Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Sand Gold swung his hand down, and a huge golden energy ball rapidly erupted with a terrifying beam of light downwards.

At the same time, the black dragon also spat out a mouthful of dark light.

"Bang—Zzzzzzzzz!!"

The energy beams from the sky and the ground collided, producing a deafening roar.

The entire dream was shaking violently.

The two enormous beams of light, dark and golden, collided with a hissing sound, causing the eardrums of the tiny, ant-like figures below to ache.

"Hehe... I choose to raise!" With a wave of his hand, Sand Gold continued to form stacks of golden chips the size of skyscrapers in the sky, converging into the golden beam of light.

Yan, who was standing on the ground, immediately turned around and shouted to Huang Quan, who was hiding behind him:

"Hurry up and cut his bet! He said he raised the stakes."

“Mr. Yan Huan…you can also add your own bet,” Huang Quan reminded him.

"Are you sure you want me to do this?" Yan Huan narrowed her eyes.

"Yeah." Huang Quan nodded.

"Fine." Yan Huan looked helplessly at the sky, where the dark beam of light from his black dragon was being squeezed downwards.

pat-

After a snap of fingers.

Four black dragons simultaneously rose from the center of the enormous pool, all opening their mouths at the same time...

"...?" Sand Gold's eyes widened.

Chapter 705 The Sole Survivor

"boom--!!"

The terrifying aftershocks swept through the entire Crook Film Park.

That day, everyone in the dream was startled by the loud noise and looked towards the Crook Film Park.

Only sound and light responded to them.

……

Half an hour later.

"Oh my god...!!"

A man wearing a Clockwork Boy mask stands on the desolate ruins, looking around.

The buildings, trees, memes, and even the Dream Theatre Company were all reduced to nothing.

In a physical sense, a person disappears without a trace.

"What's going on here?"

"Call the police! We must call the police!"

……

It was a world of black holes and the sea.

The world is leaden gray.

Sand Gold stood in the center of nothingness, his eyes blank.

"Did I... succeed?"

He received no response, so he could only wander on the black sea.

Gradually, a familiar sound appeared ahead.

[…Welcome to this sorrowful world, Kakawasha.]

As the gold dust moved, the sound became increasingly clear.

[Your good fortune is our, and all Eviekin's, most precious asset...]

It all happened like a revolving lantern.

[Two days to get out alive, and prove your skills are genuine...]

Ahead, I can vaguely see my younger self beckoning to the gold dust.

[Wealth, status, power... the company will give you everything you want and everything you don't want.]

Sand Gold took a deep breath and continued forward.

[And we will meet again under the aurora borealis during the next Kakava.]

But suddenly, the voice of Huang Quan rang in his ears.

"I'm sorry, this isn't the place you were looking for."

Sand Gold turned around, and Huang Quan, whose hair had turned completely white, was standing behind him.

“You don’t look too good,” Sand Gold greeted him.

At this moment, Huang Quan had a bloody mark on his face, and also on his arms, calves, and so on.

"I was just standing a little too close at the time," Huang Quan replied calmly.

Sand Gold looked around and commented with great interest:

"[Nothingness]...is that so?"

Huang Quan slowly spoke:

"Perhaps in your eyes, I am a [commander] hiding my identity, but..."

"The One who sleeps without form never glances at anyone; He is formless, without appearance, and without will... [Nothingness] envelops everyone equally."

“It’s just that some people have gone further in His shadow and become more tainted by [nothingness]...that’s all.”

"That's all..." Sand Gold said with a slight smile.

"Friend, I really don't know how to respond to you."

"So...this is my final destination, the afterlife?"

"No, it was just a fleeting dream," Huang Quan explained.

"One of the many characteristics of IX..."

"We pause here briefly under the witness of [nothingness], and then go our separate ways."

Sand Gold nodded slightly, accepting the offer calmly.

"It seems my death is inevitable."

Huang Quan replied:

Even if you wish it to be so... I cannot make a promise.

"Now that the goal has been achieved, I think you can be more honest."

Gold dust looks towards the underworld:

"What do you mean?"

Huang Quan spoke:

"The [harmony] within you has been completely burned up in the explosion just now."

"You have indeed fallen for the family's tricks."

Sand Jin smiled lightly:

"Yes, it's really embarrassing."

"In the end, I couldn't handle that fly, and... I guess that's a regret of mine."

Huang Quan looked at the gold dust:

"But you still retain consciousness, and you led us to the Crook Film Park, deliberately making things difficult for us."

"why?"

"No reason," Sand Gold said, shrugging.

"Because I can't think of anyone else in this dream besides you and him who could help me."

Huang Quan spoke again:

"You went to such lengths, even risking your life, just to reaffirm a fact that seemed to have been refuted long ago..."

“There is no ‘real death’ in Pinocchio’s dream.”

"You want to touch upon... a secret even more unspeakable than the murder case."

"The watchmaker's legacy... the real [Pinocchoni]."

"..."

Sand Gold sighed:

"[The murder] is a good excuse, but it's far from enough."

"Even if there were one or two murders in Pinocchio, it would only affect a very small number of people and wouldn't cause any significant impact."

"This beautiful dream is not a vast ocean, but an isolated island."

"The family used [harmony] to build dikes and high walls, isolating themselves from the outside world and protecting people from drowning in the sea..."

"At the same time, this barrier [isolating death] allows us to bury unknown secrets in the deep sea."

"In a beautiful dream devoid of pain and injury, those secrets will forever remain hidden from the light of day. Unless..."

Huang Quan looked towards the black hole at the end of the Dark Sea:

"Unless someone goes to the other side of the barrier..."

"And they will be able to come back alive."
