Chapter 594

~8 min read 1,455 words

Of course, except for Bai Xuan.

From the moment he obtained "Omniscience," this world was already completely transparent to him.

Even if he abandoned all other powers and returned to the ranks of mortals, he could rely on this single power to wander the world and seize everything he wanted.

Power, wealth, love... or anything else.

As for now, Bai Xuan was considering how to pull a stunt on the Lord "Phantylia."

Under the premise of not directly revealing that he is the Foundation Administrator.

The safest choice is to ask "Aha" for a bit of power, disguise himself as an Emanator of "Elation," and then join forces with Jing Yuan to fight "Phantylia."

However, since he had already called "Aha" over, it might be better to just let this prankster pull the stunt; the effect should be quite good too.

As for the "Engine of Creation," it wouldn't be of much use in the short term, unless he found a way to add some super-robot settings to them and smash them fiercely into "Phantylia" with a drill that pierces the heavens.

If that really doesn't work, he could arrange for the Foundation's fleet to patrol the star sea, "coincidentally" encounter the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou, and initiate a friendly visit lasting several days.

Or, he could just let Seeing Dan Heng ascend on the spot, inherit the power of "Permanence," and become the new generation Aeon of "Permanence."

In short, wanting to manipulate a mere Emanator of "Destruction" couldn't be simpler.

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, March 7th finally spoke to break the silence:

"What is this? Coming to ask for help, but not explaining things clearly."

Pom-Pom also complained in a low voice immediately after:

"Kafka... hmm, Pom-Pom doesn't like her, she has a dangerous scent."

"However, Passenger Bai Xuan, if you are going to the Xianzhou, don't forget to take more photos and bring them back; Pom-Pom also wants to know what the inside of the Xianzhou looks like."

"How does that sound like an empty-nester?" March 7th scratched her head.

Pom-Pom immediately became puffed up with anger, and just as it was about to protest, it was fueled even higher by a single sentence from "Stelle."

"Empty-nest old Pom, empty-nest old Pom."

"!!!" Pom-Pom almost jumped up, reaching nearly to Bai Xuan's waist, "Pom-Pom is very angry, no breakfast for you tomorrow!"

Bai Xuan could only smile broadly, soothing this furry, soft conductor.

Once the anger had mostly dissipated, Pom-Pom looked back at "Stelle":

"However, the path and goals of the Trailblazer must be chosen by the Trailblazer themselves."

"This is the creed of Lord Akivili."

And on the side, Welt Yang was still painstakingly analyzing Kafka's words, combining them with his knowledge of the Xianzhou, trying to peel back the layers and restore the truth of the entire event.

"The powerful Xianzhou Alliance, how could it be breached by a 'Stellaron'..."

Bai Xuan expressed understanding of Welt Yang's doubts.

But if Uncle Yang had lived in his world and known about a great power called the "Unbreakable Alliance," he probably wouldn't have such great doubts.

A sturdy fortress is most easily breached from within, and for a force like the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou, where internal factions are also intricate.

It is the same principle.

After all, within the Xianzhou, besides traditional conflicts, there also exists a conflict called lifespan.

Short-lived species pursue longevity, long-lived species pursue immortality, yet the true "Permanence" has already fallen.

This world, in a sense, is still quite interesting.

March 7th asked curiously:

"Is the Xianzhou Alliance very powerful?"

Welt Yang nodded, his brows still tightly locked,

"There is something suspicious."

"The Xianzhou Alliance is one of the few factions that draws power directly from an Aeon; their strength is extremely powerful, far exceeding the train under the protection of the departed 'Akivili'."

"Stars scattered in the galaxy would be crushed by the crisis of a 'Stellaron,' but the Xianzhou has 'Lan' of the 'Hunt'; I don't think a 'Stellaron' would be any trouble in the eyes of an Aeon..."

"The Stellaron Hunters are lying, or... there is a greater threat hidden on the 'Luo Fu' Xianzhou..."

"The matter is of great importance; I must participate in this operation as well."

Among the many Aeons, "Lan" is not considered to be in the top tier—their Path concept of "The Hunt" is relatively narrow.

However, unlike the vast majority of Aeons, this existence is very concerned about mortals, almost unreservedly handing power to the Xianzhou Alliance.

The Marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance, as well as the six Generals, are all Emanators of "The Hunt."

From the perspective of animal chess, they are all powerhouses no weaker than the "Lord Ravagers" under the command of "Destruction."

What's more, thanks to "Lan's" concern for mortals, it is even possible for them to personally descend when the Xianzhou Alliance is in distress to resolve the great enemy the Xianzhou must face.

Analyzing from this perspective.

A mere "Stellaron," how could it pose a threat to a behemoth like the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou?

Either the "Stellaron Hunters" are weaving lies, giving them false coordinates to make them run for nothing.

But this is an act of "Elation," which doesn't seem like something Elio would do.

Or, there really are unstable factors within the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou that would lead to a monstrous catastrophe if the "Stellaron" were detonated.

Moreover, such a catastrophe would exceed the limits of an Emanator's power.

If that were the case, then the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou would undoubtedly be in trouble.

Bai Xuan nodded and asked:

"Should we go tell Seeing Dan Heng?"

"Although his past on the 'Luo Fu' Xianzhou is heavy, it is, after all, his hometown."

"Hmm, Bai Xuan, go fetch Seeing Dan Heng." Himeko, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, then looked at "Stelle": "This time Kafka appeared, she didn't mention anything related to you at all."

"Maybe it was intentional." March 7th guessed, "Or, she simply felt that with Little Bai involved, it's better for her not to talk nonsense?"

"Hard to say." Himeko walked slowly toward the porthole, supporting the edge with both hands, overlooking the reviving Jarilo-VI.

In that ancient fortress, the Silvermane Guard patrol units should have finished their shift change, and the automatons would be making clicking sounds.

She even saw several figures taller than mountains, using their massive torsos to level mountains and fill in ravines.

An ancient civilization, after suffering, radiated the brilliance of rebirth.

So, why would the "Stellaron Hunters" approach the "Astral Express" at this time?

Not earlier, not later.

Because Elio "saw" the time point of the train crew's meeting?

And why would they specifically ask the "Astral Express" for help?

Is it because of "Stelle"? Or because of Bai Xuan? Or because of the "Nameless" that the train represents?

Himeko shook her head and looked at "Stelle" again:

"The 'Stellaron Hunters' stuffed a 'Stellaron' into your body; this action must have a long-term intention."

"Everyone says Elio can foresee the future, and every step of his planning is foreshadowing,"

"You must be extra careful, 'Stelle.' Kafka will not ignore you forever."

Meanwhile, in the passenger cabin.

"... the above is what just happened."

After recounting how the route meeting was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Kafka, Kafka revealing that the Xianzhou was in trouble and requesting the "Astral Express" to go help, and the matter of rescuing Blade.

Bai Xuan turned his head slightly, no longer looking at Seeing Dan Heng, but gazing into the dark and lonely void of the universe.

His gaze crossed several light-years, watching the rebellion currently taking place within the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou.

"I understand." Seeing Dan Heng's tone was calm.

He slowly raised his head, a faint smile suddenly appearing on his face:

"I was once chased by a more distant past, wandering in the galaxy, with no fixed place to live..."

"If this time, they are really coming for me, I won't continue to run away... some things, leaving them to the present, is always better than leaving them to the future."

"But you also know, if it were going to other Xianzhou, it might be fine... but I have been forbidden from stepping into the Luo Fu, 'Wherever the law governs, one shall not tread'."

"So, I probably won't be able to act with you all, lest I implicate you."

Looking at Seeing Dan Heng's face, which had become serious once again, Bai Xuan smiled casually:

"Relax, relax."

"Things aren't as serious as you think yet."

"... And, this is also your opportunity, isn't it?"

"The opportunity to completely sever the past and complete a rebirth." ===== CHAPTER 596 =====
