This Zhong Mojing simply didn't realize he was talking way too much.
He was spilling everything out, even things Ye Qiyan hadn't asked about.
So then, what exactly was this Golden Age?
"You... you don't even know about this?"
"I see... You must be one of those who hid within the Station Worlds and set sail again, heh..."
"No wonder I've never heard your name before."
This old man sure loved to ramble.
Facing death, he wasn't as composed as he appeared.
Zhong Mojing was about to speak again.
In the center of the arena.
A figure shrouded in Blood Energy emerged from a door shaped like a heart.
The blood from the corpses of the dead gathered together, eventually coalescing into a spiral-shaped long spike.
The newcomer looked at Ye Qiyan, the characteristic pale face of the vampires brimming with arrogance.
"I am a Vampire Duke..."
However.
"How noisy."
Vampires, the biggest difference between them and other Train Conductors for Ye Qiyan was.
Their sins were exceptionally heavy.

Clatter—
The Vampire Duke, who hadn't even finished saying his name, suddenly realized he could no longer make a sound.
Invisible chains from nowhere forced him to be pinned motionless in mid-air.
He saw it, the gun in the hands of that black-haired young human man.
The muzzle wasn't large, it was far away, yet it seemed to point directly between his brows.
The bullet chambered, the trigger whispered.
One shot, pierces the soul.
[Judgment·Verdict·His Sin, Deserves Death!]
BANG!!!
Black and white, two opposing colors pierced through the Vampire Duke's chest.
His heart evaporated, his body plummeted.
"Caw, caw!"
The Demon Ravens let out their mournful cries.
In this eerie silence, it sounded strangely beautiful~
Vampire Duke, an unknown fellow.
The moment he appeared.
Died an unnatural death.
Perhaps he still had plenty of other abilities.
But he just had to be a vampire, a believer in gods, a betrayer of humanity, a slaughterer, bloodthirsty, the race that, aside from gods themselves, could unleash the judgment ability to its maximum extent.
Or, to put it simply.
Vampires.
Were completely countered by Ye Qiyan.
Gulp—
Someone, who knows who, swallowed their saliva.
Everyone's gaze was drawn to where that bullet had been fired from.
Terror, fear, envy, jealousy, joy, shock...
Countless emotions intertwined in the air.
After today, his Bounty Notice would have a new line added.
[Instantly killed a Vampire Duke!! Extremely dangerous!! Do not approach unless you are a top-tier Train Conductor!]
"Huff~"
[Stamina: 54 (Severe Stamina Depletion!!!)]
[Friendly Reminder: Please avoid overusing your stamina!]
Blowing out the blue smoke from the gun barrel, Ye Qiyan put away Black Ebony and curled his lip.
"Even using Plunder can't restore stamina? Tch... looks like I need to rest a bit longer."
He muttered to himself internally.
A smile reappeared on his face as he looked at Zhong Mojing, whose jaw had dropped, completely speechless.
"Don't just stand there stunned. No one's making noise now, continue."
"Where to start? Hmm, the Golden Age~"
"Tell me, what is that??"
The Demon was whispering.
Zhong Mojing swallowed a mouthful of bloody foam.
He was the closest person to Ye Qiyan, and the one who personally witnessed the other kill a Vampire Duke with a single strike.
He... needed to retract his previous words...
This Demon of the Emperor's Order... perhaps... truly had the ability to destroy Abukado.
"..."
Zhong Mojing fell silent for a moment.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
"The specifics I don't know. This information was obtained by our organization's BOSS from your 'Fate'."
"However, the significance of the Golden Age is that among this batch of Train Conductors, the number possessing talents will be several times greater than before."
"In previous years, among Train Conductors, out of ten thousand, there were at most less than five talent possessors."
"But in recent batches, the number of talent possessors has been skyrocketing."
"And the current batch will be the peak for talent possessors! Both in quality and quantity, out of ten thousand, those with talents have even reached a terrifying number of around twenty."
Twenty people...
The total number of Train Conductors per batch is one hundred eighty million. So if we calculate based on these twenty...
Over three hundred sixty thousand talent possessors?
Ye Qiyan suddenly felt that something like talent didn't seem so valuable anymore.
No...
He shook his head internally.
A quick calculation wasn't hard to figure out.
The ratio of talent possessors to the total population was a mere 0.002%.
"Not only are there more people with talents, but the difficulty of Station Worlds is also gradually increasing. More Station Worlds that have never appeared before are being released by the Wasteland."
"These new Train Conductors will face more difficult stations, more dangerous trials, more terrifying monsters, but as long as they can endure..."
Zhong Mojing didn't continue.
Because he had already said enough.
This Golden Age he spoke of would bring more talent holders into the Wasteland, but conversely, the Wasteland would also bring these people more, and stronger, Station Worlds.
And within these more powerful Station Worlds, they could obtain resources that allowed for faster leveling and quicker strength growth.
Ye Qiyan's mind flashed back to the events during the novice station period.
The train system forced Train Conductors to increase their train's speed between identical stations.
If they couldn't level up quickly, they had to purchase additional speed-boosting items or spend more resources to upgrade the wheels separately.
Over time, this vicious cycle would only cause them to fall further behind.
Conversely, it was accelerated growth under a virtuous cycle.
From the day humans entered this world, the Train and the Wasteland had already informed everyone of this world's survival rules.
"Golden Age, huh~"
Ye Qiyan shook his head and let out a derisive laugh.
"What a boring name."
"If you think the Train Conductors walking ahead will be caught up to by those who come later."
"That just means the people ahead are walking too slowly."
"Slowness, stagnation, then don't blame those who come later for surpassing you."
"Besides..."
Snap—
A crisp snap of fingers echoed in the space.
[Demon Card·Supremacy]
[Supremacy: Rule]
[Defiance × Rule]
The mark of the Demon's Skull floated on the back of his hand.
Pure evil power erupted from there, shooting towards the sky!
Evil and calamity, slowly rotating in a ring.
Ye Qiyan walked up to Zhong Mojing. His dark gold-tinted eyes cast a gaze upon this old man whose life was entering its countdown.
He, the corners of his mouth turned up.
"So-called eras are just ropes that bind people."
"If this so-called Golden Age blocks my path forward, then..."
"I'll trample it underfoot."
"Giving you one chance."
"One final question."
"Do you want to live?"
The words of the Demon's dominion, majestic and clear, entered his ears.
Ye Qiyan shook his head.
"No, that's not the question."
"It's that I will let you live."
