A thousand years ago, in the various city-states of Onphalus, divine authority generally outweighed royal authority.
Hua Yi can guarantee that if Tirispius is killed today, the nobles will uphold justice tomorrow, drag the murderer out and behead him, and then tell the people that they will manage the city well to comfort the spirit of the saintess in heaven, thus naturally consolidating their power.
Unfortunately, Tirispius will not die.
On the contrary, those nobles have already vanished, and now we have to add a few lackeys to the mix.
Hua Yi didn't want Xing, San Yueqi, and the others to be stained with too much human blood, making things too bloody.
Even if the other side is a group of thugs.
Even if the essence of the Onphalus people is detached from the concept of life. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novels!)
I'll handle it.
With a slight thought, Hua Yi flashed a dark red light, and the next moment, he forcefully opened the treasure vault door, causing the soldiers who were about to rush in to freeze in place.
Until a certain moment, those figures suddenly disintegrated.
It burst open like a bubble.
Clang—!
The weapons and armor fell to the ground with a series of sounds, proving that they had indeed been held and worn by someone.
"!!"
Outside the treasury, the neutral guards had just gotten up from the ground when they saw that the noble guards had all vanished, as if they had been erased by a great being.
Not a drop of blood was spilled, and not a single body remained.
“The gateway is above…”
The vault guards trembled, terrified and wanting to escape, but sadly discovered that they had no strength left in their legs.
Until Tirispeius emerged from the treasury, her shadow was like a raging flood, at least in the eyes of the guards.
Their knees buckled, and they knelt down.
“Holy, Holy Maiden, we wanted to stop those soldiers, we really did, but there were just too many of them… We beg your mercy! Please, please appease the wrath of [the Gate]…”
"Actually, I don't know what happened either."
Da Ti Er Qi Liu Jiu Yi San Bo Liu Bao shrank back, trying hard to choose his words.
She did nothing, and was still quite a distance from the soldiers who had broken into the treasure vault, when the person opposite her vanished into thin air.
The scene was indeed a bit scary, like a horror story.
However, realizing that it was a deity protecting her, Da Tibo felt a sense of relief.
However, the guards knew nothing of this, not even that the Titan of the Gate had passed away, and remained kneeling (Hono) and trembling like leaves.
"Holy Maiden, spare me! Spare me!!"
"..."
Big Tibbers tried to pray, hoping to communicate with an unknown deity.
However, Hua Yi watched maliciously from the sidelines, with no intention of responding at all.
In the dead silence, several dozen seconds passed before Big Tibo murmured "Thank you" in a very soft voice. Then, she composed herself and solemnly addressed the limp guards.
"You have witnessed the Titans' wrath consume the madmen, and you should understand that people should abide by their duty and follow the precepts—go, proclaim the divine signs, uphold the proper doctrines, and tell people that those who do evil will ultimately be punished by the gods!"
Look!
Hua Yi smiled, his tone full of laughter.
"The previous guard captain was only clever in name only, and was actually courting death, while Tirisippius was truly intelligent and could adapt to changing circumstances even when things went beyond what was expected."
Chapter 743 Wherever Da Tibao went, the city-states surrendered without a second thought!
"Hehe, we'll gladly accept this compliment!"
Tian, beaming with delight, accepted Hua Yi's praise on behalf of Tirispius.
Since it's all for myself, no need to be polite~
"You deserve it."
Hua Yi smiled and gave Tian a gentle head pat. The little girl tilted her head up to cooperate, and their affection became increasingly obvious. Ti Bao and Ti Ning did the same.
No one dared to hinder the saintess anymore.
Tirispius left the treasury, but did not leave the city gate directly.
Perhaps, without Hua Yi's favor, the pitiful and weak saintess could only desperately escape, as the beginning of a long journey, to spread the divine oracle of "Bearing the World" that she had received many years ago, and all the details about the journey of chasing fire.
Until the Golden Children understand their responsibilities, until Onphalos embraces a new future.
The grand epic should have begun with the red-haired girl's turbulent journey.
But things are different now.
She should have done better, and she is capable of doing better!
Tirispius walked towards the central square of the city, climbed onto the high platform, and her fiery red hair fluttered slightly in the warm breeze.
The saintess stood still, and a crowd of people with various expressions had already gathered below.
"Citizens, the Titans' gaze has never wavered."
A crisp, melodious sound rang out, conveying conviction and possessing a certain deterrent power.
Directly in front of the high platform, empty armor and weapons of the 750 were placed together, gleaming in the sunlight, cold and hollow.
Their masters, those noble lackeys who intended to kill the saintess, have vanished, their existence erased by Hua Yi, leaving behind evidence far cleaner than bloody corpses.
The truth is even more chilling.
“Those who do good will be like seeds planted in fertile soil, eventually sprouting and finding shelter; those who do evil will be like the owner of this armor, retaining only the armor but losing their body, disintegrating and returning to nothingness under the aversion of the gods.”
Titans are punishing mortals – this is breaking news.
Because there was no precedent for this in previous city gates, it would be difficult for citizens to believe what Da Tibao said.
Even if she is a saint.
But when people discovered that the aristocracy had vanished, their immense power left uninherited, leaving only luxurious palaces and enormous wealth, and that the lackeys who always appeared under the guise of maintaining order and monitoring Tirispeius had also disappeared—
God has clearly answered our prayers!
People gradually came to believe this, and the dense crowd knelt down to worship the saintess.
"Holy Maiden, please lead us to fulfill the Titans' divine decree."
"Yes, those damned nobles have finally been punished. I can finally speak my mind. The city should be led by the Holy Maiden!"
The Titans truly existed in Onphalus, and their divine authority and faith far surpassed those in worlds without gods.
The situation is clear: all Big Tibo needs to do is nod to become the new ruler of the city.
“I will embark on my journey with the spark of the Gate, to convey the prophecy of re-creation, and will not remain in the Gate City.”
The girl shook her head.
They gave up readily available power, along with the wealth and luxury that come with it, and chose a journey full of unknowns.
"Citizens, the city is in your hands now. The dark calamity has already shown its claws. Humanity must unite! Remember, the gods are watching all things and will bless the virtuous and punish the wicked."
This day is a day of miracles and revelation in the history of the city.
Tirispius overthrew the rule of the sorcerers and nobles, refused to wear the crown, and resolutely left after proclaiming the oracle to the citizens.
Hua Yi took a step forward and followed beside her.
The surrounding scenery was changing rapidly, time was accelerated, and Big Tibo walked out of the city gate, looked back at the place where he had grown up, and then embarked on his journey, never to return.
She traveled throughout Onfaros, conveying the dangers of the Black Tide and the prophecy of rebirth to the land, while searching for the Golden Sons who could carry the fire and stand up in the face of disaster.
Scenes flashed by rapidly.
Around Big Tibo, many red-haired little girls gradually appeared, just like Tibo and Tian.
As prophesied by the Titan of the Gate, the saint is transforming into a thousand pieces.
Fortunately, Big Tibo did not shed any more tears. She smiled and took care of the little girls she had separated, earnestly asking them to help convey the prophecy and unite the various city-states.
Then, as time passes, more scenes unfold, showing the Tibbers bidding farewell to Big Tibbers and becoming messengers, traveling to various towns.
They are about to fall into suffering.
Some Tibo, while gathering information on the front lines, fell into the encirclement of Black Tide Creatures. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Some Tibos were assassinated by noble assassins while protecting refugees.
Some Tibbers were about to fall while protecting children on the battlefield.
In other cases, the city-state kings pretended to accept Tibo and loudly praised her status as the Holy Maiden of the Gate, but it turned out to be another conspiracy.
The kings wanted to gain the tools to control public opinion and repeat the events of the old city gates. If Tibo refused, it would mean "this woman must not be allowed to live," and they would immediately send soldiers to surround and kill her.
However, their information was not in order, and they did not know that the nobles of the city had been destroyed, and that both the young and the great Tibo were favored.
From the moment Hua Yi wiped away Da Ti Bao's tears, the power of [Preservation] was bestowed upon the girl. Even though she became *them*, with a thousand more little lolis, this power remained abundant.
Who says [Storage Protection] can't kill people?
Within the encirclement of the Black Tide Creatures, an amber light shone forth, warding off calamity.
The noble assassin's dagger failed to reach the saintess, shattering halfway through its path, along with the assassin.
The Tibos fell into a trap, their bodies glowed, and they wreaked havoc!
Da Tibao delivered her acceptance speech.
"I...I really didn't attack anyone..."
"We understand, we understand! It was the foolish nobles and royalty who blasphemed against the gods and attempted to harm the Holy Maiden. As a result, they were punished by the gods and reduced to ashes—they deserved it!"
The messenger journey lasted for a century, and Tebo the Great traveled to many places, leaving his footprints all over Onphalus.
One after another, the rulers of the city-states fell.
At first, they put up a stubborn resistance, resorting to all sorts of schemes and tricks. Big Tibbo or Little Tibbo would stand there, and the villains would perish while committing their crimes.
"Holy crap! They're going berserk!"
Xing looked at the images of time and exclaimed in amazement, while Mimi nodded vigorously in agreement.
Later, wherever Tirispeius went, all the city-states surrendered without a second thought.
Your Majesty, we are all loyal subjects!
Resolutely carry out the will of the [Gateway], and convey the divine decree of the [Bearer of the World]!
Gradually, Tirispius acquired many titles.
The Gatekeeper, a demigod, a messenger, a Titan-favored one, a funeral attendant for nobles and royalty, and the red-haired conqueror!
The city-state's inhabitants revered her, knowing that behind that beautiful figure lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood, piled up by the Black Tide Creatures, Titan Familiars, and blasphemous fanatics.
But Tirisfal? Erjiuqiliujiuyinsa?п shiliu? Ossi could still defend himself with a serious, innocent, and flustered expression: "I really didn't do it."
—Terrifying!
"Wow, Tibo, you guys are amazing! No wonder you can be Aglaia's teachers."
Xing was deeply moved, completely forgetting that it was Hua Yi who empowered the Holy Maiden.
Tibao, Ti'an, and Ti'ning remained silent, their eyes sparkling as they gazed at the traces of time, at the journey of chasing fire a thousand years ago, while their little hands tightly gripped Hua Yi's clothes.
They could guess what this development, which resembled a fairy tale and had taken on a peculiar style, should have looked like.
So it took me a long time to come to my senses.
"Thank you."
It was Tirispius, captured in a photograph taken over time, who spoke.
She turned around, not to communicate with anyone from a thousand years ago, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Hua Yi.
Chapter 744 Let's create an eternal paradise!
At this moment, Da Tibao could indeed see Hua Yi.
The saintess gazed at the god who protected her.
