Live Q&A: I am the Star God of Heaven

Chapter 956 Prisoner, stepping through the shadow of the sun to see the deep sea 4

Cerydra: "I cleansed the filth of the Golden Wars and healed the divisions of the Age of Strife. I restored the authority of Ochma, allowing mortals and Goldenborn to stand equally on the Senate platform. I punished all sins and praised all merits...

It was I who broke the shackles of Taranton, united the world to save itself, and ushered in the Age of Fire. These few words sum up Caesar's glorious life. So now, listen carefully to my final words. History will one day forget Cerydra, but it will never forget Caesar's people—and the Age of Fire she ushered in!

"Last words..." Heather was shocked when she heard it.

"Omphalus is on the brink of destruction, and there is no room for meaningless debate. For this battle of salvation, I will overturn only one law, and sacrifice only one demigod. Helecyla, in the name of Caesar, I command you for the last time.

Die for conquest, or plunge your sword into the tyrant's breast."

"So, Caesar completed his final speech. At the final moment of his life, as he ascended to the altar, he entrusted the decision of his fate to his most loyal subjects, just as he had sworn an oath to his compatriots when he first stepped onto the battlefield."

"I have distributed the golden blood to you. Now, my brave compatriots, follow me and become the masters of your own destiny!"

"Caesar fell. Some say the Sword Banner Lord truly fell into regicide and treason; others say she imprisoned the tyrant in shallow water and left alone—so that he would end his own life in order to rewrite the law...

Accounts of her death abound. Now, all we know for sure is that as the Knights departed from the Maelstrom, Caesar still whispered of their past conquests... where her life began and ended."

At this moment, memories flooded back, and Labienus' voice appeared: "No, Caesar! You are so noble, how can you go to the front line in person? Let me be the standard-bearer--"

Cerydra: "Have the defenders of the western pass of the Tree Court surrendered?"

"As soon as they heard Caesar's reputation, they fled. Golden Cocoon Pass has now been handed over to the First Legion."

"Very good. Where are the Doros guerrillas?"

"The Third Legion started a wildfire two days ago. The western part of the basin has been razed to the ground. In just a few days..."

"That's enough. Opportunities are fleeting, and we can't wait. Finally, how many Ladon artillery batteries are left?"

"They no longer exist—the Second and Fourth Legions have completely wiped them out!"

"Excellent! Now they have no escape route, no reinforcements, and no firepower. Our army will be able to quickly liberate the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden. The final command will be immediately after the closing hour tomorrow. Remember, as long as the Alliance flag on my shoulder remains standing, you must not give up your advance."

"Enemy soldiers will be executed on the spot, and any philosophers who resist will be escorted back to the camp and dealt with according to military law. Also, the collection of books must not be destroyed—go, inform the entire army!"

"Yes! The dead salute you!"

Starry Sky Railway March 7: "Could this... be a memory of Caesar's conquests?"

Dan Heng of Starry Sky Railway: "Be more confident, that's it. However, it seems that Caesar has chosen to declare war not just on one force, but on the entire world."

Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "He's directly declaring war on all of Omphalus' forces. It seems Caesar has absolute confidence in his army."

At this time, Seneca came to report: "Report! The people of the mountain are resisting fiercely. The legendary founder of the mountain has arrived in person, and their battle formation is impenetrable..."

Cerydra: "Then there's no need for a direct assault. Send scouts to each legion, ordering them to retreat from the Chamber of Sorrow to the Plains of Tretos."

"What...are you planning to surrender?"

"This is a strategic shift. The ground-shaking Fulong is enough on the front battlefield."

"Fulong... Huangdi, that stupid earth beast? What can it do?"

"Foolish? No, it is the wisest of all Gioria's creations, and only it can see the direction of the times. Let it take care of its fellow earthlings! We must march quickly and be the first to defeat the remaining enemies...

We must exact the most scorching revenge on the enemy's income and crown ourselves with the laurels of godslayer!"

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away. The deceased salutes you!"

Starry Sky Railway Na Ke Xia: "How dare you call the Earth Beast a stupid Earth Beast! Are you tired of living?"

Starry Sky Railway Bai'e: "Teacher, calm down. She's already dead."

Star Dome Railway Na Ke Xia: "She's dead, so she must be in the undead space. Seneca, get out of here!"

Seneca of the Undead Space: "What are you doing?"

Next, the two of them had a verbal fight that spanned the space. Of course, because the words were too intense, the system blocked them.

Apollonius came to report: "Caesar, a letter has arrived from the Triumvirate of Fate."

Virginia: "They refused to surrender and said that this reply would serve as an ultimatum to us."

"Heh..." Cerydela sneered after hearing this. "Go, tell the commanders that without Caesar's personal written order, they must not launch an attack without authorization, or they will be killed without mercy."

Virginia: "What...what does this mean?"

"The priests of the Triple Aspect of Fate are not soldiers, but politicians. Don't assume they are resisting blindly. These dying rats will dwell on their own shortsightedness, becoming far more shrewd than their enemies.

I'm not as good as them—besides, the Oracle is also their war machine. I don't have that kind of luck. Someone starting a war would only put us at a disadvantage, and every move would be judged by everyone in Omphalos...

So, as usual, I will go in person. But this time, I will go in alone and use a secret negotiation to put fate on our side."

Apollonius: "Yes, the legions will also be ready at the same time, to pay tribute to you as the dead!"

Aglaia: "Caesar, why are we not included in the list of those going to war?"

Cerydra explained, "This is a one-way voyage. You, the bearers of the oracle, are not permitted to go along."

"If this battle is bound to be lost, why do you go out in person? The Fire Chaser cannot be left without a leader..."

"Yes, with Caesar's fall, the empire will be leaderless. But remember, as long as you can seize the opportunity, chaos will not become a crisis. My departure will become a stepping stone for you - when the news of my fall spreads, you will eventually understand this truth."

Fate Artoria: "For every battle, she gave the most accurate orders. Cerydra is truly a military genius."

Celestial Railway Cerydra: "Of course. I'm Caesar. Without military talent, how could I possibly conquer all of Omphalus?"
