Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Um... are you a judge for this round?"

"If we don't talk about the rules, we can just start now."

Upon hearing this, the enormous enigmatic clock statue sighed:

"Oh? Another group of opportunistic challengers."

"I'm sorry, although I'm a failed clock, I still have my bottom line."

"Do you, like the other challengers, want to get to know me?"

"Then please come in."

"But you will gain nothing... because I am just a failure."

Yan Huan immediately understood how to pass the level.

"You're here to fix the mystery clock, right? No need for further explanation."

He placed his hand on the enigmatic clock statue and instantly entered its heart.

This is a world filled with purple mist, and there is nothing inside.

Yan Huan stood still, and the sound of the riddle bell echoed from the sky again:

"Look, my heart is already completely empty."

Liu Ying stood beside him, also looking around at the surroundings.

The two were on a floating platform with no way to pass through.

Just as they were pondering how to break the deadlock, a call caught their attention.

"Tick-tock, now it's my turn to shine!"

The clock boy suddenly appeared in front of the two.

Yan Huan narrowed his eyes:

"Why are you here?"

Liu Ying was also very surprised:

"Clock Kid? I can see that too... Is that part of the stage props?"

The clock boy spread his arms wide and said smugly:

"In Dream Town, Clockwork Boy is everywhere and can do anything!"

"For example... I can help you solve this mystery clock friend's problem right now, tick-tock!"

The sound of the riddle bell rang out again from the sky:

"It's actually the Clockwork Boy himself! Why would you come to visit a failed clock like me for no reason?"

The clock boy comforted him:

"Hey, you big guy."

"Look, we are all clocks, we are all one family!"

I want to help you, to make you happy!

"Can you tell me what's bothering you?"

The giant mystery clock is very sad.

After much hesitation, he finally told the truth.

Yan Huan and Liu Ying also pricked up their ears, ready to listen to the gossip.

"I...I only learned a shocking fact yesterday."

"They say that the Dream Clock is not Clockwork Boy at all, but just a discarded design for Clockwork Boy from back then."

"Leave me alone, Clock Boy."

"I really don't know how to face you... because I'm just a failure."

After hearing the reason, the watch boy asked the two for help:

"Oh my god, it looks so sad."

"But that's okay, we can help it find the missing part of itself and help it get out of its disappointment!"

Immediately, the two withdrew from the inner world of the mystery clock and returned to the arena.

Liu Ying sighed:

"So even theater troupe members can experience existential crises..."

The clock-watch boy, who hadn't disappeared either, offered a suggestion:

"Don't worry, young lady, I've pinpointed the missing part!"

"Follow me closely, friends, and unleash the speed of the Hamster Ball Knight!"

Seeing the clock boy start running, Yan Huan and Liu Ying had no choice but to follow.

"This process is getting more and more complicated."

Sure enough, finding the parts was not easy.

The path led by the Clockwork Boy has many sections that cannot be reached directly; specific puzzles must be solved to create a passage.

But this is no problem at all for the Nameless Guest and the Star Core Hunter.

The two moved with ease, quickly obtaining all the missing parts of the mystery clock, and even had time to rescue a few origami birds along the way.

Back on the original playing field, Clock Boy spoke to Riddle Clock:

"We're back!"

"With these, you'll definitely be able to untangle your knots, tick-tock!"

Yan Huan impatiently stuffed all the parts into the Mystery Bell's body, which then emitted a strange groan.

"Oh~~ Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"

"This sudden feeling of exhilaration is so...so great!!"

The clock boy was also very happy:

"It's working, tick-tock!"

"Next, all we need to do is enter its mental space and help it connect the pathways, and we'll be all done!"

"No need for further words!" Yan Huan placed her hand on the Mystery Bell statue and instantly entered her mental space.

With their combined efforts, the mental space is about to be connected.

But suddenly, the entire space began to spin.

The newly assembled parts became chaotic again, and some parts were even flying around everywhere.

"...???" Liu Ying and Yan Huan were both dumbfounded.

The clock boy standing nearby immediately asked the sky:

"Oh my god... what's going on?"

"Your mind is in complete turmoil!"

The giant enigmatic clock is very sad:

"I... am not qualified to be the real you."

"Just give up... Clock Kid."

The clock boy quickly shook his head:

"Oh no! That won't do. You have to confront your inner fears!"

Seeing this, Liu Ying couldn't help but ask:

"Is...this also part of the plot?"

Yan Huan, however, had a keen eye and immediately noticed that the clock boy was holding a certain device.

"...?"

"Hey kid, what the hell are you doing?"

With lightning speed, Yan Huan snatched the device from the clock boy's arms and pressed it down.

In an instant, the entire mental space returned to calm.

"..."

The clockwork boy and Yan Huan locked eyes, and the scene became quite awkward.

"Well," the watch boy said awkwardly.

"According to the procedure, you should shout here, 'Use the clock trick!' to restore the mental space of the mystery clock to its original state."

"Call me grandpa! You just watch, kid, if you touch me again I'll beat you up."

Clockwork Boy: "..."

Ignoring the clock boy, Yan Huan and Liu Ying busied themselves and finally completed the connection of the mental space.

Back on the field.

The giant clock sculpture waves its hands and smiles:

"Thank you, cousin... oh no, clock kid."

"..." The clock boy felt a little thirsty.

Chapter 738 Let's have a real battle!

The clock then expresses its gratitude:

"Clock Kid, if it weren't for you, I would never have been able to communicate with people so well—you helped me rediscover myself!"
