I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Galaxy Bat Man felt a little disappointed, but he didn't dwell on it and was determined to show his skills tomorrow.

The star core will give rise to rifts and monsters, and a great battle is bound to be waiting for me.

Late at night, when all the other girls were already asleep, Hua Yi had no intention of resting and left her room.

The door to the room next to his quietly opened, and Himeko stood there holding a cup of coffee.

"Unlike you, who fought monsters and suppressed the rifts underground, I've been staying in the upper area these past few days and getting plenty of rest. So, where are you planning to go at this time when you should be sleeping? You're not going to deal with the Star Core by yourself, are you?"

"Go outside the city and make some attempts about destiny and the truth of the universe. As for the star core, although it is called the cancer of all worlds, both the Star Train and the Black Tower Space Station have ways to seal it. I would not hide it from my companions and steal something that everyone can and wants to contribute to."

"..."

After staring at Hua Yi for a long while, making sure he wasn't lying or deceiving her, Ji Zi didn't press the matter further and began to talk about her impressions of the Great Guardian.

"Cocolia's condition is strange. Her body is being eroded by the energy of the star core, resulting in defects in her sense of taste and smell, and her hands under her gloves are half-crystalized. However, she maintains a rationality that is in line with common sense. She did not secretly plot anything while you went to the lower districts, and she is busy handling government affairs every day..."

"I see."

That's enough.

Himeko knew that, many times, she couldn't do whatever she wanted.

Reality doesn't always unfold as we expect.

Even if the best ending isn't achieved, Bronya's display of affection for Cocolia will inevitably lead to tears.

When are you coming back?

"Before dawn."

"Then—go ahead."

The navigator did not ask any further questions, nor did she request to follow Hua Yi.

She has concluded that the other party intends to act alone, and requesting to accompany them without authorization is a disruption of the plan.

On one hand, Hua Yi is powerful enough that the only thing in the entire Belloberg that can pose a threat to him is probably the Star Core.

On the other hand, relying on the smart terminal, Ji Zi can confirm Hua Yi's location in real time. If he goes too far into the cold wave or detects strong energy fluctuations, she can rush over in time.

The door closed again, and Ji Zi waited for Hua Yi to return.

Pioneers are very convenient. If something really happens, it won't be Himeko running to his aid on foot. Instead, the train conductor Pam will drive the 3.3 Star Dome Train, which is hovering at the altitude of Arillo-VI, directly into the snowfield.

If Hua Yi acts recklessly, the train crew will act recklessly too.

Himeko took a sip of her richly aromatic coffee, recalling her interactions with Cocolia over the past few days, and how the Great Guardian, who had lost her sense of taste, drank coffee with such ease. She realized that the story between her and Beloberg was about to reach its conclusion, and sighed softly, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Stepping out of the Goethe Hotel and disappearing into the darkness of the night, Hua Yi did not choose to leave the city through the Belleburg Gate, but instead climbed directly over the city wall.

Surrounding Winter City, even ordinary people who raise their heads and tilt their faces up cannot see the entire top of the high wall, so it cannot stop him.

Fate transcends space and time.

Based on this theory, Hua Yi can undertake rather radical attempts and then achieve the outcome he desires.

Chapter 196 Those who believe in miracles are themselves as remarkable as miracles.

Belleburg withstood the cold wave for seven hundred years, the city did not fall, but its history is incomplete.

Even the records about the great guardians of the past are brief, chaotic, and lack detail.

Either the Great Guardian ventured alone into the Frost Tide to slow the erosion of the rift, or some internal strife led them into a conspiracy, where they were tricked by treacherous officials into going to the desolate ice plains and effectively exiled.

The Great Guardians, a title passed down through generations of rulers in Beloborg, are those who watch over all their subjects—but people don't know that they are unattended and unprotected.

The calamities brought by the Star Core left a blank in the fate of the Great Guardians, shrouding an already fragmented history in mystery.

In this context, could the concept of "preservation" be used as a starting point to shake up reality?

Hua Yi wouldn't be so delusional as to try to rescue someone from the past, ignoring the paradox of time and reversing the order of cause and effect.

However, it is possible to try to give the Great Guardians, whose endings are already shrouded in mystery, the possibility of reopening the curtain after their previous demise.

Sealing the star core to end the crisis in Beloberg?

not enough.

Hua Yi even wants to save those great guardians from the past.

Cocolia is the eighteenth Guardian. Before her, there were seventeen others who protected the people but never received any protection themselves.

If you include the girls who didn't manage to succeed to the position, there are even more.

As time goes by and rulers come and go, it seems that nothing can be considered eternal except for the star core and the disasters it spawns.

However, Hua Yi is certain that [the preservation] has been there for the past seven hundred years.

Coincidentally, this is also a power closely related to Beloborg and the Great Guardians.

Based on my current understanding of storage and protection, is it possible to achieve this?

Based on the present, let's create a brand new future for the mysterious past.

The snow reflects light, preventing the night from becoming completely dark in the depths of the cold wave, but it only makes the already cold ice field even more desolate.

Wherever Hua Yi was, a blazing fire ignited.

The preservation of destiny stirs up waves, resonating with the omnipresent rhythm of Winter City, and following the planet's memories to trace the footsteps of the Great Guardians of all ages.

Star Gods have no past; from the moment they ascend, their past and future are submerged by destiny.

This is transcendence at the level of personality.

The Great Guardians were clearly not Star Gods, and Hua Yi did not want to treat time and space as concepts that had to be defeated.

Tracing back to find the traces of those great guardians, trying to grasp a thread along the torrent of fate, and establishing a tiny connection—that would be enough.

Relying on [preservation], we seek within [memories] influenced by [mystery].

Different destinies intertwine, and then chaos ensues.

It’s a mess, it’s a mess.

Since the past wasn't so wonderful, chaos is not a drawback; it will become the medium for Hua Yi to achieve his goals and the cradle of possibilities.

"I will - turn everything around!"

Flames rise, deforming and twisting along with the curvature of spacetime.

Each change represents something that may be brewing, until a tiny figure slowly emerges.

A girl who looks even younger than Hook.

Her eyes did not reflect the moonlight and the snowfield, as if she were not really there, or perhaps just a random play of light and shadow produced by the flow of imaginary numbers.

But the little girl can see Hua Yi.

"Are you also a [City Builder]? My sister isn't home, so please come again another time, big brother."

"No, I am not one of the builders, but I am indeed looking for someone, anyone will do."

"?"

The little girl tilted her head in confusion.

"Does my older brother want a friend to talk to, just like me? -- Oh, I didn't say anything!"

The power of destiny drawn from the path is constantly being depleted, and the truth, which is rarely seen even when invoked by the traveler, is as fleeting as a white horse passing through a crack.

Hua Yi will not investigate whether the girl is an illusion, or whether the chaos caused by multiple destinies truly disturbs time and space, casting the shadow of the past into the present, or allowing his present self to converse with someone from the past.

I must believe it is the last possibility.

Establish connections, even the smallest ones.

Without asking the little girl whether she was in the vast snowfield or in her familiar home, Hua Yi gave her a friendly smile.

“I don’t know any of the city builders you know, and we can’t communicate face-to-face, so you can treat me as a harmless stranger and choose something to confide in to relieve your loneliness. Of course, if it were me, you would have no problem.”

"Well……"

“You seem nervous, and I’m actually quite nervous too, afraid you might suddenly disappear. Let’s start the conversation with a short story—Once upon a time, there was a brave warrior.”

The story of a demon king who wants to destroy the world, and a hero who steps forward to save humanity.

The classic fantasy adventure plot is a common trope in the Star Peace Network, but the girl obviously hadn't heard of it.

Hua Yi innovated, delivering a captivating and engaging presentation.

The heroine is a girl who goes through countless hardships to thwart the demon king's conspiracy and accomplish the great task of saving the world, only to discover that the world's disasters have not been completely ended and the demon king will one day be resurrected.

The timid little girl heard the key part of the story, and her emotions were swayed by the plot development. She was overjoyed when the hero defeated the demon king, and became nervous when she learned that the crisis was not over yet.

"Did the heroine still fail?"

"No, she didn't fail, because the Demon King is temporarily unable to conquer the world, and the hero has secured a period of peace through his own efforts."

"What happens when time passes? The resurrected demon king will become even more powerful."

497 "In a more distant past, there appeared generation after generation of heroes. None of them had a way to completely destroy the Demon King, but they left behind a legacy and blessings, hoping that the story of heroes defeating the Demon King could continue to be written, to protect humanity and continue the world."

"That--"

The little girl forgot her nervousness and had the courage to talk to this friendly older brother. But before she could continue to explore the story of the powerful hero and the evil demon king, the figures began to flicker one after another.

The chaotic phenomena generated by the power of destiny cannot be maintained stably.

When the girl's figure became clear again, she was already in tears.

"Big brother, is that you? Why did you leave without saying a word?"

"It seems that many days have passed and a lot has happened there."

"Waaaaah, my sister is gone. At first, the adults who built the city said they were going to take my sister away, to a very far place, and that I might never see her again. I was so scared because my sister had always taken care of me and protected me. If she was gone, I might get hurt and become even more lonely. But today the adults said that my sister is missing and no one has been able to find her."

"You must believe that your sister is safe and sound. Do you remember the story I told you before?"

"...Yes! People who believe in miracles are as remarkable as miracles themselves."

Chapter 197 Hillier

Compared to her older sister, the little girl seemed quite ordinary.

So when the adults who called themselves the city builders visited, they would only talk to the older sister, telling her about Crepper Castle, the Amber King, and all sorts of complicated things that were incomprehensible to her, while treating the younger sister as if she didn't exist.

She got used to it and didn't ask for more.

Even though her older sister became busier and spent less time talking to her, the girl was willing to accept it.

As long as she could continue living with her sister in the small house, that was all the little girl needed. This remote and simple place was her whole world.

Her familiar, warm home.

In the past, the girl was content and happy.

As a result, the builders said they would take the sister away, and she would no longer be anyone's family member, but would be destined to continue the life of Beloborg and protect everyone as the Great Guardian.

The news made the girl uneasy, and she couldn't imagine a future where she would live alone.

If my sister is gone and I'm all alone at home, the familiarity will turn into strangeness, and the warmth will turn into a coldness that makes me curl up in body and mind.

As if the gods had heard the poor little sister's prayers, a gentle older brother, unlike any other adult, suddenly appeared, willing to talk to her and tell her stories.

For the first time, I felt happy talking to someone other than my sister. It was also the first time I heard a story about a hero defeating a demon king, and I was captivated by the protagonist's exciting adventures.

Nothing bad has happened yet, but it seems like I've already encountered something good.

So, could the bad things just be adults scaring me? Everything can turn out better.

The expected answer didn't come; instead, the older brother suddenly disappeared.

The girl mustered her courage and asked her older sister if she knew this brother, and the answer was no.

The days became lonely and helpless again.

My sister is always very busy, as if she has a lot of things to deal with.

He never returned after going on a long trip.
