Jin Rou looked at Sylvianna after hearing this as if he had seen something odd. In response to this expression, the latter asked, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"That's unusual. You're pitying the dark elves now?" Jin Rou asked. Sylvianna was born to be arrogant and prideful. Pity was not in their family's vocabulary.

"No, I just find it unfair for the dark elves." Sylvianna said. She had no feud with the elves so she felt this a bit.

"You cannot save everyone even if you have the chance." Jin Rou answered, "Saving is for the weak, Sylvianna. I'm not the type who will save anyone who's in danger."

That's true. Han Li had been that way and would always be. It was too cruel but that's how Han Li lived his ways until now. Likewise, Jin Rou's principles run this way. The dark elves were the first one to break the promise, and it's high time they pay for their mistakes.

Factly speaking, the fate of the elves was still generous in a way. They were fated to perish along with the island yet some important figures survived. Jin Rou was already being nice by saving those lives.

Sylvianna didn't comment on this. It was already a matter of one's principles and she had no say about it. The person in front of her managed to survive for trillions of years, even witnessing their glory in the distant past. The lives he had had honed him to be this way.

Perhaps, it was also one of the reasons why many were afraid of Han Li.

Worlds were alive because there were people in it living. Just like beliefs, they were alive because people were believing on them. Morals, the good and bad, the right or wrong, only the living had the right to choose what is and what's not.

"The Dark Train will be the last trip before we reach that place. Be sure to be ready." Jin Rou said. They were on their way towards the place where most people were afraid of.

-

The Darkest Road was a myth created by many mouths in the distant past. It was revised and revised once again until it had been exaggerated. Until now, it remained as a legend as it hadn't been able to be proven true. As a matter of fact, only a very few existences knew the reality of the place.

Jin Rou and Sylvianna were finally here. Because of Five Swords' information, things got easier for Jin Rou. Saving their lives for this wasn't a bad deal at all.

The place had single way road with no source of light to find. Everything was pure darkness as if things here were born from this.

Furthermore, the darkness energy here was suffocating, enough to kill high ranked beings. Obviously, this place wasn't meant for breathing things.

"This place is really real." Sylvianna gasped a bit. Despite her living for so long, it was the first time she had proven that Darkest Road was existing.

"Your father knew that this place existed." Jin Rou smirked.

Factly speaking, her father had traveled this road in the distant past. Unfortunately, he wasn't yet strong enough thus he returned.

Sylvianna didn't say more. She wasn't surprised that her family knew this area.

The duo had walked the road for who knew how long. Time was insignificant in this location so they took their time. Moreover, Jin Rou was observing the darkness as if he was waiting for something.

At last, they reached a 'station'. There was no personnel or whatsoever, it was just an active 'station' which was being waited by passengers, albeit it hadn't that fondly and busy looking appearance.

"This is where we will wait for the train?" Sylvianna asked.

"Yes. The other stations are already consumed and this is the last station surviving." Jin Rou smirked, "Look forward for the journey. It will open your eyes more."

"Wang! Wang!" After seven hours more, a sound of an engine could be heard. Sylvianna looked at the origin of the sound and saw a large black train getting out of devoid space.

"What..." The Dark Train appeared so gigantic that their naked eyes could fully see the whole. Sylvianna looked dumbfounded as she stared at the stopping train in front of them.

"Interesting." Jin Rou smiled. The large train door opened, gesturing their entry.

-

The inside of the train was a brand new world for them. Who would expect that there's a world inside the humongous train?

Soon, a panda appeared in their sight with a creepy grin, "Welcome to the Dark Train, esteemed guests! It has been a while since we have gotten a passenger so according to the train rules, we will be giving a 'New Passenger Privilege' to each of you."

"The New Passenger Privilege is a right you can use whenever your lives are in danger. Once used, the vice admins of the train will personally come to save you! But beware, the right can only be used once. So be sure to save it when it's necessary!"

"What the hell is this?" Sylvianna smacked her lips, "You think we will play your game?"

"Child of Blackmauve, don't think you can be arrogant here." The panda's cute voice turned sinister and deep, "If not for the person next to you, you aren't even qualified to jump aboard."

"You..." Sylvianna wanted to attack but her movements were restricted for some unknown reason.

historical

She wasn't able to move.

"All right, that's enough." Jin Rou intervened, "She is with me so just let it go for once."

The panda looked at Jin Rou and paused for a moment before saying, "Hmph."

It looked displeased. But it had no choice. The man had already spoken, after all.

"Be careful. I told you your eyes will open more in this place." Jin Rou told.

"This is your first time too here, right?" Sylvianna asked.

"Yes, but I have read many books regarding the place so it isn't surprising for me." Jin Rou said. Han Li had spent extravagant resources for countless times to get books regarding the place. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible.

Through the years, he accumulated enough information regarding the Dark Train. The last thing to do was to hop on it and experience the world.
