Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

This sudden message didn't sound like the System's tone at all.

Moreover, if the System wanted to hint at something to him, there was absolutely no need to make it so flashy and elaborate.

Starry night, shooting star?

Why did it feel so much like the handiwork of some charlatan?

"I'll just ask and find out."

He summoned the Light Screen, activated the Time Flow Synchronization permission, and directly sent a message to Zhu Xingshu.

["?"]

["What's up? Did you miss me, sis? Hehe."]

["What did that message mean? And, couldn't you just say it directly through the System?"]

Zhu Xingshu deliberately played dumb, but the smile on her face was something she simply couldn't suppress.

["Forget it if you won't say."]

["Hey hey hey, don't be in such a hurry, hehe. I was just afraid you wouldn't want to owe me a favor, that's why I sent the message directly to you. No need to thank me, okay? Don't worry, I used the power of the Fate Card. This doesn't count as a gift, and it won't make you owe me anything. I just paid a small, small price."]

Zhu Xingshu wiped the unstoppable blood flowing from her eyes with a tissue, tapping on the Light Screen with her blood-stained fingers.

Ye Qiyan frowned slightly, hesitating for a moment as he looked at the message returned in the private chat interface.

["What did you mean by all that?"]

["It means exactly what it says. That guy has an extremely strong collecting obsession. His favorite thing is to use a so-called [Trial] to corrupt whatever he takes a fancy to, whether it's people or objects, no matter what it is.

If you are corrupted by the Abyss, your past, present, and future will all come to an end. Your Train's level isn't high enough, and your physical and mental strength haven't reached the point where they can be greatly enhanced and refined in quality. So, don't let your spirit drop below fifty. Otherwise... I don't know if you can withstand it."]

["You seem to know the Abyss quite well?"]

["Because that guy had his eyes on me before too, and Shaya, Gina, Lin You, we were all targeted by that guy."]

["Is the Abyss... that idle?"]

["Right?! I think so too!

But actually, this should be a [Trial] faced by some very capable, high-level Train Conductors.

Brother Ye, I don't know what you did, but facing this trial now is still too early for you.

If... you have a way to escape, leave that station as soon as possible. As long as you choose to leave, it won't keep staring at you. That guy doesn't like people who run away. Once you flee, it won't keep staring at you."]

"Escape, huh?"

The Anchor flashed briefly in Ye Qiyan's hand.

"It's not time for that yet."

He wasn't a person with an overwhelmingly strong sense of honor.

If it truly reached a moment of absolutely unwinnable odds, he would choose to leave.

But that wasn't now.

Since he had come to this Station World, and those Gods and the Abyss had most likely descended here because of him.

He could leave, but at the very least, he had to try until the very last moment.

["Thank you."]

["Oh? Could you send those two words one more time?"]

["I'll help you in the next event."]

["Huh? Really? You don't have to come, you know. I used the Fate Card, so you don't owe me a favor~"]

["Not important."]

The chat ended.

Zhu Xingshu stared blankly for a moment at the words ["Not important"] sent by Ye Qiyan.

Her fingertips gently rubbed the glowing Astrolabe.

Zhu Xingshu didn't understand the meaning of this ["Not important"]. She just suddenly felt that within these three words, there was no Karma, no Fate, yet... it was incredibly precious.

After a long while, she smiled gently.

"Hehe... It seems the next event will be even more interesting than the last one. In that case..."

Twelve Light Screens materialized.

They were precisely the images of the twelve cities created by the Homeward-bound Souls.

Among them, [Hanging Gardens], [Suoluo City], and [City of Eternal Night] had turned gray and white.

Nine remained.

Zhu Xingshu's gaze lingered on [City of a Thousand Stars] for an instant before shifting away.

"This one... will be saved for last."

"For the next one... let's go with this city."

[Miranda City]

"That golden, shiny Mr. Order lives here, and also... need to pay a little attention to Abukado..."

————

Having closed the chat interface, Ye Qiyan fell into thought once again.

What he pondered wasn't the [Trial], but himself.

From the day he entered the Wasteland, his spirit had been markedly different from that of ordinary people.

Whether it was his recovery speed or his ability to ignore mental-type negative effects, both highlighted this difference.

Then... what about the Abyss's Corruption?

Could his spirit also ignore the Abyss's Corruption?

Two days later.

Outside the Blackstone Fortress.

Ye Qiyan's motorcycle stopped on a high point of a hillside as he watched the fortress in the distance being attacked by the Black Tide and a large number of Kamaitachi using wind blades.

"They've already fought their way here."

This fortress wasn't too far from the City of Bygone Days.

On the way here, every outpost and fortress Ye Qiyan passed had already fallen.

These monsters' only goals were assault and slaughter.

After capturing a city, they wouldn't linger, immediately advancing towards the next one.

Moreover, Ye Qiyan discovered that a vast amount of the water sources in this world had been contaminated by the plague.

This plague was colorless and odorless, only discernible through System identification.

Under such circumstances, it was only too reasonable that they couldn't hold out.

Ye Qiyan continued observing the surroundings and finally, at the center of a group of Kamaitachi, spotted a special individual.

He could sense the divinity emanating from that individual.

Without a doubt, that was the Kamaitachi God.

"Found you~"

Title switched to [Blasphemer Against the Gods].

The aura obtained from that past deicide instantly locked onto the Kamaitachi God.

The Kamaitachi God abruptly stood up, an inexplicable, intense anger welling up in its heart.

It looked towards Ye Qiyan's direction. The instinct of being the god of its race told it:

This human had killed other Gods before, and... more than one!?

"Is it him? Human! Choosing not to flee but to appear before me of your own volition, feeling so confident because you've killed other Gods before, hahahahaha!"

The Kamaitachi God let out a burst of maniacal laughter.

"Human! I possess the Supreme's blessing! The current you is no match for me! You will die at the hands of the great Kamaitachi God!"

The command issued, the Kamaitachi Apostles who were assaulting the Blackstone Fortress all turned their direction, charging towards Ye Qiyan on the distant hillside.

Frenzied wind blades descended from the sky.

Their mere appearance made the mountains and earth tremble.

Yet Ye Qiyan simply stood calmly in place. His heart held no fear, his eyes contained not a trace of emotion.

A dark golden card rotated in his palm.

He spoke softly.

But his voice was heard with perfect clarity by everyone.

"Anchor."

The figure on the card holding a ship's anchor raised the anchor.

Three of the five anchor light points in total turned gray and white.

A massive ring of light descended from the heavens, enveloping the Kamaitachi God, whose expression shifted from confidence to terror.

As Ye Qiyan declared once more.

"Banish."

This ring of light, carrying the utterly horrified Kamaitachi God, soared to the highest heavens and then vanished without a trace.
