Chapter 575

Seeing Welt suddenly break out in a cold sweat, Pom-Pom, completely unaware of what had happened, curiously moved closer to Welt's body and began to carefully observe this new passenger.

"Everyone else seems fine, but your health... doesn't look so good."

"Haha."

After mimicking a handkerchief with his ability, Welt wiped the sweat from his face and said to Pom-Pom with an awkward smile.

"When I was young, I was on the verge of death several times because of some battles, and for a period of time afterward, my health was indeed not very good."

"Hmm, I see."

Hearing Welt's words, Pom-Pom, without a doubt, said helplessly.

"I was going to ask you what kind of drinks you like, but since you're like this... you should probably drink more hot water first."

"Yes, just give me some hot water."

Watching the Train Conductor depart, Welt, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, understood completely that he couldn't underestimate anyone else in this universe full of hidden talents.

It's worth noting that Pom-Pom, a creature that seems unfathomable, is actually quite easy to get along with—he showed no hostility towards him from beginning to end.

Welt quickly read through the information Lin Yu had sent him and discovered that some of the so-called Star Gods could cause cosmic-level disasters.

The deceased Star God of Procreation caused a cosmic-level crisis some time ago.

The youngest Star God of Destruction is now having his subordinate force Anti-Matter Legion, wreak havoc and cause destruction everywhere.

Although he was traveling with Lin Yu, and with Lin Yu, a companion whose strength far surpassed his own, Welt felt he didn't need to worry too much.

However... while the envoy was alright, the Star God was coming, and he felt that Lin Yu was definitely doomed.

"What's wrong, Uncle Yang?"

Lin Yu, who had just been teleported back to the train, saw Welt, who was clearly starting to get nervous, and asked Welt with a smile.

"Why are you so nervous? Is Dr. Tesla calling to come after us?"

No, that's not the case.

Upon hearing Lin Yu mention his beloved wife's name, Welt put aside his thoughts and smiled and shook his head at Lin Yu.

"I told her I was going out this time, and that I would keep in touch regularly, so she wasn't too worried."

"Moreover, she said, 'With Lin Yu around, I can feel a little more at ease.'"

"Haha, everyone thinks so highly of me, it puts a lot of pressure on me."

After casually finding a sofa to sit down, Lin Yu sensed the subtle atmosphere and took the initiative to speak to everyone.

"Don't listen to Uncle Yang's nonsense. The older generation has too much of a bias against me. They're practically exaggerating my contributions from 1 to 100."

"I need to correct that."

After adjusting his glasses, Welt, having regained his composure, spoke calmly to Lin Yu.

"My assessment of you is actually the same as that of most people in the three major forces of Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent."

"That's because you've all gone too far."

Listening to Welt's calm statement, Lin Yu suddenly looked exhausted and said to everyone.

"I am the one who saved the world, but that doesn't mean the world was saved because of me."

"I've always been annoyed by those idiots who rave about Otto —it's something everyone worked hard on together, and even if he were a proper archbishop, he would only have a share of the credit, not all of it."

"Everyone did their job properly, and that's the main reason our world can be saved—anyway, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm only 28 years old, and I'm very prone to getting cocky."

"I see absolutely no connection between you and the word 'inflation'."

At this moment, Himeko, who was facing Lin Yu, shook her head slightly, then suddenly looked sharply at Lin Yu's body.

"After Xiao Sanyue and Dan Heng returned, I read the report that Dan Heng submitted."

"Now, let me guess. Although there's no basis for it, but..."

"—The path you embarked on was not one of protection, was it?"

Wow, that's so perceptive!

Although Lin Yu had no intention of hiding it, he could sense that Himeko was definitely more perceptive in knowledge-related matters than her teacher who was an alcoholic every day.

"You and Mr. Welt are both from other worlds. Before this, you had never even met the Pathstrider."

"So now, it's been about four days since you drank the coffee I made at the space station. Back then, I suspected you'd only just awakened your destiny, but now..."

"On the fourth day, you embarked on your second destiny, which I consider to be a very unusual phenomenon."

After saying these words, Himeko did not say anything more.

Admittedly, the universe is so vast that in a sense, it is not so strange that strange things happen.

However, those Pathstrider embark on two separate paths simultaneously... while not entirely nonexistent, are certainly rare.

Especially considering that Lin Yu embarked on two destinies in just five days, it seems even more exaggerated.

It's fortunate that Lin Yu is clearly a good person. If he had even the slightest unfriendly intention, Himeko strongly suspects that even the Herta, the true form of intelligence, would likely have been defeated in a confrontation with Lin Yu.

After all—before becoming Pathstrider, Lin Yu was already terrifyingly strong.

"Ah, about this... I guess I was just lucky."

After forcibly changing the subject with an excuse, Lin Yu shrugged helplessly.

"In some ways, I am indeed very popular."

Before ascending to the status of Star Gods, most of them were various kinds of creatures or non-living things with thoughts.

"Perhaps when they choose others to bestow power, it's not as complicated as people think about it."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Hearing Lin Yu's perfunctory answer, March 7th's attention was easily diverted.

As for Dan Heng, Himeko, and Xing, they were not easily dealt with by Lin Yu using this method.

However, all three of them are quite emotionally intelligent. Seeing that their companions had no intention of continuing the conversation, they certainly wouldn't press them for more details.

"By the way, where's Xiao Yi?"

Seeing that Lin Yu didn't want to discuss these topics in depth, Welt suddenly asked Lin Yu a question.

"That's strange. Before I came, I heard that Xiao Yi had become increasingly naughty lately, and that you should discipline her more. But now..."

"Ah, she's probably resting in her room now."

Seeing Welt's puzzled look, as if to say, "Your daughter has been energetic for ten years, and she's still sleeping at this hour," Lin Yu didn't delve into the topic further.

He couldn't very well say that he had discovered his daughter's tendency to cause trouble, so he temporarily put her in solitary confinement.

"Alright, alright, although I'd love to throw a welcome party for the new members, I think it's better if we announce our next destination first."

After recalling the report submitted by Dan Heng, Himeko said with a complicated expression.

"However, this time..."

"Ahem, the hot water is here."

After placing the hot water in front of Welt, Pom-Pom looked at Himeko, who seemed hesitant to speak, and addressed the group.

"Attention passengers! The jump route meeting is now officially open!"

"First of all, Pom-Pom would like to thank all the anonymous passengers for successfully resolving the problem at this station, allowing the train to continue its journey along the star trails!"

"Everyone... ah."

Hearing Pom-Pom's formulaic words, the three young men who were just there to make up the numbers all turned their gazes to Lin Yu.

"Actually..."

"Besides Lin Yu..."

"It seems like nobody's been doing anything."

"Actually, that's what I wanted to say too."

Hearing everyone's awkward words, Himeko said helplessly.

"Lin Yu, I know you have already restrained your power, but even if you have restrained your power, you are still too powerful."

"When you're exploring new lands, you have to be careful to deal with all the crises that come from a foreign land. But the problem is, with you around, many things don't count as crises."

"It's good that no one is in danger, but as things stand now... apart from you, I don't think the others are really doing any pioneering work."

"Oh, about this, I know everyone's in a hurry, but anyway, don't rush, after all..."

"Oh my, it's been a long time, everyone on the Stellaron Hunters, I'm Kafka."

Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, the image of a woman in a suit suddenly appeared in the train carriage.

As Xing gazed at the woman who had suddenly appeared, she felt that the woman's gaze towards her seemed to have... a hint of tenderness.

Moreover, she hadn't forgotten that voice—she was certain she had heard it before.

"Hmm, I didn't expect to see a few unfamiliar faces on this train."

After looking Lin Yu and Welt over, Kafka walked up to Lin Yu asked him a question.

"Sir, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, but I personally think that etiquette is superfluous when it comes to terrorists like Stellaron Hunters."

Faced with the image that was walking towards him, Lin Yu spoke calmly.

"It's still not too late to roll out of the carriage now, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?"

After casually repeating Lin Yu's words, Kafka shrugged pretentiously.

"At this moment, here and now, I am but a mere image. Could it be that you, sir, are separated by such a vast distance—"

"Kafka, something terrible has happened!"

At Kafka's current location, Silver Wolf suddenly shouted frantically at Kafka.

"To make a long story short—someone has tracked us down and is constantly trying to break through my 'defenses'!"

"... Are you serious?"

Seeing the rare panic on Silver Wolf's face, Kafka didn't ask any questions but chose to trust her companion's judgment.

Inside the train, Kafka, feigning composure, raised her hands in utter helplessness towards Lin Yu.

"Alright, then I'll give this unknown gentleman face."

"To make a long story short, I hope that everyone, regardless of their original destination, will immediately go to the Luofu Xianzhou."

"Fifty system hours ago, a star core on Luofu... exploded."

"According to our calculations, if you don't go to 'Luofu,' the star core will eventually contaminate the entire immortal ship, and about half of the inhabitants will perish."

After saying that, Silver Wolf shouted at Kafka.

"Kafka, hurry up!"

"... I see."

After clearly sensing the barely concealed anxiety in Silver Wolf's tone, Kafka uttered her final words to the group.

"I think, given the style of the Nameless Ones, they shouldn't just let the Luofu Xianzhou go to waste."

"I've said everything I needed to say. I hope..."

"—I hope we can meet again on the Luofu Xianzhou."

After saying this, Kafka's image disappeared from everyone's sight.

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a look of resentment appeared on his face.

"Hmm, how come the problem is solved?"

"No... it's not solved."

At this moment, Silver Wolf said to Kafka with resentment.

"I was... let go."

"Um?"
