Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 660: Leaving Station Forty-Six

"What is this place?"

"The people of the Royal Court say this is where the great gods were born."

"But haven't the gods already..."

A squad of elves entered this labyrinth domain beneath the Royal Court, a place few knew existed.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. What if the Temple people hear us?"

"What's there to be afraid of? There's no one else here. Those Royal Court people wouldn't dare take on this dangerous job anyway—they're too busy fighting over the throne right now."

"That's... true..."

Among the group of five, the more cautious elven youth scratched his head, as if opening a floodgate of words:

"Hey, did you hear? The Fifth Princess of the Four Sacred Temples has brought people back too. Do you think she can really inherit the Queen's position?"

"Huh? But she's just a commoner..."

"The Crown recognized her. Besides, what's wrong with commoners? The Seventh Princess voluntarily gave her inheritance rights to her. That was during the only moment of clarity the Seventh Princess had before her madness consumed her."

"Uh... Are you sure Sister Grace didn't..."

"Shh. Everyone pretty much knows what happened, so don't say it out loud. Anyway, the commoners all support Miss Grace now. The Royal Court's forces were devastated by the goblins, and even many legion commanders from commoner backgrounds are backing her. What does truth or lies matter anymore?"

"Fair enough. But speaking of which, why did the goblins suddenly disappear? It's so strange..."

The same elven youth scratched his head in confusion while organizing his equipment for entering the labyrinth.

Not far from him, a tall, burly elf raised a hand and slapped his back.

"I know about this. The Fifth Princess summoned a Hero from another world. That Hero single-handedly wiped out every single goblin. Tsk tsk tsk, I heard the roar from the main battlefield turned a vast forest into permanent scorched earth—even magic probably can't restore it."

"A Hero, huh... If only I could become a Hero too."

"Haha, aren't we acting like Heroes by entering this labyrinth? Come on, let's go. Let's go inside and see what's really in there."

The group of five entered the labyrinth.

They didn't notice.

Just a short distance away, a human stood there, watching them enter the labyrinth until they vanished from sight.

"Hmm... Well, it seems Miss Grace has already made her choice."

"Master, aren't you going to pay a visit?"

Lisette, standing beside him, asked softly.

"No need. I've already gotten what I needed. It's time for us to leave."

The train pulled away from the Matrix.

Before boarding the train,

Ye Qiyan took one last look at the withered Tree of Life.

Thoughtful.

He snapped his fingers.

Inside the Nether Moon Garden,

A rarely used Card Sequence flew directly into his palm.

[Disaster Card · New Green World]

[New Green: Demon Nurturing]

[Calamity: Growth]

This Disaster Card could give birth to plant demons.

And until now, the only demon spirit born from it was Mingming.

"A dead tree—I wonder if it can still come back to life. Let me do a little experiment."

[New Green: Demon Nurturing]

A drop of green light entered the tree.

The space trembled again.

But this time, the tremor didn't just affect the Elven Royal Court—the entire world felt it.

Fortunately, it didn't last long—just a few seconds.

Yet the tree showed no signs of giving birth to a demon spirit, nor any signs of revival.

It was dead.

Completely and utterly dead.

"Well, experiment failed."

Ye Qiyan shook his head, not particularly bothered. After all, he had only wanted to try.

Just as he was about to board the train, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

[*...&]

What was that sound?

[%*... Leave...]

A weak voice, as if it could shatter at any moment, reached his ears.

[Please...]

The voice grew clearer.

[Save... it...]

[Take... it... away...]

Behind Ye Qiyan, a tiny sprout broke through the soil.

It bloomed, then withered. From its pistil, a platinum-white speck of light floated before Ye Qiyan.

[Please... you...]

The voice vanished.

The tree at the heart of the labyrinth collapsed completely.

Ye Qiyan stared at the speck of light. Mingming, who had been staying in the Nether Moon Garden, suddenly flew out joyfully and cradled the speck in her arms.

"Tinkling~~"

The ethereal, melodious sound carried pure joy.

It was the same joy a little girl felt when she received her favorite candy.

[A Tree Seed (?)]

[A seed brought from another world by a branch of the Tree of Life. Through endless ages of watering and baptism, it never took root or sprouted. Yet from its scattered power, a lowly existence named [Elven God] was born.]

[It has no value in itself, for this is a seed that has already died.]

"Tinkling~~~!"

Mingming held the seed, affectionately came to Ye Qiyan's shoulder, stood on tiptoe, and rubbed her face against his cheek.

That was her way of begging.

Begging her master to let her keep the seed.

"A seed that's already dead, huh? Take it. Maybe it'll come in handy someday."

"Tinkling~~"

With permission granted, Mingming happily returned to her garden.

Ye Qiyan smiled helplessly, boarded the train, and closed the door.

"Time to leave the station."

The moment the Goblin Legion Commander died,

He had already fulfilled the conditions to leave this station.

Toot!!

The piercing whistle of the steam horn rang out through the space.

The squad of five elves turned to look.

But they saw nothing.

The train moved on.

"Being a Hero every now and then isn't so bad."

That was Ye Qiyan's most genuine thought during this station.

When the train returned to the Wasteland, the system broadcast sounded once more.

[Congratulations, you have completed your forty-sixth station.]

[Completed the triggered hidden quest: No Need for Gods]

[Destroyed the Elven God's resurrection ritual, eliminating it completely.]

[Because your [Ingenuity · Divine Core Overseer] prevents the elven race from giving birth to another False God, this hidden quest exceeded the system's expected completion level.]

[Reward issued: Praying Moon (Level 9)]

"So that was the mission. Good thing I had WALL-E, otherwise I never would have found it."

Ye Qiyan chuckled. But the broadcast didn't stop as usual.

[Ding dong, [The Lightless Platinum Forest] has gained a new Ascension opportunity. You have become the witness of this world's Ascension, and without the need for a [False God's] power, this world will automatically Ascend to a Level 10 Station World in the near future.]

[Ding dong, you have gained a special authority.]

[The Lightless Platinum Forest]

[You have obtained the permanent coordinates of this station. You may choose to enter this station from the Wasteland at any time.]

[Moreover, you can freely set the time flow of this station world.]

[Note: The system recommends adjusting this station's time flow to match the Wasteland. The Wasteland will provide it protection. Additionally, when you enter this world, no False God can influence it.]

[Perhaps this world already belongs to you.]

[System's additional advice: "Do not choose to stagnate just because you have obtained control over a world!"]
