Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

Jing Yuan smiled, picked up the cup of tea, and took a sip.

"It's alright, it's just that Fu Qing's dream of becoming a general will probably be delayed for quite some time."

Lin Si looked puzzled.

"what?"

Jing Yuan poured Lin Si a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

Lin Si took the tea and sipped it. The tea was warm, slightly bitter at first, but with a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.

"Little Linzi." Jing Yuan's voice was leisurely.

"You said that in the dream there were also 'Heavenly Lord Who Patches Up Fate', 'Eternal Joy Heavenly Lord', and 'Harmony Heavenly Lord'?"

Lin Si nodded.

“Yes! At that time, the Harmony Heavenly Lord reached out his hand to me, and I originally wanted to go forward and take it. But I was interrupted by Aha.”

Jingyuan held the teacup but didn't drink; he just stared at the tea in the cup, lost in thought.

After a long while, he put down his cup and looked at Lin Si.

"Little Lin, do you know that to become a general of the Immortal Ship, one must undergo three rituals?"

Lin Si was taken aback and shook her head.

He really didn't know that.

He only knew that the general was very powerful and was the highest military commander of the Immortal Ship, but as a shut-in who stayed at home playing games, he wouldn't care about the specifics of how he was selected.

Seeing his blank expression, Jing Yuan smiled.

"The Heavenly Rainbow Ritual, the Emperor's Bow lowered its gaze, and the divine power bestowed upon them."

Lin Si blinked.

I don't understand.

Jing Yuan continued:

"During the ceremony, participants will also undergo the test of the Emperor's Bow. And this test..."

He looked into Lin Si's eyes.

"It was catching the nine arrows from the Emperor's bow."

Lin Si's hand holding the teacup froze.

"no....."

His voice sounded a little weak.

"what?"

Seeing his shocked expression, Jingyuan laughed even harder.

"You don't necessarily have to catch those nine arrows right then and there. In the future, or in the past, there will be a moment when you can withstand them."

"This is an absolute secret of the alliance, and it cannot be told to anyone but the most trustworthy person. So when Fu Qing learned that the Emperor's Bow had shot a total of nine arrows at you, she was certain that this was not a dream, nor was it anyone's prank."

He picked up his teacup and took another sip.

"Because no one else will know this."

Lin Si opened her mouth, as if to say something, but her mind went blank.

However,

Jingyuan's voice brought him back to his senses.

"It's still a bit unbelievable that they would bypass the three-stage ceremony and proceed directly to the test."

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

"If there really needs to be a reasonable explanation..."

A meaningful smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

"That might be because the old man, Emperor Gong, was a little anxious when he saw that 'the person he had chosen was about to be taken away'."

Lin Si: "......."

Chapter 32 Brother Lan, a ruthless and taciturn man.

Lin Si stood there, holding her teacup, completely frozen in place.

It felt like ten thousand rifted beings were running wildly in my mind.

He understood.

I understood completely.

Apart from that ethereal star god who is "nothing" all day long, every star god has the ability to choose a "commander" to make them their representative.

The messenger and the traveler are not the same.

For a traveler on the path of destiny, all it takes is a glance from the Star God to qualify them to continue on this path.

The messengers are usually chosen by the star gods themselves and are their agents on earth.

The deity worshipped by the Immortal Boat, the messenger chosen by the Emperor Bow Master, is the Immortal Boat General.

Lin Si's mind was buzzing.

No, what did he do?

He carefully recalled the details of his dream, and combined them with what General Jingyuan had just said.

It was probably Hipe, the goddess of harmony, who initially chose him and wanted him to be her messenger.

Then the Emperor Bow panicked and shot nine arrows at him directly.

So why did the imperial archer have to shoot nine arrows at the chosen person?

Lin Si couldn't help but let her thoughts wander.

Perhaps it's because this man is rather introverted, doesn't like to talk, and only knows how to shoot arrows.

Other people chosen by the Star Gods either reach out their hands, nod, or emit a light.

Once the Emperor's Bow has chosen its target, it fires all nine arrows at once, essentially saying, "I've taken a liking to you; take my first strike."

If we catch it, we're on their side; if we don't...

If you can't handle it, you're not one of us.

Lin Si shivered.

Brother Lan is a tough guy in the underworld, ruthless and taciturn.

He quickly shook his head and silently repeated "Please forgive me, Your Majesty" three times in his heart.

After calming down, he began to think about more fundamental questions.

What exactly did he do?

Can we get both Emperor Bow and Hipper to choose him?

He's a shut-in who plays video games all day, and he's even lame, so he can't even go outside more than a few steps.

His only hobby is crushing noobs in games, and his only achievement is dominating the top spot on various game charts.

What merit or ability does he possess?

Even if he were to be chosen by the Star God to be the Commander, shouldn't it be Aha who chooses him?

Lin Si fell into deep self-doubt.

Jingyuan sipped his tea while observing Lin Si's expression.

He watched the changes in that face, from shock to confusion to self-doubt, and the smile on his lips deepened.

It's quite a coincidence that things happened today.

Before Lin Si sent a message to Yan Qing, Marshal Hua convened an emergency meeting of the Seven Generals.

Jingyuan originally wanted Yanqing to listen as well, as the boy had recently made some progress in swordsmanship and was quite pleased with himself.

Let him listen to the meeting of the Immortal Ship Generals; it might help him calm down a bit.

The content of the meeting was simple, yet surprising.

The Emperor Bow Master issued a divine decree, for the celestial vessel is about to welcome a new messenger.

But we don't know exactly who it is.

The marshal and the generals discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.

After all, the Emperor's Bow Master never speaks, only shoots arrows.

The imperial bow's messenger must go through three procedures before being directly selected by the imperial bow itself.

Yes, but not many.

But this is the first time that there has been almost no information at all.

The meeting had just ended when Yanqing said that Xiaolinzi had dreamed that the emperor's bow shot at him.

Jingyuan had only jokingly asked Yanqing to ask, and the Emperor had shot a few arrows.

The result was nine arrows.

He looked at the boy in front of him, whose expression kept changing and whose hair was a little frizzy, and the smile on his lips deepened.

He watched Xiao Linzi grow up.

Knowing them inside and out.

He was incredibly smart from a young age, learning everything quickly and understanding everything perfectly. His father, Old Lin, was always both proud and heartbroken when talking about his son.

I'm proud of my son's intelligence, but I'm heartbroken by his legs.

If it weren't for those legs, Jing Yuan would have sent Lin Si to Yao Qing long ago.

Following that victorious general Feixiao, his martial arts skills will also improve dramatically, and with his intelligence, he will surely achieve many extraordinary feats.

But unexpectedly, the Emperor's Bow made an exception for him.

Jingyuan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Speaking of which, I am getting old, and I have been in the position of general for too long.

Yanqing is still young and needs time to grow. Moreover, this kid is not cut out to be a general. He is more like a sharp sword in the general's hand.

Fu Qing is capable and qualified, but his personality still needs further refinement.

The fact that Xiao Linzi was able to get the Emperor to make an exception for him shows that he possesses something that even the Star God acknowledges.

Jingyuan had some other thoughts in his mind.

Should we report this to the league?

If he keeps his identity a secret for a few years and focuses all his efforts on nurturing Xiao Linzi, he can reveal his identity once he has grown up and then retire legitimately.

With Xiaolin's intelligence, he should be able to learn politics very quickly.

Although his legs are not good at martial arts, if he takes over my position, and the Divine Lord is always by my side, I will not be in danger of losing my life.

And the league will definitely do everything it can to find a way to treat his legs.

When I retire, I'll go fishing, play chess, and pet cats. Maybe I can even take on a role as a patrolman on the sea in my spare time.

Jingyuan's lips curled up slightly.

But soon, his smile faded a bit.

He finally shook his head.

It cannot be concealed.

Xiao Linzi said that in his dream, besides the Harmony Star God, there were also the Joy Star God and the Preservation Star God.

It's possible that more than just Emperor Bow and Hipe have their eyes on Kobayashi.

Although Jingyuan secretly hoped that his child would choose his own god, it was not a decision he could make for Lin Si.
