The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 19 Meng Huaifeng's Fourth Soul Skill
"Is it related to your past?" Himeko's gentle smile soothed Dan Heng's unease.

"Well, here's what happened." Dan Heng took a deep breath and began to recount his experience.

From the Five Heroes of the Clouds to the sudden attack by the Envoy of Abundance, Bai Heng died in battle. Lord Yin Yue used the Dragon Transformation Technique in an attempt to revive Bai Heng, ultimately creating a mindless and evil dragon that caused heavy losses to the Luofu Immortal Ship.

Afterwards, Lord Yinyue was forced to shed his scales, and he, Danheng, is Lord Yinyue after he shed his scales and was reborn.

The newly reborn Danheng continued to take the punishment in place of Yinyuejun, imprisoned in the Youju Prison for over a hundred years before finally being exiled by Jingyuan, never to set foot in Luofu again.

However, this was not the end. Dan Heng, who had been exiled, was hunted by Ren for several years before finally getting rid of him. He then went into hiding and worked as a low-level employee in a company until he boarded the train.

His memories of his past life were incomplete, and he didn't know many details. However, people kept coming to see him in prison, recounting his crimes over and over again. So he knew exactly what sins he had committed in his past life.

"That's outrageous! Why should you pay for the mistakes you made in your past life? Who can decide whether they were a good person or a bad person in their past life?" March 7th said indignantly.

"Is this your past? I agree with March's view: the sins of your past life have nothing to do with you," Walter affirmed.

“However, the Dragon Master manipulated the process of shedding the scales, and I do retain some of my past life’s memories and power.” Dan Heng summoned his martial spirit and said painfully, “This is the power of Lord Yin Yue. I can use it, and the blade… therefore, they also believe that I am still Lord Yin Yue.”

"The inheritance of memories and power doesn't prove anything. There are many examples in the universe of predecessors passing on their memories and power to their successors before they die. Does that mean the successor and the predecessor are the same person? You are Danheng, a guard of the train crew." Himeko grasped Danheng's hand, giving him affirmation.

"If that Blade dares to come, I'll knock him away with a baseball bat," Hoshino comforted him.

"Thank you everyone." Danheng felt much better after seeing everyone's support.

However, a knot in one's heart cannot be untied by a few simple words from others.

“I have a way that might help you resolve your inner conflict. Would you like to give it a try?” Meng Huaifeng said.

"What method?" Danheng asked.

“My mobile phone martial soul has a soul skill that can transform any video or novel into an illusionary world and trap people within it. Besides trapping enemies, illusions can also help people hone their spirit and improve their state of mind. If I create a video tailored to you and then use this soul skill on you, it might allow you to understand yourself in the illusionary world, resolve your inner conflicts, and reconcile with yourself,” Meng Huaifeng said uncertainly.

Xing looked at Meng Huaifeng with shining eyes after hearing his words, as if she had thought of a great idea.

However, the Star Core Spirit had begun to understand human nature and knew that the conversation was about Dan Heng, so it did not interrupt.

“I think it’s feasible,” Walter said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

“I’m willing to try. How long will it take to make the video?” Dan Heng nodded in agreement. He didn’t want to spend every day in nightmares anymore. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of overcoming his inner demons, he was willing to try.

Anyway, there's no cost involved, right?
"Immediately. Don't use imaginary energy to resist, otherwise it might directly break the illusion world, which would be ineffective." Meng Huaifeng smiled lightly.

As soon as Meng Huaifeng had a thought, the plot of the mission to accompany Dan Heng in his mind turned into a video and appeared on his phone.

This is the extraordinary aspect of turning a mobile phone into a martial spirit!
"Huh? So fast?" Dan Heng asked in surprise.

"Of course, are you ready?" Meng Huaifeng recovered all the energy from the last four spirit rings and poured it all into the fourth spirit ring, which eventually turned blood red.

A hundred thousand year soul ring!
"Come on, there's nothing to prepare." Dan Heng took a deep breath and sat up straight. "Then, the fourth soul skill, Dream Enters the Divine Machine!"

As the 100,000-year soul ring lit up, an invisible light shot from Meng Huaifeng's phone into Dan Heng's eyes.

Dan Heng froze instantly, his eyes vacant, his consciousness sinking into the world of the video.

Once inside the illusionary world, Dan Heng felt that time flew by. He couldn't remember exactly what happened. It took two whole years for this long pioneering journey to come to an end.

Meng Huaifeng sent them back to his own universe, and then he also took his leave and returned to his own universe.

The train departed again, and after another period of exploration, they were invited to Luofu. At this point, the blurred flow of time returned to normal, and the illusion's hints made Dan Heng overlook the anomalies.

Danheng is experiencing the future he should have experienced without Meng Huaifeng in the illusionary world, which should hopefully help Danheng resolve his inner conflicts.

"How long will he stay like this?" March 7th poked Danheng's stunned face.

"About an hour and a half. Of course, that's assuming he doesn't actively try to break free." Meng Huaifeng glanced at the video's length, which was over an hour.

"Hey, Huaifeng, could you turn a light novel into a fantasy world and replace me with the protagonist?" Xing looked at Meng Huaifeng expectantly.

“Okay, you want to…” Meng Huaifeng looked at Xing with a strange expression. You’re going to use my soul skills as a virtual game?

"Yes, that's right. I'll help you test out your soul skill. You're welcome. Remember to use a wish-fulfillment novel as a template; I want to be the protagonist," Stardust said slyly.

"Alright, I'll grant your request." Meng Huaifeng certainly wouldn't refuse his partner's small request. He extracted a novel called "Breaking Through the Sky" from his mind and used a soul skill to throw it at Xing's face, making her replace the protagonist Xiao Huohuo.

Since Xing was just playing around, Meng Huaifeng didn't use illusion magic to blur her memories of reality.

In the illusionary world, Xing wreaks havoc with a baseball bat, but in reality, he becomes a dull, vegetative person like Dan Heng, sitting obediently on the sofa without moving.

"I want to play too! This is my favorite novel. If I were the princess in it, I wouldn't be so pitiful." March 7th was also inspired by Xing's playfulness and opened a novel on her phone, handing it to Meng Huaifeng.

Meng Huaifeng glanced at the book title, "The Ice and Snow Legend of the Fallen Princess." Could this be one of the dozens of backstories that March 7 fabricated for himself?

"Alright, alright, send me the novel." Meng Huaifeng naturally couldn't show favoritism.

After receiving this novel, everyone sat on the sofa in a vegetative state, plus one more person in a vegetative state.

"Ahem." Walter coughed twice, his eyes darting around.

Looking at Walter's somewhat hesitant demeanor, Meng Huaifeng understood that Uncle Yang also wanted to join in, but he couldn't bring himself to admit his pride as a mature and reliable adult.

"Uncle Yang, why don't you help me try out my soul skill?" Meng Huaifeng said, giving him face.
