Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[March 7th: Could it be that we will go to Onphalus and fight alongside them in the future?]

[Star: Great! I've been holding my breath for so long, I was just about to give Nanook a real punch!]

[Potio: Count me in!]

[Danheng: Um... Is it possible that you can't beat Nanuk?]

The only one among the three who can maintain a normal mental state most of the time sent a friendly reminder.

[Star: Wow, why didn't you say so earlier? Hehe, don't worry, since we can reincarnate anyway, might as well give him a good punch!]

[Potio: Exactly! We'll go through thick and thin together, shoulder to shoulder; we'll face bullets side by side!]

[Dan Heng: ...When you cry out in pain, remember to keep it down.]

Dan Heng's eyes were filled with speechlessness, and his mind was filled with exhaustion.

This group of people all have some serious illnesses. They're treating Nanook like a punching bag test machine at an amusement park, thinking anyone can take a hit, right?

……

The white calamity rose like the sun and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

Everyone understood that this was not the final act of an unsung hero retiring, but rather a rallying cry for those who would step into the pinnacle of cosmic power.

Bai E will step into the battlefield they witnessed together, a battlefield with absolutely no chance of victory, to showcase the pinnacle of human courage and unleash his full spirit!

"Farewell, Trail Blazers. Now, I will fulfill my final destiny."

"The oracle of the 'Savior' is meaningless to me. It should be given to a more suitable person, namely you."

[Star: Who? Me? You have good taste!]

[March 7th: Be serious in this kind of situation!]

"Kauslana, the one who bears chaos, is a name not belonging to one person. It is the embodiment of Kephale in mythology and is also a synonym for 'hero'."

"As the oracle foretold: [You (White Calamity) will bear the sun until the pale dawn (star) appears]—may this name accompany me in the epic you yourself have written."

[Aglaia: Will she allow an extraterrestrial to take up the torch of Cephalus and lead the journey of fire in a new cycle of reincarnation?]

[Saifei: Is this appropriate? Although this guy's way of talking is quite to my liking.]

[Crydella: Suitable. Having lived for thirty million lifetimes, Caislana naturally understands priorities and would never entrust the task to the wrong person. Besides, wasn't her name already engraved in the prophecy? Of course, from another perspective, Onpharos is clearly not a pleasant place for leisure, as evidenced by the thirty million cycles of reincarnation. Pioneer from beyond the heavens, we expect you to bring about a different change to Onpharos, trapped in a cycle of failure, but we cannot force you to shoulder this heavy burden. Are you ready?]

"Hiss..." March 7th read Crydella's warning and suddenly realized its validity. She hesitated slightly before saying, "Now that you mention it, it's true. Onpharos is clearly setting up a trap for destruction, and Nanuk even personally inspects it occasionally. Isn't that a bit too dangerous? Star... Star?"

Turning my head, I was surprised to see Xing deep in thought with a serious expression.

March 7th was a shock.

Xing is deep in thought?!

The thought of those two words together made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But Xing was really considering things carefully at this moment, not even glancing at Bai Sanyueqi, which shows how serious she was.

"Himeko, Mr. Walter, shouldn't we reconsider this matter?" Dan Heng asked with considerable doubt.

He also greatly admired Baie and felt sorry and sympathetic for Onphalus's predicament. However, he cherished his fellow passengers on the train even more.

Even though Kauslana is so strong and can contend with the Burning Wind for a short time, he can't even make a ripple. With the Train's current strength, the chances are slim, and it's not much different from being sent to its death.

"Shh." Himeko held up a finger, signaling everyone to be quiet.

She looked at Xing with anticipation and said, "Let the person who was invited make their own decision."

A moment later, Hoshi suddenly stood up, looking intently at Himeko: "I remember that the train's rules have four parts: exploration, understanding, establishment, and connection. But after these two trips, I feel like there's one more thing, but no one has said it outright."

"Hmm?" Himeko was taken aback by his words, then smiled broadly.

Realized it so quickly? I never expected this child, who usually seems so carefree, to be so perceptive on the path of exploration.

She suggested to everyone, "Shall we say it together?"

"Um."

Everyone nodded.

Himeko, Welt, Danheng, March Seven, and Hoshi exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "Save them!"

When the exact same two words came from someone else's mouth, a strangely warm atmosphere arose, making everyone smile.

Himeko was deeply gratified: "So, what's your decision?"

Xing patted her chest: "So, I'm going! Not because it's fun, and definitely not because it's satisfying to slap Nanook in the face... Of course, that's part of the reason. But that's not important!"

Her gaze was intense as she said, "Since salvation is the train's guiding principle, there's no reason to skip Onpharos. If we ignore it, then one day, when I hear on the company broadcast that the Iron Tomb has been created, and Onpharos is nothing but a wreck, and everyone I was just chatting with in the chat group is dead, and I recall Bai Er's entrustment, one question will haunt me for the rest of my life—"

"Why didn't you try to save them back then? Why did you abandon exploring that area?"

"Hoo..." Xing let out a deep breath: "I'm not willing to be troubled by this question that will never have an answer my whole life! In pioneering, everyone should always be treated equally!"

"This..." March 7th's eyes widened. She had considered that Xing might be attracted to her because he was handsome or cool. But she never expected her thoughts to run so deep, her despair to reach such heights!

The guy who usually sneaked ice cream with me suddenly grew taller.

"Great! That's so true! Everyone should be treated equally when it comes to development. I want to go too!" She waved her little fist, her blood boiling with excitement.

"Alas," Dan Heng sighed, "The road ahead is fraught with peril... We must be careful."

He had seen that look in Xing's eyes before. He had seen it once before, on the sea surface of Lin Yuan Realm, and in the mirror of Youqiu Prison.

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say.

"I want to come too. I'm worried about leaving just the two of you."

Walter pushed up his glasses with satisfaction.

"Haha." Himeko smiled faintly. "It seems we don't need to vote by raising hands. So, is it settled then?"

"It's a deal!"

"Okay!" Himeko stood up, her high heels clicking crisply on the floor. "To celebrate reaching another consensus, I'll go make everyone a cup of the most delicious coffee."

"..."

The lively atmosphere suddenly turned into a deathly silence.

Xing's eyelids trembled slightly; her unwavering pioneering spirit was shaken just a tiny bit.

"Actually... sometimes being more shrewd and adaptable isn't such a bad thing."

Soon after, the train sent a message that it would keep its promise to keep the appointment.

[Crydella: Welcome, pioneers from beyond the heavens. Onpharos may not offer the most comfortable haven, but we always have the strongest arms, and we will never let our comrades be attacked from behind!]

Wan Di felt a tickle in his ribs as he listened to Caesar's words.

【Wan Di: Yes.】
