The fox-people's Earth Balance Bureau member was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, placed his hand on the fox-people girl's head, and whispered, "You will no longer suffer those hardships."
"Um..." The fox-girl hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
"Don't be shy, what do you want to say?"
"If this really is a celestial ship, could I meet the person who saved us? I want to thank her... Of course, is this request too much...?"
"You mean Miss Qingyun? I don't think she'll refuse after the war is over."

Besides offering flowers to her fallen friends and recording their last wishes with paper and pen or other means, after the war with the Bu Li people, Ting Yun often went to see the fox people who had regained their freedom. Seeing their smiles on the fairy boat made her smile too.
While smiling, she also thought of those abundant evils and the people who died because of them; behind the smile, her fists were clenched.
It was more than four thousand years into the astronomical calendar.
There are still thousands of years until the end of the trial.
After fighting against many powerful and monstrous creatures, Tingyun not only honed his swordsmanship but also began to study other weapons in order to know himself and his enemy and win every battle.
Having no interest in commanding troops, Tingyun began to continuously improve his martial arts skills.
Five thousand years ago, the Chiming Clan landed on the Immortal Ship in the Tanghai Sea, which was no longer habitable, to help Luofu seal the Jianmu Tree and join the Immortal Ship Alliance.
Around 5300 in the Star Calendar, the Immortal Ship, acting on the creed of "exterminating evil beings," witnessed the entire process of the Antimatter Legion destroying the Wingers' homeland, "Qiong Sang."
The Jade Palace Immortal Boat's diviner observed the destruction of [Qiong Sang].
Over the course of 5,700 years of the Star Calendar, Tingyun's mastery of swordsmanship and various other weapons has been honed to an unparalleled level through countless battles, both large and small, over the past 1,700 years.
Around the year 5700 of the Star Calendar, the Great Lord of Annihilation, Xingxiao, asked Zhu Mingxianzhou to change its course so that they could jointly attack the world of the Wingers.
Tingyun traveled from Luofu to provide support and participate in the effort.
In the year 5749 of the Star Calendar, the Abundant Envoy [Shuhu] led the Abundant People to besiege the Jade Palace of the Immortal Ship. The Learned Society dispatched the Learned Scholar Legion to join the Second Abundant People's War.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
After a fierce battle, the Envoy of Abundance [Shūhū] was finally defeated.
In this battle, Tingyun shone brightly.
For thousands of years, she has always had a warm smile on her face when facing her compatriots and even her soldiers.
Furthermore, due to his knowledge of other weapons, he also possesses his own unique aesthetic of slaughter in how to kill the abundant monsters.
The name of the Smiling Martial Saint gradually spread.
Because of the presence of Tingyun, the number of people who died in the war against the abundant evil creatures was greatly reduced.
But has it really decreased?
Bai Yan sat at the stone table as usual, sipping tea.
In his view, Tingyun's biggest gain this time was only the change in her heart and the martial arts skills she had honed over the years.
As for salvation... how can we talk about saving people who have already passed away in history?
The historical trajectory in the simulated life has undergone significant changes. Tingyun has already learned the swift fighting style from this battle, and there will be no major casualties in the subsequent chaos of swiftness.
“Even if we were complete strangers, these people would be enough to make me admire them, and I would be happy to see them live and sad to see them die.”
Not long ago, during a chat, Tingyun replied to him in this way.
When she woke up, only the changes in her body remained; she hadn't saved anything.
The people she admired had long since died with regrets.
When she wakes up, will she be able to bear it...?
However, due to an unexpected event, she did save some people, such as the fox people who had just been received on the fairy ship.
Perhaps we really will see that sword drawn.
Bai Yan still remembered the last words the master craftsman from the immortal ship who forged that sword had said to him:
"Sir, you sit high on the clouds, above all living beings, observing the mortal world for thousands of years. May you, sir, see for us where the immortal ships of future generations will sail..."
Bai Yan drank the tea in his cup and said calmly, "Standing above all living beings... I understand you, but you don't understand me."
Chapter 129 Time to wake up from the dream
Walking through the long corridor of time, like a surging crowd, countless friends brushed past Tingyun, and when we looked back, they were nowhere to be seen.
The bookshelves were also filled with notebooks recording people's last wishes.
Much hatred, stained with blood, permeates the words. Among them are the hatred of a child who has lost his father for the invaders who invaded his home, and the hatred of a fox-person who has only recently escaped slavery for the people of Buli...
Having witnessed countless tragedies caused by the prosperity of the people, and with countless tragic lives etched into her memory, Tingyun also developed her own will.
The year is 7300 in the Star Calendar, which means it has been 4,000 years since Tingyun appeared here.
The Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, renowned throughout that period of history, also appeared beside this martial saint who was over four thousand years old.
Suddenly, the magistrate of Fengrao led a large army of Fengrao people to press on the border to Luofu.
Unlike the actual history of the Immortal Ship, people repelled the sudden attack, and the Five Heroes of the Clouds did not begin to fall apart due to the tragedy caused by the death of one of them.
It was still in front of the stone table at Bai Yan's house, but Bai Yan wasn't there.
A white-haired fox-girl and another fox-woman sat facing each other, drinking. Over the years, they had become close friends who could talk about anything.
Bai Heng, a fox-woman girl who was supposed to sacrifice herself in the chaos of the 7300th year of the Star Calendar.
Tingyun and Baiheng chatted and laughed as they recounted some interesting events that had recently occurred on the immortal ship.
Until Tingyun felt the door sealed in her mind loosen. It was a door she had sensed four thousand years ago, but inexplicably ignored...
When the door was pushed open a crack, Tingyun vaguely realized that she had overlooked more than just the problem with the door.
"Bai Heng, don't you think this is a little strange?"
The white-haired fox-girl looked at him with sapphire-blue eyes and smiled: "Is there something wrong?"
"Why...have I lived for over four thousand years?"
Bai Heng rested his chin on his hands, still smiling, "Actually, I also want to ask... why am I still alive?"
Tingyun frowned deeply: "What do you mean?"
As she spoke, the doors in her mind opened a little more.
"It's nothing... Little Tingyun, how have you been lately? Have you continued practicing your aunt's dishes?"
Bai Heng's voice suddenly became gentle, and even his tone of voice changed.
When Tingyun looked on, the fox ears of the white-haired fox girl in front of him gradually disappeared, and her tail also disappeared, turning her into an ordinary fairy boat person.
That face, Tingyun will never forget... it was Aunt Ningyu.
At the same time, another voice came from behind Tingyun: "Little guy, you've picked up a sword too. I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
Tingyun turned around and saw another familiar face appear.
The female soldier stood behind her, one hand on her shoulder and the other patting her head.
As the doors in Tingyun's mind opened again, voices continuously called her name.
"Miss Tingyun, these are the white flowers you recently ordered—"
"Sister Tingyun, training is so tiring, let's go out and play for a while—"
"Tingyun, the fox-people are truly fortunate to have you—"
The once sparsely populated streets gradually filled with people, each one of whom Tingyun knew all too well.
Those who had brushed past her over the years reappeared in the long corridor of her memory.
When the door to her heart opened, Tingyun remembered.
She remembered that she did not live in this era; she remembered that she was participating in a trial by a god; she remembered what the god had said; and she understood everything before her eyes…
Tingyun stood on the edge of consciousness, the world before her like a mirage, both illusory and real. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, like the calm before a storm, profound and elusive.
She felt a loneliness and loss she had never experienced before, as if she had been abandoned in the vast universe, helpless and alone.
She began to question whether her emotions, memories, and even her resolute and determined nature were nothing more than a mirage built on the desert.
"Are we all fake?" Tingyun's voice echoed in the now empty street, tinged with despair.
At that moment, she felt as if her existence had lost its meaning. Were those comrades who fought alongside her and shared difficult times, and that deep affection, just an illusion?
A clear voice came at this moment, like a gentle breeze brushing across her heart:
"The script here comes from the cosmic memories mobilized by the [Memory] Commander. Everyone you see has actually existed in the history of the Immortal Ship."
"That ordinary female soldier did indeed sacrifice herself to protect the people during the Wingers War."
“Ning Yu did indeed find a fox-person child in the Star Sea, but after she left, that fox-person was killed by other demonic spirit patients during the Sky Tribulation.”
"You must have known about the enslavement of the fox people by the Buli people. Some of the fox people you have met are your ancestors. Can you say that the suffering they endured was all fake?"
……
A clear voice introduced her to the people she had interacted with over the past four thousand years, one sentence at a time.
"There's still some time before you wake up, you can ask yourself those questions again."
Even if you are complete strangers, would you be willing to scavenge among the stars and pick up those ordinary yet great aspirations lost in the passage of time?
Is the emotional shift that arises from reading four thousand years of history of the Immortal Ship and witnessing all its battles a mere illusion?
"However, your existence did indeed cause some changes in this history, and the history of the Immortal Ship without these changes would actually be more cruel."
As soon as the words were spoken, the clear voice disappeared and never rang out again.
Tingyun understood that when she heard that voice again, it would be the time when she would completely awaken from this history of the Immortal Ship.
Is a history without upheavals more cruel than this illusion?
She had tried for thousands of years, but in the end, no one had been saved. Another sense of loss welled up inside her.
The illusion of Aunt Ningyu, sitting at the stone table, still lingered, and she spoke, "Little Tingyun, how is the Immortal Ship doing now?"
