Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 497 The Journey of Chasing Fire

Onpharos, the Marble Palace.

Aglaia approached the star with its eyes closed.

The golden thread in her hand was slowly climbing up Xing's body.

"Although my profession is weaving exquisite garments, in my private time, my favorite place is this bathhouse. Ultimately, clothing is a barrier, concealing one's body and soul..."

"But here, we can let go of our pretenses; the flowing water will bring us closer."

"Now you can open your eyes, Star."

Xing opened her eyes and saw the golden threads wrapped around her body, but she wasn't surprised; on the contrary, she was quite calm.

"Look, we are now connected."

"But you weren't surprised at all."

Although Aglaia couldn't see, she could clearly sense Xing's emotions.

Calm, indifferent, even cold.

She was not surprised at all by this action.

“You still seem to have doubts about us,” Xing said directly.

“I’m sorry, I know this is rude, but I have a responsibility to all the people of Ohm.” Aglaia’s tone was very heavy.

I hope you can understand.

"The golden threads of the Romantic Titan Meneta bind us together, and they can detect the slightest wavering, so that we cannot lie to each other."

"Next, I will tell you the truth about this world. In return, I need you to make a small promise."

"Only after this exchange is completed can I promise you a smooth journey in Onfaros."

Aglaia gripped the gold thread tightly in her hand, unaware that she was trembling slightly.

“What if I can’t make that promise?” Xing asked.

"Did you feel it? The golden thread rippled. It tells me that you still have a slight doubt about Ohmma's sincerity, and I must dispel that doubt..."

Before Aglaia could finish speaking, Xing flicked the golden thread, causing it to instantly collapse and break, turning into wisps of golden light that dissipated into the pool.

“This…” Aglaia was very surprised; she hadn’t expected her golden thread to break like this.

"Go on."

“I want to be on equal footing with you,” Xing said, looking at Aglaia with an unquestionable tone.

"I can guarantee the truthfulness of what I say, and I hope you can as well."

"Mutual trust is essential; threats are unnecessary."

Aglaia remained silent for a long time before nodding.

"I can agree to that."

"Just now, the bath fairies told you the legend of Onpharos, but they were unwilling to reveal the cruelty beneath the legend."

"The Titans who once ruled the world have now become the cause of the corruption of Onpharos. Some unknown force has altered most of them, attracting wrath and madness."

"Now, the Black Tide has swept across the world, and the earth has sunk into eternal night. Only Ohma, under the protection of the Titan Kephale, who has tarnished the world, retains the last glimmer of light."

"The Golden Blood gathered here are humanity's only hope. People revere us as heroes, guardians, saviors..."

"We hope that we will defeat the gods, seize fire, and pull the gods' authority from their thrones and bring it into the hands of mankind."

"When all the sparks are gathered, the miracle of creation will be revealed, and the broken world will be reborn."

"This is Onphalus's journey to seek fire—'A group of heroes embark on a journey to slay gods, obtain the twelve sparks of fire, and achieve the great feat of recreating the world.'"

"We are in the midst of the apocalypse, and we still need to guide millions of people to the top of the mountain. Ohmma urgently needs more allies to become our solid support."

"Perhaps you are the 'reinforcements' the Golden Clan has been waiting for."
