Chapter 567 Success Doesn't Have to Be Mine
"Anyone who touches the spark! Whoever it is—disarm and surrender immediately!"
Suddenly, a fierce roar came from outside the door.
"As expected, they've come." Tirispius slowly rose to her feet.
She, who had desecrated the flame, had long anticipated this scene and had prepared for it.
She walked to the door and opened it herself.
"There's movement! Spread out, prepare—"
"The Holy Maiden...?"
The guards were all shocked when they saw that it was Tirispius.
"What's going on? Your Majesty, where is that thief who desecrated the fire?"
"Fool! Look at what's in her arms, she's the thief—"
"Line up! Set up your rifles! Reclaim the flame!"
"Wait, how could the Holy Maiden do such a thing? She is likely being framed."
The guards then realized that the Holy Maiden was the one who stole the fire, but some guards were still unwilling to take action because they did not believe that the Holy Maiden would do such a thing; there must be some misunderstanding.
But then Tirispyos said, "Let's do it."
The already fearful guards of the Holy City showed expressions of terror.
"What......."
"Holy Maiden? What is this...?"
Tirispeius continued, “Come forward, loyal guard, at least do this... pierce my chest.”
"What are you planning...?"
The guard, who had already decided the man was a sinner, said viciously.
"This is my last concession. If any of you want to achieve great things and rise to the top..."
“You all recognize me, and I’m right here—do it!”
Tirispius was completely at ease; she opened her arms without showing any fear.
"this....."
The guards looked at each other, seemingly unable to make a decision.
"But if any of you still have loyal guards, quickly make way for the saintess..."
"Otherwise, according to the Holy City's laws, anyone who is disrespectful to the Holy Maiden or even resorts to violence will be killed without exception!"
Tirispius's words immediately caused a commotion.
"Team leader... what do we do...?"
"This...this......."
"Do it... kill her!"
"Brothers who want a better life, follow me... kill this traitor and claim the reward with her head...!"
In the end, no one could resist the temptation and drew their swords against the former saintess.
Should we make a move?
Dan Heng, who was watching from the sidelines, asked cautiously.
Such a situation really makes you clench your fists.
"us....."
"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to do it!"
Before Tining could finish speaking, Bai E rushed forward in one stride.
He didn't care whether it would affect the outcome; all he knew was that he had to speak out against injustice.
"This..." Dan Heng was somewhat perplexed.
“It’s alright, I told you, they can’t see us,” Tining said.
"So, whatever we do won't affect the final result here."
"In real history, there were others who helped Tirispeius."
Hearing Tining say that, Danheng felt relieved.
He then threw the Cloud-Striking Sword directly out.
With a "bang," the clouds crashed down, and the cold-faced little green dragon made a dazzling appearance.
While Danheng and Bai'e fought against the guards, Little Eve remained unmoved.
"Aren't you going, little Eve?" Tinin asked.
"No, thank you." Little Eve shook her head.
"I would prefer to see history as it was originally."
"Only in this way can my memory remain accurate."
"After all, we are all witnesses here."
"Those who come to witness should be prepared to accept the regrets that cannot be changed."
Tinning fell silent.
"But even if things change, it won't affect the outcome at all; it's just a memory."
“Therefore, we must cherish this memory even more.” Little Eve smiled slightly.
"After all, there are many roads to the end, but the one you've taken will never be the same again."
"Then why didn't you stop them?"
"Because someone has to do it."
"Individual will is free; perhaps they are also a part of history."
Just as Eve and Tinin were talking, the battle over there had already ended.
Because the guardians in memory cannot see or sense them.
So they all thought it was the power of the Titans manifesting.
Before long, it ran away in a panic.
Tirispius also realized that someone seemed to be helping her.
"The road... is opening up for me."
“The Titan of Janus Gate... shelter me.”
"The main road must be guarded... What should we do?"
After escaping the guards, Tirispius encountered a new problem.
The road is blocked again.
But it was quickly resolved with the help of Danheng and Bai'er.
“Euronis, is that you?” Tirispius asked nervously.
But no one responded to her.
Tirispius could only continue forward, while Beaur and Danheng did their utmost to help her.
Finally, she arrived at the final destination.
However, what stood before her were two enormous beasts.
"A strange beast kept by the Holy City Guard? We were so close..." Tirispius clenched her fists.
"This should be the last battle; we have to get her out of this predicament."
"I know."
Danheng and Bai'e were ready for battle.
Little Eve, who had been observing from the shadows, began to have questions.
"Tining, I have a question."
"Who exactly helped Tirispius escape?"
"Although you evaded the previous questions by saying that memories can blur history, judging from the way you're chasing people all over the city, it doesn't seem like you have any allies..."
"If she did it all by herself, then in the process, the presence of Bai E and Dan Heng... wasn't it a bit too strong?"
Tinning remained calm and composed when faced with Eve's question.
“From the moment she entered the vault, Tirispius was all alone.”
"But what do we mean to her...? The answer to that question lies at the end of this memory."
“So, this isn’t just a memory, is it?” Little Eve keenly sensed something.
Ti Ning remained silent.
Having confirmed Tinin's attitude, Little Eve's resolve solidified.
This is not just a simple memory; it also contains other meanings.
Witnesses come to witness, and journalists are born to remember.
All of this is conscious of its existence.
On the other side, Dan Heng and Bai E successfully dealt with the two strange beasts.
Tirispius breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door, and walked into the open field.
Beyond the mountain stands the statue of Kefaller.
"Finally... behind this mountain gate lies a vast world."
"My journey will begin here."
“God of the Gate, are you watching me? The path you have not yet completed... I will finish it.”
Tirispius shouted towards the sky, but as expected, she received no response.
There's no response yet.
Janus... Sweet dreams.
"This place is not safe to stay any longer; it's time to go."
Seeing that Tirispius was about to depart, Bai'er and Danheng felt relieved.
At the same time, I am also slightly worried.
"It seems... the memories end here."
No, not yet.
Just then, Tinning and Little Eve walked over.
"Little Eve, that question that's puzzling you..."
She was about to give an answer.
"A perplexing question?" Bai E and Dan Heng exchanged a glance, neither knowing what had happened.
The two of them just stared at each other blankly.
"But nothing happened."
Little Eve watched Tirispius's figure gradually disappear into the distance.
Tinning remained silent.
"So, what is she, or rather you, hesitating about right now?"
"If she already knew that this journey to the fire, as the Titans had said, would indeed unleash a massive catastrophe, accompanied by countless sacrifices, including her own..."
Will she still pass through this door and embark on her journey?
Just as little Eve was asking her question, Tirispius suddenly stopped and turned around.
"I think......."
“You already know the answer and have made the decision yourselves.”
"What....."
"Tirisippius spoke?"
Little Eve wasn't shocked, but Bai Er and Dan Heng were startled.
"You... can you hear us?" Bai'er asked tentatively.
“No…” Tinning shook her head at this moment.
“She can’t hear or see us.”
"But she knew that one day, someone would come back here and unearth those long-forgotten memories."
"Who exactly offered help back then is now unknown."
"But this sentiment remains etched in our hearts, inspiring us to move forward—in order to stay true to our original aspirations, time has embellished this memory into a special letter."
“It was written by the past *Tilicipios* and sent to her future self.”
"In this memory, it is the future Tirispius who overcomes all difficulties for her and sends her on a long journey...to the tomorrow where *we* are."
"So, this is a prophecy, right?" Little Eve asked.
Let's just consider it a prophecy.
"But I think it's more about certainty."
"Because everything is inevitable, even knowing our fate, we will still do it."
Success doesn't have to be attributed to me, but I will definitely be a part of it.
Then, Tirispyos spoke up, "Yes...you will remember, and then make up your mind to help yourself return to the very first door."
"From here, I will embark on a long journey."
"From here on, you have embarked on a long journey home."
"The prophecy of fate revealed this to Tirispius: 'You will shatter into a thousand pieces and wither in a foreign land.'"
"So, if you feel lost, come back here. I left my initial wishes here, waiting for you—myself—to pick them up again."
“Don’t worry.” Tinning stepped forward.
"Although we have long been accustomed to loss, Tirispeius will never forget her determination and vows."
"None of us have ever forgotten."
"The pursuit of fire is a journey of constant loss, and in all of it, life is insignificant."
"The blood of the lamb will not be shed in vain, just as it has for my mother and me."
"The libation poured out will surely be reciprocated, just as my right hand, which grips the blade firmly, is not a mere formality."
"Having traversed the myriad gates of the Titans through the Gates of Janus, *we* will surely—"
"Riding the west wind, spreading our wings and soaring far away."
Little Eve already understood the beliefs of Tinin and Tirispius.
"So, this is your answer."
Tirispeius spoke: "That's right, in the name of the Three Fates: this is my answer, and I will not repent."
"Now, whether the gods are satisfied or not..."
"I will dedicate myself to the suffering of humanity."
Success doesn't have to be attributed to me, but I will definitely be a part of it.
"If I could truly break through the darkest point in the world..."
Let us reunite at the end of the fragrant west wind.
At this moment, in those memories.
[Year 3760 of the Light Calendar, Long Night Moon]
Tirispeius, the "Saint of Janusapolis," took on the fire to quell the chaos in the world and became a demigod of Janus.
She passed through the "Gate of a Thousand Paths," splitting into a thousand messengers who delivered the divine message of creation to the land of Onphalus.
After a century of arduous journey...
[Year 3870, Freedom Month]
Humanity's journey in pursuit of fire has officially begun.
Eve and the others who experienced this memory firsthand became the sole witnesses.
..........
Ohma, in the garden.
Tibo remained in front of Tian's doll, lingering there for a long time.
The same applies to the butterfly.
"Lady Tibo, do you still think... everything will be alright by tomorrow?"
Tibo nodded. "Yes, Tian would say the same thing."
"Excuse me for being offensive, but... Lady Tibo, you clearly know... that 'See you tomorrow' was just a white lie," Xia Die questioned.
"I don't want your strength to be just a forced smile and loneliness."
“Ah Die, that’s not a lie.”
"*See you tomorrow*... is the greatest prophecy in the world."
"A prophecy...?" Xiaodie asked, puzzled.
“Listen: On this land, at every moment, in every corner, there are people waiting for this prophecy to be fulfilled.”
"It may be just a few heroes who bring tomorrow to the new world. But the prophecy that leads everyone toward tomorrow belongs to every one of Onphalus."
"But not everyone has the chance to make it to tomorrow. How can such words be called prophecy?"
"Because people believe it will happen. People try to believe it will happen."
Even though the world is in such a precarious state now, everyone is still doing their best to go further and move towards tomorrow.
"And it is precisely for this reason that a saintly woman appears to guide people through their confusion, showing them where tomorrow lies—that is why Janusapolis's prophecy is presented in the form of a 'path'."
“Fate is not the result, but the process. It is not a flower that grows at the end of the road…”
"Instead, after stepping through the gate, people make their own paths toward the sea of flowers."
