Collapse Iron: Cosplaying the Near-Death Star, but with a full destiny.

....................................

The study fell silent once again.

Only the cicadas outside the window continued their tireless chirping.

Ye Xing looked down at the black jade tablet on the table.

Her slightly pale face was reflected in the black surface.

go with?

Should we not go?

This is not a multiple-choice question at all.

This is a question that could cost you your life.

If she doesn't go, she will be a prisoner in Luofu for the rest of her life, and in the end, she will be killed by the God.

If you go, it will be a perilous deep-sea adventure with a slim chance of survival, and you'll also have to face those bizarre beings that even the Star Gods find troublesome.

"Tsk."

Hoshino scratched her hair in frustration.

"I knew it."

"Nothing good ever comes from coming to Xianzhou."

"Last time it was the star core, this time it's the calamity."

"Is this place unlucky in terms of feng shui? Why do all sorts of demons and monsters flock here?"

She complained as she reached out and picked up the jade tablet.

The icy touch traveled from her fingertips throughout her body, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Alright."

"I accepted it."

"It's because I owe you a favor."

Ye Xing stuffed the jade into his pocket and turned to leave.

His movements were incredibly graceful.

"However, General."

She suddenly stopped when she reached the door.

There was no turning back.

He simply turned his back to Jingyuan and raised a middle finger (though it was only for a moment, it quickly turned into a wave).

"Remember to settle your appearance fee this time."

"I want double."

"No, ten times."

After saying that, she pulled Xing, who was still pondering whether it was possible to fish in the deep sea, and strode out of the study.

I had just stepped out the door.

The sense of ease that came from being suppressed by the divine lord vanished almost instantly.

But after all, as the God of the End, the God Lord was definitely no match for him.

But whether it was due to his own special characteristics or some other reason, the calamity was able to affect him.

If a star god-level being were corrupted by it, what kind of catastrophe would that bring to the universe?

Although it wasn't as serious as before, Hoshino could feel that the string in her mind was starting to tighten again.

That red shadow, like a voyeur lurking in the shadows, was silently mocking her across vast distances of time and space.

"call......"

Hoshino let out a long sigh of relief.

She glanced at Xing, who remained calm beside her.

"Hey, Batman."

"It seems like we're really in deep trouble this time."

Xing nodded.

"Um."

"It sounds even more difficult than Huanlong."

Are you scared?

"A little."

Xing speaks the truth.

"But I'm even more afraid... if I don't go, you'll turn into one of those monsters with three heads."

She looked Hoshino up and down.

"Even though you're not exactly good-looking now."

"But three heads... the art style is indeed a bit too ahead of its time."

Hoshino was so angry that he laughed.

She reached out her healthy right hand and patted Xing hard on the back.

"Get lost."

The two walked through the corridor.

Just then, I saw Danheng sitting in the corner, holding a book, seemingly reading but actually just spacing out.

This former Dragon Lord.

He was frowning at the moment, his gaze fixed on the pages of the book, but he clearly hadn't absorbed a single word.

He seemed to sense it too.

The unusual aura rippled within the Shence Mansion.

as well as......

The unsettling "smell" that suddenly intensified on Hoshi and Hoshi.

"Teacher Danheng!"

Ye Xing rushed over and grabbed Dan Heng's arm.

Completely disregarding whether the other person wanted to or not, they simply pulled him up from the chair.

Stop reading!

"There are no houses of gold or beauties in the book."

"There's only a bunch of lonely ghosts waiting to devour us."

Dan Heng staggered, almost dropping the book in his hand.

He stared blankly at the two energetic guys.

"What's wrong?"

"You...had your talks with the general fall through?"

"It didn't collapse."

Hoshino pulled him outside.

They walked very fast.

It felt like being chased by a vicious dog.

"That was a great talk."

"He was so kind that he gave us a one-way ticket."

"Where to?"

Danheng was forced to keep up with them.

"Let's go to the beach."

"Isei said without turning his head," he said.

His voice carried a sense of resignation, as if he had given up entirely.

"Let's go to... the real deep sea, a place even the Dragon Lord has never been."

"Let's go, Professor Danheng."

"Back to the train."

"We need to have a serious talk about this."

"This mess..."

"How exactly should we cross this river?"

The three figures gradually disappeared outside the gates of the Shence Mansion.

The sunlight lengthened their shadows.

The sunlight in Luofu was a bit dazzling the moment I stepped out of Shence Mansion.

The Starship Sea Central Hub remained as bustling as ever.

A giant starship traversed overhead, casting moving shadows.

Street vendors hawk freshly baked lotus root cakes, while clever birds nimbly weave in and out of the crowd carrying takeout boxes.

Everything seemed so...

normal.

It was so normal that it felt somewhat unreal to Hoshino.

She subconsciously touched the black jade pendant in her pocket.

The cool touch traveled up her fingertips, reminding her that what had just happened in the study was not an illusion.

"drop."

My phone vibrated.

When Shi Xing took it out, he saw that it was a message from Sai Fei'er.

A photo is attached.

In the photo, the cat-eared thief is riding on the neck of a giant golden guard, waving a skewer of grilled gluten and grinning from ear to ear.

The backdrop is the iconic "Prosperous Business" archway in Jinren Lane.

Half of Wan Di's head was also visible next to him. This guy was gesturing with a master craftsman from the workshop, showing off his biceps, seemingly exchanging some hardcore training tips.

【Sai Fei】: Savior! This place is so much fun!

[Saifeier]: Those golden figures can actually dance! Although their movements are a bit stiff, the metallic scraping sound is absolutely amazing!

[Saifeier]: By the way, Aglaia and that girl named Nakeya are arguing again, apparently about whether that "Diting" can understand dialects. Do you want to come over and judge?

Looking at the vibrant words and smiling faces on the screen, Hoshino's tense lips finally relaxed a little.

She typed rapidly on the screen and replied with a message.

【㳉星】: Have fun.

【㳉星】：Remember, don't dismantle the golden statue. That thing is quite expensive; you couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold yourself.

【㳉星】: Also, tell Aglaia that Diting doesn't understand dialects, but it can understand who is talking badly about it behind its back, so be careful not to get bitten on the butt.
