Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 542: Drag the Gods into the Dust【This is an object of blasphemy】
【It has existed here for endless eons, and was also studied by a race specializing in magic technology for endless eons. Ultimately, the researchers of this race found a way to forcibly draw out a portion of its untappable power, using it as the energy core for a guardian.】
【The guardian protects the cultural concepts within the research institute. Its final command was to prevent any entity from entering here until the war between this race and the gods was won.】
【It has guarded for endless eons】
【Even as its body decayed, even as its will turned to dust】
【Yet, under the power of that fragment within it, it still remembers that final command】
【You deceived it】
【The Demon's Whisper made this loyal machine believe the race it was guarding had achieved victory】
【You liberated it】
【Will you pick up this fragment?】
【If you pick it up...】
【It means declaring war against the gods】
【You will blaspheme against the divine!】
【Are you sure you want to do such a thing?!】
One after another, Light Screens materialized around Ye Qiyan.
Each one bore words filled with questioning intent.
These screens encircled him, as if trying to bind him at the center.
Words are silent speech.
And speech can be used to influence the human heart.
"Heh."
A light chuckle.
All the Light Screens vanished instantly.
The Anchor and the Judge, two Blasphemy Cards, hovered on either side of Ye Qiyan's body.
He reached out his hand towards the fragment submerged in the ashes.
Black ash lifted the fragment, and amidst a crescendo of a sonata only Ye Qiyan could hear, it fell into his palm.
The sound disappeared.
A dark red system interface appeared at this moment.
【This is an object of blasphemy】
【This object records the elegy of a race at the moment of its extinction】
【With this elegy of extinction, they convey to you the final request and anger of their civilization】
【"Unknown existence, whoever you are, and whatever race you belong to, by picking up this fragment, it means this fragment has found you."】
【"Perhaps this is fate. Even a race as powerful as ours still died by the hands of the gods."】
【"Then, master of this fragment, could we request that you drag those arrogant monsters who call themselves gods down into the dust??"】
【"No... we should not force you, nor can we force you. This is the final message. If anyone can see this, it means we have already lost the war."】
【"But..."】
This voice gradually trailed off, and after a long pause, it uttered the final sentence with a sob.
【"Please... do not trust the gods. May you... never stop... May your race endure for all eternity."】
The system's Light Screen returned to its original color.
The Train's broadcast sound was transmitted directly to Ye Qiyan's ears through the screen.
【Hidden Achievement Unlocked: Drag the Gods into the Dust】
【Current Train level is too low; achievement requirements are temporarily hidden】
【"May I ask, do you choose to accept this unlocked hidden achievement?"】
Ye Qiyan clenched the Blasphemy Card fragment in his palm.
His gaze was intensely fervent, looking at the achievement name on the screen without any hesitation.
"I already don't get along with those guys, so of course I accept unlocking it. But, you won't let me see the requirements, yet you reveal it to me early anyway. System, you really know how to torment people, huh."
【"Your Train level is too low. This is a high-tier achievement. It is normal that you cannot view its contents at present."】
"Then what level is needed?"
【"Level 50."】
"Hey, I'm only level 15 right now."
【"You have also only been advancing through the Wasteland for a few months."】
"Heh... fair point. Then there's no rush. I'll see it eventually anyway."
Ye Qiyan chuckled, opened his Storage Unit, and placed the fragment inside.
"A fragment of the third card~ Who knows how long it'll take to find the second piece."
"Forget it, no point overthinking. Let nature take its course."
He wouldn't actively search for it, nor would he expend massive effort for a mere sliver of a clue.
Just as he said.
Everything, let nature take its course.
"Hey, thanks, WALL-E. Found me another great treasure."
Patting WALL-E's metal head, Ye Qiyan sighed inwardly.
Perhaps his luck wasn't as good as Zhao Lin's.
But back at the very beginning, obtaining a little robot like WALL-E, who initially only collected trash—having that kind of luck once was already enough.
WALL-E waved its Mechanical Claw, sensing its master's happiness at finding a treasure because of it, and felt the same, if not greater, happiness itself.
Finding treasures for its master—this was its interpretation of its own reason for existence.
"Anyway, I'll get you a drumstick when we get back. Made of plasma."
"~~!"
It became even happier.
————
This Decayed laboratory had fulfilled its final mission.
Fierce flames consumed the ashes.
This Low-Level Station's flipped world completely sank into the void.
Ye Qiyan returned to the spot from which he had jumped down.
There, he saw Mo Shi, her face full of curiosity, Red Tears pressing a sword against her chest, Eve hovering in the air with her weapon slots deployed, and Lisette standing behind, blades in hand.
Surrounded by the three of them, Mo Shi waved the moment she saw Ye Qiyan land on the ground.
"Ye Qiyan, hurry up and tell your demon to put away this sword. I'm very fragile right now, as fragile as a human. If this sword stabs me, I'll die, you know."
"You're afraid of dying?"
"Of course. If I die, I'll just revert back to my original shadow form. I'd have to reshape my mouth, eyes, personality, everything all over again, and find a suitable memory vessel again. It's a real hassle.
Besides~ I intend to outlive Death itself. Once I become the most powerful Train Conductor and return to the Death Realm, I'll replace my former self. Pretty impressive, right?"
She wasn't a Clone of Death, but Death's true self. Yet, right now, she was also the human girl named Mo Shi, and still the shadowy figure representing 【Death】.
The strange concepts she was describing weren't easy to understand.
At least, Ye Qiyan didn't quite grasp them right now.
But he didn't tell Red Tears and the others to put away their weapons. Instead, he watched Mo Shi warily, one hand in his pocket, and asked:
"If you want to be a Train Conductor, this trial game is already over. You won. Go back to your Train, wait for the docking time to reach zero, and continue your own journey. Instead of coming here. What are you here for?"
Mo Shi stated matter-of-factly:
"To add a friend, of course. You weren't here just now, so I couldn't send you a face-to-face friend request. That's why I came looking for you."
