I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"So this guy is Katniss's henchman?"

"In my memory, Lükelgos has long maintained neutrality..."

Xia Die carefully considered his words and found it difficult to reach a conclusion.

Aglaia, who was organizing the information about the gold threads, suddenly paused. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

"There is no trace of the spectators in Ohma. Rather than discovering that Katniss was arrested and fled, I suspect that he left quietly much earlier, most likely hiding a secret."

"Don't worry about him."

Hua Yi walked towards the Dawn Cloud Cliff.

"The current priority is to identify the core leadership of Ohma. The Golden Clan is working on the front lines, risking their lives to fight the Black Tide, and they deserve the full support of the people."

These words made Aglaia, Xia Die, and Ti Bao all look up, their expressions complex and indescribable.

"Do you still intend to emphasize the legitimacy of the Golden Descendants' power, rather than personally taking charge?"

Instead of being excited about gaining Hua Yi's support, Aglaia suddenly became anxious and uncertain.

Are you happy?

More tension.

The lone soldier from Suspended Peak clearly had ulterior motives, rushing out to curry favor with the Savior. In the end, he might very well want to bring Hua Yi to Suspended Peak City. Under these circumstances, Ohema's power still belongs to the Golden Blood, and he has fewer entanglements.

"We actually..."

"Heroes deserve the treatment of heroes. If those who step forward in times of disaster cannot gain the support of the people, then my thoughts will not be clear."

Hearing Hua Yi say this, Kiana and Ying smiled happily, thinking of many things from the past.

They're all happy endings~

Estelle, Bronya, and Yukong's eyes sparkled as they gazed at Hua Yi with eyes full of love, wishing they could just hug him.

Gui Naifen, Qingque, and the others, who had not yet achieved victory, were momentarily lost in thought.

When Hua Yi is in charge, his commanding demeanor and every gesture exudes a truly charismatic presence!

Only Xing was dull-witted.

"Why do I feel like you're the one who should be supported the most? If that's what you're saying, then the Citizens' Assembly should focus on you, consolidate power, and make all the decisions in Ohmma!"

"To put it more bluntly—I hope that situations like today, where someone jumps out to criticize the Golden Generation and the public remains unmoved and even follows the other party's line of thinking, will never happen again."

This is the true theme of the citizens' assembly.

Regardless of any voting or decision-making, Hua Yi has suppressed Katniss and the Senate, and criticized Aglaia; now it's the citizens of Ohma's turn.

Let them know who is bearing the burden.

Otherwise, once Onpharos embraces the cosmos, wouldn't any random Tom, Dick, or Harry come along, nitpick the Golden Clan, and cause trouble in Ohma?

The correct answer should be that the citizens rushed forward, acted bravely, and ganged up on the bad guys!

Chapter 717 Citizens’ Assembly

Dawn Cloudcliff is the closest point in Ohma to the Titans of the Necropolis.

When people stand here and look up, they can see the magnificent figure of the gods carrying light on their backs.

The city's hustle and bustle is isolated from Cloudcliff, and it is close to the Titan's sanctuary, exuding a sacredness that far surpasses any other building in Ohma.

In the past, only those who were invited, or elders of the Senate, or high priests of the Kefal, were qualified to be closer to the gods and become superior beings who were naturally established without further definition.

They listen to divine will, convey the message of “the world is ruined,” and have the right to interpret everything.

Naturally, Tibo, the saint of Janusapolis, came to Ohma to deliver the prophecy about the re-creation of the Golden Blood, which was tantamount to dividing the power of the Senate and the priests.

The priests of Kephale raised legitimate questions and discussed the accuracy of the oracle, while the Senate suddenly introduced the system of citizen assembly, declaring that the power of Ohma belonged to the citizens, not to any particular Goldenborn.

That year, the Senate became famous and was once regarded as a saint by the citizens.

The Golden Descendants, on the contrary, seem to have ulterior motives.

People were extremely excited, all believing they would receive the honor of attending the citizens' assembly at Dawn Cloud Cliff, or even listening to the divine revelation of "Bearing the World".

Unfortunately, they later realized they were wrong.

Only dignitaries invited by the Senate are allowed to set foot on Dawn Cloud Cliff; the rest, even the priests, are restricted.

Then came the clashes between Aglaia and the Senate, the struggle for genuine citizen representation, and the rampage of the Black Tide, as Onphalos gradually sank into the apocalyptic quagmire—

Many things happened over the years, and Aglaia and Tibo were heartbroken.

"Mr. Hua Yi, what you wish to convene is surely a meeting of all citizens, isn't it?"

Aglaia asked softly.

"Although the Demigods' Council is large, it is not enough to accommodate all citizens. I can use the net of ten thousand golden threads to broadcast your thoughts live."

"it is good."

Hua Yi convened the citizens' assembly not specifically to hold a vote on whether to continue the journey to the fire, or even to judge whether the future depicted by the oracle met people's expectations.

Indeed, the prophecy of re-creation is obscure and difficult to understand. The mere fact that the Golden Descendants killed gods and paid the price by bearing divine power does not meet Hua Yi's standard for a beautiful story.

However, publicly stating that the oracle was not perfect would damage the prestige of the Golden Clan.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Priests, guards, and representatives of various factions of citizens, including refugees from other castles, have gathered at Dawn Cloud Cliff.

The large crowd surrounded the open-air plaza-style demigod council in layers, yet there was no noise whatsoever.

The citizens simply looked at Hua Yi with awe, waiting for him to announce the contents of the meeting.

Meanwhile, the isolated army, along with the [Gateway] believers who had previously received Hua Yi's protection, and some priests who believed Hua Yi to be the [Sky] messenger, tensed up and secretly observed the entire scene.

Anyone who dares to disrespect Hua Yi will be the first to be punished.

"Ms. Aglaia, please announce the crimes committed by the Senate first."

Hua Yi did not appear arrogant, and still used "Ms." as a suffix instead of simply calling her by name, giving this leader of the Golden Generation ample face.

Another detail.

Aglaia felt conflicted, but she tried to maintain a serious expression as she spoke loudly.

"The Senate under Katniss's leadership was keeping assassins, intending to kill all the opposition at some point."

"!"

"In order to seize more resources, the Senate withheld rations that should have been distributed to refugees, and plundered the wealth of merchants and vendors under the guise of taxation. The following people can serve as witnesses: Demeter, the fruit and vegetable stall owner, and Aphrodite, the tailor shop owner..."

Aglaia gave a specific name.

Even a rough estimate, simply selecting representative witnesses from different commercial districts within the city, would cover an alarmingly vast area.

The attendees gasped in surprise.

As a result, Aglaia's announcements continued.

"The Senate also screens those who seek help from Ohmma. All refugees who are inclined to the Golden Clan are ignored and the news is suppressed. Even if I learn the truth through the Golden Thread and want to send soldiers out of the city to rescue them, I will be obstructed by the Senate."

Aglaia spoke the truth word by word, revealing secrets unknown to the public.

“Take the tribes that believe in the ‘path’ as an example, and the Senate will do everything in its power to obstruct their rescue.”

“Even if the Golden Descendants personally came out of the city to meet them, and Mr. Hua Yi then settled them in the Ark, the Senate still tried every means to suppress them.”

"This is Katniss's order, requiring the assassins she secretly trained to steal the high-yield crop seeds given by Mr. Hua Yi, and to forcibly requisition the mature crops that the [Gateway] tribe has worked hard to cultivate in the name of the greater good of Ohema, without paying half a Liheng coin."

Aglaia listed a series of crimes.

Too numerous to recount.

Especially in a post-apocalyptic setting, this disregard for the lives of ordinary people is nothing short of a crime against humanity! (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

As for the Senate's true purpose in training assassins—to kill the Golden Blood—Aglaia only mentioned it briefly.

She had a scale in her heart. If the Senate could really do something good for the people, even if it was just for show, and the price was a constant stream of assassinations against her, it would be worth it.

Unfortunately, the Senate really didn't do much of a good job.

Even so, Aglaia still restrained herself and did not directly slit Katniss's throat with the golden thread, which only shows that the Katniss of the past were even more insane.

Because Hua Yi had previously sparked public reflection, some truths are now obvious to people without Aglaia explicitly stating them.

"~How awful..."

"Kainese is attempting to overthrow Ohmar; her crimes are heinous, she deserves the death penalty, she must be executed!"

The sentiment is exciting.

The citizens gritted their teeth, their faces flushed, and occasionally raised their fists in protest.

"Yes, even if an even crazier Katniss appears later, everyone keep an eye on her. If you spot that name, report it and have her arrested!"

"What if there's someone with the same name? It could affect innocent people."

"With Lady Aglaia's golden thread, we can definitely find out the other party's background and will never wrong an innocent person."

The trial of Katniss and her associates has concluded.

death penalty.

Public respect for Aglaia has increased once again, and there is strong belief in her impartiality.

The Senate was committing crimes, while Aglaia continued to do things to minimize the negative impact.

Just like the plea for help from the believers of the [Gateway], even though the Senate suppressed the news and hindered the mobilization of troops, Bai'e and Tibo still went out to avoid the bad consequences (of the king).

"It seems that you citizens have a deeper understanding of the current situation in Ohmma."

After carefully listening to Aglaia's account of her crimes, Hua Yi stepped forward.

Even with countless gazes directed at him, Hua Yi remained calm and composed, his subtle aura of authority quickly silencing everyone.

The parliament fell silent.

“The vendors who were taxed extra may have complained and denounced the Senate’s evil deeds; those Gentiles who were targeted and escaped their predicament only through the Golden Family should also have a sense of right and wrong.”

Upon hearing this, many people lowered their heads in shame.

Being oppressed by the Senate and then protected by the Golden Clan—that's a fact, but I...

"Half an hour ago, Katniss jumped out to accuse Aglaia, and you didn't say anything, but instead became suspicious."

Hua Yi looked around the room, and no one dared to meet his gaze.

"The strong protect the weak, and the noble sacrifice themselves for ordinary people. This is the wishful thinking of heroes, who do not ask for anything in return. But—fellow citizens, is there really nothing you can do?"

Chapter 718 The Poem of Onphalus

With a slight thought, Hua Yi caused a holographic projection to appear out of thin air in the Demigod Council, clearly showing the scene unfolding in Suspended Edge City.

The Titan of Conflict, Nikkadori, held his spear high, wielding divine power, and strictly instructed Bai'e and Wan Di, following Hua Yi's instructions before leaving.

It incorporates the true meaning of "conflict" into every strike, honing the Golden Bloodline in actual combat.

Even in sparring or practice, Bai E was repeatedly knocked away, looking disheveled, while Wan Di still bled profusely, relying on his immortality to fight against the Titan.

With clear advantages and disadvantages, human warriors relied entirely on their willpower to hold on, launching charge after charge against unimaginable opponents.

The sound also evoked tears?? Easy to hear?? The sound spread with the holographic projection.

Each violent collision produced a deafening roar that reverberated through the hearts of everyone in Ohmma.

"The gods give humanity trials, hoping they will grow and gain greater power—what do you think the Golden Blood intend to do with this power?"

Hua Yi's words were not drowned out by the fierce battle and resonated throughout the city.

"Should we oppress you with our power, or should we fight against the Black Tide and throw ourselves into a dangerous battlefield? I think you know the answer yourselves."

"Yes, yes..."

The crowd responded faintly.

Simply put, the projected images were incredibly clear, showcasing the Titans' immense power and the indomitable spirit of the Golden Warriors, challenging everyone's inner conscience.

"Aglaia's concerns about Caenis were essentially for the sake of all citizens; Tibo and the others traveled throughout Onpharos, experiencing countless hardships; and Xiaodie, whose life was intertwined with death, faced an extremely heavy fate."

“The Golden Clan is born extraordinary and seems destined to dedicate their lives to Onphalus until the very end.”

"So, citizens, do you think this is the right way to do it?"
