Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 76 Awakening

As his consciousness faded, Lin Qiong fell into a deep coma.

He could hear his companions' calls fading into the distance.

Although he was unable to move his body, he could feel that his body was enveloped by a raging fire.

It felt as if a tongue of fire was constantly licking his internal organs, and the burning pain made it almost impossible for Lin Qiong to breathe.

Am I... going to die?

Is this the price to pay for unleashing the Heavenly Fire?

Memories from the past began to surface in Lin Qiong's mind.

The shock of arriving in this world for the first time, the thrill of facing the apocalyptic beasts, the joy of boarding the train, and the exhilaration of fighting alongside companions.

All of this played out repeatedly in Lin Qiong's mind like a movie.

At least... the moment when the Heavenly Fire Judgment was released, I was able to briefly experience Kevin the Ancestor's account, so this wasn't a complete loss.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.

I really want to...continue exploring this vast starry sky...

As the burning sensation within his body intensified, Lin Qiong's consciousness gradually began to fade, the intense pain rendering him almost unable to think.

Every minute and every second felt like being relentlessly devoured by flames, gradually dragging him into the abyss of death.

Just as he began to lose consciousness, a massive surge of energy instantly entered his body.

Like parched land suddenly receiving a torrential downpour, it nourished every dry corner.

Under the influence of this energy, the intense burning sensation gradually subsided, and the fading consciousness slowly began to awaken.

Lin Qiong could feel his body slowly recovering, and an unprecedented power was surging within him.

What's going on here?

This sudden change left Lin Qiong very puzzled.

Just as he was trying to sort out the situation, a tiny cracking sound rang in his ears.

"Click".

As the sound rang out, a strange crack suddenly appeared in this endless darkness.

The crack resembled a mirror that had been shattered by a heavy blow, its surface covered with countless curved and complex marks.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything began to slow down.

This feeling was very familiar to Lin Qiong; it seemed that this scene had also occurred in the Black Tower's simulated universe.

Just as Lin Qiong was thinking this, a dazzling beam of light shone out from the crack.

After the colorful light faded, a blue figure wearing a crown and made entirely of crystal slowly solidified before him.

The moment Lin Qiong saw Him, he immediately recognized Him as Fu Li, the star god who held the destiny of "memory".

Noticing His gaze, Lin Qiong also looked at Fu Li and made brief eye contact with Him.

Then, the man and the god just stared at each other, saying nothing and doing nothing.

After a short while, Fu Li gradually disappeared from Lin Qiong's sight.

what's the situation?

This phenomenon left Lin Qiong somewhat puzzled. The "Memory" Star God came out, glanced at him, and then left?

The system notification did not sound, which meant that he had not received a glance from Fu Li.

What's Fu Li doing here?

Just as Lin Qiong was thinking this, he faintly heard a muffled conversation.

"Old witch... sister... big brother... when... will you wake up?" a childish voice asked.

"Well... it's hard to say... it should be soon," another, slightly more composed voice replied, but there was also a hint of uncertainty in its tone.

"His...body...is so cold." The childish voice rang out again, filled with surprise.

As consciousness slowly returned, Lin Qiong tried to open his heavy eyes, wanting to figure out what was happening around him.

With a blinding flash of light, his blurred vision began to clear, and his eyes gradually adjusted to the bright surroundings.

When Lin Qiong opened his eyes, he saw a familiar ceiling, and the pungent smell of medicine filled the air.

"Where am I? Am I not dead?"

Lin Qiong sprang up from the bed, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Big brother, are you awake?"

Just then, a childish voice came from the side, its tone filled with surprise.

Hearing the sound, Lin Qiong looked in the direction of the sound and found Hu Ke standing by the bed, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Hook? What are you doing...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Hook skipped and hopped towards the door, shouting, "Old Witch... Sister Natasha, Big Brother is awake!"

Seeing this, Lin Qiong was completely stunned.

What's going on? Wasn't I fighting Cocolia on Everwinter Ridge?

How did we end up in the lower level?

Before he could even process the situation, a teasing voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, came from the direction of the door.

"Hey, our great hero has finally woken up?"

As he finished speaking, Sang Bo slowly walked towards Lin Qiong, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Wow, that's impressive, buddy. You blew up Everwinter Ridge along with the Creation Engine. The whole of Beloborg could hear the commotion from there."

Sangbo gave Lin Qiong a thumbs up, his tone full of admiration.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

"I blew up Yongdong Ridge? Shouldn't I be dead?"

Sambo shrugged and spread his hands: "Well... I'm not too sure either. Anyway, shortly after the explosion, your group of friends came here to find the boss without your knowledge."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's doubts deepened.

He only remembered that he passed out after using the zero rated power of the Heavenly Judgment, and had no idea what happened during the time he was unconscious.

Could it be that... Natasha can cure the corruption of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire?

With this question in mind, Lin Qiong asked Sang Bo, "Where are they?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clinic door was pushed open with a bang, and a gust of cold air rushed in, causing the temperature in the room to drop slightly.

"Look, here they are!"

Seeing this, Sangbo gestured towards the door with his lip.

Lin Qiong then turned his gaze to the doorway, where he saw Xing, San Yueqi, and Dan Heng walking in with hurried steps.

At this moment, a visible worry was etched on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiong felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

They've only known each other for a short time, but they already consider me an indispensable part of the Star Train. It feels amazing.

However, just as Lin Qiong was thinking this, someone he didn't expect slowly walked in from outside the door.

Finished!

The moment Lin Qiong saw him, his heart sank, and those two words involuntarily flashed through his mind.

He slowly approached Lin Qiong's bedside, gently pushed up his glasses, and looked at Lin Qiong with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Awake? Is anything bothering you?"

He spoke softly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern.

"Uh...no." Lin Qiong shook his head stiffly, trying to make his voice sound normal. "By the way, Mr. Walter, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Walter Young remained silent, but instead silently took out a pair of exquisite pistols and placed them in front of Lin Qiong.

"Let's put that aside for now. What I'm more interested in is...where did you get them?"
