Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 492 The Citizens' Assembly Begins

Although the little earth beast can't do as much as the adult earth beasts, it's cute enough.

Xing loved this earth beast so much that she wanted to pick it up and take a bite.

However, it didn't work.

It's not that she didn't try.

But Teacher Xia saw it at that moment.

The result was predictable. Of course, Xia wouldn't actually do anything to Xing at that moment; she just made a few sarcastic remarks.

Faced with the teacher's authority, Xing chickened out.

For the next fifteen days, Star did missions in Ohmma and even in the places where he had anchored—Star liked to help others to obtain something.

Although she sometimes speaks in a somewhat abstract way, she has really been a great help.

Hmm... Putting aside helping people elope, is it really appropriate to help that couple escape from Ohma, which was under Jinzhi's protection?

Regardless, the parties involved all felt there was no problem.

When the next fifteen doors were opened, Xing fed the Earth Treasure until it was round and plump, washed it until it was shiny and smooth, and taught it to be clever and quick-witted.

Putting aside everything else, whether it's restoring the museum to operation, revitalizing the old alley, repairing the cinema, or now taking care of the Earth Beasts, Xing is truly gifted.

The Earth Beasts thrived under Xing's care.

It is said that Xing once had a dream in which her earth beast grew as tall as Kefal.

So the residents of Ohma unanimously decided to let Kefal come down and let him head the ball.

Xing told Yun Zhi and Dan Heng about this dream.

Dan Heng said that it might actually be possible, if they could modify the scepter data.

Yun waved his hand to indicate that it was impossible, because the Dawn Machine carried by Kefaller had become one of the important codes. Changing it would have a ripple effect and might even cause some strange reactions.

Moreover...

Although we can't see it, I'm sure this little one is still very cute.

After all, this is a little kid who will call him "Grandpa".

—Now there are even more reasons to let Onphalus pass through his tribulation safely, aren't there?

Although the star is peaceful and tranquil in this secluded corner, the interior of Ohma is far from as serene as it appears on the outside.

Xing, whose political sensitivity fluctuates between being quick and slow, could hardly notice the turmoil unfolding within Riohema over these fifteen days.

She is completely obsessed with raising her baby.

Dan Heng, on the other hand, was overly cautious. Perhaps it was because he had been a dragon lord in his previous many lives and had worked too many jobs, but he kept his distance from politics.

The seventh day of the third month and the long night moon need no further explanation.

After all, the "darkening" aspect of becoming "three points stronger" generally manifests in strength, not in becoming smarter simply by changing one's color.

As a result, while everyone was speculating about how the distinguished guest from outer space would bring about changes in Ohma...

Of all the extraterrestrial visitors, only one was interested in this kind of thing.

And they look forward to the arrival of the citizens' assembly.

For the Senate and the Golden Clan, who were already at the center of the storm, this Citizens' Assembly was also different from the past.

First, the Antikythera man, Lycus, the "celebrant of the gods," who had been serving as the chairman of the council, disappeared without a trace, and the Senate nominated a new person.

Logically, they should be neutral, but Katniss has quite a few followers, so the parliament president's request for neutrality is basically just empty words.

On the Golden Descendants' side, Aglaia knew that Xia and Yunzhi seemed to have reached a consensus with the Senate.

On the Cloud's side, Aglaia wasn't worried. He felt pity for Onfaros, but also had a strong possessive desire.

In terms of politics, Yun Zhi does not help the Golden Descendants, so he naturally doesn't care about the Senate. He might even think that the Senate, the controller of Onfaros, would be an obstacle to him.

As for that Xia Ke, that great performer...

Actually, there's no need to worry. Yun Zhi and Na Ke Xia have a good relationship, and Aglaia has seen them whispering together more than once.

In short, these two are definitely not allies of the Senate; they have probably already set a trap for the Senate.

Before the citizens' assembly convened, everyone was acting in secret.

However, now that things have come to this, whoever has the bigger fist will have the upper hand.

----------------

On the day the Citizens' Assembly convened, Xing finally abandoned her adorable Earth Beast cub and followed Bai E to Dawn Cloud Cliff.

Aglaia was already waiting at the entrance to the Council of Demigods.

Xing could see that the open-air meeting place of the Demigod Council was already packed with people. Considering the empty streets of Ohmma now, Xing felt that the Citizens' Assembly was probably well-deserved of its name.

It really was a "citizens'" assembly.

Several things also happened during these fifteen days. For example, Wan Di passed the Fire Seed Trial and, after announcing the end of the Suspended Blade Dynasty, went to the front line alone to fight against the Black Tide.

The people of Suspended Peak City had lost their homeland and had hoped that their crown prince would lead them back.

Unfortunately, that place has been almost completely destroyed by the Kuroshio Current.

That place ultimately became a hometown I could never return to.

Wan Di went to the front lines, actually so that his people could integrate into Ohma as soon as possible.

This is a very long process, after all, for so long, Suspended Peak City and Ohma have been in a state of hostility.

Not long ago, Xing helped an adventurer named Jason at the gates of Ohma City—although he was self-proclaimed. At that time, the poor man and his earth beast companion were being attacked by the Conflict Familia. When Xing went over to help, he heard the Familia muttering the name "Paris".

Jason's treasures were stolen by his family, and he asked Hoshi to help him retrieve them. Hoshi also learned a story from this.

It was a story with a less than happy ending. A Titan's familiar fell in love with a human man, who brought her to Ohmar and helped her integrate into the holy city. However, the familiar's appearance was too ordinary, and soon the enemies of Suspended Peak City impersonated her and entered Ohmar. In that war, Ohmar suffered heavy losses.

Her retinue shielded Ohma from wave after wave of attacks, but Ohma did not welcome her return. As for the human man she had fallen in love with, he had already fallen for another woman and fled with a woman of high status.

Later, her family members, in a fit of madness, killed her lover.

Xing herself was not satisfied with this ending.

But she also knew that a weapon born for killing was pulled out of the vortex of battle by a selfish, cowardly, and incompetent man, and then given a heart by the Ohma people, so its final fate was only tragedy.

What that man loved was nothing more than the thrill of falling in love with a woman from an enemy country and the so-called romance of "overcoming all difficulties".

They are nothing compared to the young couple she once helped.

But decades have passed, the family members have turned to dust and disappeared, the dynasty of Suspended Peak City has perished, and these stories have been recorded by the stars.

Perhaps this will become a bestselling story in the future.

she thinks.

Now, back to the present, the Citizens' Assembly is just around the corner.

Xing had already seen Yunzhi waving at her from the Demigod Council.
