"Become... a Star God?"
Although I tried my best to control myself, I was still deeply shocked.
After catching his breath, Ainz's voice was slightly amused. The profound meaning in his voice made Demiurge tremble with excitement, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
His voice was cheerful. "Yes, Ainz-sama. Once you gain more information about fate and the Star Gods, you will fully possess the ability to become a Magical Star God. You will not only be the Supreme Ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, but also the ruler of this world... You will be the ruler of countless worlds."
"I see...that's what you think."
"That woman named Kafka said, 'The stronger party will destroy the weaker party.' With Lord Ainz's strength, destroying the other Star Gods is certainly a piece of cake." Demiurge's tone was full of confidence, and his transparent glasses seemed to reflect the future he imagined.
"It is truly my happiness to continue to serve the Supreme God, the Supreme Being..."
"..."
Ainz remained silent, his face turned away in embarrassment. He looked at the other Guardians kneeling before the throne, the worship and reverence in their eyes filling his heart with a flutter.
——This is completely flattering him, right? Who can defeat a monster of Star God's level?!
And this [Mage] destiny, Ainz is too exhausted to complain... How many people can have such a bizarre destiny? If he becomes a Star God, it seems he'll be the first to be swallowed up by the other destinies!

“This is a story that those who walk the right path will never tell you.” Kafka’s smile deepened.
"What's the third method?" Xing couldn't help but ask.
"...Wait a minute, it should be about time." Kafka didn't answer directly, but looked somewhere in the distance: "Oh, it's started."
"The ground suddenly began to tremble slightly, and a rumbling sound could be heard from afar."
"Xing turned around following the sound and saw that the dead Jianmu tree they had seen when they arrived was now rapidly expanding and growing!"
"The branches seemed to connect heaven and earth. Golden light shone from the trunk, carrying an endless flow of abundant vitality. In the blink of an eye, Jianmu seemed to pierce the clouds, its branches seemed to burn with blazing fire, guiding countless golden inscriptions to fall from the sky."
"At this moment, Xing finally understood what Qingque had meant by 'climbing the sky, hanging on the stars.'"
"This, this, this... is this Jianmu? A miracle bestowed by the God of Fertility?" Xu Tark was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a grand scene!!
"I finally understand how the Xianzhou people felt when they first saw this thing."
Zain smiled bitterly and said, “No wonder the Medicine King Secret is so loyal to the pharmacist Feng Rao. The big guy that was thrown away back then, even if it turned into a dead tree, it can still come back to life again after thousands of years. This Feng Rao... is really hard to kill.”
"But I heard that the Jianmu sacred tree was shot down by the hunting star god with a single arrow." Feilun looked worried. "Could it be that the star god will shoot it again this time?"
The power of a Star God's arrow is extraordinary. Even if the immortal ship is on patrol and hunting, the power of that arrow is bound to affect the innocent lives on the immortal ship. What kind of tragic scene will the world be in then?
To think of the worst - I'm afraid half of the Luofu Fairy Boat will disappear into thin air.
"Don't worry, Philen." Fulilian said confidently, "You have to trust General Jingyuan. Everything that is happening now is within his expectations. As long as the general takes action, everything will be fine."
Chapter 119 Why does Miss Tingyun look like a fun-loving person?
"As Xing was stunned by Jianmu's grandeur, the restraints on Kafka's hands suddenly snapped free."
"Eh?" Hoshi came to her senses and saw Kafka trying to escape, so she hurriedly tried to chase after her.
"But after running a few steps, Blade descended from the sky with the Fragmentation Sword, blocking Xing's steps."
"Let's go, Ren. We have two more places to go."
"Kafka, hands behind her back, walked to the edge of the Qiongguan formation, her gaze downward, like a curious girl examining something. She spread her arms and gracefully leaned back, as if the ground behind her wasn't a vast expanse of sky, but a comfortable mattress."
"On the other hand, the blade on the side dives straight down like a deep-sea torpedo."
Demons destroy the world.
"Just let them go like that?" Fuzukawa Minoru said in dissatisfaction, "At least have a few moves with that guy called Blade?"
That Blade looked ridiculously strong... and he was a rare expert with a sword. It had been a while since the Demon Slayers had seen Rofu's swordsmanship since they'd last watched Mirror Style.
"Looking at his attire, Blade is also from the Immortal Boat, so he should also have a demonic body, right? He seems to be the same type as Jingliu. If they really fight, Xing may not be his match."
Everyone present had witnessed Xing's strength. Although Xing was indeed very strong with a baseball bat... she did not have the murderous intent to kill others. When fighting with others, she would rather leave a glimmer of hope.
...beat them into submission, but don't kill them.
Even Cocolia only forced her to cancel her transformation.
But Ren is different. Just by looking at his eyes, everyone can understand that once this man takes action, he will really kill. It is not as simple as just stopping at a certain point.
"Apart from the general, the only one who can fight with Blade on this Immortal Boat should be Jingliu, right? Now that Jingliu is dead, if the general doesn't take action, we may never have the chance to see the swordsmanship of the Immortal Boat." Snake Pillar Iguro Obana sighed.
"How could it be? Have you forgotten the young man named Yanqing?" Shinobu Kocho suddenly said, "He was already the general's personal guard at such a young age. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I'm afraid only General Jingyuan can beat him? Besides, he is about the same age as Muichiro."
The last sentence shook the atmosphere in the room greatly.
The way several pillars looked at Xiazhu suddenly changed, from observing and learning at the beginning to watching the fun now.
These guys...
Tokito Muichiro sighed deeply, raised his head slightly, and his mint-colored eyes were half hidden in the shadow cast by his eyelashes.
"I wonder who is better at swordsmanship between us?"
-
"Xing quickly ran to the edge of the core to check, but it was too late... Kafka and Blade were no longer visible below."
"Kafka ran away? Damn it! How am I going to explain this to that fortune teller?" March Seventh said, looking annoyed.
"Thinking back to what she just said, Xing hesitated and said, "If she didn't lie to us, we shouldn't have to explain anything..."
"…Hey, you haven't been brainwashed by her, have you?!" Sanyueqi covered her mouth in surprise.
"Xing simply conveyed Kafka's words to Sanyueqi and Walter, proving that she had not been deceived by the mature older sister."
"They planned to find Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan first to discuss their next strategy. But on their way, they spotted Ting Yun standing on a nearby covered bridge, gazing at the Jianmu trees in the distance, which were still growing relentlessly, with an expression of fascination."
Sanyueqi was puzzled: "Isn't this the half-dead tree that Qingque showed us? How did it suddenly grow?"
Tingyun ignored him, only sighing to himself, "Wonderful, absolutely magnificent! I'm so lucky! Only a few immortals get to see such a spectacle in their lifetime!"
Fontaine, the continent of Teyvat.
"Huh? Is this the mentality of the people on the Xianzhou when they see the resurrected Jianmu?"
Funina was looking at Tingyun with a strange expression, wondering in her heart, so this fox lady is the type who likes to watch the fun and not mind getting involved?
Navia, who was quietly drinking black tea at the side, suddenly exclaimed in admiration: "Jianmu has resurrected, and the people of the Taibu Division have all run away. Miss Tingyun didn't think about escaping, but instead wanted to enjoy the scenery of Jianmu first... This is even bolder than the style of our Thorn Rose Society."
Clorinde frowned slightly. "But when she and Xing and the others were capturing Kafka, Miss Tingyun didn't seem like this. I remember... she was quite afraid of death. Didn't she say she wanted to live a peaceful life for another hundred or so years?"
Navia lowered her head and thought: "Indeed, I feel that Miss Tingyun is a little strange, but I can't tell exactly where it is strange..."
"Maybe it was given a strong fertilizer?" Xing stroked his chin, suddenly remembering a fertilizer commercial where they said "one bag is as good as two."
"March Seven gave her a speechless look."
"Such unusual energy...it's a star core," Walter analyzed. "The star core that Xianzhou Yunqi is searching for is most likely the culprit behind this anomaly!"
"On the other side, Fu Xuan has already informed Jing Yuan of the information he obtained using the Qiongguan Formation through the communication projection."
"Even now, she still has a look of shock and disbelief."
"Don't panic, Mr. Fu. Believe that the Qiongguan Formation won't lie."
"Despite the impending disaster, Jing Yuan's tone remained as calm as ever. Not only was he not panicking at all, he even comforted Fu Xuan: "The logic of Kafka you described is very reliable. It just adds a piece to the puzzle for me."
"I know Luofu must have an external enemy. A star core can't appear out of thin air; someone must have used some means to sneak it onto the immortal ship. Luofu's internal threat must be the hidden evil organization that claims to be a prosperous people—the Medicine King Secret Sect."
"When the star core first emerged, the immortal boat was protected by the Emperor Bow Siming. If it weren't for the intervention of another star god's messenger, how could it have sneaked into Luofu without my knowledge? Therefore, there must be an external enemy."
"The star core erodes various locations, but bypasses the Divine Strategy Palace and the Prison of Hell. Clearly, they have other intentions. The enemy must have internal intelligence about Luofu to plan this, so internal trouble is imminent. Understanding these two points isn't difficult..."
"Another Star God's Envoy... So, does this mean that the Medicine King's Secret has an Envoy of Abundance in charge?" Xiutark was a little puzzled.
"Isn't it possible? The Medicine King's secret disciples dared to recruit people into the organization in Changletian. They are so arrogant even without an envoy. If there really is an envoy behind the scenes, I dare not imagine how arrogant they will be."
Perhaps, this is called the fox borrowing the tiger's power to bully others?
"The Immortal Boat is now the intersection of three Star God forces. If the Envoy of Plenty is eliminated, then there is only destruction left."
"Nanook's messenger? But don't they destroy everything they go to?" Philen remembered that when they were in Beloberg, the first generation of city builders did not hesitate to summon cold currents to eliminate the destructive forces. That was just an ordinary antimatter army... But when an envoy was dispatched from the Immortal Boat, why was he so low-key?
Chapter 120 The Fatui love Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan’s plush toys the most!
"General, don't be so slow now!" Looking at Jing Yuan's unhurried appearance, Fu Xuan was also anxious: "Jianmu..."
"No need to bother looking for it, it's the star core." Jing Yuan had already made his judgment: "The traitor threw it into the cave where Jianmu is, causing Jianmu to grow again—see, the Medicine King Secret finally couldn't help but take action."
Seeing Jing Yuan's calm words, Fu Xuan gradually calmed down. "A crisis is also an opportunity. Once we know the problem, everything will be easier."
"After saying this, Fu Xuan looked towards the direction of Jianmu in the distance, ready to listen to the general's next orders."
"After waiting for a while, I found Jing Yuan with one hand on his waist, looking down at me with a faint smile."
"…Is it me who came up with the idea again?"
"Yes, I knew Fu Qing would have a solution." Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and no one could see what was hidden under his deep golden pupils.
"Having been constantly flattered by Jing Yuan for years, Fu Xuan has long been accustomed to the current situation."
"...Just consider this as a test before becoming the next general."
After convincing himself, Fu Xuan placed a hand on his chin and began to think rapidly. "In my opinion, the most important task right now is to gather the Cloud Cavalry and rush to the cave where Jianmu is rooted. We must eradicate the evil spirit at the core of the star and halt its resurgence."
"Hmm, Mr. Fu's insight must be the quickest way to solve the problem," Jing Yuan praised at first, then changed the subject: "But sometimes, fastest isn't always best. Guess what? I already knew where the star core was, so why didn't I take any action?"
"After the general's reminder, Fu Xuan realized something was wrong and lowered his head to think again."
Suddenly, Fu Taibu seemed to have figured something out. He jerked his head up, staring at him with his round, amber eyes. "General."
Jing Yuan's smile deepened: "How is it?"
"You scoundrel!"
Liyue, Luhua Pond.
"Hahaha, this Fu Taibu is really interesting. Why does scolding people sound like acting like a spoiled child?"
Last night's rainwater accumulated on the quaint and dilapidated bluestone bricks. Tartaglia was sitting beside a collapsed ruin, admiring Fu Xuan's cute little expression in the light curtain with great interest.
But because he was watching too intently, he completely ignored the few foolish non-commissioned officers who were kneeling on one knee and acting cautiously in front of him.
They had no intention of looking at the sky, and they didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from their chins. They just held up their hands like sculptures, presenting the Liyue intelligence they had painstakingly gathered in their palms.
After a long moment, Tartaglia finally turned his gaze away from the screen, still unsatisfied. However, when he looked at the crowd, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
"Huh? Why are you still kneeling? Well...you don't have to be so cautious in front of me. I'm neither a [servant] nor a [rooster], so I don't care about these details."
"But, Master, it's because of my subordinates' incompetence that we haven't been able to uncover more..."
"Don't blame yourself. Miss Tianquanxing is very troublesome... It's not your fault."
As Tartaglia spoke, his eyes suddenly darkened and he quickly made a gesture to silence her. "—Okay, stop right there. Someone's coming here."
Sure enough, there were crisp footsteps approaching rapidly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but just as the leading debt collector was about to stick out a corner of the dagger in his sleeve, a childish voice took the lead and instantly dominated the thoughts of everyone present.
"--elder brother!"
A little boy, about seven or eight years old, poked his head out from the grass.
The Fatui wiped the sweat from their foreheads... They didn't know if it was their illusion, but after hearing the call, the face of the "Young Master" instantly turned pale.
Tok trotted over to Dadalia, his eyes gleaming with admiration. "Wow! Brother, are you selling toys to the Fatui uncles? How impressive!"
"Uh, well... yes, Toke, but why are you here?" Tartaglia forced a smile.
"That uncle from Qianyanjun brought me here. He said that Lord Tianquanxing knew where my brother was selling toys, so he brought me here."
Tianquan Ningguang? Tartaglia suddenly raised his head and saw that not far behind Tok, there was a fully armed Thousand Rock Army soldier standing, staring at them coldly.
tsk...
That woman actually knows my location so clearly?
Toke looked around, his admiration growing even stronger. "Even in such a remote place, my brother still remembers to sell toys. He's so cool!!"
"Yes, yes, Tok... Brother, as the best toy salesman in the Kingdom of Winter, is discussing the latest toys with the uncles." Being stared at closely by the Thousand Winds Army on the side, Tartaglia felt like her toes were about to dig out the Queen's palace.
