Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"...Then I will grant your wish."

He reached into his handbag and felt around:

“They have always stayed in the most suitable place, and have never left…”

"It's right here in this pile of cheap jewelry."

The virtual entity nodded:

"You smashed the [aventurine] before you even set off..."

"Look at its appearance, tsk tsk, it's just like your fragmented life."

"No matter how glamorous the exterior may be, inside there is still a humble little pebble, and this thing is much more important than your life."

"You know all too well the consequences of doing this. Do you think the company will let you off the hook for blaspheming the Holy Body of Krippar?"

Sand Gold smiled calmly:

"They always value results over there."

"As long as the value I can create far exceeds the cost... the process and methods are not a problem."

He sighed:

"How can we deceive the family without paying a price?"

"It's alright, the foundation of [Preservation] can still function even if it's shattered into pieces."

"Although the utility will be greatly reduced, it's enough for me."

The virtual entity sighed again:

"I'm actually a little curious."

Why do you take every step that involves risk, and why are the options you prepare for yourself always accompanied by a strong urge to self-destruct?

Do you really believe that [the greater the risk, the greater the reward]?

"I didn't realize you were so loyal to the company."

Sha Jin sneered:

"There are many things you can't see, so you can't see how I'm going to win everything."

The virtual entity immediately poured cold water on the idea:

"On the premise that you can actually do it."

"Honestly, how were you so sure that the nameless guest would give you two useful items?"

"Didn't you ever think you'd die here?"

"I've thought about it before, but not anymore."

Gold dust shrugged and said:

"Now I have unparalleled confidence."

"...Let's wait and see."

"For me, no matter which path I take now, or how I take it... I have already won."

Gradually, the surrounding noise subsided again.

The virtual self and the foundation stone on the newly formed flower bud also disappeared.

"Is that all? It's just another illusion created by [Tongxie]."

"what?"

Suddenly, Sand Gold seemed to sense something and turned around sharply.

That was the child from before, standing smiling in front of the gold dust.

"Hello, we meet again, sir with the beautiful eyes."

He looked so pure, innocent, and naive.

Even Sand Gold's tone became much gentler.

"..."

"Yes."

Sha Jin smiled slightly and said:

"We meet again. Have you found your parents?"

"Of course," the child replied.

"My sister was there too; the four of us just played hide-and-seek."

"I'm so happy! On the way here, my dad even showed me... uh, 'banana peel movie'."

Sand Gold added:

You mean... [film], right?

The boy nodded quickly:

"Yes, that's it."

"Put many cardboard pictures together and you get a moving mural."

"Putting me, my dad, my mom, and my sister together makes us a family."

"Why don't you give it a try, sir!"

"You look so gloomy. Try to cheer up here."

"..."

"Okay," Sand Gold replied perfunctorily.

There are flowers everywhere here, so why would there be a movie?

"Heh... the illusion of [homophonic] is nothing more than this."

But just as Sand Gold was thinking this, he found that the scene in front of him had changed.

I was in a small room, and a so-called [film] was playing in front of me.

The staff members had no skin, no flesh and blood; they were more like puppets made of white oak.

"..."

For some reason, seeing these puppets made Sand Gold feel a little uneasy.

"Why would something like this appear inside a grand theater?"

"Big brother, why don't you give it a try?" the little boy beside him urged.

"..."

After glancing at the young child, Sand Gold looked around and, seeing no other way, had no choice but to slowly move forward.

"Hehe, excellent."

"Then let me give it a try."

Sand Gold walked over, and the puppet there, just like a real staff member, warmly took his hand.

The cold touch made Sand Gold frown.

"Sir, please stand here to admire it," the puppet said in a human voice.

"it is good."

Sand Gold silently observed the puppets in front of him, which were bustling about like real people.

The movie they were showing seemed to be a fable.

It tells the story of a child who ran away from home, went through many hardships, and finally returned to his family.

"Not bad, hehe."

As the movie ended, Sand Gold glanced at the person beside him.

The little boy was no longer there; the virtual Sand Gold was sitting on a small stool eating watermelon.

Noticing the gaze of the real Sand Gold, the virtual entity wiped its mouth and smiled faintly:

"Isn't it a touching story?"

"A child without a mother is like a blade of grass; this is a truth we heard when we were young."

What is the purpose of life?

"Having amassed so much wealth and gathered so much power, isn't it all for... happiness and joy?"

The virtual entity casually tossed the watermelon rind aside and naturally rubbed its watermelon juice-covered hands onto the gold-plated cuffs of its trousers.

"Now there's an opportunity that can take you straight to the finish line, why not just accept it?"

"Do you have masochistic tendencies?"

Chapter 700 What else do you have?

Ignoring the gold dust, they continued on their way.

The scenery ahead changed again, turning into a desolate town.

"..."

The virtual entity watched silently as the gold dust advanced.

Gold dust also looked back:

"Why don't you speak?"

"Maybe if you try a little harder, I'll break down."

The virtual entity crossed its arms and said in a deep voice:
