Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 186 The Key of Restraint: "The Oath of Judah"

The system notification sounded in my mind.

Before Lin Qiong could react, a brand new power suddenly surged within his body.

He remained frozen in his grip on the pocket watch, a look of shock and surprise inexplicably appearing on his face.

"So fast?" Lin Qiong exclaimed inwardly.

Lin Qiong originally thought that in order to unlock the "Harmony" destiny, he would at least have to get the "Harmony" star god Xipe to look at him.

Just like when he unlocked the "Abundance" destiny and obtained the Black Abyss White Flower.

however.

This time, the situation seems to be different.

He only came into contact with the pocket watch left behind by the watchmaker, but unexpectedly the system's reward mechanism was immediately triggered. The whole process did not even attract the attention of the Star God.

"This system is really hard to figure out."

Lin Qiong muttered to himself, shaking his head helplessly.

Just then, Xing, who was fiddling with her hat, noticed Lin Qiong shaking his head.

A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she immediately asked:

"Qiong, it seems you're not very interested in this pocket watch. How about I trade you my hat for it?"

As she spoke, she took off the hat she was wearing and gestured towards Lin Qiong.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems that Xing misunderstood his reaction to the system as a lack of interest in the pocket watch.

He quickly waved his hand and clarified, "No, that's not true. I'm very satisfied with this pocket watch. I was just thinking about something else."

To enhance his persuasiveness, Lin Qiong even quickly put the pocket watch into his pocket.

Seeing this, Xing could only nod, then put her hat back on and stopped worrying about the issue.

......

After successfully clearing up this small misunderstanding.

Lin Qiong couldn't wait to show off the power he had just gained from the system.

"Following past practice, this should also be a Divine Key. Now let me see who you are."

With anticipation and curiosity in his eyes, Lin Qiong slowly raised his right hand and began to channel the energy within his body into his palm.

If the Heavenly Fire Judgment emits a blazing red light when it is condensed, then the Black Abyss White Flower is presented with a vibrant green light when it is summoned.

When constructing the Divine Key that belongs to the power of "harmony," Lin Qiong's hand emitted a yellow light that could bring all things to a standstill.

As the yellow light in his hand grew brighter, Lin Qiong's brows gradually furrowed.

He could feel the weight on his right hand increasing with the flashes of yellow light.

And the next second.

Lin Qiong's right side suddenly sank, as if something heavy was pulling him toward the ground.

"Holy crap...!!"

Lin Qiong cried out in surprise, losing his balance and tilting to the right.

At the same time, a strong tremor spread from the ground, followed by the dull thud of a heavy object falling.

"Boom!"

at the same time.

Hearing the commotion, everyone else present turned their attention to Lin Qiong.

Wow, what a huge cross!

March 7th exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening as she stared in disbelief at the enormous object Lin Qiong was holding in his right hand.

The cross was taller than a person, with exquisite carvings on it, and it emitted a faint golden light under the illumination.

"I never expected it to be this thing, it's made my hands numb."

Lin Qiong released his grip on the cross and shook his arm, trying to relieve the soreness.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at the huge cross standing beside him, his expression showing both surprise and helplessness.

"The eleventh key of the gods—the 'Key of Binding,' the Oath of Judah," Lin Qiong murmured softly.

To his surprise, the divine key summoned by the power of the "Harmony" destiny was actually Judas.

Looking at Judas in front of him, Lin Qiong tried to lift him up with his right hand alone.

Even though he exerted all his strength, and his arms were trembling uncontrollably, he could only barely move Judah a little distance.

This was precisely what frustrated Lin Qiong—the weight of Judah far exceeded his expectations...

Just as Lin Qiong was about to try again with both hands.

The others suddenly gathered around, their faces showing curiosity.

"Qiong, is this... your new weapon?"

As Xing walked around Judah, he asked Lin Qiong questions, occasionally reaching out to touch its surface.

"Pretty much." Lin Qiong nodded, tapped the shell of Judah with his hand, and said, "The Oath of Judah, isn't it cool?"

"Hmm... Rather than being handsome, I think it's more like a delicate work of art." Himeko's lips curled up into a gentle smile.

"I completely agree, that's what I think too!"

On March 7th, holding a camera, he excitedly circled around Judah, pressing the shutter from various angles to record every detail.

"This angle is good, let's send it to Danheng and the others."

After saying that, March 7 immediately selected two photos that she was most satisfied with, sent them to the chat group via her mobile phone, and added a sentence.

March 7th: [The new power of the sky and stars, please witness it!]

"Ding dong."

The moment the message was sent on March 7th, other people's phones started ringing with message notifications.

Lin Qiong took out his phone and browsed the two photos that he had just shared in the group on March 7.

One of the photos was taken on March 7th, at some unknown time.

In the photo, Xing is wearing a watchmaker's hat and striking a cool pose.

Another photograph clearly shows the full picture of Judah.

A short while later.

Pam's message popped up.

Pam: [Congratulations to both of you! You've once again taken a significant step forward on the path of "pioneering."]

Pam then added a funny emoji of her making a heart shape with her ears.

Following Pam's emoji was Danheng's brief reply, which only displayed three words.

【not bad.】

Seeing this, Lin Qiong shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself:

"Dan Heng is usually so sparing with his words, but he's like this in group chat too. Sigh."

Just then.

The group chat notification sounded again, attracting Lin Qiong's attention.

He scrolled down the screen and found that the new message was from Walter Young, who had gone to see the dreamer on Sunday.

Strangely, the message wasn't text, but a long string of question marks.

Walter Young: [? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

Perhaps it's inconvenient to send a message.

Walter Young copied the photo of Judah that he had shared before March 7th, reposted it in the group, and added a longer string of question marks below it.

"Is Uncle Yang playing some kind of riddle game with us?"

Looking at the question mark on the screen, March 7 scratched his head in confusion, then turned to ask the people around him.

Upon hearing this question, Himeko and Hoshi both shook their heads, expressing their confusion about the message sent by Welt Young.

Knowing the reason, Lin Qiong couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and laugh.

He could already picture the incredible expression on Walter Young's face when he saw Judas.
