Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 7 Astrological Calendar 4000 – To the Present

Of course, the Demon Dragon Dulin couldn't possibly appear on the Immortal Ship, at least not Rhine-Dortmund.

But that doesn't mean that someone similar to Rhein-Dortmund won't appear.

Just like this... ever-growing dragon before our eyes.

Sensing the dragon's malice, Yun immediately transformed into his original form, and his warhorse charged fiercely towards the dragon, who had not yet reacted.

Yun Zhi wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he sensed the power of the Dragon Lord emanating from this dragon—so what was Yin Yue Jun doing? It had to be him in Luofu.

This master is truly not worthy of praise.

Yunzhi's warhorse, like half of his body, traversed the void and charged towards the evil dragon, giving Yunzhi the opportunity to fire an arrow.

The dragon's vital point was on the top of its head, and Yun's arrow struck it precisely.

If only I could be this accurate when facing sudden attacks.

Yun couldn't help but think that way.

The evil dragon let out a mournful cry and fell, its body gradually shrinking until it transformed into a Wisdom Egg, which fell into the vast and boundless ancient sea.

When he or she hatches, it will be a new life.

Yun Zhi guessed what the Dragon Lord was thinking.

The Vidyadharas have no ability to reproduce, so when one dies, there is truly one less. Therefore, they changed their method. When a Vidyadhara's life is about to end, it will return to the ancient sea and transform into a Vidyadhara egg. When it hatches again, it will be a new life.

...In other words, just like the reincarnation of a person, a completely new person is simply someone whose soul has been reborn from inside a human body into an egg.

But Yunzhi could now sense that his reason was about to be consumed by rage.

The evil dragon from before disappeared without causing any casualties thanks to his intervention.

But Yun Zhidu dared not imagine how many casualties that evil dragon would have caused in Luofu if he hadn't been there, given its silent appearance.

Moreover, since the evil dragon originated from the Scale Abyss Realm, it most likely borrowed the power of the Jianmu tree.

After wavering between "shooting an arrow at Lin Yuanjing himself" and "asking Lan to shoot an arrow at Lin Yuanjing," Yun Zhi ultimately decided to go and see what was going on first.

If there's a reason for it, it's not entirely incomprehensible. At least there were no casualties. Considering that Lord Yinyue fought alongside him, he was punished first. The Immortal Boat Alliance has no reason to impose a heavy sentence.

Yunzhi thought her idea was excellent.

As a result, when Yunzhi saw Danfeng before the Cloud Cavalry arrived, he still couldn't suppress his anger.

"You dare to lay a finger on the Jianmu tree? How dare you!"

I originally intended to speak politely, but the words turned into an interrogation as soon as they came out.

The light in Yin Yuejun's eyes was completely gone; his confidence and arrogance seemed to have been shattered by the appearance of that wicked dragon.

The craftsman Ying Xing supported him, but his white hair had turned as black as ink.

He seemed to have gained abundant power, but this power... Yun Zhi narrowed his eyes; the power in the craftsman's body was exactly the same as that of Shu Hu.

What kind of mess is this?

"Explain yourself, what exactly are you doing?"

First, find out what happened.

Yinyuejun couldn't even utter a complete sentence, so it was Yingxing who spoke first.

"Suddenly dead, we won. How many more victories like this can we have? Jingfeng Baiyu Zhenjun, that evil creature can come back again and again, but we..."

Ying Xing gritted his teeth: "If it weren't for the True Lord's help, Bai Heng would probably have died in the war against Feng Rao this time as well. I don't know how many more such sacrifices we have to make..."

"So, do you want to turn yourselves into monsters too?" Yun Zhi seemed unmoved: "Back then, he and I were neither star gods nor messengers, yet we still won against Suiyang. Later, he borrowed power from Suiyang to resist Jianmu, and ultimately won as well."

"We all came from ordinary backgrounds. So what? If we can do it, why can't you?"

"Danfeng, if that monstrous dragon had gone on a killing spree in Luofu, Luofu might have followed in Yuanqiao's footsteps. You're not entirely confident about that. How dare you?"

Beneath the mask, black, gem-like eyes gleamed with a cold light: "Danfeng, have you considered the consequences of failure? Have you considered the future of Luofu? If Luofu truly becomes a second Yuanqiao, how will you explain this to the other immortal ships' Chiming? How will the other four Dragon Lords face themselves?"

Does this guy even consider the Immortal Ship his home, a place where he can settle down and make a living?

Yun suddenly paused, stunned.

Now I finally understand where the sense of incongruity comes from.

If Danfeng truly considered the Immortal Boat his home, and the home of the Chiming Clan, how could he possibly do something so dangerous? At the very least, he would be extremely cautious and wouldn't act unless he was 90% certain.

But he didn't.

He not only did it, but he almost destroyed Luofu.

Ultimately, Chiming may never have considered the Immortal Boat as his home.

They still miss Tang Hai, and they still miss the ancient stars when immortality still existed.

Yun Zhi could feel that Lan's gaze had already been fixed on him, waiting for him to speak.

Yun Zhi glanced at Dan Feng one last time, drew his longbow, and an arrow flashed with a cold light as he drew his hand.

He heard the voices of the Cloud Cavalry behind him, and it seemed he could also hear the voices of General Shence and Sword Master.

The Dragon Lord's guards seemed to want to rush forward, but they were no match for the speed of Yun Zhi's arrows.

The white-feathered arrow flew out, piercing Danfeng's heart. The powerful impact sent Danfeng tumbling into the ancient sea.

Yingxing tried to stop Yinyuejun, but she was too late.

"The Dragon Lord of Wisdom and the Moon Lord Danfeng, for their own selfish gain, coveted the Jianmu tree and greedily sought immortality, nearly causing a great disaster. Although no one was injured or killed, they absolutely cannot go unpunished. Today, an arrow pierces their heart, but in their future rebirth, their past transgressions will be forgiven."

Yun Zhi's voice drifted slowly through the Lin Yuan Realm.

"Baiye Yingxing, who assisted Yinyue in secretly tampering with the Jianmu tree, was suddenly corrupted by blood and flesh, falling into the form of the Abundant Evil. Due to his past merits, he need not be purged. He is expelled from the Immortal Ship and is forbidden from returning here!"

"The Imperial Bow bears witness!"

The last sentence was like a thunderclap, leaving people in a daze.

A deep, resonant voice drifted over from afar.

"allow!"

The voice was neither sad nor happy, yet it shook people's hearts and minds.

It is the Emperor's Bow Master!

General Shence realized this almost instantly.

This must be the most interference the First Envoy has ever had in the affairs of the Immortal Ship. Has it even alarmed the Emperor Bow Master?

The Rebellion of Drinking Moon has thus come to an end, a case of starting strong but ending weakly, though barely passable.

After finishing this task, Yun returned to the universe to continue following Lan.

Later he heard that the head of the Luofu Sword had fallen into demonic possession, and General Shence personally led troops to suppress it, but her whereabouts were unknown.

The destiny of immortal beings is to possess a demonic body, an existence they cannot escape. The human brain is finite, but memory is infinite. Once memories accumulate to a certain extent, madness becomes their final destination.

For a long time, Yun Zhi didn't pay any attention to it, and didn't even return to the Immortal Ship.

Until the year 8072 of the Star Calendar, the two immortal ships, Yaoqing and Fanghu, simultaneously sent out beacon signals, warning that the Fengrao People's Alliance Army had re-formed and that the planet "Kedu Mirage," which had once threatened Yuque, had revived and was encroaching on Fanghu.

They were too far apart at the time. Yunzhi considered rushing back to Fanghu from their location, but even if the horse's legs broke, it wouldn't be fast enough.

I'm afraid by the time he arrives, Fanghu will be dead.

Lan knew this too, so when Fanghu signaled him with the fragments of the light arrows that Yunzhi had given them, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

Yun Zhi had warned them from the beginning that if they wanted to ask the Emperor's Bow for help, they should first withdraw their troops, even if the people of Fengrao thought they were running away, because they wouldn't be able to be smug for long anyway.

He thought there was no problem.

Anyway, after Lan fired that arrow, Yunzhi also thought of the helplessness he felt during the sudden chaos.

So he sent a request to Lan to go solo.

It wasn't that he wanted to betray Lan, but rather that he felt he hadn't seen much of the world in a long time. He had been on the path of annihilating the Abundance with Lan all along, and his vision had become too narrow.

If this continues, we'll really regress completely into ancient apes.

He had a lot to say, but Lan was more understanding than he expected. As soon as he made his suggestion, Lan waved her hand and told him to go about his business.

Then they ran off into the distance without stopping.

Next, Yunzhi traveled through space, sometimes helping worlds invaded by abundance, and sometimes going to peaceful places to have fun.

If the opportunity arises, fight against the legions under the command of Destruction.

Not long after, Yunzhi encountered two nameless guests during a battle against the legion. In the end, he accepted the invitation and boarded the train that had once belonged to Akiwili of the Pioneers.

And so, I've stayed there until now.

The journey of fate continues.

And the future lies further away.
