The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 198 Ah-ha is Sun, Entering the Sky Island
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" March 7th asked.

"Based on our simulations and explorations of the parallel universe theory, overall it should be more beneficial than harmful, making our world more stable and powerful as a result."

"Without the Star God anchoring time and space, the foreseeable spacetime would be riddled with holes, giving birth to countless parallel worlds. And the birth of each parallel world would take away a bit of the world's origin. Over time, the world's origin would become more and more fragile."

"Specifically, this manifests as decreasing material strength, making space easier to break, and time easier to traverse. While the power of the strong may appear to increase, their essence actually weakens," Himeko said.

"In other words, if we unfortunately end up in a world that destroys a parallel universe at the drop of a hat, we don't need to panic, because it might just be that the world is too fragile, rather than that it's really that strong?" Meng Huaifeng said, stroking his chin.

"That's right. A powerful being who controls countless parallel worlds sounds very strong, and is actually quite powerful as well. However, there may be some differences between what you imagine. It's even possible that you could do the same in such a world."

"Of course, we cannot let this make us lose our caution or become complacent, because some are indeed powerful. In short, each world needs to be analyzed specifically, and our simulations and discussions may contain errors," Himeko cautioned.

“I understand. We should not be arrogant because we are strong, nor fearful because we are weak,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"Hmm." Himeko nodded in satisfaction.

A huge shadow suddenly loomed over the Skyfall Justice. Everyone looked up and saw a dilapidated ship on the verge of breaking apart falling from the sky toward them.

"The Wall of Sighs!"

With a single stroke of the sword on March 7th, a massive, sloping ice surface enveloped the ship.

The wrecked ship crashed onto the ice and completely disintegrated, sliding into the sea.

"boom!"

Xing crashed headfirst into the ice on March 7th.

What are you doing in March?

"Why don't I ask Ah Xing what you're doing?"

"I'll go catch that ship."

"I'll stop that ship."

"Can't you guys have a little more teamwork?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"No time for nonsense, the ship is about to sink. March, quickly remove the ice wall, I need to see if there's anything good up there," Xing said anxiously.

On March 7th, the six phases of ice controlled the disintegrating ship that had fallen into the sea, and the ice wall partially disintegrated.

Xing couldn't wait to fly over and start picking them up.

"How could a boat fall from the sky?" Su Xiaoli looked up at the sky.

“We’ve entered the waters near Gaya Island. In this area, huge, towering currents erupt from time to time. This ship was probably unlucky enough to come right above a towering current and was then swept into the sky by the sudden surge, landing right here with us.” Himeko’s reading of books in the libraries on various islands wasn’t for nothing.

“I remember Shanks mentioned that the Sky Island was located in the skies near Jaya Island,” Danheng said.

When Shanks introduced them to the unique islands in the ocean, he mentioned the Sky Island and told them its general location and how to get there.

"Sky Island?" After Dan Heng reminded him, March 7th remembered and quickly looked up to observe.

“This cloud looks different from ordinary clouds. It’s exceptionally thick and opaque, and it hardly moves. The main shape of the cloud also doesn’t change at all,” Meng Huaifeng said.

Dan Heng sensed the changes in the ocean currents and said, "The most recent surge of the ocean current will likely occur in about three days, and its power will not be great. It is estimated that it can reach a height of more than 3,000 meters, which is far from the height of that sea of ​​clouds."

"Shall we just fly up there?" March 7th asked.

“I can guide and strengthen the power of the ocean current.” Dan Heng glanced at March 7.

"Uh...which method should we use?" March 7 asked Himeko.

“Of course, I want to experience how the locals get around. Danheng, I’m counting on you,” Himeko said.

Danheng guided the direction of the accumulated ocean currents and suppressed the bursting pressure, without making any further moves.

"That's enough. We expect to accumulate enough power in about a day," Dan Heng said.

If he wanted to, he could unleash it immediately, but that would be entirely a result of his control over his power.

Although there doesn't seem to be much difference in form.

"Then let's go to Gaya Island first and buy some local specialties," Himeko said.

Xing quickly finished searching and returned, but there was nothing of value.

A few hours later, we arrived at Gaya Island.

As usual, Himeko strolled around for a bit before heading to the library to read. A book by Noland, the Liar King, caught her eye.

After flipping through it in just a few minutes, Himeko shook her head slightly.

The Star Train connects all realms and allows stars to travel together because the train has the confidence and ability to counterbalance other forces; otherwise, it would have brought about an invasion and destruction.

And this Noland, leading the king's army to search for the Golden City, really didn't realize what would happen when he found it?

Would the locals allow them to take the gold? And would the king's army be willing to give it up?

Once the conflict breaks out, will he be able to stop it?

Clearly, he didn't have that ability, otherwise he wouldn't have been so easily executed by the king.

Himeko casually put the book back in its place and continued reading other books.

On the street, Meng Huaifeng carried the Phantom Gun on his back, while San Yueqi had a long sword at his waist.

They didn't have this habit before, mainly because the pirate world was so unsafe.

Displaying their weapons could have shielded them from some trouble, but unfortunately, the two of them were too friendly and harmless, and didn't seem very powerful, so they couldn't shield themselves from all trouble.

Getting rid of those flies attracted by the beautiful girl has become a daily routine for Meng Huaifeng, and he can trigger it several times no matter which island he goes to.

A few more thugs walked over with greed in their eyes.

How much could such a beautiful girl fetch if sold to slave traders?
Meng Huaifeng sighed helplessly and was about to grab the Phantom Gun.

However, the group of thugs suddenly stopped.

"This looks like... the world's greatest swordsman, March Seven!" a thug suddenly exclaimed in shock.

"What? The world's greatest swordsman?" Upon hearing the thug's words, the surrounding crowd all turned to look at March 7.

"Pink hair, girl, sword."

"Golden tickets on the hem of the dress!"

"He truly is the world's greatest swordsman!"

People watched March 7th with fervent reverence, yet dared not disturb it.

The thugs were terrified and quickly made their escape.

Before long, news of the world's greatest swordsman arriving on Gaya Island on March 7th spread throughout the entire town.

Wherever the two went, countless people watched them with admiration from afar.

Although March 7th felt a little embarrassed to have earned the title of "Fried Fish," the admiring gazes of the people still made her a little excited.

On the other side, Xing listened to the townspeople's enthusiastic discussion about the world's greatest swordsman, his face filled with envy.

No way! I want my name, the Galaxy Baseball Man, to resound throughout the ocean!
But what should we do?

East Sea, Frostmoon Village, One Heart Dojo.

As Kuina looked at the newspaper article about the world's greatest swordsman on March 7th, boundless motivation and confidence welled up within her.

They then threw themselves into intense training.

"Damn it!" Zoro gritted his teeth. He had felt that the gap between him and this woman was slowly closing, but he didn't expect that he could only last a short time against her these days.

No, I need to train even harder!
"I will definitely surpass you!" Zoro shouted in his heart.

Overwhelmed by the reputation of the world's greatest swordsman, Meng Huaifeng and March 7 spent what was arguably the friendliest and most harmonious day since arriving in the pirate world.

I will speak freely and without reservation about any issues.

The prices are extremely low, and there are free gifts with large quantities.

Everyone greeted him with smiles, which worked even better than Xing's magical mask.

The strange mask can only force a person to laugh for three seconds at most, but the people here can laugh continuously in front of two people.

Ah-ha is just lame.

Of course, there is also a drawback, which is that you can't experience the authentic local customs and culture.

But it's okay, Xing experienced it all on behalf of the two of them.

The petty thugs, scared away by the infamous March 7th, had good taste; they set their sights on the stars.

Then Xing attacked their lair and gave them a severe beating.

A day passed quickly, and the train set sail towards the location where the surging current was about to erupt.

On the way, they encountered a salvage ship. Meng Huaifeng didn't know if it was a descendant of Noland, but he didn't bother to pay them any attention.

A promise passed down for four hundred years sounds very touching.

But the thought of one side leading an army to search for Golden Township, while the other side, like a silly roe deer, was ringing a bell to guide the way, made Meng Huaifeng unable to look directly at them.

Was it you who led the Japanese into the village?

The two ships passed each other.

Upon arriving at the sea surface indicated by Danheng, Danheng released his suppression of the ocean currents.

The ocean current, which had accumulated enough power, suddenly erupted.

"boom!"

A tremendous impact sound came from the bottom of the ship, followed by a strong feeling of gravitational pull.

The ship was rapidly lifted by the impact of the flying ocean current.

"Wow!"

Those experiencing it for the first time held onto the railing and looked down in amazement, watching a sea column lift the ship upwards.

I'm not worried about falling at all.

Even the weakest of them, Su Xiaoli, wouldn't die from falling from a height of several thousand meters into the sea.

"puff!"

The ship entered the White Sea, which is seven thousand meters high. It is completely different from the ocean. The White Sea feels like cotton candy, light and soft.

It resembles clouds and mist, water and vapor; no wonder it can float in the sky.

The White Sea is not very deep. The ship quickly emerged from the surface of the White Sea. The surging current was blocked by the White Sea and gradually lost its momentum and disappeared.

"Sailing in the clouds, how wonderful!" March 7th exclaimed.

Even though the train crew was very experienced, this was the first time they had ever experienced this.

While ordinary people marvel at the wonder of this event, the science team is already studying and understanding the underlying principles.

"It doesn't seem to be naturally formed; there are traces of artificial technology," Himeko thought to herself.

But he didn't say anything that might upset other people.

Many things, once explained clearly, lose that sense of wonder and amazement.

Meng Huaifeng looked around and saw several island clouds three thousand meters above the ground.

"Sister Himeko, the Sky Island seems to be over there," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Hmm." Himeko adjusted the course.
