Chapter 256 The Former Suspended Peak City
"That fire thief was also a member of the Golden Clan?"
After returning to Ohm, Lin Qiong and his group did not rest for a moment and rushed straight to the Cloud Stone Palace.
When Aglaia and Tibo were told what had happened in the Abyss of Fate, they were both shocked.
Bai E nodded and solemnly confirmed:
“Yes, Lady Aglaia, I saw with my own eyes that when the black-robed traveler was injured, the blood that flowed out was golden.”
“But, Xiaobai, the oracle only mentioned twelve demigods with golden blood, and now their identities have been almost confirmed.”
"Therefore, to possess golden blood without being recorded in the oracle... that's completely impossible."
Tibo crossed her arms in front of her chest, making a cross shape, then gently shook her head in denial.
"Then... Teacher Tibo, if I remember correctly, the Golden Blood who can bear the divine office of Oronis has not yet been found, has it?"
"That Fire Thief murdered Oronis and even tried to steal the Fire of Time. Could he be the one burdened by the passage of time...?"
Bai E paused briefly, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face, before proceeding to express his views and opinions.
But the words "Golden Descendant" were still stuck in his throat, and before he could utter them, he was interrupted by Aglaia.
"Alright, let's put the matter of that fire thief aside for now. I'll find a way to investigate it thoroughly."
Aglaia gently raised her hand and clapped her hands. The crisp applause instantly interrupted everyone's thoughts and drew their attention to her.
"The most important thing now is to rush to Suspended Peak City to support Wan Di, defeat Nicardoli, and reclaim the sparks of conflict."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback, only then remembering that Wan Di seemed to still be inside Xuanfeng City, fighting against the Titanicadori of the Conflict.
If Aglaia hadn't brought it up, he would have completely forgotten about it.
After all, the man in black robes he had encountered earlier had indeed left a very deep impression on him...
At the same time, Aglaia turned to look at Xia Die and asked softly:
"Butterfly, the flame of Oronis resides within you, doesn't it?"
"Yes, Lady Aglaia."
Xia Die took a few light steps forward, carefully holding up the spark of time with both hands, and displayed it to everyone.
"Master, could you please look through the past in the embers of time and find the reason why Nicardoli fell into madness?"
Aglaia shifted her gaze from the fire and turned to Tibo beside her, asking softly.
"No problem, leave it to 'us'."
Tibo agreed and then stepped forward to touch the flame.
The moment she closed her eyes and her fingertips touched the flame, it seemed to be awakened, shining brightly with a dazzling blue light that was so bright it was almost blinding.
Lin Qiong subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes, enduring the discomfort in his eyes, and tried to look through the gaps between his fingers at the center of the light.
Just when he thought he could use this spark to find a way to defeat Nicardoli.
The flame that was originally shining with blue light suddenly dimmed rapidly, like a light bulb that had lost its power source, and finally returned to its usual inconspicuous appearance.
"That's... over?"
Lin Qiong squinted, lowered his hand that was used to cover his eyes, and scanned Tibo and the dim flame back and forth.
Unfamiliar with this method of information extraction, he felt that Tibo was flipping through the past from the embers of time much faster than he had expected.
He had originally thought it would take a long time.
"Was it successful?"
When everyone saw Tibo open her eyes, they couldn't wait to surround her and ask her questions with great anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Tibo gently shook her head, her face full of exhaustion, her brows furrowed, and she replied with a worried expression:
"Just now... it seems the spark rejected 'us'; we can't see anything inside."
"My teacher..."
After hearing this, Aglaia's expression gradually became serious, and she was about to say something.
“Don’t worry, Aya, let ‘us’ try again.”
Tibo gently interrupted Aglaia's unspoken words, giving her a reassuring smile.
After saying that, she stepped forward again and reached out to touch the embers of time.
However, the light on the fire flared up again, only to be extinguished at an extremely rapid pace.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qiong knew in his heart that Tibo's attempt had ultimately failed.
"Damn it, do we really have to find someone who can bear the flame of time? But Wan Dita..."
Bai E lowered his head, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Mimi suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed next to Xing.
"Mimi, Mimi!"
After she appeared, she put her hands on her hips, a confident smile inexplicably appeared on her face, and then called out twice.
Although no one knew what she was trying to say, judging from her confident demeanor, she must have some good news to share.
As the only person present who could understand what Mimi was saying, Xing naturally became the translator.
"Hmm? You mean you can recreate the reason why Nicardo went mad?"
......
The former Suspended Peak City, the main gate bridge.
In order to defeat Nicardoli and reclaim the sparks of conflict, the group, under Mimi's guidance, set off for Suspended Peak City to collect memories.
They split into two groups: Lin Qiong, Xing, and Xia Die went to collect memory fragments and travel back in time to find a way to break Nicardi's immortal body.
Meanwhile, Bai'e and Danheng went to the Soul Forging Zone to assist Wan Di in resisting Nicardoli.
At this moment, Lin Qiong stood on the bridge, looking at the soldiers coming and going around him, and a sense of shock welled up in his heart.
"So...we've gone back to the past?"
Although I had experienced time travel before, experiencing it again now still feels like a dreamlike illusion.
Before Lin Qiong could recover from the shock, a deep male voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Excuse me, you're blocking the way."
The voice came from behind, like a sudden gust of wind, carrying a hint of aloofness that kept people at a distance.
Lin Qiong came to his senses and realized that he was just standing in the middle of the bridge, while there was still a wide open space next to him where people could walk.
What exactly is blocking his way?
With this question in mind, Lin Qiong immediately turned around and looked behind him, where he saw a man wearing a helmet and with a strong physique.
"No, isn't this side of the road quite spacious? How am I blocking your way?"
Lin Qiong looked at the man in front of him, who was half a head taller than him, and assumed that the other party was looking for trouble, so he retorted without hesitation.
Just then, Xia Die and Xing, who had heard the commotion, turned their gazes in this direction.
After they learned what had happened, they immediately agreed with Lin Qiong's point of view, also believing that the other party was making trouble out of nothing.
After all, why would someone choose to walk in the middle of such a wide road, and then act as if it's perfectly natural? Anyone would find that baffling.
