Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 129 Fine Wine and Grilled Skewers, with Friends By My Side

Earth, Night

A night market food stall somewhere in northern China.

"Phew... drinking is only as good as having grilled skewers! One sip and all my fatigue disappears!" Gongsun Ming said happily, holding a beer in one hand and a skewer of grilled meat in the other. "But I really didn't expect you to go there, Brother Yu! Oh, by the way! What stage is the plot at?"

Gongsun Ming, a time traveler, a remnant of a previous civilization, assistant to the Bishop of Destiny, and a fire-chasing hero imprinted with the "Dragon Abyss".

"The plot... deviated a bit from the original storyline due to my actions, but it's still largely the same. However, we've now reached the point before heading to Pinocchio. Besides, I came here just to take you guys to join in the fun," Ye Tianyu replied.

"Oh, Pinocchio! Just talking about this makes me wide awake!" Hu Xiaoyao exclaimed in delight.

Hu Xiaoyao, a time traveler, a remnant of a previous civilization, a fire-chasing hero with the "Blood Flame" mark.

"Sigh...it's a pity, Tianxing is in Teyvat now, otherwise he could definitely come with us." Gongsun Ming took a swig of beer. "I wonder how he's doing now..."

Jiang Tianxing, a time traveler, is now in Teyvat, a fire-chasing hero with the "Tianrui" inscription.

"Hmm... it's about time. Let's go to Teyvat," Peng Hao said after thinking for a moment.

"What? Wait a minute? To Teyvat? Now? Are you sure?" Gongsun Ming asked immediately.

"Yes, right now, Teyvat is somewhere in the Sea of ​​Quanta. Tianyu and I can send you there together."

"Speaking of which, judging from the timeline... it seems like we're almost at the main storyline now, right?"

"Yes, that's the story after Fontaine," Ye Tianyu added.

"Wow, Brother Yu, is the power of your destiny that strong?! You even know about Teyvat, a planet whose location is completely unknown?!" Gongsun Ming exclaimed in shock.

"It's not what I know, it's what a friend of mine told me. According to him, the Teyvat storyline has now reached Nata, and some disaster is going to happen there." Ye Tianyu briefly explained the current situation in Teyvat.

"Holy crap? There's a big knife there?! Really? What else did your friend say?" Hu Xiaoyao pressed.

"The main problem with Nata is the ley lines. Ley lines are scattered throughout Teyvat, but not in Nata. He didn't know the specifics, only that Nata was originally a habitat for dragons. It seems that something happened in the past that caused Nata's ley lines to break. However, because the ley lines are broken, consciousness cannot flow into the World Tree, thus enabling 'resurrection,' hence the PV is called 'Blazing Resurrection Poem,'" Ye Tianyu explained slowly.

"Can be resurrected? That's terrifying!" Gongsun Ming relaxed instantly upon hearing that resurrection was possible.

"However, without the support of the ley lines, Nata will be attacked by the Abyss. Nata is now also an outpost against the Abyss. Moreover, according to him, Teyvat is now very powerful, with more than two Demon God-level experts in each country. But the problem... lies in the good deeds of Kanria. They accidentally obtained the Honkai energy within Tianxing and fused it with the Abyss, greatly increasing the Abyss's power. As a result, Tianxing, who was fully prepared, had all his plans fail. This led to the World Tree being corrupted, and Tianxing initiated a deliberate collapse that destroyed the entire Kanria. Just like in the original story, Buyer fell into slumber, and Nashida took over the government. However, the good news is that Tianxing is Nashida's father and the first Sage."

"Wait, wait, what did you say?! Tianxing is Naxida's father?!"

"Well, I don't know the specifics, and Klee is also his daughter by blood."

"Huh??? Wait a minute... So... the Great Tree King and Lady Alice are his wives??? He has two wives, how dare he!" Gongsun Ming said in shock.

The three of them looked at Gongsun Ming with utterly speechless expressions, as if to say…

Don't you take a look at yourself?
"Ahem... I only have Kiana. Mei... belongs to Kiana, not mine," Gongsun Ming argued.

"What's the difference? You can still carry two at a time," Hu Xiaoyao said speechlessly.

"And what about you? Hua and Xiaoshi are two wives too, aren't they? And you, Ritian, you have two wives too, Alicia and Eden!" Gongsun Ming retorted. "Stop, let me clarify first. Hua and I are a couple, but Xiaoshi is just our child," Hu Xiaoyao explained.

"There's an old saying, 'When Alicia is in the harem, the position of harem mistress is no longer yours,'" Peng Hao said calmly. "Besides, it's Alicia who's on good terms with Eden, what does it have to do with me?"

"Ugh... Damn it!" Gongsun Ming angrily gulped down a large mouthful of wine.

"Do you really think that Tianxing has two wives?" Ye Tianyu asked, glancing at Gongsun Ming, who was performing with a monkey.

"Hiss...that makes sense. Given his personality, he might not even have a wife. But where did these two daughters come from? The Great Tree King is an easy explanation—a branch of the World Tree combined with his power. But what about Alice? Hiss...oh...I see! That makes sense then." Gongsun Ming racked his brains, then seemed to have a sudden flash of insight. "Ritian, aren't you planning to do this?"

"Not for now. Let's make plans for the child after our trip to Pinocchio," Peng Hao replied.

"Phew...we've almost finished eating. Boss, the bill."

"Oh, you ordered two dozen beers and 40 skewers, which totals 70 yuan," the owner said to them as if he had just noticed them.

In fact, the conversation was muted, so no one could detect what they were saying, whether by listening to their voices, reading their lips, or even by surveillance cameras.

This is thanks to the power of the Law of Knowledge and the power of the Law of Corruption.

"Phew, as expected of Northern-style barbecue skewers, generous portions and great prices," Gongsun Ming said, patting his belly.

The Earth today is different from the original; Honkai energy is everywhere. However, thanks to the constant changes made by several people, the world today is inseparable from Honkai energy.

Moreover, war is unlikely to break out because it is controlled by three major organizations: Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent.

"So when are we leaving? I still have work to do later," Gongsun Ming said, bored.

"Let's leave the work to the former bishop. We still have to save the world," Hu Xiaoyao suggested.

"Hey, that's a good idea, I like it!" Gongsun Ming said with a grin.

He then took out his phone and found a profile picture labeled "Dog Shill" that was a photo of a blond boy and a white-haired girl.

Youhai Diming: [Please, I'm leaving the work to you. I'm off to save the world with my friends.]

Dogman: [Okay, I'll take care of those tasks. If possible, please bring Theresa along.]

Youhai Diming: [This is a bit tricky, because the rest of us are planning a trip to another world. If we bring Theresa along, it means we'll need Judah too. But if we send too much Honkai, something bad will happen.]

Dog-like comment: [Oh, okay then. Best of luck in your fight.]

Netherworld Sea and Underworld: [Thank you]

"Alright, let's go. It's been a long time since I've seen Tianxing, it's time to go see him." Gongsun Ming stretched and said.

Then a snap of fingers sounded, and the surrounding environment suddenly froze.
Only a few of them are still active.

“Let’s go. We’ll reach Teyvat directly after passing through this gate,” Ye Tianyu said.
