He paused and recalled, "Recently, because we have had a lot of contact, I happened to have interacted with a fellow tribesman under his command. Out of racial habit, we confirmed each other's aura imprints at that time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng's gaze sharpened. "You can sense him?"

Huang Yu immediately closed his eyes, and a very faint dark purple halo appeared around his body. This was the characteristic of the Majin Clan when mobilizing soul perception. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He carefully captured that extremely minute fluctuation of the tribal imprint left during their contact.

The carriage was silent as everyone held their breath and waited.

A moment later, Huang Yu opened his eyes, his face showing clear surprise and confirmation:

"I sensed it... although it's very distant and extremely weak, as if separated by a thick veil, it... exists!

He isn't dead. In fact, my sensing doesn't suggest he's in a critical state. It's just that his position is elusive and hard to lock onto, as if... he's constantly moving or in an unstable space."

"This indicates that Ye Liangchen is at least safe for now," Leng Ningxue concluded, her tone also carrying a hint of disbelief.

"Not just safe," Liu San rubbed his chin, his eyes flashing with brilliance. "The fact that Huang Yu's sensing works means they might have truly succeeded in'stowing away' to some place and are still active.

This path... could it really be feasible?"

Bai Cheng remained silent for a moment, digesting this unexpected but powerful corroborating evidence.

Ye Liangchen's train had not dissipated, the system gave no broadcast, and Huang Yu had confirmed his survival through his racial talent.

All these clues seemed to point vaguely toward the same subversive possibility—breaking away from the system's preset tracks was not necessarily a death sentence.

She looked up, her gaze sweeping over the stockpiled supplies, energy cores, and partially undamaged equipment on Ye Liangchen's train that hadn't been taken yet, and said decisively:

"Since the system hasn't handled this train, nor has it reclaimed it by judging it as 'ownerless' or 'abandoned,' it exists in a gray area of the rules."

Her gaze fell on Liu San. "Liu San, it's a waste to leave Ye Liangchen's supplies here. Take them all."

Liu San was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily. "Understood! I'll clean it out."

He immediately called several of his team members to begin efficiently counting and moving the items.

This was undoubtedly a windfall, which could greatly replenish the resources they had consumed during the bitter battle.

Bai Cheng took one last look at Ye Liangchen's silent train and turned toward the carriage exit.

"Regardless of where the path Ye Liangchen chose leads, at least he has temporarily jumped out of the game. As for us,"

She turned back and said to the people following her, her voice calm yet filled with power,

"We have chosen to continue along our current path. The truth, the missions, the destination... we need to face and reveal everything ourselves."

Everyone returned to Bai Cheng's train.

Liu San's squad also completed the resource transfer with incredible efficiency and boarded their own train.

This time, Bai Cheng personally started the train.

The motor ran, and the train slowly pulled away from the valley that still carried the lingering scent of chaotic energy.

Outside the window, the bizarre terrain where lava, frost, and Rainforest intertwined gradually receded, finally sinking below the unchanging, dim skyline.

Ye Liangchen's train was left alone in place, like a silent coordinate marking a crazy departure and a choice not yet covered by system rules.

Meanwhile, Bai Cheng's train carried everyone's doubts, gains, and unwavering determination, following the system's guidance that had become clear again on the detection console, steaming steadily toward the next unknown station.

The road ahead was still shrouded in mist, but at least for now, they knew that on the fork of fate, there was more than just one possibility.

【Congratulations to everyone for successfully completing the clearing mission. Next, the train will travel for a long time until it enters the Infinite Realm!】

【Please be ready at any time and prepare to welcome new challenges!】

The prompt on the system was still hanging on the screen, but after this incident, no matter how they looked at system messages, it was no longer as ordinary as before.

It, the system, was originally thought to be just a program, but who would have thought it could be a living being?

At the thought that It was monitoring every Survivor every moment, Bai Cheng couldn't help but feel a chilling dread upon deeper reflection.

The train's speed had been increased to the maximum. With a speed of over four hundred kilometers per hour, even a distance of ten thousand kilometers from the target wouldn't take more than a few days if they traveled non-stop day and night.

But everyone still remembered what the system said: they would be traveling for a long time.

As for exactly how long 'a long time' was, no one knew.

Bai Cheng also tried to check the detection console to see if she could find any useful information, but she was shocked to find that the detection console was currently a complete blank.

There were no prompts for the next platform, no notifications of abnormal status, and even no distance display.

The train was advancing toward the depths of this world according to a set track; they could not control the direction, could not slow down, and certainly could not stop.

At this moment, Bai Cheng also seemed to truly believe what that man had said.

They were nothing more than pawns in the hands of the system.

But since she had chosen this path, Bai Cheng believed that after entering the Infinite Realm, there would surely be a way to resolve this crisis.

During this period, Bai Cheng even considered the possibility that she and Liu San's group might lose contact, so she specifically instructed Liu San to tell the Outpost City to stabilize the people's hearts internally.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Since leaving the valley, the train had not traversed any terrain, let alone entered a platform.

It passed through the Green Grassland, followed by the Dark Forest, Muddy Swamp, Frigid Snow Mountain, Lava Volcano, then the Deathly Rainforest, the Endless Sea, the Death Desert, and finally to the current Cloud Heaven Sea.

The train's energy had become infinite, carrying everyone through all the regions they had /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ once reached.

These scenes were like a revolving lantern, constantly deepening the impressions in everyone's minds.

And now they had arrived at the last piece of terrain in the Outer Realm. Bai Cheng knew they were not far from entering the Infinite Realm.

Everyone had long been prepared, and Yu Nian was even more excited and eager to try.

"What do you think the world inside the Infinite Realm is like?"

Leng Ningxue shook her head, and Bai Cheng also spread her hands. "Who knows."

"Opportunities, dangers, or some kind of different scenery."

This was all the speculation the group had regarding this mysterious area.

But now they could be certain of at least one thing, which was also the most important point.

In the Outer Realm, the King Level was already the peak. Lvdou had once said she had no way to make any further improvements, which meant her cultivation had reached its end.

But according to the talent of an Immortal Level Employee, how could that be possible?

Not to mention that everyone was absolutely certain of the existence of a level above the King Level; they had even witnessed it with their own eyes.

Everyone could only wait quietly until Silent Night descended...
