Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

"The appearance of Ms. Ruan Mei may be the beginning of an even more turbulent era, or I may have begun to gradually come into contact with the wars between more civilizations in the universe."

Yu Tianyi shook his head, dispelling the slight sense of pride he had felt after defeating Shuhu. He realized that he had only just stepped onto the stage of the Milky Way and had a long way to go. He must not let his guard down.

While pondering, he glanced at Jing Liu beside him. Seeing that the extended unit of time was about to disappear, he quickly returned to his original position and restored his previous posture based on his memory.

After these things were done, the things that had been still started to move again, and everything seemed to return to normal. Apart from Yu Tianyi, no one else knew that someone had appeared and left.

"Tianyi, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so absent-minded? Is something the problem?"

Jing Liu keenly noticed the change in Yu Tianyi's expression before and after Ruan Mei's arrival. If he was in high spirits before, he now seemed to have encountered some troubles, and the corners of his mouth that were originally turned up also calmed down.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some things."

Yu Tianyi naturally didn't want to tell Jingliu about these things. Just as his teacher Heita said, once these things got out, regardless of whether Jingliu believed them or not, the impact would already be felt. If this caused her any harm, Yu Tianyi himself would not forgive himself.

"Don't worry too much. Even if it escapes, according to you, Tianyi, it's already severely injured. It will probably be a long time before it can pose a threat to the Immortal Ship again."

Jing Liu clearly misunderstood what Yu Tianyi was worried about; she thought Yu Tianyi was worried about not being able to completely kill Shu Hu before.

After all, the worlds they saw were now different, so it was understandable that she didn't realize the true meaning behind Yu Tianyi's emotional changes; this was something that couldn't be perceived through mere tacit understanding.

Seeing this, Yu Tianyi readily agreed. He didn't let these feelings linger for long and quickly suppressed them in his heart. When traveling with his wife, he couldn't possibly show any negative emotions in front of her.

The two first went to Qingqiu Port in Yaoqing, which is where the Yaoqing Immortal Ship cultivates star rafts. However, unlike Jianmu in Luofu, the abundant miracle of Yaoqing is a moon, which produces a special item called 'Emperor's Dew'. Therefore, its focus is different from that of Luofu. It does not grow automatically from branches and buds, but is a kind of biological star raft called Qingqiu.

Every moment, new star rafts are born in Qingqiu Port. Yu Tianyi and Jing Liu also help deliver the baby of one of the retired star rafts with the help of the staff.

Looking at the fluffy little fox in his hand, Yu Tianyi could now understand the astonishment of the outsiders when they learned that the Luofu Star Chariot had grown out of nowhere.

Thanks to the support of biotechnology, these little foxes will grow into loyal partners of the Qingqiu Army in a few months, able to fight across the Milky Way and wipe out the demon bandits' star rafts.

"Let's call it Little Yi Liu."

Yu Tianyi stroked the little guy in his hand, whose long tail was wagging and whose eyes were not yet open, and said with a smile to the staff member next to him, which made Jing Liu behind him roll his eyes at him helplessly.

This is one of the experiences offered at Qingqiu Port. Visitors have the opportunity to name these newborn babies, and a few months later, the starships named by them will go to war in the galaxy, providing a sense of participation for ordinary people who cannot go to the battlefield.

Of course, this project is not free. The cost of naming it is not a small amount of patrol coins. Fortunately, neither Yu Tianyi nor Jing Liu are poor.

Yu Tianyi became incredibly wealthy after handing over the technology of the Mirror-Changing Screen to Luofu, and with his substantial fortune, this expense was nothing to him.

"A sincere offer of five thousand taels of silver, or ten thousand credits. Please wait a moment, and the little one's nameplate will be delivered to you shortly as a souvenir of your naming."

In the distance, a figure shrouded in robes watched this scene. She quietly raised her hand, and in her palm was a very old-looking object with the two characters 'Yi Liu' faintly engraved on it in the Immortal Ship script.

“Ji You, Yi Liu, my origins… Lord of Destiny, is this your guidance?”

The woman muttered something to herself, then put away the nameplate in her hand and slowly disappeared.

"This is your souvenir, please keep it safe."

Yu Tianyi was unaware of the figure not far from him. Even though he could now perceive everything around him, he could not see the figure in another dimension unless he fully activated his dimensional senses.

Therefore, he simply smiled and accepted the nameplate handed to him by the fox-person staff member. After looking at the two characters 'Yi Liu' printed on it for a while, he handed it to Jing Liu, who was standing to the side.

"You really did a very perfunctory job in choosing this name."

Despite his initial disapproval, Jingliu carefully put the nameplate away.

"Isn't it the hope that this little one can inherit some of our strength? Liu, our names will bless her to be invincible on the battlefield."

Yu Tianyi chuckled. He hadn't just been stroking the little guy for fun; he was actually performing a 'promotion' that only existed in the ancient times of the Immortal Ship.

There aren't any new four-star units in version 2.2, so is it possible that they're just re-releases of older four-star units? That's quite possible.

Chapter 277 The unexpected person

"Why is it that even though two possible universes are connected, the items from them still cannot be brought into reality?"

Yu Tianyi looked at the jade talisman that appeared in his hand with some curiosity. After Yao Qing visited Qingqiu Port, he and Jing Liu found a nearby inn to stay at.

During this time, he was not idle. He tried to test the effects of the Lingxu Jellyfish given to him by Ruan Mei in different chapters. The test results were neither good nor bad.

It can indeed break down the barriers between different possible universes, enabling the transfer of matter or energy between different chapters.

Even though the test results have an upper limit, and he cannot fully transfer the authority of his clone in the Locust Plague Apocalypse to the main body in different chapters, it is still very good news.

The bad news is that he still can't bring the items from the chapters into reality, but he feels he can bring out the characters that Yu Tianyi has recruited.

However, considering the various problems that might arise, after all, if a living person suddenly appears in the room, it would be difficult to explain to his wife, not to mention anything else.

So it was just a brief foray, and they returned to reality without doing much more.

If there was anything different about the characters he had contracted with, Yu Tianyi would recall the information given on the jump ticket when he was drawing Fu Xuan and the others: "...a miracle born from the collapse of numerous possibilities trodden by the person named Fu Xuan."

"So, if it's a human being, does it require numerous possibilities to collapse into one in order to arrive at reality?"

Yu Tianyi pondered for a while and remembered that Fu Xuan had mentioned to him that after being recruited, her divination had become simpler because there were no longer endless possibilities to eliminate. Instead, she could freely observe in the direction she wanted, which reduced the difficulty considerably.

However, the current situation suggests that either the external system is protecting his universe, preventing the beings in the chapter from coming, or his reality itself has special characteristics that lead to this situation.

"Forget it, if we can't bring it, we can't bring it. The fact that the chapters are connected is already very good news."

He flipped his hand and took the floating Lingxu jellyfish into his hand, then put it into his inventory. This thing was a powerful weapon, so he naturally had to protect it.

After Yu Tianyi finished these tests, Jingliu also bought some Yaoqing specialty snacks from outside. It was precisely because she was not there that Yu Tianyi went to other chapters to take the tests.

After all, the chapters he enters and exits now disappear from reality. If Jingliu sees this, even if the other party doesn't ask, he will still have some doubts. Naturally, he wants to avoid this situation from happening.

"Hmm? Did you spar with someone?"

Just as Jing Liu entered the house, Yu Tianyi's brows twitched. He sensed a fluctuation in her aura. Logically, given her level, it would be impossible for this to happen if she were just going out to buy some food.

There were no signs of fighting on Jing Liu's body, which meant that she had sparred with someone before returning, which explained why she seemed to be a little later than expected.

"I guess I was targeted by someone who was eager to test my skills. On the way, I met a woman who could tell my level of cultivation. To avoid trouble, I sparred with her for a few moves."

As Jingliu placed the food in his hand on the table beside him, he recalled the scene from just now.

“I am very familiar with this person’s sword style. He is the Sword God of Taixu. However, compared to that little girl in plain clothes, her swordsmanship is obviously of a higher level. If I had not advanced in my cultivation, I might not have been her match.”

Upon receiving such high praise from Jingliu, several names flashed through Yu Tianyi's mind, but considering the differences between the two storylines, they might not be accurate.

"It seems like things are going well. You've only been in Yaoqing for a day and you've already found a candidate with superb swordsmanship."

"Yaoqing's Cloud Riders are much better than Luofu's Cloud Riders in every aspect. After all, they are immortal ships that sail in war-torn star fields all year round, so it is not surprising that they have more opportunities to hone their skills."

As for the person I sparred with, her swordsmanship has developed into a style of its own. Although it bears the shadow of the Sword God of the Void, it is merely a shadow; the two are completely different techniques.

As she spoke, Jingliu raised her hand and summoned the Dismembered Sword, swinging it a few times in the air. Yu Tianyi immediately recognized that this was not Jingliu's style, indicating that she was now using the swordsmanship of the person she had just sparred with.

Judging from the traces, it is indeed only similar in form to the Taixu Sword God, but it is a completely different set of moves.

"But what's strange is that I've never heard of someone with this level of strength before."

Jingliu was able to take the top swordsmanship position, which is not something that can be achieved by studying in isolation, no matter how high her talent is. Therefore, she had naturally studied Yaoqing's swordsmanship and had corresponding memories of famous swordsmen, but the woman who had fought with her before was not among them.

"Ok?"

When this was mentioned, Yu Tianyi immediately perked up. For him, not long ago he had met someone from another possibility in reality, which meant that his reality was not an impenetrable fortress that could not allow outsiders to enter.

In other words, there are likely traces of many different civilizations in the Milky Way now, including not only the civilizations of the universe known as the Milky Way, but also traces of interference from civilizations outside the Milky Way.

"However, there are countless possible universes within the Milky Way, and those forces that have come are only a minority. What if the swordsman that Jingliu encountered was not from the Milky Way, but rather an entity formed from other universes?"

That means there must be something special about the reality I'm in, perhaps it's something I caused, or perhaps it's some more hidden secret.

Many thoughts flashed through Yu Tianyi's mind. With a broader perspective came the ease with which he could think of more things. However, all of this depended on the premise that the woman Jingliu met was not Yao Qingren.

After all, true masters often live in seclusion in the city. It's not surprising if someone has the ability but doesn't want to be famous, since there are always some people who don't care much about their reputation.

Just like Yu Tianyi himself, even though he had become a force capable of suppressing Shuhu, he didn't have much of a reputation in Luofu.

"Liu, are you able to find her again?"

After Yu Tianyi inquired, Jing Liu, though somewhat puzzled by her husband's attitude, still took out the jade tablet and projected a contact from her address book for him to see.

"?!"

To be honest, Yu Tianyi had wondered who this was, but the moment this appearance appeared, he realized that this was definitely not the kind of person the Galaxy should be having at the moment.

Because standing before him was Kiana, with white hair and blue eyes, dressed as a swordsman.

Chapter 278 Heavenly Demon Swordsman

Inside the room, Yu Tianyi stared at the semi-transparent projected figure, his heart filled with turmoil.

It seems that as he began to participate in the plot, those who were originally hidden behind the scenes began to emerge one after another.

This may be the result of him altering the original plot trajectory, causing some changes in the real universe.

These questions can only be answered when his teacher, Black Tower, returns. For now, Yu Tianyi can only keep these questions in his heart and begin to think about Kiana's origins.

(Does this attire suggest that she, like that mysterious member of the End Legion, is one of the other possibilities in the galaxy?)

"Tianyi, do you... know this person?"

From the change in Yu Tianyi's expression, Jing Liu quickly realized that he seemed to know more about the woman's appearance than he did.

"Hmm, she looks almost exactly like someone I've met before, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. After all, even on Luofu, there are quite a few people who look alike, let alone in this vast Milky Way."

However, just in case, I want to meet this person in person.

At Yu Tianyi's instruction, Jingliu attempted to send a meeting request to an account with the communication name 'A Soldier Under the Demon King'.

The person who resembled Kiana seemed very interested in the Mirror Style swordsmanship and readily agreed to her request. The two agreed to meet at the Heavenly Wind Pavilion in Yaoqing the next day and then ended their conversation.

Tianfeng Pavilion is one of the most famous scenic spots in Guanghan Cave, as it was built to commemorate the deeds of the Dragon Lord Tianfeng Jun in his bloody battle to kill the evil creature 'Hundred Arms'.

The Yaoqing Construction Bureau recruited 3,000 workers and spent 20 years building it. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a representative of the Yaoqing Chiming architectural style and a must-see attraction for tourists in Yaoqing.

The reason Yu Tianyi and Jing Liu chose this place to meet was naturally to avoid attracting attention.

They came with a tour group, and along the way, they walked along the 'Feather Path' which had been blessed by the Vidyadharas, and their faces showed surprise.
