I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Let's add the element of lovers first.

"Three, two, one, the first leap begins!"

The Star Train was enveloped by the power of exploration and disappeared at the edge of the star field.

When it reappeared, a dark shadow flashed past the car window, followed by a deep color, quite different from the starry sky seen before.

The starlight is nowhere to be seen; only unidentified meteorites, or something else, float outside.

It's red.

Chapter 526 Giant True Stinging Insect

"Hey, where have we jumped to? There aren't any stars outside!"

March 7th was puzzled, and Himeko had never seen such a cosmic sight before. She frowned and searched through her memories.

"That huge dark shadow just now..."

"Attention passengers, the train is currently traveling in a strange area. Pam just selected a route, but now the direction seems to be slightly off. Let Pam take a look."

Pam, who had been controlling the Star Train, returned to the observation car and looked out the window, a hint of hesitation on her round rabbit face.

"The train conductor's control over the course is always impeccable. If there's even the slightest deviation, it's already very strange. We need to be on high alert! I wonder if there's some strange cosmic magnetic field nearby interfering with the train's movement."

"There are countless waterways, but safety is the most important. Improper driving will bring tears to your eyes."

While everyone was still in awe and doubt, Hua Yi was still in the mood to joke.

His calmness put everyone at ease. Even Pam, who was carefully checking for any external abnormalities, felt inexplicably relaxed and jumped up to hit Hua Yi's knee.

"It is forbidden to assign this train conductor a position! I clearly did not shed any tears, and the train operation was perfectly normal. The problem lies with this star system."

"Indeed."

"The unpredictable surprises in the starry sky are what make exploration so fascinating."

Himeko had originally looked away to avoid interfering with March's intimate moment with someone, but now something had actually gone wrong elsewhere.

She silently estimated the itinerary.

It's pretty much certain that if a situation like Bellberg's were to occur again, unless Hua Yi takes real action and bypasses the process of contact and understanding to resolve the global crisis in a simple and brutal way, it would be difficult for him to catch up with the Pinocchio event.

"Hua Yi, do you know what's going on? Have we stumbled into some chaotic region of a star's core, just like with Bellberg?"

"It has nothing to do with the star core. If I had to say, this adventure has allowed me to experiment with some things—are there any windows in your rooms open? Go and close the windows tightly first."

The Star Train travels through the universe and can even open windows to look out—it's amazing, isn't it?

Under Hua Yi's command, the girls immediately began their operation.

Hoshi and March 7 both returned to their rooms to check if the windows were closed properly, while Himeko simply inspected each carriage one by one.

Only the mirror stream remained still.

After she boarded the Starry Sky Train, the furniture was all arranged by Tingyun and others. She did not deliberately open the room windows or look around.

With the situation unclear, all Jingliu could do was stay by Huayi's side and, once an enemy was spotted, swiftly draw his sword and eliminate them.

Hua Yi is better than me.

But Jingliu can handle those opponents below the level of Commander, saving him the trouble of expending energy.

"Huh, am I dreaming? No, when I kissed Hua Yi just now, the touch felt really real."

Back in his room, March 7th suddenly saw another version of himself, stood there dumbfounded, and rubbed his eyes hard.

Let's look again—

How come she's still here?!

“I understand you, March 7th, I understand your past, I understand your feelings.”

The "March 7th" in the room spoke, its tone calm.

"Who are you? How come you look just like me?" March 7th looked wary and at a loss.

Anyone who suddenly sees another version of themselves will freeze in place.

"Also, how did you sneak into the Star Train? The window was only slightly ajar."

“I am you, the real, complete you.”

Both had the same faces, but their tones of voice were completely different.

One was panicked, while the other appeared unusually mature and composed, as if he were the supreme being who had awakened his memories on March 7th and lived a second life, about to find his past and obtain his inheritance.

Another version of myself... a script of an empress reincarnated?

March 7th was stunned, yet also felt a faint sense of excitement.

I'm actually this strong!

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door behind him. Hua Yi stood at the door of the room, which was not closed, and glanced at Xiao Sanyue across the room.

"A complete March, a complete six-phase ice, a complete—me! If it develops like this, it's pretty cool. Unfortunately, it's just an illusion. March, guess what you're seeing."

"what?"

"insect."

Hua Yi snapped his fingers, and a strong wind suddenly appeared in the room, scattering the wing powder that filled the room.

"When a true cricket hatches from its egg, it flaps its wings and shakes off fibrous debris, which can cause hallucinations in those who inhale it."

The hallucination dissipated, and on March 7th, he was shocked to see another version of himself disappear, replaced by a large, black and red worm.

He was taller than her, and his width was equivalent to that of two girls, no, three girls!

Its wings flapped rapidly as it flew through the air. Luckily, the train cabin was large enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to accommodate such a large insect.

With its mouthparts gleaming with a metallic sheen, tearing apart flesh and blood and shattering steel alloys are the most common feats of the true stinging insect.

It is a killing weapon in itself, a terrifying yet perfectly bio-aesthetic.

"ah!"

On March 7th, she cried out in alarm. Her first reaction to danger was not to draw her bow and arrow, but to slip and hide behind Hua Yi.

"I just mistook this bug for another version of myself! That illusion was terrifying! Wait, Hua Yi, are we both caught in the same illusion? How do you know that the person on the other side is a fake version of me?"

"The replacement effect of the wing powder is targeted, and different people see different effects. I was not affected, which is due to the feedback from my [consciousness] power."

In a flash, Hua Yi mobilized imaginary energy to crush the newly hatched True Zerglings. He then closed the window and brought March 7 back to the observation car to reunite with the others.

"The Star Train is now inside the belly of a giant true worm."

"Inside the...stomach?" March 7th swallowed hard.

Xing looked out the car window and, after confirming that he could not see any organs such as the stomach or abdomen, wisdom took over.

"The Giant True Stinger Worm is so big! The Starry Sky Train was expanded, and it was swallowed whole. We can't even see the end of its belly. If we had the Giant True Stinger Worm dragging the train in the future, it would save fuel!"

"Star Passenger, stop with your bizarre ideas!"

Pam was shocked.

"We are pioneers, we are [pioneers]! The cosmic locust plague that ravaged the star sea was mainly composed of True Stinging Insects. If you let such large insects pull a cart, no matter which faction you go to, they will think you are a breeding faction!"

After accepting that the Star Train was eaten by the giant worm, you actually started thinking about worms pulling a train?

Star Passenger, what are you thinking?!

"Such a large giant stinging insect cannot be killed with one or two sword strikes."

The mirror-like flow condenses the ephemeral sword.

“But I can cut open the insect’s abdomen, and the Star Train can take this opportunity to leave and continue its journey.”

"Need not."

From the moment the train was swallowed by the true stinging insect, Hua Yi had already secretly manipulated its reproductive fate.

He can simulate the Starbreaker King Worm Skarakkabaz.

It's such a rare opportunity, but to encounter a small swarm of insects that isn't actually a simulated entity, but merely impersonating a breeding envoy—what a pity.

As long as there is an object to analyze, Hua Yi can simulate the messenger at the level of destiny.

He could have done that back when he was on the Black Tower space station.

Back then, our understanding of fate wasn't as comprehensive as it is now.

Having absorbed knowledge and sought truth along the way, Hua Yi has accumulated enough to not be able to directly simulate a real star god at the level of destiny, but taking a shortcut is certainly feasible.

Fortunately, the Star God of Procreation is dead, and within this path of destiny, there is no one I can be wary of.

Even more coincidentally, I have a part of the remains of that insect king, Taizyuros.

Hua Yi secretly picked up the Star God fragment and activated the [Reproduction] Truth.

—Children of the swarm, see who I am.

Chapter 527 The Will of the "Insect King"

At first, the path of reproduction only experienced a slight tremor.

The unspeakable truths of the universe have been cleansed of their dust, ending their long silence since the passing of the Star God, and gradually revealing their sublimity.

Even the slightest breath can overwhelm the stars.

Inside the giant true jellyfish's belly, and even in the entire uninhabited star field outside, cosmic dust and barren planets stirred, multiplied, and split together...

It rises and falls like a living thing, breathing.

A sublime being, transcending the rules, quietly descends, or rather, reveals its true form.

On the path of reproduction, imaginary energy surges within Hua Yi's controlled limits, tearing a rift in the dimension of reality and letting down rustling insect shadows.

The giant true worm, along with the swarm of worms hidden within it, "saw" that the supreme star god had bestowed a divine miracle, which was thus revealed.

He is the king of all insects, the master of reproduction!

The insect limbs that once unfolded from the void and could shatter galaxies, and the carapace that reflected different star systems and shrouded the entire universe in shadow, have all temporarily receded.

The insect king shrank its body, shed its armor, and transformed into a human.

The intelligent individuals among the true insects dared not fathom the will of the gods, knowing only that the weak human race had already received the blessing of reproduction due to the temporary submission of the insect king.

A dark swarm of insects flew out from the crimson "starry sky," surrounding the Starry Sky Train. Their massive, segmented bodies rubbed against each other, producing a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

The glossy carapace is covered with fine, sharp spines. With each twitch, the insect's body trembles, and a sticky acidic liquid seeps from its mouthparts, forming long, thin threads.

The swarm of insects howled and danced wildly in excitement.

The friction of the elytra produced a low-frequency resonance like that of a pipe organ, as if countless tiny scissors were opening and closing simultaneously, stimulating Himeko and the others' eardrums even through the train window.

"Quiet."

Hua Yi uses the destiny of reproduction to convey a message.

For this swarm of insects, the Insect King and Sand King are the supreme sovereigns and fathers who bestow decrees and convey their will.

What an honor!

Ordinary creatures, not even king worms, only capable of swallowing a star destroyer, such as the giant true worms and the remaining small swarms, were able to hear God's will and serve by His side.

They excitedly secreted pheromones frantically, yet strictly obeyed the insect king's command, remaining still outside the train without making a sound.

If you don't look over there, you won't even know that the Star Train is surrounded by a dark swarm of insects.

But how could Himeko and Kagami possibly look away?

They are ready to go into battle at any time.

"There's a swarm of insects hiding here." Himeko had already activated the monomolecular saw.

Space-based railguns can also be deployed, and can cover a large area with just an angle that does not affect the train.
