Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 466 If there is only one road ahead...

Changye Yueyan watched as Yunzhi sent a message to his friends on March 7th, calmly instructing them to search for the star core...

She admitted that she wasn't quite sure how the transition to the star core occurred.

Yun put down her hand and continued to unilaterally cut off contact.

Why do I feel like there's a star core here?

Changyeyue couldn't help but ask the question.

She hadn't even considered the possibility of a star core—after all, this place was already so chaotic, what if she added some seasoning called "star core" to it...

Even Changyeyue didn't know how to describe Onpharos.

After all, Xing didn't actually hear the sound of the star core.

"Some people can really make a lot of money out of star cores."

Yun called Lie to his side, then mounted his horse.

"Want to go together? March really likes Retsu."

He reached out his hand to Changyeyue.

Chang Yeyue's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation, she grabbed Yunzhi's hand and jumped onto the horse.

The sturdy warhorse easily carried the weight of the two men—luckily, both of them were rather thin.

"And the two of them..."

Chang Yeyue looked behind her at Shi Xia and Feng Jin.

Yun raised an eyebrow:

"Can't that pony take them with it?"

Kazejin: ? ? ?

Little Ika: (°Д°)?

You're making things difficult for me!

At that moment, Xia glanced at Little Ika, then helplessly crossed her arms:

"It's obvious that the child can't even handle Feng Jin."

Unbelievable Clouds:

"I've seen a red bird ball carry a strong young man. You two, a little girl and a frail... academic, shouldn't be unable to carry each other, right?"

Little Ika, at least... judging from the data, is quite robust.

Chang Yeyue couldn't help but chuckle: "Obviously not, True Lord, Little Ika's wings are too small."

Moreover, although Feng Jin was a little girl, Xia was by no means a weak academic at that time.

"All right."

Yun snapped his fingers, and the reins extended, gripping the edge of the platform.

Lie snorted, stomped his horse's hoof, and flew into the air.

—And then the entire platform that had been locked up was easily pulled out by it.

The moment Xia and Feng Jin stood on it, they swayed along with the trembling platform, but quickly regained their balance.

Without looking back, Lie gracefully pulled the platform and hopped and skipped towards the floating structure not far away.

Little Ika flapped her little wings with a "dudu" sound, extremely happy.

The equipment on both sides flickered with strange light. Chang Yeyue looked at the archives and sighed:

"In fact, choosing the easiest path is best for all of us—although you are prepared to gain an advantage, how difficult it is for Onphalus to create the world!"

Becoming a real world is certainly not just empty talk, but it's impossible to do it without putting in any effort.

After all, the concept of "balance" is being observed.

On His scales, if one cannot pay a price equal to it, Onphalus is nothing more than a computer.

What price will be paid?

We can't expect them to make the sacrifices, can we? It has to be the locals of Onfaros who do it, right?

"You pity those two for their sacrifices, but haven't you considered that they might be the ones who paid the price for Onphalus's creation?"

The moon's laughter was eerie and sinister throughout the long night.

Yunzhi could probably understand the meaning of "Long Night Moon".

—Yun Zhi did not destroy Onfaros directly at first because someone inside was trying to buy time, and he wanted to give these people a good ending.

But no matter what people say, death is not something to be romanticized, and death is certainly not a good ending.

"Who knows? Creation will never come without a price; it's just a matter of whether one can afford it."

Yun said nonchalantly, "Don't look at me like that, I don't have such high morals, it's just..."

Paying a small price within one's means is really not a big deal, right?

The warhorses galloped past and soon arrived in front of the floating building.

The platform behind it was precisely wedged into another elevator shaft.

Do you know where this is?

Yun wanted to ask about the name.

Changyeyue replied, "The first time I came here, I heard the sound of a scepter—to be precise, I heard the sound of a scepter on March 7th—it called this place the 'Demyoga Matrix'."

The Song of Demosis?

That's a really nice name.

"The outside world calls the Great Lord of Annihilation who targets [Intelligence] 'Iron Tomb,' and the administrator here thought the code name was good, so they used it."

Yun Zhi stepped forward, ignoring the closed door, and raised his hand...

The door opened automatically.

"Guess if the administrator knows this name?"

He asked with a smile.

Changyeyue held up her small umbrella, seemingly hesitating for a moment whether to fold it up, but still didn't do so.

"I don't think it knows, otherwise, would it have tolerated me here for so long?"

"...Didn't you just tell them to forget about it?"

Forget the uninvited guest who unexpectedly got involved, forget the tomb of this nameless Titan... I wonder if Rigdowski will stubbornly insist that he deliberately forgot about it.

After walking through the long corridor, Yunzhi looked at both sides.

...Some damaged archives were scattered carelessly on the ground.

Not wanting to delve into how those archives appeared in other people's eyes, Yunzhi quickly walked to the center of the matrix.

The sign of Onphalus came into view.

"Just set a fire here—"

Chang Yeyue walked beside him, her expression gradually turning crazed: "As long as there's a bang... everything can end. That way, whether it's the Milky Way, the train, or March 7th, everyone can live happily ever after."

indeed.

Xia watched silently at that moment.

From his own perspective, he would certainly object.

But he didn't know how to refute it for the time being.

After all, he couldn't see the world from the perspective of an outsider.

Feng Jin looked worried. She seemed to want to say something, but in the dead silence, she couldn't say anything.

"True Lord, if there is only one path ahead, you—"

Chang Yeyue conjured a die in her hand, which spun around and its six sides, which were originally different, all turned into the same color:

"What will you do?"

On the Cloud Train, everyone can stop and admire the stars, but time will not allow them to linger.

Changyeyue awaited Yunzhi's reply.

I don't know what she saw that made her ask such a question.

Yun smiled.

He also raised his hand, and another die appeared in his hand:

"If there is only one road ahead leading to darkness—"

"Then destroy all obstacles, aim for the best possible outcome, and create a new path."

The dice spun, turning into countless points of light that scattered away.

"—The closest path to a better life is another one."
