 The Grove of Ephiphany, where knowledge flourishes and philosophers are born. Yet here stands Anaxagoras the blasphemer, the Chrysos Heir who challenges the Coreflame of Reason. He is questioned: Would you defy the prophecy even if you must bear infamy, and insist on driving the thorns of doubt into the Sacred Tree of wisdom?\\

 ==== Character Story: Part III ====
+//"**Sages of the Grove:**//
+//Regarding how some scholars accuse me of the three great sins, 'academic defamation', 'corrupting youths', and 'religious heresy', I don't intend to entertain their cheap tricks, nor will I bother defending myself. However, considering how this might allow everyone to better understand my research, I'll briefly explain it.//
+//According to them, I committed the sin of academic defamation when I publicly disparaged the classic research of Titan studies and parapsychology, claiming them to be 'a black tide of the academic world'. Answer me this: Was my evaluation incorrect? A study about whether Titans can stand on the head of a pin, and a study that posits the nature of souls as water. They persist until this day because of certain authorities. How is that any different from a mental black tide?//
+//I studied in the Grove since I was a child, and thoroughly understand that the revolution of ideas can only be achieved through criticism and suspicion. I encourage students to challenge my authority, and this is what they claim to be 'corrupting youths'. Take Phainon and Castorice for example, when they first began their studies, they were clueless about how to think and what logic is. Look at them now, they can render me speechless sometimes! If this is what it means to 'corrupt' youths, I cannot imagine what they regard as 'correct education'.//
+//As such, some individuals accuse me of having excessively close ties with the Flame-Chasing Chrysos Heirs, claiming that my theories help them seize the Coreflames. Indeed, I once consulted Tribios about lost history, and both of my most brilliant students happen to be Chrysos Heirs as well. And what of it?//
+//I am also what they call a Chrysos Heir, but I've never had blind faith in prophecies. If gods are truly the purest and most eternal beings that have ascended above the mortal world, then listen well, the world only has one god, and that is the indestructible truth! Only disciples of truth can continue on this path, and the authorities who proclaim themselves to be sages fear the fall of god.//
+//You suggested that both parties take a step back to deescalate the situation... My apologies, but I don't intend to do that. On the contrary, I would like to give a word of advice to those who wish to accuse me—//
+//The future world will understand me, and all of you who raise accusations against me should be more afraid than me when I await my verdict!"//

 ==== Character Story: Part IV ====
+//"Even up till today, I still disagree with that bizarre Flame-Chase Journey. However, there is one statement that left a deep impression — Losses are a constant on the Flame-Chase journey.//
+//I never believed that the Chrysos Heirs shared the same destiny, but I am undoubtedly also on the path of losses. Yet, I have not lost enough... In comparison to what I pursue, I have not lost enough to fulfill the law of equivalent exchange.//
+//After I proposed the theory that the nature of souls of Titans and humans are no different, and that souls are constructed from seeds of wisdom, I have been waiting for a chance to prove it once and for all... Now, the opportunity has presented itself! It came rather unexpectedly, but also right on time.\\
+Today, I can finally make up for the regret, akin to a calamity, from numerous years ago.//
+//I gained inspiration from death, and should repay as such.\\
+My body shall become the vessel to forge the Coreflames of gods, and my soul shall become the chains that force the gods to bow. That will become the ultimate evidence for my theory!//
+//I am incredibly happy now.\\
+I once smiled like this, when I first created a mechanical bird that could fly in the sky. My hands once trembled like this, when I developed a new life through incubation.//
+//My future students, if you see these words, it proves that my endeavor has failed at the final step, falling just before the break of dawn.\\
+Use my results to the fullest extent, and make me the subject of your research! Step over my body and take the torch from my hands. Use me as the firewood to ignite the flames that will bring light to the truth!\\
+Do not fear blasphemy—\\
+It is already a sin to transcend the gods, so what if you become a god!"//
