Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Himeko: "They spent their entire lives on the path of exploration into the unknown, truly deserving the name of pioneers. But... what about this nameless monument...?"

Mika turned to look at the crowd.

"When Liumeng Reef was born, its owner was still alive. But that person said that such a day would come eventually, and insisted on erecting a wordless monument for himself."

[Hu Tao: Good idea, Guest Master. Do you think we could start a new business?]

[Zhongli: This... is probably not appropriate.]

The Star Train's good reputation is built on the selfless dedication of these anonymous passengers.

Wendy: You're all heroes, I'll toast you all.

Diluc: You have to pay.

[Pam: They were all great, it's a pity I couldn't see them again.]

Himeko: She truly deserves the name of a pioneer.

[Bell: The last monument should also be to the pioneer, the master of Liumeng Reef.]

[Amber: That's Mikhail!]

[Well, at least he has Misha as his heir, but why can't we see him?]

"Hello everyone on the Star Train, we meet again," Gallagher greeted.

The three arrived at this place.

Sunday finally brought a sense of relief. "The robin..."

When the siblings met, their tone was gentler on Sunday.

Gallagher called the group of people on the train over. "I promised to give those brother and sister some private space. Let's talk about our business first. What do you all think?"

Walter: "It's alright. But Mr. Gallagher went to great lengths to bring together the family head, the Star Train, and the Star Core Hunters, so he must have something important to tell you, right?"

"Wow, even you guys noticed?"

March 7th was speechless. "You practically have 'mastermind' written all over your face..."

"Haha, Mr. Walter is right, it is indeed time to be frank."

"Before we begin, let me reintroduce myself—the founder of Dream Reef, the watchmaker's assistant, and also the one who sent out that invitation..."

"Greetings from the fictional historian Gallagher."

[Bennett: So it was him who sent the invitation. I thought it was from the family.]

He's the mastermind behind it all!

[Qingque: As expected of a mysterious destiny, truly mysterious.]

On March 7th, someone exclaimed, "So, you fictional historian, all that stuff you told us before was made up?"

[Hook Literature!]

Gallagher spread his hands. "I can guarantee that all the stories I told you before were true... well, most of them, except for the part where my family took me back."

Himeko said, "I have confirmed with Mr. Mickael that the information about the family, the watchmaker, and that Mikhail has been verified to be accurate."

"Long live understanding! Now we can have a proper chat. I'm sure you're all eager to know why I went to such lengths to orchestrate an inheritance battle, extending invitations to so many factions and causing such a commotion at Pinocchio..."

"The answer is actually very simple, and you are all very familiar with it: the root of everything... is the star core."

[Star: Me?]

[March 7th: I wasn't talking about you, it's about Pinocchio having a stellar core.]

No wonder the family's star core technology is so advanced; they actually have one.

Walter asked in confusion, "The star core? Pinocene is unobstructed, a nexus in all directions, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of contamination. How could it be related to the star core?"

"You're absolutely right, so why don't you guess what this means?"

Star: "Is someone controlling the star core?"

Gallagher looked at Xing. "Very perceptive. How should I put it? No wonder you're the person here who knows the most about the star core."

[Fireworks: A Star Core Spirit, who knows her better than anyone else?]

[Star: Pat on the head.png]

“Dreams don’t just appear out of thin air. If we compare the Realm of Memories to the ocean, then building a land of dreams is like filling in soil and creating land in a surging ocean.”

"To achieve this feat, the only way is to use the star core, unless memory or a mysterious messenger intervenes."

"Moreover, this isn't something that can be accomplished simply by making a wish. It requires a considerable level of knowledge, along with a significant amount of time and manpower, to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Now you understand, right..."

Gallagher turned his back to the crowd.

"The current star of the grand gathering is none other than the stellar core disaster of Asdna."

What should I do? I don't want to die.

[@Family, what are you doing?! Holding a grand event during the Star Core Disaster!]

[Ring: So stellar cores can be utilized, and the ether within voids can also be used as an energy source.]

[Ying: Isn't this harming people?]

[Jing Yuan: Another star core...]

[Danheng: Beloberg, Xianzhou, and Pinocone—there have been quite a few stellar core explosions.]

Could this be an omen of disaster, like the locust plague?

March 7th covered his mouth with his hands in surprise and exclaimed, "The Star of the Grand Gathering... is the Star Core Disaster?"

"The story begins a long time ago. After the watchmakers liberated the border prison, they were at a loss as to how to build Pinocone from scratch. They were also plagued by internal and external troubles. At this time, someone set their sights on the Star Core."

"This star core originally fell into Asdna during the war. At that time, thanks to the pleas of the Nameless One, people gave up the idea of ​​getting involved with this power. But there have always been people with ulterior motives who have been secretly plotting against it."

"The turning point came after Tirnan's death. The passing of the two nameless men forced the watchmaker to go to the front lines of pioneering. And this journey gave his rivals an opportunity."

"By the time the family representatives of the Montor system responded to the clockmaker's call and arrived, the star core had already been activated and infiltrated into the primal synesthetic dream."

[Alan: Doesn't that mean this mastermind existed even before the family arrived?]

[The nameless traveler worked hard to expand the land, and these people were busy sabotaging it behind his back.]

[Qingyi: It seems that no matter where you are, you can't escape the growth of dark forces.]

Human nature is inherently greedy and susceptible to temptation.

[Zhe: So now there's not only a star core crisis, but also traitors!]

[The family representative who responded to the call was Gopher Wood, right?]

Himeko: "I suspect that the family happens to possess the knowledge of sealing star cores?"

Chapter 70 Defining the Target – Dream Master/Gopher Wood

Gallagher replied, "More than that! Their understanding of the star core is far greater than that of normal people. They quickly helped Mikhail quell the internal strife and joined the construction of Pinocone under the guise of harmony."

"That was the third century, known as the era of pursuing dreams. The watchmakers, kept in the dark, extended an invitation to the whole world, setting off a craze called the Land of Dreams."

March 7th scratched his head, somewhat curious, "So how did they become enemies later?"

"Remember that analogy about reclaiming land from the sea? The truth is, the star core was never sealed away; it simply exists in a different form within the dream. Think about it carefully: what is the price to pay for building and maintaining such a vast and beautiful dream?"

“It is life, little girl. A magnificent dream is built on the death of the spirit. A poison called happiness flows through the dream, making people drown in it, and their minds slowly flow toward the same destination, eventually becoming the placenta of the dream.”

[Zhongli: You can understand it this way: the star's core is the central element for land reclamation in the ocean, while the surrounding filling material represents people's minds.]

[Jingyuan: The seemingly wonderful Pinocchio is actually a collection of skeletons.]

There's no such thing as a perfect thing in this world; everything is based on relative circumstances—that's balance!

[Rin: This really is a case of physical hedonism.]

The perspective shifts upwards, with the train crew standing in front of the monument, surrounded by towering buildings that seem to have no bottom.

From heaven to hell.

"Confusion, laziness, cowardice... these weaknesses that are ubiquitous in human nature were amplified and nurtured by the family, turning Pinocone into another kind of prison, far more indestructible than the one in the past."

Wendy: High walls and chains cannot confine freedom; it is desire and power that can truly bind people.

[The Forest of Steles by an Unknown Visitor, the Dazzling High-Rise Buildings...]

[Simply put: This is human nature.]

“We discovered it too late. By then, the family had already gained immense influence, and the opponents were quickly brought under control and expelled.”

"With nowhere else to turn, I had no choice but to rely on mysterious power to hide in this chaotic realm of memories, and spend several years creating a meme in my dreams for our use—"

"Sleep, that's its true name. Because ordinary people can't fall asleep again in their dreams, we have the opportunity to exploit this loophole."

[Ying: Oh my god, do you remember the professor's medical advice for the gold dust? The impossible in a dream is not death, but a deep sleep.]

The value of a professor's credentials continues to rise!

[Nekota: But how did he know, meow?]

Professor Laoti is very capable; I've never seen any problem that can stump him.

[I remember you guys had a talent club, right? Is he one of them?]

[Estella: The professor is indeed intelligent, but the genius club isn't easy to get into; first, you'll be looked down upon by the erudite.]

He is the pinnacle of humanity, a genius, but the people in the club have transcended the realm of genius; it's beyond the reach of ordinary people.

[Dr. Truth: You're just worrying unnecessarily. Instead of wasting your time worrying about me, you should be studying. I can't stand idiots and fools...]

Aside from being a bit sharp-tongued and strict, the professor is still a very good person.

[March 7th: But haha, I feel the professor is more humane; those geniuses are just too obsessed with research.]

(Dr. Truth fainted from anger because you guys are so stupid. When he woke up, he found himself in Dream Reef. *doge*)

Himeko pondered, "So this is the true meaning of the impossible. So, you sent out invitations in the name of the watchmaker to find the faction that can resolve the Star Core crisis and lure them to Pinocene to discover the truth?"

"Not only that, I'd like to see the various factions constantly fighting over the inheritance. Coupled with the watchmaker's first public statement after disappearing for more than ten years, the traitors in the family will surely be exposed."

March 7: "So, the inheritance is really just a facade..."

Gallagher smiled and spread his hands. "If you want to keep the star core as an inheritance, I have no objection."

[Ring: What was I expecting? It was all just a pretense.]

[Isn't there a star core?]

[Hu Tao: Impressive, they've fooled a whole host of forces in the universe.]

[Silver Wolf: Ahem, if you don't want it, you can give us the star core.]

"So, where is that star core now?" Himeko asked.

Gallagher suggested that the question should be directed to the winged-headed kid, as the Star Core had always been under the family's control and he was the family's most important person, so he should know.

[Little bird, chicken-wing boy, the most handsome person...]

[Robin: Hehehe, brother, you have so many nicknames!]

【Sunday:……】

Without repetition, I would call you the god of ancient Greece who presided over titles.

After a detailed discussion, everyone understood that the key to this incident lay in the star core.

So they came to the Sunday siblings to inquire about the whereabouts of the star core.

Gallagher: "Have you finished talking? So, are you willing to tell us where that star core is?"

He remained silent for a moment on Sunday, his eyes looking somewhat downcast.

"It...is the Pinocchio Theatre itself."

Robin: "Just as I thought, the embodiment of the family, the building that first appeared in my dream... it is the culprit that made Pinocchio look like this."

Sunday picked up the conversation, "And the person who used the star core to accomplish all this... is probably Mr. Gopher, who is now the Dream Master."

"When we were investigating the murderer of my sister, besides you... he was the second person I suspected."

Gallagher: "It seems that your decision to confront me first was quite correct."
