From the Queen's Descends, Collapse Douluo

Chapter 283 Core Deal, The Geniuses' Moves

Only one day and night had passed in Luofu when Huo Yuhao, who had been traveling day and night, arrived at the Luofu Immortal Ship.

The Battle of Illusion had just ended, and the aftermath within Luofu was temporarily being handled by Fu Xuan, a simple test for becoming a general. Therefore, Lu Xueling, both morally and logically, did not interfere further.

"Sigh... tallying the casualties and losses, sending men to hunt down the remnants of the Medicine King's forces, and reporting the battle situation to the Six Emperors—no wonder Jingyuan said... sitting in this chair is like sitting on a mountain of knives..."

Inside the general's mansion, Fu Xuan, with a worried expression, flipped through the report, writing furiously as he sighed.

Beside her, Yanqing, who hadn't done this in a long time, put down his sword and helped her organize the documents, while gently comforting her, "Grand Diviner, Yanqing is here with you. The general needs to rest now, and Luofu is counting on us. As for Master..."

Yanqing couldn't help but think of the mysterious Star God Envoy, the Chaos Physician Hua Quyu.

The master met him, but it's unclear how good or bad the relationship was...

Meanwhile, in a tavern in Luofu, the fallen general Lu Xueling, the chaotic healer Hua Quyu, and our nameless guest, Mr. Walter Yang, are gathered together...

Fight the landlord.

"Ace!" Lu Xueling threw down his two aces, humming as he won the round.

Then, the two slips of paper were stuck on Uncle Yang's and Hua Quyu's foreheads.

"Uh... I really can't play any of the games from your hometowns." Hua Quyu touched the seven slips of paper stuck to her forehead, shook her head with a wry smile.

Walter sighed after throwing down his cards, and five slips of paper fluttered in the wind: "I'm getting old too."

Lu Xueling took a sip of the fine afternoon tea from Luofu beside him and said indifferently, "Anyway, it's just to pass the time... Luofu's affairs are not of much concern to us. Oh, by the way, Yang Woqi is taking over as the leader of the alliance. A junior will be coming to see you soon."

"A junior?" Walter paused for a moment, then realized, "Could it be that one on the space station..."

jingle……

Before Walter could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao's communication tone came through Lu Xueling's jade tablet.

What Lu Xueling heard: Your Excellency, I have arrived in Luofu.

Walter heard: My successor has arrived.

What Huaquyu heard: My goods have arrived.

The three of them arrived at the central hub of the Star Chariot Sea. Huo Yuhao had just disembarked from the Star Chariot and immediately ran forward to perform a standard Cloud Rider salute.

Walter looked at the young boy in front of him and recalled the confrontation on the space station. His lips twitched involuntarily.

Lu Xueling introduced with a smile: "Come on, Yuhao, let's get to know each other formally. This is your senior, Mr. Walter Yang, an old friend of mine."

Huo Yuhao replied with obvious respect: "Senior Walter, how have you been?"

"Hehe...we became friends after a fight on the Black Tower Space Station." Uncle Yang nodded with a smile.

Lu Xueling then gave Hua Quyu a thumbs-up, "This person is one of the rarest in the universe, the Abundance Envoy and Chaos Physician, Hua Quyu."

Huo Yuhao glanced at her twice, then bowed and said, "This junior greets Miss Hua Quyu."

Miss...?
"Pfft..." Lu Xueling couldn't hold on to it again.

Old Yang lowered his eyes and coughed tactically.

What else can Huaquyu say? She's used to it...

"First of all, kid, I'm not some older sister. Secondly... your bishop sent you here because of me." Huo Yuhao felt embarrassed and quickly apologized, "Sorry, senior, so... what do you mean?"

Hua Quyu pointed to his chest: "I want the core of [Knowledge], and your general has agreed."

Varied……

Huo Yuhao felt a buzzing in his head, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, making his whole body stiffen.

"Who are you to teach me? Would you let me give it away for free?" Lu Xueling interrupted Huo Yuhao's wild thoughts in the next second. "Give him [Knowledge], and I'll compensate you with [Wind].

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's stiff expression gradually returned to normal. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Senior... I understand."

Black Tower Space Station.

"Hey, why did you come back empty-handed this time? That's not like you." A black tower doll crossed its arms and teased Ruan Mei as she strolled in through the door.

Ruan Mei's fair face remained expressionless as she softly said, "It's not that there aren't any; I've gained even greater variables... enough to make a future experiment less boring."

"Oh?" The Black Tower puppet immediately perked up. "Have you discovered some new guy, or... someone else?"

“Lu Xueling, the fallen general of the Sun and Moon Immortal Ship.” Ruan Mei picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. “I will invite him here later to study his [life] in detail.”

"That new general of the Immortal Ship Alliance?" Black Tower thought for a moment, his eyes burning with desire. "Is that the brat who defeated General Yaoqing Foxman back then?"

Ruan Mei smiled slightly: "He's not some greenhorn. When I met him, I felt a sense of the weight of life he possessed... well, at least he's on par with you, Hei Ta."

"Heh... Alright, I'm looking forward to it too." After the Black Tower doll finished speaking, its eyes lost their light, and the signal linking its spirit was transmitted to the distant other side of the universe.

At this very moment, on planet Yalilo VI in a corner of the universe.

A space fleet slowly approached, bearing the logo of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, with dozens of ships of various sizes guarding the main ship.

A woman with shoulder-length white hair and bright red highlights sat leisurely inside the main ship, holding a golden piggy bank, but her gaze never left the small ice ball.

“Yaliluo No. 6…Belloberg.” The woman rubbed the piggy bank in her arms and chuckled, “It’s never too late to pay back debts, even after seven hundred years.”

An employee turned around and respectfully reported, "Director Toppa, it has been confirmed that the star core signal has completely disappeared."

"Okay, let's land then." Toppa casually fed a snack to the piggy bank in his arms.

Another employee turned around and reported somewhat uneasily, "But... Director, although there is no trace of the star core, we have still discovered a kind of destiny energy that we have never seen before remaining here."

"Unprecedented?" Toppa paused in his movements. "Besides the Amber King's blessing, has any other star god ever favored such a godless place?"

"Director... I mean, that kind of energy doesn't belong to any known destiny path..."

"Wha, what?!"

On the surface of Yalilo VI, on a vast, uninhabited ice field spanning hundreds of miles, stands a 3-meter-high ice sculpture, surrounded by the same frozen antimatter legion of illusory soldiers.

The long-awaited sunlight, the protection and blessings of [Preservation], and the remnants of the Honkai's destruction are causing it to begin melting in a way that is barely perceptible to the naked eye.

Inside the ice crystal, a burly figure remained kneeling on one knee, his back straight as a spear, his muscles bulging, exuding an explosive sense of power.

He seemed to have been trapped in this ice cave for who knows how many years...

(Okay, the last caveman has appeared. Of course, he won't have a big impact on the main storyline; he's just there to provide a backup plan for Ariello.)
