Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"It's so quiet. Has he finally disappeared... or am I about to disappear?"

The annoying voice never reappeared until Sand Gold emerged from the maze.

"..."

So far, he hasn't found any valuable information here.

"No, now even getting out of the house is a problem."

Sand Gold looked around; he couldn't even be sure where he was.

In the distance, the little boy's shouts could be heard again.

"Are we going home? But I don't want to go back yet."

"I'm so happy here, I want to stay here forever."

"..."

Sand Gold understood that the little boy was actually himself from the past.

The annoying guy claimed to be from the future.

"Past and future, huh?"

Sand Gold looked at the corner ahead, knowing in his heart that he had never had such good conditions when he was a child.

Watching films on film, visiting amusement parks, and traveling with family...

"Perhaps this is the past I've always dreamed of."

"I am indeed dreaming right now."

Suddenly, the little boy's voice came from ahead again.

"Sir, is that you? I heard the sound of leather shoes."

After hesitating for a moment, Sand Gold still walked over.

It looks like a children's playground, with young children waving at you.

"Ah...it really is your husband!"

He seemed extremely polite, and upon seeing Sand Gold approach, he said courteously:

"I don't know why, sir, you always give me a special feeling...it makes me very curious and eager to try."

"It's a pity I couldn't get to know you more."

"We should say goodbye now. Did you have a good time?"

Sand Gold looked at his younger self and asked:

"Are you... going back?"

The child nodded:

"Well, I should go home now."

"The sky is getting dark; it's going to rain. I can't let everyone worry."

Looking at the gloomy sky, Sand Gold couldn't help but sigh:

Where...is your home?

The child muttered:

"That's a strange question."

"Home is where Dad, Mom, and my sister are."

"...right here in this dream."

"..." Sand Gold fell silent.

The young child continued to speak:

"This amusement park, this beautiful dream, is truly peaceful. Everyone loves it."

He looked at the gold dust with a puzzled expression and asked:

"But sir, why don't you like it?"

Sand Gold took a deep breath; he felt incredibly clear-headed at that moment.

"...because they are not here."

Behind him, the virtual gold dust suddenly appeared and pressed for an answer:

"Then where are they?"

Facing his past and future selves, Sand Gold lowered his eyes:

"I do not know."

The mockery of virtual gold continued:

"You know perfectly well that the answer is meaningless."

"Admit it, you're tired."

He slowly walked to the child's side, a victorious smile on his face:

"We're all tired, so we've decided to stay here."

“I…and him.”

The virtual gold dust glanced at the child, then said to the real gold dust:

"Your past...and your future."

Sand Gold said in a deep voice:

How long are you staying here?

"Forever." The virtual gold dust smiled.

"We will stay with you forever in this peaceful dream."

"...This is the greatest respect we can offer to those who are determined to die."

“Taking an unconventional approach is an extremely absurd thing to do, but it’s not uncommon for you.”

"Because [your own life] is always the first chip you throw out, it always has been."

Virtual gold mining continues to fuel the fire:

“You don’t care who the real killer is, and you’re not interested in the so-called inheritance.”

"All you wanted was to be a fair and impartial company employee, but you suffered every step of the way on your family's turf, forced into scorching shackles and pushed to the center stage..."

"Hehe... I know you can do it."

"Your good fortune will surely come to your aid at just the right time, a star core and a messenger... it's that simple, isn't it?"

The virtual gold nugget seemed to see through everything, revealing all of gold nugget's thoughts:

"In this way, the company will be qualified to be seated at the table."

"And you, too, can extricate yourself from the endless vortex and obtain the liberation you've always longed for."

"This isn't the first time..."

"This is the way you're best at, and the way you crave the most."

“You understand that as long as you bring those two items into the Grand Theater, that nameless guest will definitely notice you.”

"You volunteered to take on the role of paving the way for him."

"And you also believe that once he discovers the family's problems, he will definitely stand on the opposite side of the family."

“As long as he stands against the family and you are under tremendous threat, the company will have every reason to enter Pinocchio.”

"My God, Star Train and Interstellar Peace Corporation... You're carrying a heavy burden right now."

"No wonder [diamond] chose you."

Sand Gold said calmly:

"All he wants is Pinocchio, regardless of the means or the cost... and it has nothing to do with any specific person."

“The Star Train is just an insurance policy; of course I’m happy to cooperate with them.”

Virtual Gold Placer immediately reminded:

"But there's a loophole now."

"How can you prove that your family has a problem? How can you prove that your family is truly evil?"

"As you said yourself, the Star Train and you only have a cooperative relationship."

“If you can’t find evidence of the family’s wrongdoing, the anonymous guests won’t stand against the family. They might even turn around and help the ‘charitable’ family fight against the company.”

"You could have easily framed him."

"I've already said that's not fair." Sand Gold crossed his arms and looked at the two versions of himself, one big and one small, in front of him.

"Originally, my understanding of my family was indeed vague. What if they really are alright?"

"But now that I see you, I'm basically convinced."

Sand Gold's gaze darkened:

“Threatening and attempting to control the company’s envoys, and abusing their power without any evidence.”

"This is undoubtedly a declaration of war against the company, and even against justice."

Virtual Gold nodded slightly and chuckled:

"so what?"

"You can clarify things yourself when the time comes, then there won't be any problem."

The next moment, the virtual, transparent sand-gold body gradually solidified, and... the two hands behind its back slowly pulled out a lance and a red and white bird.

Upon seeing the two items, Sand Gold frowned and immediately began searching his own body.

"Stop looking, these are all genuine products here!" Virtual Gold immediately declared victory:
