This villain is too popular.

Chapter 233: Season Two Ends

So, the third season starts with Liuli's concert?

"Probably. After all, for Liuli to even invoke the Heavenly Dao means this matter is far more complicated than imagined."

'The day card players are finally going to climb the ranks!'

'Li Bao is so good! She always thinks of our little cat. I'm going to vote for you right now!'

'Who knows, maybe Liuli is just being wise in disguise?'

"Zhao Xiao, judging by Li Bao's role, she's clearly the group's darling!"

Looks like the whole cast is coming back for season three! Yay!

Looking at Jing Liuli in the center of the screen, although her appearance and figure have grown up, her personality is exactly the same as when she was a child in the first season.

Although she had a brief private chat with Chenxing not long ago, the Tianka Party did not show the same strong hostility towards the Tianxing Party.

After all, it's clear that Liuli is the strongest 'wingman' specially arranged for Caroline by the production team of StarCraft.

No one would attack their own teammate for no reason, making their loved ones hate them and their enemies rejoice.

Between the scrolling comments, someone quietly typed, "Time flies so fast, everyone has grown up."

The next second, the main footage of the second season of Stars, "Glimmer," gradually fades out.

One by one, yellowed animated comics, bearing the texture of old paper and the passage of time, slowly appeared before the audience.

The first thing that catches everyone's eye is the new look of the Twelve Brass Council.

Although the Heavenly Dao had recently purged most of the 'Twelve Bronze Nobles', it only eliminated the current heads of the families and did not uproot their families.

Therefore, after negotiations by Liam, the president of the Steam Branch, those people, though unwilling, were forced to accept reality and tacitly allow the steam furnace to be opened.

However, the new steam furnace had completely slipped out of their control.

Although they could still receive some profits from forging, these profits were taken from the share of the Steam Society, which was both a handout and a form of compensation to them.

Even though they were still somewhat unwilling, these guys understood that compromise was their only option.

The emergence of the Heavenly Dao has completely changed the rules of the Steam City.

No compromise. Then, a few more new coffins will be added to the graveyard of that steam city.

As for the new brass nobles' 'Chief Councilor', he is 'Scorpio Layton', the only one to survive this great purge.

No one knows why Heaven spared him, but as the only remaining old nobles, the new nobles, even if they were dissatisfied, could not stir up any trouble and could only acquiesce to the situation.

The Steam Branch is also happy to see this situation, since stability is the 'result' that the association most wants to see.

As for the 'process' in between, it's not important.

In the image, Layton's profile is hidden in the shadows of steam, his expression obscured. He plays with the pocket watch he's holding, as if counting someone's time.

After a brief introduction to the aftermath of the Brass Nobles, the animated comic shifts to the lower city of the Steam City.

The recent riots have escalated the conflict between the lower and upper districts, and it looks like it's about to spiral out of control.

However, with the downfall of the old brass nobles, Layton sought to win over and appease the people.

He not only rallied several large companies to jointly issue a public statement regarding the Xiacheng District redevelopment plan.

Even the Nut Transfer Station, which originally blocked access to and from the city, was demolished on the spot and replaced with an unobstructed 'Nut Elevator'.

Although the residents of the Lower Town still harbored some suspicion towards Leighton and these Upper Town gentlemen, feeling that they wouldn't be so kind.

But in any case, the sky over the steam city has finally seen a long-awaited 'dawn'.

In order to control the 'environmental pollution' caused by steam furnaces.

Layton even joined forces with the Thousand Feather Group of Wudou Tiandu to tackle the 'steam pollution problem' in the lower city.

As a consequence, a large part of the development work in the lower district was handed over to Qianyu Group.

Although the animated comic didn't go into detail about the future changes in the steam city, viewers still saw the positive side of it.

Old Jack, who was supposed to have left the steam city, not only reappeared on screen, but his 'Rusty Nail Bar' had also undergone a complete transformation.

It has transformed from a dark, wasteland-themed bar into a cozy music bar with warm, yellow lighting.

The Rusty Nail Bar was once just a safe zone in the Rusty Iron Hell, District 12.

But the newly built 'Rivet Tavern' became a safe zone for the entire downtown area.

While change isn't always a good thing, if you're already at the bottom of hell, then no matter which way you go in the future, it will all be upwards.

After introducing the changes in the upper and lower cities of the steam city, the anime switched to a mysterious hall full of technological style.

Inside the hall, a giant humanoid mech sat enthroned on a throne-like chair, expressionlessly gazing down at the black-haired woman below. While the Stellar Productions team didn't reveal the content of the conversation between the mech and the black-haired woman, they understood her purpose for being there based on her identity and her recent conversation with President Ennet.

She came here to warn the Iron Dome family.

Under pressure from the Grand Master's threats, the Iron Dome family ultimately yielded.

The next second, a wanted poster floated up in the center of the screen, with a photo of Tiandao as a child printed on it.

The wanted poster was suddenly engulfed in flames, slowly curling up, charring, and finally turning into ashes that scattered into the air.

This undoubtedly implies that, without the relentless pursuit of the Iron Dome family, the association has withdrawn its original arrest warrant for Tiandao.

After explaining all this, the anime cut back to the scene in the steam city of Dust and others.

Jingle Bell!
Similar to the scene at the beginning of the second season, Vivian puts down her umbrella and pushes open that familiar door.

The former "Rusty Nail Bar" now bears a wooden sign that reads "Rivet Tavern".

The newly laid wooden floorboards creak slightly when you step on them.

"Do you need help?"

Vivian smiled and asked as she looked at Old Jack setting up tables and chairs not far away.

Old Jack looked up, and although the wrinkles around his eyes had increased considerably, the smile on his face was visibly brighter than when the second season had just begun.

"What help do you need? I'm just old, not dying."

"Besides, instead of me, you should go help that kid Chen Kong. After all, he's really busy to death over there."

Vivian nodded and turned to walk into the tavern's kitchen.

At this moment, Chen Kong was surrounded by all kinds of wines and spirits, some of which he had seen before and some of which he had never seen before.

Just as Vivian entered, Chen Kong was standing on tiptoe, trying to place the bottle of wine called 'Dream of the Sea' on the shelf.

But the sudden sound of the door opening caused his hand to slip.
Fortunately, a slender, jade-like hand caught the wine bottle before it hit the ground.

"Be careful."

Vivian's voice rang out.

Chen Kong looked up and smiled at Vivian.

"I've been very careful, it's just that my hand slipped just now."

Vivian shook her head and helped him place 'Dream of the Sky and Sea' in a suitable position.

During this process, their hands brushed against each other, and Vivian immediately pulled back as if she had been electrocuted, her ears turning slightly red.

Chen Kong smiled knowingly and said nothing.

Just then, the camera suddenly changed direction.

At the same time, all the backgrounds began to blur.

Vivian and Chen Kong's figures slowly faded into a halo of light, focusing on a brightly lit invitation on the kitchen table.

Invitation to the Martial Arts Capital: Starry Sky Ladder Ranking Tournament

The handwriting on the invitation was fresh, but the edges of the paper had a slight curl, which seemed to suggest that their trip might not go too smoothly.

The next second, a crisp train sound suddenly rang out from off-screen.

The anime then shifted its focus to a train station in the steam city.

Inside the first-class cabin of a steam train about to depart.

Tiandao leaned back lazily in his chair, in the same posture as when he first arrived in the Steam City.

However, compared to when he came to the steam city alone, this time he left with many more people around him.

He tapped the armrest unconsciously with his fingertips, and the scene of the anime was completely frozen on him, as well as Chen Xing, Jing Liuli, Danica and others sitting next to him.

The next second, the anime screen went completely dark.

At the same time, a cold system notification sounded in Tiandao's ears.

[Season 2 has ended; season popularity rankings are being tallied.]

Looking at the constantly scrolling information on the system panel, Tiandao realized that his scenes for the second season had been announced as finished.

Next, he will focus all his efforts on preparing for the brand new 'theatrical version'.

P.S.: As usual, I'm asking for your monthly votes!
