It has been three months since the train last refueled.

That night, Chen An discovered that only 30% of the energy was left, so he drove the train towards the star.

All the stars are stationary on top of the continent. They are not very large, only half the size of ordinary stars.

When the train approached to absorb energy, Chen An discovered that the star was not stationary, but was rotating around a core in a small range, accompanied by high-frequency vibrations.

"Fuyao, what's the principle behind this?"

[Possibly an artificial star]

Chen An suddenly realized.

He had never understood how the stars were pushed here, but now he understood that these stars were artificially created, not naturally formed.

"Stars can be artificial, but what about superstars?"

[The interior of a superstar cannot be detected]

"Undetectable means everything is possible."

About an hour later, another train arrived.

The train stopped opposite and sent a communication request to Chen An.

"Is this your five-star train?" Zhao Li asked in surprise.

Chen An replied: "Just barely five stars."

He could hear Zhao Li pretending to be surprised in his words.

The Fuyao train had been running several times before, and Zhao Li, as a neighbor, should have seen it.

Zhao Li envied him, "You're really amazing! You even have a five-star train. I've never seen a five-star train before. I remember you're from Yuancheng, and I actually lived there for a few years."

The two of them then started chatting, since they had nothing to do.

Zhao Li: "I was fostered at my grandmother's house when I was little, and finished elementary and junior high school in Yuancheng. Maybe we even went to the same school!"

Upon asking, I found out that it was indeed the same school, just with different classes.

As they were talking, Chen An asked him about his experience on the road.

Zhao Li has the potential to be a chatterbox, and he kept telling Chen An how difficult his experience was.

"After leaving Purple Star, we had no idea what we were going to face. We were terrified and lived in fear every day."

"There were no superhumans at the time, and we didn't know what to do. The train carriage was like the end of the world. People were robbing supplies and killing each other. The worst hit were the children and women, who were the most bullied."

"I organized a large group of people into an alliance, essentially for self-preservation. I never imagined I'd be able to take on the missions of a train conductor. Those missions were incredibly difficult, requiring either hunting the strongest star beasts on a planet or exploring extremely dangerous locations. My survival and becoming a train conductor wasn't entirely due to my quick wits; ninety percent was luck. Most of those who didn't become train conductors died in the process."

Chen An asked, "How many Purple Star people are there on your train?"

"Four million, maybe! The original Purple Star people died, leaving only about three hundred thousand. Then, after the other trains were destroyed, I took in their passengers, so the number has increased. It must have been pretty tough for you alone, right?"

Chen An briefly described his experience, leaving out many details.

Zhao Li exclaimed it was a miracle.

"A single train is too difficult. If we encounter danger without a partner to support us, we can easily be devoured by other civilizations. In the second year, our 3,000-plus trains encountered a civilization with only a hundred trains. They were very powerful, but we relied on numbers to prevail. So, oftentimes, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change."

Chen An was very interested in what Zhao Li said.

He turned to Fuyao and said, "If we had taken the main road, we would have encountered these wonderful things."

[Master, please don't forget a big question: how to allocate resources among so many trains?]

Chen An suddenly understood what the problem was.

Not to mention four thousand trains, even four hundred trains cannot be divided.

When being chased closely by Star Annihilation, there was not much time to search vertically and could only collect resources along the way.

Thinking of this, Chen An no longer envied the wonderful things on the main road.

Not long after, Zhao Li became very interested when talking about Lin Xia.

"Lin Xia wasn't one of the first train conductors; she seized the authority later. I heard her predecessor was brutal and bloodthirsty, not just killing star beasts and aliens, but also his own people. They couldn't stand it anymore, so they simply banded together and overthrew the conductor. From that time on, we conductors kept a close watch on our passengers, not giving them even the slightest chance."

"This woman is incredibly ruthless. She can use all sorts of tactics to deal with her enemies, making them impossible to defend against. Train conductors who make it to the Glazed Continent are no simple characters; they're either ruthless or vicious. Those who are gentle and gentle like sheep would have been eaten long ago."

"Sorry, I talked a lot when I met my fellow villagers today and I couldn't control myself."

Chen An smiled and said, "I have learned a lot from you. It's a pity that I didn't take the main road at the beginning and missed a lot of wonderful things."

"Haha, you may not want all these wonderful things. I heard that you and Barron had a conflict. If there is a conflict in the future, you can notify me. People from Purple Star are supposed to help each other when they are outside."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhao."

After the communication was disconnected, Zhao Li in the cockpit withdrew his smile and returned to his normal indifferent state.

Chen An's information was displayed on the screen, which he had bought from Lin Xia at a high price.

"So she's a top graduate of Yuancheng University, majoring in astronomy. I don't know if she's pretending to be innocent or if she's genuinely innocent, but she actually believed everything I said."

"Immediately search all the Purple Star people in the car. If there are any students from this university, pick them out. I want to get as much information as possible about Chen An."

In the Fuyao train on the opposite side of the star, Chen An was also checking Zhao Li's information, but there was not much.

"I can only believe half of what he says. The other half might be a lie. I agree with the saying that train conductors who have made it this far are either cruel or vicious, and he is definitely one of them."

If we go to war with Barron in the future, Zhao Li will most likely interfere.

"He's not just interfering; he's trying to take advantage of the situation. So we need to label Zhao Li as a hypothetical enemy and strengthen our defenses against him."

According to the terrain, Zhao Li is to the north of Barron and can participate at any time.

About six hours later, the train refueled and returned.

On the way, Fuyao detected several special spaceships.

[That's a spaceship from Bright City, heading to their own super star. The spaceship is full of Ninth-level Transcendents.]

"What do you want, Barron? Keep monitoring."

Since these super stars have lost their shielding, the star network can cover the planet.

It turned out that Barron's spacecraft had entered an undetectable dark area, which was the prison where those eyes were imprisoned.

When the train arrived at the station, Chen An had an idea.

"I understand. They want to rely on their eyes to pass the trial and find an opportunity to break through to become a Star Walker."

"Fuyao, immediately list our Nine-Layer Transcendents, for passengers only."

The list shows that there are currently about 4,000 ninth-level transcendents, most of whom are from the Sun Worship Empire.

"Select five hundred people for me, take Zhou Jiang with you, and go to Chaoxing in three hours."

"The next battle is not just about cities and trains, but also about the number of Star Walkers."

"It can be said that whoever has more Star Walkers will gain an absolute advantage."
