My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 358 "The Heavenly Palace Appears in the World" (Seeking monthly votes).

"."

Chen Mang looked at the space bag placed below the mechanical arm. It contained a large amount of resources, the total amount of which far exceeded the sum of the "Extreme Evil Civilization" and the "Good Cat Civilization." This was all the wealth that "Little Fatty's father" had accumulated over the years, and it had all been left to him.

"Ugh."

After a long while, he sighed softly.

Although I've figured out the specifics, I still feel the story's plot development is too abstract. And you should at least bring some other information with you when you come back, so he can know some things about what will happen in the future.

However, in the future, he has had no contact with the "Nami Civilization" for 137 years.

They couldn't bring back any news about him either.

just
"."

Chen Mang suddenly thought of something, frowned, turned to look at Old Pig beside him and said, "Old Pig, do you think that if our human civilization had developed normally over these 137 years, we would at least have become famous in this area, if not the whole universe?"

"The Nami civilization has had no information about us for 137 years."

"Is it possible that we perished shortly after returning from the Good Cat Civilization?"

"This"

Old Pig was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to say something auspicious like "it's definitely not going to happen," but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth: "It's possible. After all, if things were developing normally, it's impossible for the Nami civilization to have gone 137 years without hearing any information from human civilization."

Chen Mang frowned and remained silent. If that's the case, then according to the predetermined future, he will face a disaster, and the time of that disaster will definitely be after the "Doba," that is, the goblin race, creates the "Heavenly Palace."

He was very likely to perish in that disaster.

And on his deathbed.

He threw the Heavenly Palace into the Time Rift.

He believed this was a way for his future self to help his present self develop quickly, but now it seems more like a desperate, all-or-nothing tactic.
and many more!

He suddenly realized something.

When the future and present states of a forbidden object in the universe meet, a violent explosion will occur. If the volume is small, it will explode on a small scale like the little fat man's father. If the volume is large, the resulting explosion will be much larger.

His celestial palace was larger than a planet.

When the future and present states of the Heavenly Palace meet, the resulting explosion is unknown and terrifying, possibly even comparable to the .2000-level Akaganon solar cannon.

He didn't know.

Without a comparison, he couldn't guess the approximate power unless he could obtain specific data.

After a while.

"call"

Chen Mang breathed a sigh of relief. He had roughly sorted out many things. According to the normal predetermined future, he would encounter an extremely terrifying crisis after leaving the "Nami Civilization". He might even perish in this crisis, and the Stellar Train would also be destroyed.

Although he didn't know what kind of crisis would be needed to destroy the Stellar train.

but--

At least one point in time is important: he certainly wouldn't have encountered this crisis before the "Heavenly Palace" was built by the goblin race.

That palace isn't so easy to build. With the technology of the goblin race, it will take a very long time. There's no need to rush it for now.

That happened a long time later.

not to mention!
In the predetermined future, he did not take these resources with him when he left the "Nami Civilization". This time, he took so many resources, and the train will become stronger. Perhaps the disaster that would have brought the train to its current state can now be dealt with safely.

at this time!

Xiao Ai's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Train conductor, I have good news. In the past seven years, with the support of the train and in cooperation with the research and development center, the goblin race has greatly improved its technological level. According to Doba, many of the problems with the blueprints for the Heavenly Palace that were submitted last time have been completely overcome."

"We are now in the final stages."

"It is expected to be completely completed in less than three months."

"."

Chen Mang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly fell silent again. After a long while, he said softly, "Is this good news?"

"Doesn't it count?"

Xiao Ai seemed a little confused.

"Forget it."

Chen Mang sighed softly, picked up the spatial bag, and walked back along the tunnel the way he came, preparing to explain the general situation and the whole story to the chubby boy.

At this moment, he was like a cancer patient who had been given a "critical condition notice".

All we can do is wait to die.

Three months later, on the day the Heavenly Palace was completed, the time when disaster was about to strike would arrive.

at this time.

Even if he ordered a delay in the construction of the Heavenly Palace, it would be meaningless. It would be like trying to find a sword by marking the boat. The day the Heavenly Palace was completed would only be a rough time point and would not have any causal relationship with the completion of the Heavenly Palace itself.

According to the chubby boy's father, this crisis most likely occurred when he left the "Nami Civilization" and returned to the Niya Galaxy.

That is
"."

Chen Mang's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. He seemed to know how to break the deadlock. This crisis should be brewing in the Niya system at this moment, which means that his behavior in the vicinity of the Niya system these days has attracted the attention of an advanced civilization.

That advanced civilization set a trap for him.

If he goes back, he will face utter destruction.

This way.
In fact, this crisis in the predetermined future is easy to avoid; all we need to do is temporarily not return to the Niya star system.
This is assuming there is no attack on the "past timeline" setting.

At this moment, Xiao Lü is still guarding his past timeline in the "Niya Galaxy". When that unknown advanced civilization kills Xiao Lü, it will also be his death day.

I have to go back.

We must go back as soon as possible.

Moreover, if possible, we must find a way to ensure the absolute safety of our past timeline as soon as possible, then rush back as quickly as possible, upgrade the train again with these resources during this time, and launch an attack ahead of time to catch the enemy off guard.

This is the only way.

The only way to survive.

Running away would only lead to certain death. Without his help, Xiao Lü alone might not be able to withstand the attack from the advanced civilization.

soon--

While quickly thinking, Chen Mang returned to the building, handed the tablet to the chubby boy, and then explained the whole story. The chubby boy didn't speak or cry; he just sat there blankly on the ground without saying a word.

Ming
My father was perfectly fine just a moment ago, how could he have turned into a bag of minced meat in such a short time?

He believed that his father was not killed by Chen Mang, and that it was his father's own choice.

I just find it a little hard to accept.

He had just reconciled with his father and hadn't even had a few days of peaceful father-son relations when they were suddenly separated by death.

Fate plays tricks on people, which is always unpleasant.

After a long time.

The chubby boy, his eyes reddening, looked up at Chen Mang and forced a smile: "Master Mang, I don't blame you. My father saved the Nami civilization's life. For my father's sake, I beg you here, hoping that you will take these resources and protect the Nami civilization in a critical moment in the future."

After a long silence, Chen Mang finally spoke, "Alright."

This time he didn't refuse.

At this point, he did indeed need these resources.

The chubby boy laughed, but there was a hint of sadness in his smile: "It's a pity my father is dead, otherwise he would probably be very happy if he knew about this in the afterlife."

Upon learning of his father's death, the chubby boy seemed to mature overnight.

The loss of a family member is among the saddest events in the world.

but--

In some ways, the loss of a family member can also make a person mature quickly.

Forced to take on the responsibility alone.

The chubby boy's father's wife had already returned to her room alone, and faint sounds of heartbroken weeping could be heard.

"under.?"

Chen Mang was slightly taken aback, thinking of the Second Universe, but quickly shook his head. It was impossible to keep one's soul intact in such an existence. But after thinking about it, perhaps he hoped that the little fat boy could live with a glimmer of hope in the future, and he didn't want this family to be in sorrow forever. So he still spoke hesitantly.

Do you know about the second universe?

"That's where a person goes after they die."

"Although your father died in the first universe, he did not truly die. He may have already gone to the second universe. It just takes time for him to drift from the first universe to the second universe. This time is completely random; it could be a second or a hundred million years."

"I'm not sure when your father will be able to arrive in the second universe."

"but--"

“I can tell you that I have the ability to travel between the first and second universes. If you are willing, I can take you there once. I will also promise you that I will help you find your father in the second universe whenever I have the chance.”

"The second universe is very large, so it's definitely not going to be found in a short time."

"That's all you have to do."

"Shoulder your father's responsibilities and take good care of your mother. That way, when you die and go to the second universe to reunite with your father, he will be truly happy, especially after he knows that he has changed the future and the fate of his civilization and his family."

He spent some time explaining to the chubby boy what the second universe was.

They then put the chubby boy on the Stellar Train and took him to a planet in the "Second Universe." When the chubby boy saw the existence of those starving ghosts, he believed in the existence of the Second Universe.

The sadness between his brows had also lessened considerably.

What they gained in return was a great deal of enthusiasm.

This is not a permanent separation, but a temporary one.

"it is good!"

Back in the residential building, the chubby boy's eyes were full of energy. He looked at Chen Mang and smiled, "Master Mang, I know you have important things to do. You go ahead and get busy. Father left 90% of the resources to you. The remaining 10% is enough for our current business to operate. I believe I can make Father's business even bigger."

"Well, you can keep that refrigerator."

"Thank you, Master Xie Mang."

After separation.

Chen Mang left the residential building, sat on the Hengxing train, and hid in the "pseudo-four-dimensional" space. He sat in the train's interior and remained silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.

He simply couldn't bear to see the chubby boy's expression.

But that's all I can do now; it's a white lie.

Having hope is better than having no hope at all.

Even if that hope is false.

The chubby boy's father transformed himself into a forbidden object in the universe, and an explosion occurred when the present and past states met. In this situation, it would be a fucking ghost if his soul could still be intact!
It's almost certain that they won't be able to go to the second universe.

Total death.

A true erasure.

But just then——

Suddenly, Xiao Ai's voice came from inside the train: "Train conductor, I found the data detected during the explosion. There was a faint spatial fluctuation. That spatial fluctuation occurred after the explosion."

“I’ve seen that spatial fluctuation before.”

"When a living being dies, there is a chance that this spatial fluctuation will occur; it is the fluctuation of the soul returning to the second universe."

"That is to say——"

"It seems that the little fat boy's father's soul has really gone to the second universe."

"how is this possible?"

Chen Mang frowned and said, "Although the power of that kind of explosion is not great, it is a forbidden explosion under the rules of the universe. Such an explosion will not destroy the soul?"

If a human were killed by a bomb of this power, their soul would most likely remain intact.

“Theoretically speaking, that’s true.” Xiao Ai continued, somewhat puzzled, “But the little fat boy’s father has two souls. Although they are two people, their souls are the same.”

"Because my database doesn't contain any stories of martyrs or heroes like this, I don't know exactly what happened. I can only roughly guess that something incredible happened that allowed the little fat boy's father's soul to remain intact."

"Moreover, both souls are complete and united as one."

"Let's head to Universe Two together."

Chen Mang was also somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.
"What will happen? One plus one equals two?"

"uncertain."

"But one thing is certain: the little fat boy does have a chance to see his father in the second universe, and the probability is not small."

"..." Chen Mang's lips twitched slightly; this was beyond his knowledge. "This isn't normal, is it?"

"unusual."

"Preliminary deduction suggests that the rules of the universe divide the forbidden items into four categories, namely—"

"The chubby father's body in the past, and the chubby father's body in the present."

"The soul of the chubby boy's father in the past, and the soul of the chubby boy's father in the present."

"When the four collide with each other..."

"The body exploded."

“The souls merged.”

"."

Chen Mang looked up at the celestial palace that covered the entire planet. He felt a little better at that moment. Otherwise, he would have felt like he was the one who caused the death of the little fat boy's father. Living in the Second Universe was still living, and as long as you were alive, there was hope.

As long as he finds the chubby boy's father in the future, he can bring him to the First Universe at any time.

It's like a disguised resurrection.

His most important task at this moment was to explore this celestial palace.

Then he looked down at a bronze key in his hand. It was given to him by the chubby boy's father. It was the first forbidden item in the universe after the appearance of the Heavenly Palace. The chubby boy's father suspected that this bronze key might have some connection with the Heavenly Palace, so he kept it until he met him and handed it to him personally.

Getting to the Heavenly Palace is very simple.

When the chubby boy's father was still alive, he used his connections to get him a green card for the research lab, allowing him to openly pass through the guards at the entrance to the Heavenly Palace and enter the Heavenly Palace as the Nami Civilization Research Institute.

The train landed at the entrance to the Heavenly Palace.

The scene before my eyes was extremely shocking.

The first thing that catches the eye is nine enormous pillars.

This celestial palace is comparable to a planet, but its mass far exceeds that of a planet. The oppressive feeling it brings at first glance is directly shocking to the mind. The huge star train appears extremely inconspicuous in front of the celestial palace.

At this moment, the sound rushed across the ground at the entrance to the sky.

The nine pillars were covered with totem patterns, which were extremely large and clear, and could be clearly seen with the naked eye even from a great distance.

Moreover, it seems that there is some kind of technology inside the Heavenly Palace.

Despite the great distance, it is still extremely clear.

"."

Chen Mang sat in the train cabin, pushing the control lever, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the approaching entrance to the Heavenly Palace in the distance. Suddenly, he asked with some curiosity, "Xiao Ai, are Doba and the others really close to completing the construction of the Heavenly Palace?"

What materials were used?

"With so much material, requiring the hollowing out of several planets, how was the power source designed to support this celestial palace?"

"The goblin race's technology has reached this level?"

Only seven years have passed.

Isn't this change a bit too fast?

Xiao Ai's voice soon rang out inside the train: "Reporting to the train conductor, I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. I'm currently asking Doba, but I do know a little bit. They applied for a batch of Cyber ​​Mining Machines seven years ago."

"Many materials are obtained through Cyber ​​Mining Machines."

"Moreover, the goblin race is naturally skilled in architecture."

Followed by.

Xiao Ai paused for a moment before speaking again, "Doba and I shared a database. 99% of the materials in it possess 'growth properties,' and their initial forms weren't this large."

"The goblin race modularized the entire 'Heavenly Palace,' dividing it into 999999 modules based on blueprints. These nearly one million modules, when assembled, formed the Heavenly Palace."

"The main ingredient is called 'Star Clay'."

"This is a special material that grows continuously after experiencing abnormal time fluctuations, becoming enormous and extremely sturdy."

"The goblin race obtained 'Stardust' through the Cyber ​​Mine. Then, by utilizing their own race's ability to ignore the effects of time flow within the time rift, they carried the Stardust to the time rift, allowing it to grow large enough before bringing it out of the time rift and placing it within the modular structure, thus forming part of the 'Celestial Palace.'"

"and"

Xiao Ai spoke at length.

Chen Mang understood half of what was being said. After the train passed through the checkpoint at the entrance to the Heavenly Palace, he didn't go any further. Instead, he stopped the train and headed to Water Blue Star to see for himself the progress and methods of Doba and the others.

When Chen Mang arrived on the planet Blue.

They witnessed a shocking scene.

In the void outside the atmosphere of the blue planet, a huge chassis was floating in the universe. Countless trains were constantly traveling back and forth between the ground and the universe. Countless goblins stood on the huge foundation and used mechanical arms and other large mechanical devices.

Modular components, such as large stones, are stored and installed in their corresponding positions according to the blueprints.

The whole scene looks like assembling Lego bricks.

At a glance.

Hundreds of trains shuttle back and forth, and millions of goblins are constantly busy.

"Wait? Where did these goblins come from?"

Chen Mang seemed a little bewildered. He suddenly realized that he might have been ignoring the situation inside the train for too long.
When he last visited the goblin tribe, there were only a few hundred goblins.

How come there are millions this time?

Where the hell did these millions of goblins come from?!
Can a goblin give birth to hundreds of thousands of children in one litter?
Xiao Ai's voice rang out again in the train.

"The goblin race chose to reproduce within the time rifts, greatly accelerating their reproduction rate. At this point, the goblin race already has nearly ten million people, making them a large race on Earth?"

"Don't goblins ignore the effects of time rift flow?"

"It's more like ignoring it, not ignoring it completely."

Chen Mang nodded slightly. He remembered when they were still on Aquamarine Star, when they encountered their first time rift. For a normal person, a few seconds would pass outside, but decades would pass inside. However, for Doba, a few minutes would pass outside, but Doba would only feel that a few months had passed.

That being said.

It is indeed possible to rapidly multiply the goblin race through time rifts.

"A time rift has appeared on Earth?"

"Well, to be precise, time rifts have appeared on dozens of planets. The flow rate of each time rift is different. Only the time rift on Blue Planet is the largest, and the proportion of time flow rate is also the largest."

"This is the effect caused by the interference from the black hole after the train encountered it last time."

"where?"

"It's there."

Chen Mang looked in the direction Xiao Ai was pointing and saw a huge time rift appear next to the foundation of the Heavenly Palace. He had never seen such a huge time rift before, big enough to fit a planet inside.

Even if you were to stuff the Heavenly Palace inside, it would be enough.

"."

Chen Mang remained silent with a complicated expression.

Suddenly, many things became clear.

He finally understood how his future self found a huge time rift and stuffed the Heavenly Palace into it. In the past seven years, many things happened on the train that he was unaware of.

"Ask Doba what the meaning of that safe he designed is, and how to open it."

"Yes."

According to information from the Nami civilization.

The Nami civilization found a safe inside the Heavenly Palace. It had no keyholes and was a completely enclosed cube, like a solid piece of steel. It was exceptionally sturdy, and even bombarding it with the Akagan beam cannon could not damage it in the slightest.

he thinks
Perhaps there's something in this safe that can help him.

It's definitely not something that can give him the final say.

If it can help him make a decisive move, then his future self won't throw it back; he can just use it to get through the crisis. But one thing is certain: it will definitely be something that makes him stronger.

soon--

Xiao Ai's voice rang out again inside the train.

"Conductor."

"Doba said he did not design any safes."

"Ah."

Chen Mang nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. Since this treasure chest wasn't designed by Doba, then it must have been created by him. Once he saw it with his own eyes, it would be clear.

Chen Mang left Water Blue Star.

Returning once more to the celestial palace of the "Nami Civilization," they piloted the train deeper into the palace.

The interior of the Heavenly Palace is extremely vast.

There are a total of 99 areas, each with its own function. For example, the "breeding area" is where poultry and other animals are kept, and the "plant area" is where various rare and unique plants from the universe are kept.

How did he know all this?

This is entirely because there is a floor plan at the entrance to this celestial palace, which details the functions of these 99 areas.

but--

It seems that this celestial palace was not officially put into use after it was completed, but was thrown in. At least he did not see any signs of use after passing through several areas.

The so-called plant area was completely empty, without even a speck of mud.

The entire Heavenly Palace was ridiculously clean.

It is unclear whether everything was washed away when it was thrown into the time rift, or whether it was never used at all.

The Heavenly Palace is very large.

However, the Stellar train still quickly passed through all areas and sped towards the core area. This was still the result of slowing down as much as possible, since even the largest Tiangong Palace was still compared to ordinary buildings.

His Star Train can travel in space.

At one-third the speed of light, the Stellar Train could pass through the entire Heavenly Palace in just a few blinks if it went all out. Of course, the price would be smashing the entire Heavenly Palace to pieces.

The area he went to was the most central area.

"The Royal Palace District".

It was also in this area that Doba designed for him to live in, and it was in this area that the safe was found.

We drove all the way here.

I didn't see many people in other areas.

When he arrived at the Palace District, he saw a lot of people wearing research lab coats gathered there. Hearing the noise from the Stellar Train, they all turned to look, but after seeing the research institute flag on the Stellar Train carriage, they looked away.

I'm a little curious about which research institute has the capability to create such a remarkable-looking train.

The five "Akanon Photon Main Cannons" on the top of the carriage say it all.

Even if we could afford to build an ordinary train, we couldn't afford to use it.

But I didn't care too much.

After all, the "Nami Civilization" has too many research institutes, and most of them are still working in seclusion, so it's perfectly normal not to have heard of them.

soon.

The researchers then continued their research on their own.

Driving a hovercar.

They constantly traversed every corner of the area, using high-tech equipment to study the hidden information in each corner, leaving no stone unturned in terms of patterns and gaps between bricks.

"."

Chen Mang led Biaozi and the others off the carriage and stood in the Heavenly Palace for the first time.

Doba's design for the celestial palace is very interesting.

There is no second layer.

There is only one layer.

This results in extremely high ceilings, even exceeding those of mountains. Combined with excellent air circulation and exceptional brightness, standing inside the Heavenly Palace, one feels no sense of oppression, or even that one is inside a building; it feels as if one is in nature.

The downside is that the space utilization rate is extremely low.

The advantages are...
It was incredibly stunning; the visual experience was indescribable.

The best interior design art is always wasting space.

Only extreme waste can bring about an extreme sense of awe.
