Chapter 556 Janusapolis
"Why is this old-fashioned man so stubborn?" Xing curled her lips. "The most important thing is to stay alive. Isn't there a saying that a good death is worse than a miserable life..."
"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
Jiang Fan rubbed his brows, feeling that his decision was wrong. Taking this guy out was more than embarrassing...
Tibao, who was accompanying him, wanted to say something but stopped himself, as if he was also shocked by Xing's shocking words. For a moment, he couldn't find a suitable reason to agree with him.
After following Bai E into the temple, Jiang Fan and the others realized that the area was not a completely deserted place. There were at least more than a dozen refugees hiding in the temple.
As early as the moment the carriage landed, Jiang Fan did have the idea of spreading his spiritual sense on Omphalos.
However, he inexplicably encountered some kind of obstacle, and his extended spiritual sense found almost nothing. He could only get faint feedback indicating that there was life nearby.
In fact, the effect of that obstruction was minimal, like a thin layer of membrane. It was not difficult to break it, but it would inevitably alert something, so he did not force it.
It seems that there is civilization in Omphalos, and it is very likely that there are multiple civilizations and multiple beliefs, just like the one in the temple in front of him, which is called a pedantic old man by Star, Nodus.
He claimed to be a priest of Janus, and was born like a bird without feet. He could not endure being trapped in one place. He could not endure losing his "freedom" more than being hunted by Nicardoli's soldiers.
But Virtus, the young man confronting him, disagreed. He thought that there was nothing wrong with his idea of asking the Golden People for help to go to the Holy City. He just wanted everyone to settle down and have a good sleep.
But now these simple words could not impress Nodus.
He didn't care about the crowd and said bluntly that if we lost our faith, we would lose everything. Could Ohma really accommodate us? The end of the world is approaching, and we are in danger wherever we are!
As Nodus spoke, his hunched back seemed to straighten up a lot.
He stared into Ohvirtus' eyes and said in a deep voice, "You can take those who want to leave, but the rest will stay in the temple and receive the blessing of the Gate of Ten Thousand Paths, Janus..."
After hearing this, even a fool like Xing had a preliminary understanding of Omphalos.
Omphalos must be in some turbulent era of war now. Nicadori's soldiers started a war, which indirectly caused the temple to become a ruin before its eyes.
Janus is a "god" of Omphalus, but now his temple has become a ruin and his followers are caught in an endless hunt.
Jiang Fan felt that Janus was probably in some kind of situation where he could not save himself, otherwise no god would accept the collapse or even destruction of his own religious faction.
Then there are the golden descendants mentioned by Nodus.
Xing reasoned that it might be the name of some kind of family or believers of God, but Jiang Fan felt that it might be some kind of bloodline, such as a special group with golden blood flowing in their veins.
Finally, there is the holy city of Ohma. If his guess is correct, it may be the last pure land of Omphalus.
Yalilo-6 was once ravaged by cold waves, and Beloberg is the last bastion for humans to resist the cold waves and the blessed place of Pramia...
Jiang Fan leaned against the pillar of the temple, and had a general understanding of Omphalos' situation and Bai'e's purpose.
Omphalos' situation was different from what he had imagined. It was on the brink of destruction, and the last pure land for mankind was the so-called holy city of Ohma.
The purpose of Bai'e's trip to this ruined temple was to bring the refugees here back to the holy city of Ohma. As for the purpose...
It could be responsibility, it could be kindness, or it could be some intention, but since the truth is not known yet, Jiang Fan is too lazy to make any assertions or speculations.
"I understand." Xing whispered, "It's similar to Beloberg's situation. One is a natural disaster and the other is a man-made disaster. Anyway, we are in the same situation. According to the script, are we also golden descendants? Saviors from outer space?"
Jiang Fan looked up at the dark clouds in the dome. Omphalos's situation was definitely not a simple man-made disaster. Even the so-called god Janus was unable to take care of himself...
At this time, the stubborn old man Nodus had already stood up and left.
Before leaving, he firmly believed that Janus would give him protection, and he also insisted on his own point of view. He was born to be a priest of the footless bird, so how could he trap himself in Ohma?
At the same time, he also hoped that the Golden Descendants would stop persuading him and allow people to choose their own destiny.
After hearing this, Xing sneered. He felt that this old man was a typical stubborn man who didn't know what it meant to listen to advice and have a full meal.
But at the same time, she also admired the old man a little bit, thinking that he was not afraid of life and death, and really had a bit of so-called "character".
"I'm sorry, Mr. Goldenborn, I made you laugh." Virtus sighed, and glanced at Jiang Fan and Xingshang who were standing by the pillar, "Excuse me, are these two also...?"
"They also came from afar, and they are travelers heading to the Holy City." Bai'e said softly, "I remember your name is Virtus, you can just call me Bai'e, what happened just now?"
Virtus hummed dully, a trace of loss and regret flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "We are priests of Janusapolis. Our hometown was destroyed by the army of the Titan of Strife, and we have been displaced all the way here."
The priest of Janusapolis? Xing suddenly remembered that the little guy who called himself Tibao had just introduced himself as Tibao of Janusapolis...
It turns out that she is also a priest of Janus... I just don't know what the difference is between Janus and Janusapolis, Xing thought secretly.
"A few days ago, I witnessed my companions die at the hands of those monsters. I was really devastated..." Virtus whispered, "So I prayed to Ohma. I thought the response would not be so fast. I thought I would have enough time to convince Mr. Nodus, but I didn't expect you all to come so quickly..."
Bai'e was silent for a while. In fact, according to the original plan, their progress was not so fast.
But the carriage was conspicuous enough, so in order to ensure the safety of Virtus and his group, they quickened their pace without stopping for a moment.
