There was no longer any need for Leon to linger.
"If you need anything, come find me. I will wait for the day you become a true Ranger."
Before leaving, he gave Rappa a few final instructions.
"Rest assured, Great Whirlpool Deity!"
Rappa, wearing the fedora he had gifted her, nodded earnestly.
"I, the Spinning Chaos Ninja Hero, will settle down here and cultivate my skills. When my ninja arts are perfected in the future, I will surely come to lend you a hand!"
"I'll be waiting."
Leon couldn't be bothered to correct her address anymore. Forget it; Lan probably wouldn't care about such things either.
"Waaah, General of the Long Heavens, I can't bear for you to leave!"
Bailu clung to his thigh. It was the first time in her life she had met someone who treated her so well.
"What are you crying for? Do you look even remotely like a dragon right now?" Leon said as he shook his leg.
"That's enough, Dragon Lady."
Seeing this, Yukong helplessly stepped forward and pried the Luofu's High Elder off his leg.
"The General of the Long Heavens is, after all, a Galaxy Ranger. There are many others in the Galaxy who need him."
"The Luofu cannot look after every place. The General has such grand ideals; we should respect them," Yukong coaxed her.
"Hey, the General is just leaving, not dying." Jing Yuan shook his head, telling her not to make it look like a life-and-death separation.
"Why so dramatic? There will always be opportunities to meet in the future." He looked at Leon. "Right?"
"Call me if anything happens." Leon nodded.
If the Xianzhou Alliance called, he would definitely come. After all, this was the turf where he had won over Senior "Lan"; as a man of sentiment, he had to look out for it!
"Until we meet again. I will let you see a different me." Hearing this, Feixiao followed the Luofu General's words and bid her farewell.
"Until we meet again. Perhaps by then, the one holding power over the Luofu will have changed to match your expectations," Fu Xuan replied unwillingly.
But she wasn't sure if she could become General by the next time they met. So she could only answer vaguely.
"Thank you for fishing me out of the Shackling Prison." Dan Heng looked seriously into his eyes, giving him a guarantee.
"I will never evade the sins that belong to me."
"I hope those words come from the bottom of your heart." Leon indicated that he'd better truly feel that way.
"But regardless of whether it's sincere, I hope you remember one thing: in this world, there is no right or wrong, only whose fist is bigger."
Leon had always believed in this philosophy.
"You can certainly evade your sins, provided you possess enough ability."
In this Galaxy filled with madmen, the only true logic is having sufficiently high stats yourself.
"Do your best, Dan Heng."
Hearing his name, Dan Heng was momentarily touched. He was the first person to call him Dan Heng, not Dan Feng.
In Leon's eyes, Dan Heng was simply someone who had to make up for what he owed; beyond that, there was nothing else. He never viewed or treated him as Dan Feng.
Whether to sever ties with a past life depends on the person themselves. If he chose to sever them, Leon would certainly respect that.
But severing is one thing; living a new life with a reborn identity is fine by him.
However, if one wants to wipe away the sins of a past life just by being reborn, then unless their stats surpass his... Otherwise, he wouldn't allow it.
"General of the Long Heavens executes a clever stratagem; Borisin and Moon Rage both stumble onto the guillotine!"
A group of Foxians from the Yaoqing loudly recited a text of gratitude that had just been compiled into the Yaoqing educational materials to express their thanks and send him off.
It almost made Leon die of cringe.
And so, amidst the reluctant farewells of the crowd, Leon took March 7th and left, and the Luofu and Yaoqing parted ways shortly after. The two Xianzhou ships returned to their respective posts as usual.
...
Adlivun.
After leaving the Xianzhou, Leon decided to continue searching for traces of the Astral Express. So, following the address given by Herta, he arrived at the place the Astral Express had visited under the personal leadership of "Akivili."
[Weekly Superpower has refreshed.]
The weekly surprise blind box had arrived. Listening to the voice in his ear, Leon reckoned it was about time. He wondered what kind of thing he would draw this time.
["Have you ever been XX? But of course!"]
[Superpower Introduction: You use superpowers to introduce? But of course!]
"What does that mean?" Leon looked at this description, unable to hold back for a moment.
"What does 'You use my superpower to introduce? But of course' mean! Is this description even right? This superpower is just like its name, huh? You're awesome. No, seriously brother, what exactly did I pull? Is it just a blank card? Can I type 1 to unsubscribe?"
Just as Leon was planning to figure out this ability himself, the system's belated explanation filled it in.
[This superpower has no specific ability.]
[Whether it is what can be done or the activation method, everything is completely random. The unknown is unknown because of its power; it relies entirely on your imagination.]
"What does that mean?" Leon looked at the supplementary description, wondering if this was some kind of "Ork logic" conceptual ability.
If it's true, then that's acceptable—straight-up meta-tier ability, you know?
However, although that's what is said. If there isn't a definitive conclusion, the power level is actually very ethereal and unstable.
The unknown is, after all, a duality of gods and ghosts. It represents a high ceiling, but it also represents a low floor.
In other words, whether it's strong or weak is completely unknown; it might be ridiculously strong, or ridiculously weak. It requires the right environment; let's just say it's passable.
[Superpower Retained.]
[You are Furong, I am not Wang.]
[Ability unchanged, trigger probability changed to refresh daily.]
Since last time, the retention of abilities has changed its form. Starting from this time, it seems an update has occurred. It omitted the proficiency leveling process and changed to a more authoritative lottery refresh.
Regarding this, Leon's evaluation is that it's quite good. With so many abilities, it would take until the year of the monkey to grind them all; he only plays games in easy mode.
"What's wrong with a lottery? If luck is good, doesn't this superpower equate to instantly blessing him with max level? Where is the child who always cries? Where is the gambler who loses every day!"
Besides, one superpower a week is enough for Leon. The reason he wants to improve other abilities is actually more because his collection addiction is acting up.
"This place looks so desolate..." March 7th raised her camera, took a picture as a memento, and said so.
Adlivun, the galaxy once hailed as the World of Gems. At the same time, it is also...
"According to Herta, this seems to be the place of Nanook's Ascension." Leon looked at the scenery before him, which resembled ruins.
All that entered his eyes was scorched black earth, as if someone had vented boundless fire entirely upon this place. On the ground, which was half-cracked and half-intact, there were still many golden flames flowing in the crevices.
Golden blood—this is precisely one of the most famous characteristics of the Aeon of "Destruction."
"Aeons" rarely bleed, or rather, no one should have ever seen an "Aeon" bleed.
Nanook, who is covered in wounds and even tore open His own chest to actively display His blood to the world, is actually the minority.
For "Aeons," such higher-dimensional beings, their healing capabilities surely can't be bad. If Nanook was willing, likely no one could make Him appear with injuries.
"Is the Astral Express that Leon is looking for really here?" March 7th asked in confusion.
Aside from the two of them, there was obviously not even a third living person here. Could they really find anything in this place?
"I don't know." Leon indicated that Heaven only knew.
Adlivun. The tragic state before their eyes was the final ending of this galaxy.
After Nanook ascended, the first step He took was to personally ignite His own hometown; it achieved His path of "Destruction."
"But Herta said the Astral Express once brought a large force here. Given the Trailblaze's nature of enjoying helping others, they should have left something behind." Leon repeated Herta's original words.
Nanook didn't become the Aeon of "Destruction" without reason.
One must know that of the three universally famous wars in the cosmos—The Swarm Disaster, the Emperor's War, and the Border Star Trade War. Two of them found their way to Nanook's hometown.
First, the "Emperor's War" left Adlivun devastated. Later, because it was unfortunately located on the "Swarm's" march route, it was implicated innocently.
Until the moment "Akivili" arrived with the Astral Express, Adlivun was still fighting a war that blotted out the sun against the offspring left behind by the Swarm King.
If "The Trailblaze" hadn't come, there is a high probability that Nanook would have died miserably at the hands of the Swarm before He could ascend.
But success was due to "The Trailblaze," and failure was also due to "The Trailblaze."
First gaining hope from despair, and then, just when you thought the days would get sweeter, misfortune found you again at that very moment.
Despair, hope, then despair again. The taste of plummeting into the abyss is what drives people crazy the most.
Especially when you thought life would really get better, taking a hit then is fatal.
"Akivili" could save Adlivun for a moment, but He couldn't save Adlivun for a lifetime.
Unless the people of Adlivun chose to board the train en masse back then, extinction was merely their predetermined ending, just a matter of sooner or later.
Of course, the fate of an "Aeon" is fixed. This is the anchoring spoken of by Nous. So the possibility of "Akivili" not coming, or Nanook abandoning His hometown to board the train, did not exist.
"But if something could be left behind, would that really still count as 'Destruction'?" March 7th made a comment on this.
Hearing this, Leon looked at her with a strange expression.
"You aren't my March; who are you?"
Could she be capable of saying something so philosophical? Don't make me laugh; Leon doubted if he was even awake.
"What do you mean!" March 7th pouted and replied with dissatisfaction.
Her emotions had been much richer lately; that sense of a pure artificial human was showing signs of fading, leaving behind joy and happiness. Perhaps practicing swordplay had opened up her meridians.
However, this was something Leon was happy to see; he certainly had no objections.
"Damn, Jing Yuan didn't lie to him; the Feng Shui of the Xianzhou really nurtures people!"
"Regardless of whether there is or isn't, coming here to look won't result in any loss anyway."
Should one say, as expected of a "Fuli" alt account? She could casually point out things regarding "Paths."
"That's true, I guess." March 7th nodded.
Obviously, she had just asked casually earlier and had no objections to his decision.
"A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water; treat a dead horse as if it were alive." Leon actually also felt it was unlikely for anything related to exist here.
Just as March 7th said earlier, if any object could be left behind, would that really still count as "Destruction"?
"There's a statue up ahead." March 7th noticed something and pointed.
"A statue?"
No way, was something really left behind?
With an attitude of getting to the bottom of things, Leon and March 7th arrived in front of the statue.
The statue was broken; there was a diagonal gap across the chest. Combined with the missing upper body, it wasn't hard to guess it had been broken by someone.
If nothing unexpected happened, that person should be Nanook. After all, the statue was charred black all over, obviously having been washed over by the fury of "Destruction."
Leon sized up the statue. From the rough outline, one could tell it was a figure statue.
However, what was strange was: why did Nanook only "Destroy" half of it? And...
"Who is this person?" Leon's sharp intuition could sense some mysterious power from this statue. This power was very familiar.
Holding this thought, he scrutinized it again carefully.
—It is "The Trailblaze."
The faint aura on the statue was exactly the same as the ticket on his person. If that was truly the case, then Leon knew the reason why it could survive under the fury of "Destruction."
"In other words, was the original model for this statue Akivili?"
Although it fell later on, Akivili did indeed save Adlivun. It was excusable for the people here to build a statue for Him.
Moreover, this was "The Trailblaze," which could be mentioned in the same breath as "Destruction." To remain unaffected and preserve itself under the wash of Nanook's fury, such heaven-defying intensity—presumably only Akivili could achieve it.
To be honest, Leon wasn't trying to slander or anything. This "Akivili" really was a succubus, right?
Leaving aside Aha, who was a fanatical solo stan, now there was the fanboy Nanook who built statues. Wow, our "Trailblaze" is simply an otome open world!
"It really is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse—stumbling into luck." He didn't expect to really let Leon find traces of the Trailblaze here; indeed, Heaven never bars one's way!
"It's a pity I came to find the Astral Express."
Finding the footprints of the Trailblaze was indeed worth celebrating, but the problem was it wasn't useful.
Leon was here to find the train wreckage. Finding a carriage would be more useful than anything, as the carriage would surely contain relevant records of the Astral Express.
He would ask Herta to help repair it then. Once repaired, perhaps he could use it as an opportunity to find where the real Astral Express was.
Leon's current goal in finding the Astral Express was mainly to return Misha's ticket.
And according to Gallagher, the ticket was issued by a figure who was the Train Conductor; in that case, the return should also be done by it.
Not a single Nameless knew the Conductor's origins, nor did anyone know how it suddenly appeared on the train.
They only knew that if the Train was there, the Conductor was there. It was like a train soul, immovable property belonging solely to the Astral Express.
To find the Conductor, then there was only one way. That way was to find the train. As long as the Astral Express was found, the Conductor would appear naturally.
Aside from this, no matter how you pursued it in the Galaxy, you couldn't find any traces related to the Conductor.
These were words Gallagher had once told him.
Given his identity as a History Fictionologist, out of respect, Leon had questioned the authenticity of this news.
'I don't know, I heard it from Mikhail.'
The final answer obtained was second-hand news.
However, Mikhail counted as half a veteran Nameless; one could rest assured in believing this kind of news.
"There seems to be something underneath this." Speaking, March 7th squatted down, pointing at a string of mysterious codes that looked like mathematical formulas at the base of the statue, and turned to tell him.
"Let me see." Leon squatted down right after her.
Then he almost blacked out and fainted.
As the saying goes, a person can do anything when pushed to the limit. But if you can't do advanced math, you just can't; if you can't solve it, you can't solve it.
"Can't understand it. What the hell is this?" Leon reached out and brushed lightly over the string of formulas.
Rather than belittling himself, he chose to slander others.
"Oh, so I failed to recognize Mount Tai; there's actually something hidden inside."
It was true that Leon couldn't understand it. But that didn't hinder his super intuition from sensing things on it that ordinary people couldn't perceive.
"'Erudition'?"
Because the superior "Trailblaze" was acting as a cover, Leon hadn't noticed it. Now, after personally investigating, he realized there was someone else under this car.
"Hmm... an 'Emanator'?" Leon carefully sensed it again; the answer he arrived at was a result he had never expected.
He wasn't unfamiliar with the aura of "Erudition." After all, he had just greeted many factions of "Erudition" not long ago. He had even killed an "Emanator."
Precisely because of this, he dared to assert. The one who left this string of formulas was definitely an Emanator of "Erudition," and one far superior to Dr. Primitive.
"It seems that besides us, someone else has been here."
Compared to the time the statue itself had existed, the time when this formula was left on it... Was very, very recent.
If this statue had existed for a thousand years, then this formula might have only been carved on it for a hundred.
"Take a picture and show it to Herta."
He couldn't understand "Erudition" stuff. To untie the bell, one needs the person who tied it. The riddle left in the formula by this "Scholar of Erudition" probably required someone from the "Erudition" faction to come solve it personally.
"Such deep 'Remembrance'..." March 7th gazed at the string of formulas, muttering to herself.
"Leon, Leon." She had an idea and immediately asked for his permission.
"What's up?" Leon took out his Jade Abacus and responded casually while taking the picture.
"Maybe I can try interpreting this formula!" March 7th volunteered.
"?" Leon wore an expression of 'What is this guy saying', suspecting his ears had heard wrong.
"How did I not know when you got that kind of capability?"
March 7th stepping onto the Path of "Erudition"? He was probably dreaming.
—
New Ultra World. Takumi Inui unexpectedly became the human host of that great adult, deciding to inherit his power to protect Earth.
However, the Galaxy was affected by unknown influences; more and more monsters appeared, and aliens were eyeing it covetously.
Fortunately, he had a power called the Villain Chat Group, allowing him to meet villains from various worlds and receive their 'help'.
Akane Shinjo: Although I create monsters to destroy the city, I am a good girl.
Talulah: Reunion fights for the rights and lives of the Infected; please do not misunderstand, everyone.
Belial: I just made a misjudgment; someone come get me out of prison, and I'll appoint you General of the Land of Light.
Kuroto Dan: Even in other worlds, you must bow down before my Godly Talents!
Takumi Inui thought for a moment and pulled out the ultimate weapon for celestial suppression.
"I brought two lives: one is me, the other is Zetton."
With the passage of time, the number of people in the group grew, and under his leadership, the villainous forces expanded continuously into various worlds.
Takumi Inui expressed helplessly that he had only wanted to find people to save the world in the beginning.
