“A rankless, ultra-despair world? Tsk tsk, the name sounds scary, a treasure trove of the Golden Tribe? Hmm...”
He stored the Key into a Storage Unit, then turned his gaze to the other golden leaf.
Venus’s Golden Leaf
A final fusion of beauty and art left in the lingering obsession of the goddess Venus, can be hung on a White Forest Fruit tree to make it grow.
It was actually a strengthening item for the White Forest Fruit.
That surprised Ye Qiyan somewhat.
If White Forest Fruit exists in this world, it’s not hard to guess it originally had ties to the Golden Tribe.
“Not bad at all.”
Ye Qiyan smiled, but didn’t rush to use the leaf. Instead, he looked toward the broken Venus statue that the Decisive demon had pulled out of the lake earlier.
He opened the black market and had Ailei find him a transparent Display Case that could compress large objects.
It wasn’t high-tier, only level five.
Ye Qiyan Sublimated the Display Case, then placed the face-broken, armless statue inside.
After a moment of hesitation,
he used the Dynamic Brush and wrote a line on it.
The Last Deity of the Golden Lineage
He didn’t know if any other Golden Tribe deities still existed.
But in Ye Qiyan’s eyes,
that frail goddess deserved that title.
“Alright, Lisette, hang it on the wall too.”
After writing the words, Ye Qiyan handed the Display Case directly to Lisette, who stood beside him.
“Mmm~ Master...”
“What’s up?”
“You’re so gentle~ Just now, you even summoned the moon~”
Lisette hugged the frame, looking at her master with adoring eyes.
Ye Qiyan didn’t comment, he reached up and patted Lisette on the head.
“It was a lie, no real loss. Give people a little hope and you can get more in return. If I hadn’t done that, I might not have had that Key or the leaf.”
“Heh, yes! Master, you’re right.”
After Lisette left,
Ye Qiyan retrieved the Eternal Night Moon Silence from the Disaster Cards back into the Void Card Repository.
He lay down on the grass, staring up at the pitch-black sky, stretched out his five fingers, and whispered to himself:
“Gods born from belief... the Wasteland really does have everything.”
He yawned and shook his head.
“After all, it’s only been fifty stations, phew... there’s still so little I know and so few adventures I’ve had.”
Ye Qiyan slowly closed his eyes.
He actually liked the environment here in the White Forest; it seemed quite suitable for a rest.
Even though he wasn’t tired at all.

Time: 04:13:03
Lisette gently shook Ye Qiyan’s arm, whispering softly in his ear with a tender voice.
“Master~ Master~ wake up~”
Ye Qiyan woke from his sleep.
The first thing he saw was the familiar face that had been blocking his view.
He moved off Lisette’s lap pillow and glanced at the pocket watch.
“It’s already two in the morning? But not yet fifteen hours.”
“Yes, one hour twelve minutes and nine seconds short, but everyone has already moved the things from the woods back.”
Right.
Around Ye Qiyan were not only Lisette.
Demons, mechs, Contract Beasts.
They were all here, quietly keeping him company.
And this White Forest now contained only the lake before him.
Both ordinary trees and the wide grasslands, and most importantly those White Forest Fruit trees, had all been taken onto the Train by the Raven demons and the Nano-Bee Swarm.
After today, this stop probably shouldn’t be called the White Forest anymore.
Because there’s no forest left.
“Pretty fast, hey. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve emptied an entire Station World, right?”
The Raven demons could’ve been even quicker,
but to avoid disturbing Ye Qiyan’s rest,
they didn’t dare use their abilities to chop down swathes of trees at once.
“Mmm~ Master, do we need to take the lake water too?”
Ye Qiyan stood at the lake’s edge, Lisette following and asking.
“No need, there’s no shortage of water in the carriage, and this water is just ordinary—at most a bit cleaner.”
He shook his head, pulled his gaze from the tranquil lake, and was about to head back to the Train when something occurred to him and he stopped.
“Oh, right... didn’t the Beacon of Memories permission say you can make a beacon for free after clearing a station? I’ve emptied the whole world, so that should count as cleared, right?”
He invoked the permission.
As he expected,
the Beacon of Memories could indeed be created.
“Though it’ll probably be useless... but might as well make it.”
A crisp snap echoed in this space.
Anchor
appeared before Ye Qiyan.
The card face fluttered in the air.
A grayish-white leaf drifted down into Ye Qiyan’s hand.
“Looks a bit different from before? Whatever, no matter. Time’s almost up, let’s go home.”
The Train was his home.
While the swarm and the mechs returned to the Train,
Ye Qiyan went to the Nether Moon Garden.
Mingming was still asleep; sensing his presence, the sleepy flower spirit floated over to his shoulder and, tilting her small body, leaned against him.
“Ding-ling-ling...”
Ye Qiyan smiled wryly and placed Mingming back into her blossom.
“Keep sleeping.”
Through the sea of flowers,
beside the White Forest Fruit tree that had always accompanied Ye Qiyan, were over a dozen ordinary White Forest Fruit trees that were noticeably smaller.
Although they were the most basic version and would even be poisonous without soaking in clean water, they were still the original goal of Ye Qiyan’s trip.
In the center of this grove,
a White Forest Fruit tree had already grown seven or eight meters tall, strengthened and Sublimated by both him and Mingming, swaying its branches in the garden’s breeze as if welcoming Ye Qiyan’s arrival.
As if expecting what would happen next.
Venus’s Golden Leaf
Since it can only strengthen one tree,
he had no other reason or interest to use it on those trees that had just been brought into the Train.
“This round’s yours, don’t let me down.”
The golden leaf adhered to the trunk.
A dazzling golden radiance instantly covered the entire White Forest Fruit tree.
The glow quickly faded.
The change in the White Forest Fruit tree was only that a few leaves turned gold.
Golden Tree in the White Forest (Level 8)
When generating White Forest Fruit with some healing effect, there is a very small chance of producing a golden-spotted fruit.
“Just that?”
Goddess Venus’s power had faded so much; her ability to strengthen a White Forest Fruit tree had probably exhausted everything she had left.
However...
“Potential increased, huh, so that means...”
Ye Qiyan pressed his palm to the trunk and grinned.
“We can Sublimate it now.”
