"Really! That's wonderful! Akivili, you've struck gold! We won't hold it against you for sneaking out this time."
Duolike was overjoyed; it was from the gardener in the Garden, the kind of gift that didn't need to be returned.
Throughout the entire galaxy, everyone knows how rare it Path of Existence Strider. This Path of destiny may seem vast, but very few can actually embark on it, and those who successfully do Path of Existence.
Those Path of Existence Strider, due to the inherent characteristics of their Path, are considered terrifying in terms of combat power. There was a previous report of a Path of Existence Strider taking on four other Pathstrider and defeating them all.
The person who defeated that Path of Existence Strider was another Path of Existence Strider; the two fought because of a disagreement about their Path of Existence.
This demonstrates just how terrifying the combat power of the Path of Existence Strider is. With such an exceptionally powerful individual present, the train's safety is comprehensively enhanced.
That's why Duolike kept praying that Dong Tian wasn't one of Daiyu's people. Daiyu extremely protective of its own, so if he was from Daiyu, they would have no choice but to send him back. Fortunately, Dong Tian came from the Garden.
"Um... is it really necessary to be this happy?"
Dong Tian scratched his head, looking puzzled. "It's just a gardener's job, why are you so agitated?"
Dong Tian, who has dealt with the Path of Existence Strider" for a long time, said that the Path of Existence Strider is nothing special, and not as exaggerated as the outside world makes it out to be.
The rest of the Pathstrider: I don't believe you for a second.
"It's necessary! Of course it's necessary! Solo Path of Existence Strider are extremely rare. Many powerful forces would pay a fortune to find one. Those Path of Existence Strider are too stubborn, like oxen."
They believe that if they are bound by money, what is the point of their existence? Therefore, many of these Path of Existence Strider are unwilling to join other factions.
The vast majority of those Path of Existence Strider have joined the Xianzhou Daiyu and the Garden of Existence. They can't exactly go to the Garden and fight Daiyu it, can they? They'd get hacked to pieces if they did.
Only a fool would dare to mess with Daiyu and the Garden. The Garden used to be feared because of the Path of Existence Strider, but things are Emanator of Existence now. The Garden is now guarded by a genuine Emanator -level combatant, or at least someone who believes in Ayinai.
Needless to say, the Xianzhou Daiyu another story. With two Supreme Beings from one family, and two powerful figures with envoys Emanator of Existence their affairs, what kind of crazy idea would they have to try Daiyu?
"Haha, that's not wrong. Although Daiyu and the Garden are both forces, they are not the same. Daiyu protective of its own because Daiyu is Xianzhou, so it has a record of how many Path of Existence Strider. In addition, with Daiyu's Master Diviner Wanmeng, it's not difficult to find one who escapes."
The Garden is different. Garden has a large population and a vast territory. In addition, the Garden has just been restored and there are many things that need to be dealt with, so it is too busy to manage everything. Under these circumstances, it is indeed better for those Pathstrider have left the Garden to stay.
But... aren't you worried that I won't stay, but instead turn around and leave, emulating those wandering, Path of Existence Strider?"
Duolike smiled upon hearing this; her laughter was pleasant and cheerful.
"Of course not. Trailblaze won't force anyone who wants to leave to stay. Since you were willing to come here with Akivili, it proves that you want to stay on the Astral Express. So... here, welcome to the Astral Express."
Dong Tian looked at the bluish-white train ticket in Duolike's hand and smiled.
There are two types of tickets for the Astral Express: one is a gold-plated special ticket, which is for passengers with a specific destination and goal.
The light blue and white ticket given to Dong Tian was a pass, which was for passengers like Dong Tian who did not have a specific destination and might get off at any time.
But regardless of the type of ticket, it represents your identity as Nameless, and it means that you have joined the Astral Express.
Dong Tian looked at the pass in Duolike's hand, reached out, took it from her Duolike gaze, and then put it into his chest pocket.
"Then I shall humbly accept it, Miss Navigator."
Duolike nodded happily and said, "Just call me Duolike we've joined the Astral Express, we're family."
Upon hearing the exchange between Duolike and Dong Tian, the other Nameless cheered. Their Astral Express now had Path of Existence Strider!
Just then, the "plush toy" that had been chasing after Akivili returned. Dong Tian stood there watching as the "plush toy" trotted up to him with its short legs.
Dong Tian looked at the strange creature in front of him with curiosity in his eyes. Akivili hadn't told him about this kind of creature on the Astral Express.
Before Dong Tian could even extend his wicked hands, the "plush toy" in front of him spoke.
"Ahem, hello new passenger, I'm Pom-Pom, the Conductor of the Astral Express."
Dong Tian immediately withdrew his hands, which had been itching to move, and smiled, "Oh, it's the Conductor. It's a pleasure to meet you, Conductor."
Pom-Pom nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with Dong Tian's attitude. After explaining some more precautions for the train to Dong Tian, Pom-Pom left.
Pom-Pom had just left when Dong Tian rubbed his forehead. What kind of strange rules were these?
No stealing Pom-Pom's favorite Pom Pom Pie, no connecting the shower wiring to the engine room without permission, no feeding the plants with strange, unknown substances, and no putting strange things in the Conductor's water cup...
All sorts of strange rules. He used to be a manager of a large organization. Since the Conductor listed so many bizarre rules, it's quite obvious that someone on the train has done these things.
Dong Tian rubbed his temples, and he could most likely guess who was behind it all.
Somewhere on the train, Akivili sneezed, nearly dropping the cleansing plant he had found in a Trailblaze world.
"Phew, thank goodness, nothing got lost."
This thing was something Akivili took with him when Trailblaze a few worlds on his way back with Dong Tian.
This thing has an extremely strong cleaning ability; it can remove even the dirtiest things. So, a new idea popped into Akivili's mind.
He's going to throw this thing down the toilet and let it go down the toilet... hehehe.
However, Akivili's "great undertaking" was not yet completed when he was discovered by the Conductor who was searching for him everywhere.
When Pom-Pom saw what Akivili was holding, she was completely petrified; she recognized it.
If Akivili were to actually throw this stuff down the toilet, the entire Astral Express would be evenly smeared with indescribable matter. Absolutely not!
So Pom-Pom threw down the mop she was holding and pulled out a huge, buzzing chainsaw.
Upon seeing such a large chainsaw, Akivili's body visibly trembled, and the plant in his hand slipped and fell into the toilet of the carriage.
Then, the carriage began to shake. Dong Tian, who was outside the carriage, noticed something was wrong. In the next instant, the power in his hand flowed, and the train was fixed in place. Without hesitation, Dong Tian rushed into the train, picked up Pom-Pom, and pulled her out.
Seeing this, Akivili realized what was happening and disappeared from where she was. The next moment, she appeared next to Duolike outside the carriage, and Dong Tian also ran out with Pom-Pom.
The next moment, the area surrounding the train disappeared, and the train returned to silence after a jolt, but what followed was a pungent stench.
" Akivili!"
