System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 951 - 357: The Celestial Palace Emerges

"I’ve seen that space fluctuation before."

"After a creature dies, there’s a chance this kind of space fluctuation occurs, it’s the soul returning to the Second Cosmos..."

"Which means—"

"Little Fatty’s father’s soul seems to have truly gone to the Second Cosmos."

"How is that possible?"

Chen Mang frowned and said: "The explosion wasn’t that powerful, but it was a blast of Cosmic Forbidden Items. Wouldn’t such a blast destroy a soul?"

If a human were killed by a bomb of such power, the soul is most likely to remain intact.

"Theoretically, yes," Ai also continued strangely: "But... Little Fatty’s father has two souls, though they’re two people, the souls are the same."

"Because there’s no precedent in my database, I’m unclear on the specifics, but it seems some incredible event occurred that kept Little Fatty’s father’s soul intact."

"And both souls are completely intact, then merged into one."

"Together they went to the Second Cosmos."

Chen Mang felt a bit bewildered upon hearing this....

"What will happen? Does one plus one equal two?"

"Not sure."

"But one thing is certain, Little Fatty does have a chance to see his father in the Second Cosmos, and this probability isn’t small." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"..."

Chen Mang’s mouth twitched slightly, this was beyond his knowledge: "This isn’t normal, is it?"

"Not normal."

"Preliminary deductions suggest that the Cosmic Rules divided the Forbidden Items into four parts, specifically—"

"The Past State of Little Fatty’s father’s body, and the Present State of Little Fatty’s father’s body."

"The Past State of Little Fatty’s father’s soul, and the Present State of Little Fatty’s father’s soul."

"When the four collided with each other."

"The body exploded."

"The soul fused."

"..."

Chen Mang looked up at the Celestial Palace that covered the entire planet. He felt slightly relieved, otherwise he would feel like he was responsible for killing Little Fatty’s father. Being alive in the Second Cosmos is still being alive; as long as he’s alive, there’s hope.

As long as he finds Little Fatty’s father later, he can bring him to the First Cosmos anytime.

Equivalent to a kind of revival.

And what’s most important to him now is to explore this Celestial Palace.

He then lowered his head to look at a copper key in his hand, which Little Fatty’s father gave him. This is the first Cosmic Forbidden Item since the Celestial Palace appeared, and Little Fatty’s father suspected the copper key might have some connection with the Celestial Palace, so he kept it safe, until he met Chen Mang and handed it to him personally.

Getting to the Celestial Palace is simple.

When Little Fatty’s father was still alive, he used his connections to get a green card for a research lab, allowing him to enter the Celestial Palace openly through the guards at the entrance with the identity of the Nami Civilization’s research institute.

...

When the train landed at the entrance to the Celestial Palace.

The sight was utterly breathtaking.

The first thing that came into view were nine gigantic pillars.

This Celestial Palace rivaled a planet in size, and far surpassed a planet in mass, its visual oppression was immediately intimidating to the mind. The massive Fixed Star train seemed incredibly insignificant in front of the Celestial Palace.

The sound was speeding across the ground at the sky entrance.

The pillars were covered with totem patterns, extremely large and clear, visible to the naked eye even from afar.

And the Celestial Palace seemed to have some kind of technology inside.

Despite the long distance, visibility was extremely clear.

"..."

Chen Mang sat inside the train room, pushed the control lever, squinted his eyes slightly, and gazed at the gradually approaching entrance of the Celestial Palace. Suddenly he was curious: "Ai, are Doba and the others really about to complete the Celestial Palace’s construction?"

"What kind of materials are they using?"

"With so many materials, they would need to hollow out several planets, and how is the power source designed to support the Celestial Palace?"

"Has the goblin race’s technology reached this level?"

Just seven years have passed.

Isn’t this change a bit too fast?

Soon, Ai’s voice echoed in the train room: "Reply to Train Captain, I’m not very sure about the specifics, I’m asking Doba now, but I know a bit, they applied for a batch of Cyber Mining Machines seven years ago."

"Many materials were acquired through the Cyber Mining Machines."

"And the goblin race is inherently skilled in construction."

Next.

Ai paused a moment before continuing: "Doba shared his database with me. In there, 99% of the materials have ’growth properties,’ the initial entity wasn’t this large."

"The goblin race modularized the entire ’Celestial Palace.’ They divided it into 999999 modules through blueprints, and after assembling these nearly 100 million modules, the Celestial Palace was formed."

"The main material is called ’star mud.’

"This is a special material that grows continuously after experiencing abnormal time fluctuations, becoming enormous and extremely solid."

"The goblin race acquired ’star mud’ through Cyber Mines, then used their innate ability to ignore the effect of time flow within Time Rift, took the star mud into the Time Rift until it grew large enough, then brought it out and placed it in the modular structure to form part of the ’Celestial Palace.’

"And..."

...

Ai went on at length.

Chen Mang understood half of it, and as the train passed through the Celestial Palace entrance checkpoint, he didn’t venture further. Instead, he stopped the train and headed to Water Blue Star, ready to see Doba and the others’ progress and methods in person.
