Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 273 Treasure: So the Invitation Was...

Will Pinocconi do as they wish?

After experiencing the loss of friends, betrayal by family, separation from his last close friend, being separated from the Star Train, and wandering aimlessly, he alone watches over the final destination of the departed...

Tirnan thought he would never hear from Mikhail and Pinocchio again.

But fate eventually brought him some reward for his tumultuous life.

A god from the future faced his past self and told him that Pinocchio was good, that their efforts had not been in vain, that at least, at least, people still remembered them, and that people were still willing to fight for their ideals.

Unbeknownst to them, the black mist that had enveloped him had dissipated, and the tall, handsome cowboy looked at Yun Zhi with a smile.

"Thank you, True Lord."

The cowboy adjusted his signature hat: "Thank you for telling me all this. I think I have no regrets."

No regrets?

Maybe not.

But over the years, my biggest obsession has been my second hometown, and I may also miss the carefree days on the train.

Now he knows that the Star Train has set sail again, and Pinocchio is getting better and better.

That breath suddenly dissipated.

Huang Quan knew that Tirnan was preparing to leave.

He left from the void.

"Miss, thank you for watching over me, the deceased. I've caused you a lot of trouble..."

Huang Quan shook his head: "This is my duty. I must watch over every soul that has fallen into the void and return to another world."

"Walking on a path of nothingness, are we destined to watch over and watch over our departure from 'nothingness'?"

Tirnan's figure had begun to dissipate.

Amidst the twinkling starlight, he asked:

"Can you tell me your name?"

Huang Quan's eyes widened slightly.

She seemed to smile briefly, but it was barely perceptible.

"There are some things I find hard to recall, but there are also some things I can't forget..."

"That was the starting point of my journey, the red origin of my life, the most intense and passionate thing in every storm, that is my name..."

"Lightning. Guardian of the River of Oblivion. Mei".

Tirnan repeated it to himself.

"Raiden. Forgotten River Guardian. Mei, a beautiful name. Don't forget your own name, then, in the [Void], you will always have an anchor point for yourself."

"Thank you again for watching over me until the end."

Farewell.

As Tirnan finished speaking, his figure finally turned into firefly-like sparks and disappeared.

So, he's... become a Buddha?

The rain stopped sometime ago.

The sky cleared up.

Huang Quan bowed his head and silently mourned for Tirnan for a moment.

"I'm leaving now. Is True Lord also going back?"

She folded her umbrella.

Yun shook her head: "I'll wait here a little longer."

There are still very important things to do.

Huang Quan thought for a moment and then took out a bullet.

"This was given to me by Tiernan a long time ago. Since it is a relic of the [Hunting], it should be given to you as well."

Yunzhi refused: "You can take it. If he gives it to you, it's yours."

It might come in handy later.

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence.

Huang Quan bowed slightly and then left.

Only after watching her figure disappear from sight did Yunzhi let out a sigh.

"I knew it... it wasn't an invitation sent by any Heavenly Lord in the first place."

"You're quite the actor; I never suspected you at all."

A familiar figure emerged from behind the rocks.

The clouds seem to be smiling as they turn their heads.

"So you sent me the invitation—"

"Storm."

----------------

Meanwhile, the future of Pinoconi—

Yun left through the passage opened by the invitation; it was a person leaving, not a soul transmigrating.

It's been said that bullets can travel through time and space, so without a doubt, arrows can too.

March 7th looked at the music box with curiosity:

Who exactly sent the invitation?

The invitation wasn't sent by someone from the "family." When Gallagher sent the invitation, he should have also sent it to the Immortal Boat Alliance.

Sent specifically to Yunzhi...

She thought that Gallagher probably wouldn't be that exaggerated.

Xing rested her chin on her hand.

"Zhi also said it wasn't sent by any star god..."

What were Yunzhi's original words again?

Oh, it wasn't sent by any heavenly ruler.

It wasn't any Heavenly Emperor...

Heavenly Emperor...

Huh?

Xing silently glanced at Lan to the side.

—Not the Heavenly Emperor…

Xing's gaze was so intense that everyone around her turned to look at Lan.

Lan remained calm.

"That's right."

He clasped his hands:

"I was the one who sent out that invitation."

"Why?"

The exclamations of surprise from the train crew reached my ears.

Lan Zihao, hands on hips for a moment.

star:……

I knew it!

Not the Heavenly Emperor...

It could also be the God of Fate!

The Amber King would never resort to such tactics. Although He might occasionally go and enjoy the fun, He spent most of His time building walls.

Why did you mail it to them?

Himeko was puzzled.

Given their relationship, couldn't they just give it to each other in person?

Lan clenched her fist and pressed it to her lips, then coughed lightly.

"then……"

At the time, I really didn't think that much about it.

At that time, Yun had been away from Him for a long time and was flying solo. Although they kept in touch often, he still felt a little unaccustomed to it.

One day, Lan heard that the Sea Patrol Knight had successfully assassinated the Great Lord of Annihilation, so she decided to go and see for herself.

Then he met Tirnan, who was alone guarding the fallen heroes.

But I do think of the brothers who once fought alongside me.

One by one, they disappeared in the end.

Lan didn't know where his personal guards had gone after he was imprisoned, but he knew they wouldn't be doing well.

In the end, however, He never had the chance to tell them that He had become a god and that the alliance had improved.

Tirnan... an unknown guest turned away by his adopted homeland...

Even though Lan could intuitively see the future, she didn't want to comfort him with vague and unrealistic words.

It would be better to...

Lan actually wanted to see what the future of the clouds would look like.

So, using her intuition to foresee everything that would happen to Pinocchio in the future, Arashi created a fake invitation.

The workmanship is a bit rough, but it's fine and it works.

Then, they found a planet with an immortal species and sent it there.

With a well-set timeline, after many years of twists and turns, it finally reached Yun Zhi's hands at the right time.

After sending out the invitation, Lan returned to that planet.

At some point, a [Void] Fate Walker appeared beside Tirnan.

And what He wanted to see, the future, is also here.

"The invitation I sent out was the 'cause,' and the journey through time and space was the 'effect.'"

Lan said, "If I don't send that thing out, I won't be able to go back to the past."

He acknowledged that a significant portion of his thoughts were focused on seeing the future.

But He also showed the hopeless cowboy the future of his homeland, didn't He?

He is still kind.
