Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"There are countless worlds in the universe that are similar yet different."

"In these worlds, there are countless people who are similar yet different."

Huang Quan closed his eyes and recalled:

"I have also embarked on journeys, encountering [old friends] who look similar in different worlds, and witnessing their destinies follow a familiar trajectory."

"So, I will tell you..."

“Although not exactly the same, the story you’ve described… overlaps with my past.”

"And in that bottomless dream..."

"I ended that man's life, all alone."

Walter narrowed his eyes slightly, and Huang Quan continued:

“I am not the person you know, and my hometown has not been as fortunate as your world.”

Walter said with shame:

"…I regret."

"It's alright." Huang Quan looked at Walter:

"If this can dispel your doubts, I don't mind."

Walter spoke again:

"But I still want to know, beneath that [hunting] facade, Miss Huangquan, what exactly is the 'force' that has driven you to walk alone until now?"

Huang Quan thought for a moment and gave this reply:

“Mr. Walter, before answering that question, I would like to continue our previous topic.”

Walter nodded.

Huang Quan continued:

I really like your analogy.

She looked up at the deep, dark night sky:

"Indeed, birds are born to fly, but in the distant past, their ancestors could only look up at the sky from the ground."

"They saw the distant, heavenly light pierce through the clouds and illuminate the earth."

"So time and time again, generation after generation, the birds spread their wings and flew high, trying to touch the sky, because the sun was there."

Walter said in a deep voice:

“…Little Blackie.”

Huang Quan said lightly:

Please do not interrupt me.

"..."

"Then, what if when the last bird finally takes flight, it sees not the sun at the end of the light, but a pitch-black blaze..."

"Then what is it that we... must walk toward the light?"

……

the other side.

In reality, inside a hotel room.

"Did you have fun in Pinocchio—[Yellow Springs]?"

"Although I don't know what you are or what you're up to..."

“But my bullets will find you soon—until then, you’d better hurry up and find a coffin shop in Pinocchio and ask the owner to reserve the best coffin for you, you imposter!”

The black swan who answered the phone couldn't help but ask:

"who are you?"

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately became suspicious:

"Huh? Did I dial the wrong number? Good heavens, who are you?"

"What the hell?" the Black Swan asked in confusion.

"Why are you talking like that? You actually... wanted to swear, didn't you?"

"Nonsense! This is a 16+ game, what would happen if we actually used profanity?" the other side replied.

"To maintain the wild persona and convey that meaning, this is the only way to talk, you bastard!"

Black Swan: “…”

"Here are tomatoes."

Chapter 682 Write Me a Will

“I don’t know what you’re talking about—but you know Huang Quan, the sea patrol knight, right? I have something to ask you,” Black Swan said with a faint smile.

"Haha, you want me to help you write your will? Sure, go ahead!" came the reply from the other end of the phone.

The black swan smiled faintly:

"It's not a will. I just want to ask you, how exactly did she 'become' the Sea Patrol Ranger?"

"...Huh?" The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised.

Black Swan continued:

"She's not the one destined to be a [hunter], you are, aren't you?"

"Tell me, what exactly is Huang Quan?"

Upon hearing these words, a rude laugh came from the other end of the phone:

“…Hahahahaha!”

"Not bad, I didn't expect them to be friendly forces?"

"He's got a real leg to fall for! Looks like I've hit the jackpot!"

"I'll be at Pinocchio soon. Yizhe, go buy a bottle of [Asdna White Oak], warm it up, and I'll toast you!"

"That woman's past? Nobody knows. But if all you want is a simple answer, then yes!"

"You'd better find a chair to sit on, that woman named Huang Quan—"

“It is a messenger that ‘should not exist’.”

……

the other side.

It was a desolate world.

The girl was both worried and scared when she saw the little boy running back.

"Kakawasha, where have you been...you're injured?!"

"I got it back, sister." The boy was covered in dirt, but his face was beaming with undisguised joy.

"What? You went to see them?!"

The girl was even more upset:

"Too dangerous...!"

"It's just a necklace. It's not edible or water. We can survive without it."

"But I can't live without you, little brother... Please don't go near those Katika people anymore, okay?"

The boy was very tired, but he still laughed heartily:

"Sister, you mustn't be afraid."

"The Katikas are stupid, but I'm smart. When I play games with them, I always win."

"Win...?" The girl's expression grew increasingly uneasy.

"What exactly happened? Tell me."

The boy's nonchalant reply:

"I made a bet with them, a bet on which of the two little birds in the desert, or me, would die first."

"I won."

“They suspected me of cheating, but I didn’t… I won fair and square.”

The girl patted the little boy on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"I know you can win..."

"You've always been a very lucky child; your good fortune is a gift from Mother Goddess..."

“But that’s no reason for you to confront the Katikas head-on. They’re bloodthirsty, cruel, and insatiable—don’t forget your parents…”

“It’s just a necklace… but Kakavasya, you are my last family.”

“…Ah.” The boy was stunned when he saw tears streaming down his sister’s face.

"Sister, I'm sorry..."

“I thought you would be happy... because this is the necklace your mother left you, and you won’t have another one like it.”

The girl shook her head and looked at the thin boy in front of her:

"It is important, but you are more important than that, my dearest brother..."

"I won't blame you, but you must remember what your mother said in the past..."

“Pain and poverty are tests from the Mother Goddess, and she also gives us opportunities, which is your good fortune, Kakavasya.”

“Your good fortune is our…and the most precious treasure of all Evgens.”
