Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 94: The Changed Script

Afterwards, Lin Qiong told Tingyun about his and others' plan to go to the root of "Jianmu" to investigate, and hoped to get her help.

Upon learning this news, Tingyun immediately gave an affirmative response.

They offered to go with them so they could get a closer look at the magnificent Jianmu tree.

After obtaining Lin Qiong's consent, she immediately used her extensive network of connections to arrange a ferry for everyone to travel to the roots of "Jianmu".

The Immortal Ship "Luofu" is located in the Lin Yuan Realm.

"Wow! I never expected there to be an ancient ruin here!"

As the ferry slowly docked at the entrance to Lin Yuan Realm, March 7th couldn't wait and was the first to jump off the ship, excitedly looking around at everything.

"Snap—"

With a series of crisp sounds, the camera in March 7's hand flashed a dazzling white light.

She seemed to want to forever etch this rare sight onto the film of her "memory".

"By the way, why did Danheng come with us? Weren't you planning to take care of some personal matters?"

After everyone disembarked, Lin Qiong's gaze fell on Dan Heng at the end of the line, and he asked in a shocked manner.

At the same time, he tried his best to suppress the slight upturn of his lips, striving not to let his smile be too obvious.

Dan Heng's brows were furrowed, his face full of reluctance, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow along, which was quite amusing.

"...Ugh."

Faced with Lin Qiong's slightly teasing question, Dan Heng sighed helplessly, then simply closed his eyes and ignored the surrounding noise.

But at that moment, he was actually quite shocked.

After all, Lin Qiong's suggestion was exactly the same as the place he originally planned to go to.

This coincidence made Danheng fall into deep thought.

However, just then, a familiar voice came from the side, drawing everyone's attention.

"Hey everyone on the Starry Sky Train, it feels like ages since we last met! We meet again!"

The newcomer was a man dressed in gorgeous clothes with a bright smile, and beside him was a boy as sharp as a sword.

"General Jingyuan!?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with shock.

They never expected to encounter the general of "Luofu" here.

Just as everyone was filled with curiosity, Walter Yang stepped forward, bowed to Jing Yuan, and slowly asked, "I wonder why General, you have suddenly appeared here?"

His tone was full of doubt, and he seemed somewhat surprised that Jing Yuan would be here.

After all, Jing Yuan's appearance was too coincidental; it was as if he had deliberately waited for them there.

However, Jing Yuan seemed to have seen through Walter Yang's thoughts.

He chuckled softly, "Of course I'm here waiting for a surprise attack."

Upon hearing this, Walter Young raised an eyebrow, about to ask another question.

March 7th couldn't help but speak up first: "A surprise force? We don't think we saw any other Cloud Cavalry on our way here."

As she spoke, she looked around, trying to find the surprise force that Jing Yuan had mentioned.

Seeing March 7's reaction, the others in the group turned their heads away, pretending not to know her.

"My secret force may seem far away, but it's actually right under our noses!"

Jing Yuan's gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Dan Heng.

The moment his gaze met Danheng's, all the memories of the past flashed before his eyes like a movie.

At this moment, March 7, who was repeatedly chewing on the phrase "far away, yet so close at hand," suddenly pointed at himself with his eyes wide open.

"Ah! Isn't that us!?"

Finally realizing what was happening, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, a look of sudden understanding instantly appearing on her face.

After exclaiming in surprise, she touched her head with a troubled expression.

"But...why are we the surprise force?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan smiled slightly, just as he was about to explain.

He seemed to sense something was amiss, his brow furrowed slightly, and he abruptly turned to look at a large rock not far away.

"Gentlemen, since you've been eavesdropping for so long, why not show yourselves and have a chat?"

As Jing Yuan finished speaking, everyone present followed his gaze and turned to the boulder.

At the same time, a deep sound came from behind the boulder.

"Jingyuan...you're still the same as before."

As the sound rang out, Ren slowly emerged from behind the boulder, holding a broken-looking sword in his hand.

The tip of the sword dragged lightly on the sandy ground, making a soft "shush" sound.

Following him, Kafka gracefully appeared before the crowd.

Her composed demeanor suggested she was preparing for a grand banquet.

"Star Core Hunters? What are they doing here!?"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, March 7th exclaimed in a low voice.

Compared to Jing Yuan, the sudden appearance of the Star Core Hunter who had escaped from Taipusi seemed to shock her even more.

"Ok?"

When Kafka saw that all the members of the Star Train were present, she couldn't help but frown.

"The script seems to have gone astray. Could it be... him?"

She murmured to herself, her gaze falling on Lin Qiong standing in the crowd, a complex emotion in her eyes.

At that moment, she suddenly recalled what Elio had said: "That 'Star Core Carrier' who awakened by accident, his fate is like a dark fog; even I cannot fully predict its future."

This made her realize that, as someone who could also change fate, Lin Qiong might have a stronger influence than Xing in some aspects.

After all, he is stirring up the script in an unpredictable way.

Perhaps... that predetermined "end" will also change as a result.

"Kafka, release the 'bindings'."

Blade eagerly raised the shattered sword in his hand, its tip trembling slightly, pointing it directly at Dan Heng in the crowd.

His gaze toward Dan Heng now held an undisguised murderous intent, and a maniacal smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed he had already foreseen the scene of Dan Heng falling under his sword.

However, after waiting for a while, Blade did not receive Kafka's words containing the power of words, which made him frown.

"Kafka, what are you waiting for!"

His voice betrayed obvious impatience; he couldn't understand why Kafka had fallen silent at this crucial moment.

"Ah Ren, the script has changed. We should retreat."

Kafka finally spoke, and her calm words struck Blade like a thunderclap.

Upon hearing this, Ren was stunned.

He turned around abruptly, his gaze fixed on Kafka, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had heard something incredible.

"This is impossible!!"

Blade shouted, his voice filled with shock, seemingly unable to accept the fact.

In his script, this scene was originally the revenge segment he was most looking forward to.

The scene of the sword piercing Dan Heng's chest had replayed in his mind countless times.

Now, the opportunity for revenge is right in front of him, and this desire burns in his heart like a flame.

At this critical moment, Kafka demanded a retreat, which was simply unacceptable to him.

Ren stared intently at Dan Heng, gritting his teeth and growling, "He hasn't...he hasn't truly tasted the pain of 'death' yet!!"

However, at that moment, Kafka's words, imbued with the power of words, once again penetrated his heart.

"Ah Ren, listen to me, we should retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Ren's body trembled slightly, and the ferocious expression on his face gradually calmed down.

Despite his lingering resentment, he calmed down under the influence of the power of words.

“Ren, take a good look,” Kaffa’s voice rang out again. “Besides that general, the others from the Star Train are also here. You can’t ‘kill’ him.”

Only after hearing this did Ren notice.

Beside Danheng, Walter Young, carrying a cane, stared at him warily, clearly ready for battle.

Seeing this, Ren let out a deep breath, as if releasing the pent-up emotions in his heart.

"Phew... I understand. Let's retreat then."

Ren sheathed his sword and turned to leave, while Kafka gave Lin Qiong and Xing a meaningful look before also departing.

Everyone stared in the direction where Blade and Kafka had left, remaining silent for a long time, with only the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore.

Then, Jing Yuan broke the silence first. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, everyone on the Star Train, let's discuss matters concerning the 'Star Core'."

However, without anyone knowing, Tingyun disappeared silently into the crowd.
