Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 268 Sunday: I think a 7-day weekend is the right way...

Human nature is something that no living being can perfectly calculate.

The believers of [Order] must have wonderful ideas.

But what human nature can least tolerate is beauty.

Indeed, when faced with something "beautiful," most people's first thought is to "destroy" it.

This is not an overreaction, but rather an inherent flaw in human nature.

"After saying all that, I still want to ask, what kind of life do you think constitutes happiness?"

Yun asked curiously.

On Sunday, he replied: "We must teach the weak how to live happily, and this living is not about being particular, but about the absolute way of human survival."

...To forcefully demand that others live "in a certain way"?

What a boring life.

No wonder Taiyi was being chased and beaten by a group of gods. Although his actions avoided conflict to some extent, they also prevented the birth of other destined travelers.

If you're too controlling, someone will eventually take you down.

"I hope to bring the happiness of all beings under a single 'order,' so that people no longer have to make bitter choices, no longer have to confront the weaknesses of human nature, and can abandon the bad habits of beasts, thus creating a paradise for humankind."

On Sunday, his tone became increasingly firm.

It felt like they were brainwashing me while they were talking.

But Yunzhi couldn't help but complain: "No need to make a choice? Just for that point alone, the other star gods wouldn't allow Taiyi to reappear—although your thoughts don't represent His."

Although the Star God doesn't need to care whether he has followers... who would complain about having too many people doing the work?

[Order] The first thing they say is "no need to choose" and "because there is only one choice"... Where does that leave the other destinies?

Lan sighed as well: "The idea is good, can you give me an example?"

"You should only be aware that some societies have a system of 'two-day weekends' or 'three-day weekends'."

Yun nodded: "Is there a problem?"

Is it incomprehensible to take a break after working for a period of time?

"On hard-won days off, people are able to escape the pressures of life and return to peace of mind."

Yunzhi: No... Shouldn't this be a great opportunity to overtake others?

Recalling what my teachers often said when I was still in school a long, long time ago, looking at the environment of Yunzhitao here—it seems quite suitable.

"Only on such days can people not face the law of the jungle and live happily for these few days. It's just a pity that two or three days and nights is still too short a life."

Yun nodded: "Indeed, every holiday makes time fly by."

Arashi agreed, saying, "It was the same a long time ago, when I was still in school."

Nobody likes reading, but the point is, reading is very important.

It's really important.

Otherwise, Yunzhi wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to get Lan into the school.

"So you mean...?"

The clouds look towards Sunday.

The boy with wings had a look of longing in his eyes:

"In my view, the ideal system of society should be a 'seven-day weekend,' where the day after Sunday is the second, third, and even the eternal Sunday—this is the face of the new world, a day of eternal peace and inactivity."

Yunzhi: ⊙ω⊙.

"Thus, everyone can return to their original place in Paradise. Some gaze at the Milky Way, intently calculating the distance between us and the isolated world of Pegasus. Others embrace each other in a corner, without having to bear unnecessary guilt... nor suffer the pain of reality. Only in this way can humanity face its destined end with the noblest attitude and live a life full of dignity. This is 'living happily'."

Sunday's lecture has come to an end.

For a moment, all around was silent.

They weren't sure whether they were amazed by Sunday's whimsical ideas or simply didn't know where to begin criticizing Sunday's daydreams.

This is truly a pipe dream.

March 7th covered his head: "So...so flawless."

There are so many vulnerabilities that it's hard to know where to start poking at them; at first glance, it seems flawless.

There are so many flaws that I don't even know where to begin.

Himeko opened her mouth, unsure of how to refute.

Walter recalled a grand plan he had heard about in the past, and then compared the leaders of both sides...

Well, I still feel there's not much to compare.

Gallagher went to the side to fiddle with a lighter.

Xingzai, who was less than a year old, knew something was wrong, but the memories of being less than a year old in her mind made it impossible for her to say anything shocking or outrageous in response.

But overall, Sunday did indeed shake the clouds.

Yunzhi at the beginning: I won't understand you!

The current Yunzhi: I still don't want to understand, but...

He remained silent for a long while.

But this deathly silence did not last long.

"I said, Lan..."

Yun finally spoke, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips:

"How about... we go and ask Hipenu to try to bring Taiyi back?"

We really don't want to understand Sundays...

But that's a seven-day weekend!

Lan: ...

Unrestrained laughter reached my ears, seemingly very close.

When did Ahha come back?

----------------

Meanwhile, the Star Train, parked outside—

Danheng was preparing to enter Pinocchio with Portio.

After all, knowing that his friends were in danger, he simply couldn't sit still.

But just as he picked up the Thundercloud and prepared to leave the train...

A starship from the Immortal Ship Alliance appeared in sight at an incredible speed.

Dan Heng was taken aback.

Potio has already spoken:

"Holy crap... Why are people from the Immortal Boat Alliance here? Is the Second Leader going to make a move against Pinocchio?"

Danheng was speechless. =_=

"If this was an order from below, then Yao Qing, who is most skilled in combat, should be the one to arrive now, not some small Star Chariot."

"That's true."

Potio didn't go up to greet it; he just looked at the starship with curiosity.

The starship was already anchored outside Pinocchio, and Dan Heng recognized the person who disembarked from it.

"Are they from the Ten Kings' Division?"

The newcomer was none other than Xueyi, the judge of the Ten Kings Division whom I had met once before.

Why...why would the Ten Kings' Division come here?
