Chapter 662 The Interstellar High-Speed ​​Railway
Two days passed.

The lockdown on the Great Zhou Haojing Royal Palace has ended.

Jiang He walked out of the palace, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight. This legendary peak being was different from any opponent he had encountered in the past. Whether it was physical strength, endurance, or energy, Ji You was undoubtedly the clear winner.

Fortunately, the fish-and-water effect in Yin-Yang magic is specifically designed to deal with this situation, so in terms of the result, it can be considered a lose-lose situation.

"An invitation to the Border World, a VIP card for the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway, and three sticks of incense from the gods."

Ignoring the watchful eyes of the Zhou nobles around him, Jiang He directly stepped into the air and headed towards Yuwang City. His trip to Zhou was not without its gains; in addition to the invitation to the Ice Sea World, he also received a high-speed rail card from Ji You.

According to what the other party said while in a daze, the Ring Star High-Speed ​​Railway is a super corridor built by the Realm Defense Council, encircling the entire Realm. Only beings of the Golden Age or above are qualified to board the train. Its original intention was to reduce the impact of powerful beings traveling on the Realm's order, but it later evolved into the largest unofficial trading venue.

As for the divine incense offering, its effect is simple and clear: it can summon Ji You to descend, but it is limited to the present realm.

"VIP card, twelve free rides per year."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway will at least be a masterpiece of space technology."

Jiang He seemed to be deep in thought. He had gained a lot from the intelligence he had acquired this time. At the very least, he knew that there were legendary peak beings in the six major factions of the present realm. Among them, the Ancient One Supervisor was a bit special. He was suspected to be one of the nine immortal gods who had been reborn. Among the immortal gods of the five realms, there were no alien mythological beings like the Toad God.

Back in Yuwang City, the team members were all busy.

To the west, in the desert, and to the east, in the ice field, live four to five legendary creatures. But the legendary raptors in the southern forest have died under the Yuwang Stele and are relatively safe. The north is a misty area.

In the canyon, Zhuang Ya swallowed three white jade elephants in one gulp, barely getting half full. When she saw Jiang He return, she transformed into a little girl in white and waited obediently in front of the city gate.

"Big snake."

"I'm taking you with me on this trip."

Jiang He took Zhuang Ya's hand, activated the animal companion to inform Wu He and the others, and then walked out of the canyon and returned to Anping Island, which now resembled a military base.

As soon as it appeared, more than one aura disappeared from the surrounding sea and sky. As the king of the era who was the ultimate winner of two consecutive world wars, no major power would ignore it.

Activating the VIP card, a gust of wind swept by, and the elements intertwined, forming a train platform on the edge of Anping Island. After Jiang He stepped onto the platform, the doors of the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway appeared before him. It was estimated that he would only need to take seven stops and three days to reach his destination—Oslo, Northern Europe.

"The Holy Spirit-level Ancient Saint's Natal Sword is quite damaged, so there's not much point in me keeping it. This time, I'll try to collect materials and forge a Legendary-level sword for you," Jiang He said.

Downgrading a Saint-level weapon would greatly reduce the difficulty of alchemy, though it is somewhat extravagant and wasteful.

Zhuang Ya nodded her head. As a member of the hunter team, she estimated that she could also enter the icy sea world.

The two boarded the carriage. Jiang He's usual clothes had been changed to black robes with red patterns. His original red robe had been torn to shreds by Ji You starting from the back, so he simply went with the flow and adjusted the style.

As for Zhuang Ya, she changed into a sub-legendary-level combat maid outfit. On this trip, she will take on complex responsibilities such as maid, adjutant, and assistant chef, taking care of Jiang He's daily life.

It's worth mentioning that this extremely conservative maid outfit is of much higher quality than before, with a significant portion of its materials coming from the sub-legendary level magical armor created by the Alchemy Guild of the Gods World.

[Name: Battle Maid Outfit Pendant - Sword]
[Category: Armor]
[Quality: Sub-Legendary]
[Effect ①: Increases sword damage by 200%]
[Effect 2: Possesses two combat outfits, which, when activated, increase speed and strength by 180% respectively]
[Effect 3: The clothing possesses sub-legendary sturdiness/toughness]
[Note: This is the battle uniform of the Imperial Guard of the Millennium Empire. Due to the Empress's advanced age and the rampant corruption within the inner court, many of these uniforms have become circulated. A valiant sword adventurer spent a fortune to purchase one, but he apparently forgot that the Empress's Imperial Guard was entirely composed of women. The treasure remained untouched until one day, when Gluttony noticed it.]
The two disappeared on the platform.

Just a quarter of an hour later, a figure crossed the sea.

The newcomer gripped his sword tightly in both hands, his body crackling with lightning, and his striking red armor made him stand out. Takemikazuchi was a native of Yingzhou, a superhuman whose status was in the first tier below the three great gods.

Tsukuyomi's demise in the world of gods has been reported to the Yingzhou faction, but the players active in Takamagahara in the world of gods are not on the same level as Moke and are powerless to defeat him. They can only send out the strongest among the peak heroes after the event ends.

Takemikazuchi stared at the spot where his target had disappeared for a moment. He first tried to enter the border but failed. Then he glanced at the worthless puppet creatures on Anpei Island and finally requested resource support from Takamagahara.

"Mo Ke boarded the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway."

"You're not a legend, you're not qualified to make a move on a high-speed train."

A thunderbird hovered around and opened its mouth.

Takemikazuchi frowned and said, "If we keep tracking him, there will eventually be an opportunity. It is not appropriate for Amaterasu to cross the border, and Your Excellency is also creating power. Besides me, who else in Yingzhou can avenge Lord Tsukuyomi?"

“Since you’ve embarked on the path of the extraordinary, you don’t need anyone’s pity even if you die.” Thunderbird said coldly, “Besides, Tsukuyomi is a hopeless case. She chose to live on in the future as a god, so her fall was destined.”

"You just need to do your part, and you will be rewarded afterwards."

"Let's see if we can survive to the end."

The Thunderbird dissipated, and a high-speed rail card from the Ring Star landed.

Takemikazuchi reached out and caught it. Heroes are not allowed to fight in the present world, otherwise the legendary figures on the rotating council will take action. He just hopes that Moke can go to some "lawless places".

……

Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway.

After boarding the train, Jiang He went directly to the VIP private carriage. He looked around and saw that the high-speed rail extended out to thousands of carriages, with a dedicated trading carriage every hundred carriages.

The exclusive carriage is full of style. With the bright sunlight, you can see the clouds and the sea outside the window. Opposite the sofa, there are facilities such as a swimming pool and a bar. The interior obviously uses space folding technology. On the central high-tech screen, the entire train's trading list is displayed. There are even people selling sub-legendary level items.

"Excuse me, sir, do you need any service?"

At the bar, the girl who had acquired elven blood smiled sweetly. At the peak of the Bronze level, she was likely beyond hope of advancement. Her figure was exceptionally agile, yet alluring, and her cool beach swimsuit seemed fragile enough to break at the slightest touch.

—A charismatic player.

The girl stepped forward, and Zhuang Ya immediately drew her sword and held it horizontally in front of her, the blade making her face turn slightly pale.

"Miss, fighting is not allowed on the train. I have a commission from the council to artificially collect the seeds of strong individuals. Of course, it depends on whether this gentleman agrees."

Jiang He waved his hand; he wasn't interested in targets that couldn't provide Yin-Yang values.

"A glass of iced wine, a glass of iced tea."

"Okay." The elven girl replied with some disappointment. Just by looking at their posture, she could tell that the two were probably rare and powerful individuals. If they could collect the seeds, they could definitely sell them for a very good price.

Jiang He sat at the bar, browsing the transaction list.

An epic-level item typically costs around 10 game coins. Battlefield items are usually of higher quality than other world items of the same level, but very few players accept game coins for trading. At present, the player community prefers to barter to obtain items that are more suitable for them and strengthen their strength.

"There are a total of forty-one epic-level items, which is not a large number."

Jiang He pondered to himself that some of these items had been hanging there for a long time. Normal epic-level items would require ordinary heroes to risk their lives to complete missions to obtain them. Now, epic-level items were worthless in his hands, but ultimately, they were due to the unique and outstanding combat power of the King of the Era.

Jiang He contacted seven players, all of whom agreed to trade in-game currency and had sufficient funds.

The first to respond was a player from the Tsar faction, a hero-level Templar, who wanted an assassination bayonet with dark power, special effects including bleeding and armor-shattering effects, and epic-level sharpness.

Not picky.

Jiang He glanced at her 3 game coins in reserve, then asked Zhuang Ya for all 5 game coins, spending a total of 8 game coins like water.

"Sir, the buyer might change their mind," the elven girl couldn't help but remind him. Such a large transaction was quite rare since the completion of the Star-Circling High-Speed ​​Railway, and usually only occurred when major powers were purchasing or selling.

Jiang He didn't speak. He was hoping the buyer would cause trouble. In that case, the other party would owe not only game currency, but also karma. His power of destiny could guide him to find out the root of the problem.

Soon, crew members pushed carts into the compartments, bringing over thirty kinds of high-grade materials, including Stardust Iron, Sharpening Stone, Dark Energy Crystal, Blood Dragon Teeth, and Cloud-Cutting Grass.

Jiang He began alchemy. Under a black light, stardust iron was refined into the shape of a bayonet. After being sharpened with a whetstone, it was mixed with blood dragon teeth that were good at breaking armor and cloud-cutting grass that had a bleeding effect. Then, other auxiliary materials were added in turn.

When the golden flames scorched it until it glowed red, he casually hammered it a few times to remove deep-seated impurities, and the finished product was successfully produced.

——Epic-level Nebula Dark Blade.

Jiang He gave the weapon introduction to the Templar Knight, but there was no response. Several minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the private room. The person who came in was a tall man with extremely thick hair and beard, as if he had walked out of the snow and ice.

“Brother, I don’t believe such a coincidence.” The Templar found a seat and sat down, his bear-like figure looking somewhat comical squeezed onto the stool.

He said hesitantly, "The chances of someone selling an epic item, especially one that perfectly matches my needs, are too low. It's either a scam or a creator at least at the near-master level in person."

Alchemists, weapon refiners, mechanics, and other production-related professions are collectively referred to as "creators" by the player community.

Jiang He calmly said, "If you're not going to buy, then leave."

"Hahaha." The Templar laughed heartily and said, "Just kidding. It'll be fine to spend a little money to have it appraised by the Origin. I just want to see the craftsmanship of a Grandmaster-level Creator. To be honest, the Templar is in dire need of Creators."

The Templar's eyes were serious. To be precise, the number of creators in the entire realm is relatively scarce. Taking the alchemy system as an example, there are huge gaps between each level: alchemy apprentice, alchemist, quasi-master alchemist, master alchemist, quasi-grandmaster alchemist, grandmaster alchemist, and quasi-alchemy myth.

Master level, already mastered.

Currently, there are only three near-mythical level creators at the top level. Two belong to the major factions, while the other has joined the council. The Star-Circling High-Speed ​​Railway is one of his masterpieces.

click!
Jiang He plunged the bayonet into the table.

"You only have one chance to make an offer. No matter the price, I will not agree to it the second time."

The Templar looked somewhat embarrassed. Haggling was meaningless to a high-level creator; the Nebula Dark Blade could be refined into basic materials at any time to recoup the loss.

"112,000 game coins, this is my greatest sincerity." The Templar gritted his teeth; he needed a sharp weapon to assassinate the higher bishop.

Jiang He nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, the bayonet fell into the other man's arms.

The Templar was immediately terrified. Spatial powers—this creator was a standout in the Age of Heroes, and he was very likely to rise to power and become a legend in the future.

Money and goods are both in order.

Jiang He earned 32,000 game coins.

As the other six buyers responded one after another, game currency continued to flow out, and materials on the Star Train were gathered into the VIP compartment, where they were then crafted into epic weapons.

As the day passed, the VIP room became even more lively than the trading carriage. Several hero-level players did not leave after finishing their transactions, but instead observed the grandmaster's techniques. There were no more than twenty grandmaster-level creators in the entire realm.

Seven alchemy attempts, all custom-made, took a considerable amount of time, earning a total of 18 game coins. Jiang He's total funds reached 26, but were spent in the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of rare materials filled the carriage. When Jiang He took out his Saint-level natal sword, everyone present changed color. Two hero players got up and left. This level of treasure was already worth the covetous eyes of legendary giants. Just watching it could cause trouble, and the news would inevitably spread.

The crowd almost immediately dispersed.

The Templar hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you deliberately drawing in legendary figures?"

The other party is currently acting like an extremely foolish madman, but the possibility of such a guy becoming a master-level creator is extremely slim.

"Who knows?" Jiang He replied dismissively.

The Imperial Sword and the Holy Spirit's Natal Sword merged, golden flames forming a furnace, yet the power was concentrated to the absolute minimum. Precious high-grade materials were added, and Jiang He raised the Dragon Spear to forge them.

Upon seeing the silver-based, red-patterned spear, the Templar smiled with a complex expression. It turned out to be the King of Ages.

According to the intelligence circulating in the boundless void, the King of the Era has led the world to victory twice, with a contribution rate of over 90% in both instances. In the extraordinary initial stage after the Origin Realm was reset, the ability to fight and kick at the three branch battlefields simultaneously is unprecedented in the history of the Realm.

With the Silver Age already established, it unified the entire Bronze Age immediately after advancing to the Silver Age.

Back when he was still a regular Gold-ranked player, he annihilated elite heroes and dominated the border war of the Eternal Dark World.

Legend has it that an entire generation of sorcerers, one after another, gathered a large number of gold to besiege the King of the Age, who was only at the peak of Silver at the time, and in the end, all the extraordinary beings of that era were wiped out.

Together with the eldest daughter of the legitimate Si clan, they manipulated the native kingdoms, arbitrarily deposed and installed kings, twice invaded branch battlefield bases, and destroyed them all. Not long ago, they even brought twilight to the world of gods, killing a handful of the most powerful heroes.

He clashed with and won against the divine beings who were the ruling powers of the seventh-order era, separated by two life levels of the Golden Age. He personally killed the Reborn Wrathful Immortal, one of the nine great immortals of the Five Realms, and destroyed his body and soul, causing him to perish completely.

For the King of the Era, countless miracles are merely stepping stones to the extraordinary. It was only because of Mo Ke that most of the forces in the boundless void first learned that above the Forbidden Overlord, there still exists an absolutely invincible existence, even capable of becoming the ultimate weapon of origin.

The Templar said regretfully yet respectfully, "Please forgive my arrogance, but the Templar is not qualified to invite you to join us."

Once the opposing team joins, the Templar players will enter the boundless void and face devastating attacks.

Without answering, Jiang He focused on forging the Imperial Sword.

Over the course of a day and a night, the energy of 12 heroes was exhausted several times. The Templars watching were amazed. It was rumored that the King of Ages had comprehended the power of time, and it seemed that this was not just empty talk. He did not need workshops or assistants. Even in a simple carriage, he had the ability to create masterpieces.

Until all the overflowing sharpness was subdued, the sword was forged.

[Name: Imperial Sword]
[Category: Weapons]

[Effect ①: Legendary Sharpness/Sturdiness]
[Effect ②: Sword Spirit - When wielding a sword, Swordsmanship passively increases to Grandmaster LV1, attacks deal 40% additional true damage, 180% additional soul damage, and 180% additional sin damage]

[Effect ⑧: Nation's Misfortune - Once the sole holder is selected, the main weapon type cannot be changed, the sword spirit remains eternally loyal, and the exclusive secret sword, King of the World, deals 250% additional sword damage on attacks, twice daily, each time consuming 1000 points of Sacred Domain Energy]
[Note: A sword of unparalleled quality]
With its perfect combination of offensive, defensive, survivable, and mobile elements, and its impressive destructive power, the Imperial Sword is destined to hold a prominent position among legendary weapons.

The Templar felt the power of this ancient heavy sword. There was no doubt that any hero at their peak would gain a significant boost in strength by wielding it. Even in the eyes of legendary beings, it was a priceless treasure.

"My time waiting for you to forge the sword was not wasted."

At the entrance of the private room, an elderly man in his sixties appeared out of nowhere. He stared intently at the Imperial Sword, his eyes filled with greed. Due to the erosion caused by the fusion of the mythical form and the authority, this legend looked somewhat weathered, but to have gained such a reward after just one awakening was not a wasted trip.

"Lord Liu Wusheng." The Holy Knight rose and retreated. One of the orthodox ancestors of the Great Xia camp, a legendary figure, it is said that the Liu family gave birth to a powerful life form in this generation, who was expected to lead the nine orthodox families, but he fell in the world war. The murderer was Mo Ke.

“I ask you to go back,” Liu Wusheng said. “You should leave on your own. As the King of the Era, if possible, I don’t want to humiliate you. After all, you may have to call me Ancestor in the future.”

The legendary will descended, and the carriage trembled. The elven girl shivered, her mind blank. If the carriage were damaged, she would pay a heavy price, because since the completion of the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway, there had been more than one train attendant who had stolen from the carriage.

"Senior Liu, fighting is not allowed on the high-speed train."

"Hmph, who do you think made the rules?"

Liu Wusheng sneered. His legendary will crushed the elven girl, annihilating her soul. The order of the present realm was set by the legends, and he naturally had the right to violate it. Even if he had to pay compensation, it would be to the other legends, not to a bronze ant like him.

Jiang He calmly lit the incense.

Liu Wusheng sneered and pointed a finger. The sky immediately darkened, and a dazzling sword light that stole the light of heaven and earth burst forth. The Holy Knight was terrified and stood frozen in place.

The next moment, the power of time descended.

The sword light disappeared, and Liu Wusheng was not surprised. He knew that he and the King of the Era were separated by an entire era, but the other party was definitely not someone who could be easily defeated. In fact, the King's thinking speed was even faster than his own.

"But you still came out of the border too early."

"Is it."

Amidst the fragrant mist, a tall figure appeared. Ji You slapped Liu Wusheng out of the carriage, causing the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway to shudder violently. A streak of light tore through the clouds and plummeted straight towards the sea. The high-speed train continued its journey through the sky.

Ji You lifted Jiang He's chin and skillfully bit down on it. After a moment, she said with a half-smile, "I won't offend the Great Xia camp to the death. After all, I haven't settled the score for using me yet. But for now, I don't need to worry about the legends attacking you. I am at my peak and will soon return to the ranks of the great powers. Apart from the Ancient One Supervisor and some other half-baked old fogies with no hope of becoming legends, no legend is willing to fight me to the death."

boom!
As Ji You disappeared, the dozen or so gazes that had been fixed on the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway all retreated. A colossal wave surged up in the sea in the central part of the Realm. With a single punch, she sent Liu Wusheng crashing to the bottom of the sea. An endless shadow immediately descended. The Realm Defense Council's "Dark Side of the World" was specifically designed to guard against powerful life forms that could damage the Realm.

The influence of the dark side of the world has rendered the Ring Railroad dilapidated, presenting a peculiar desolation. However, if the railroad is destroyed now, everything in the affected area will be safe and sound once the dark side ends.

Unbeknownst to lower-level players, there were actually several legendary battles before the present realm, including the infamous "God-Making Project."

Inside the VIP carriage, the Templar Knight stretched his stiff wrists and said with a slight tremor, "I almost died. After Old Ancestor Liu took the sword, he'll probably try to silence me. Lord Mo Ke, who is that?"

There shouldn't be that one in the current legends.

"We met by chance," Jiang He replied calmly.

boom!
A massive cauldron phantom pierced through space and crashed down on his head, but the power of time once again neutralized the attack. His legendary peak status was essentially at the Holy Spirit level.
