The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 146 The Dim Sun

“Perhaps, but I’m sorry, Queen Keisha, I must refuse,” Meng Huaifeng said without hesitation.

Keisha was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "Could it be that you have someone you like? Alright, I understand, I won't force you. It's a real shame, I was hoping to find them a handsome man, but it seems that will have to be in vain."

Keisha was deeply troubled by the problem of finding spouses for the large number of older, single angels in the Angel Civilization.

"You have someone you like? Who?" March 7th asked, bewildered.

"You believe whatever others say?" Meng Huaifeng looked at March 7th and sighed.

"Oh, it was fake after all. You scared me." March 7th patted his chest a few times and breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Huaifeng roughly rubbed March 7's pink fur a few times, which angered March 7.

Himeko watched this scene with a smile.

Xing plucked a strand of her own hair, flew it to Keisha, and handed it to her: "Here."

"I'm looking for male gods for the angels." Keisha was rather speechless.

If it's lilies, the angelic civilization has plenty of them; why would they need to look for them outside?
“What’s the difference between me and my idol? I can do anything he can do,” Xing retorted, unconvinced.

“Something’s missing,” Keisha said.

Xing was about to ask another question when Himeko pulled her back, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, Xing is still young and doesn't know many things yet."

“That’s understandable, she’s still just a child. Many angels are hundreds of years old before they learn about that kind of knowledge,” Keisha said nonchalantly, having already learned their ages from Yan.

"I'm not little, I also want a guardian angel girl," Xing pouted. All she wanted was to get close to a beautiful girl, what was wrong with that?

"Teacher Danheng is still on our train and hasn't come yet. I don't know if he'll be willing. Danheng is amazing. Many people online say he's the perfect male god," March 7th boasted for Danheng.

"Oh? Then I'll trouble you to ask them." Keisha said with interest.

On March 7th, he hurriedly contacted Danheng: "Danheng, Danheng, do you want a wife?"

"??? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Dan Heng asked in surprise.

“You didn’t come. The Angel Queen is looking for male gods for the angels on our train, so I’m asking you,” March 7th said.

"Did anyone else want it?"

"No, Uncle Yang and Dawn are both married, and Huaifeng also refused."

“I don’t need it either,” Dan Heng refused without hesitation.

The Vidyadhara clan is infertile and has no sexual desire, so what use would he have for a wife?
For Danheng, the partners he approves of are the most important and closest to him.

March 7 looked at Keisha somewhat awkwardly. Everyone had refused. Wouldn't that make the Angel Queen feel embarrassed and look down on the angels?
It seems better not to mention Danheng at all.

But this is a good thing. How can we forget Danheng when there's something good happening?

"Um..." March 7th chuckled awkwardly, trying to explain.

"Queen Keisha, we nameless travelers explore the universe and venture into the unknown. We all possess a spirit and will for freedom and adventure, and we instinctively resist forced arrangements such as fate or matchmaking. Please understand. We value like-minded people and the natural bonds that form through daily interactions," Meng Huaifeng said.

“You may have some misunderstandings about our genetic matching. It’s not mandatory; it’s just to provide an opportunity for both parties to get to know each other. Whether or not to be together in the end is up to the two of you,” Keisha sighed.

"I'm sorry," Meng Huaifeng said sincerely.

“Alright, Ah-Zhui, show the guests around the Angelic City, and I believe you will gain a deeper understanding of the beauty of angels. Miss Himeko, would you mind letting me witness the methods of the unknown universe?” Keisha challenged Himeko.

Although Yan had practiced with the train crew several times, their skill levels were limited, and many things could not be demonstrated.

"Of course," Himeko agreed.

Keisha and Himeko quickly left the Angel Nebula and began their battle in the vacuum of space.

Himeko unleashed a variety of powerful technological weapons, including planet-destroying cannons, antimatter cannons, and high-energy particle cannons, with drones being just one of the least noticeable types.

"The Eye of Insight".

"Due to the influence of unknown technology and energy, reading failed."

Keisha had anticipated this; if the younger members of the train crew could withstand the Eye of Insight, how could the older ones not be able to?

Countless attacks enveloped Keisha.

“Sacred Realm”.

The power of various attacks weakened at a visible rate, and when they landed on Keisha, they were easily blocked by Silverwing.

Himeko threw a grenade, which exploded near Keisha, instantly creating a black hole.

This is a product of Himeko's research on Walter's pseudo-black hole.

Keisha rewrote the formula for local space curvature, and the black hole quickly collapsed and disappeared.

"Divine intervention".

"Intervention successful. Due to the influence of unknown energy, it cannot be destroyed. The intervention is being corrected. Estimated time: 1.32 seconds."

Himeko's technological weapons were momentarily silenced. The blessing of the Pioneer allowed the Fate Walker to quickly adapt to various environments, and weapons affected by the Pioneer's power were also protected.

Keisha immediately manipulated Silverwing to attack Himeko, and Silverwing Judgment slashed at Himeko and her weapon.

Keisha's divine intervention can temporarily alter the laws of physics and render technological weapons ineffective, but Himeko's strength does not entirely depend on technology; her destiny power is equally formidable.

Previously, Himeko's strongest asset was her technological power, but since Meng Huaifeng joined the train crew, Himeko has been racing ahead in exploring her destiny, while her technological advancements have lagged behind, resulting in limited progress in her intellectual development, which is now lagging behind her overall strength.

Himeko casually released a shield to protect her weapon, then wielded her monomolecular saw and slashed at the most powerful section of Silverwing Judgment.

Countless sparks flew as a huge gash was sawed through Keisha's silver wings, and several teeth were also broken off from Himeko's monomolecular saw.

The aftershocks of the Silver Wing Judgment caused ripples to appear around Himeko's shield, but it was ultimately blocked perfectly.

The weapon, now modified, bared its fangs again and attacked Keisha. With the enhancement of the Wisdom Path, each attack was enough to destroy a planet.

The sacred domain was operating at full power, and the suns of countless star systems dimmed slightly.

Keisha's abilities have a strong suppressive effect on the technological side; technological weapons alone cannot defeat her.

Himeko, dressed in red, was as aggressive as fire, and charged towards Keisha with a saw in hand.

Silver wings dispersed, and countless streams of light shot towards Himeko from all directions.

Dozens of drones were launched, circling around Himeko and deflecting the stream of light one by one.

Keisha briefly rewrote the rules again, defining speed as 0.

The drone was frozen in place, and countless silver blades broke through Himeko's defenses and shot towards her.

Himeko blocked all the silver wings in front of her and activated the protective badge she had once given to Meng Huaifeng.

The protective badge is a product of the fusion of technology and pioneering spirit, strong enough to withstand several attacks from the Envoys, and less affected by Keisha's interference. Himeko has already approached Keisha, and a wormhole is rapidly opening in front of Keisha.

Himeko threw out a spatial disruption device, and the wormhole in front of Keisha instantly collapsed.

"How many years has it been since you did it yourself?"

Keisha sighed, took out her Royal Sword from the Sacred Treasury, and faced Himeko.

Two figures intertwined in the vacuum, while countless silver-winged streaks of light and drones entangled around them.

High-powered but easily identifiable technological weapons are no longer useful.

The king's command, which could easily destroy a divine body, was like an ordinary weapon when facing Himeko. Even if it hit her squarely, it could only barely break her defenses and had no special effects. The injury was not even considered minor and healed very quickly.

Keisha's divine body couldn't withstand Himeko's attack, but her divine body could recover quickly. Himeko's monomolecular saw was surrounded by scorching flames, burning Keisha's divine body and making her need more energy to recover.

"Huh, the sky suddenly got so dark, is it a solar eclipse?"

March 7th, who was visiting the Angel City, said strangely.

Meng Huaifeng looked up at the sky: "It's not a solar eclipse. The sun wasn't blocked; it just dimmed."

"Is your sun going to go out?" March 7th exclaimed, looking at Angel Chase.

"Don't worry, we can just bring another one from another star system once it's extinguished. Queen Keisha is drawing energy from it. Miss Himeko's strength is truly formidable, requiring Queen Keisha to use so much energy," Zhui replied.

"You keep extracting energy from stars all the time. There are so many stars in the universe that you can't possibly squander them all," Meng Huaifeng couldn't help but complain.

"We usually use dark energy, and only draw on stellar energy when the battle is too intense and we don't have enough dark energy. Moreover, we only use stars in star systems without any life or civilization," Zhui said somewhat embarrassedly.

Influenced by the Divine River Civilization, the world's genetic god-making technology has developed too far ahead of its time, leaving other aspects unable to keep up. With the threat of ultimate fear looming overhead, the only option is to continuously research and upgrade the divine body to become stronger and resist ultimate fear.

Although energy was taken into consideration, it ultimately could not keep up with the rate at which the divine body consumed energy, so the energy of the stars could only be used crudely, resulting in extremely low energy utilization.

The city of Angels is mostly inhabited by retired angels, and their numbers are not large. Apart from the beautiful scenery, it appears extremely desolate.

It was filled with an ethereal aura.

In other words, there's no popularity.

It's fine for a short time, but it gets boring after a while.

"It's boring. It's beautiful here, but it's not as fun as Earth," March 7 said, sounding rather bored.

"If you're feeling bored, why don't you come and play in my lab?" Tianji Wang Hexi appeared out of nowhere and said to the train crew.

"It's really beautiful," Xing praised.

"You have excellent taste," He Xi praised Xing.

"You want to study us?" Xingji asked, sounding quite experienced.

"Don't make it sound so terrifying. You are guests of the angels. How could I do such a thing? I just want to understand the nature of your power. So, are you willing to cooperate?" He Xi said in a slightly tactful way.

“We’ll have to pay more,” Xing said, displaying a keen business sense.

“No,” Walter stopped him.

They previously allowed the Black Tower to study the stars because the Black Tower made a commitment, and they understood the Black Tower.

As for He Xi, they didn't understand what would happen if Xing was actually dissected and sliced ​​up.
"What's so fun about the lab?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

He wasn't sure if Pipi Xi would do something like that. He Xi himself wasn't a rule-abiding person, and he didn't care much about people from other civilizations, except for his fellow angels.

Keisha's sense of justice and order was not important to He Xi.

"Then let me experience your energy properties right here." He Xi was somewhat disappointed and had no choice but to settle for second best.

“That’s no problem,” Walter nodded.

Once the two universes are connected, these things will be easily accessible to angels.

Each train crew demonstrated its capabilities.

"Hmm, imaginary energy, the power of expansion, the power of destruction, the power of preservation..." He Xi touched them one by one, and the dark matter computer behind him frantically analyzed and calculated.

Finally, he arrived in front of Meng Huaifeng.

"I heard from Yan that you have an ability similar to our Sacred Code?" He Xi asked with interest.

“That’s right, it’s an etheric editor from Punklord. Apart from the natives of Punklord, very few outsiders in the universe can master it,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"How about we switch?" He Xi suggested.

You have one thing, I have one thing, and even if we exchange them, we each still only have one thing.

Knowledge is different. If you have one kind of knowledge and I have another kind of knowledge, and we exchange them, then we will each have both kinds of knowledge.

The Angelic Civilization had exchanged ideas with the Super God Academy and even collaborated on designing the Galactic Force; they did not reject the exchange of knowledge.

Of course, such exchanges are limited to the premise of reciprocity.

He Xi could not possibly exchange the knowledge of the divine body for the knowledge of the other three generations of divine bodies.

If it's about exchanging knowledge of the third-generation divine body for knowledge at the level of a divine body, then that's another story.

“Ether editing is generally impossible for the average person to learn,” Meng Huaifeng cautioned.

“Coincidentally, apart from the divine body, it’s also difficult to fully utilize the divine code. We just need to learn from each other and make up for our weaknesses, right?” He Xi said.

“Then I agree.” Meng Huaifeng nodded.

The two exchanged information, each transmitting their etheric edits and sacred codes to the other.

With a new research goal in mind, He Xi couldn't wait to leave.

Meng Huaifeng suppressed his desire to study the sacred code and continued to accompany everyone in learning about the history of the angel civilization.

After some time, Himeko returned, seemingly having changed her clothes.

"Sister Himeko, how was it? Did you win?" March 7 asked excitedly.

"We didn't win." Himeko shook her head, a proud look appearing on her face.

"But we didn't lose either," Himeko continued. "It's hard to determine a winner in a short time, but if we keep fighting, it will cause many stars to go out, which would be too wasteful."

Himeko looked reluctant. Right now, those star systems are devoid of life and civilization, but who knows if life might emerge hundreds of millions of years from now?
It seems that other civilizations in this universe are just as wasteful, even more so than angels. It is said that a single calculation of a cosmic civilization by the Great Clock consumes the energy of thousands of stars.

There are indeed many stars in the universe, but that is not an excuse for reckless consumption. Many seemingly abundant resources are thought to be inexhaustible until they are about to be depleted.

I wonder how many voids will appear in this universe in tens or hundreds of millions of years, leaving the entire starry sky pitch black.

　I accidentally wrote a bit of the dark side, then suddenly remembered this is supposed to be a light comedy. Remembering how my grades plummeted when I wrote the dark side story last time, I immediately deleted it and rewrote it...emmmm
