Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

The scene before them made everyone truly realize how insignificant humans are in the face of the Star God.

After slowly leaving the planet's surface and losing Pierpoint as a reference point, the group seemed to turn into tiny specks of dust, drifting aimlessly in the boundless universe.

And this profile of the universe itself is the divine body of the Amber King.

From this angle, it should be seen as His side profile.

A sun, seemingly formed from countless stars, illuminated everything, making even billions of other stars pale in comparison.

And this... is only the tip of the iceberg of its form.

Lin Yuan's perspective trembled as he moved downwards, looking at the core that shimmered with bright light beneath the rocky body, which was as wide as the Milky Way.

Its luster was indescribable, like a flawless gemstone, or perhaps like an indelible amber... amber?

Suddenly, a stinging sensation entered his mind, and Lin Yuan saw layers upon layers of light and shadow before his eyes.

It was as if a slideshow was playing, with scenes that didn't belong to the present moment overlapping with the scene before my eyes.

The scene shifts and intertwines across one, two, and three layers, with black, purple, and blood-red hues constantly changing and reflecting each other.

Lin Yuan's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the amber-like object.

The amber, which had been radiating light, gradually became clear, and the faint outline of a limbless insect with flapping wings emerged, about to spread its wings and envelop the starry sea. Amidst the chaos, one could almost hear the chirping of insects and the sound of flapping wings.

Damn it!

A purple-gold light suddenly emerged from Lin Yuan's body, dispelling the blood-red color before his eyes.

But the next instant, the purplish-black color once again enveloped their vision.

The object within the amber transformed, revealing a gaping, greedy, pitch-black maw that opened wide, swallowing countless galaxies like dust. Lin Yuan's consciousness, too, seemed poised to plummet into that abyss...

At that moment, a flash of white light passed over Lin Yuan, and the purplish-black color in front of him was also dispelled.

In an instant, everything around returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yuan's pupils focused, and warm gold once again streamed in from the porthole.

"Lin Yuan... are you alright?"

Ai Bai's voice came, and Lin Yuan turned around to see the worried looks on everyone's faces.

"Hey!"

Cecilia, who was walking quickly towards him, raised her hand, and the power of [Abundance] enveloped Lin Yuan's entire body, invigorating his spirit.

"It's nothing. It must be because my spiritual vision is too high. I felt like the Amber King was talking to me just now."

Lin Yuan forced a smile, his mind feeling somewhat weary.

"Then let's head back. Witnessing the Star God for the first time is indeed a huge shock to the soul."

Ai Bai gave Lin Yuan a deep look, and then made a suggestion to everyone.

"it is good."

On the way back, Lin Yuan closed his eyes to rest, but the scene from just now kept replaying in his mind.

"what is that?"

Those fragmented phantoms, could they be some pieces seen after the past and future converge? But what do they represent?

"Amber...amber..."

As Lin Yuan pondered in his heart, a chilling thought suddenly occurred to him.

Amber, a type of fossil, often contains ancient life from distant times.

So what is sealed inside the Amber King?

Is it the insect king that He crushed to death during the global locust plague, or Obolos that disappeared along with Him in that divine war?

Is this a manifestation of the destiny of the past, or... a secret from an era that no longer exists, the Twilight War?

A dull ache returned to his head, and Lin Yuan let out a long breath, stopping himself from thinking about it any further.

"Lin Yuan, are you feeling better?"

He opened his eyes and found that Cecilia had been observing him the whole time. He shook his head and then nodded.

“No problem, it’s really amazing, 18 billion for the tickets… I think we undercharged.”

Lin Yuan spoke casually, but his heart was heavy.

The secrets of this universe are far more numerous than he imagined.

............

"So, what are your thoughts?"

On the way back, seeing the group of people who seemed rather silent, Ai Bai's projection walked among them.

"Let alone you guys, every time I have the chance to witness this scene with my own eyes, I am shocked to the core."

"Now I understand why nobody wants to be on the other side of Pierpoint all the time."

The youngest member, Wu Qi, spoke up, his youthful face filled with the shock of having his worldview reshaped.

Before this, he had some degree of technological supremacy.

But after that, I was already preparing to go home and worship the digital guardian statue.

Lin Yuan felt that the company was a real scoundrel.

The wealthy people spent 1.8 billion to pay homage to the King of Amber. After seeing this scene, they must have immediately turned into fanatical believers.

When I get back, I'll have to donate hundreds of billions to the company as a "faith fee." The person who developed this project is truly brilliant.

"Right, if I had to see the Amber King every day, I reckon it wouldn't be long before I started to doubt my own existence..."

Ai Bai sighed softly.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Let's focus on our KPIs and performance instead..."

Ai Bai's tone changed, and her voice became lighter, which slightly eased the somber atmosphere.

"Alright, next stop on our onboarding day trip, we'll be heading to the core city of the Market Development Department. There are quite a few interesting places along the way, so feel free to check them out."

"Core city?"

"Yes, the core city. The entire Pierpoint is divided into regions according to departments, and each department is further divided according to functional areas. The most important place in each department is the core city."

As Ai Bai explained, the warship had already entered the planet's atmosphere.

Compared to other places where they need to dock at a spaceport, for Pierpoint, the warship Lin Yuan was on was just a small boat.

"Look, what's that?!"

As the warship descended, a vast ocean came into view through the portholes, billowing steam.

Miraculously, this ocean is suspended in the sky, with its waters rushing downwards at the edge, forming a vast celestial river.

"Waaah—"

With a long cry, a giant whale-like creature rose from the water and into the air. Its size was comparable to that of a conventional warship, and its body shimmered with dazzling stardust, reflecting the light of an artificial sun in the sky.

"Where is this place? Why does this thing remind me of a star whale that is said to be extinct?"

"Oh, this is it. I remember it was an aquarium business owned by a senior executive in the Business Consolidation Department. I heard his hobby was collecting all sorts of beautiful species, whether endangered or extinct."

The warships passed by the Milky Way and then passed by several floating mechanical cities.

Clearly, the space utilization here has reached its maximum.

Ahead, a colossal mountain, towering ten thousand feet high, stands majestically.

Clouds swirled around it, and below lay a lush, boundless green ocean.

"This is Pierpoint Geopark, which is more like a city park and a great place to relax. We're almost there."

The warship accelerated and broke through the clouds. Finally, a magnificent super pyramid structure appeared faintly in sight.

"That's the core city of the market development zone."

...........

Chapter 165 Core City

The warships were anchored at the towering airport near the core city of the pyramids.

Ai Bai's projection bid farewell to everyone. Next, she needed to lead Lin Yuan to headquarters to report for duty.

The rest of the people stayed on the warship to wait for Lin Yuan to finish the formalities.

As Lin Yuan walked out of the airport terminal, he quickly spotted the familiar figure at the exit.

"How long have you been waiting?"

"It was almost dark by the time we got there."

Ai Bai joked that the sky nearby was indeed nearing dusk.

Here, day and night, as well as the weather, are controlled by the company, and human control is maximized.

"This place is not quite what I imagined."

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over his surroundings.

Not too crowded, super wide streets, and meticulously landscaped greenery.

They stood on the observation deck of the airport, with towering pyramids reaching into the clouds in front of them, and many uniquely shaped buildings visible below the clouds.

Spaceships occasionally streaked across the azure sky, and warships took off and landed frequently.

It was impressive, but not as impressive as I had imagined.

"What are you imagining? Skyscrapers reaching into the clouds everywhere, colorful neon lights, holographic projections overlapping with reality, countless flying cars, and streets full of corporate mechs and robots?"

Ai Bai chuckled.

"Then I can only say that you don't have much imagination."

"Uh, it's not that exaggerated. You're talking about Punk Lord, right?"

Lin Yuan leaned his hand on the railing of the observation deck, a gentle breeze caressing his cheek. The scenery before him was breathtaking and delightful.
