But no one said his name or that they had seen him before.
Until he arrived in Ohma, at the banquet he saw the face he had been longing for.
He Yuan didn't remember this experience, but given Wan Di's familiarity with him, he could confirm in a brief conversation that He Yuan was the person he was looking for.
Crane Kite, however, seemed more lively than the priests in the River Styx, and did not gaze melancholically at the sky.
Wan Di thought that he was probably too impatient, which was why he didn't push the priest away when the priest curiously explored the mysteries of the fusion of life with him.
A healthy romantic relationship should not begin with this.
A journey aimed at marriage should not begin here.
But he's already done it, he's been doing it for three years, he's been wrong for three years, and now he's starting over...
There's still time!
For Medemos, the word "retreat" does not exist in the dictionary of Suspended Peak City!
He gripped the seal tightly and told the visitor, "I understand. When will he return?"
The attendant glanced at the enormous dawn machine. "Two days. The priest will return in two days."
Wan Di nodded. "I understand."
This seal represents the loss of most of his power after he murdered his father and refused to accept the throne of Suspended Peak City.
In his eyes, it was nothing more than a pretty ornament, a toy he casually picked up to give to his lover.
Something precious... is still in the planning stages.
Their beginning was a mistake, and even if Wan Di wants to start over, he must first make up for the mistake.
As for this seal...
He doesn't need it, and He Yuan doesn't want it either, so let's just throw it away.
Suspended Peak City had already lost its fortune, and he had led the people of Suspended Peak to integrate into Ohmar. The prophecy had already disappeared when he refused to accept the throne.
Wan Di took one last look and threw it into the divine pool.
Clatrus, who had been standing beside him, was shocked. "Your Highness!"
He knelt down and lay prone beside him, trying to reach out and grab it, even considering jumping down to look for it.
Wan Di stopped him.
"Teacher, there's no need to go look for it."
Kratrus: "Your Highness, this is the weapon that can command the army of Suspended Peak City—"
Wan Di looked at him and said, "Teacher, there is no army here that belongs exclusively to Xuanfeng City. Xuanfeng City has been polluted by the Black Tide and no longer exists."
"...The glory of that strife?!"
"Conflict... glory built on blood and flesh, I don't need it, my people don't need it, and no one in the future needs it."
Wan Di closed his eyes. "Teacher, when we were in the River Styx, even though he didn't speak and just stared at me, I could see the sorrow in his eyes."
Clatrus knew who the "he" Wan Di was referring to was.
He sighed. "You haven't forgotten?"
Wan Di smiled. "He's already by my side, how could I forget?"
Kratrus: "...?"
Wait, isn't the one in the River Styx visible to the naked eye? But the one in Ohm is invisible!
“That must be him from the future,” Wan Di said, making a startling statement. “If Eulonis can go back to the past, maybe he can also go to the future? Or perhaps he can plan the future in advance?”
"So there's still a possibility, teacher?"
He might get married.
Kratrus: "???"
He remembered talking to Wan Di about the seal and the future of Suspended Edge City, right?
"Your Highness, all the people of Suspended Peak City in Ohmar are waiting for you to lead us to reclaim the city's glory..."
"The kings of the past have proven this path to be wrong; should we continue down this path?"
Kratrus wanted to say something more, but Wan Di had already stopped talking to him.
The man took out the stone slab and went to chat with He Yuan.
He needed to schedule an appointment in advance to meet with the priest.
He Yuan was learning from Na Ke Xia in the tree garden when the stone slab beside her made a sound.
Xia stopped what she was doing and quietly looked at He Yuan.
Bai E, who had already finished today's trial, took a shower and came to listen in, also watching He Yuan.
Kaze Sumire, a teaching assistant, and Haru, a student, were also drawn in by the sound.
Crane Kite: "..."
He pretended not to feel the gazes and picked up the stone slab.
Wan Di: Is it convenient to meet in three days?
Crane Kite: Convenient, I'm also waiting for your explanation.
When Feng Jin saw the name, she and Xia Die discussed it quietly.
They knew this wasn't a good thing, but the gossip was just too tempting, and even the Golden Descendants couldn't resist.
The Golden Descendants are their colleagues, and these three Golden Descendants are all truly outstanding!
There were only two people present, yet sparks flew.
If there were three people... wouldn't they blow up Ohmma?
Feng Jin sent a message to Aglaia with concern.
Aglaia replied: The only thing to worry about is the Senate, since the High Priest lives there.
Aglaia: He'll know his limits and won't interfere with Ohma's side.
Feng Jin: ...That's true, but if the Senate finds out, wouldn't that be bad for Yuan Bao?
He Yuan is still making a living under the Senate.
Aglaia: ...
Aglaia: Wind Violet, you still have a lot to learn.
Aglaia: Why do you think someone who controls the vast majority of Cephalus's followers would be afraid of the Senate?
The Senate is more likely to fear him; haven't they noticed how increasingly respectful Katniss has become in recent years?
Kaze Sumire: Is that so?
She still thought He Yuan was that poor little priestess who secretly ate small cakes, but now she's so powerful!
If He Yuan could see them chatting, she would probably honestly say, "He could indeed work alone now, but the living conditions at Dawn Cloud Cliff are the best, so he stayed."
Moreover, it has to be him who is driven out of Dawn Cloud Cliff to stir up a bigger ripple, right?
He needs to score as many points as possible in the "Recreation" project so he can get more rewards at the end of the game!
