Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 2 Star Train

March 7th and Himeko were standing at the cabin door, dressed in escort uniforms.

"Uncle Yang, leave it to us!!" March 7th waved at the monitor.

Walter Young, standing behind the screen, said helplessly, "Okay, be careful."

After he finished speaking, he pressed a button on the control panel, and the hatch in front of Himeko and Mitsuki opened.

March 7 and Himeko leaped down and floated in space, where the girl in white stood before them.

On March 7th, somewhat excited, he immediately activated the propulsion system on the back of his escort suit and advanced towards the girl in white.

Just as they were about to reach each other, March 7th immediately reached out and hugged the girl in white, preventing her from being pushed further away due to the force of the movement.

She looked down and saw the white-clad woman's face clearly; her pupils instantly contracted.

She was a beautiful woman with white hair, wearing a white dress and a green grass-leaf hair ornament on her head. She had a slender figure and a pair of lively elf ears with slightly reddish tips, giving her a goddess-like aura.

"Oh my god... this is so beautiful..." March 7th sensed.

She had never seen such a beautiful older sister.

"Little March, what's the situation on your end?" Himeko's voice suddenly came through March 7's earpiece.

"We're alright, Himeko-neechan!!" March Seven held the woman in one arm and immediately waved to Himeko with the other.

Himeko couldn't help but smile. "Great job, Mitsuki. Now let's go back to the cabin."

On March 7th, he immediately made an "OK" sign.

Suddenly, a huge energy fluctuation came from afar, even affecting the two of them.

"What's going on?" Himeko immediately became alert.

"An unknown energy fluctuation has been detected from the asteroid belt in the distance," Walter Yang's voice came through the communicator.

"This energy fluctuation feels familiar, it's like... a star core!"

"I think we have found the reason for the instability of star orbits."

March 7th exclaimed in surprise, "What? A star core!!"

She was holding the woman in white tightly as they drifted through the cosmos.

Walter Young continued, "Be careful, the star core seems to be going berserk."

"What!!!" March 7's voice rose several octaves again.

Because of the energy fluctuations in the star core, their communication signals were affected, so what reached Walter Young's ears was a series of ghostly howls on March 7th.

"I'm stabilizing the probe now. The energy of the star's core is getting stronger and stronger, and... it seems to be heading straight for us."

"Wow!! No way, we haven't even enjoyed a few good years yet, we don't want to die!!" March 7th clung tightly to the woman in white, shouting desperately.

"Little March, watch out for the connecting rope, don't let it drift away!" Himeko immediately reminded him.

Before March 7th could even notice, a light suddenly appeared in the distant asteroid belt.

Immediately afterwards, a meteor hurtled toward them at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see.

"Oh no, it's heading straight for the train!" Walter Young said gravely, his face turning ashen.

Himeko remained silent, frantically searching for a solution in her mind.

The danger of the star core is immeasurable; if it were to collide head-on with a train, the entire star system would be destroyed.

Just when the group was at their wits' end, the high-speed star core suddenly changed its trajectory as it passed by them, heading straight for March 7th.

"Aaaaaah? What's going on? Why are they coming straight for us?"

March 7th wanted to escape, but realized that he could never outrun the speed of the Star Core.

Just when she was in despair, the woman in white in her arms suddenly emitted a dazzling green light.

"What happened?" March 7th squinted, looking utterly puzzled.

The moment the light shone, a colossal ancient tree appeared in outer space, radiating an intensely rich life force.

"This is..." Himeko was somewhat shocked.

She had never seen such a dense, tangible life energy before. If there was any possibility, the first thing that came to her mind was the God of Abundance.

Upon witnessing this scene aboard the spaceship, Welt Yang's face showed shock. "This energy aura... it really is a Herrscher..."

His expression instantly became intriguing.

At that moment, the star core rushed towards the ancient tree phantom, and in an instant, an extreme burst of light caused everyone to close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes, the star core and the giant tree had all vanished.

...............

Inside the train, Pam paced anxiously back and forth on the floor, her little hands twitching incessantly.

"Train conductor, don't worry so much, trust Uncle Yang and the others," Dan Heng said from the side.

"Of course I know, Pam, but I'm still worried..." Pam still looked worried.

Just then, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. "Hey? Passenger Danheng, is your stomachache gone?"

Danheng remained silent for a while, then covered his stomach with his hand once again.

Just then, the sound of the train door opening came; it was Himeko and the others returning.

Pam rushed out immediately, "How are you? Are you alright, Pam?"

.........

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Oh, by the way, my name is Eve, the Great Tree King of Sumeru, and the newly appointed Herrscher of Life. I once ended the era of a world with my own hands, but I also suffered the backlash of my own power and was swept into the spacetime turbulence.

And at the same time, I left her once again... my daughter Nasita...

I'm sorry, Mom didn't keep her promise.

But where am I now?

Just then, a voice came from outside.

"Is this the woman who was floating outside just now?" Dan Heng asked in confusion.

"Mmm-hmm!!" March 7th answered excitedly.

"Little March was really excited back then," Himeko joked from the side. "Well, she's still excited now."

"Pam, let me see you, you're all too tall, Pam can't see you at all!!!" Pam shouted loudly.

"Hiss, she looks like she's not going to make it. March, you give her CPR!" Dan Heng said bluntly.

"Huh? Why me?" March 7 asked, bewildered.

"Whoever brings someone back is responsible," Dan Heng said calmly.

"Then, then, then, that was brought back by Himeko... by my older sister." March Seven suddenly became anxious, looking at the person pointing out the culprit.

"Cough cough..." Himeko took a sip of coffee and remained silent.

Her meaning was already very clear: it had nothing to do with her.

"Himeko-neechan!! Why are you like this?" Mitsuki-no-Shichi said angrily.

Himeko immediately avoided March 7's gaze.

Seeing this, March 7th had no choice but to accept the reality.

“But, but I don’t know how to give CPR…” March 7 walked to Eve’s bedside.

Looking at Eve's beautiful face, for some reason, her heart suddenly fluttered.

As she was struggling with her thoughts, Danheng sighed beside her.

"Sigh, I'll do it then." Dan Heng stepped forward helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Eve suddenly opened her eyes wide.

What came into view was Dan Heng's face, and his mouth that was almost covered by a mask.

"Stop! Shut up, Danheng!!" Seeing that Eve was awake, March 7th immediately pushed Danheng's face away with his hand.

Dan Heng instantly collapsed to the ground.

He was also somewhat bewildered.

Why did he feel like he had just been briefly abandoned?

"Beautiful big sister, you're awake!" March 7th looked at Eve, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

Eve was clearly still a little confused about the situation and slowly sat up.

Yes, I hugged my little blanket tightly.

Only then did I realize that I was in a room. The room was very clean, and the warm lighting made it look very cozy.

Then came a group of people in the room, and... a little rabbit struggling to jump at the very back.

The little rabbit was wearing a reddish outfit and a tall hat.

It looks cute and fun.

"Who are you...?" Eve asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, let me introduce you properly. We are the nameless guests. My name is March 7th, this is Dan Heng, and here are Uncle Yang and Sister Ji Zi." March 7th introduced us with a serious expression.

"My name is Dan Heng," Dan Heng said earnestly.

"Hello, I'm Himeko," Himeko said with a smile.

“Walter, Yang,” Uncle Yang said calmly, his eyes holding an indescribable meaning.

"And me, Pam!!" Pam was still jumping around.

“Oh right, and Pam too, he’s our train conductor,” March 7th continued.

Seeing their warm welcome, Eve slowly said, "Hello, my name is Eve."

“Eve?” March 7th repeated. “It’s a really nice name!!”

"Thank you." Eve smiled slightly.

They don't seem to be bad people.

"Speaking of which, Sister Eve, why are you floating in space?" March 7th continued to ask.

"Floating? In the universe?" Eve asked, somewhat bewildered.

She only remembered being caught in a spacetime turbulence, and nothing else. The world of Teyvat doesn't have the word "universe," so could she have traveled through time again?

"Yes, yes, and his clothes were all tattered. Did he get into a fight with someone?"

"Huh?" Eve suddenly realized something and immediately lifted her blanket to check.

She lifted the covers and found herself wearing a blue and white striped dress.

"Hehe, pretty big sister, don't worry, when Himeko-neechan carried you up, she had already dressed you." March 7 said.

"It's just a hospital gown..." Dan Heng said quietly from the side.

"The matter is urgent, and this outfit is quite fitting for the occasion," Himeko said calmly.

"Even in this outfit, it's so beautiful!" March 7th said excitedly as she stood up.

Eve became a little shy after March 7th said that.

She began to carefully examine the group of people in front of her.

Although he is the Lawrence of Life, he has just woken up and is still too weak, with less than one-tenth of his strength remaining.

Speaking of which, I feel like there's something extra inside me.

That thing had a high energy purity, just like the Heart of God, providing energy continuously. I guess that's what woke me up from my slumber.

“By the way, I have a question. Do you know where the Star Core went?” Walter Young looked sharply at Eve.

"Star core?" Eve asked, puzzled.

Could it be that thing inside my body?

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the thing had an unpleasant smell.

It felt like everything had been destroyed and reduced to ruins.

But it has a lot of energy.

"Hey, Miss Eve, Miss Eve?" March 7th nudged Eve, who was engrossed in her thoughts.

"Ah." Eve snapped back to reality.

Everyone was looking at her with expectant eyes.

"I don't quite remember. That thing you were talking about... I think I swallowed it..." Eve said, slightly embarrassed.

"What?!" Everyone was immediately taken aback.

Can a star core really be eaten?

"Eat, eat it... Do you mean in a physical sense?" March 7th said in disbelief.

"Hmm... I guess it's what you think of as eating." Eve scratched her head.

"Are you alright?" March 7th asked anxiously, poking Eve's body.

“I’m great, ridiculously great, I can even sing and dance…” Eve said.

“The star core is the cancer of all worlds. Swallowing the star core is indeed an interesting thing,” Walter Yang muttered to himself.

"This can't just be described as interesting, it's outrageous," Himeko said from the side.

"So, where is this?" Eve asked, bewildered.

"Here? This is the Star Train!" March 7 exclaimed excitedly.

Hmm, to ask such a question, she's probably not a stupid beauty; her brain isn't broken.

"Star Train?" Eve shook her head, having no recollection of it.

"The Star Train can travel between universes, stopping at each station. As long as someone is willing to embark on this extraordinary journey, the doors will generously open for them," Himeko said while sipping her coffee.

“So that’s how it is…” Eve nodded slightly.
