Chapter 629
Chapter 629
In a hall, soft light pours down through the colored glass windows.
Tibao, a cute creature with a figure like a child, was concentrating on organizing those documents and books.
Her bright red hair was tied up high, with a few strands playfully falling on both sides of her cheeks. Her hair was dotted with small white flowers, which trembled gently with her movements, emitting a faint fragrance.
The pair of small wings behind her fluttered slightly, and her hands moved back and forth between the yellowed books, carefully sorting and arranging them.
At this moment, she keenly noticed that Sanyueqi and Xing walked in.
Her blue-purple eyes, like the deep starry sky, lit up instantly, and a brilliant smile spread across her face, "Xing, March 7, why are you here?"
Tibao blinked, looking very cute.
But the little guy Mimi was restless and flew quickly to Tibao's side.
"(Mi Mi~)"
Then another sentence popped up, "This little doll can fly, but it's not as good-looking as me~"
Hearing this, Xing's body trembled violently and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
Fortunately, Tibao didn’t understand what Mimi said.
If someone heard me calling Tibao a doll, given Tibao's temper, she might pout in anger.
As for who is prettier, Xing thought to herself that Tibao and Mimi are both cute in their own ways.
Tibao has the innocence and cuteness of a child, and her lively appearance makes people love her.
Mimi exudes a sense of playfulness and is very cute.
If anyone dares to say that any of them is not good-looking, she won't agree.
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flooded into Xing's mind.
"Xing? What's wrong with you?" Sanyueqi looked at Xing who was in a daze, her face full of confusion. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Mimi said something strange?
"Ahem... nothing." Xing quickly came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and tried to cover up his gaffe, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Then he reached out and grabbed Mimi, whispering, "Don't talk nonsense!"
After she patted Mimi's head, she looked up at Tibao and said seriously, "Tibao, Aglaya asked you to take us to open the ladder passage."
Tibao was slightly startled, and she nodded gently, "So that's how it is. Aya actually made such a decision. Opening the ladder passage is not a trivial matter. We must prepare well."
"Before we set off, let me tell you about the Heavenly Ladder and the Netherworld."
Everyone sat together and Tibao began to tell the story in detail.
"The Heavenly Ladder connects the upper and lower worlds of Omphalos, and contains powerful but unstable energy."
"We spent a lot of effort to seal it. Once it is opened, the energy fluctuations will attract all kinds of dangers and may even cause some unknown disasters. The underworld seems peaceful and harmonious, but in fact it hides many unknown dangers."
"For example, those 'false gods' you mentioned earlier, they have ulterior motives and covet the authority in the lower world's temple. They want to obtain that mysterious power, become 'gods', come to the upper world, and disrupt the existing order."
"According to the ancient books, there is no mention of the underworld. Some Titan followers were exiled because of some crimes they committed and their memories were erased. The exile mentioned in the book may be the so-called underworld."
"This is what our Golden One checked."
"This matter has not yet been reported to the Senate."
"The Senate? What is that?"
"Also, are those 'false gods' in the lower world actually followers of the Titans?"
“But aren’t the Titan’s followers very weak? Aren’t they just made of stones and the Titan’s golden blood?” March Seven wondered.
Tibao nodded gently and explained patiently, "The Senate is an important power institution in Omphalos, with a long history and a respected status."
“It is composed of many respected and knowledgeable elders, each of whom has profound attainments and rich experience in their respective fields.”
"They are in charge of many affairs of the holy city, from the planning and construction of the city to the protection of people's livelihood, from the inheritance of culture to religious rituals, all of which are within their jurisdiction."
"At the same time, they also decide the direction of Omphalos' development. Every major decision is related to the fate of the entire Omphalos. However, the current situation is special. Due to a series of complex events and changes in the situation, the power is temporarily transferred to us, the Golden Race."
"Recently, one of the elders in the Senate is dissatisfied with what Aya has done."
"Oh~ I understand. The Senate is the bad guy, right?" March 7 said.
"Well...I can understand it that way."
"As for those 'false gods', they are indeed followers of the Titans."
"But they were once blessed by the Titans. It should be understood that they were exiled after committing mistakes and their life levels were taken away. After a certain period of time, their followers will be resurrected, and the price of resurrection is to erase their memories. This may be a special punishment imposed by the Titans in order to balance a certain force."
"As for how they know about the existence of the upper world, we don't know." Tibao shook his head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "The book does not mention everything about the lower world. There are still many mysteries about the lower world for us in the upper world."
...
Outside the holy city, there is an open area.
The seemingly ordinary ground actually hides a mystery. This is where the ladder connecting the upper and lower worlds is located.
Tibao, Sanyueqi and Xing stood around with focused expressions, waiting for the moment to open the passage.
Tibao was muttering something, and with a flash of mysterious light, the ground slowly cracked open, and a golden ladder extended directly downwards. The continent of the underworld was vaguely visible below, and a familiar yet unfamiliar breath rushed towards Sanyueqihexing.
However, at the moment the passage opened, the Titan's followers hidden in the nearby void seemed to be strongly attracted by something and rushed out one after another.
Their bodies were twisted, and a strange black mist emanated from their bodies. Their eyes were filled with greed and desire, and they seemed to want to run to the underworld at all costs.
Sanyueqi, Xing and Tibao's faces changed instantly, and they were ready to stop the actions of these Titan followers.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a brilliant golden light flashed like thunder, and Aglaya's golden thread instantly sealed the ladder below.
Those Titan survivors who were rushing forward frantically were instantly turned into dust and disappeared into thin air after touching the golden thread.
At the same time, Aglaya's thoughts reached Tibao's mind, "I will stop these followers, you leave quickly, and then reclose the passage. My master, you should relax today and follow them to the lower world to see the scenery. I will be here."
Tibao was slightly stunned, feeling both grateful to Aya and worried about this trip to the lower world.
But she quickly calmed down and said firmly, "Let's go."
The three of them quickly stepped onto the ladder and headed towards the lower world.
As they walked, the area around the ladder flickered with light, and behind them, the golden thread repelled the Titan followers who tried to approach one by one, ensuring that the three of them could reach the underworld safely.
When it reached the ground, Tibao flew into the air.
Her little face was tense and her expression was focused. She slowly pushed her little hands forward and muttered something. Her voice was soft but it seemed to carry some special rhythm.
As Tibao moved, something strange happened. The ladder became like a phantom, gradually becoming blurry, and finally disappeared into thin air.
And at the feet of Xinghe Sanyueqi, an ancient stone tablet appeared at some point.
After Tibao finished all this, he slowly flew back to the two of them.
"Okay, it's safe now. This stone tablet is the way back. As long as we activate it, the ladder will reappear." She pointed at the stone tablet and explained patiently.
"Strange, why are there no enemies in the lower world?" Sanyueqi looked around, his eyes full of confusion, "I thought that once I arrived in the lower world, I would face attacks from those 'false gods' or other forces."
"Hehe~ Of course that was Aya's method. Her clothing maker guarded this area, and the ladder was also subjected to special concealment methods. Even if it was a powerful existence, it would be difficult to detect the existence of the ladder without special perception abilities." Tibao said while gesturing in the air, trying to make the two understand more clearly.
"So of course there are no enemies. Let's go back to the temple~" As soon as he finished speaking, Tibao flew happily in front, leading the way for everyone.
Soon, the three of them returned to the temple.
The moment you step into the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is Xiaobu. She is busy working diligently, and the thing behind her is sweeping every inch of the temple floor with an "expressionless face", making a slight rustling sound.
"Madam, you are back." As soon as Xiaobu saw Sanyueqi and Xing, he immediately stopped what he was doing.
Her voice was crisp and echoed far away in the empty temple.
Not far away, Xiao Cui was sparring with the tailor. The fight was so lively that it attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing San Yueqi and the others coming back, Xiao Cui immediately stopped and shouted at the top of her voice, "That's all for today!" As she spoke, she patted the tailor's shoulder hard with a bright smile on her face.
The tailor said nothing, turned around and went to stand guard outside the temple.
"Madam, why are you back?" Xiao Cui was full of curiosity and ran to San Yueqi in a few steps. "What fun things are there up there? Tell me about it quickly!" She was an impetuous person, and as soon as she spoke, the originally deserted temple suddenly became lively.
"The world above is a mess. There is a large and magnificent holy city, as well as mysterious golden people and Titans. But there are also many troubles."
Xiaobu listened to them with curiosity in her eyes, "So this is what the world above is like. I really want to go up and take a look." Her tone was full of yearning, and she was full of expectations for a world she had never been to.
"But the master asked us to protect Mistress Liuying... I guess there's no chance for us to go up."
"By the way, why is the master gone?" Xiao Cui looked behind the three people and did not see Lin Yu.
"He...is injured and unconscious, and needs more time. We came down this time to talk to Liuying. There's only Xing and I up there, and we can't talk much with the locals. There's no news from Sister Ji Zi and the others..." March Seven was worried.
"The master is injured..." Xiao Cui looked a little depressed.
Xiao Cui originally didn't like the master-servant relationship very much, but Sisi, the "boss" among the three of them, trained her a little.
So Xiao Cui has become a little more well-behaved now, and Xiao Bu's originally cold and aloof personality has also become a little more lively.
At this moment, Xiao Cui suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped her head. "Oh, by the way, Miss Jizi and the others did not disappear. They were taken away by the Black Swan. As for where they went, I don't know. Anyway, they are no longer in this world. She said that this world does not need them for the time being."
“So that’s how it is… No wonder I couldn’t get in touch with him…” San Yueqi suddenly realized, and all the doubts in his mind instantly disappeared.
"Speaking of Black Swan, what about Sisi? They seem to have some connection?" March 7 asked.
"Sisi... went out to look for her memories, and comes back irregularly." Xiao Cui explained. When she mentioned Sisi, she couldn't help but recall the time when she was trained, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Okay..." March Seven nodded. Knowing that Ji Zi and the others were not in danger and just left Omphalos, he finally felt relieved and didn't have to worry about them anymore.
"What about Liuying? Is she asleep?" Xing asked.
"Mistress Liuying hasn't rested yet. She should be learning tailoring from Miss Linyue now. She said she wants to make a piece of clothing for the master's child." Xiao Cui explained patiently.
"By the way, what are these two things flying in the sky..." Xiao Cui said, raising her head and looking at Tibao and Mimi with curiosity.
"Tibao is a piece of shit!" Tibao shouted first.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Tibao is a thing..." Tibao got so anxious that he knew he had said something wrong the moment he said it, and he wanted to bite off his tongue.
“Hmm…” Tibao pinched her waist, her little face puffed up with anger, and she stared at Xiaocui below with some dissatisfaction.
"Tibao is of the Golden Descendant! As for Mimi, she should be considered Yi Ling." Xing hurriedly came out to smooth things over and explained patiently.
"Oh... the little thing is quite cute." Xiao Cui scratched her head, smiled embarrassedly, and stared at Tibao and Mimi. The more she looked, the more interesting she found them.
"Since Liuying is learning tailoring, let's go see her." Sanyueqi suggested, and Xing and Tibao nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Bu and I won't go. We still need to clean up this hall." Xiao Cui said. She looked at the place where she had just fought with the tailor and felt a little distressed. Why did she use so much strength...
Come to think of it, the clothing maker was so strong that no matter what he did, she always lost, or it was a tie. She had never won once. As for the tie... it was just that the other party let her win.
Hearing this, Sanyueqi and the others had no choice but to walk towards the direction where Liuying was.
The walls along the way were inlaid with glowing gems and candlesticks, illuminating the dim passage.
At this time, in the corridor, everyone saw him staring at the mural on the wall in a daze.
"Black Tower? You didn't go back?"
