Starry Sky Railway: Starting with a furious outburst at Aha

Chapter 136 Pure Beauty, Immortal Boat, Your Emperor Has Returned

“However,” Peter changed the subject, “the Immortal Ship Alliance has already joined forces with Luofu a day ago. Now, Luofu Immortal Ship is surrounded by warships on guard. It would be bad for our main force to get too close, so we can only send one person to join Silver Branch.”

“But if Zhou Yuan is already dead, is it still necessary for us to go?” someone asked.

“Of course it’s necessary.” Peter shook his head without hesitation.

"The purpose of this trip is, firstly, to find a way to borrow Lady Idrila's energy to solve the problem of the Knights' weakness, and secondly, to praise Zhou Yuan's pure and beautiful actions."

"Even though Zhou Yuan has passed away, we should still mourn him... Besides, who says that ability must have belonged to Zhou Yuan? Could it be the ability of the Star Train?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

“I’ve made up my mind. You can go, Fang Zheng.” At this moment, Peter suddenly raised his hand, pointed to Zhou Yuan on one side of the round table, and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, even Zhou Yuan himself was taken aback.

No one could have imagined that such an important mission for the Pure Knights would be entrusted to a newcomer.

"Captain..."

The captain tried to speak, but Peter immediately interrupted him.

"I know everyone is wondering why we chose Mr. Fang Zheng. The reason is very simple."

"Because he is strong enough."

Peter glanced around the round table: "Besides Lord Fangzheng and Lord Yinzhi, who among you is confident enough to act alone?"

Walking on the path of pure beauty is destined to be fraught with uncertainty, especially now that even the path of destiny has taken an abnormal turn.

They dared not resist; if they encountered the enemy, they would surely die.

The group looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to raise any further questions.

“In that case, let’s adjourn the meeting,” Peter said, standing up first. “Igor will stay, and the other captains can go and make preparations.”

"Someone, take Fangzheng down to make preparations for boarding the immortal ship."

Throughout the entire meeting, Zhou Yuan remained silent. He realized: wasn't his goal simply to return to the Immortal Ship?

So he nodded and accepted the task of mourning himself, and left the meeting room led by a knight.

Seeing that no one else was around, Igor opened his mouth to speak, but Peter raised his hand to stop him:

"I know you're confused... come with me."

Led by Peter, the two bypassed layers of restrictions and arrived at a secret room in the main ship's cockpit.

“Igor, you are the most devout follower of the Pure Star God in the Order. After I pass away, you will lead the Knights. Therefore, there are some things I need to tell you,” Peter said softly.

"In fact, the Knights already existed long before the Pure Beauty Star God ascended to godhood."

Peter, true to his word, immediately revealed a startling secret.

"Ms. Idrila was the original leader."

“…” Igor stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Peter continued:

"The first vice-captain, moved by Lady Idrila's good deeds, decided to follow her and founded the Pure Knights. In the countless Amber Ages that followed, Lady Idrila ascended to godhood, and vice-captains came and went..."

“Sorry for digressing,” Peter shook his head, ending his reminiscence. “Actually, Ms. Idrila was initially thought to be a man.”

"Huh???" Igor stared wide-eyed in confusion.

“When the first vice-captain met Lady Idrila, she was in the form of a man. It wasn’t until she ascended to godhood that everyone learned her true gender.” As he spoke, Peter carefully took out a piece of parchment from a hidden compartment in the secret room.

"The appearance of the Star Goddess is difficult to record, but the appearance she once disguised was drawn on parchment by the first vice-captain."

Peter gave up his spot, and Igor eagerly moved closer to the parchment.

Immersed in the pure and beautiful power of successive deputy commanders, the parchment is well preserved, its luster as smooth as if coated with wax. Igor marveled at the parchment's integrity before quickly focusing on the brightly colored, realistic portrait on it.

When he saw the person's face clearly, he was struck dumb as if by lightning, his expression completely stunned.

That was Zhou Yuan's current appearance on it!

“Fang Zheng??? He…I…” Igor stammered, unable to utter a single sentence for a long time.

“Don’t be nervous,” Peter said with a smile, trying to calm him down. “At first, I also thought I was just getting old and my eyesight was failing me.”

"But it turns out that wasn't the case; he was standing right in front of us, alive and well."

"This...this is too..." Igor emerged from his shock, then succumbed to boundless excitement. "Ms. Idrisla's inspection has arrived?"

This contains a myriad of emotions: the honor of meeting the star god in person, the joy of the end of suffering, and the satisfaction of having one's wishes fulfilled.

"Don't get too excited yet; it's too early to draw conclusions," Peter said, offering a timely dose of reality.

"Given the current time period and location, there are two possibilities for this situation: one, Ms. Idrila has reappeared in the world; two, he also has similar parchment and may be a descendant of the first vice-captain... Let's hope it's the former."

"Otherwise, the reason why he has never been born before, but now appears here in this form, is quite intriguing."

After a brief moment of thought, Igor regained his composure and asked:

"Then why let him carry out such an important mission alone?"

"If he really has ulterior motives and actually gets that ability, it might not be a good thing for us, right?"

“Who said it was just him?” Peter smiled slightly. “Have you forgotten about Silverbrush?”

“Yinzhi’s intuition is always very accurate. I will let him test the waters first. Until the results are in, we will treat Fang Zheng as an ordinary Pure Beauty Traveler.”

“Alright.” Igor nodded, chatted with Peter for a few more minutes, quickly composed himself, and left the secret room.

......

After a period of sailing, the Pure Beauty Knights arrived tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Immortal Boat Alliance.

Soon, a small aircraft detached from the main ship and flew towards the Luofu Immortal Ship.

Zhou Yuan was sitting inside the aircraft. He was by the window, with the vast universe as a backdrop, holding up the cell phone given to him by the Knights and connecting to the Immortal Boat Miscellaneous Records.

He began to carefully peruse the articles in the "posthumous" Xianzhou Miscellany.

Within half an hour of Zhou Yuan's "death," members of the Returning to the Horizon faction discovered that he bore a striking resemblance to the silhouette of the First Emperor and began to proclaim that the First Emperor had been resurrected to save the people of Luofu from their suffering.

Following this, stills of Joo Won in "The Legend of the Immortal Boat" also appeared online.

People exclaimed, "As expected of the First Emperor, he personally participated in such entertainment, just to keep us away from evil influences..."

This analysis went viral on Luofu, and although there was no official response, it was indirectly confirmed through several tweets.

"We will forever cherish the memory of our respected friend and reliable comrade-in-arms, Mr. Zhou Yuan. May he transform into a spring breeze and roam freely throughout the world. —Luofu Immortal Boat"

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, the serial broadcast of 'The Legend of Immortal Boat' will be suspended immediately. —Luofu Immortal Boat"

"Effective immediately, the Immortal Ship Alliance will suspend its pursuit of the Abundant Beasts and set its sights on annihilating the Great Monarch Star Howl. —Radiant Azure Immortal Ship"

What else needs to be said? Look how anxious the higher-ups are!

Zhou Yuan was indeed a celestial being! He was none other than the First Emperor!

In an instant, a wave of commemoration for Zhou Yuan swept through the immortal ship, and even his previous act of crashing his star raft into the immortal ship was forgiven by the people.

"There's no such thing as random collisions! It must be that the ancestors thought the feng shui of that place was bad!! Tear it down immediately!"

What they didn't know was that their revered "First Emperor" twitched at the sight of this chaos:

"...Divine gold."
