Chapter 61 May this journey ultimately lead to the stars!
When the familiar whistle of the Star Train finally pierced through the space station's barrier and came to a smooth stop on the platform, Qingyuan's eyes lit up instantly.
She stood respectfully beside Black Tower and Estelle (not trying to curry favor with them yet), gazing "sincerely" at the people getting off the train with her blue eyes that seemed to hold the entire starry sky.
That "sincerity" was mixed with unreserved expectation, a little bit of trepidation at first arrival, and an almost overflowing pure curiosity and excitement.
After a brief exchange and Black Tower's somewhat reserved introduction, the train crew members exchanged glances.
Navigator Himeko, holding her coffee, glanced at Qingyuan for a moment, then smiled elegantly:
If she really has any bad intentions... she doesn't seem like someone who can hide them.
His tone carried a hint of worldly wisdom and a touch of lighthearted banter.
Walter Young pushed up his glasses, his brow furrowed slightly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
My hobby is collecting "Houmu" series products? This... could it be that Honkai is still chasing me in some form?
Dan Heng crossed his arms, his expression as calm as ever: "I don't care."
Train safety is paramount, but so far, she has not presented any direct threat.
To put it simply, Teacher Danheng, I hope you won't keep thinking about your "Dragon Transformation Method" anymore.
March 7th patted Qingyuan's shoulder with great enthusiasm: "I think she's a good person!"
While greeting someone by clinging to their leg right from the start is... well, it is a bit too enthusiastic!
However, the Milky Way is so vast, different customs and habits are completely understandable!
She smiled brightly, easily giving her vote of confidence.
So, after a fairly straightforward "approval" process, Qingyuan successfully obtained permission to board the vehicle.
She boarded the train, looking around curiously, touching this and looking at that, filled with wonder at everything.
The time Qingyuan spent on the train was not much longer than Xing's, just enough for the next routine resupply.
A piercing alarm blared throughout the space station, and red warning lights spun wildly.
Outside the porthole, the once tranquil starry sky was torn apart, and a large number of "antimatter legion" phantom soldiers poured out like locusts, beginning to attack the space station's defenses.
Just as the train crew members were rapidly assembling, preparing to engage in defensive combat—
"The moment has finally arrived—!"
A clear, even joyful shout, "Finally!" rang out.
Qingyuan darted to the huge porthole of the observation car and looked out at the swarming legion.
The smile that appeared on his face was not one of fear, but rather an almost unrestrained one.
That smile held an eager excitement, the joy of finding a toy, and even a hint of indescribable exhilaration at "finally being able to stretch my muscles."
The next second, a burst of blue light erupted!
It didn't launch from the train; rather, Qingyuan's figure pierced directly through the train window.
Let's ignore Pam, who jumped up in anger for now.
It appeared in the outer void.
Behind her, nine tails unfurled, which were the majestic spirits of Yaoqing (mutations resulting from the fox-human bloodline that had reverted to its ancestral form after devouring Bailu).
Her figure instantly transformed into a streak of cyan lightning that darted and twisted freely through the void.
Its speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of visual perception, leaving only a continuous trail of blue light in its wake.
Those fierce phantom soldiers were like straw being harvested by an invisible giant scythe before this blue lightning bolt.
Before they could even mount an effective attack or defense, they disintegrated and annihilated into cosmic dust under a barrage of precise and violent slashes, impacts, and energy surges.
Qingyuan's fighting style is an instinctive and highly efficient "cleanup," carrying an elegant and indifferent air of effortless mastery.
In just a few breaths, she single-handedly cleared out the wave of invading soldiers that had invaded the main area of the space station, greatly reducing the pressure.
Finally, she stood in mid-air, her nine tails slightly retracted, her gaze locked onto a colossal creature in the distance that was roaring and radiating terrifying energy fluctuations—the Doomsday Beast.
Qingyuan tilted her head, a "that's fine" smile curving her lips. Then, she flashed back into the observation car of the train, her breathing as steady as if she had just gone for a walk.
"Alright," she clapped her hands and smiled at the somewhat bewildered train crew, "the rabble are almost gone. How about you guys take on that big guy?"
Her words seemed to carry some strange guidance.
Just as the train crew turned their attention to the apocalyptic beast, Xing subconsciously gripped her baseball bat, a strange impulse and determination to protect her companions welling up within her—
A vast, crimson light, carrying the dual meaning of destruction and rebirth, surged from the depths of the universe, penetrating everything and precisely pouring into the star's body!
The echoes of destiny resonate here.
The destructive star god, at this moment, cast his gaze upon its new traveler.
Originally, when Xing boarded the train, Qingyuan should have been the first person to meet her, but she was ordered by Pam to fix the windows and clean the carriage.
"You're punished by having to clean the entire train for a week. Let's see if you dare skip the main entrance next time!"
In the first ten-thousandth of a year, Qingyuan hung on Xing's leg.
In the second one ten-thousandth of a year, Qingyuan lay asleep on Xing's lap.
In the third one ten-thousandth of a year, Qingyuan let Xing lie on her lap to sleep.
She got tired of holding him. So she started playing a game of coaxing Xing like a baby.
Then, in the evening, after a formal vote by the train crew, everyone agreed to let Xing join the Starry Sky Train.
After that, we will remember the creed of pioneering together.
First, regardless of the ups and downs of fate, pioneers should have their own ideas.
Second, even when facing raging waves, the train crew should move in the same direction.
Third, even when facing a life-or-death situation, one should still resist injustice.
Fourth, even if forgotten by the world, one should not care about the pros and cons afterward.
Fifth, even when the Milky Way is shrouded in twilight, the long night should still be illuminated.
Sixth, even in a chaotic situation, we should still look ahead and crush the disorder.
May this journey lead us to the stars!
