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

How could he say such a thing?

[Does it matter: ...Is it too late for me to die now?]

[Fu Xuan: It's probably too late. You've been talking about it in the comments for a long time now. Your glorious deeds have probably been seen by the entire world.]

[Qingque: Lord Taibu, what you're saying... General Youwu is also anxious; he's doing it for the good of the Immortal Ship...]

[Fu Xuan: For the good of the Immortal Ship? So in the previous storyline, the Immortal Ship was killed because of his good intentions.]

[Presence or Absence: ......]

I feel like dying even more.

He glanced at the merciless reply from the immortal boat. A shard of teacup pierced his palm; it hurt, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

How could he think that the Immortal Ship was qualified to negotiate with that person? How could he think that the Immortal Ship's "dignity" was more important than the survival of the universe? How could he think... the Immortal Ship wouldn't go down that path?

[Yes or no: Fu Xuan Taibu is right, I really can't see the situation clearly, and I can't see myself in the image...]

[Yes or No: But please believe me, the real-world immortal ship will not reach that point.]

[Feixiao: Is it a little late to say all this now?]

[Whether it's there or not: It's too late to say.]

[Yes or no: I'm wrong, I admit it, I'll accept it no matter what...]

Headquarters of Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Toppa leaned back in his chair, glancing at the few comments in the live chat that could be described as humble, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.

[Topa: General You Wu must be regretting it now.]

[Gold Sand: What do you regret? Do you regret speaking too absolutely? Or do you regret not shutting up sooner?]

[Topa: Does he regret being the first to stick his neck out?]

[Gold Sand: What's there to regret? If he doesn't step forward, someone else will. The opposition within the Immortal Ship won't disappear just because he's silent. He's just a mirror, reflecting the true thoughts of the Immortal Ship.]

[Jade: Yes, he's not the root of the problem; he's just a signal, a signal that the Celestial Ship isn't ready to bow down yet.]

[Cang Gang: We already died once in the previous storyline, and we're still not ready for this one? Is the Immortal Ship's reaction time a bit too long?]

Opal: Who knows?

[Jade: He was merely a general, not a decision-maker. His opposition stemmed less from the interests of the Immortal Ship and more from his own beliefs. He believed the Immortal Ship was right, so he opposed it; he believed the Emperor Bow Master would protect them, so he opposed it; he believed the Immortal Ship's "dignity" was paramount, so he opposed it. Jiang Jiu, however, didn't believe in any of that. He believed in evidence, logic, and the results.]

[Topa: Oh? That's interesting. So, who's right and who's wrong?]

[Jade: There is no right or wrong, only positions. He stands on the side of the Immortal Ship, while Jiang Jiu stands on the side of the Universe. He is upholding the "dignity" of the Immortal Ship, while Jiang Jiu is upholding the "survival" of the Universe.]

[Jade: When dignity clashes with survival, one side must always compromise.]

Jade gently swirled the wine in the glass.

They all knew that whether or not someone spoke up was merely an example set by those on Xianzhou who held opposing views; the fact that others hadn't spoken up didn't mean they didn't think the same way.

The decisions made by Xianzhou cannot be made by one person alone.

They're just innocent scapegoats.

Unfortunately, the company has no obligation to defend unrelated people.

Look, even the immortal ship itself isn't protecting it.

In the video, more and more people are echoing the view that something exists or doesn't, and their words are becoming increasingly heated.

"What makes him so special? Just because he's a member of the Genius Club? Just because he's a Guardian Token Envoy? But... our Immortal Ship has never lacked Token Envoys."

"The Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow are not just a name without substance."

"And... are the hunting arrows really weaker than the Amber King's hammer?"

"Our immortal ship truly has a Star God behind it... What about them? Can we guarantee that the Star God behind us will definitely take action?"

The more intense their words, the more the audience will be drawn into the spectacle.

Go ahead and say it.

Go ahead and do it.

How can we enjoy the show if we don't act?

It would be best to completely destroy yourself; who wouldn't want one less competitor to compete for resources in the world?

In the video, Hua remained silent for a long time.

She spoke softly, interrupting the discussion in the council hall: "Is there a general?"

Did he turn to her and ask, "What are your instructions, Marshal?"

Hua looked at him calmly.

“You’re right. Logically speaking, we are just asking for a discussion, not refusing to cooperate… Shi Jin’s actions do seem like he’s forcing us to give in.”

You Wu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the marshal to agree with his point of view. After all, he was just angry, and the final decision still rested with the marshal.

Yes, the final decision-making power always rested with the marshal.

"But..." Hua changed the subject, calmly asking, "General, have you considered... why the other side can't wait?"

After a brief pause, the barrage of comments on the screen surged forth again in a completely different form.

The previous gloating, mockery, and situation analysis have all temporarily receded, replaced by utter surprise.

[Topa: ? Shouldn't she continue to be tough or stall? How come she suddenly...got it?]

[Jade: A Wise Choice. Negotiations truly begin when one party starts trying to understand the other's logic, rather than clinging to their own.]

[Jade: Now it all depends on her understanding. Will she understand Jiang Jiu's helplessness, or will she understand the danger Jiang Jiu is in?]

[Cang Gang: I bet she understood the danger. After all, the whole world is on the opposite side. If she still can't see the danger, she might as well give me the marshal's position.]

[Shu Ju: ...If you sit on it, the immortal ship will probably perish even faster.]

[Qingque: So... the Immortal Boat is going to agree?]

[Fu Xuan: Not necessarily, but at least it's better than last time...?]

[Blue Sparrow: Cool!!!]

[Su Chang: Pop the champagne!!! Finally, we don't have to die!! Where are the prosperous people?! Why aren't you shouting anymore?!]

[Huo Huo: That's great!]

Xianzhou: Hehe.

Fengrao Min: No, not at all.

The images didn't linger on the fairy ship, but returned to the Black Tower Space Station.

At this moment, Jiang Jiu was leaning against the window, seemingly dealing with something.

Hei Ta picked up Jiang Jiu's phone, which had a black screen, from the table, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow: "It's crashed."

Jiang Jiu turned his head to look at her: "What?"

Hei Ta handed over the phone, and Jiang Jiu pressed it twice, but there was no response.

"...Was it really that bad? They were completely crushed."

Jiang Jiu placed his phone on the experimental table, performed a few simple operations, and connected the phone to the supercomputer of the Black Tower Space Station.

After restarting the computer, a dense stream of messages appeared.

...Indeed, there are many.

Jiang Jiu scrolled through the messages, ignoring everyone, and casually swiped a few times before finally fixing his fingertip on Xianzhou's reply.

All eyes were on Xianzhou's reply.

[Fairy Boat: ......]

"..."

Jiang Jiu stared at Xianzhou's final reply, his gaze gradually turning cold: "So... all you're doing is reconsidering the terms...?"

[Topa: You praised me too early.]

[Jadeite: Excellent, we can witness the miracle of the King of Amber.]

[Cang Gang: A miracle! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? I've been waiting since the last storyline ended! And now it's finally here!]

[Shuju: Calm down, we haven't even started yet.]

[Cang Gang: Anyway, the Immortal Boat has already paved the way to a dead end, Jiang Jiu won't tolerate it anymore, the Amber King is about to make his move, just wait and see.]

The silence of the Xianzhou barrage is the carnival of the people of Fengrao.

[Fengraomin·Wing Builder: Hahahaha! Did you guys see Jiang Jiu's expression? That tone! Utterly disappointed! Immortal Ship, you're finished!]

[Fengraomin·Huiqu: We're finished! We're finished! We're finished! Why aren't you guys popping champagne anymore, Xianzhou? Hahahaha... I'm going to etch the destruction of Xianzhou onto Fengraomin's monument!]

[The Fertile People, the Wing Builders: A monument? No, no, no! We will weave the destruction of the Celestial Ship into a song, to be sung for generations to come! Let every descendant of the Fertile People know how the Celestial Ship brought about its own demise!]

[Fengraomin·Huiqu: Great idea! I've already thought of a song title! It'll be called "The Demise of the Immortal Ship"! The first line of the lyrics is: "The Immortal Ship is disobedient, insisting on raising insects, raising insects but refusing to acknowledge it, and even playing dirty tricks on the savior~"]

[Fengraomin·Wing Builder: Hahahaha! I never thought that after being a villain my whole life, I'd have a few chances to be a hero! Awesome!!!]

In the video, Jiang Jiu had a brief conversation with Interstellar Peace Company, which almost excitedly agreed and was eager to help.

Jiang Jiu scrolled through the messages on his phone, and everyone noticed that Jiang Jiu had more allies this time than expected.

Not only did the family explicitly express their willingness to help, but the combat power that the Interstellar Peace Corporation offered was also far superior to that of Kamijou Kanekage.

Screwgoom directly stated that Screwgoom was willing to help. Leaving aside the Black Tower and the Sea Ranger, Onpharos's combat power should not be underestimated.

What was rather unexpected was that Xingxiao and Huanlong actually offered to help.

Let nature take its course.

"The Great Lord Shi Jin of Annihilation has directly and publicly declared war on the Immortal Ship."

One word can start a conversation that resonates from all directions.

"The Nameless Guest unconditionally supports Lord Shi Jin."

"The Starry Sky Train unconditionally supports Lord Shi Jin."
