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

Hua closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, the sharpness in them had dimmed considerably.

"...Shi Jin." Her voice was hoarse. "What exactly do you want?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent for a second.

“I’ve given them chances, many times.”

He looked into Hua's eyes, feeling somewhat weary: "But if you don't cherish it, there's nothing I can do. You don't listen to me, so I can only use my own way to make you listen."

[Hanabi: Huh? Why did you stop fighting and start chatting? What's going on? Are you surrendering?]

[Cloud Cavalry: Shut up! The Emperor's Bow Master is still here! The hunting arrows are still here! As long as we stand, the Immortal Ship has not lost!]

[The people of the Immortal Ship: But... where is the Emperor Bow Master? Why hasn't He come yet? Why won't He save us?]

The chat was silent for a moment.

[Feixiao: ...That's enough. The Emperor's Bow's fate? Isn't this chaotic enough?]

[Cloud Cavalry: The Immortal Ships Fight to the Death...]

“I surrender,” Hua said.

[Cloud Cavalry: ...? ? ? ? ? ? ]

We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

[Cloud Cavalry: Marshal—!!!]

[Cloud Cavalry: No—! We haven't lost yet! Marshal! You can't surrender!!!]

Hua raised her head and met Jiang Jiu's gaze.

"Immortal Ship... We surrender unconditionally. Mirror Stream and Rakshasa, we hand them over. Remains of Procreation, we hand them over. Whatever you want, we'll hand it over."

"I only ask one thing of you..."

“Spare those innocent civilians. They know nothing. They just... want to live.”

[People of the Immortal Ship: The Marshal has surrendered... The Marshal actually surrendered for our sake...?]

[Hanabi: Why not surrender? Are we just going to get taken out?]

[Jade: From the destruction of the Immortal Ship in the previous storyline, to Jiang Jiu's public declaration of war in this storyline, and then to the Allied Forces breaking through the Immortal Ship's defenses, the Marshal has held out long enough; she has little choice left.]

[Topa: Do you think she did it for the people of Xianzhou, or for the dignity of Xianzhou?]

[Jade: For the survival of the Immortal Ship.]

[Cang Gang: So... that's it? What about Amber King's hammer blow? I was waiting to see Amber King make his move!]

Everyone is wondering whether Jiang Jiu will let Xianzhou go.

It doesn't matter whether I let it go or not.

In the video, Jiang Jiu watched as the once proud Marshal of the Immortal Ship stood before him, laying down his weapons and dignity, begging him to spare the innocent people.

He paused for two seconds, then calmly asked, "Now?"

"But now that things have come to this, there are no conditions left that can be accepted."

Hua's body jolted violently: "Shi Jin!!"

She practically screamed, "We surrender! We give up! What else do you want?!"

Jiang Jiu looked at her and calmly shook his head.

"late."

The chat on Xianzhou exploded the moment Jiang Jiu said "too late".

Countless comments flooded in at the same time, densely packed and layered, making it impossible to see anything clearly. All that could be seen were exclamation marks and question marks, as well as words filled with shock, anger, and resentment.

[Cloud Cavalry: What do you mean it's too late? We surrender! We admit defeat! What more does he want?!]

[Cloud Cavalry: The Marshal has laid down his weapons! He has already won! Why is he saying it's too late?! What does he really want?!]

[People of the Immortal Ship: Is he trying to wipe us all out? We've already surrendered... why... why do he still want to...?]

[Su Chang: I don't understand... I really don't understand... Surrendering isn't enough? Handing over the remains isn't enough? Handing over Jing Liu isn't enough? What does he want from me to let the Immortal Boat go?!]

[Gui Naifen: It's probably... really too late. He seems... really angry...]

[Qingque: It's the same on the previous storyline, and it's the same on this one. Every time I give someone a chance, they reject me every time. Anyone would be angry...]

[Star: But Jiang Jiu's face doesn't even have an expression.]

[Star: I can't tell he's angry.]

[Fireworks: You expect a self-destructive person to get angry? Heh, that's interesting~]

In the video, perhaps Jiang Jiu's tone was too calm, so calm that Hua didn't want to believe it.

She looked into those emotionless purple eyes and gritted her teeth.

"Shi Jin... do you really intend to wipe them all out?"

Hua watched his actions, a flash of anger crossing his eyes.

"Haven't you killed enough innocent people?!"

She pointed to the civilians fleeing in panic amidst the flames: "Those people! Those Cloud Cavalry! Those civilians who know nothing! What did they do wrong?!"

"It's all our fault, they know nothing! Aren't they innocent? Shi Jin! You killed so many innocent people, doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

Jiang Jiu stood still, gripping his sword, looking at Hua.

"And what about me?" he asked softly.

Jiang Jiu stared into Hua's eyes and asked, word by word, in a frighteningly calm tone: "And what about me? Should I die?"

"I can let you go, but who will let me go?"

quiet--

[Fireworks: Why is nobody talking now? Okay, I'll say something then.]

[Fireworks: That shouldn't be.]

[Fireworks: That timeline was far more desperate than everyone imagined. Even if everyone else deserved to die, he didn't.]

[Fireworks: How can this not be considered him dying for the whole world? Quickly say thank you, Jiang Jiu!]

[March 7th: Thank you, Jiang Jiu!]

[Fireworks: March babies are so supportive!]

[Aglaia: He finally said it...]

Saifei sat on the windowsill, her cat ears standing straight up, her tail swaying gently behind her.

[Sai Fei'er: I suddenly feel that he's not cool at all anymore; he looks pathetic.]

[Sai Fei'er: The title of savior is too heavy. Let's not call Xiaobai the savior anymore; it's too cumbersome.]

[Bai E: ...I am deeply moved.]

Everyone speculated, but in the footage, Jiang Jiu didn't seem to show any emotion from beginning to end.

Angry? Furious?

I didn't realize it; it was as if I had simply asked the question.

A simple rhetorical question devoid of any emotion.

Jiang Jiu calmly explained the current situation, sentence by sentence. The insect plague that was spreading all over the world was not a lie. Every time a global locust plague broke out, the entire timeline would be irreversibly destroyed. This was all the work of the Immortal Ship, so they were not innocent.

"Shi Jin," her voice was hoarse, "Do you...do you really think the Immortal Boat must die?"

Jiang Jiu paused for a second, then gently shook his head.

“I don’t think so,” he replied, “but you guys make me think so.”

[Dahlia: Since Xianzhou didn't want a chance, she can't blame Jiang Jiu for being so ruthless, can she?]

"Time's End..."

Hua's voice suddenly became calmer: "Do you really think you can win?"

Jiang Jiu looked at her, a fleeting hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, but it disappeared in the next moment.

Hua took a deep breath, straightened her back, and upheld the last vestige of dignity she had as the Marshal of the Immortal Ship.

Do you know who's behind the fairy boat?

Her voice became clearer as she spoke, word by word.

"It's a hunting trip."

......

(Even if I rush, I still won't be able to finish writing it until tomorrow. Hmm... I can at least ask for a little gift for my love of writing today, please motivate me with your love of writing!)

Watching the Movie (Seventy-Seven) - Afraid the Hunting Trip Will End, and Afraid the Hunting Trip Will Never End

The character "华" is clearly written.

"He has watched the Immortal Ship for thousands of years... The direction the Immortal Ship's arrows point is the direction of His gaze. Do you think you can win by gathering these forces? Do you think the company's fleet, antimatter legion, and that messy rabble can withstand the wrath of the Star God?"

She looked directly into Jiang Jiu's eyes, her voice rising higher and higher: "The difference between a Star God and a Commander is like an insurmountable chasm!"

"If you stop now, I'll let bygones be bygones! We'll hand over Mirror Stream and Rakshasa, we'll hand over the Remains of Procreation, we'll hand over whatever you want!"

“But if you insist on continuing the fight…” Her voice paused, then carried a final threat, “all that awaits you is the wrath of the hunters!”

[Fireworks: Close the door! Release the Amber King!!!]

At the Black Tower Space Station, Jiang Jiu leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but smile when he heard Hua say on the sky, "What awaits you is only the wrath of the hunters."

Heita sat next to him, holding a nearly empty box of chocolates. She was holding one between her fingers, about to put it in her mouth, when she heard him and turned her head to look at him.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Jiu said softly, with a hint of laziness. "I just thought it was kind of fun to use the Star God to intimidate me, don't you think?"

Heta put the chocolate in his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and then reached out and ruffled his hair.
