In carriage No. 1 of the Canaan, Ash and his seven companions directly booked the entire business carriage.
After everyone sat down, Wei Xi suddenly took out seven pendants and said, "Each of you wear one."
Ash took it and examined it. It looked like a cheap item from a roadside stall. The chain was almost fading. "What is this?"
"The thread of the heart." Vichy said, "First, let me ask you a question - do you know how big the world is?"
Ash: "Virtual world and reality?"
Harvey: "Between life and death?"
Rose counted on her fingers: "If we use the Canaan as the base unit, it would be about 6 trillion Canaans?"
Fili was stunned: "Six trillion trillion...how much is it?"
"That's six trillion trillion." Rose looked at the little lamb as if he were an idiot.
"Mr. Vichy, you are referring to the spiritual world, right?" Igula said.
Vichy nodded: "In the spiritual realm, how big the world is depends on your inner cognition. Even if you know the existence of a place you have never been to, it does not exist in your world. For example, Ash, you seem to have not been to the Land of the Deep and the Land of Paradise. Although they exist in reality, your spiritual world does not include them."
"I think, therefore I am. I see, therefore that exists. We cannot measure reality, but our mind is in our control."
Vichy pointed at Ash and said, "If you want his soul heaven to overflow the Star Kingdom instantly, you need him to cast the soul heaven faster than the mysterious chain. The triggering time of the mysterious chain is about one second, so Ash's soul must cross the cities of the Star Kingdom within one second, almost as fast as light... But how can he do it as fast as light?"
Ash then realized the difficulty of this task and said thoughtfully: "We can only rely on a miracle, right?"
"No, even without miracles, we ordinary people can be as fast as light." Vichy said thoughtfully: "Sir Vichy, do you mean... thinking?"
"That's right, thinking can transcend everything." Weishi smiled, "As long as I flip through my memory a little, I can go back to when I was a child thousands of years ago, back to the long-destroyed twilight land... Time, space, entropy, death, reality, these insignificant forces cannot stop the penetration of thinking."
"With just the magic spirit in my hand, it is impossible for your soul to instantly cross the stars, Ash, and there is no need to go to such trouble. What you need to do is not to expand your soul to those cities, but to incorporate those cities into your spiritual world."
Ash nodded confusedly: "Then how do I incorporate those cities into the spiritual world?"
Wei Xi raised his eyebrows: "You probably didn't stay in Jialeshi for a long time, but you should have a deep impression of Jialeshi, right?"
"Of course, Jian Ji often talks to us about..."
Ash understood halfway through.
"How big your world is depends on how many unforgettable memories you have and how many unforgettable friends you have." Weishi said: "Because Jialeshi has Jian Ji, there will always be a place for Jialeshi in your spiritual world."
"So my ritual is necessary, but you are more important." Vishi said slowly, "After all, according to Ash's aesthetic level, he can only remember the city through eating, drinking and having fun. But eating and drinking will digest, and having fun will fade away. After we go around the stars, I'm afraid he will only remember the last city he visited."
Ash said stubbornly: "I can also remember the charm of the city by appreciating its landscape and historical heritage!"
"So I thought of a better way." Vichy supported his chin and smiled, "Ash can't remember the city, but he will remember this journey with you and the memories with you."
"Whether Ash can incorporate those cities into his spiritual world depends on whether you can leave him with unforgettable memories."
"I understand." Harvey said seriously: "I will let Ash remember the cemetery in every city!"
"Then I will be responsible for taking Ash to borrow money from rich people everywhere." Igula said lazily.
"Are we traveling around the country or committing crimes across the country?" Ash knelt down.
Fili murmured: "Unforgettable..."
"Memories..." Nia pulled the brim of her fisherman's hat.
Rose thought for a moment and said, "I've read a paper that mentioned that pain is far more profound than happiness. For example, childhood trauma can haunt a person's entire life. If we want to use pain to deepen memory, in order to prevent confusion, we can inflict specific pain on Ash in each city. For example, he has a total of twenty fingers and toes, so he can remember twenty cities -"
"I will try my best to leave good memories with you!" Ash said firmly, "Let's just get along well on this trip!"
"The effect of the pendant is that it makes it easier for us to communicate with each other." Weishi said, "But because the effect is very weak and not obvious, there is no need to worry about triggering the mysterious chain."
"Ugh..." Ash immediately said in disgust: "Then can Harvey, Igula and you please stop wearing them..."
"No." Wei Xi smiled and said, "I am looking forward to communicating with my master."
Igula said slowly, "As a psychic, I can't refuse the opportunity to peek into my patients' inner world. As a friend, I'm also curious about how you rank your inner "Love List". Who is the first and the last?"
"Aunt Borgin, you are such a gossip..."
Harvey was about to take off the pendant, but when he saw this, he put it back on silently.
Ash sighed and slid down the seat. He looked sideways and saw Fili holding the pendant tightly with a red face, as if to speed up the process of telepathy. He couldn't help but chuckle.
When Fili heard his laughter, she glanced at Ash, but then she couldn't help laughing and looked at him and giggled.
Because the seat was a little slippery, Ash wanted to look for the button to adjust the seat, but found that the button was hidden in the handle, as hidden as a missile button. At this time, he saw Nia also slipping off the seat and sitting in a very uncomfortable position.
He thought about it, and then he called the staff to come in and ask where the seat adjustment button was and how to adjust it. After the staff left, Yaxiu saw that Nia had quietly adjusted the seat and was comfortably leaning against the leather backrest.
The Canaan started slowly, and after the acceleration phase, the business car was as smooth as walking on flat ground, and not even the water was rippled.
Wei Xi suddenly said: "But, Ash, have you really decided?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Although it was my suggestion, do you really want to use the Soul Heaven to break through the Starry Sky Curtain?"
"Of course." Ash said, "This is the only way to save the stars. As long as the stars can stay, our Hell Poison can continue to be delayed. Why do you still have questions?"
"That's true for us," Vichy said, "but not necessarily for you."
Ash lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "This topic ends here."
"Wait!" Fili stood up suddenly: "What does Sister Vichy mean? Why might this not be a good thing for Ash?"
"If my master doesn't allow me to say it, I won't say it." Vichy shrugged.
"Don't listen to Vichy's madness." Ash said, "The internet speed here is good, everyone can play with their phones."
"The reason is very simple." Igula suddenly said: "Ash used Soul Heaven to break through the Starry Sky Curtain, which means that his Soul Heaven will be exposed to the whole world. You may not understand it, but the value of Soul Heaven is equivalent to Ash having the key to become the king of the world."
"Not only ordinary magicians, but even the gods will covet his spiritual paradise."
"More importantly, if the Source Angel escapes, he will ruin the plan of the Star Lord and even offend the other four God Lords who are waiting for the opportunity. From the perspective of interests, he is of great value to the five God Lords; from the perspective of emotions, the five God Lords would like to eat his flesh and sleep on his bones."
"There will be no place for him in the five kingdoms. Hell will be filled with demons coveting him, and heaven will be filled with gods cursing him. There will be no place for him to hide, and the whole world will be his enemy, and there will be no peace."
Igula took a sip of water and said slowly: "To be a magician to this extent is unprecedented."
"Let's put it this way." Wei Xi said slowly, "Back then, I slaughtered all living beings and committed all kinds of evil. Countless mortals cursed me, and demigods were everywhere plotting against me. It can be said that I was surrounded by ambushes and every step was frightening. But compared with Ash's future situation, I was just playing house back then."
"Compared to offending the five great gods, the Hell Poison is nothing."
"It's not that serious." Ash said, "I can still hide in the Kingdom of a Thousand Wishes."
"By that time, will you be willing to 'involve' the Thousand Wishes Kingdom?" Wei Xi said with a smile, "And can you really solve the secret poison of hell? The Starry Lord may let a few of us go in and out of the stars freely, but will He really watch you, the culprit, use the mysterious chain to delay the secret poison?"
Fili and Nia stared at Ash in a daze. They had never thought about this... They had no idea how dangerous the world outside was, and they didn't know that the destruction of the stars was the wish of countless magicians.
When the stars are bound to the source angels, they are destined to become stepping stones for the great wheel of history. Now that Ash is saving the stars, it is equivalent to turning the stepping stones into roadblocks, abruptly blocking the progress of the great wheel of history, and naturally he will face the counterattack of the historical trend.
"...What about staying in the stars!?" Fili came up with an idea: "If Ash stays in the stars, can he avoid those dangers?"
"In fact, it's okay if we don't save the world." Niya put her feet on the seat and hugged her legs tightly: "Anyway, he..."
They waited for Ash's answer, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled at them with a hint of apology in his eyes.
When they saw this look, they understood.
Ash will still save the stars, but he won't stay here.
He saved the stars for Fili, for Nia, for Rose, for Igula and Harvey, and even for the people of the stars, and perhaps a little bit for Vichy.
He went back for Sword Lady and Witch, as well as all the people waiting for him.
Ash turned his head and looked at the starry sky outside.
Fili held the pendant tightly and looked up at the starry sky.
Nia curled up in her seat, her bucket hat completely hiding her little face.
Igula closed his eyes and rested.
At this moment, the pendants of the four of them glowed slightly, imprinting the image of them at that moment into the pendants.
"Congratulations."
Wei Xi said leisurely: "You have successfully left behind an unforgettable and beautiful memory."
…
…
"Hey, it's really him, isn't it?"
“That’s right!”
"I didn't expect it to be Mr. Heath! Is he traveling with his girlfriend?"
"But which one is his girlfriend?"
"Mr. Heath's friend is also good-looking. Let me deliver the blond handsome guy's meal later!"
"Wait, how do you know for sure he's a guy?"
"Let me deliver the black-skinned, curly-haired one. I like this type."
Several flight attendants were chatting while walking through the carriage connection. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side: "A glass of 100% freshly squeezed juice, thank you."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The flight attendant looked down and was immediately impressed: Although he was wearing a very cheap shirt and jacket, his well-defined and muscular body made the clothes look majestic. The cap held down his messy blond hair and his face was full of stubble, but it still couldn't hide his handsomeness. Age had deprived him of his immaturity, but it also gave him a maturity that was almost sexy, which made the flight attendant's heart beat fast.
There are so many handsome guys on this train!
When the flight attendant turned to leave, he decided to put his mobile phone number under the cup and hand it to the blond handsome uncle. The blond handsome uncle then stuck his head out and took a look at the partition door between the business class and first class seats.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and he answered it, "What's up?"
"Where are you?"
"I went traveling."
"Stop it, where is it?"
“High-speed rail.”
"… You've been researching for more than ten years, haven't you researched enough? Can't even the stars satisfy your desire to survive in the wild? What the hell are you doing traveling? Get back here!"
“No time.”
"Vosloda, I command you in the name of the Night King—"
"My phone is dead."
"Just tell me where you're going! I'll come find you!"
"I don't know either."
"ah?"
Vosloda hung up the phone and was about to continue observing when he saw the partition door open and Fili came out. He immediately shrank back and pulled down the brim of his hat. He pricked up his ears and heard Fili chatting with the flight attendant: "...Please bring a few towel blankets. By the way, how much weight can the business class seat bear? If two people lie down, will it be okay?"
"..." Vosloda curled his lips and put on headphones.
