The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 151 The Road to the Future: Immersive Training
Meng Huaifeng didn't have much talent or skill in combat, and his combat strength was only average among fellow Destiny Walkers of the same level.

After receiving the Phantom Gun, a custom weapon crafted for him by Blade, he could barely be considered excellent at real-time editing of the Phantom Gun.

But this is far from enough.

Therefore, Meng Huaifeng learned the "Heaven and Earth Transformation" technique from Xing and Sun Wukong to enhance his combat power.

As Meng Huaifeng analyzed the two versions of the Law of Heaven and Earth, he realized that modifying them to suit his own needs was not easy.

Even minor changes can cause the skill's logic to break down, rendering it ineffective, let alone integrating its advantages.

Meng Huaifeng is not a genius; he can do it, but it will take him too long.

Meng Huaifeng pondered for a moment, realizing that he seemed to have fallen into a misconception.

Having mastered the etheric editing technology that rewrites reality, I only need to add a little bit of my thinking power to fully unleash the potential of this skill.

Why bother modifying skills to suit your own needs?
It's because my ethereal editing skills are insufficient; it consumes too much of the resources of real-world editing and is not practical.

But... as Meng Huaifeng looked at the Phantom Gun in his hand, countless sparks of thought collided in his mind.

Why can the Ethereum editor freely edit the Phantom Gun?

Because it can be illusory, and illusory things consume very little resources to edit. As long as it becomes real at the moment of attack, the resource consumption will increase.

Aside from virtual things, what other things require very little editing effort?
data!

In the eyes of the Ether editor, reality is a real game world.

And I, who control the Ethereum editor, am a player.

Players, games, characters—there are no vital points, only health bars.

The Body of Data!

If you can find a way to temporarily transform yourself into a data entity, then just like the Phantom Gun, rewriting will be very easy and the consumption will be greatly reduced.

By slightly editing your data to match the skill requirements, you can perfectly unleash the full potential of the skill.

Not only can he perfectly execute the Law of Heaven and Earth, but he can also perfectly perform the Cloud Chanting Technique!
These skills are real and consistent with reality; they only require the imaginary energy needed to cast a skill normally.

What I need to maintain using Ether editing is merely a tiny bit of data in the rewritten data body.

You don't even need these skills to use any ability you want, but because you don't have a real foundation, the consumption will be greater.

But it is still far less physically demanding than directly editing and rewriting reality.

How then can it be transformed into data?
The fifth soul skill, Real Game, creates a game character in reality.

Isn't this the perfect reference template?

Now that I have a game character, I also have one.

All that's left is figuring out how to make me a game character.

Microwormhole transport technology deconstructs itself, a divine body, elementalization...

These can all provide insights into how to transform research into data.

We don't even need to fully research it. As long as we have an idea, add a little bit of my thinking power, and use Ether editing to rewrite reality to fill in the last missing piece, that will suffice.

However, the more complete the research on the Data Body is, the lower the cost of maintaining the Data Body through Ether Editing.

The Data Body is not just about allowing Meng Huaifeng to perfectly use skills that don't meet the requirements. It has no vital points, is easy to recover from, and can also use Ether editing to add various buffs to himself.

Once the research on the Data Body is successful, Meng Huaifeng's combat power will increase exponentially!

Meng Huaifeng's eyes lit up.

So, does this mean I've gone down a different path from Silver Wolf?
Silver Wolf is skilled at casting enemies into the game world and then using game monsters to defeat them.

He, on the other hand, edited himself into a game character and dealt with enemies in the real world.

Silver Wolf prefers that fighting style and is equally capable of doing it his way.

But this is the only way I can do it.

There's nothing I can do; my skills aren't up to par, so I have to resort to shortcuts.

However, the road ahead is equally bright.

Microwormhole transport technology is easy to obtain; it's taught at the Super God Academy, so he can learn it there.

Let's start with the microwormhole transport technology.

……

Fortunately, thanks to Monkey King's ability to create clones, Meng Huaifeng had plenty of free time, even though he had more things to study.

"Today's target: the altar on the high mountain in the desert. Let's go!" March 7th said energetically.

The train crew arrived at a high mountain in a western desert, where there was an ancient religious building.

"Legend has it that this is where angels saved the world and sealed away demons. I wonder if it's true." March 7th gently touched the ancient stone pillar.

“The buildings here look quite old, and there’s no sign of modern technology,” Walter remarked after surveying the area.

"It's a pity that Sister Yan left Blue Star, otherwise we could ask her if it's true." March 7 said regretfully, "However, we have the all-powerful Huaifeng, let's quickly check the true history of this place."

Meng Huaifeng searched for information about everything in the surrounding world and chuckled, "We've finally run into each other."

"What did you bump into?" March 7 asked curiously.

“A demon is truly sealed here,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"Then let's dig him out quickly," Xing said excitedly.

"It was sealed perfectly, why dig it out?" March 7th looked at Xing in surprise.

"As a pet?" Xing recalled the video of the little crocodile she had seen in Super God Academy; it was quite cute.

"What's sealed here is a demon that has killed countless people and committed all sorts of evil deeds. It's also very ugly, fitting everyone's common stereotype of a demon," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Never mind then." Xing immediately dismissed the idea.

Meng Huaifeng began to explain the origin of this demon, as well as the story of how the angels and ancient humans joined forces to seal it away.

"Why seal it instead of killing the demon directly?" Xing asked.

"Why do you think the Angel Chaser allied with the ancient humans? Because they couldn't defeat him, so they could only trap and seal him away," Meng Huaifeng explained.

"Even if they can trap him, there's no way to kill him?" Xing asked, getting to the bottom of it.

"Don't ask me, I don't know." Meng Huaifeng shrugged. "You can ask Angel Chase about this. She's Sister Yan's subordinate."

There weren't many tourists at the mountain altar, but suddenly the other tourists let out screams of fear.

"Damn, I finally found it. I hope the warriors sealed here won't let me down."

Meng Huaifeng looked towards the entrance and saw Morgana, with smoky makeup and a black leather jacket, standing there casually holding a stone slab.

Behind her were the Crocodile God Thordon and several demon warriors.

"What a coincidence," Meng Huaifeng couldn't help but say.

This place is sparsely populated, which is actually a good spot; maybe it'll be suitable for...

Just as Meng Huaifeng was about to disrupt the space, Morgana also discovered them.

"Damn it, it's you guys again!" Morgana exclaimed as a wormhole appeared behind them, pulling Thorton away and disappearing from sight.

As for those few demon warriors, they're just cannon fodder, conveniently positioned to block the wormhole and prevent a repeat of the last incident.

“Uh (⊙o⊙)…” Meng Huaifeng was stunned. Was it really that decisive?

"Isn't she the Demon Queen?" March 7 couldn't help but complain. Doesn't the Queen care about saving face at all?
Meng Huaifeng glanced at Walter. It must be that Uncle Yang's attack last time left a huge psychological shadow on her, which is why she didn't hesitate at all.

If Uncle Yang hadn't been there, Morgana might not have run away so easily.

Xing rushed over and took down several demon warriors one by one with his staff.

“Morgana seems to have come here for the demon sealed here,” March 7th said.

"Well, let's dig him out and deal with him, otherwise Morgana will definitely come back and release him after we leave," Meng Huaifeng said.

The tourists on the mountain had all fled, and the group, disregarding the need to protect the ruins, dug out the demon.

A tall, ugly demon slumbers within a seal.

"Do I need a password to open the seal? Open Sesame?" March 7th tried.

"Wait, why do we need a password to open the seal? If it's a demon that's sealed, wouldn't it be better to seal it completely?" Xing asked, stroking her chin in confusion.

"Ah Xing, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions? Why do you suddenly have so many questions?" March 7 said speechlessly.

"Could it be that Ah Xing has been using his brain a lot lately while studying the Song of Souls, and he's had an epiphany?" Meng Huaifeng guessed.

"Are you saying I'm smarter?" Xingxi asked.

“No, I mean you’re full of questions.” Meng Huaifeng shook his head.

"???" Xing was full of questions.

"Since we don't know the password, we can only try our best." March 7th took out the Glazed Sword.

"Let me do it." Meng Huaifeng's Phantom Gun pierced directly through the seal.

Edit the god-slaying power, and bring the spear tip to life.

He killed the sealed demon with a single shot.

Continue to unleash the power to kill gods, destroying all the super genes on the demon's corpse.

Erasure of all dark information.

Meng Huaifeng nodded. "Alright, Morgana shouldn't be able to revive him now."

Having dealt with one of Morgana's future generals... no, her leader, the frustration of Morgana running away was somewhat relieved.

……

The training of the Super Soldier Company continues day after day.

Their current strength has definitely surpassed that of the Tianhe Battle in the original work by a large margin.

Even when the Taotie civilization, under the control of Meng Huaifeng, San Yueqi, and Xing, fully utilized its numerical and equipment advantages, it still suffered heavy losses each time in order to defeat the Super Soldier Corps.

It looks like it won't be long before we can clear the first act of Super Soldier.

Under Walter's increasingly terrifying gravity suppression, the Super Soldier Squad once again completed their training, exhausted, and lay sprawled on the training ground awaiting the next exercise.

Meng Huaifeng gave Sun Wukong a wink, and Sun Wukong nodded slightly.

"Dreaming of Divine Machines, a fully immersive mode that blurs the concept of games."

This time, it was a semi-realistic simulation, a test for Meng Huaifeng.

The Super Soldier Company, trapped in the illusionary world, completely forgot that they were training.

All they remembered was that after a few days of training as usual, the Taotie civilization finally truly invaded Earth.

Under Dukao's command, the Super Soldier Corps immediately went to the battlefield.

At this point, everyone's awareness became clear.

The Super Soldier Company did not take helicopters; they landed far away and rushed to the battlefield on their own.

In reality, Meng Huaifeng switched the virtual screen to the perspective of the Super Soldier Company, where they were discussing tactics.

"Does this count as screen spying and cheating?" March 7th was a bit shy.

"The Taotie civilization is more advanced than the Blue Star civilization, so it's reasonable that they would have a way to monitor the movements of the Super Soldier Corps, right?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

“Hmm, that makes sense.” March 7th thought for a moment and nodded.

“Then we won’t be considered cheating,” Meng Huaifeng confirmed.

Because they had never completed Meng Huaifeng's illusion game, the Super Soldier Corps took the 'real' Taotie invaders extremely seriously.

This is not a 'game'; they have no chance to start over. They must give it their all and be absolutely certain of success.

Countless tactics that had been used in the illusion were brought out for discussion, but were repeatedly rejected. It took a long time before a tactic was finally determined.

Meng Huaifeng shook his head slightly. On the 'real' battlefield, the Super Soldier Company was somewhat hesitant and anxious, and did not perform as well as they did in the illusion.

"Did you hear their tactics? Teach them a lesson they won't forget. Leave Lena and Sun Wukong to me." Meng Huaifeng controlled the Taotie warrior Feng Lei to face Lena, holding the God-Slaying Weapon in his hand.

In addition, he controlled a group of Taotie warriors to act out a scene with Sun Wukong.

On March 7th, Xing and others divided the rest of the people.

As the battle began, the Super Soldier Corps gradually dispersed.

Meng Huaifeng used the power of the "authority dog" to cut off the communication of the Super Soldier Squad.

This is the first time I've ever used this trick before.

The scattered soldiers were instantly bewildered, unable to contact their teammates, and unsure of their own or their teammates' whereabouts.

"Is this the real Taotie civilization? It's much more powerful than the one in Big Brother's illusion. What should we do? Should we retreat and try to regroup? If we continue like this, we'll be defeated one by one and slowly worn down. I bet the others think the same thing." Ge Xiaolun thought to himself in the illusion, but in the end, he neither retreated nor advanced, running around like a headless fly.

Having sworn an oath before Monkey King, Liu Chuang continued to charge forward relentlessly. Rose darted around, continuing to carry out the original plan. Zhao Xin transformed into lightning, searching for others to gather their teammates. Cheng Yaowen held his ground, awaiting instructions. Rui Mengmeng protected Qi Lin closely, slowly advancing forward.

"Isn't this cheating?" March 7th asked again.

"The Taotie civilization is more advanced than the Blue Star civilization, so it's reasonable that they would have a way to cut off the Super Soldier Corps' communications, right?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

“It makes sense…” March 7th said hesitantly.

"But isn't the technology of the Super Soldier Corps derived from the Deno Civilization? Can the Taotie Civilization really do that?" Xing keenly noticed the problem.

"Probably not," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Isn't that cheating?" Xing chuckled. "But I like it."

“The first step in modern warfare is often to cut off the enemy’s communications. While the Taotie civilization probably can’t do that, other civilizations, like the demons, can. It’s really unacceptable that they have no defenses or backup plans for this,” Meng Huaifeng said.

However, this was expected. This test was designed to put them under intense pressure and uncover problems, and their performance was at least many times stronger than in the original work.

Under Meng Huaifeng's deliberate targeting, the Super Soldier Company was never able to regroup and could only fight independently.

Even with such targeting, the Taotie forces still managed to wipe out most of their low- and mid-level combat power, demonstrating that their strength has indeed improved considerably.

　Tonight at midnight, a 0+ word monthly pass chapter will be released, featuring a lighthearted slice-of-life episode about Meng Huaifeng leading the train crew back to his own world. I hope everyone will support it. You'll need to find it in the table of contents; it won't be updated in the main text.
