The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 104 Return to the Collapse Iron World, the Dragon Lord Returns!
This time, the return to the Collapse Iron World did not cause as much of a commotion as the first time, and the star track only trembled slightly.

But any unusual movement is enough to attract the attention of those who are interested.

"Miss Himeko, have you opened up a new world?" Topa called shortly after.

“That’s right, but I’m sorry, due to special circumstances, the New World will not be open to the company and other forces for the time being,” Himeko replied.

Regardless of a planet's power or technological advancement, as long as it possesses a complete civilization, the company can likely coexist peacefully with it under the constraints of the Star Train. After all, the company is outwardly a positive force, and harmony brings wealth; only a small minority are extreme.

In the current Ling Cage world, there are only tens of thousands of survivors on the entire planet, and they are scattered and lack a unified political system.

If this company goes there, it's hard to say whether the planet will still belong to them, as the number of people is simply too small.

The company might not do anything to the survivors, but if they just occupy a place and start mining resources, will the survivors even know? And even if they do know, what can they do?
The survivors in the Ling Cage world are not under much pressure to survive. There are too few people. The safe space obtained by clearing out some of the Devouring Beasts is enough for people to survive. There is no need to eliminate all the Devouring Beasts on the planet at once. Such a small number of people do not need such a large living space.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Himeko decided to temporarily hide this star trail and not open it to the public.

As for the company going there to help deter the mastermind behind the scenes, don't be ridiculous. If there's any real danger, the company will be the first to run away. What does the feud between the two indigenous forces have to do with the company?

Unless that planet has some extremely valuable resources.

Otherwise, if you want the company to help, the price you have to pay might be the entire planet.

"It's alright. We haven't even finished developing the market from the last world yet. I didn't expect the Star Train to open up a new world. It's truly astonishing," Topa said with some disappointment.

"By the way, we received a report from the Sea Patrol Ranger that the head of your company's market development department in the New World attempted to use the Void Soldier's Destruction Core to create a man-made crisis disaster, and then use the name of saving the world to gain more rights and benefits in transactions. Fortunately, the Sea Patrol Ranger stopped them, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. We hope your company can give us an explanation," Himeko said.

"Don't worry, we will definitely give the train crew an explanation. The personnel of the Market Development Department have been completely withdrawn from the New World and will continue to be restricted in the new markets that the train crew will develop in the future. Is the train crew satisfied with this treatment?" Although he was held accountable, Topa's voice sounded somewhat happy.

“We wouldn’t mind deepening our cooperation with the company then,” Himeko said with satisfaction.

Topa hung up the phone, feeling extremely pleased. He had not only won over the Starry Sky Train but also dealt a blow to his competitor—a win-win situation!

Thank you to the Market Development Department for their hard work!
Shortly after, a spaceship emerged from the wormhole leading to Douluo Continent.

"Scott! You piece of trash, you've disappointed me terribly! You're demoted!" An angry voice echoed through the spaceship.

"Boss, it's not my fault! Who knew that such a thing as a god existed in that world? After my meticulous investigation and calculations, I thought that even if that so-called King of Slaughter was strengthened by the Destruction Core, our mechs could easily deal with him. But who knew that his strength increased far beyond our calculations!" Scott complained.

"It's all the fault of that gold dust guy in the Strategic Investment Department and those idiotic native gods who insisted on closing the passage and attacking us. Then that useless Asura God King was killed, and the King of Slaughter was strengthened and automatically inherited some Asura God position. Otherwise, my plan would have been perfectly executed!" Scott tried to shift the blame.

"Shut up! No matter what, your mission failed, and you dragged the entire department down with you. Get back to the Luofu branch and prepare to accept punishment beyond demotion!"

“Ah, yes,” Scott said dejectedly.

"Remember what you promised before: to go back."

Scott took a deep breath, curled up, and rolled from one side of the spaceship to the other, and then to the other side again.

"What are you laughing at?! Get the spaceship moving faster!" Scott yelled at his employees as he rolled around.

……

Himeko was constantly processing messages from various factions, keeping herself incredibly busy.

At Black Tower's urgent request, Xing went to Black Tower Space Station and handed over the corpse of the Devouring Beast, withered Mana flowers, and other special products to Black Tower for research.

Just like the immortal herbs and martial soul awakening stones that Black Tower brought from the Douluo World, Black Tower had Estella give the train crew a generous reward.

After the spoils were divided, with the help of the other members of the train crew, Meng Huaifeng had enough credits to forge a good weapon.

Meng Huaifeng was thinking that after rescuing Luofu Immortal Boat, he would ask Jing Yuanyuan to help him make a connection and ask the master craftsman of Zhu Ming Immortal Boat to forge a good gun.

Pam sent an access request to the Luofu Immortal Ship and is awaiting its reply.

……

"Snapped!"

A loud slap rang out, and Meng Huaifeng tilted his head, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"Meng Huaifeng, remember your place. You're just a son-in-law of our Starry Sky Train. What right do you have to interfere with the Starry Sky Train's course?" Ji Zi crossed her arms, her face full of arrogance.

"Meng Huaifeng, I've tolerated you for too long. You should just focus on doing your job properly, but you actually dared to ask about my relationship with A-Xing. You're no match for A-Xing at all. A-Xing could easily defeat a hundred of you with a flick of her wrist. People should know their place." March 7th hugged Xing's arm tightly, looking at Meng Huaifeng with disdain.

"Why don't we let March divorce this good-for-nothing? I'll protect the train from now on. Even if it's the Destruction Order Envoy, we won't have to take it seriously." Xing said to Walter and Himeko, hugging March's waist, without even glancing at Meng Huaifeng.

“Young Master Xing is right, Meng Huaifeng. Don’t blame us for being heartless. Who told you to be so ungrateful and offend Young Master Xing? You should leave and get off the Starry Sky Train.” Walter first flattered Xing, then said to Meng Huaifeng expressionlessly.

Meng Huaifeng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

I never imagined that my hard work and dedication to the Star Train over the past two years would lead to this outcome.

Since that's the case, there's no need to hide it anymore.

"The three-year period has come to an end. We respectfully welcome the Dragon Lord back to his throne!"

Zhu Zhuqing, Hong Kou, and Po Xiao appeared behind Meng Huaifeng, kneeling on one knee and shouting with somewhat distorted expressions.

Yin Yue instantly possessed Meng Huaifeng, and two dragon horns emerged from his forehead as he activated the Cloud Chanting Technique.

"Boom!"

The Dragon Lord has returned, changing the very fabric of history, causing all forces to tremble. The humiliations of the past will now be washed away with the blood of the enemy. Meng Huaifeng's gaze is icy; wherever he goes, no one dares to meet his sharp edge.

Walter and Himeko were so intimidated by Meng Huaifeng's terrifying aura that they couldn't utter a single word.

"No... impossible! How could you, a piece of trash, possess such astonishing power?" March 7th looked at Meng Huaifeng in disbelief.

Meng Huaifeng strode forward with firm steps, each step seemingly carrying the force of a thunderbolt. Behind him were his loyal followers, each one dashing and spirited, their eyes filled with reverence for the Dragon Lord and anticipation for the future.

Xing was forced to take a step back, then her expression twisted with rage as she said, "I don't believe it! This must be fake! Let me expose your true colors!"

Xing attacked Meng Huaifeng, but Meng Huaifeng waved his hand lightly, and Xing, who claimed that he didn't even care about the Destruction Order Envoy, was sent flying. A bit of tomato sauce dripped from the corner of Xing's mouth.

Those who once looked down on him and suppressed him are now silent in his presence, fear spreading through their hearts.

Meng Huaifeng tilted his head slightly, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. His voice rang out like a booming bell: "I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, not wanting our relationship to be mixed with anything else. But I didn't expect to be met with your contempt and alienation. Fine, I'll stop pretending and lay my cards on the table. I am the Bright Dragon Lord, Lord Yinyue!"

"What! You are the renowned Moon Drinker of Immortal Boat Luofu? Meng Huaifeng is just an alias?" Walter asked incredulously.

"It is said that Lord Yinyue can suppress the Envoy of Abundance with a flick of his palm, and has disappeared for countless years. I never expected that he would be hiding in our Starry Sky Train." Himeko's eyes widened as well.

"Huaifeng, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll sever ties with Xing right away. Can we still be the same as before?" March 7th knelt on the ground, hugging Meng Huaifeng's leg, and said pitifully.

"March!" Xing's expression changed, then she realized what was happening and begged Meng Huaifeng for mercy, "I was blind and failed to recognize Lord Dragon Lord. Please, Lord Dragon Lord, have mercy on me and spare my life. I promise to cut off all ties with them from now on!"

"Hmph, isn't it too late to beg for mercy now? The pain you inflicted on me, I will repay you tenfold today!" Meng Huaifeng grinned crookedly, "It's getting cold, the wind should be picking up."

"What...are you doing?" A somewhat deep voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look and saw that the door between the carriages had been opened at some point, and Dan Heng was looking at them with a dark face.

Oh no, we've alerted the True Dragon Lord!
"Ahem, nothing, nothing."

Everyone dispersed somewhat awkwardly. Meng Huaifeng withdrew the possessing Yin Yue, the dragon horn on his forehead disappeared, and he pretended to be nonchalant.

“I’m not surprised that March, Xing, and Huaifeng pulled this stunt, but why are Mr. Walter and Himeko cooperating with them?” Dan Heng asked, rather speechless.

"There's nothing we can do. Little March keeps begging and pleading with us, and we just can't refuse," Walter said, adjusting his glasses.

Danheng looked at March 7th.

“That was it Huaifeng who tricked me into going!” March 7th immediately pointed at Meng Huaifeng.

"I only told a story about the return of the Dragon King; it was Xing who strongly suggested that we act it out!" Meng Huaifeng also shifted the blame.

"They won't even let me play the lead role, and they want me to take the blame? The script was written by Huaifeng, and he also played the lead role. Do you believe him or me?" Xing glared at Meng Huaifeng and said to Dan Heng.

She really wants to play the Dragon Lord too!

"There's nothing I can do about it, it's just that I can transform into a dragon." Meng Huaifeng shrugged.

"Huaifeng, it seems like it's been a long time since I've given you any pointers on the Cloud Cavalry Spear Technique. I wonder how much you've improved?" A cold glint flashed in Danheng's eyes.

"Isn't that unnecessary?" Meng Huaifeng said with a forced smile.

"The Luofu Immortal Ship has approved our visit request. Everyone, take your seats and prepare for the jump." Pam's voice suddenly rang out from the train's public address system.

"We're about to make a leap, sit down quickly, sit down." Meng Huaifeng hurriedly ran to the sofa and sat down.

Dan Heng walked over and sat down next to Meng Huaifeng. He didn't say anything, just quietly watched him. Meng Huaifeng immediately became restless.

After traveling for some time, the Star Train began to jump, and after two consecutive jumps, it arrived at Luofu Immortal Ship, one of the Immortal Ship Alliance.

……

The Star Core Hunter family.

[I Want to Die: Has the entire script for Immortal Boat Luofu been cancelled?]
[SilverFinger: Shock! Blade actually initiated the conversation!]
[Slave to Fate: All cancelled. We no longer need to intervene. Things will automatically develop in the direction we hope for, and even better than before.]
[I want to die: I want to kill that damned brat! How dare he play me!]
[Silverfinger: That's my apprentice! No way!]
[Kafka: Arren, you know you shouldn't do that.]
[Slave of Fate: I'll give you that chance, Pinocchio, no matter how many times you want to kill him.]
[I want to die: Is the Immortal Boat not good enough? I can't wait.]
[Slave to Fate: If you really want to go, you can, but something unpleasant might happen.]
[Silverfinger: A familiar phrase.]
[I want to die: ...]
[Silverfinger: Why don't you just go and kill me?]
[Silverfinger: Where are you?]
[Silverfinger: Stop playing dead.]
……

"Wow! This is the Celestial Ship? It looks even bigger than the Yalilo VI!" March 7 exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the giant ship in the sea of ​​stars.

The others were also shocked. They had seen ships before, but they couldn't imagine a ship this big.

"For the Immortal Ship people, this ship is their planet. The earth is an indispensable cradle for the survival and development of civilization. However, some civilizations can leave their childhood behind and pilot starships to cruise through the void... The Immortal Ship Alliance is one such civilization. I've only seen it a few times, but it is still so magnificent." Dan Heng looked at the Immortal Ship with a complicated expression.

Nostalgia? Not really. Apart from the prison, he only had some impression of the docks. His other knowledge came from the inherited memories in his mind.

"How long would it take for a civilization to develop to this level?" Hongkou asked.

"It's hard to say. It might never reach that level, or a genius like Ms. Black Tower might emerge and achieve it in a few decades," Dan Heng said.

"How does Boss Bai compare to that genius Black Tower you mentioned?" Hong Kou asked curiously.

"Compared to ordinary people, Boss Bai is a genius, but compared to Black Tower, he's simply incomparable." It wasn't that Meng Huaifeng looked down on Bai Yuekui, but that was the truth.

Bai Yuekui can only be said to have a chance to embark on an intellectual path, but he is still far from being noticed by the learned scholar. He is probably about the same level as the scholars in the Learned Society.

Hongkou blushed slightly and stopped asking questions.

"This is the Star Train. To reiterate, this is the Star Train. I have arrived in the Immortal Ship's airspace and am requesting landing permission for the ground... or perhaps I should say the deck." Himeko initiated her request to the Luofu Immortal Ship.

"Welcome to Luofu Airport, Xingcha Sea. Please wait patiently for your transfer... Permission has been granted. Please dock at the designated location as instructed."

Guided by the Luofu Fairy Ship, the Starry Sky Train entered the Starry Sea Wharf.

At the same time, the captain of the Sky Ship Company also received news that the Star Train had arrived.

The Celestial Ship Bureau is one of the Six Celestial Ship Bureaus, responsible for trade, shipping, and diplomatic affairs. It signs trade agreements with the Interstellar Peace Company and manages the movement of starships.

Ordinary visitors don't need to be received personally by one of the six imperial guards of the Celestial Ship, the captain of the Celestial Ship Office. However, the Starry Sky Train is renowned and has recently become famous throughout the world. Only her personal reception can demonstrate the Celestial Ship's respect for it.

"Tingyun, the distinguished guests of the Starry Sky Train have arrived. Prepare to welcome them," Yukong instructed.

"Sigh, Sister Yukong really knows how to order people around. I haven't even returned to the Immortal Ship yet, and she's already assigning me a new task. I had to rush back half a system hour early to prepare," Tingyun complained slightly.

"Who told you to come back at this time? You also picked up the VIPs from the Starry Sky Train, saving us the trouble of arranging someone else. The capable should do more, right? I'll give you a few days off afterwards," Yu Kong said with a smile, trying to comfort him.

"That's settled then." Tingyun regained some of her energy, seemingly attracted by Yu Kong's promise.

Just as Yu Kong was about to continue working after hanging up the communication, an emergency alarm suddenly sounded.

Countless messages were transmitted to Yu Kong, and suddenly a large number of demonic figures appeared at various docks in the Star Chariot Sea!

"Immediately evacuate the crowd and temporarily close the Jade Realm Gate!" Yu Kong solemnly instructed.

……

“The Immortal Ship Alliance is a top-tier power in the universe. Except during the great war with the Abundant People, it is generally very safe. Anyone who wants to visit Luofu can get off the train. I will stay on the train to accompany Pam,” Walter offered.

"So, are there any people who don't want to go?" Himeko asked.

No one answered; it seems everyone is very interested in the Immortal Boat Luofu.

"Fairy Boat Luofu, here we come!" March 7th cheered.

The train doors opened, and everyone except Walter and Danheng filed out.

"Huh? Danheng, didn't you come to the Immortal Ship on business? Why aren't you getting off?" March 7 asked curiously.

"I'm forbidden from setting foot in Luofu, so it's best if I don't appear before the people Luofu sent to receive us. If you find the current Dragon Lord, you can bring her off the train, or I can get off after obtaining permission from the Luofu General," Dan Heng said.

“I forgot.” March 7th stuck out her tongue. “Suddenly I’m not so interested in Luofu anymore.”

"Then why don't you stay in March?" Meng Huaifeng joked.

“No way! I still need to help Danheng find the current Dragon Lord.” March 7th immediately refused.

“You can leave it to us,” Meng Huaifeng said.

March 7th remained silent, glaring angrily at Meng Huaifeng.

"Greetings, distinguished guests of the Starry Sky Train. I am Tingyun, the ferry envoy of the Luofu Sky Ship Company Merchant Guild. I have been sent by Lord Yukong to receive you. May I ask your honorable name?" Tingyun had been waiting for a long time, having already arranged the docking location for the Starry Sky Train according to the system. She stepped forward and greeted you warmly.
