I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"Just call me Uncle Cold Legs... Oh dear, it's so early in the morning, I'm feeling cold and hungry."

"Come, come, sit here and have a sip of hot meat soup, it's on me!"

The blue-haired man, who declined to give his name and only gave a code name, didn't stand on ceremony and drank most of the bowl of meat soup in one gulp.

"Dude, the meat soup is pretty good, even better than the fish soup I make myself. The main problem is that the fish wasn't fresh enough. It was gutted and stuffed with things, how could it survive?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me about the extraterrestrial heroes. Did they really come from outer space?"

"This hero has quite a background. He is the apostle of the Amber King who travels among humans. He came to Beloborg on the Star Train and saved the entire world in a short time."

"Be specific, be more specific."

"Hey, I like to fidget with my Winterhold Shield while I'm talking, but unfortunately, I forgot to bring it with me today—look at my stupid brain, where was I?"

A bowl of high-quality meat soup isn't enough, you're just asking for money now, aren't you!

However, many people present had witnessed the red glow of the sunset yesterday and felt that the temperature was warmer than usual when they woke up today. So when they suddenly heard the explosive news from Uncle Hantui, they couldn't suppress their curiosity.

"Give."

“That feels good now!”

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it. Who is the hero from beyond the heavens? Shouldn't the Amber King's apostle on earth be the Great Guardian?"

"Without the cold wave, our planet could build many cities like Beloborg, and there are countless planets with civilizations in outer space. The universe is quite vast. In terms of [preservation], that hero is far superior to the Great Guardian... tsk tsk."

Without keeping everyone in suspense, the blue-haired man continued speaking.

“A few days ago, a rift appeared in the neighborhood, and the Silvermane Iron Guards had no choice but to seal it off.”

"I know that. My friend's shop is there. He had to evacuate in a hurry because of the Rift Invasion. He didn't have time to take anything with him. He felt like he wanted to die. But then things changed. The Iron Guard said that it would reopen in a few days—how could it be safe when the Rift Invasion has come?"

"This is all thanks to the hero from beyond the heavens. He used his protective power to suppress the rift and repair space."

"Hiss! You're really not kidding?"

"You haven't heard of this before, have you? Even the Great Guardian can't do something like this. If it weren't for the help of a powerful external force that can change everything, how could the situation in Beloborg be turned around so easily?"

More and more people gathered around, straining to hear the jaw-dropping news.

"Cripperburg should issue an official announcement today. Let me share some more secret information—do you know how that hero got to Beloborg?"

"how?"

"Ride the Star Train, a vehicle capable of interstellar travel—and guess which star god the train is following."

“It must be Amber King Kripper. You said that the lord is Amber King’s apostle walking among humans.”

"You're wrong. The Star Train believes in [exploration]."

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

Who is "[Pioneer]"?

For seven hundred years, the Beloborgs were isolated from the universe. They knew nothing about anything other than the Guardian Star Gods. Even their knowledge of the Amber King was based on mythological epics rather than scientific descriptions.

"What's the matter?"

"I, Uncle Hantui, am just an honest businessman running a small business. How would I know such secret things? I can only guess."

"Any guesses?"

"I bet Dai Kaituo's Starry Sky Train is trying to poach Amber King's talent..."

"……what?"

"I'm just saying this casually, so please don't overthink it. Come, come, I have holy water here made from snow that has been touched by the protective fire. One bottle will refresh your mind, two bottles will keep you forever young, and three bottles will bring the favor of the star gods, granting you eternal youth!"

Uncle Cold Legs brought out a large box from somewhere and took out dozens of small bottles from it.

"So, what do you all think is the price of such a great product?"

"How many?"

"I'll say a number, two hundred!"

"Oh!"

The crowd cheered, whether they were amazed by the rumors they had heard or thought the price quoted by the blue-haired man was very reasonable.

In any case, my emotions were stirred up.

"Water of Preservation, only 200 Winter City Shields a bottle, don't miss it, buddy."

"Will drinking this truly grant eternal vitality and the blessing of the Amber King?"

"That's not necessarily true; it's a matter of probability. How about a bottle? Two hundred Winter City Shields for a chance to try your luck. It's not a bad deal."

"Okay, one bottle, please."

"Give me three bottles!"

"Do you have a minimum guarantee? If you do, I'll take a hundred bottles."

"How would I know? Customers come first. The protective water is all for my buddies. If I just drink it, wouldn't that be a waste?"

The isolated 4.7 Bellberg didn't have many marketing tactics, and the simple citizens had never heard of such sales pitches.

Unable to use their brains to find loopholes in the other person's words, many people ended up paying money.

Until the Silvermane Iron Guards arrived upon hearing the news and roared.

"Sambokoski, it's you again! This guy is a wanted criminal, don't be fooled by him, grab him, don't run!!"

"Welcome back next time, everyone!"

The blue-haired man showed no signs of leg pain and escaped at lightning speed, leaving the people looking at each other in disbelief.

"He's a fraud? Then this water..."

"Of course it's a lie. I've already drunk a bottle and I don't feel refreshed at all. If I used this money to buy black bread soda, I could drink to my heart's content."

"Damn it, my Winterhold Shield!"

"You're going to die! Don't let me see him again. I'll beat him every time I see him."

Chapter 211 is the Sky

Rumors are not to be trusted.

Fort Cripper issued an official announcement.

The rosy glow that burst forth on the horizon was a protective fire; the great hero Hua Yi saved the world.

From now on, no new rifts will be created, and the cold waves will gradually subside over time.

High Guardian Cocolia mistakenly issued a lockdown order and withdrew the Silvermane Iron Guards, causing all sorts of suffering to the people of the lower districts. She felt that she had failed to properly deal with the disaster, and that her body was not as reliable as that of Lady Alisarand. She was also severely injured by the cold wave and the even more indescribable forces behind the rift.

Circumstances no longer allow her to continue ruling, and Cocolia will resign soon, with Bronya succeeding her as High Guardian, following the guidance of the savior hero and leading Beloborg to a better future.

In addition, the lockdown order will be lifted immediately, and travel between floors will resume. Residents who need to travel are requested to queue for transportation and avoid crowding.

After the Silvermane Iron Guards left the Lower District, order there descended into chaos. A group of selfless and fearless individuals rose up to form [Earthfire], taking over the Silvermane Iron Guards' duties to prevent the complete collapse of the Underworld and protect the people in extremely harsh conditions. 13

Without the need for the builders to bestow honors, the Earthfire has demonstrated its will to protect the city through its actions. From this day forward, all Iron Guards returning to the lower districts will have a red ribbon of Earthfire tied to their shoulders as a sign of respect.

One bombshell after another left the people of Belloberg reeling.

The Great Guardian has resigned to take responsibility?

This is the first time Belloberg has ever done this.

Moreover, there are indescribable forces behind the cold wave and the rift, which is terrifying.

The lifting of the lockdown and the organization of fires in the lower-level areas are all breaking news, but when you really think about it, the heroic rescue is still more awe-inspiring.

Will everything get better in the future?

Even though ordinary citizens had never left the city and had never witnessed the monsters' ferocity and terror on the front lines of the Iron Guard, when the rift's invasion spread to the city a few days ago, they were quickly evacuated, losing their main homes, shops, and all their personal belongings. The fruits of their life's hard work were suddenly lost, causing immense pain to those involved, and bystanders were also afraid that one day the rift would spread to their own homes.

Panic.

Now a hero has appeared, stronger than the Great Guardians... no, stronger than all the Great Guardians of the past. He has found the root cause behind the cold tide and the rift, and he has also resolved it!

Yes, everything will be alright!

The crowd cheered and spread the news through the streets.

At the station entrance, Bronya changed out of her Silvermane Iron Guard uniform and into casual clothes, following Hua Yi alongside Xing, Natasha, and others.

She looked around the bustling city, remained silent for a long while, and then asked softly.

"Why did you only briefly summarize your achievements in saving the world in the announcement, but mention the poor health of the Great Guardian, and devote a lot of space to describing the contributions of the Earth Fire?"

"The lower district used a combo attack that left me dizzy. I can foresee that as the lockdown is lifted and a large number of people from the lower district come to the upper district, they will definitely remember the saying, 'Winter City prospers, King Hua Yi.' As for me, I am just emphasizing another part of the fact, knowing that my prestige is about to increase rapidly."

The notice was written by Hua Yi.

King Belloborg arrived at his loyal Cripper Castle and seized power, with Bronya merely serving as his secretary, relaying orders on his behalf.

Hua Yi's expression was equally joyful as he watched the jubilant people.

The city of Belleburg is bursting with vitality, and the pervasive rhythm of preservation has become even more profound.

“Cocolia made a mistake and failed to protect the world on her own, but she didn’t really want to destroy it. Wouldn’t it be too heartless to only acknowledge the Great Guardian’s mistakes and ignore her struggles?”

"..."

"As for the Earthfire, the Upper Zone should understand the suffering endured by the Lower Zone. The miners who were willing to mine underground in the past were all honorable workers, and the Earthfire organization, which stood up to maintain order and fight against the Rift Monsters in the chaos, should be shaped into role models."

Cocolia is Bronya's relative and Hilva's best friend.

The Earthfire was established and managed by Natasha, with Seele serving as its main combat force.

Hua Yi did not denigrate Cocolia as a worthless sinner, nor did he promote his own achievements. Instead, he focused on describing the contributions of the Earth Fire. It seemed like he had only edited the announcement, but the kindness behind it touched the hearts of the girls.

A pair of beautiful eyes gazed at the great hero who saved the world. They felt that Hua Yi, who was protected by the flame of preservation and looked like a god, was not yet in a position to be summoned by fate. He also possessed a charm that made people unable to look away.

Passengers disembarked one by one as the cable car from the lower level arrived at the station.

Welcome back to the Upper Zone!

With their upright postures and red ribbons tied to their shoulders, the Silver-Maned Iron Guards standing on both sides of the passageway spoke in unison to pay tribute to the first batch of compatriots who had arrived, announcing the lifting of the blockade and the reunification of the upper and lower levels.

If you look closely, you'll notice that several of the passengers are also wearing red ribbons; they are members of the Earth Fire team.

Having been given the opportunity to return to the upper levels, many people from the lower levels wanted to come back and take a look, but the cable car had limited capacity, and long queues had already formed.

Limited by their long queues.

Whenever someone wants to ride the cable car, the public will spontaneously make way for them, grateful for the selfless acts of those who stand up to maintain order.

The fire deliberately made room for residents to return to the upper levels as soon as possible.

The first group of passengers included engineers and mechanics, who were there to ensure that the cable car could be salvaged if it malfunctioned midway through its journey.

It also includes two girls.

"Wow...whoa! This, this is...such a big, such a blue roof!"

Hook tilted his head back and looked up at the sky, unable to look away.

Clara and she went to the upper section together, both of them looking up, lost in thought.

As Hua Yi sealed the star core, the raging wind and snow weakened the calamity to its natural state by using [protection] to suppress it.

Snowflakes were still falling from the sky, and a chill was in the air; it was far from a sunny and calm day, with not a cloudless sky.

But the sky over Belleburg today is absolutely the most beautiful it has been in centuries.

Its jewel-like, translucent azure light is lofty and unattainable, yet it possesses an open mind and an unbridled boldness.

It's as beautiful as a dream.

Those who have visited the upper district are fascinated by it.

Girls who have never been to the upper districts can't even imagine this kind of scenery.

"This isn't a roof."

Hua Yi came over to Hook and Clara and patted their heads.

"It's the sky."
