On the Astral Express, the Conductor was cleaning the carriage as he had for a hundred years, seemingly intent on maintaining this work for eternity.
Parlor Car.
"So this is the legendary Astral Express?!"
Lumine looked curiously at everything before her eyes, things she had previously only seen in a game. Unconsciously, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.
Compared to the stench of money everywhere in Penacony, this rather simple-looking Astral Express was the "Holy Land" she yearned for in her heart.
"I've finally properly boarded this legendary train!"
"If I weren't more inclined to travel and Trailblaze freely across the stars, I would really like to travel and Trailblaze on the Astral Express for a while."
Lumine had also left Penacony. The power of the Path of Trailblaze within her body resonated faintly with this train. She felt that on this train, her perception of the Path of Trailblaze had become much clearer.
This was a direct boost from affinity. For a Destiny Walker walking upon the Path of Trailblaze, the benefits could well be imagined.
However... "Perhaps I can use the Astral Express to start exploring my own Great Authority of Trailblaze?"
Lumine pondered silently in her heart.
As a member of the Chat Group, she possessed unique advantages in walking the Path of Trailblaze.
Although there was still quite a distance to go before she could self-coronate on the Path of Trailblaze, Lumine did not dare to relax in the slightest.
According to Hermes' guidance, the step of self-coronation was crucial. Waiting until reaching the critical point to think about one's Path would be too late... How many brilliant top-tier Destiny Walkers had fallen at this very step?!
"But speaking of which, Miss Himeko, is it alright for you not to be on Penacony?"
Hexi could faintly sense that Penacony was quite lively right now.
While Kaesa, Zhi Xin, and Yan were on Penacony gathering data and conducting research, Hexi had come to the train with Lumine and the others.
Although the plot on Penacony had become a mess because of Hermes, the main framework hadn't changed. Even if Sunday and the others were wary of the many geniuses currently on Penacony, they still hadn't given up on their plan.
"Of course it's no problem."
A confident smile appeared on Himeko's face. The current Astral Express Crew was terrifyingly strong. She believed that under the leadership of the mature and steady Welt, they were more than capable of crushing any conspiracy.
"I believe Welt and the others can handle things properly."
In contrast, she was more interested in these friends of Hermes.
Angels following the Path of genetic ascension, a young girl who was an incarnation of a phoenix and possessed divinity, a Trailblazer who wasn't a Trailblaze Emissary but had some unknown Great Authority brewing within her body... and the cute little one sitting quietly on the sofa in the Parlor Car. In this little one, Himeko sensed an all-encompassing... fire?!
This simply made her too curious.
Just where did Hermes meet all these people?
Seemingly noticing the curious glint in Himeko's eyes, Lumine and the others looked at each other, their faces simultaneously showing a playful expression.
Lumine blinked and said with a smile, "We've known Hermes for a while. We originally thought his female lead was Cyrene, who is currently in Amphoreus."
"I didn't expect..."
She was the most popular female lead in the work "Infinite Möbius"!
Although the plot for Hermes, who had joined the Chat Group, was completely different from the original story.
Many in the Chat Group agreed that once Hermes reached his level of strength, it was impossible for him to be completely unfamiliar with it.
In fact, it was more likely that this timeline had already begun to merge and unify.
Therefore, it didn't matter if the Hermes of this space-time didn't know Cyrene; if the Hermes of another space-time knew her, it was the same.
"Cyrene?"
Himeko was slightly stunned upon hearing this, a strange look appearing on her face as she said, "The one like little March? I remember she and Hermes don't seem to know each other yet?"
Just as Lumine and the others were looking playful and about to say something... "Hahahahaha~"
An orange mask manifested in the train, followed by countless sounds of laughter, infant cries, chirps as clear and melodious as a lark, and a spine-chilling absurdity.
"Aha knows the answer to this question!"
"In that terrifying river of time, this fellow Hermes didn't hesitate to shoulder the entire Path of Remembrance for a girl named Cyrene!"
"Back then, this guy was single-mindedly devoted only to 'her'!"
Lumine, Lumine, and the others looked up abruptly at this uninvited mask, their eyes wide as they said in unison, "How do you know these things?"
"Hahaha~ Of course Aha knows!"
The feeling of Elation on the mask grew even more intense. Even Little Binchotan could sense the thick joy emanating from it. It was as if Aha had held this in for a long time with no one to share it with:
"At that time, that Ouroboros with its head and tail connected was truly too scary... too scary for Aha!"
"This guy actually changed the course of the multi-temporal river for that girl. If there wasn't something deeply etched in here..."
"Oh? If there wasn't something what in here?"
Just as Lumine and the others were listening with great interest, ready to hear some of Hermes' secret history, a faint voice appeared in the Parlor Car, causing the talkative Aha to stop abruptly.
Aha stiffly turned around and fell silent upon seeing that faint phantom.
"Speak, why did you stop talking?"
Hermes gazed at this long-lost First Emissary of Trailblaze and his own dear group members, his eyes dark.
The source power of the Path of Remembrance, which had not yet been completely refined, began to playfully rush out of Hermes' emerald eyes, running wildly through the train carriage.
The starry sky was inscribed by the power of Remembrance, reflecting another world. This world possessed everything the The Universe had... It seemed that as long as Hermes was willing, with a gentle snip to remove the corresponding existence in this memory, the corresponding thing in reality would also be edited out... This was the Path of Remembrance, one of the factors for the destruction of the The Universe!
"He... Hehe..."
Lumine laughed sheepishly. "Hermes, Aha did all of this. He was the one talking behind your back. This has nothing to do with me!"
Lumine reacted even faster, quickly jumping onto the sofa and pulling Little Binchotan into her arms to shield her, while simultaneously whispering something in the little one's ear.
