The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 131 Angel Yan

"How is this world?" March 7 asked impatiently as the three of them got out of the driver's seat.

Under everyone's gaze, Meng Huaifeng spoke: "This world is a bit tragic. With the appearance of spacetime wormholes in the sky, a series of civilizations, including aliens, demons, and angels, have descended upon Earth, bringing enormous crises and wars. Earth inherits the legacy of the Super God Academy and the Deno civilization, forming the Super Soldier Corps to defend Earth. In the baptism of war, the Super Soldier Corps continues to grow and eventually becomes a god. Earth will become the focus of attention of the gods and the center of the universe."

"This is too tragic! A higher civilization invading a lower civilization, is there no one in this universe to do anything about such an immoral thing?" March 7 asked.

“There are those who are in charge, the Angelic Civilization. However, precisely because they are interfering too much, they have come to oppose most advanced civilizations. With other civilizations joining forces, they are starting to lose control,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"However, it's also possible that because the ultimate fear is about to descend, the gods urgently need the baptism of a great battle to grow stronger, so they let it go?" Meng Huaifeng speculated.

"What is the ultimate fear?" Himeko asked.

"Every hundred thousand years or so, civilizations in this world are inexplicably destroyed. The people of this universe call this the ultimate fear. The last civilization to be destroyed was called the Divine River Civilization. Only a small fraction of its people survived. To combat the ultimate fear, they established the Super God Academy throughout the universe, leading various civilizations onto the path of technological and genetic godhood..."

Meng Huaifeng then gave a brief introduction to the various civilizations and their general history in this universe.

"Could it be that advanced civilizations in the past periodically eliminated existing civilizations to prevent new civilizations from threatening them?" Walter frowned.

"No way, Uncle Yang, this is an entire universe's civilization, wiped out in one fell swoop? That's too dark!" March 7th shuddered, somewhat frightened.

"Don't apply the situation of our universe to other universes. After experiencing two other universes, I've found that without the influence of a powerful and selfless star god, most universes would likely be following the path of the Dark Forest Law," Walter said in a deep voice.

Redhead and Dawn looked rather grim; their planet was likely the cause of the disaster.

"Luckily, I'm not from another universe," March 7 said thankfully.

“Although our universe doesn’t have the Dark Forest Theory, there are other threats, such as the breeding of Star Gods and the destruction of Star Gods. It’s hard to say which one is better.” Himeko stroked March Seven’s pink hair, calming her down after learning about the Dark Forest Theory.

“For those whose homelands were destroyed by the insect plague, the Destroyer Legion, or the Bountiful People, other universes may be better. But for those in other universes who encountered advanced civilizations and were inexplicably destroyed, our universe is better,” Walter said.

"Good or bad can't be determined by words or comparisons; you can only know by experiencing it firsthand. In reality, most people in the universe will never encounter either of these two situations in their lifetime, so there's no difference for them," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Forget it, let's not discuss this anymore, it's too creepy." March 7th rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and complained, "Why do we face crises wherever we go? This is so unreasonable! Can't we just have a relaxing and enjoyable exploration trip?"

"Let me count. Yalilo VI, Ling Cage, Luofu, and if we add the Black Tower Space Station, in just five stations, we've been saviors four times! We can't just ignore this world, so that's five times! My god, this is too outrageous! Are all the planets facing crises, and there isn't a single peaceful one?" March 7th counted on his fingers, his expression growing increasingly surprised.

"There's nothing we can do. Many people feel that going to a peaceful world is pointless," Meng Huaifeng shrugged.

“Ahem, there’s no need to say that.” Walter coughed lightly. “Look on the bright side, if we hadn’t come, these worlds would have suffered so much more, or even been completely destroyed. Although it’s tiring, it’s still worth it.”

"Uncle Yang is right. March has no sense of responsibility at all. This time, I'll have to show my great power again." Xing felt that she could never have too many savior roles.

"Who says I'm not prepared? I just learned swordsmanship!" March 7th glared at Xing.

"According to Huaifeng, the so-called gods in this universe are all technological gods who follow the path of genetic enhancement. Their physical combat strength may not be strong, but by utilizing technology, their destructive power should barely reach the level of an Envoy. Everyone should be extra careful in this world," Himeko warned.

The sun god detonating the sun and destroying the galaxy does indeed barely reach the level of an envoy in terms of expressiveness.

If Himeko is well-prepared, she can also achieve this level of destructive power through technological means.

However, this obviously cannot be used as a regular method. Under normal circumstances, even the top gods of various civilizations at their peak, including all conventional technological means, can at most reach the level of a top-tier Destiny Walker, or even less.

For example, the first War God of the Norse Star split the home planet of the Lieyang Civilization in two with a single axe stroke.

Keisha might be a bit stronger, but only to a limited extent; she is still a top-tier Destiny Walker.

The gap between top-tier destiny walkers is greater than the gap between a human and a dog.

The weak can be cleaved into planets, while the strong can be cleaved into stars. The diameter difference between planets and stars can be hundreds of times, and their volume can be millions of times.

“We’ll be careful,” everyone replied in unison.

“There are so many civilizations in this universe. Since we’re here, let’s explore it together. The trip is tentatively scheduled for six months. What do you say, Pam?” Pam said.

The worlds of Douluo Continent and Ling Cage are unaware of the existence and location of other civilizations in the same universe, and searching for them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, this world clearly has other civilizations, so it is worth exploring.

Anyway, no matter how long you stay here, you'll only have one day to go back, so you can be quite flexible with your stay.

The main reason is that these civilizations are scattered throughout the universe, and the time required is indeed longer.

“Okay, we can adjust if anything unexpected happens later.” Himeko nodded and arranged, “Our train has more and more passengers, so this pioneering trip will be divided into two groups.”

“This planet beneath our feet is about to face a crisis. We cannot stand idly by. March, Star, and Wind, the three of you are the strongest. Form a group and stay on this planet to help as the situation develops. Welt will lead the team.” Himeko looked at Welt.

“It just so happens that this planet is somewhat similar to my home planet, which interests me,” Walter said with a touch of nostalgia.

"That's great. Zhu Qing, Hong Kou, and Po Xiao, the three of you will form a group, and I will lead the team to explore other relatively safe civilizations. Dan Heng, I'll trouble you to stay on the train this time."

"No problem." Dan Heng nodded calmly.

"Our group will travel by train to another civilization before disembarking. If the situation on that planet is still relatively peaceful by then, you can use the Realm Anchor to teleport there and take a look together. But don't do it too often, okay? The distance is so far, Pam will be upset if we consume too much fuel," Himeko said with a smile.

“I’m not that stingy, Pam!” Pam said, stamping her furry feet.

The train's fuel can be stored separately when it's full, and it has many other uses.

After Akivilli disappeared, the nameless traveler was unable to explore new worlds and could only barely maintain the previous route. Fuel was insufficient to cover expenses, and after thousands of years, the stored fuel was finally exhausted and the ship ran aground.

So after setting sail again, Pam often fell into fuel anxiety and carefully calculated the costs. Passengers also tried to minimize the use of boundary anchoring until Meng Huaifeng joined the train, which finally got rid of the fuel shortage.

However, Pam's fuel anxiety is incurable; for him, the more fuel he stores, the more at ease he feels.

“As usual, I’ll go and scout out the general situation of this planet first, and you guys go and pack up,” Walter said.

"Uncle Yang, I have a question. With our technology, we could explore an entire planet, wouldn't we? Would that count as exploration?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

“Yes, but there are two sayings I don’t know if you’ve heard: ‘What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand.’ ‘Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.’” Walter pushed up his glasses and explained like a teacher.

"So you're saying that doing that will also lead you forward in terms of your destiny, but it's nowhere near as far as going further by exploring on your own?" Meng Huaifeng said.

“That’s right. There’s another reason: if the investigation is too detailed, it’s a provocation and a threat to the local forces, and it’s also more likely to trigger alarms in some heavily guarded areas. Once discovered, it will lead to animosity with the local forces,” Walter added.

Meng Huaifeng nodded in realization. It was like someone looking at his social media profile or WeChat Moments; he didn't care. But if someone tried to pry into his private photo album, he would settle the score with that person.

……

Juxia City.

The unique spatial and energy fluctuations that appeared when the Star Train appeared not only attracted the attention of the Super God Academy, but also the attention of the angels who were secretly observing Earth.

Angel Yan stood in the air, her form concealed, her pure white wings fluttering slowly behind her.

His eyes rolled back as his Eye of Insight read information from the dark dimension. "The train that rushed out of the wormhole went straight to the city center. This positioning technology needs improvement."

"Hmm, very strong protective technology, incomprehensible. Strange energy, I've never seen it before. Which civilization developed this? But judging from their protection of ordinary people, it should be classified as part of the just order."

"We can only read the data of the train's appearance, but not the data inside the train. It seems we need to go find them ourselves."

"Wait, this is... Galaxy Power, the God of War of Nostar? A loser, a scoundrel, tsk, a dignified main god raised like this? What is the Super God Academy planning?"

After analyzing the protective power for a long time without making any progress, Yan finally gave up, spread her wings and flew into the universe, where she found the Star Train, which was not deliberately hidden.

"Hey, is anyone in the car?" Angel Yan knocked on the car door and asked in a relaxed tone.

Inside the train, everyone looked at Angel Yan through the windows.

"She's so beautiful." Xing's eyes widened.

"Is this an angel?" Himeko said, opening the car door and getting out.

She will not be allowed onto the train until it is certain whether she is friend or foe.

"Hello, Miss Angel, we are nameless passengers on the Starry Sky Train. My name is Himeko. May I ask your name?" Himeko asked kindly.

After Meng Huaifeng's brief introduction to several top civilizations in this universe, everyone's first impression of the Angel Civilization was quite good.

"Hello, Ms. Himeko, I am the angel, Yan." Yan searched the database for information on the Starry Sky Train and the Nameless Passenger, but found no matching data.

“Star Train, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it before,” Yan said, frowning.

"We come from outside this universe and are new to this place, so it's normal that we haven't heard of you."

"Outside the known universe?" Yan asked in surprise.

"You could say that," Himeko nodded.

Yan's expression turned serious. No wonder the protective technology and the energy used were completely unrelated to the technological system of the known universe.

Yan used the Eye of Insight again to try to read the train crew's hidden information.

Meng Huaifeng frowned as he looked at the data stream emanating from Yan's body.

There is definitely no record of their dark information in this universe, so it is impossible to find out the train crew's past.

However, it can find surface data, such as height, weight, bust, waist, hip measurements, and even where there is a mole or birthmark on the body.

Under Yan's discerning eye, everyone else appeared as if they were naked.

Meng Huaifeng did not hesitate to use the Ether editor to cut off its information.

Yan was slightly taken aback. What kind of method was this, that it could so easily break through the Eye of Insight?

“Angel Yan, you have been rather rude. Is this how angels conduct themselves by invading others’ privacy without permission?” Meng Huaifeng said coldly.

Himeko frowned slightly. It seemed that although the Angelic Civilization upheld justice and protected the weak, it had unknowingly developed an arrogant and condescending attitude.

Noticing that the train crew had become a little distant towards her, Yan teased, "Kid, don't be so angry. I'm not going to look at any rubbish. Besides, even if a goddess as beautiful as me saw it, you wouldn't be at a disadvantage, would you?"

"What? What did you see? No, I need to see it again!" Xing stared intently at Yan.

Yan looked at Xing in surprise: "Okay, kid, when it's just the two of us, I'll let you watch to your heart's content."

"Then let's go to my room. There's a cat in my room that can do backflips." Xing rushed over, grabbed Yan's hand, and started running towards the train.

Startled, March 7 quickly grabbed Xing's other hand: "Xing! Don't be fooled by mature and beautiful older sisters! What if a fight breaks out on the train?"

Yan didn't expect Xing to be serious, and panicked a little. He tried to pull his hand away but couldn't. Xing's hand was as stiff as steel and wouldn't budge.

Fortunately, the March 7th Star General pulled her back, but Yan refused to back down: "It seems someone doesn't welcome me. Let's do it next time. Next time you can come to see your sister by yourself and see whatever you want."

Yan hooked Xing's chin with her other hand.

"Is she really an angel? I think she looks more like a fox spirit than the fox people from the Immortal Boat," March 7 muttered to herself.

Immortal Ship? Fox People? Yan's ears twitched, accurately capturing the key words. Is this a civilization from beyond the known universe?

"The most obscene angel in the known universe, the infamous Old Driver, the Queen of Filth, it's no surprise that the angel civilization has reached the lowest point of morals." Meng Huaifeng replied directly without even turning on the team voice chat.

"You...you detected me? When?" Yan clutched her breastplate, asking incredulously. Why hadn't she noticed anything?

"Guess?" Meng Huaifeng smiled smugly. "Go ahead and guess. You guess and then you won't say a word. It's hilarious. You didn't investigate at all; you relied entirely on your original world's plot."

"Now you know how it feels to be spied on when you randomly probe someone else's background."

Yan's expression shifted several times. She had already investigated everything but couldn't change anything. She pretended to be magnanimous and put her hand down, acting as if she didn't care, and said, "Little boy, am I pretty? Have you fallen in love with me?"

"So-so," Meng Huaifeng said, pursing his lips.

"Let me see it too." Xing nudged Meng Huaifeng.

"You actually watched it?" March 7th reached out and pinched Meng Huaifeng's waist with her little hand.

"Hiss~ No, no, I was just kidding her. I found out from somewhere else, you know that," Meng Huaifeng said hurriedly.

Yan breathed a sigh of relief; now it was her turn to be smug.

After laughing for a while, Yan said with a straight face, "I apologize for what happened earlier. Earth has been targeted by several god-making civilizations, and disaster is imminent. I just wanted to confirm whether you are in a just and orderly position, and what your purpose is in coming here."

“You can think of the Nameless Travelers as travelers who bravely embark on a pioneering journey to explore the unknown universe. Our purpose here is simply to explore since we've never been here before. However, because the planet beneath our feet is about to face a crisis, we have an additional purpose: to help this planet,” Himeko said.

This is only one side of the story, but considering their willingness to protect ordinary people when they appeared, Angel Yan chooses to believe them for the time being.

"Have you all heard of the angels' justice and order?" Yan asked.

"I've heard a little about it," Ji Zi said, having just overheard it from Meng Huaifeng.

"So, how about learning about justice and order?" Yan tilted her head slightly.

"All ears."
