Chapter 166 Onpharos 1-20 "Just the three of us, okay..."
In Onphalus, the outer heavens are a taboo.
From top to bottom, from the Senate to the Golden Clan, everyone seemed to tacitly accept this.
Everyone tacitly avoids talking about anything outside of their conversations.
No, it should be said that almost no one thinks about things beyond the heavens.
This is clearly abnormal.
When Wan Di was with He Yuan, he discovered that He Yuan was not curious about things outside the heavens, but was curious about Onpharos's attitude.
He couldn't understand why, despite having a stone tablet similar to a cell phone and knowing the name of his planet, no one had considered escaping to outer space.
Sometime after that incident, He Yuan said with a mixture of doubt and understanding, "I know a man named Igor. His homeland is also suffering from a devastating invasion—very similar to the Black Tide here. But their planet is connected to interstellar space, and he's a player who made a name for himself in interstellar competitions. He could easily take his family and friends away from there..."
"But he didn't."
The priest's expression softened considerably, revealing a hint of nostalgia. "He used the prize money he won in the competition to buy supplies and weapons to return to his hometown and fight against the Black Tide."
Wan Di: "And then what?"
Upon suddenly hearing what seemed like a story from beyond the heavens, Wan Di felt both puzzled and yet somehow it made perfect sense.
As a priest of Cephale, He Yuan constantly spoke of "Father" and usually appeared respectful.
But after the incident involving the carving of the Fale mural, Wan Di realized that the Crane Kite did not worship the gods.
He had absolutely no respect for Kefaller—not even the slightest bit.
Although Senator Kenneth might use Cephale's name to do things, he was fundamentally respectful and believed in the existence of "God the Father".
He Yuan acted as if he didn't think Kefaller existed.
Moreover, the outer heavens are taboo.
Legend has it that the followers of Aegler, the Titan of the Sky, once built a spaceship, intending to take some of them to explore the world beyond the heavens. However, just before touching the celestial wall, the spaceship crashed and disappeared, and all the people on board vanished.
From then on, people kept the sky a closely guarded secret.
Cephall is a Titan created by Egler, and Crane, as a priest of Cephall, should know this legend.
Wan Di had seen this book on his bookshelf in his room; it showed signs of having been read.
But He Yuan's attitude towards the outer world was indifferent and unremarkable.
When Wan Di inquired about the aftermath, he didn't embellish the story much.
“I…Igor once fought in a place where I participated in a competition, and after finishing the battle, I was able to help drive out the Destruction Legion.”
Wan Di thought he must have heard correctly.
The planet that helped, the fairy ship that He Yuan mentioned, is where He Yuan lived.
Crane and kite...
This name is similar to names like Jingyuan.
It's just that he's not a good match for Onpharos.
Wan Di then asked, "Who gave you your name?"
He pretended to mention it casually, and even pinched He Yuan's cheek and rubbed it against his lips.
He Yuan blurted out, "Of course it was Mom who named it!"
Wan Di was certain of his guess, and all his doubts were answered.
The name Crane was written in the oracle of Cephale and was sent down by Cephale.
This is something that everyone in Ohmma knows.
In case He Yuan realized something, Wan Di entangled himself again and used all his strength once more.
Now, Wan Di told Bai E about the details and conclusions he had observed.
“Since Xiao Yuan has been reincarnated here, her ‘ex-husbands’ must be dead, right?” Bai E said. “In addition, since there have been no extraterrestrial visitors in Onpharos for so many years, it’s possible that she has remained undiscovered all this time…”
Wan Di shook his head. "They are all alive."
"Let's call it the Immortal Ship for now. The average lifespan of the people on it is seven hundred years, and some are even several thousand years old. I'm not sure about He Yuan's age, but he's definitely not three hundred years old. Jing Yuan is probably still alive."
"Danfeng said they are members of the Vidyadhara clan who can undergo rebirth, so they might still have memories... Do you think that if those inside can't get out, then those outside can't get in?"
Bai E sensed that something was wrong.
He recalled the black squares he occasionally saw and had a bad feeling.
"Are the three of them good friends?" Bai E suddenly asked.
Put aside what you can't figure out for now; the most important thing right now is the crane and the kite.
Wan Di nodded with a complicated expression, "Yes, these three even fought side by side."
He Yuan didn't hide anything; he would answer Wan Di's questions.
Perhaps it was the view from above by someone who had seen beyond the heavens, just like how He Yuan looked at him and Bai E.
Even though they had intimate encounters and physical intimacy every time, Wan Di always felt that there was a thin barrier between him and He Yuan.
This armband, though invisible and intangible, made him feel isolated from Crane and Kite's world.
They are clearly in the same world.
Despite their seemingly matching social status, Wan Di always felt like he was being looked down upon.
Ugh, this is really annoying.
If the person looking at him wasn't someone he liked, Wan Di would have already punched him.
After learning some of the inside information, Bai E asked Wan Di, "Now that you've told me everything, we must be thinking the same thing now, right?"
If Wan Di wanted to pursue Bai E alone, there was no need to tell him all this.
“Even if you had met him first, you would have made the same choice as me,” Wan Di said without hesitation. “I know you think I’m lucky, and I think so too, but I’ve also had some tough years.”
Many times, Wan Di was afraid that He Yuan would not be willing to act with him anymore.
Yes, with his strength, he could indeed force love upon He Yuan, imprisoning her like in many novels, and staying together forever until the next world is created.
But can he really do it?
Wan Di is not without confidence.
As the crown prince who single-handedly destroyed Xuanfeng City, he was well aware of his own strength and knew that He Yuan would not be able to withstand him even for a moment.
He can succeed.
But that's not the case.
He Yuan has his own support; he is indifferent to everything in this world, as if he can withdraw at any time.
It was quite rare that Wan Di hesitated.
He was afraid that everything he did would cause He Yuan to leave.
So he wanted to pursue them again, to establish a deeper connection like the three people He Yuan had mentioned.
After listening to Wan Di's words, Bai E took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I agree to this."
...
After Bai'e and Wan Di left, He Yuan ordered a servant to come in and clean, and also changed into a new set of clothes.
The servants ignored the marks on his body and consciously chose clothes that covered him more securely to change into.
Soon, He Yuan resumed her usual aloof demeanor.
Nothing much happened today. After changing her clothes, He Yuan opened the stone tablet out of boredom and started chatting with someone.
Crane Kite: The savior is quite clever, no need to worry.
Aglaia: Then I guess you've already suffered a bit.
Aglaia: Xia will tell me about Bai'er's progress at that moment, you don't need to worry about it.
Aglaia: First, think about how to save yourself.
Crane Kite: They dare not.
Aglaia: Yes, visitors from outer space, when are you going to show some of your skills?
Crane Kite: Wait for me to bring a train over.
He Yuan put down the stone tablet and started randomly tapping on the system interface.
He only confirmed that Onpharos existed in the game a few days ago.
Xilian, who was studying at the Temple of Oronis, told him that in their hometown of Aerimishe, there was a group of flying fairies that looked like little dogs and had a strong Oronis aura.
After obtaining Xi Lian's consent, He Yuan read some of the relevant memories.
These fairies... are those who remember.
He is the one who came to Onphalus because of his boldness, and is imprisoned here.
What place would be so unwelcoming to extraterrestrial visitors, and even imprison those who remember?
Anyone with even a basic understanding of the universe knows that the Memory Makers of the Flowing Light Memory Garden are essentially neutral, and all they want is "memories." There's no need to turn them into fairies and put them all in one place.
Furthermore, this place, despite being completely isolated from the outside world, somehow knows its name is "Onpharos"...
He Yuan couldn't guess the true nature of this place, but he was certain that something shady was hidden there.
For example, they might be secretly manufacturing a world-destroying weapon, or giving birth to some strange and unusual thing.
Anyway, it's not a good thing.
If this place had been established with good intentions, there wouldn't be something like the Kuroshio.
Crane Kite shared this information with Aglaia.
After some discussion, Aglaia will preside over the Fire Chasing Journey here to buy time, while Crane and Kite will try their best to contact the outer heavens.
The latter might seem more like a divine intervention, but in this situation, who cares about that? Saving as many people as possible is definitely the priority!
But... is it really a person?
He Yuan recalled those square-shaped black tides and the hard drive in the sky that never actually appeared.
Since things have come to this, all we can do is take it one step at a time and then reload the save file.
If all else fails, we can try a few more times and eventually find the best solution.
The communication interface still only shows the people here; the rest are grayed out and cannot be contacted.
The tree symbolizing fate is still lit, but the camera in my hand is getting slightly hot.
Memory...the one who remembers?!
If the one who remembers can sense Onpharos, then could he borrow the memories to make use of his destiny?
To be honest, the way the mastermind treated the person who remembers clearly doesn't belong to the person who remembers.
They might even worry that their work will be stolen by memory, so they guard it closely.
Since his goal is opposite to the other party's, he can naturally use what he fears most to deal with it.
He Yuan had come up with a solution.
As he pondered his next plan, the two people who had just left returned.
Suddenly, a floral fragrance filled the room; they had brought flowers over.
Crane Kite wasn't surprised, but she was somewhat astonished by their speed.
They haven't been gone long, have they...?
Is that all?
He Yuan asked in confusion, "What are you doing back here?"
Wan Di tucked a rose behind his cheek and gently embraced the priest. "We missed you."
His words were tinged with uncontrollable bitterness.
He Yuan seemed puzzled as she touched his hair. "I miss you all too."
Bai E hugged him from the other side and pinned an iris flower to it. "Did you miss me too?"
He Yuan was somewhat "surprised." He slowly placed one hand on Bai E's side and patted his head. "Missed you too?"
What's wrong with you all?
"We want to stay with you forever, is that okay?" Wan Di asked in a calm voice, "Just the three of us, alright?"
He doesn't crave a relationship with just one person, but he also doesn't want to be like He Yuan described, sharing a love affair with three people.
He could barely tolerate one Bai E, but another one... Wan Di really was...
Although he will most likely have to accept it, it would be best if there were fewer people.
He Yuan asked with surprise and doubt, "Is that what you think too, Bai E?"
Bai E nodded bitterly, "Yes, neither of us will give in to the other."
He Yuan, feeling dizzy, pulled them down to sit. "Well, okay then, but you're not allowed to—"
Wan Di interrupted him, saying, "I've told him everything I needed to say."
So savvy?
He Yuan feels that... the sandwich ending isn't that hard to achieve?
He nestled sleepily in their arms, surrounded by warm bodies and completely relaxing embraces.
It feels like being a winner who has both a cat and a dog.
