Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

“He doesn’t care about being recognized; in fact, he might even want people to know that he is here.”

Himeko took a sip of her coffee. "The Star Gods are high above, the embodiment of destiny, the extension of will. They never deign to speak directly with mortals."

"This Goddess of Joy... really is..."

Do whatever you want.

The two looked at each other and then remained silent.

For the next period of time, the barrage of comments was almost completely dominated by the "fun faction".

The people in the tavern were always very outspoken.

Now that their own Star God has arrived, they've completely lost all sense of restraint.

The main theme is that it can be as crazy as you want.

furious!!!

There were so many Star Gods present!

The combined forces of the Destruction Hunters, the Void, and others couldn't outdo the Joy...

It really proves the saying: "A person who enjoys himself is the best in the world!"

In short, no matter how abstract the pleasurable believer may be, in the images, Aha has already happily begun to undermine his allies.

A mask flew off Jiang Jiu's body, floated in mid-air twice, and was then put on.

Jiang Jiu: "...???"

Aha floated up to Jiang Jiu and sincerely offered his advice.

"What's so great about that madman? Why don't you join Aha? Aha guarantees that everything you do from now on will be a lot of fun!"

If it's just ordinary fun, Aha might just watch it and that's it.

Mainly, it's so much fun!

Several star gods haven't met for hundreds of years, but this little guy's appearance has created a grand spectacle!

Ah-ha loves this job!

Nanuk was still at loggerheads with the hunters over the bugs on the ship when he turned around and found that his rival had been poached.

Nanook: "..."

Ahab almost single-handedly drew all the hatred points from the Hunt and Destruction.

"...I refuse." Jiang Jiu tugged at his mask, then, realizing he couldn't remove it, felt a headache coming on. "Three destinies are already in chaos; adding another one would easily drive a person insane..."

[Fireworks: They actually rejected the Star God's blessing outright?]

[Fireworks: What an interesting guy! He deserves to be a part of our joyful destiny!]

Silver Wolf: Hmm, I agree with that. Perfect for playing games with me.

[Feiying: But can one person really reach the position of Commander through so many destinies? The Star God of Joy definitely intends to give it to the Commander, right?]

[Sambo: It must be.]

Aha was shocked: "You're still not insane?"

Jiang Jiu: "...?"

So you're disappointed that I'm not crazy?

Jiang Jiu almost laughed out of anger.

With the Destruction Star God at his back and the power of fate flowing through him, Jiang Jiu tugged at his mask again, and this time he finally ripped it off.

This inexplicable farce did not last long.

Because, after being briefly distracted by Aha, Lan Na's arrows re-locked onto Jiang Jiu.

The silvery-white arrowhead gleamed with a sharp edge, carrying a chilling killing intent born from repeated provocation.

Jiang Jiu didn't care about death; this world was also a line where death was inevitable, so he didn't care.

He stopped dodging and instead stepped forward to meet the hunting arrow that was locked onto him, directly confronting Lan's blurry yet majestic figure.

"The Star-Hunting God".

Jiang Jiu spoke, his voice not loud, but very calm.

Can I ask you a question?

Movie Viewing (16) - Shoot and Blast the Azure Star

In the scene, Jiang Jiu did not look at Lan, but rather at the shattered immortal ship that had been ravaged by both destruction and the insect swarm. He asked a question.

"I ask you, do you hunt for abundance, pursue evil creatures, and protect the immortal ship because you hate the distortions and suffering brought about by immortality, and because you want to end the disaster caused by the Medicine Master's blessing, is that right?"

“I know that the Immortal Boat Alliance follows the will of the Hunt and has always taken eliminating the Abundance and killing the Pharmacist as its highest goal, even at all costs, even if it means... touching taboos and getting burned, in order to forge a sharp blade that can be aimed at the Pharmacist.”

He paused, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

"Then... what if, in their pursuit of forging this 'sharp blade,' they themselves become a more terrifying and uncontrollable catastrophe than the Abundant Spoils?"

"If they insist on taking that path... using the remains of the breeding, colluding with those of unknown origin, and turning their swords against the bounty... will it ultimately lead not only to the fall of the apothecary, but also drag the entire universe into its end?"

Jiang Jiu's voice suddenly rose, and his tone became questioning.

"Then please tell me... at that time, the Emperor's Bow Master—"

"Will you still protect them, even at the cost of dragging the entire universe down with you...?"

"Or will you... turn your arrows and point them at them?"

This question caused a moment of silence in the already chaotic scene.

[Huanlong: Something seems... off?]

[Huanlong: Buhao!! The Immortal Ship is my target!! Shijin, where are you going to put it!!!]

Huanlong is a little vulnerable.

But compared to Huanlong's emotions, Xianzhou's mood at this moment felt like he was on a roller coaster.

The public's mood is more tense and complex than ever before.

The tension was even greater than seeing the insect plague inside the immortal ship, and even more so than when the Star God of Destruction attacked the immortal ship.

What is Jiang Jiu asking?

He was asking the Star God of Hunting, the Star God who had protected the Immortal Ship for thousands of years, whether he would turn his arrow... towards the Immortal Ship.

They fear the collapse of their faith more than death.

[Yanqing: General, the Imperial Bow Master...]

Jingyuan: ...He is listening.

[Yanqing: But the question that person asked—]

Jing Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his golden eyes held a complex and indescribable emotion.

Faced with all this, he felt... mentally exhausted.

Public opinion surrounding Xianzhou has reached a point where it's almost impossible to suppress.

Even if it's just an image.

If... if Emperor Bow Master had simply given up, stood by, or firmly stood on the side of the Immortal Ship, then public opinion on the Immortal Ship might still be under control.

But if...

He looked at Jiang Jiu's figure, and a deep sense of powerlessness spread through his heart.

"Will you continue to protect them, even at the cost of the entire universe, or will you turn your arrows against them?"

Jingyuan didn't know.

He dared not guess.

Seeing Jingyuan's reaction, Yanqing remained silent.

He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, staring at the hunting figure on the screen confronting destruction. Suddenly, he felt that his sword was very light, so light that it could not cut anything.

What...can he do?

The celestial boat and jade palace, the council hall.

As Yao Guang looked at the figure on the screen confronting the hunter, his fingers unconsciously curled up.

[Yao Guang: ...He asked a question we never dared to ask.]

[Fu Xuan: What?]

[Yao Guang: If the Immortal Ship makes a mistake, will the Emperor Bow and Fate Master still stand on our side?]

Fu Xuan remained silent.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

She wanted to say that the Emperor's Bow and Fate would never abandon the Immortal Ship, that the hunting arrows would always be aimed at abundance, and that the Immortal Ship's path was not wrong...

But she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Because the celestial ship in the video is telling her—through the breeding queen insects, through the out-of-control swarms, and through the devastated ruins—

The path that Xianzhou took may indeed have been wrong.

Immortal boats and jade palaces.

A little fox-girl was tugging at her mother's clothes, her tail fur slightly bristling.

She asked in a low voice.

"Mom, the Emperor of Bows and Fates... will always protect us, right?"

Her mother placed her hand on her heart, somewhat hesitant and nervous.

Just before she spoke.

She saw the arrow of the Emperor's Bow Master slowly aiming at Jiang Jiu's figure.
