Chapter 450: with translation of chapter title

"Their names are carved on the stele, which also means..."

But we must preserve the original Chinese quotes? The source lines include 「」 quotes. Should we keep them? The instruction: translate faithfully, never skip, summarise, or merge paragraphs. It doesn't say to remove quotation marks. Usually we translate the content, but we could keep the quotation marks as part of the translation? The source includes 「」 which are Chinese quotation marks. In English translation, we would normally use English quotes. But the instruction says "translate faithfully — never skip, summarise, or merge paragraphs." It doesn't explicitly say to keep the Chinese punctuation. However, they said "Output 【N】 for EVERY line listed below — all 45 must appear. Keep each translation on a SINGLE output line." They didn't say to keep the original punctuation. Usually we translate the meaning, using appropriate English punctuation. I'd output English sentences with proper punctuation, not retaining 「」. But we need to ensure we don't add or omit information. The Chinese quotes are just delimiters; translating them as English quotes is fine. We'll use English double quotes.

We must also preserve line breaks: each 【N】 line alone.

Now translate each.

Let's go line by line.

【1】 => item 1

(comment) not an item? Actually line 【13】 is a comment about translation, not an item to translate. So ignore.

But we need to preserve the trailing ellipsis? The Chinese ends with 「……」 i. e., an ellipsis. We'll include ellipsis.

Thus: 【1】 "Their names are carved on the stele, which also means..."

But we need to include the ellipsis at end: "...", maybe three dots. We'll put "...", but we need to match. We'll output: 【1】 "Their names are carved on the stele, which also means..." (with three dots). Good.

=> item 20

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【2】 Ji Zi nodded: "According to Mr. Mika, they died long ago."

But we need to keep the colon and quotes? We'll output: 【2】 Ji Zi nodded: "According to Mr. Mika, they died long ago."

=> item 26

(comment) ignore.

Thus: "Lazhalina died in the Independence War. To clarify the flow of recollection, she piloted a shuttle alone into the heart of the star system and never returned." Mika looked at another monument: "Tiernan was a cowboy skilled with firearms, strong and reliable; he led you through the brutal foreign war, but he couldn't hold out until true peace arrived."

Lazarina was sacrificed in the independence war. To clarify the flow of memory substance, she piloted a shuttle alone deep into the galactic center and never returned...

Thus: 【3】 "Lazhalina died in the Independence War. To clarify the flow of recollection, she piloted a shuttle alone into the heart of the star system and never returned..." Mika looked at another monument: "Tiernan was a cowboy skilled with firearms, strong and reliable; he led you through the brutal foreign war, but he couldn't hold out until true peace arrived."

Check punctuation: We'll keep quotes around speech? The Chinese had 「」 around each speech. We'll use English quotes.

Thus: 【3】 "Lazhalina died in the Independence War. To clarify the flow of recollection, she piloted a shuttle alone into the heart of the star system and never returned..." Mika looked at another monument: "Tiernan was a cowboy skilled with firearms, strong and reliable; he led you through the brutal foreign war, but he couldn't hold out until true peace arrived."

=> item 38

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【4】 "In the ten years after the war, Pinokangni fell into internal and external troubles. For Asadena, Tiernan took up the path of pioneering again, leading the moth clan to explore beyond the star system, only to be surrounded by insect swarms… the entire army was wiped out."

Surrounding...

Thus: 【4】 "In the ten years after the war, Pinokangni fell into internal and external troubles. For Asadena, Tiernan took up the path of pioneering again, leading the moth clan to explore beyond the star system, only to be surrounded by insect swarms… the entire army was wiped out."

=> item 46

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【5】 Sanyue Qi lowered her eyes: "Although I had expected it in my heart, the seniors' stories… are still regrettable."

=> item 50

Ji Zi: "Their whole lives were spent moving toward the unknown, worthy of the name of pioneering. But… this wordless monument is……?" We'll translate.

Thus: 【6】 Ji Zi: "Their whole lives were spent moving toward the unknown, worthy of the name of pioneering. But… this wordless monument is……?"

=> item 54

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【7】 "When Liúmèng Jiāo was born, his master was still alive. But that person insisted, 'There must come such a day,' and forcibly had a wordless stele erected for himself."

——

This line is just a separator? The line contains "——". We need to output translation. It's just an em dash? Probably we keep as is? The instruction: translate faithfully. The source line is "——". That's punctuation, no meaning. We should output the same? Probably we output "——". But we need to keep 【8】 line. So output: 【8】 ——

=> item 60

This is "DC Universe." We translate: "DC Universe." Keep period. So 【9】 DC Universe.

=> item 62

(comment) ignore.

=> item 64

Translation: "Could he still be alive?" So 【11】 "Could he still be alive?"

=> item 66

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【12】 Lu Yisi showed a confused expression, hearing what Mr. Mika meant, this pioneer is still active in Pinokangni.

Louise showed a confused expression; hearing what Mr. Mika meant, this pioneer remains active in Pinokangni.

We'll output: 【12】 Lu Yisi showed a confused expression; hearing what Mr. Mika meant, this pioneer is still active in Pinokangni.

=> item 74

(comment) ignore.

=> item 76

(comment) ignore.

Thus translation: "Although there are many life-extending technologies in the universe, almost all are related to money and technology, and ordinary people cannot enjoy them." Lu Yisi leaned over, playing the previously recorded video of the Dream Master for him: "Look…… even the Dream Master's body would dissipate; without the aid of harmony, he would have died long ago." Ke Lace stopped typing, sighed helplessly, "If we put your guess in tomorrow's Planet Daily Pinokangni column, readers would surely curse us. No way it could be possible."

We need to keep quotes: The Chinese had 「」 around speech. We'll use English quotes.

Thus: 【14】 "Although there are many life-extending technologies in the universe, almost all are related to money and technology, and ordinary people cannot enjoy them." Lu Yisi leaned over, playing the previously recorded video of the Dream Master for him: "Look…… even the Dream Master's body would dissipate; without the aid of harmony, he would have died long ago." Ke Lace stopped typing, sighed helplessly, "If we put your guess in tomorrow's Planet Daily Pinokangni column, readers would surely curse us. No way it could be possible."

Check punctuation: We'll keep ellipsis.

=> item 86

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【15】 "My conclusion is…… even if Lagewoke is not the Dream Master, he is still someone closely tied to the family."

=> item 90

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【16】 "Could he be related to the first-generation watchmaker? Or…… he himself is the first-generation watchmaker." Ke Lace said.

=> item 94

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【17】 "Have you forgotten what Jia La He said? The watchmaker is a group, and the watchmaker himself has also undergone replacement. It is more like a spiritual inheritance or a symbol, not a living person."

=> item 98

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【18】 Lu Yisi held her forehead, unable to figure it out no matter how she thought: "Clearly the train crew has already arrived at Liúmèng Jiāo, yet even now this pioneer senior remains hidden behind the scenes…… Is there some reason he cannot show himself?"

Louise held her forehead, unable to figure it out no matter how she thought: "Obviously the train crew has already arrived at Liúmèng Jiāo, yet even now, this pioneer senior remains hidden behind the scenes…… Does he have some reason he can't show himself?"

=> item 103

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【20】 Jia La He brought Xingqiri and successfully found the train crew; Xingqiri also finally got to see her younger sister again as wished.

=> item 107

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【21】 Jia La He called the train crew to one side: "I promised to give that brother‑and‑sister pair some private space; let's talk about our matters first—what do you all think?"

=> item 111

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【22】 Waerte looked around and saw that star core hunters, the Stellar Express, and the family heads had gathered here, guessing that he had something important to declare.

=> item 115

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【23】 "Hahaha, Mr. Waerte is right—it's indeed time to be open and honest." Jia La He laughed heartily twice, "Before we begin, let me reintroduce myself—the founder of Liúmèng Jiāo, the deputy of the 【watchmaker】, and also the one who sent out that invitation…… 【fictitious historian】 Jia La He, greetings to all."

=> item 119

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【24】 Sanyue Qi widened her eyes: "Well done, fictitious historian—so all that you told us before was just made up, huh?"

=> item 123

Thus: 【25】 "I can guarantee this— the stories I told you earlier are all true… uh, mostly, except for the part about 'the family re‑accepting me.'"

=> item 127

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【26】 "You must all be wondering why I went to such trouble to set up an inheritance contest, sending invitations to so many factions and throwing Pinokangni into chaos…… The answer is actually simple, and you're all very familiar with it—the root of everything…… is the 【Star Core】."

"You all must be wondering why I went to such trouble to set up an inheritance battle, sending invitations to so many factions, stirring up Pinokangni into chaos…… The answer is actually simple, and you're all very familiar with it: the source of everything… is the Stellar Core."

=> item 132

Translation: "Death God." Or "God of Death". Usually "Death God". We'll output: 【28】 Death God.

=> item 134

Translation: "Huh? Star Core? Why is there Star Core everywhere?" We'll keep.

Thus: 【29】 "Huh? Star Core? Why is there Star Core everywhere?"

=> item 138

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【30】 On the table lay two chilled beers; Ye Yi sat with her legs up on the sofa, and upon hearing the two words "Star Core," she immediately sprang up from her reclined position, "Starting from the space station…… every place I've been to has Star Core; I finally managed to take a break and go on vacation, only to find even the resort has Star Core!"

=> item 142

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【31】 "Oh dear, Miss Ye Yi, don't rush~ maybe Mr. Jia La He is deceiving you."

=> item 146

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【32】 Pu Yuan's fan unfolded with a "whoosh," covering the lower half of his face and revealing only his mischievous eyes: "Look, compare Pinokangni with Xianzhou and Bei Luoboge—compared to Xianzhou's divine tree rebirth and Bei Luoboge's icy snowland, Pinokangni is simply too harmonious, so harmonious it doesn't look at all like it's been contaminated by Star Core."

=> item 150

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【33】 "So Pu Yuan, you mean…… Jia La He is still deceiving?"

=> item 154

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【34】 "He is a fictitious historian; the most important part of that title is the first two words. He may not be lying outright, but I'm more inclined to think he's concealing some truth."

=> item 158

Translation: "Huh? What do you mean?" So: 【35】 "Huh? What do you mean?"

=> item 160

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【36】 "Miss Ye Yi, do you still remember the research data Xingqiri promised to Mr. Laatio? That's exactly about the Star Core." Pu Yuan Xizhu's smile deepened: "If there were no Star Core, the family naturally wouldn't have this data. So I believe Pinokangni indeed has a Star Core, but its eruption intensity is far weaker than that of Xianzhou and Bei Luoboge."

=> item 164

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【37】 "Could it be someone with ulterior motives manipulating things behind the scenes?" Ye Yi recalled the Xianzhou's Huanlong back then—the divine tree born from the Star Core could radiate throughout the entire Xianzhou; if it weren't for Huanlong's rush to succeed, perhaps General Jing Yuan would have fallen there.

=> item 168

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【38】 "Manipulating Star Core…… ordinary humans can't do that, right? This isn't something like Bengyu—once out of control, it could affect an entire planet. If it's the family, why would they do that?"

"Manipulating a Stellar Core…… ordinary people couldn't do that, right? This isn't something like a Broken Jade; once it loses control, it could affect an entire planet. If it's a family, why would they do that?"

=> item 173

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【40】 "Waerte furrowed his brow: 'Star Core? Pinokangni is smooth sailing, a four‑way, eight‑direction interstellar hub, and there's no sign of contamination whatsoever—how could it be related to Star Core?'"

=> item 177

Thus: 【41】 "You're absolutely right, so let's guess what that might mean."

=> item 179

Thus: 【42】 '"Someone is manipulating the Star Core?" Xing immediately replied.'

=> item 182

(comment) ignore.

Thus: 【43】 Jia La He couldn't help but praise: "Very perceptive. What I mean is, no one here knows Star Core better than you." Jia La He continued explaining, "Beautiful Dreams don't appear out of thin air. If we liken the Recollection Realm to a sea, establishing a dream‑filled land is like filling soil to create land in a turbulent ocean."

=> item 186

=> item 187 (maybe comment? Actually line 【187】 is the names comment, but the Chinese line is 【186】. So item 186 is the Chinese line, item 187 is comment. So we only output for 186.)

Thus: 【44】 '"To achieve this feat, unless an envoy of 【Memory】 or 【Mystery】 steps in, the only way is to use the Star Core."'

To achieve this feat, unless an envoy of 【Memory】 or 【Mysterious】 takes action, the only way is to use the star core.
