Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

The communicator suddenly rang, and Silver Wolf's voice came with excitement.

"Lin Yu! I've cracked the hidden message conveyed by the anchor! 'The Power of Binary Stars' refers to paired star cores, which can open a dimensional rift leading to the 'Roots of the Tree of Existence'! Furthermore, the anchor also records a message from Achievelli, who said, 'The roots of the Tree of Existence hold the secrets of the origin of the universe, and also hold the ultimate mission of the train!'"

Lin Yu looked at the star map on the dome, touched the star core on his wrist, and a new expectation surged in his heart.

The mystery of pioneering destiny has been solved, and new clues have been found.

He turned to look at the crowd, his eyes gleaming with determination. "The anchor point has given us a new direction. Next, we need to figure out how the 'Power of the Binary Stars' can open the dimensional rift and find the roots of the Tree of Existence. But for now, let's return to the train, organize the information from the anchor point, and then formulate our next plan."

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison.

When everyone walked out of the cave, daylight had already arrived in the Arctic Circle of Pegana. The sunlight shone through the cracks in the ice, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The train's shield was still running. Pam was standing at the train door, waiting anxiously. "You're finally back! How's it going? Did you find the anchor point? Are you in any danger?"

"I found it, and my pioneering destiny has been activated." Lin Yu walked forward with a smile and rubbed Pam's head. "There is no danger, everything is going well. Next, we have a new goal, to find the roots of the Tree of Existence and unlock the secret of the origin of the universe."

Pam's ears perked up instantly, and she skipped to the train, "I'll get some hot tea ready! To celebrate for you!"

Everyone looked at Pam's back and couldn't help laughing.

Ji Zi walked forward and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work, Lin Yu. Let's continue our journey together."

In the lounge of the Starry Sky Train, the warm yellow lights dispelled the chill of the Arctic Circle in Pegana.

The hot tea brewed by Pam was emitting white steam on the table. The aroma of the tea mixed with the slight hum of the train engine created a rare relaxing atmosphere.

Only Lin Yu was sitting on the sofa in the corner, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the star core seal on his wrist, his brows slightly furrowed, his thoughts already drifting away.

The lively celebration just now was still echoing in his ears, but Silver Wolf’s words, “The power of binary stars should be paired star cores,” were like a fine needle piercing his heart.

"An ordinary cancer of all worlds... shouldn't be so special, right?" Lin Yu whispered to himself, a hint of light golden pioneering energy appeared on his fingertips, and he gently touched the seal layer.

The two star cores reacted instantly. The hot one glowed red, and the cold one glowed blue. The two lights intertwined to form a fine pattern on the surface of the seal layer.

This was a scene he had never seen before. Ordinary star cores would only emit corrosive energy when approaching, and would never have such "resonance".

Not only can they coexist stably, but they can also resonate with the destiny of pioneering. This is definitely not something that "any two star cores" can do.

"Could it be that... these two star cores are not ordinary cancers of all worlds?" Lin Yu's heartbeat quickened slightly. He called up the system panel and flipped to the star core record page in his backpack.

It was only marked with "Special Star Core (Hot)" and "Special Star Core (Cold)", without any further information. The system remained silent, as if it was deliberately concealing something.

He tried to use his memory to recall the scene of obtaining the star core, and there was a faint fluctuation of "immortality".

"Akivelli's message said that the 'power of two stars' could be referring to the 'star cores related to development and immortality', rather than just any two stars?" Lin Yu suddenly understood, and the development energy at his fingertips was retracted, and the resonance of the star core also weakened.

This explains why not everyone can go to the cracks.

Ordinary star cores do not have the mark of a special destiny and cannot activate the dimensional rift of the anchor point at all. Only his two star cores that have been associated with pioneering and immortality meet the conditions of the "power of two stars".

His thoughts drifted back to the destiny list on the system panel. The icons of the fourteen destinies shone brightly on the light film, and the progress bar "14/20" was like a thorn, piercing his heart.

He ran his fingertips across the blank six-path destiny column, and the icons in the void appeared only in his eyes.

"Reproduction", "Balance", "Mystery", "End", "Immortality", and an "Unknown Destiny" that even the system has not yet labeled.

"Breeding" was the first option he crossed out.

Thinking of the locust plague around the world and those terrifying abilities that could tamper with cell division and turn it into "worm production", his stomach churned.

Even if the system forced him to issue a task, he would never choose this fate.

The absolute neutrality of the Star God of "Balance" is more difficult to obtain. He guessed that it can only be achieved if the energy level of destiny is absolutely balanced.

But among his fourteen lives now, Destruction and Gluttony have reached level 9, while Abundance and Preservation are only level 7. It will take at least some time to use Gluttony to devour and integrate them, and it is not known whether it can attract "mutual" attention.

Lin Yu guessed that the triggering condition for the "mysterious" Star God was that he could only be encountered when his consciousness was confused.

But he didn't want to deliberately put himself into an illusion for the sake of his life. If he was trapped by the "fog of thought", even the system might not be able to save him.

There are clues about "The End" and "Immortality", but you can only search for them slowly on your own.

After traveling through time for so long, sometimes the system just plays dead except for issuing tasks.

"Lin Yu? What are you thinking about?" Ji Zi's voice suddenly came. She sat down opposite him with a cup of coffee, her eyes fixed on his blank face. "I just told you about the fairy boat. Didn't you hear it?"

Lin Yu suddenly came back to his senses and quickly put away the system panel. The light blue film on his fingertips flashed and a smile appeared on his face again. "Ah... I was thinking about the star map of the anchor point just now and didn't pay attention. Can you tell me about the immortal boat again?"

"I saw records of the 'Immortal Boat Alliance' in the old train database. It's a civilization founded by the Chiming people. They hold the secrets of reincarnation and might be able to help you connect with the path to immortality." Ji Zi pushed the coffee towards him. "However, the database only has vague coordinates 'near the Dome Star Region,' so Dan Heng needs to investigate further."

"Xianzhou...Chiming Clan..." Lin Yu took the coffee and felt the warm touch on his fingertips.

He nodded in response, and the "Immortality" icon in the destiny list lit up slightly, as if confirming the feasibility of this clue.

At this time, Pam came over with a plate full of snacks, and put a piece of osmanthus cake in front of Lin Yu with her little paws.

"Lin Yu, stop being in a daze! Eat some cake! You just activated the pioneering destiny, which is a great thing! Think about those difficult things tomorrow!"

"Okay, thank you Pam." Lin Yu picked up the osmanthus cake with a smile. The moment the sweetness melted on his tongue, he suddenly felt that even if the system hid secrets and even if the destiny was difficult to collect, at least he was not fighting alone.

After traveling through time and space for so many years, he was no longer the traveler who could only rely on the golden finger, from being alone and relying on the system to saving his life, to now having friends like Ji Zi, Walter, and Dan Heng, and having the Starry Sky Train as his home.
