Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

“I just detected a very strong energy reaction from the direction of Luofu. Although it has subsided now, I still can’t contact the passengers Walter and Xing and the others… I hope they’re alright?”

Himeko put down the porcelain cup in her hand, making a crisp, light sound.

She turned to look at Pam, a reassuring smile playing on her lips: "Don't worry too much, Pam. Trust them. Remember how we got through the crisis in Yalilo-VI? This time, with Walter leading the way, he'll definitely protect those children."

“But Pam…” Pam was about to say something, but was interrupted by a crisp notification sound.

"Ding--"

Himeko's phone, which she had placed aside, rang.

She reached out and picked it up; the screen lit up, showing that the sender was Walter Yang.

Himeko's eyes flickered slightly, and she lightly touched the screen with her fingertips to open the message that had just arrived.

Chapter 104 Pam: As long as it doesn't mess up like that worst nameless guy.

After reading the message on her phone, Himeko remained silent for a moment.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples, a rare hint of unease flashing across her usually calm and elegant eyes.

Simply put, the CPU is a bit overloaded.

"Himeko, what's wrong?"

Pam, who had been watching her intently, immediately sensed something was amiss. Her long ears perked up, and her voice was filled with urgency:

"Did the passengers from Walter send a message? Could something have happened?!"

Could it be that Chen Bai and Xing have really encountered an insurmountable danger? Pam's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't be nervous, Pam." Himeko took a deep breath, her tone regaining its usual gentleness and composure:

"Everyone is fine. The message came from Walter. They just... faced off against the Annihilation Lord Huanlong together with General Jingyuan of Luofu."

"What?! The Great Lord of Annihilation, Pam—!" Pam was so shocked he almost jumped up, his round eyes wide open.

The Extinction Lord is a calamity for any power in the world.

"Pam, let me finish." Himeko raised her voice slightly, using a clear and steady tone to calm the train conductor.

"The illusion has been successfully repelled by Walter and his team. And—"

She paused for a moment, then continued:

"That Great Lord of Annihilation has been temporarily imprisoned in the strange creature Y that Chen Bai possesses. Therefore, the crisis has been averted."

"Oh...so that's how it is..."

Pam finally let out a long, thorough sigh of relief, patted her chest with her little paws, and her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled back into place. "Thank goodness everyone is safe and sound, Pam!"

Himeko watched Pam's relieved expression, then lightly tapped her finger on her phone screen, seemingly considering what to say next.

She raised her eyes, her voice hesitant as she continued:

“However, Pam, there’s one more thing I need to tell you in advance. We might be getting a very special passenger next.”

"The train conductor thought it was something serious!"

Upon hearing this, Pam regained its composure and became as imposing as a train conductor, puffing out its little chest and perking up its two ears.

"It's just a new passenger! As long as he's not a troublemaker, [Kaituo] always welcomes fellow passengers! Just follow the procedure and report to the train conductor!"

“Pam, are you... sure?” Himeko slowed her speech, emphasizing the last few words. “This passenger is truly very special.”

"How special could it be, Pam?" Pam scoffed, even picking up his short forelegs and striking a pose as if he'd seen it all before.

"This train conductor has been welcoming and seeing off passengers on this train for many years. No matter how strange the passenger is, they must abide by our rules when they get on the Starry Sky Train!"

Seeing Pam's confident expression, Himeko sighed softly.

She knew she couldn't avoid the issue, and finally said the name:

"That special passenger... is the Star God of Fengrao, the Pharmacist."

Pam: "...Pam?"

It seemed not to have heard clearly; the whole Pam stood frozen in place, its ears slowly drooping down, its round eyes unblinking.

“Say it again…who is it, Pam?” Pam asked.

"【Fengrao】Star God, Pharmacist".

Himeko repeated clearly, then added, "Simply put, it was that child Chen Bai... who accidentally created a clone shell that could contain His consciousness. Now, His Majesty has expressed his willingness to travel with us."

Pam: "…………"

After a moment of silence, Pam also felt a bit of a headache.

I didn't expect this year's anonymous guests to be so good at causing trouble.

Moreover, it was not unaware of the pharmacist's "value"—he was a star god who was an enemy of the [Hunter].

Although we don't have to worry about Lan sending rockets directly at their Star Train, it still feels a bit unsettling.

“Oh well, whatever—” Pam finally waved her paw, as if convincing herself, “As long as this pharmacist passenger doesn’t cause trouble or break the train rules, we…we’ll treat him like a normal passenger.”

As it spoke, it suddenly seemed to recall some unpleasant memory, and its tone became agitated:

"Anyway, as long as he doesn't cause trouble on the train like that 'worst anonymous passenger' before! I get angry just thinking about him! If he hadn't caused all that trouble, the train wouldn't have been suspended for so long, only resuming service after you, Himeko, arrived..."

It muttered angrily, as if old and new grievances were surging into its mind.

However, complaints aside.

Pam herself was well aware that the Star Train had a glorious history of traveling with the Star Gods.

Besides the original pioneering star Akivili, there is also the "worst nameless guest" that it just mentioned.

Although that memory wasn't pleasant.

“Okay, I understand.” Himeko’s lips curled into a gentle smile again when she saw Pam agree. “Then I’ll get back to Walter and put their minds at ease.”

She lowered her head, her fingers tapping lightly on her phone screen, replying to a message from Walter Yang, who was far away in Luofu Shence Mansion.

After replying to the message, Himeko couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Unexpectedly, during her years as a navigator, she was able to witness firsthand the chapter of traveling with the Star God.

Even though it wasn't the actual Fengrao Star God that arrived, this journey was enough to be recorded in the train's aviation history.

Himeko gently placed her phone on the coffee table, picked up her gradually cooling cup of coffee again, and turned to look at the view of the fairy boat outside the window.

Alright, so now... how should we welcome this special passenger?

She took a thoughtful sip of her coffee.

Perhaps... we could brew Him a special cup of coffee?

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

It seems that not many people on this train can accept her special coffee.

Perhaps this special passenger has similar tastes to myself.

That's settled then.

"Himeko, Pam is going to clean the carriages and check the equipment... Oh, and remember to remind Walter and the others that they need to purchase a batch of supplies in Rhodes before returning!"

At this moment, Pam's voice pulled Himeko back to reality.

Upon hearing this, Himeko nodded slightly and replied:

"Don't worry, Pam. I'll personally get off the train and go to Rover this time. If there's anything you particularly need or want to buy, make a list for me now, and I'll bring it back with you."

"Got it, Pam!" Pam immediately perked up upon hearing this. "I'll go prepare the list right away!"

Papa responded and then took small steps, leaving the observation car in a hurry. Soon, its light and busy footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

Chapter 105 You think a simple apology will suffice...

Immortal Boat Luofu, Divine Strategy Mansion

Walter Yang pushed up his glasses; he had just finished a call with the train crew.

He turned to Pharmacist Meow and calmly relayed Pam's words: "The conductor said the train is always ready to welcome you."

"Thanks a lot, meow~"

The pharmacist nodded, her voice gentle, with a light, soothing tone at the end.

"Wow! Uncle Yang, doesn't that mean we'll be another Star God passenger from now on!"

"That's so cool!"

The two little gray kittens were very excited.

"Master Pharmacist, do you want to say something to them, like about the Jianmu tree...?"

At this moment, Chen Bai pointed to Jing Yuan and the other members of the Immortal Ship official team.

"Jianmu... I understand, meow." The Pharmacist Meow's voice remained gentle. "Back then, I responded to the prayers of the Immortal Ship's ancestors and bestowed upon them the Seed of Immortality, intending to eliminate the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death, so that civilization could continue forever. I never imagined that immortality would attract greed, and greed would breed demonic forces, thus giving rise to chaos... This was not my wish, nor was it something I could fully control. Fate has decreed that even a gift can become a shackle. I am truly sorry, meow~"

The sigh-like "I'm sorry" fell into the silent hall.

Jing Yuan lowered his eyes. As a general of the Immortal Boat Alliance and the helmsman of Luofu, he was well aware of the thousand-year blood debt and endless entanglements that this "gift" would bring.

He represents the [Hunter] camp, with the Emperor Bow Master's bow gazing at the starry sea behind him. At this moment, any words of leniency towards Feng Rao could be seen as a betrayal of the beliefs of an ally.

He could only remain silent, suppressing these complex causes and emotions beneath a calm and composed expression.

However, not everyone can maintain such restraint.

"Humph!"

A cold, mocking laugh broke the silence.

Jingliu stepped forward from the shadows, his moon-like silver hair moving without wind, his eyes fixed on Yaoshimiao, the burning hatred within them almost tangible.

"Do you think a simple apology can erase the monstrous bloodshed that has raged for centuries because of Fengrao? My homeland, my loved ones, my comrades... countless lives have turned to dust in the hands of your so-called blessed creators and messengers! Can you bear this sin?"

Now that the God of Abundance was right before her, whether or not he was a star god, her hatred for Abundance had long surpassed her fear. What did she have to fear losing anything more?

After all, she had already died once...

"Master!" Jing Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he called out in a low voice.

To confront a star god, even if it is merely an embodiment of his consciousness, such a sharp question carries unpredictable risks.

The pharmacist cat was not angry. It simply looked at the mirror flow quietly, its gaze reflecting the raging anger and deep sorrow in the other's eyes.

“Child—” The Pharmacist Meow’s voice grew softer, even tinged with a hint of pity. “I can see that your soul is being burned by the flames of hatred, your loathing for me and my [Function]… My original intention was indeed to see no more sickness and death in the world… However, I underestimated the human heart’s greed for longevity and its obsession with eternity.”

I was granted longevity, but not the wisdom and mindset to bear it. This was my oversight, and also a limitation of fate itself—I can only walk along the path of abundance, but I cannot decide the direction of life's growth, nor can I take back the gifts that have already spiraled out of control.

It paused, its tail swaying slightly, and uttered a sentence that shook everyone present to their core:

"If hatred can sharpen your sword, if faith can solidify your path, then carry it forward. If one day your sword touches the stars, and your path pierces through destiny... then come and sever my very essence, meow~"

Slaying the Star God?!

Walter's pupils contracted sharply, and even Chen Bai showed a surprised expression.

Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan exchanged an incredulous look.

The Star Gods are the embodiment of the laws of the universe, the very path of destiny. How could mortal beings possibly reach them or even dream of severing them?

But these words came directly from the mouth of the Star God [Fengrao], and even carried a kind of encouraging expectation.

The surging hatred in Jingliu's eyes froze for a moment, then transformed into an unbreakable resolve, and he declared firmly, "I will."

Then she stopped talking.

"Cough cough."

Chen Bai's soft cough broke the almost frozen atmosphere.

He touched his nose, looked at the pharmacist cat, and said in an embarrassed tone:

"Um, Master Pharmacist, there's something else... The Jianmu tree you left in Luofu had a rather complicated situation before, and I accidentally... damaged it. You won't blame me for that, will you?"
