PDLP Chapter 534: Omphalos' Current Situation
Chapter 534: Omphalos' Current Situation
Aglaya did not elaborate further because she herself did not know how to explain it in detail.
She didn't know where the black tide came from, nor did she know why it was devouring her world.
She only knew that if she didn't embark on this fire-chasing journey, their world and their people would face doom.
For the sake of the people and the world, they had to go on.
So that was all she could say, and after that Tibao also told Lao Yang some stories.
Lao Yang ultimately remained silent about these stories.
But is he really silent?
No, his silence was only for the group.
On the train, Ji Zi and her group saw Lao Yang's gloomy face.
"Uncle Yang, please say something. Why do you look so scary?" San Yueqi was frightened by Uncle Yang's expression.
"Yes, Mr. Walter, if you have any opinions about Omphalos's fire-chasing journey, just say it directly," Misha followed.
Because he has withdrawn from the Holy Grail War, Misha can now be said to be very relaxed. As long as the Holy Grail War is not over, he can act freely and no one will disturb him.
Of course he didn't have a group, everything was told to him orally by Pam.
"I'm sorry, because some of the things they said reminded me of something in the past." It seemed that he also realized that his complexion was not very good, so Lao Yang's complexion recovered a little.
"So what makes you so upset?" Ji Zi asked.
"You should know that I came from another world. Actually, something happened in my world. At first, I had no idea such a thing existed until one day I met a man named Kevin who beat me up badly..."
When Lao Yang said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists. Thinking of how miserable he was back then, he was very angry now.
He really didn't know about the Fire Moth and the Thirteen Heroes at the beginning. Even after everything was over, he only knew Kevin, a man who appeared out of nowhere.
If he hadn't traveled here and hadn't had that guy Xukong Wanzang traveling with him, he wouldn't have known that Kevin was from the Thirteen Heroes.
And these things were fully confirmed in the Book of Earth that the system gave him later, which was true.
But that's how it was. When Aglaya talked about the Journey to Chase Fire, he couldn't help but think of Xukong Wanzang and the things he had said deliberately to anger him when they were drifting in the universe.
That's how he understood Kevin's mental state at that time.
But even so, his resentment towards Kevin would not ease.
Was he beaten because Walter Young deserved it? Damn Kevin!!!
After Lao Yang finished speaking, Ji Zi and the others finally understood why Lao Yang's face was so gloomy. Although they felt that the gloominess was more due to Lao Yang's dissatisfaction with Kevin, the story itself was a tragedy.
"Uncle Yang, that's not the case. Although the Fire-Chasing Journey they talked about is very similar to the Fire-Chasing Moth you mentioned, they only have twelve Titans, while the Fire-Chasing Moth has many people. The Thirteen Heroes is also a collective name for the thirteen warriors who remained after the entire plan. They may not be exactly the same," March Seven persuaded.
"Yes, Yang, you should be more at ease!" Ji Zi nodded.
"Although the responsibility of saving the world is great, sacrifice is inevitable, so you can consider going to see Omphalos after the matter with Pinocchio is over. Maybe we can avoid some tragedy," Misha suggested.
Old Yang: “…………”
Listening to what these three people said, although Lao Yang agreed with them, but when he thought about how he had met the equivalents of some people from his hometown more than once after traveling to this world, to be honest, he really wanted to say something.
Is Honkai still chasing him?
"That's right, Mr. Walter, don't forget that there is Mr. Qi Fu in this world. If he is willing, and the people of Omphalos have begged him, he should not sit idly by. We can also use the excuse of suspecting that insects from other worlds have entered Omphalos and interfere in the affairs of that world," Dan Heng said softly.
"Well, that's true... I was indeed overthinking it..." What everyone said really gave Lao Yang a feeling that nothing serious would happen.
Now Omphalos did not ask anyone for help, nor did he cry out in grief. Perhaps he was just overthinking it.
Thinking of this, he sent a message to Teacher Tibao in the group.
In the group:
Yang: @Tibao, although there are still some things I don’t quite understand, the stories you told are great and touching.
Yang: I hope you can achieve your dreams smoothly.
Yang: I don’t know if we can help you, but if you need our help someday, then... please contact us!
Black Swan: …………
Kafka: …………
Aglaya: Thank you. We will consider Mr. Yang's words.
Bai'e: Thank you
Xiadie: Thank you
Yang: You’re welcome, this is what we do as anonymous guests.
Aglaya: Pioneering? You are also great beings!
Tibao: …………
The group quieted down.
At this time, somewhere in Pinocchio
Two illusory projections found a woman in black stockings.
"You actually have the leisure to drink wine here. Shouldn't you be guiding the train to Omphalos?"
Kafka's projection sat down next to the Black Swan, and at the same time, the Silver Wolf also sat down next to Kafka.
"Sure enough, my story is in your script. What's the matter? Is it too late or is something big going to happen?" Black Swan didn't seem surprised.
"I just came here to take a look, but your calmness really surprised me. You obviously want to know what's in Omfalos, but you haven't taken any action so far. I almost thought you had contacted someone in Omfalos privately," Kafka said again.
"The big shots haven't moved, so why should I, a small rememberer, move? Instead, how much do you Star Core Hunters know about Omphalos?" Black Swan asked.
"So far, what we know is what you know. We are even worse than you. After all, someone in your Yiting has tried to enter a long time ago," Kafka said, looking at the Black Swan.
"But those rememberers are not on the same side as me," Black Swan just said this.
"Stop talking about this. In our opinion, rememberers are rememberers. They are all thieves who like to peek into other people's memories. You haven't moved yet. Are you planning something? For example, you want to see the memory of that adult?" Kafka asked tentatively.
"That one? Do you think I'm a pig? How dare I mess with the emperor? On the contrary, it was you, the one who arranged for Miss Liuying to go there?" Black Swan asked back.
"Hehe, we will not sacrifice the happiness of others. We Star Core Hunters have always been pursuing our own destiny," Kafka also retorted.
"My own destiny is really an unknown road," the Black Swan laughed.
…………
Here, two women are testing each other.
Omphalos' side
After Lao Yang said that they could ask for help, Aglaya and the others were still a little undecided.
It's not that they don't need help, but their previous requests have been rejected long ago.
They made a wish a long time ago when they knew that Qi Fu was a very powerful god. Their greatest hope was to eliminate the price of assuming the responsibilities of a Titan and turn them back into humans. So they first let Xia Die, who could not touch other people, make a wish to Qi Fu.
Xiadie hoped that she could touch life, but this wish fell on deaf ears. Qi Fu did not respond at all, and Qi Fu in the group seemed completely unaware.
Aglaya didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to ask in the group, but afterwards she asked Bai E and the others to make a wish, but Qi Fu still didn't respond.
So, in this way, they felt that Qi Fu was a little cold, but Qi Fu in the group did not seem like a cold person at all. Later, Wan Di was unexpectedly selected to be the referee, which also proved this point.
Therefore, they can only doubt one other thing, that is, are they not sincere enough?
But what constitutes sincerity? Wasn't it enough for Xiadie to vow never to harm another life? Wasn't it enough for Bai'e to avenge his hometown and his childhood sweetheart?
So these things were delayed.
They are already confused by not knowing what the Star God is in their own world, and many people don’t even know where Omphalos is. They also want answers to these questions, but how do they ask for the answers?
Who to ask?
Even if they asked for help, what if they asked where Omphalus was?
How should they answer?
I don’t know. How can they tell others where Omphalos is when they themselves don’t know where he is?
As for asking the system where Omphalos was, Aglaya had thought about it, but the system ignored her friend request.
I don’t know if the system looks down on them.
Besides, they are not in despair yet, they feel they can still do it.
So, just like that, these things are completely still.
"Although I think we need to make a backup plan, Mr. Qi Fu has never responded to our wishes, so this is something we still need to consider," said Aglaya, looking at the people around him.
These people were exactly the ones in the group. Of course, except for Na Kexia and Sai Feier, everyone else was present.
"I still say the same thing, if you want a wish, you have to pay a price, just like the price you have to pay after retrieving the fire," Wan Di said with his arms folded across his chest.
"But what among us is there that Mr. Qi Fu would like? I have tried to fulfill my vow by serving him for my whole life, but Mr. Qi Fu never responded to me," Xiadie said in a low voice.
"Diebao, the group has emphasized many times that Mr. Qi Fu is a god, but not a lustful god. Maybe it's due to other reasons." Feng Jin didn't think so.
"Could it be that the Sky Titan blocked our voices?" Bai'e thought of a possibility.
"This possibility is very high. After all, Sky Titan is the biggest obstacle preventing us from flying into the sky." Feng Jin thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible.
"So, are you going to shift your strategy from Conflict to the Sky? But I have to remind you that Nicardoli has been getting more and more crazy recently. If you temporarily change the progress of the strategy, you may suddenly suffer an attack from both sides. Moreover, the sky... is more dangerous and more unknown than the ground..." Wan Di whispered.
When everyone heard Wan Di's words, their expressions suddenly became gloomy.
That's right, the sky is more dangerous than the ground. In their original plan, the sky was basically the last thing to be considered, but if they want to deal with the price of becoming a demigod first.
The sky is where you have to go.
But if they attack the sky last as originally planned, there is a possibility that some of them will be killed first.
If they don't go, they won't be able to convey their voices to Qi Fu, and they don't want their affairs to be exposed to the public in the group.
After all, this is a major event that concerns their world, so how can they let others just watch the show?
For a long time, no one expressed any opinion and no one knew what to do.
Therefore, today's discussion can only be postponed temporarily as in the past.
…………
Meanwhile, Omphalos was in another place.
"Wow, I finally found a treasure from over a thousand years ago."
A pitch-black cat dropped its shovel and immediately dug the wooden box out of the pile of dirt.
As the cat excitedly opened the box, she discovered that the things inside were still well preserved and protected by plastic film.
This made her even more excited, but then she opened the plastic film and saw what was inside and was stunned again.
"Uh, what is this?" Maomao picked up a purple plastic stick with many strange bumps on it and looked at it repeatedly.
“It seems like there’s a button?”
The cat pressed it, but the purple plastic stick didn't respond at all.
"Is this broken?"
Because it was broken, Maomao looked at other things, but the more she looked, the more confused she became about what was in the box.
There were long, sticky objects that looked like parts of some living creature, and there were also strange sticky objects that looked like handcuffs, but none of them were made of iron or wood.
Although these things are very strange, Maomao actually saw a stone slab at the bottom.
Having a stone slab is a good thing. If it can be turned on, it is possible to know who the previous owner was.
So as the cat pressed the power button, surprisingly, it could actually turn on.
As the slate turned on, the slate's boot animation sounded, and it was a female voice that sounded a bit naughty.
"A gift for Her Majesty the Queen! Her Majesty, please enjoy it! Little Xilianliu... Hey hey!"
The boot animation just went by, and Maomao was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Queen? Could it be the queen from a thousand years ago?"
"Wow, I'm rich, I'm rich. This is a gift given to the Queen a thousand years ago, it must be worth a lot of money..." The cat was so excited that its ears and tail kept moving.
"But who is this little Xilian?"
"Oh, never mind. In that era, anyone who could see the Queen must have been an important figure. I'll take these things to someone I know to identify them and see what these strange gelatinous substances are."
So Maomao put the slate into his pocket first, then packed up the box, picked up the box and ran away.
