Joining the Astral Express Crew, Her Eyes Cleared Up

The Sky Screen's image finally froze on the instant Tang San fell.

Every living being on Douluo Continent trembled violently.

No one had expected that, despite no divine miracle descending upon Douluo Continent for ten thousand years,

three gods would be born in succession within just a few decades.

One of them had even been killed by the other two gods shortly after becoming one himself.

Of course, the information revealed by the Sky Screen was even more explosive than that.

For instance, Spirit Hall had actually wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and dealt a devastating blow to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

It had even directly restructured itself and established the Spirit Hall Empire.

When the Heaven Dou army fought the Spirit Hall Empire,

everyone saw that the Tang Army established by Tang San wielded a peculiar weapon.

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow could actually allow ordinary people to unleash terrifying power capable of killing four-ring Soul Ancestors.

There was also the dreaded Poison Douluo.

It could be said that the poison released by Poison Douluo was the most crucial turning point in that battle.

Not only did he slaughter nearly eighty percent of Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters, but he also severely crushed the Spirit Hall Empire's morale.

He even completely threw Qian Renxue, who had been bathing in sunlight high in the sky to accumulate strength, into disarray.

Clearly, beneath the sun, she could continuously draw upon power without end.

Yet she had no choice but to prematurely adopt a mutually damaging fighting style, intending to risk her life to take down Tang San.

In the end, the incomparably cautious Tang San seized her opening and beat her so severely that she was on the verge of death, nearly falling on the spot!

War had always been this cruel.

The ordinary people of Douluo Continent could not distinguish right from wrong in such matters.

They only remembered the terror of those powerful figures.

Especially Poison Douluo. The poison he released could so easily destroy the defenses of a mighty fortress.

Within Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong watched everything exposed on the Sky Screen.

Those plans Spirit Hall had yet to carry out had been laid bare before the world.

She clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles turned white, her rage nearly bursting from her chest.

Now that the plan had been exposed, carrying it out step by step would become incomparably difficult.

However, her sinister gaze fixed upon Tang San and Poison Douluo.

No matter what, those two had to be eliminated in advance before she could rest easy.

At that moment, Poison Douluo was at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

When he saw himself releasing poisonous gas and slaughtering an entire city, his body could not help but shudder.

Although his temperament was eccentric and vicious, and he was naturally bloodthirsty,

he still had reservations about truly slaughtering all the living beings in an entire city at once.

Within the Clear Sky Sect, they learned that Tang San was Tang Hao's son.

They learned that he had encountered countless fortuitous opportunities, consumed immortal herbs, possessed formidable strength, and even reached third place on the Genius Ranking.

More than half of the Clear Sky Sect's upper ranks immediately set out and descended the mountain to search for Tang San's whereabouts.

However, when they later saw Tang San stripped of his Spirit Bones and robbed of ten thousand years of Spirit Ring cultivation,

many sect elders began to waver and doubt.

Even if they found Tang San in such a state, would he still be worth the sect's full efforts to cultivate?

But when they saw Tang San becoming a god, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect immediately became fired up again.

Even without receiving any rewards from the Sky Screen, Tang San had already been able to absorb a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring as his fourth Spirit Ring.

The Spirit Ring cultivation years that had now been taken away as punishment by the Sky Screen could certainly be easily made up for in the future.

His hope of becoming a god remained immense.

Thus, the Clear Sky Sect's forces moved out once more.

Following the faintest traces, they hurried toward Heaven Dou City.

They had to take Tang San away and secretly nurture him into a god.

At the same time, they had to ensure Tang San's safety.

After all, Spirit Hall's plans had already been exposed. Having plotted for so many years, they would never accept failure willingly.

It was even possible that they would brazenly launch a war right now.

Spirit Hall's seven great worshippers were not something any force could contend against.

The reason Spirit Hall had not acted directly in the early stages was entirely because it wanted to infiltrate the major empires through schemes.

It wanted to seize the entirety of Douluo Continent without spending a single soldier.

If everything were brought into the open, Tang San had not become a god, and the Shrek Seven Devils had not become Title Douluo.

What could the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire use to stop Spirit Hall's iron hooves?

"Spirit Hall!!"

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen stared at the Sky Screen and let out a thunderous roar.

He had never imagined that his sect would one day be completely annihilated by Spirit Hall.

He hurriedly sent people to contact the other sects among the Upper Three Sects, as well as the two great empires.

They absolutely could not allow Spirit Hall's scheme to succeed. They had to unite and strangle Spirit Hall in its cradle ahead of time.

Bo Saixi of Sea God Island, along with Sea God's many believers,

watched Tang San on the Sky Screen with disbelief written across their faces.

They had never expected such a human to eventually inherit the Sea God's divine position.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai leaped directly from the sea and transformed into human form.

She glared furiously at Tang San on the Sky Screen and rebuked him angrily:

"Someone who tricked us Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts into sacrificing ourselves like this is utterly unworthy of being called the Sea God!"

"He is simply tarnishing the great Sea God's glorious name!!"

Wherever there were people, there would be war.

Whether the original intention was survival or the pursuit of a better life,

the smoke of war was often impossible to avoid.

Castorice looked at the souls of the dead who had perished in war on the Sky Screen.

Her eyes were full of regret.

Mimi also curled its tiny body into Stelle's arms.

It looked utterly grief-stricken; it truly could not bear to watch such a tragic scene.

Fortunately, these were all things that would only happen in the future.

Since they had come to this world, they had a way to stop this catastrophe.

This Sky Screen had truly been a tremendous help.

It had allowed the people of this world to avoid an approaching destruction in advance.

After the Sky Screen finished playing the scenes of Tang San's death,

the scene of Stelle's death followed immediately after.

Tang San's death had certainly shocked everyone beyond measure.

Gods could actually be born in Douluo Continent's future, and they could even be killed after becoming gods.

Yet everyone was even more curious about Stelle's strength.

She was definitely stronger than godly Qian Renxue, Tang San, and Bibi Dong combined.

What had such a powerful person experienced to eventually walk toward death?

And what had she died for?

The Sky Screen did not directly show Bibi Dong piercing Tang San's heart.

Instead, it provided a detailed introduction to the background of that era.

It also explained the beginning and end of the war between the Spirit Hall Empire and the two great empires.

Clearly, this had already revealed the reason behind Tang San's death.

Some said Tang San had fought the two gods of the Spirit Hall Empire for the sake of the two great empires and all living beings under heaven.

They said that he had ultimately died a heroic death.

Many people held deep doubts about that claim.

After all, when Poison Douluo released poisonous gas and slaughtered tens of thousands within the city,

Tang San had personally said that he wanted to destroy Spirit Hall to avenge his mother.

As for the citizens of the Spirit Hall Empire who died, they had nothing whatsoever to do with him.

No matter how heatedly the people of the continent discussed it,

the Sky Screen's image continued to play.

In the new scene, a long corridor appeared.

Besides Stelle, there were three other people in the image.

A young man dressed in green.

A middle-aged man in brown clothes wearing glasses.

Beside the middle-aged man stood a girl with short pink hair.

A blue camera hung at the girl's waist.

The four gathered together, seemingly discussing a matter of immense gravity.

At that moment, Stelle spoke first, bringing up something that had long been weighing on her mind:

"Pom-Pom said the fuel is almost depleted..."

The middle-aged man with glasses spoke in a calm, steady voice that inexplicably made people feel at ease.

He said solemnly, "Although Pom-Pom was venting his emotions more than anything at the time, what he said was indeed true."

"Since you joined us, the Astral Express has spent longer than expected at every station afterward."

"To ensure the crew's safety, Pom-Pom had no choice but to repeatedly delay the jump schedule."

The young man dressed in green suddenly understood upon hearing this.

He nodded and said, "So that's why. No wonder I often heard Pom-Pom anxiously pacing through the corridor."

The short-haired pink girl sighed softly:

"So the conductor has been quietly giving so much for us all along."

At that moment, the bespectacled middle-aged man explained further:

"Unlike ordinary vehicles, the Astral Express converts each instance of Trailblaze into energy that sustains its operation."

"In an ideal state, as long as the Trailblaze journey never stops, the train can obtain an endless supply of power."

"Like a perpetual motion machine, it can keep moving forward."

"However, because of what we encountered before, the fuel has been consumed more quickly than expected."

"Two more jumps may be the limit."

After hearing that, the pink-haired girl immediately looked startled.

She hurriedly said, "Two times? Doesn't that mean we're already in great danger?"

"Eek, I don't want to turn back into an ice cube drifting through space again."

Stelle blinked beside her and corrected her with a serious expression, "A beautiful-girl ice cube."

The pink-haired girl froze for a moment. She turned toward Stelle, her tone becoming a little lighter:

"When you put it that way, the situation really does seem less bleak?"

However, she quickly came to her senses. The smile vanished from her face, and her voice trembled faintly:

"Eek~ But I still don't want to turn back into a beautiful-girl ice cube drifting through space!"

The young man dressed in green analyzed calmly:

"In other words, when choosing our next destination, we must consider the fuel issue."

The middle-aged man with glasses folded his arms and nodded. "That's right. I've already checked the star map."

"The worlds closest to us are the ocean planet Lusaka Planet and the mechanical planet Melstein."

Just as everyone was talking over one another about which planet to visit,

a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

Everyone in the image, as well as the living beings of Douluo Continent watching the Sky Screen, could not help but freeze, finding it familiar.

"Perhaps you could listen to my suggestion?"

A mysterious veiled woman slowly emerged from March 7th's room nearby.

Her gaze swept across the group, and her tone carried a familiar intimacy:

"We meet again, everyone."

On the Sky Screen, the image began to shift slowly.

The viewers finally learned everyone's identities.

The mysterious veiled woman was named Black Swan.

The short-haired pink girl beside Stelle and the young man in green

were March 7th and Dan Heng, respectively.

As for the bespectacled middle-aged uncle with the calm demeanor,

his name was Welt.

There was also the Astral Express navigator, Himeko.

However, what made countless people's hearts pound in terror

was that familiar figure in the image—

It was Sunday, whom the Astral Express had struck in Penacony before!

That terrifying being who had personally created an Aeon was actually here as well!

At this moment, Mr. Sunday looked completely different from how he had in Penacony.

None of his former majestic, commanding aura remained.

His eyes were clear and bright, filled with pure innocence and confusion.

Like a newborn baby ignorant of the world.

Those clean eyes made everyone involuntarily think of Stelle's gaze.

A powerful man who had once reached the realm of an Aeon.

A man willing to give everything for his dream and his sister's wish.

No one could imagine it.

How had he become like this?

Like Stelle, with such clear and pure eyes.

The story on the Sky Screen continued.

It finally revealed the purpose of their journey to those watching.

To obtain the fuel needed to keep the Astral Express running.

They were about to head to an unknown world they had never set foot in.

Amphoreus!!

Stelle would actually die there in the future.

That alone proved how dangerous Amphoreus was.

For a while, the people of Douluo Continent could not understand.

Why would they go somewhere so dangerous?

Nor could they understand what the so-called Trailblaze meant.

The people of the continent watched the events of Stelle's world with even greater curiosity, craning their necks and paying close attention.

They all imagined that one day, they too could leave Douluo Continent.

And travel to that vast and mysterious world!
