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

In the video, the two seemed to be communicating harmoniously.

Jiang Jiu even sighed.

"If only everyone else on the Immortal Ship were as easy to communicate with as you."

Jingyuan was at a loss.

Resigned, Jiang Jiuxian asked what he would do, what he would do, and what the consequences would be.

Jing Yuan asked proactively, "Did the Immortal Ship use the remains of its breeding to attack the Abundant Star God? Could this trigger a global locust plague?"

"To be precise, it's a global locust plague at its maximum. When the swarm encounters abundance, it's doomed. They're inexhaustible and won't stop until they wipe out the entire universe?"

Jing Yuan: "......"

Jiang Jiu didn't actually believe that just by saying a few words, Jing Yuan would completely believe it, or that if Jing Yuan believed it, Xian Zhou would definitely change his mind.

If all else fails, the Amber King will probably step in, right? He definitely will...

"Okay, that's all for now."

Jiang Jiu stood up: "I don't want to communicate with Hua, nor do I want to start a war. I'm not that free. I can take responsibility for my words. I will give you the relevant evidence later."

"But if the fairy boat's response does not satisfy me, this evidence will spread throughout the entire world."

Jingyuan forced himself to remain calm.

"What...do you want?"

“Rakshasa, Mirror Stream, and Remains of Reproduction.” Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and added, “The main thing is the Remains of Reproduction. I only want Mirror Stream and Rakshasa to make sure they are harmless. I don’t care if they have nothing to do with the end.”

"...Okay, I will pass on the message to the Marshal."

Jing Yuan concluded.

"Then I'll hope you don't bring me any unpleasant news."

[Topa: It seems the situation is clear now. Jiang Jiu is too lazy to argue with Xianzhou anymore. He gave him a chance before, but Xianzhou didn't cherish it. Now he doesn't want to waste any more time.]

[Gold Sand: After all, the core issue with the Immortal Ship is the reproduction of the remains. If they hand over the remains, everything else is negotiable. But the Immortal Ship is dragging its feet on this matter. Anyone would be annoyed in that situation.]

[Jade: General Jingyuan's current situation is very delicate. Does he believe Jiang Jiu's words? He does, but he can't make a decision on behalf of the Immortal Ship. He doesn't believe them? The evidence is conclusive. He can only relay messages and wait.]

[Opal: Wait? Wait for what? Wait for the Marshal to nod? Wait for the higher-ups of the Celestial Ship to reach a conclusion? Wait for the insects to devour the Celestial Ship clean?]

[Cang Gang: Opal, you've gone a bit too far with that.]

[Opal: Is that right? I remember the fairy boat in the last video was destroyed in the same way.]

The barrage of comments on Xianzhou's screen seemed unusually silent under the company's relentless bombardment.

[Black Swan: At least Jiang Jiu is willing to provide evidence and let the Immortal Boat decide...]

[Black Swan: Wait a minute, where did the evidence come from???]

[Fireworks: Oh no, a black swan! Danger!]

The image on the screen went dark for two seconds, and before it lit up again, a somewhat helpless complaint was heard first.

"Yes, the timeline is so messy, I've forgotten."

"If I hadn't checked the current location of the Star Train, I wouldn't have remembered that the time when Mirror Stream was sent to Jade Palace was also the time when the Star Train left Pinocone for the next planet."

In the video, Jiang Jiu sits on the sofa with a somewhat resigned expression, and next to him is... Xi Lian.

[Xi Lian: Huh? Onpharos?]

Xi Lian placed a cup of tea in front of Jiang Jiu.

"Don't worry, in my opinion, although the time is a bit tight, we still have enough time, don't we?"

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Bai E walked over from not far away. He was wearing loose sportswear and his back was to the sun, making him look very sunny.

"You seem to be in a difficult position."

[Aglaia: This outfit...]

Aglaia stared into thought as she looked at the white, yellow, and purple outfit in the video.

[Aglaia: Not being able to completely salvage your aesthetic sense is truly the only regret I've had in my thirty million lifetimes...]

[That Summer: Although I really don't want to agree with you, you're right about this.]

[Bai Er: ...Is it really that bad?]

[Aglaia: Yes!]

[That Moment Summer: Yes!]

[Bai E: Cough cough... Gold and purple look really good together...]

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before asking, "Speaking of which... it's been thousands of years, hasn't it? How come you haven't changed much?"

"The reasons are somewhat complicated."

"I won't ask about anything complicated," Jiang Jiu said nonchalantly. "It's good that everyone's here."

Bai E picked up a cup and poured himself a glass of water, his movements as natural as if he were at home.

“But speaking of which, Jiang Jiu, you don’t seem to have changed at all.” Bai E said, looking at Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu blinked and said calmly, "I've been asleep for thousands of years. Strictly speaking, for me, our last meeting was only a few days ago."

"You're dealing with something important as soon as you wake up?" Bai E asked.

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "If I hadn't had to deal with these things, I wouldn't have woken up now, so... it's better not to expect to see me."

"Don't say that..."

Seeing that Bai E was trying to appease him, Jiang Jiu shook his head.

"That's not what I came here to talk about."

Xi Lian asked curiously, "So what do you want to do? If there's anything we can do to help, please feel free to ask!"

"No, not really, I just..."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, and was about to speak, but suddenly paused.

What was Leonphalus doing again?

"What is it?" Bai E pressed.

Jiang Jiu: "..."

He was silent for two seconds, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"forget."

Bai E: "Huh???...Forgot?"

[Sai Fei'er: Pfft—I knew this guy was weird! Seeing how composed he was before, I thought he had a whole cosmic chronicle in his head! Turns out he's just a forgetful ordinary person!]

[Aglaia: Sefaria, he's no "ordinary person."]

[Sai Fei'er: Oh, I wasn't just using a metaphor! I was just saying that he also has his moments of confusion, isn't that funny!]

[That Summer: Ha, an Intellectual Envoy, with disordered memories, this is hardly an interesting thing.]

[Xia Die: A little-known fact... Jiang Jiu's history seems to be consistently unfavorable.]

[Su Chang: Don't make things difficult for someone who's trying to destroy himself. It's already quite good that he can remember what he's supposed to do.]

[Su Chang: Wait a minute...? He's a self-destructer!]

Jiang Jiu nodded calmly.

"Hmm, I forgot, it's not important."

Xi Lian and Bai E exchanged a glance, sensing something was wrong, and began to press for answers. Halfway through their questioning, they discovered that the person in question seemed unusually indifferent.

Suddenly a voice broke in.

"Hey, what are you talking about? The atmosphere is so tense. Xiaobai and Xilian are here, but the atmosphere isn't lively at all. This isn't like you guys. Let me guess... Could it be that you're talking about the side effects of nothingness?"

Jiang Jiu turned his head to look.

Sai Fei'er leaned against the door frame, dressed in neat clothes, with a short knife at her waist. Sunlight shone in from behind her, and her two cat ears twitched slightly.

"Don't look at me like that. What? Did I say something wrong?"

[Sai Fei: Huh?? I actually made an appearance? And at a time like this?]

[Bai'er: Saifeier, your tone is still so... direct.]

[Sai Fei'er: This is called being straightforward! Do you understand what straightforwardness is? Unlike some people, who can think of eight hundred things in their mind but can't utter a single word.]

[Aglaia: Sefaria, watch your wording.]

[Saifei: Oh, I'm sorry.]

[Sai Fei'er: But this new outfit is actually quite nice, it looks really cool.]

[Aglaia: ...If you like, I can have one custom-made for you.]

Sai Fei'er held a half-eaten apple in her hand and looked at Jiang Jiu with great interest.

Jiang Jiu glanced at her, then smiled.

"Maybe," he said. "Those who self-destruct always have to pay a price."

He genuinely doesn't care.

Saifei took a bite of the apple, the crisp sound particularly noticeable in the room.

She chewed it, then shook the apple core in her hand, and casually tossed it into the trash can with a smooth, effortless motion.

"The price of self-destruction..." she drawled, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Jiu's face, "...sounds pretty scary, but..."

She suddenly smiled, a sly glint in her sky-blue eyes.

"Something that would make someone like you willing to pay this price must be quite terrifying, right?"

[Saifei: Strange, when did we become so close?]

Saifeier understands herself quite well.
