The story continues in Gui Naifen's live stream.

After the game of cards ended, Qingque dusted off non-existent dust and led the train crew and Tingyun's group of four, strolling leisurely towards the direction of Taibusi.

As you pass through a wide-open sky bridge, your view suddenly opens up, and you can see the magnificent and beautiful interior structure of the fairy ship "Luofu".

Amidst the layers upon layers of starship channels, an extremely abrupt and breathtaking scene captivated everyone's attention—

It was a section of a withered giant tree.

To be precise, it's only halfway through.

It seemed to have "grown" directly from the depths of the celestial ship, or even from the void, yet it also seemed to have been forcibly broken here by some irresistible force.

The tree trunk is as thick as the ridge of a mountain range, yet it presents a lifeless, withered state, its gray and white surfaces covered with traces of time.

However, amidst this deathly desolation, the tree's texture faintly reveals a flowing, pale blue halo, like a sealed galaxy.

March 7th was somewhat mesmerized by what she saw, and subconsciously tugged at Xing's sleeve, pointing to the strange sight: "Xing, look, what's that?"

Upon hearing this, Tingyun, who was walking slightly ahead of the group, did not stop. Her fox ears twitched slightly, and when her eyes, which always carried a shrewd smile, looked at Jianmu, a faint, elusive, complex emotion seemed to flash across them.

She introduced herself in a slightly languid and alluring voice:

"What you benefactors see is an ancient tree called 'Jianmu'."

"Legend has it that this is a divine miracle bestowed by the ancient god 'Feng Rao,' and it is also a treasure that my 'Luofu' Immortal Ship was once very proud of~"

Her tone made it sound like she was recounting an old legend that had nothing to do with her.

But whether it was just her imagination or not, the words "proud of" and "treasure" seemed to be unconsciously stretched out by her, conveying a faint...longing.

It was just a fleeting moment, so fast that the viewers in the live stream didn't have time to examine it closely, simply assuming it was Tingyun's unique tone when recounting history.

The bluebird beside him chimed in, pointing to the half-dead log: "Don't let its current half-dead state fool you. According to the ancient texts, in its prime, it could 'climb the heavens and hang the stars'!"

March 7th struggled to process these eight classically written characters, her little face filled with confusion: "What does this mean?"

Walter adjusted his glasses and translated in his usual calm tone: "It means that at its peak, this tree was so tall that it could touch the sky, and its outstretched branches... could hang the stars on it."

"Wow..." March 7th opened his mouth wide, and when he looked at the half-dead tree again, his eyes were filled with amazement.

The group did not linger and continued to follow Qingque to the Taibusi.

Before long, a magnificent and intricately structured government building complex, exuding mystery in every aspect, came into view.

Reaching the tightly closed main gate, Qingque turned back, her expression unusually serious, and lowered her voice to say:

"Ahem, when we get to the Apostolic Palace, everyone stick close to me and don't wander off."

"Although you are guests invited by the Grand Diviner, she hates people who don't follow the rules and disrupt her rhythm the most."

"Whatever you do, don't provoke her."

Walter nodded, representing the train crew: "We are only here to listen in and ask questions, to understand the situation, and we will leave as soon as we are done. We will not cause any further disturbance."

The comments section immediately filled with messages:

"Star: You're right, but rules are meant to be broken!"

"[Star: Great minds think alike! (Thumbs up.jpg)]"

"The architectural style of the Temple of the Sacred Heart... has a kind of futuristic yet ancient aesthetic. The interior must be even more breathtaking, right?"

"I'm already looking forward to the Diviner's appearance!"

......

However, the awkward moment that followed shattered everyone's expectations.

Qingque stepped forward and naturally reached out to pull the huge door knocker—but it wouldn't budge.

She pushed the heavy door again—it didn't budge.

"Huh?" Qingque was stunned. She leaned forward and examined the crack in the door carefully, then fiddled with the door knocker for a moment, looking completely bewildered. "I don't understand... why is the front door locked? I never lock the front door before... and no one reminded me to bring my keys today..."

On March 7th, a voice murmured from behind her, "Are you really one of the Tabushi's people?"

Xing crossed her arms, thoughtfully speculating, "Is it possible... you've already been fired? They just haven't had a chance to tell you yet?"

Qingque scratched her head in confusion: "That doesn't make sense! I've already been demoted to a sinecure managing the library, what more does she want?"

However, this small difficulty is obviously no challenge for a seasoned "slacking off route planner".

Qingque's eyes darted around, and she waved her little hand: "It's alright! The front gate is blocked, let's go through the side gate! Follow me!"

She led the group around to a rather hidden, inconspicuous little door on the side of the Tabuan.

There appears to be an inscription above the door, but it is partially obscured by vines.

"Look, this is it," Qingque introduced, a hint of pride in her voice. "Those who work at the Imperial Apostles' Office call it 'The Gate of Leisure.'"

The comments section burst into laughter instantly:

"From this angle, with the three train crew members and Tingyun standing together, Qingque really looks so petite! So cute!"

"General, please take the side path" (unfounded association)

"Speaking of which, isn't Qingque also a quantum-attribute ship? Aren't we short of a pilot for our quantum warship?"

"And Spark can also restore battle points, allowing Blue Sparrow to continue gambling, it's simply perfect..."

"With four players using the 'no-needle' skill and the added damage boost, they can easily unleash devastating nuclear-level damage."

Seele: I suddenly have a bad feeling...

......

The scene shifts, and the group has entered the Taibusi (a secret society) through the "Xiaoyao Gate".

In contrast to the solemn and majestic exterior, the interior space is much taller and deeper, with countless suspended jade units slowly rotating, flowing with the faint light of data, forming a mysterious and technologically advanced star map.

At the center is a huge circular platform made of glowing runes, with intricate floating hexagram projections connected to its edges, creating a spectacular sight.

Qingque led the way, not forgetting to fulfill her duty as a "tour guide," pointing to the central platform and introducing it:

"Ahead lies the magnificent Jade Sign Calculation Array, a source of immense pride for our Taibu Division!" She explained, combining her understanding, "Simply put, the Jade Signs are the supercomputing units specially crafted by the Immortal Ship, and this 'Qiong Guan Array' is a tool composed of countless Jade Signs connected in parallel, working together to simulate 'intelligence' deduction, divination, and analysis of massive amounts of information!"

Bullet comments:

"Got it, the Xianzhou version of the supercomputer cluster."

"Wow, so the divination by the Grand Diviner was actually a scientific deduction! It's high-tech fortune telling!"

"Is 'Qiong Guan Zhen' essentially a lower-spec version of 'Bo Shi Zun', a limited-edition skin for the Immortal Boat event?"

"The God of Fate, the Heavenly Ruler, and the Ancestor of Calamity."

"Friendly, Neutral, Hostile".
