Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

Cocolia in front paused and turned back to say to Bronya.

"Don't you see clearly, Bronya? There is no right or wrong here. There is only human arrogance and shortsightedness."

"Our ancestors - including Alisa Rand - burned their lives to continue this civilization, and then fell into silence, with their memories blown away by the wind and snow."

"They spend their lives composing paeans to human courage, but never find time to gaze up at the stars."

"A thousand years of time is but a drop in the ocean compared to the greater existence in the starry sky. The achievements of a tiny race are of no note."

"I will not repeat their mistakes and walk on a dead end and feel sorry for myself. If persistence is doomed to be futile, then I will choose a brand new beginning."

Cocolia expressed her determination, saying that protection was futile and that only the future promised by the star core was the near future.

Looking at Cocolia's almost insane look, Bronya retorted.

"But, isn't Krippo the Protector one of the magnificent beings you mentioned? Isn't it his power that has been protecting Beloberg?"

"Cunhu?" Kokolia sneered, "When has Cunhu ever looked humans in the eye? That's just the self-righteous delusion of the city builders."

She looked at Bronya and said gently.

"You will hear the true voice of grandeur, Bronya... In the end, you will understand me."

……

In the perpetual motion mechanical house, Jeppard's eyes were filled with shock.

Kevin glanced at him and asked, "How do you feel after hearing Cocolia's honest words?"

Jeppard said nothing, but shook his head silently.

"Is this autism? Little Jiejie?"

Shiluwa looked at Jeppard and asked with concern.

Seeing that his elder sister looked calm and was joking with him, Jeppard couldn't help but ask.

"Really? Sister, after seeing so much, don't you have any feelings?"

Xiluwa pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Yes, but not as exaggerated as you said. Maybe it's because I already had doubts about it in my heart."

Jeppard nodded and looked at Kevin and asked.

"Is it true that the guardian is not watching us?"

"Perhaps, but He did nothing about your disasters over the past few hundred years. Otherwise, Cocolia would not have believed in the promise of the Star Core."

Kevin didn't directly answer whether Clipper was watching, but he was sure that Aha must be watching.

In fact, Jeppard already had the answer in his mind, he just wanted others to give him a clear answer. Seeing that Kevin did not answer, Jeppard looked at the virtual screen in front of him again.

……

Ahead is the deepest part of the Echo Corridor, and outside the iron gate is the endless snowfield.

Looking at the scene ahead, Cocolia introduced it to Bronya.

"The first guardian commanded the Silver Mane Guards to fight here, and made great sacrifices in exchange for a brief respite."

"But the legions from the otherworld were tireless. She soon realized that flesh and blood could never stand up to such a terrible enemy."

"In despair... she turned her gaze to the star core and made her first wish."

Cocolia said as she turned around and glanced at Bronya.

"You also know what happened afterwards."

"So... the cold wave is actually a disaster caused by human wishes..."

Bronya's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Isn't it ironic? The star core just fulfilled mankind's wish, but we kept its existence a secret for the next few hundred years."

Cocolia chuckled, her tone full of self-mockery.

"They even tried to use it to suppress the star core... pathetic and ridiculous."

"It?" Bronya heard a word she had never heard of before. What was suppressing the star core?

"Something created with technology that doesn't belong to this world - a suppressor that companies and city builders from the old days attempted to use to contain the star's core."

Cocolia patiently answered Bronya's questions, she said softly.

"I know you have many questions, daughter. Be patient...you will have all your answers soon."

Cocolia pushed open the iron gate, took Bronya's hand, and led her into the depths of the snowfield.

……

"The end of this snowy road is probably the end of this journey."

Dan Heng said, looking at the winding snowy road in the picture.

"I don't want to reach the end so soon... I hope my journey will never end."

San Yueqi put her hands on her waist, looking reluctant.

Xing suggested, scratching his head as he listened to her words.

"Then don't set an end for yourself."

San Yueqi nodded thoughtfully, and after a while she figured it out. She patted Xing's shoulder and said excitedly.

"That's a great idea you have!"

Xing pointed at himself with his thumb and said proudly, "Of course not! If Galaxy Batman isn't awesome, then who else can be awesome?"

"That is to say... Bronya, and the fate of the Upper and Lower Districts is now in our hands... right in front of us."

Xier stared at the screen and sighed.

"It's strange. I thought I would be scared or nervous... but no. The only feeling I have now is that it's unreal."

Kevin complained in his heart, it would be strange if it could be real, how could he feel involved if he watched the whole show?

Xing on the side looked at Xier and pointed at Kevin and the other two to comfort them.

"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, the three of them will hold it up."

"Hey, why don't you add yourself!" March 7th complained helplessly.

Xing Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, and Xier was also amused. The previous sense of unreality disappeared instantly.

Shiluwa looked at Jeppard and said.

"I have been studying star cores for so many years, and I am finally going to see the real thing. Brother, do you understand how I feel?"

Jeppard nodded and gave her a reassuring look.

"I understand, sister. I will protect you."

"The train passes through one world after another. We are just passers-by, witnesses of a story."

Dan Heng crossed his arms over his chest and glanced at everyone, then glanced at Xing and said.

"We have always avoided being swept into the waves that determine the survival of the world... but there are always times when we cannot help ourselves."

San Yue Qi looked at Xing and explained for her.

"In other words, you're extremely lucky on your first pioneering trip!"

Xing nodded. Isn't that right? There are instant noodles, a trash can, and a good brother to protect him. It's really great.

Xier listened to what everyone said and nodded.

"I was going to say some unnecessary discouraging words, but I decided not to. When I go on adventures with you, I feel that no matter how big the difficulties are, they are not a problem."

San Yue Qi looked at her approvingly and said.

"That's right! A pleasant adventure doesn't have so many rules and regulations. Help people in need, make trustworthy friends, and save the world a few times--"

“This is the pioneering spirit!”

Is this what pioneering is? The feeling... isn’t bad, at least it’s much better than being in the Black Tower Space Station.

This time, I seemed to have really integrated into it.

"Ah……"

Kevin chuckled and asked everyone.

"Are you ready?"

Everyone clenched their weapons and nodded in unison.

"Then let's... set off!"

Purple energy gushed out from Kevin's body, quickly enveloping everyone.

The air wave roared in the room, a bright light flashed, and everyone disappeared where they were, leaving only the overturned chair.

……

This is where the core of the star is located. A huge mechanical arm lies on the edge of the platform, and at the opposite corner of the platform, there is a huge instrument - an instrument used to suppress the core of the star.

Bronya looked up at the "cage" in the center of the instrument, where the star core lay quietly.

But the moment she looked over, the whisper of the star core sounded in her ears, and a strange power wanted to surge into her mind.

“…No…don’t…”

Bronya covered her head and resisted in pain.

Cocolia looked at Bronya and said calmly.

"Don't resist, Bronya - accept the common will!"

"No... this... is not what I want..."

Cocolia looked up at the star core and muttered to herself.

"Look at the future they promised, Bronya! A world without poverty, cold, and pain; a world where people no longer have to beg for survival like prisoners; a world we can protect forever."

"For seven hundred years, we have been trying and fighting, hoping that the light of humanity would guide us towards revival. But what is the result? We have failed miserably!"

“Why is it that when faced with an irresistible force, the first thing we think of is always to resist and plug our ears instead of listening to its demands?”
