Chen Mang's upgraded AI dominates all lower-level train civilizations effortlessly. The AI locates the distant Blue Star, evoking Chen Mang's reflections on his possible past life there and its cosmic isolation. Radar detects an injured Stellar Giant Beast—67% likely Xiaolv's mother—fleeing a Level 6 civilization's relentless train fleet, heading toward them but doomed to die within seven days without intervention, as Xiaolv grows restless.

"Level 6 Civilization..."

Chen Mang's eyes narrowed a bit, understanding it resembled the Cyan Mountain Civilization. Though Xiaolv's mother held considerable strength, a single train fleet from this level 6 civilization could eradicate her, marking it as exceptionally powerful even among equals.

"Locate the jump coordinates ahead of Xiaolv's mother and get ready to activate a wormhole."

"Yes!"

A rescue operation is obviously essential.

At the same time, unleash a test shot from the 5000-level Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon; this will satisfy the civilization promotion requirements.

His "wormhole generator" has reached level 2000.

It can form a wormhole up to 100 million light-years away, so just two jumps suffice to approach Xiaolv's mother.

Following the expenditure of 1.44 units of iron ore resources.

Two jumps were executed.

As the train emerged gradually from the wormhole, it had drawn near Xiaolv's mother. The naked eye could distinctly spot a colossal form filling the entire view, racing through the cosmos.

Its velocity was astonishingly high, but it fell short of light speed.

By ripping space with its massive gravity, it advanced through the broken voids nonstop, thus surpassing light speed dramatically.

He recognized this method from before.

He had faced a cosmic landmine of this sort previously.

Meanwhile, the pursuing train fleet kept generating wormholes one after another, sticking close to Xiaolv's mother.

Xiaolv's mother's vast bulk and extreme velocity produced gravitational forces that almost shattered all nearby space, instantly disintegrating any stars or planets in its path.

The primary casualties in this interstellar pursuit were innocent civilizations wiped out without cause.

Meanwhile——

Inside the train, Xiaolv appeared to detect something, its eyes lighting up abruptly as it gazed intently out the window.

Chen Mang knew Xiaolv's look all too well; it signaled a craving for sustenance.

Star-devouring Beasts mainly consume not planets, but Stellar Giant Beasts. Only beasts of such magnitude satisfy Xiaolv's hunger.

However...

"Utterly mad."

"You even crave eating your own mother."

Chen Mang gazed pensively at the hungry Xiaolv, noting no joy at reuniting with its mother, just pure desire for a hearty meal.

Yet shortly after.

Xiaolv inhaled deeply, its hunger fading from its eyes in an instant, supplanted by worry and unease as it kept nuzzling Chen Mang's pant leg.

"Tsk."

"Feeling panic now, are you?"

Chen Mang let out a helpless sigh, reclining against the chair's backrest, and then remarked offhandedly while eyeing the Doppler radar-locked train fleet: "Instruct Xiaolv's mother to evade."

The instant after——

The Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon atop the Constant Star Train started charging slowly, set to 5000-level power!

The train's stored iron ore began depleting at a furious rate.

A single blast alone devoured 10 units of the train's iron ore.

"Train Captain, I could just hack in and seize control of all those trains directly."

"No need."

Chen Mang shook his head. "We still must meet the civilization promotion criteria."

Without further delay, he slammed the red button on the control panel!

"Boom!"

Silence reigned in the universe, but the explosion echoed thunderously in his thoughts.

A blazing crimson beam lanced toward Xiaolv's mother, akin to a higher-dimensional civilization unleashing a dimension reduction assault on inferiors, as Xiaolv's mother swiftly shrank to Xiaolv's size to dodge the strike.

The beam arrived at the trailing train fleet in a flash.

Energy Shields flared up at once, only to shatter immediately.

The 5000-level Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon's beam morphed into a horrifying pitch-black Black Hole en route to its mark, obliterating all in proximity. The train fleet stood no chance and was utterly annihilated.

Incredibly straightforward.

Incredibly savage.

Sheer overwhelming superiority.

...

Fifteen minutes passed.

Chen Mang lounged within the Constant Star Train, observing the two spherical green orbs on the floor—one tiny, one huge. The tiny one was Xiaolv; the huge one, its mother.

Speech was beyond them.

Right then, the bigger green orb kept nudging against Xiaolv, expressionless, yet radiating profound soul-level delight and thrill.

Xiaolv started off bewildered but soon sensed the affectionate vibe and reciprocated warmly.

"That's nice."

From his seat, Chen Mang gazed upon the touching spectacle. Xiaolv achieved a flawless conclusion, reuniting with its long-missing mother by the tale's end, as the mother at last discovered her offspring.

It was truly heart-stirring.

Over those long years of hunting for her child, countless civilizations likely crumbled away with Xiaolv.

"Ai, are you able to talk with Xiaolv's mother?"

"Not exactly talking, it's more of a soul-to-soul link; just basic info gets through, such as friendly vibes, no hostility, simple motions forward. Complicated commands I can't send, and even if I did, she wouldn't get them."

"The smarts of Stellar Giant Beasts lag a bit behind humans."

"Hmm."

With a nod, Chen Mang said, "From now on, Xiaolv's mother joins the train too; have Xiaolv lay out the train rules for her, especially the top one: no arbitrary shape-shifting within the train."
