Chapter 901: Mo Shi’s Saint Card

The outside world remained in chaos.

But at the entrance to a restaurant in Utopia City,

a roadblock had been set up.

Even passersby and Train Conductors who were smashing, looting, and pillaging all steered clear of this restaurant.

And Ye Qiyan had become one of the only three customers inside.

“Hey, Ye Qiyan, haven’t I gotten really strong?”

The blue-haired girl with a ponytail was, in truth, the Abyss, a powerful but not particularly bright pinnacle among the Wasteland Species. Now, she went by Shen Yuan.

She puffed out her chest, proudly presenting a Light Screen to Ye Qiyan.

“Look, I got the upgrade binding in just one upgrade option. Even she hasn’t gotten it.”

Shen Yuan’s voice brimmed with pride.

She showed Ye Qiyan all of her personal info without the slightest attempt to hide anything.

【Name: Shen Yuan】

【Race: Human/Abyss】

【Train Level: Level 10】

【Talent: Abyss】

【Train Conductor ID: A-0-1】

【Exclusive Ultimate Module: Abyssal Door】

【Advanced Enhancement Module: [Contract-Erosion Lock]】

【Abyss-Eroded Creatures: [Electromagnetic Puppet β] [Flying Right Glove] [Ghost Pirate Ship] [Treant].....】

As a Train Conductor, Shen Yuan was really no different from her true self.

Defeat her opponents, collect interesting lifeforms, and make them her subordinates.

In a sense, she was rather similar to Ye Qiyan’s Gluttony.

But unlike before, the Abyss no longer erased the wills of the lifeforms she collected.

She had realized that, a lot of the time, she actually won more easily when she didn’t control them.

Compared to how she used to hide forever in the Abyss Realm, never communicating with other living beings and only secretly watching the various worlds, capturing any interesting creatures she found,

she now got to explore the Station Worlds herself every day, and was experiencing far more joy than before.

“So, what do you think, Ye Qiyan? Am I impressive? My Train Level reached Level 10 so quickly. I’ve even bought every upgrade option from Level 1 onward.

“Give it a little more time, and you might not be able to beat me!”

Halfway through Shen Yuan’s boast, the girl sitting beside her, whose eyes glittered with one upright and one inverted black cross-shaped star, smilingly raised her hand and rapped her at lightning speed.

“Ow...”

“Hmm?”

“I’m sorry!”

“That’s more like it.”

The master of the Death Realm.

【Death】

Mo Shi.

Perhaps the first being in the entire Wasteland to become a Human Train Conductor in her true form.

Her true strength was unknown, but even among the pinnacles of the Wasteland, she could probably rank near the top.

Now,

she was human.

Ye Qiyan sipped his drink from his cup as he watched the two interact. It was hard to imagine what the haughty Shen Yuan had gone through to be trained into someone like this.

Mo Shi paid no attention to Shen Yuan’s muttering. Resting her chin on one hand, she stared straight into Ye Qiyan’s eyes with keen interest.

“You’ve grown even faster than I expected.”

“Have I?”

“You have. At the very least, I didn’t expect you to defeat a body controlled by a pinnacle’s will. You were rather indistinct on the moon, but to put it in human terms...

“Hmm...

“Exciting? Or... likable? Oh, sorry~ I should say, promising.”

She was doing it on purpose.

Even Shen Yuan never got human language wrong.

“So, is that all you wanted to tell me?”

“Of course not.”

Mo Shi gently shook her head, lightly swirling the wine in her glass as she smiled.

“Emperor’s Order, right? I really like that name. Would you let me join?”

Ye Qiyan paused, but didn’t reject her outright.

“So, you got a Card Sequence?”

“Mm, I can show you.”

Without even waiting for his reply, Mo Shi pulled a black-and-red card from a card case at her waist.

Engraved on its face was a group of faceless beings gazing up at a red sun.

Light and shadow seemed to ripple across the red sun.

Just one glance was enough to feel the vibrant life contained within the card.

Wait, life?

Mo Shi pushed the card in front of Ye Qiyan, smiling as she watched him.

“System binding really is simple and convenient. Too bad I can’t just cheat whenever I want. I still have to wait until it shows up in my upgrade options.”

As she spoke, Shen Yuan, sitting beside her, smugly narrowed her eyes, pleased that she had obtained the System Binding Module before Mo Shi.

Ye Qiyan looked at the card.

A tiny Black Serpent slipped from his fingertips. The moment it touched the card, a System Appraisal Light Screen appeared in front of him.

【Saint Card: Gazing at the Red Sun】

【Saint: The Crimson Sun, illuminating the beginning of life】

【Red Sun: At the end of life, the Red Sun shall remember】

【xxx: ......Why?】

【???: He, why is He in the Wasteland?】

【Note: The red sun has already gone out. The Saint holding the card uses the Red Sun to illuminate Heaven】

A Saint Card?

A Card Sequence he had never heard of.

At least, Ye Qiyan had never heard of one.

Even in the public libraries of many cities, there was no information about the 【Saint Card】.

But regardless,

Death and a Saint?

That combination was truly...

“How is it? Not bad, right? Once I defeat myself, I’ll hang the sun in this card above the Death Realm. Then you’ll be more comfortable living there too, heh~”

“Hey! No, that won’t do. Ye Qiyan has to come with me to the Abyss Realm!”

Shen Yuan protested from the side. Even though Mo Shi frightened her a little, she absolutely wouldn’t back down when it came to getting Ye Qiyan.

“Enough.”

Ye Qiyan pushed the Saint Card back toward Mo Shi.

“It’s a nice card, but it’s nowhere near as good as mine.”

He said no more.

Whether it was the Death Realm or the Abyss Realm,

he would go there.

But he wouldn’t be dragged there by these two. He would find them aboard his own Train, defeat them, and surpass them.

That was Ye Qiyan’s ambition, and his desire.

As Train Conductors, Mo Shi and Shen Yuan had advanced quickly.

But compared to him, they still had a long way to go.

“Hmm... No, Ye Qiyan. My card will definitely be the best. Don’t wait for me. I’ll collect more of them, then condense them into a Ring just like you. When I catch up to you, I’ll challenge you.”

Mo Shi’s eyes, too, were filled with desire, utterly genuine.

It was desire for Ye Qiyan, and desire to collect Card Sequences.

As 【Death】,

she had never possessed a Card Sequence in the past.

She couldn’t say whether such a thing was powerful or not.

But it was simply far too interesting.

So interesting that she really wanted to get more~

Beside them, Shen Yuan sneaked a glance at the card in Mo Shi’s hand and muttered quietly to herself.

【“Ye Qiyan seems to like this sort of thing too, and he’s always using them. Hmm... It’d be great if I could find one too. No, I definitely will! I’m the... second-strongest True God, after all!”】
