But no matter how things changed, the boy's pieces remained firmly planted on the board, and none of them were ever captured by the opponent.

The storyteller's voice echoed.

"In the middle of the game, the heavens dropped the last piece. The whole board was alive, except for one corner, which was the fate of the young man."

But the white-haired youth smiled.

He pushed the chess piece forward, and the game instantly changed.

"General."

The moment the chess piece was placed on the board, a tall and imposing figure slowly appeared behind him.

The figure was so large that it almost burst through the edge of the light barrier.

He did not speak, and He never spoke.

He simply held a longbow, the bowstring already drawn taut.

On the bowstring, a beam of light condensed and took shape, its radiance dazzling, as if it were about to illuminate the entire universe.

The light arrow shot out towards the constantly shifting figure on the opposite side of the chessboard.

The image freezes here.

The storyteller's voice rang out for the last time.

"With boundless hatred and endless pursuit, roaming the stars and seas, upholding justice and eliminating evil, the arrow is on the bowstring, its might shakes the four directions!"

"General Tian Shu has arrived. The game is not even halfway through, but the outcome is already decided."

The meeting room was deathly silent.

The images on the screen faded away, leaving only the divination sticks in Yao Guang's hand, still slightly hot.

Feixiao was the first to speak.

"General Tian Shu?"

Her voice was somewhat hoarse, like someone who had been walking in the desert for a long time suddenly seeing water.

"Since the Immortal Ship began its journey, it has never held the title of General of the Heavenly Pivot."

"To play chess against Heaven, one can win by half a move..."

General Huaiyan muttered to himself.

"Justice... this child, whose game are you playing?"

Xuan Quan's voice rang out, as cold and clear as ever.

"The figure on the other side of the chessboard is the Star God."

"More than one."

The meeting room fell silent again.

Yao Guang looked down at the slightly warm divination sticks in his hand, his fingers gently tracing the patterns on the sticks.

"General Tian Shu".

She repeated the title softly.

“樞 means pivot, center. Tian Shu is the first star of the Big Dipper, the center around which all the stars revolve.”

She raised her head and looked at Jing Yuan.

“General Jingyuan, this child will likely become more than just a general on the Immortal Ship in the future.”

Jing Yuan finally spoke. His voice was calm, but something was churning in his eyes.

"That's for later."

He paused for a moment.

“Right now, he’s just an eighteen-year-old boy, and his leg is still injured, so he needs someone to take care of him.”

Feixiao leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips.

"Jingyuan, are you showing off to us?"

Jing Yuan shook his head.

"I've come here for help."

He looked at the generals.

“This child needs someone by his side. Not just an ordinary guard, but someone who can walk that path with him. My Luofu is facing a shortage of capable people.”

He sighed.

"If any of you have suitable candidates, please feel free to recommend them."

Huaiyan was the first to speak.

"I, Zhu Ming, do have a few promising talents, but I don't know if the kids will get along."

Feixiao smiled too.

"Yao Qing's people, he probably finds it too noisy."

Xuan Quan didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

General Xu Ling moved slightly, and a deep voice came from behind him.

"The matter of selecting a candidate will be discussed later."

Marshal Hua remained silent.

She just stared at the spot where the light screen disappeared for a long time.

Then she spoke, her voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power.

"The matter of divination must not be divulged. The title of General Tianshu ends here."

She looked around.

"Before the child grows up, he is just an eighteen-year-old child under the protection of the fairy boat."

The generals all nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

Marshal Hua's figure began to fade.

Before she vanished, she left behind a message.

"Jingyuan, what's that child's name again?"

Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Lin Si".

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the light screen.

"Lin Si".

Chapter 40 What kind of little angel is this?!

“You’ve changed a lot lately, Bronya.”

On the way to the Swaro base, Hilva suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Lin Si, controlling Bronya's body, tilted his head upon hearing these words, revealing a half-smile.

"Is there?"

"Have."

Hiluva walked with long strides, her hands in her leather jacket pockets.

"You weren't like this before... how should I put it, so open-minded?"

"Maybe,"

He gave a vague reply.

People always change.

Hiluva didn't dwell on the topic. She smiled, then suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, do you know what Lingke did when she got home last night?"

Lin Si became interested.

"What did you do?"

"Her,"

Hiluva's tone carried a hint of helplessness and indulgence.

"The first thing he did when he got home was to call Jepard and me into the living room and then say in a serious tone, 'Please support Miss Bronya.'"

Lin Si: "......"

Bronya thought to herself: "........?"

“You didn’t see that scene,”

Hiluva gestured,

“Her face is usually expressionless, but that night she was unusually serious. Jepard and I were stunned and asked her what was wrong. She said, ‘Miss Bronya is having a hard time and needs help.’”

Lin Si raised an eyebrow.

He had previously thought that Ling Ke had ulterior motives towards Bronya, but considering Ling Ke's previous actions and what Silva was saying now, he was certain.

Ling Ke really just felt that since they were going to play together, they should have fun.

She also felt that Bronya usually didn't have time to play and that it was very hard for her.

That's why I offered to lead the way to the lower level.

What an amazing little angel!

Lin Si couldn't help but recall Ling Ke's face, which remained completely unmoved even when she said "waibi babo".

Next time we meet, I'll definitely make sure this little angel lives in a world without cold waves or rifts.

Lin Si silently set a goal for herself.

“Ling Ke, ah,”

Hiluva was still saying,

"She's always been like this. She seems indifferent to everything, but she's actually more shrewd than anyone else. Once she's made up her mind about something, not even nine oxen could pull her back."

"pretty good."

Lin Si said sincerely.

“Is that so?” Hilva raised her chin smugly. “That’s how we Landau people are.”

Lin Si couldn't help but laugh.

However, after laughing, he turned his attention back to business.

The star core is still a bit tricky.

This crucial item is definitely in Cocolia's control. After dealing with this here, I'll have to go and sound out Cocolia.

Just then, the road ahead suddenly opened up.

A large camp came into view.

Although it's called a camp, it's more like a small settlement.

There were many homeless people in the area, as well as many mechanical guards.

Most of the mechanical guards are building a huge "gate" under the command of a white-haired, red-eyed, barefoot little girl.

Seele looked around and suddenly laughed.

"What did I tell you? Anyone who recognizes you as people from the upper class will definitely want to punch you."

Lin Si followed her gaze.
