Chapter 109 Aglaia: This is my last bit of divinity, Bai'er!
"I remember this bracelet! Isn't it one of the two treasures the master craftsman gave to Bai E?"
"I remember this bracelet was entrusted by Aglaia to the master craftsman to forge her last divine essence into before she died!"
"I'm so sad! Aglaia toiled for a thousand years for the journey to chase fire, and after her death, she gave everything she had to this journey that spanned a thousand years!"
"It's hard to imagine that if it weren't for Aglaia, Little Gray and the others would have been severely injured even if they hadn't died when they fell into the Golden Pool!"
On the Douluo Continent, countless people were moved to tears by this scene.
A leader like Aglaia, who selflessly dedicates himself to his people and gives his all, is the kind of leader they yearn for most.
If the emperors of Douluo Continent, or the high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall, had even one-tenth of Aglaia's spirit of self-sacrifice.
The Douluo Continent of today would never be in such a disorganized state.
With such a leader, everyone will live a happy and fulfilling life.
However, those in high positions only know how to indulge in pleasure and don't care about the lives of ordinary people at the bottom.
The amount of Soul Coins an ordinary Soul Master receives each month is enough for an average person's entire family to live on for a year.
Even if you only have the potential to become a Soul Master and possess Soul Power, you can work as a part-time student at a Soul Master school, sweeping floors and cleaning every day, and the pay you would be enough for an adult to work for half a month.
With such a huge wealth gap, how can people at the bottom possibly live happily?
If Aglaia were in Douluo Continent, with her selfless character, she would never watch her people live such a miserable life.
At this moment, countless people are praying in their hearts, hoping that Aglaia will be born into this world.
They didn't expect Aglaia to bring happiness and salvation; they only hoped that this great leader could be resurrected and live the life he wanted on the Douluo Continent.
...
"The journey to the fire is truly a miracle... These demigods knew their fate was tragic, yet they still resolutely embarked on this path of no return..."
Qian Renxue gazed at the sky, her heart filled with unparalleled shock. Aglaia's sacrifice was truly immense.
A thousand years have long since exhausted her humanity.
Even though she had lost her humanity, she still made a final contribution to the journey to the fire.
"Aglaia, I hope you can be resurrected by Lord Star! At that time, I have many things I want to discuss with you..."
...
In the sky, Feng Jin slowly walked to the edge of the platform, her gaze falling on the golden pool below. Looking at Titan's body, which was about to be submerged in the scalding water, she raised her hand to her chest, her face full of heartache and sorrow.
Bai E gazed at the golden bracelet radiating light and intertwined with golden threads above the platform, feeling its familiar and warm power. His heart trembled violently. He also raised his hand to his chest, feeling his surging heartbeat, and whispered from the depths of his heart:
"Aglaia…"
"Are you... still protecting us?"
Seeing the final power emanating from the deceased Aglaia, even the usually carefree and irreverent Little Grey Fur lost his usual playful demeanor and revealed a sorrowful expression, his eyes slightly reddening.
Just then, the bracelet that carried Aglaia's last divine essence slowly handed Aegler's embers to everyone.
Danheng had not yet recovered from Aglaia's sacrifice. His eyes were haggard as he watched the slowly descending flames, his voice slightly hoarse:
"Look, Aigle's spark—"
Although they had successfully defeated the Titans, Feng Jin felt no joy; her voice was filled with undisguised sorrow:
"Is this... all over?"
Then, she looked down at the scalding golden pool, her voice choked with emotion:
"Seneus condemned mortals, causing them to fall into the pool of gold. In the end, her fate was also..."
Bai E turned his head, looked at the dejected Feng Jin, and said with a firm gaze:
"...Take that spark, Feng Jin. Our mission is not over yet."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin quickly composed herself, her demeanor becoming solemn. She slowly walked towards Aigle's embers, nodded solemnly, and gently extended her hand:
"Hmm... Spark of the sky, come with me..."
Feng Jin gently took the fire into her palm, and a warm power instantly spread throughout her body.
Her face was full of disbelief as she whispered:
"It's...a strange feeling. It's warm, and...powerful."
"Holding it in your palm, you feel as if the winds of the world will turn for you... Summoning thunderclouds or rain and snow is just a thought away."
Bai E slowly approached Feng Jin, his voice gentle yet heavy: "I understand how you feel, but now..."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire platform suddenly began to shake violently, the stone slabs beneath his feet cracked again, and gravel fell down in a shower.
Bai E gestured to Little Gray Hair and Dan Heng to stay alert while quickly looking around, his tone grave:
"...This platform is teetering on the brink of collapse, and we don't know how much longer it can hold on. We need to find a way to leave immediately."
Soon, Bai E's gaze locked onto the instrument used for the Time Ritual not far away, the surface of which still retained faint divine power fluctuations.
"Use prayers to activate this machine, retrieve the broken platform, and then you can ride it back to the entrance above and leave this place!"
Without delay, everyone immediately sprang into action.
Sky City is now collapsing rapidly, the root cause of which is the fall of Aigle. Every second is crucial, and we must evacuate as quickly as possible.
Seeing the falling rubble and the crumbling Sky City around them, they quickly gathered in front of the instruments used for the ritual of time.
Little Gray and Mimi exchanged a glance, quickly closed their eyes, clasped their hands together, and began to whisper prayers.
Mimi's voice was sweet, with a hint of holiness: "Lift the veil of memory—"
The little gray-haired boy's voice was firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation: "—Stir up ripples from the past!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the power of the prayer erupted instantly, beginning to rewind time across the entire platform.
The broken stone slabs rapidly reformed, the cracks gradually healed, and the gold threads released from the Aglaia bracelet above the platform slowly disappeared into the bracelet like a tide.
Soon, the platform was almost completely repaired and regained its stability.
The bracelet that carried Aglaia's last divine essence slowly floated towards Bai'e, its light soft.
Just then, the ritual instrument next to Little Gray Fur suddenly emitted a blinding red light, flickered violently a few times, and made a "buzzing" sound, as if it would break down at any moment.
Little Gray felt a sense of foreboding. She gave a low shout and immediately rushed towards the direction of Aglaia's bracelet, urgently calling out:
"Oh no, the power of the prayer has gone out of control...!"
"fan!"
Mimi also sensed the danger and quickly flew towards the bracelet.
Even Dan Heng didn't hesitate to transform into a bolt of lightning and rush towards Aglaia's bracelet.
Bai E, who was closest to the bracelet, immediately reached out to grab it as it was about to fall.
However, he was still a step too slow—his fingertips were only a hair's breadth away from the bracelet, and Aglaia's bracelet, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted heavily into the golden pool below.
Mimi hurriedly lunged downwards to try and intercept it, but the golden pool below was scalding hot, and the intense heat almost ignited the air. The bracelet was also falling at an astonishing speed.
Before Mimi could get close, Aglaia's bracelet had already fallen into the churning golden liquid and was instantly submerged.
Bai E lay on the edge of the platform, watching the bracelet disappear into the golden pool, her hands hanging limply at her sides, looking like she could do nothing.
He pounded the ground violently, overwhelmed with self-blame and grief.
He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with pain and resentment.
But he quickly suppressed his grief, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up from where he stood. His gaze became more and more determined, without the slightest wavering.
His tone carried a subtle gentleness, yet was incredibly resolute. He turned to the crowd and said:
"Let's go... we have to get out of here."
Little Gray stood on the edge, gazing at the churning golden liquid below, his eyes filled with sadness and reluctance, his eyes reddening.
Within the scalding molten gold, the remaining divine power within Aglaia's bracelet was gradually melted away by the intense heat, its faint golden light dimming little by little until it finally vanished completely.
Involuntarily, Aglaia's prophecy and the words in the letter she left for him surfaced in Bai'er's mind:
"I'm taking my last bath..."
"In the warm, dazzling gold."
"From this moment on, Bai'e, you will embark on a journey from which there is no return."
"The light departs from its seat because it awaits the rise of a sun."
"One day, you will no longer take a step out of fear..."
Thinking of this, Bai'e slowly spoke, his voice low and firm, as if responding to Aglaia's expectations:
"...but to return dawn to the world."
Bai E opened his eyes, his gaze filled with the sorrow of parting, yet also with an unwavering determination:
"Dawn is just around the corner."
Titan has been shot down, and the spark in the sky has been taken away by Wind Violet.
Bai E only needs to lead everyone back, return the Sky Fire Seed first, and then inherit the Fire Seed of the World.
The final creation of the world on the journey to the fire!
