Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

"But Xiyan, perhaps you understand fate, but do you understand reality? If they didn't have something to gain, why would the people of Xianzhou expend so much manpower and resources to build this Taibusi? Perhaps you could occupy Taibusi for a day or two, a month or two, a year or two, and use the Dayan Qiongguan Formation to isolate yourself from all attacks, but how can you expect the people of Luofu to provide you with manpower and material support? When the energy is exhausted and the manpower is depleted, no matter how happy you are now, you will be as regretful later."

Jiang Yan's heart-breaking dimensionality-reduction attack instantly brought Xi Yan back to reality from the joy of obtaining a powerful toy. Suddenly, the Dayan Qiongguan Formation and the Boxi Zun Fa in his hands were no longer of any use to him.

Seeing the other party's expression change, Jiang Yan ruthlessly finished off the opponent:

"Of course, for someone like me who lives for a short time, it definitely doesn't matter. Even if it's just for a day or two, I'll have satisfied my desire and won't have lost anything in my life. But Xiyan, what about you? Do you want to spend the next few thousand years just reminiscing about this past year?"

"enough!"

Jiang Yan's vivid words immediately broke Xi Yan's defense.

Yes, the artifact of Supercomputing Jiabo Shizun is so cool and fun. What will I do if I can’t play it in the future?

How could these creatures of flesh and blood understand the importance of fate? Even if I explained the future to them in detail, how could they possibly appreciate it?

However, when Xiyan could no longer concentrate on calculating the future and began to think about how to keep everything in front of him from his own perspective, the tacit understanding between it and Fu Xuan had disappeared. The originally stable body in the illusion suddenly began to tremble constantly like Ah Zhuo at that time, emitting a green-yellow light, and fell into an unstable state.

Outside the illusion, Fu Xuan's real body quickly began to twitch with the same expression, and a faint glow emanated from his pores. Xing, who had been waiting for his chance, saw this and without hesitation drew his destructive bat, hitting Fu Xuan in the back of the head with a home run!

Boom!

Xing didn't dare underestimate Luofu's second-in-command. Leveraging the presence of the Medicine-Bearing Dragon Girl, he unleashed a single blow of destructive force. If Fu Xuan hadn't regained consciousness and urgently activated the folding magic array hidden within his clothing and jewelry, he would have been utterly annihilated.

Even so, facing the baseball bat that had hit the back of his head, poor Fu Xuan could only miserably be whipped away like a baseball in order to relieve the force. He was not able to stop until he was far away.

The rumor-busting team in the illusion was not having an easier time either. The stable illusion was suddenly shattered by a stick, causing the consciousness of everyone, including Xiyan, to spin wildly like on a roller coaster. After returning to their bodies, they immediately squatted down, covering their heads with their hands, looking painful.

“I feel dizzy…”

"Ugh, I feel like vomiting..."

“I’m going to die…”

Only Jiang Yan, who had been "specially trained" by Tingyun with a storm of mental stimulation, remained in good condition. After coming out, he immediately supported Huo Huo, who was about to faint with circles in his eyes.

"Tail, hurry up and seal that guy!" Jiang Yan ordered anxiously while stimulating the Sui Yang Fire aura in his left arm.

"You're old..." Tail was about to refuse the order, but after sensing the terrifying aura on the other's arm, it, deeply "poisoned" by Huo Huo, decisively chose to obey the heart and dived into Huo Huo's body, manipulating her body skillfully while complaining:

"My whole life has been ruined by a little coward like you!"

"And you, Xiyan, go in!"

After saying that, he activated the sealing technique and successfully sucked Xiyan, who for some reason did not resist fiercely, into the magic weapon "Cangyue Gourd".

At this moment, Xing finally came over and looked at the tragic scene where he had nearly wiped out allies, enemies, and hostages with one blow. He bowed his head and apologized repeatedly:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. In this hurry, I really couldn't hold back."

"It's okay, we are all fine. Let's go see Master Taibu first." Su Shang said with a complicated expression, prodding the ground with her sword.

Compared to everyone who seemed to be thrown into a spin dryer and spun dozens of times, the scene of the Grand Master being hit and sent flying by a stick was obviously more shocking and visual.

It is very wise to let outsiders do this. Who among the Xianzhou people would dare to do such a cruel thing?

However, compared to the others who were just scared, Qingque has completely turned into a "green" bird, and his face has turned completely blue.

If the Grand Astrologer knew about this, no, she would just count on her fingers and know that it was me who leaked the information. I was the one who invited this group of people to become the Grand Astrologer, wouldn't he be doomed?

Thinking of this, Qingque hurriedly ran towards Fu Xuan almost crying:

"Master Taibu! Are you...are you okay?"

But Fu Xuan only covered the back of his head and stood up as if nothing had happened:

"I...I'm fine. Just a headache."

This defensive power completely shocked everyone, and all doubts about the ability of this master fortune teller were immediately thrown out of the window.

If you don't agree, why don't you take a blow like this with the back of your head?

I dare not! I give in!

However, there are always innocent guys who break this tacit understanding:

"Master Taibu, let me apply medicine to you."

Bai Lu anxiously ran over with a medicine gourd, and without saying anything, she applied the medicine to the swollen area on Fu Xuan's body.

"I'm fine..." He said halfway, looking at Jing Yuan who hurried over, Fu Xuan, who had given up, finally chose to give up: "Forget it, I'll have to trouble Long Nu."

And Xing took the opportunity to walk over with her face flushed and her head lowered:

"I'm so sorry, Master Taibu..."

He was interrupted by Fu Xuan in a self-deprecating tone when he was halfway through his words:

"The fact that 'Taibu was possessed by Sui Yang' is enough to make me lose face. I will only be grateful for Miss Xing's help. There is no need to worry about it."

Seeing that Fu Xuan wanted to jump out of his own life on the spot, Xing certainly would not continue to bring up the matter, and hurriedly joined Jing Yuan to meet up with everyone.

After briefly reporting the situation to Jing Yuan, who had been guarding the gate to prevent Xi Yan from escaping and acting as a surprise force, Jiang Yan asked for instructions:

"General, what should we do with this Sui Yang? Please give us your instructions."

Jing Yuan waved his hand and said:

"This Sui Yang was captured by the Ten Kings Division. Naturally, I won't interfere. You can handle it as you please. However, I would like Miss Gui Naifen to save some face for the Taibu Division."

Ever since the establishment of the "rumor-busting team", Jing Yuan has witnessed the powerful tongue of the big anchor Gui Naifen. She can guide public opinion and even confuse right and wrong at will. If he lets her do whatever she wants, Fu Xuan will probably be so ashamed that he will calculate his own death date.

Gui Naifen had no grudge against Fu Xuan, nor was she so foolish as to want to 404 her livestream, so of course she agreed immediately:

"Please rest assured, General. The name of Grand Astrologer will never appear in this article, and it won't even affect the reputation of the Grand Astrologer's Office. Before it is published, it will be reviewed by General and Grand Astrologer first."

However, facing Gui Naifen's words, Fu Xuan showed little interest:

"At this point, my shameful behavior has already been exposed, and I don't care how you interpret it. However, for the sake of the reputation of the Taibushi, please conceal my name and identity."

Seeing that Fu Xuan wanted to close the gate to the heavenly realm on the spot and lock up Taibu Si for a month of "seclusion training" until the storm passed, no one was ignorant enough to ask her whether she still wanted to recruit this Sui Yang.

But Luofu's number one and number two figures have no intention of getting involved with Sui Yang. They can't just throw Sui Yang, who is only good at deducing a powerful force, to Danding Division to handle electronic registration, or to Tianbo Division to be used as accounting software. They would never do that even if they die!

Seal it directly in the tower? That's such a waste!

In the end, it was Jiang Yan who stood up:

"Well, let it out first and let me talk to it. After all, with General Jing Yuan here, it can't run away, right?"

Oops, I've been harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 84 Confusing Cause and Effect

Amidst the siege of the magic circle and the watchful eyes of countless powerful men, the rhino flame was released, and Jiang Yan was in front of it, saying confidently:

"Now that things have come to this, do you want to listen to my proposal?"

"If you could really predict everything, you would know that this is your best choice."

However, facing this situation where he was at the mercy of others, Xi Yan was not as enthusiastic as Jiang Yan. After a moment of silence, he said calmly:

"It surpasses the Ten Directions Light Reflecting Dharma Realm of the Dayan Qiongguan Array, the Cloud Mirror, the most advanced tool for stargazing on the Immortal Boat, and far surpasses the astrologers and diviners of Luofu... With so many chips, it's no wonder he's so confident."

Even though he had already calculated everything, Sui Yang, a creature tainted by the poison of human nature, was destined to be unable to remain calm. As he spoke, a hint of resentment came into his voice:

"Yes, I couldn't resist these temptations, and I deserved to be enslaved by you once again. However, fate is a variable. Your victory was only due to my lack of power, unable to fully anticipate the ripples in the river of fate caused by you and that brutal guy with a baseball bat. As for whether I was imprisoned in Yuque or Luofu, in the "Library" or the Furnace of Creation, it is completely irrelevant. The outcome is already determined."

"But you don't have to be complacent. No matter where you are, I will always be alive. When you are dying, I will still be alive. When you turn to dust, I will still be alive, watching you walk into the end of the universe in ignorance."

It must be said that there are huge cultural differences between different races. This kind of curse of "you will die in tens of thousands of years" has little killing power even for the immortal boat people who live for thousands of years. For Jiang Yan and Gui Naifen, it is even more ridiculous.

"We will definitely not see that day. Do you need us to sympathize with you in advance? You died so tragically, so pitiful." Gui Naifen said with a smile.

"So? You want us to praise you for dying more magnificently than us in the future? Okay, good job dying! Good death, meow! Are you satisfied?" Jiang Yan also said while clapping his hands in agreement.

The short-lived species' open-minded attitude towards life and death instantly infected the long-lived species, and also instantly filled the Taipusi with a joyful atmosphere:

"With your eloquence, if you two were to go to the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat, you would surely achieve great things."

"Having an entire universe buried with it is, if you think about it, a pretty good outcome. No wonder it's so proud."

"It really seems too... No, I didn't say anything."

"It's better to leave such a great task as preventing the end of the universe to future Marshals of the Immortal Boat."

"Forget it, Xiyan. Even we hate your weird attitude. You're still trying to get recognition from humans? This is ridiculous!"

These powerful words once again broke Xiyan's defenses. He could predict that his future would be in the Taibu Division of the Jade Que Immortal Boat, becoming a member of the boat, or rather, a tool. While the outcome was already predetermined, the process, whether it was respectable or being respected, clearly made a difference.

After simply calculating the outcome of his confrontation with this group of people, Xiyan angrily cursed, "Hmph! Sooner or later you will beg for my help." Then he took the initiative to jump into the magic weapon "Cangyue Hu" in Huohuo's hand.

Is this autism? How can someone with this level of mental capacity even try to predict one's fate? The onlookers laughed even harder.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of coming out, Huo Huo had no choice but to activate the sealing array and close the stopper tightly. Only then did everyone put away their smiles and truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fu Xuan walked up to Jiang Yan, looked at him carefully for a while, and said with emotion:

"I've always boasted of my 'all-seeing' vision, but it seems I'm far from that. To be honest, I divined for you both when you arrived in Luofu and before you left. But neither of those two divinations predicted the intertwined fates you face today, the web of possibilities. Alas, the Great Evolution and Perfect Observation Formation I painstakingly constructed may have its own Dayan, but the so-called 'perfect observation' seems a joke."

Seeing that the usually serious Master Bu had rarely fallen into a low mood, Jiang Yan was a little panicked.

Don't look at her being depressed now, but whether it is astrologers or fortune tellers, there is never a shortage of ruthless people who like to dwell on trivial matters, and this Lord Taibu is the best among them. If he really gets obsessed with her, he will use the Qiongguan Formation to check her household registration every day, and if he can't find it, he will go to Yuque to continue checking. I'm afraid that sooner or later he will find his sister.

But how can I distract her? Without time to think about it, Jiang Yan pretended to be calm and said with a smile:

"Master Grand Diviner, you flatter me. Never in my divinations did I ever imagine that I would one day be gazed upon by the Amber King? The thoughts of a Star God are truly beyond the comprehension of mortals like us."

When in doubt, they just blame the Star God for everything. Changing fate is commonplace for them anyway. If you have the guts, why don't you go and divine why they do this?

Jiang Yan's words made Fu Xuan, who had suggested calling in the Emperor Bow in the Third War of Plenty, look at Jiang Yan deeply and nodded silently.

The presumptuous speculation about the Star God's intentions that led to the sacrifice of her mentor was the root of her current insistence on determinism. In her lifetime, Fu Xuan had already decided that she would never covet the power that she could not control again. The little guy in front of her, whose fate had changed drastically under her nose, was probably a reminder to herself, Fu Xuan thought.

At this moment, Su Shang also came over, patted Jiang Yan's back vigorously and said:

"I didn't expect you, Xiao Jiang, to be able to perform divination and even communicate with that Sui Yang in this area? That's amazing!"

Su Shang's astonishing wisdom completely shocked everyone present, well, except Bai Lu. Jiang Yan rolled his eyes and said helplessly:

"How can I tell fortunes? He said it himself."

This answer wasn't unexpected. Jiang Yan hadn't even been to Yuque, so how could he predict whether Yuque would accept this Suiyang? This guy was clearly up to no good and was just trying to bluff.

However, Su Shang, who had an extremely pure sword heart, could not understand this truth and asked in confusion:

"But this is clearly the result of the divination by the Suiyang named Xiyan. You arranged a destination for him according to what he said. So, is his divination still accurate?"

"Or is this not fortune-telling at all, but rather it knows you can't predict its fate, so it designed a favorite place for itself in advance to trick you?"

This obvious confusion of cause and effect completely confused Su Shang, and even Gui Naifen and Huo Huo were a little confused by her imagination.

However, Jiang Yan, who had experienced countless things that he could not understand, was never confused by these things. Facing Su Shang's question, he just said disdainfully:

"Who cares? No matter what kind it is, the Ten Kings have the final say on how to deal with it. It's just a fish on the chopping block. Even if the divination is accurate and impressive, if it can't bring good luck or avoid disaster, what's the point?"

Jiang Yan's words, which were very charismatic, successfully earned him a roll of the eyes from Fu Xuan, but it made the other people present nod their heads repeatedly.

The Xianzhou people are renowned pragmatists throughout the universe. Historically, even if they witnessed the miraculous power of the Amber King, they would still abandon their faith in it simply because it offered no benefits to its followers. Even the Star Gods were like this, let alone a specific technology.

This is also the reason why, despite Fu Xuan's great prestige in the Taibu Division, few people still buy into the theory of determinism.

If it doesn't bring benefits by avoiding misfortune and attracting good fortune, then what's the difference between accurate divination and reading a novel and being spoiled? Furthermore, isn't the priority you set for performance and the use of the Qiongguan Formation also based on the importance of avoiding misfortune and attracting good fortune?

No wonder this guy was so accurate in divination that he even got himself into the gourd. What’s the point of learning this thing?

Even Su Shang patted her forehead and sighed:

"Ah, yes! I almost got fooled by this liar. Then we should quickly stuff it back to Suiyuan and hand it over to Lord Jackdaw for disposal."

Seeing that the cunning enemy who had once successfully deceived him had suddenly become a useless liar, Fu Xuan really wanted to defend Xi Yan at this moment.

It is a useless liar, so what is this master who has been deceived by it? What is the Jade Palace Master who is about to accept this liar?

"Fortune-telling is definitely not meaningless... Oh, forget it."

He lost the game, even his breathing was wrong, and Fu Xuan, who felt that today had been embarrassing enough, finally gave up on explaining.

In addition, after experiencing the living counterexample of Xi Yan, Fu Xuan himself was also reflecting on himself.

It’s not about reflecting on what’s wrong with determinism, but about reflecting on what I’m always explaining to this group of laymen?

Look at that Sui Yang, he couldn't even convince his companions who were originally one with him. In the end, he would rather go find humans than try to merge with other Sui Yangs. Why should he try to convince these colleagues who neither understand nor want to listen?

Thinking of this, Fu Xuan simply gave up on explaining and instead expressed his sincere gratitude directly:

"Thank you all sincerely for your help. Once I have finished my current tasks, I will reward you handsomely. Also, if you would like a fortune-telling, I am always at your service."

Fu Xuan's promise immediately excited the rumor-busting team, Xing and March Seven.
