The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 116 Departed Martial Soul, Bai Heng

The air gradually became humid, and accompanied by the faint sound of waves, a blue phantom dragon emerged from behind Bai Lu.

"It was similar to when Danheng awakened; he succeeded," Meng Huaifeng said in a low voice.

"Ah, I knew I was lucky and had a long life. I never thought I would survive like this."

A lively and cheerful voice rang out, and suddenly a pale purple fox-person figure appeared beside Bai Lu.

Jingliu was completely stunned.

"Danfeng, you seem a little different? Why are you looking at me like that?" The fox-man tilted his head and asked Danheng in front of him strangely.

"I'm not Danfeng, my name is Danheng." Danheng asked uncertainly, "You are... Baiheng?"

“You look so much like Danfeng. Are you Danfeng’s brother? Damn it, after knowing you for so many years, I had no idea he had a brother. That’s right, I am Bai Heng. You can call me Sister Bai Heng.” Bai Heng said.

"Are you really Bai Heng?" Jing Liu came to his senses and took a few steps closer in disbelief to ask.

"Jing Liuliu, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me? Why are you wearing an eye patch? You look so different." Bai Heng was slightly annoyed. He walked up to Jing Liuliu and gently removed her eye patch, revealing her somewhat scarlet eyes.

"You still look better this way, but what happened to your eyes?" Bai Heng asked, puzzled.

Looking at the familiar face from his memory, Jingliu suddenly hugged Baiheng tightly, the touch so real.

"Huh? Jing Liuliu, what's wrong with you? Be gentle, be gentle, you're going to strangle me!" Bai Heng exclaimed, his mind filled with confusion. Everyone was so puzzled.

"Don't speak, let me hold you for a while." Jingliu's voice trembled. Her emotions were incredibly turbulent, as if she had a thousand words to say, but couldn't utter a single one.

Holding Bai Heng in his arms, it was as if a ray of sunlight shone into her shattered heart, gradually dispelling the darkness and coldness.

"Oh, okay," Bai Heng replied hastily.

Seeing the two women embracing, March 7th asked in a low voice, "What happened? How could awakening a martial soul also awaken a person?"

“Twin martial souls, separated martial souls, I didn’t expect this either, but this should be a good thing.” Meng Huaifeng replied in a low voice, not wanting to disturb the two of them.

After a long silence, Bai Heng said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, was I unconscious for a long time? Jing Liuliu, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back," Jingliu murmured, his scarlet eyes turning ice blue, his aura calmer than ever before.

"Jing Liuliu, don't do this, you're making me panic. How long have I been unconscious? What happened after I lost consciousness?" Bai Heng looked at Dan Heng for help.

There have been times before when star rafts have crashed and lost contact, but Jingliu has never reacted this strongly before. What exactly happened this time?

“You didn’t just faint; you’re really dead.” Dan Heng’s expression was complicated.

Seeing Bai Heng, he didn't lose control of his emotions like Jing Liu, but he was still somewhat moved.

"I... am dead? Then what am I now?" Bai Heng was somewhat stunned.

"You are now Bai Lu's martial spirit..." Dan Heng recounted Bai Heng's current condition and what happened after her death.

In the ensuing chaos, Dragon Lord Danfeng transformed into a dragon to confront the Abundant Envoy's negligence. Although he managed to entangle him for a time, he was ultimately no match for the envoy. In the critical moment, a starship pierced through everything like an arrow, and Danfeng was rescued by Bai Heng, one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, a fox-human flying warrior. However, Danfeng could only watch helplessly as Bai Heng met his death.

The girl struggled to crawl out of the ruins, holding aloft an absolute dark "sun," a deadly weapon capable of taking "Shuhu" down with her.

Danfeng's last memory of Baiheng was frozen in that instant, in that fleeting moment that felt like eternity.

The girl's fingers, the girl's face, the girl's body, are disappearing little by little. The "sun" that destroys everything is grinding everything around it into the finest dust, and then sweeping it into a storm of power.

In the end, all that was left for Danfeng was a wisp of Baiheng's hair and a few drops of blood.

Bai Heng's death intensified Dan Feng's already overwhelming burden of the "Chiming Clan's Reproduction Problem," leading her to conspire with Ying Xing to use Bai Heng's remaining hair and blood, the body of the Abundance God Envoy, a modified Dragon Transformation Technique, and the power of Abundance and the bloodline of the Dragon Ancestor to transform the deceased Bai Heng into a member of the Chiming Clan, allowing her to be reborn.

Their plan succeeded, but it also failed. 'She' did indeed resurrect, but she was a mindless, monstrous dragon that nearly destroyed the entire Scale Abyss Realm.

Then, she used the Mirror Flow Sword to slay the evil dragon. Knowing the origin of the evil dragon, she also lost herself at this moment, gradually falling into the demonic body, and finally losing her mind and killing her comrades.

Jing Yuan had no choice but to lead his army into battle, drawing his sword against his teacher. After the great battle, Jing Liu disappeared without a trace, hunting in the starry sea. Jing Yuan took over the heavy responsibility of general, protecting the immortal ship.

Danfeng was tortured and forced to shed his scales, then reincarnated as Danheng. After the evil dragon died, it transformed into the Wisdom Egg, from which Bailu was born. Yingxing tainted the flesh and blood of the Abundant Envoy, transforming into an immortal abomination...

"Have I been dead for over seven hundred years?" Bai Heng asked incredulously, then said with remorse, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you've become like this."

"None of this has anything to do with you. It's just fate playing tricks on us." Jing Liu stroked Bai Heng's soft hair and said gently.

For over seven hundred years, she had never felt so at peace.

"Everyone has to die eventually, what are you doing with Yingxing..." Bai Heng looked at Dan Heng, wanting to get angry, but suddenly remembered that he had been reincarnated and was no longer Dan Feng, but Dan Heng.

The slight annoyance in her eyes eventually turned into heartache, and she sighed, "Alas, Danheng, I've dragged you down and made you suffer too."

"Those are all in the past. I'm doing very well now." Dan Heng was very happy that Bai Heng didn't treat him as Dan Feng.

Bai Heng squatted down and looked at Bai Lu beside him, pinching her cute little face, but Bai Lu shook her head and dodged away.

"Is this me after my rebirth? As expected, whether I'm a fox-person or a Vidyadhara, I'm just as adorable. Little Bailu, call me sister." Bai Heng said with satisfaction.

“Sister,” Bai Lu said obediently. She had heard Dan Heng’s words and understood her origins, but she didn’t care. She was just herself.

“No wonder General Jingyuan comes to me for medical treatment all the time, even though he’s not sick.” Bai Lu suddenly realized something.

"Huh? Danheng, you're an anonymous passenger now!" Bai Heng suddenly noticed the train ticket on Danheng's clothes and asked excitedly.

"Well, thanks to the train for taking me in, otherwise I'd probably still be numbly working at the company right now," Dan Heng said with a faint smile.

"A train? Has the train reappeared? Back then, trains had almost disappeared. Although I was an unknown passenger, I had no chance to board one," Bai Heng said enviously.

It is not only the passengers on the train who are nameless travelers; most travelers who embark on their own journeys to explore their own destinies also consider themselves nameless travelers.

"Congratulations, Miss Bai Heng, on your reunion with your old friend. The Star Train is now on the Immortal Ship. Welcome aboard," Himeko invited.

Bai Heng turned to look at the group of people behind him, all of whom were carrying train tickets.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen so many nameless passengers. Can I join the train?" Bai Heng asked excitedly.

“Of course you can, but Miss Bai Heng is now Bai Lu’s martial spirit, so I’m afraid you can’t go too far away from her,” Ji Zi said with some regret.

The train generally does not refuse to let nameless passengers who are able to embark on their own pioneering journey join it.

Bai Heng then realized that he was no longer an independent individual, and the excitement on his face slowly subsided, turning into regret.

"I, I can join the train!" Bai Lu said excitedly, raising her little hand.

Bai Heng's eyes lit up. He couldn't force Xiao Bailu to join the train, but since she wanted to join herself, there was no problem!
As expected of me! Even after being reborn, I still yearn for exploration!
“Little White Dew, didn’t I tell you yesterday? You are the Dragon Lord, and you need General Jingyuan’s permission to join the train,” Meng Huaifeng said.

“Yes, Jingyuan probably won’t agree.” Bai Heng sighed.

"Sister, sister, if you persuade Danheng to return to Luofu and become the Dragon Lord, I can join you on the train," Bai Lu tugged at Bai Heng's clothes and pleaded.

Dan Heng glared at Xiao Bailu with ill intent. "I painstakingly returned to Luofu to perfect your inheritance, and you actually want me to be your slave? Is this how you repay me?"

Bai Heng glanced at Dan Heng with some interest, and Dan Heng gave him an awkward yet polite smile.

"You're still plotting this? You can persuade General Jingyuan to get on the train, but you can't persuade Danheng to get off." Meng Huaifeng gently tapped Bailu's head.

Bai Lu covered her head and muttered, "What if Dan Heng agrees himself?"

"I disagree," Dan Heng said expressionlessly.

"Okay," Bai Lu said disappointedly.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm just not meant to be on the Star Train. I'm happy to have been able to ride it and take a look." Although Bai Heng was a little disappointed, he quickly came to terms with it and patted Dan Heng on the shoulder, saying, "Even though you're no longer Dan Feng, please carry on my legacy of pioneering spirit."

“Yes, I will send you a copy of the exploration log after each exploration.” Dan Heng nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, haha," Bai Heng said with a smile.

Jingliu quietly looked at Baiheng's smiling face, which was like sunshine.

"By the way, where's Jingyuan?" Bai Heng asked.

It seems we won't see Ying Xing anymore; he's not even on the Immortal Ship.

“Yesterday, the Great Lord of Annihilation invaded the Immortal Ship, and the Medicine King secretly spread chaos. General Jingyuan should still be busy, right?” Meng Huaifeng said.

"The Great Lord of Annihilation? We must go help him!" Bai Heng's expression changed drastically.

"Don't worry, they've already been driven away, the unrest has been suppressed, all that's left is to clean up the mess," Meng Huaifeng said.

"That's good. Was it you guys who helped?" Bai Heng breathed a sigh of relief and asked expectantly, thinking about the Nameless Guest's attributes.

"That's right, Lord Extinction took several bats from me, the Galactic Batman," Xing said proudly, raising her little face.

“I also hit the target with several arrows,” said March 7.

"That's because Huanlong thought your attack was the weakest, so he deliberately ran into it," Xing said.

"Will you die if you don't expose me? You're just a fringe observer. Besides General Jingyuan, the main force consists of Sister Jizi and Danheng." March 7th punched Xing in embarrassment and anger.

"That's amazing! Truly remarkable," Bai Heng exclaimed.

“We have Jingyuan’s contact information. Should we ask him to come?” March 7th asked.

"No need, no need. Let's wait until he's finished. Don't distract him." Bai Heng waved his hand, emphasizing that business was more important.

"I suddenly realized that General Jingyuan has had a tough time too, having to fight to the death with his master and personally punish two good brothers," March 7th remarked with emotion.

Bai Heng's expression fell, and Jing Liu's temporarily normal eyes also dimmed slightly.

"Since you're so good at talking, say more." Meng Huaifeng's lips twitched slightly.

"Oh, just when he needs it most... Waaah~"

Meng Huaifeng covered Sanyueqi's mouth and said speechlessly, "Idiot, can't you understand good and bad words?"

On March 7th, she suddenly realized and glared at Meng Huaifeng, "Can't you just be more direct?"

"Sorry, um, let's not think about those unhappy things anymore. Do you want to go out and have some fun?" March 7th asked.

“Okay, I also want to see how Luofu has changed since then,” Bai Heng replied.

There were too many people, so the group gradually separated after they went outside.

Jingliu simply followed quietly beside Baiheng. Baiheng wanted to ask Jingliu about her experiences over the years, but Jingliu just shook her head and refused to talk about the past. She didn't want Baiheng to be sad or upset because of her.

Bai Heng was helpless. Jing Liu had always been cold and taciturn. He had finally managed to thaw the ice beauty, but she was even colder after waking up.

Fortunately, although it's colder, my feelings for myself haven't changed. I can always warm it up again.

Furthermore, Dan Heng is ultimately not Dan Feng, and there is a subtle barrier between him and Bai Heng. However, this is only temporary, and Bai Heng believes that they can soon become friends again.

Even though the two of them were both incredibly quiet, the atmosphere among the three of them didn't cool down with Bai Heng around.

Bai Heng couldn't stray too far from Bai Lu, so on March 7th, Xing and Meng Huaifeng accompanied Bai Lu, following behind, creating an equally lively atmosphere.

In a sparsely populated corner of Changletian, Ren stood with his arms crossed and eyes closed, waiting quietly.

After he insisted on coming to Luofu, Elio gave him a small script, saying that as long as he waited here, he would soon be able to see the person he wanted to see.

"They're here," Ren suddenly muttered to himself.

He sensed Danheng's presence.

Ren hesitated for a moment. Could it be that little brat's clone again?

However, he quickly banished the thought from his mind.

Elio said that he could wait to see the person he wanted to see, and that person was the real Danheng, not a clone.

Dan Heng's aura drew ever closer, and Ren suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with madness and death.

The fragmented sword appeared in his hand without him noticing. The restlessness within him made him grab the blade with his left hand and slash it hard.

Only pain and death could alleviate the suffering in his heart.

"Wait, there's a smell of blood!"

Dan Heng, holding the Cloud-Striking Spear, stood protectively in front of everyone, warily looking in the direction from which the smell of blood was coming.

“Danheng is just as reliable as Danfeng,” Bai Heng said to Meng Huaifeng and the others from behind Danheng.

"Of course! Teacher Danheng is amazing. It seems like there's nothing he can't do," March 7th said proudly.

"You don't know how to fix elevators," Xing reminded him.
