"I'm sorry, I was so concerned about you that I didn't recognize you at first."
Han Ya was taken aback upon hearing this, then he superimposed Yu Tianyi's appearance on the person registered in the photo, and immediately bowed slightly with a hint of apology.
"Yes, the crow seems to be more emotionally volatile now than in the original story. Well, after all, nearly eight hundred years have passed, and the damage to emotions from frequently drinking the Wine of Oblivion is still very serious."
Yu Tianyi nodded slightly in acknowledgment. His thousand-year life in Luofu had long made him a part of the Immortal Ship, so Han Ya's attitude towards him was different from that towards outsiders.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask your name?"
"I am Han Ya, the envoy of the Ten Kings."
After a conversation, Yu Tianyi obtained another contact method and received some important information from Han Ya.
That is, during this period, there has been an abnormal increase in the number of people who have fallen into demonic possession. Even though the war in Tarasa has led to an increase in the number of people who have fallen into demonic possession, the judges who read memories through dream interpretation, including the Raven, still noticed something was wrong.
"Regarding this matter, we have reported to the Ten Kings' Office. The Netherworld Prison has already sent underworld messengers to investigate the cause. It was because of this that I was granted permission to return to life and help handle the documents entrusted to me by various grotto heavens."
After listening to Han Ya's account, Yu Tianyi realized that this was probably another change he had brought about, which had made the deviation between reality and the original plot even more serious.
"It seems that Jingliu's resignation as the swordsman was a move to make the people of Fengrao think that the situation in Luofu is unstable, and they are trying to infiltrate and cause a larger-scale chaos."
After a moment's thought, he connected this situation with what had happened before.
If there were no internal disturbances in Luofu, this situation should have been quickly quelled, as there was simply no fertile ground for public opinion to cause unrest.
However, the current situation is that although the news of Jingliu's impending death is not known to most people of the Immortal Ship, it is not exactly a secret among the higher-ups and the people of Fengrao.
"However, I rescued Jingliu earlier and used the Emperor's Bow caused by the Star Chaser Arrow to minimize the impact in the early stages."
After Yu Tianyi figured out the key points, he immediately came up with several solutions.
The simplest and most direct approach is to sever the tentacles of the Abundant People who are spreading rumors and inducing the residents of the Immortal Ship to infiltrate Luofu. This is exactly what the Ten Kings Division is currently doing.
On a deeper level, it is necessary to suppress the signs of impending change in Luofu, so that the actions of the Fengrao people will be rendered futile.
"If you think about it further, it's even possible that, just like in Chapter One, the current situation is merely bait set up by another force."
While the main enemy of the Immortal Ship is the Buli people of the Abundant People, there are other forces as well, such as the antimatter legion of the Ancestor of Extinction.
In the subsequent Bountiful Alliance, besides the Buli people, there were also Winged Creators, Houyhnhnms, and other races, all of whom were not to be underestimated before the Third Bountiful War.
Although the Wingers' homeland, Qiongsang, was destroyed by the Antimatter Legion in Star Calendar 5320, and now mostly appears as mercenaries and space pirates, and their technology has almost degenerated, they still pose a considerable threat.
It's hard to say that they won't set their sights on Jianmu in order to revive their own Qiongsang. According to the predictions of the Jade Palace Diviner, there may be more than one world similar to Qiongsang, and Jianmu may become the next 'Qiongsang'.
"However, it probably isn't a Houyhnhnm. Their even-toed ungulate features are too obvious, making it difficult to fool uncivilized people."
The Wingers, however, are different. Their appearance, with one or more pairs of wings, is quite similar to the mythical races in many uncivilized civilizations.
During the millennium that the Mirror Stream was active, it captured many warrior leaders of the Bu Li people and guardians of the Winged Creators. The hatred of the two races for this Luofu Sword Master can be said to be deep to the bone.
Like the recent ambush incident, with Jingliu's time to die approaching, there will definitely be more actions to come.
"I wonder if, after these unexpected events, Shuhu will act ahead of schedule, or even bring its Daoist temple, Devouring Realm Rahu, along with it."
After asking Han Ya a few more questions, Yu Tianyi didn't try to learn about any more private topics. He took his leave in a very casual manner, naturally understanding the principle that too much of a good thing is bad.
His actions gave the crow a more concrete impression of the legendary man who single-handedly rescued the swordsman.
"No wonder this person has never shown any signs of demonic possession even after a thousand years. He is calm and detached from worldly affairs, peaceful and unperturbed, and does not flaunt his strength. He is decisive in his actions at critical moments. It is indeed a blessing for the Sword Master to have such a husband."
Unaware of Han Ya's misunderstanding, Yu Tianyi inquired about Jing Liu's situation and, upon learning that he had returned home, headed towards the Workshop of Works.
As his strength increases, the idea of having Yingxing create a custom weapon, which once seemed rather distant, can now be put on the agenda.
"We can't neglect improving our regular strength just because we now have a support module."
On the way, he brought up the panel for proxy events to check the progress of the locust plague apocalypse.
[Qingque found a world with a natural environment that could block part of the insect swarm, and made it her initial base. After completing the setup, the 'Jianmu Body' began to transform the entire world according to the instructions left behind.]
On March 7th, with the help of Silver Wolf and Black Swan, they launched a surprise attack on the Sand King's branch. Without Gan Rui's covert coordination, they were inevitably annihilated under the encirclement of the two envoys.
Several hours passed, and a few days of the locust plague apocalypse had also passed. Yu Tianyi nodded in satisfaction; the overall situation was within his expectations.
However, to his disappointment, once he left the Monkey Jianmu clone, he could no longer receive real-time feedback and could only follow the instructions originally left by Yu Tianyi.
"If this allows us to continue contacting the people involved in the incident, wouldn't this feature be completely cost-free?"
After that, I can directly use the proxy every time I enter an event, playing it like a simulator.
Yu Tianyi had anticipated this situation, which is why he left instructions in advance to prevent it from happening.

Chapter 136 To Sharpen One's Tools
"Judging from your appearance, there must have been significant progress on that device."
After passing through the corridor of the Gewu Institute, Yingxing arrived at his own design institute. He had spoken with Yingxing on the Jade Tablet before coming over.
Seeing his composed demeanor, Yu Tianyi immediately understood from their decades of experience together that the other man must have gained something, which was why he had such an expression.
"That's natural. Besides the miniaturization of the device to erase the sun, I've also optimized the technology of the Mirror-Changing Screen. As for whether to hand it over to the craftsmen, that's up to you."
Yingxing tossed over a small jade tablet. This thing was similar to the USB drive from before the transmigration, both used to store important files or messages.
Protective talismans are engraved on it to prevent the contents from being leaked.
After all, this timeline is not the world before the time travel where there were no supernatural beings. Hypnosis, illusion, brainwashing, truth serum, and other methods can easily disregard personal will and access information stored in consciousness.
Furthermore, online electronic information is prone to meme contamination, leading to distortion of its content. Therefore, printed information is generally considered more credible.
Therefore, important departments like the Ten Kings' Office relied on handwritten documents to record information obtained through dream interpretation.
"I'll hand this over to Jingyuan and let him handle it."
Yu Tianyi shook the jade tablet in his hand, put it into his pocket, and went to his design table to take out the design drawings that he had prepared in advance and placed in the cabinet.
These were many pieces of equipment he designed based on his memories from before his transmigration, combined with the technology of the Immortal Ship, when he was in the Industrial Construction Department.
This includes the 'Cataclysmic Annihilation Greatsword' that he previously forged in Chapter One, which was also a product reproduced based on this batch of blueprints.
"I called you here today because I realized I can no longer hide my strength. I'd like to ask you to forge a suitable weapon to deal with any changes that may occur later."
As he spoke, he expertly rummaged through a pile of design drawings and pulled out a giant blade that only had an outline, but whose imposing presence was still evident.
"Dragon's Spine? Interesting. Your name is about as childish as the toddlers in my hometown."
Yingxing leaned closer to take a look and then made a comment about the four large characters above the design drawing.
"I didn't ask you to look at the design drawings so you could criticize its name."
Yu Tianyi's forehead creased with annoyance, and he slapped Ying Xing's shoulder, turning Ying Xing's attention to the contents of the blueprints.
“Starry Sky Jade... Wow, Light Arrow Ember, you really dare to dream.”
"Why wouldn't I dare to think about it? Jing Yuan's Stone Fire Dream Body contains the embers of the Emperor's Bow and Arrow, although the quantity I'm asking for is a bit large."
Of course, these are just early blueprints; they will definitely need to be adjusted before they can be built.
Yu Tianyi also recalled his immature period more than 700 years ago. At that time, he thought that even if he was not good at fighting, he could become a master craftsman and become famous in the Immortal Ship.
In addition, since the skills I learned at the time were not very useful, I turned them all into blueprints and put them together.
There are many illogical points in it, which he can see at a glance now, but back then he was only thinking about how to look good, so he didn't consider too much.
"Okay, I don't have anything special to do right now, but I have a condition: even if we follow your design, the final product must meet my requirements."
Ying Xing raised an eyebrow and said this while holding the design drawing in Yu Tianyi's hand.
"Of course. If every weapon required your expertise, it would lower the prestige of that title."
Yu Tianyi naturally didn't intend to just make a weapon and call it a day. This was something he would need to use in reality for quite some time later, otherwise he wouldn't have needed Ying Xing to take charge.
"How about we learn from the flying swords developed by the Engineering Bureau and install a Jade Luck computing module on it, or like your partner's Fragment, just pure power?"
"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. I have no interest in those flying swords. At least when I'm cutting people with them, they don't feel real and they're not satisfying at all."
Ying Xing deeply agreed with his words. Even though the flying sword could be controlled without delay through nerves and could launch attacks from different angles, it still had many flaws.
Otherwise, Jingliu wouldn't have ultimately reverted to using the simplest handheld longsword.
Firstly, the craftsmanship of flying swords is complex, and if the core jade is damaged during battle, it becomes scrap metal.
Secondly, the material itself is subject to certain limitations in order to engrave patterns on it.
Therefore, weapons like Danfeng, Jingyuan, Jingliu, and even Yingxing are all divine weapons that only have the function of spatial storage attached to them, without any other functions.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to have kept this hidden for so long. If Jingliu hadn't been in danger, were you planning to just stay a craftsman until you die of old age?"
"Yingxing, everyone has their own pursuits. Having experienced the destruction of Cangcheng, I do not want any more trouble. It is enough for me to live a peaceful life with Jingliu."
After saying this, Yu Tianyi added something to his mind: "Of course, this was before I got the cheat."
"But strength is naturally the guarantee of this stability. You may not need it, but you will only realize its value when you really need it."
He said this not only to the star, but also to himself.
If they had been strong enough in the original story, Bai Heng wouldn't have had to sacrifice himself, and they wouldn't have even been able to die together; instead, Shu Hu would have just 'died' once.
Yu Tianyi's previous ability to break the deadlock allowed Jingliu to return safely without suffering serious harm.
"I understand that, but unfortunately I am just a short-lived species. No matter how much I train, I can only ensure that my strength does not decline."
The two did not discuss this issue in detail, and then began a heated discussion about the design drawings.
Most of the time, Yu Tianyi would propose an idea, which would then be ruthlessly rejected by Ying Xing, who would then offer a more reasonable solution.
