Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Then you must know that envoys can also conceal their identities, and for many people, it's even better to do so."

"Otherwise, it would mean stepping onto the grand stage of galactic warfare, or even... betraying the path one has chosen."

"Hmph, I have had the pleasure of meeting a delightful messenger."

"Judging from his appearance, he's no different from those clowns. If I hadn't been lucky enough to get him drunk, I really wouldn't have known that the other side was so [illustrious].

Bottiola raised his voice:

"Even the purest [hunting] has the Fairy Ship Alliance under the lights and the Sea Patrol Rangers in the shadows."

"Fate is ultimately a concept created by humans, and there must exist an external world beyond our comprehension."

"The idea that [nothingness] doesn't exist...maybe it's just because we're not [nothingness] enough?"

"..."

Dan Heng stopped in his tracks, hesitating for a moment.

Seeing this, Potio quickly continued:

"So, you understand now, right?"

"Your partner is in danger now, I would say extremely dangerous."

"If you still don't believe it, you can send them a message and see."

"But I would advise you to act quickly..."

"After all, neither of us knows what happened in the dream, nor do we know how much of what those memory sufferers said is true."

"And... what exactly does that [Yellow Springs] intend to do?"

……

the other side.

On the desolate ruins.

A woman pushed aside the rubble and crawled out from the dirty ruins.

"[Commander], what do you want to do?"

A Pipixis standing behind Huang Quan immediately asked.

"..."

Huang Quan stood up, dusted himself off, and calmly replied:

"I don't want to do anything."

"That's not up to you," the Pipixi man said coldly.

Soon, more people came from all directions and surrounded Huang Quan.

"..."

The latter frowned slightly.

……

"You...you are from the Oak family!"

A man wearing a Clockwork Boy mask noticed this and quickly ran over, shouting excitedly:

"I knew the destruction of Kroc Studios was related to you guys, you damned bastards!"

"So all you want is the rights to the 'Clockboy' anime, and you're going to resort to violence if you don't get them?"

"Come on, blow me up too!"

The man stood tall and straight outside the encirclement, furious:

"What, you look down on me?"

"Fine, fine... You're ignoring me, huh? Then I'll go live and expose you!"

"..."

These words caused everyone to turn their heads and look at the hooded man.

Strangely, the members of the Oak family spoke at the same time, saying in unison:

"...Where did these flies come from?"

"so troublesome."

The next moment, the hooded man felt a sudden wave of weakness and collapsed in the ruins.

Seeing that the troublesome fellow had finally shut up, the members of the Oak family all looked at Huang Quan and said in unison once again:

"do you know?"

"People who come to this dreamland for the first time will subconsciously stop and make sure they are still standing on solid ground."

Then, they would all look up at the sky without prior arrangement.

More and more people gathered around, chattering incessantly about Huang Quan.

"Whether in reality or in dreams, looking up at the sky is a human instinct."

"Since the day [Golden Hour] was completed, it has been there, watching over every night of revelry and debauchery."

"But now this night sky is shrouded in smoke and stained with the gloom of the long-destroyed [immortal]."

Faced with these people's words, Huang Quan asked in confusion:

"Then you should go find him, not me."

Everyone shook their heads:

"That's not the point."

"This event has gathered far too many guests who should not have been invited."

"Even though [Harmony] encompasses everything, for the sake of Pinocchio's peace, I must issue an order to leave some of them..."

"The Stars of the Grand Gathering cannot contain you, you empty puppet."

"Those who live in the shadows should not step into the light."

Huang Quan glanced at these people and said in a deep voice:

"In terms of living in the shadows, we should be no different."

"At least when you're talking to someone, you should show your true face..."

"The dream master of Pinocchio".

At that moment, the purple bird perched on the telephone pole couldn't help but speak.

"Hahahaha... It seems there's another reason why we can't let you stay."

At the same time, more people came over and, like puppets, spoke in unison again:

"But whether you believe it or not, this is the real [me]."

"Not only that, every single one of them is."

Seeing that he was being surrounded by more and more people, Huang Quan narrowed his eyes:

"Is this what the family meant by...unity of purpose?"

The dreamer lowered their voice:

“My mortal body has long since vanished, and the 107,336 children of the Oak lineage… are now my eyes, ears, and mouth.”

"When needed, it will spread joy in this dream for me, and when necessary... it will banish sin from this paradise for me."

Seeing this display of strength, Huang Quan crossed his arms and calmly said:

"It sounds like you're asking me to leave Pinocchio?"

The dreamer smiled.

"I'm glad you still have self-awareness, but unfortunately, there's no [please]."

Huang Quan's gaze was profound:

Do you think you can do it?

The dreamer showed no fear:

Are you threatening me?

“No, forget I said anything.” Huang Quan took a deep breath and slowly looked at the [Dream Masters] in front of him.

"You're not the first person to show such malice after knowing my identity."

"And it won't be the last one."

“This has happened far too many times. When I ask them questions, most people will retort with, 'Why not?'”

"But the result... has always been no."

The dreamer commented:

"You're confident?"

"But please remember that the family is humble, but never weak."

"The sound of [Harmony] resounds throughout the world. If you do not obey, as long as that long sword is drawn even slightly, you will never be able to escape the wrath of [Infinite Chieftain] for the rest of your life."

The dreamer continued to elaborate:

"And before that... one hundred and thirty-seven people, these were foreigners whom I personally exiled since I became the Lord of Dreams."

"Some of them have broken my wings, some have burned my body..."

"But today, I still stand here, and I don't mind adding another entry to that number."

"..."

Seeing the dreamer's shameless boasting, Huang Quan also spoke without any politeness:

"Then you will die."

“I mean… [you] will all.”
