Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

Chapter 33 Different Possibilities

"Not only has the Black Tower disappeared, but have several people who were close to her also vanished?"

Following the line of Black Tower, Yu Tianyi did a casual search and found that not only Black Tower, but also Ruan Mei, Screw Gum, Stephen and others had not left any trace in this incident.

"Since the Black Tower Space Station doesn't exist, it means that the 'I' who was supposed to be 'created' there is gone."

Even the Star Train didn't stop there.

These chain reactions ultimately led to Luo Fu's current predicament. Coupled with the problems with the Abundant Star God discovered in the prologue, everything is sliding into an irreversible abyss.

Piloting the star raft towards Changletian, Yu Tianyi still had a temporary event that allowed people to 'predict the future' that he hadn't used yet.

However, he also discovered along the way that only those he had met in the prologue could use it; if he had not met or encountered them, he could not choose it.

Of course, Yu Tianyi wouldn't be foolish enough to give such a precious event to a passerby who had become a demon in the prologue; his goal was very clear.

This is Jing Yuan, who is now a general in the Shence Army.

"However, unlike the previous generals, Jingyuan usually does not work in the Shence Mansion, but instead deals with all sorts of messes."

After all, the chaos of the sudden event, coupled with the subsequent chaos of the moon-drinking event, caused a huge gap in the high-end combat power of Luofu. There were many things that the Cloud Cavalry could not solve, and there was no one else available, so Jing Yuan had to take action himself.

He was constantly running around, and he also had to train Yanqing as the successor of the Sword Master, as well as Fu Xuan as his successor. He had truly exhausted all his energy and wisdom.

"If we really can't find him, perhaps we can try to have Fu Xuan 'foresee the future'."

While Yu Tianyi was pondering on the star raft, Chang Le Cave Heaven had already quietly appeared not far away.

After parking the Star Chariot, he was about to head to the Shence Mansion when he saw a figure that was both unfamiliar and familiar, walking quickly toward the same destination.

This person was no more than 1.5 meters tall. His long, pinkish-purple gradient hair was styled into a double ponytail resembling a flying bun. His pale golden eyes revealed anxiety and a hint of barely perceptible fear.

"Fu Xuan? It seems she has already gained some understanding of the prologue's outcome through the Qiong Guan Array's divination, otherwise she wouldn't seem so anxious."

To be honest, Yu Tianyi didn't really understand the Qiong Guan Formation. After all, even the Taibu Si people couldn't explain its principles. The whole process involved an unsolvable black box that could accurately give a definite result even with insufficient known information.

As Fu Xuan himself said, it was as if "the future we observe is welcoming us, revealing its true face amidst the chaos."

To put it more simply, it's better not to make predictions at all. If you do make a prediction, the predicted future is predetermined and cannot be changed.

Of course, this future is not truly irreversible; the power of 'God' is enough to distort the observed future, causing it to develop in another direction.

As for the cost of doing so, Fu Xuan herself knows it all too well; her mentor died because of it.

"However, I really cannot accept this result. I hope the general can give me some advice."

She recalled a casual divination she had done in her spare time, only to find that she was unable to react to Luo Fu's subsequent actions.

This means that Luofu will face a life-or-death crisis in the future, and if it sits idly by and waits for its demise, things may spiral out of control and lead to even more terrible consequences.

However, more detailed calculations require the activation of the Great Derivation and Exhaustive Observation Array of the Taibu Si (太卜司) for computation.

However, for such an important matter, she needed to report to the general first before a decision could be made.

"Lord Taibu, hello."

Suddenly, a tall figure blocked her way, and before she could react, she almost bumped into the other person's arms.

"Ahem, hello, what brings you to stop this diviner...?"

Fu Xuan coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, looked up at the unfamiliar man, and was about to ask a question when he saw the man take out a jade talisman and continue speaking.

"Judging from the appearance of the Grand Diviner, he requests an audience with General Jingyuan. I am a craftsman from the Bureau of Works and I also have important matters to discuss with the General."

However, the general rarely works at the Shence Mansion, and I'm worried that not being able to find him might delay the process. I wonder if it would be possible to go with the Grand Diviner.”

Yu Tianyi revealed a faint smile. His gentle demeanor, coupled with the identity verification of the jade talisman, made Fu Xuan not suspect whether he was an imposter.

Rather, under normal circumstances, no one would impersonate someone who could be exposed at any time.

"General, you do indeed travel frequently. Very well, come with me."

Fu Xuan lowered his head and thought for a moment before agreeing to let the young man go to the Divine Strategy Mansion with him.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Diviner."

Yu Tianyi nodded slightly, then came behind Fu Xuan and followed her through various tests to enter the Shence Mansion.

As expected, Jing Yuan was not in the main hall; only a blond-haired boy stood there.

"Fu Taibu, you've arrived. The general has gone out on business and left a message before he left, saying that if you, Taibu, come to Xuanye Street in Xingchahai, you can find him."

Yanqing, a genius boy who had won the position of Yunqi Xiaowei at the age of eight to fourteen, was seeing his normal self for the first time in Yu Tianyi's life.

In reality, we can't see this. In the previous prologue, we only saw the other party after he fell into demonic darkness. We have never seen him so spirited and sharp.

"I knew it."

Fu Xuan covered her forehead. With her decades of experience working at the Luofu Taibusi, she was naturally very clear about Jing Yuan's habits.

Although she had prepared for the other party's absence, it didn't mean she would condone Jingyuan's behavior.

"By the way, Diviner, who is this gentleman?"

"Greetings, Guards Yanqing. My name is Tianyi. I am just an ordinary craftsman from the Bureau of Works. I have come with you, Lord Taibu, to report something."

Yu Tianyi smiled faintly and began to explain, then went on to talk about topics that the other party was interested in.

"If Yanqing Xiaowei doesn't mind, if there is any flying sword you want in the future, I will do my best to help you without refusing."

"Really?!"

Yanqing's attention was indeed drawn upon hearing this, and he put aside the question of Yu Tianyi's identity.

For a sword fanatic like him who spends all his pocket money on crafting precious swords, the topic of swords was clearly a perfect fit.

"As a craftsman in the Imperial Workshop, why would I lie to you? However, I have important business to discuss with the General now. We can talk in detail after this is done, shall we?"

"it is good."

The two added each other as friends using the jade token, and then Yu Tianyi waved goodbye and continued to search for Jing Yuan, whose whereabouts were now unknown, with Fu Xuan.

Chapter 34 Reunion with Jingyuan

"Speaking of which, why does the Grand Diviner look so worried? Is he facing some kind of predicament?"

Yu Tianyi asked the question knowingly, wanting to see if Fu Xuan's concerns were the same as his own.

"This matter is of great importance, and I cannot tell too many people yet. I apologize."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan immediately became serious and shook his head decisively.

Obviously, this matter concerning the life and death of the entire Luofu cannot be revealed immediately, otherwise the news of Luofu's impending destruction will spread before long.

Not only will it fail to solve the problem, it will also create panic among the people of Xianzhou, making them more vulnerable to being taken advantage of by those with ill intentions.

"It seems I have spoken out of turn. Please pretend I did not ask this question, and please do not take it to heart, Your Excellency."

Although Yu Tianyi did not learn the specific details from Fu Xuan, he basically confirmed it based on the other party's behavior.

(Even with Taipusi's advance warning, Huanlong still succeeded in the end. It seems that the difficulty of turning the main storyline around this time is not ordinary. No wonder a prologue was needed to lay the groundwork.)

"This is... the Grand Diviner's Star Chariot?"

After a while, when he saw Fu Xuan's vehicle, he immediately showed a surprised expression. This was clearly the latest flying boat built by the Flying Shuttle Group at this time, the 'Mountain Falcon'.

This thing has the same engine as the Cloud Cavalry's warship, the 'Sun Hunting', and its top speed far exceeds that of ordinary civilian starships. Of course, due to the use of a stall control system, it cannot perform some extremely extreme maneuvers.

He had seen the advertisement for this flying boat when he was searching for information on Yuzhao, which is why he recognized it at a glance.

"What, you're not allowed to buy things you like? Of course, I bought this mainly so I can find that General who's wandering around somewhere in time."

As he finished speaking, Fu Xuan spoke slowly and deliberately, a strange black aura emanating from his body, before boarding the flying boat.

With the roar of the engine, a streak of light streaked across the sky and disappeared.

"...How can this keep up? The performance is far too poor."

Although Fu Xuan's driving skills were only average, the performance difference between the two star chariots was too great. Even though Yu Tianyi tried his best to catch up, he was still struggling to keep up.

Fortunately, there were speed limits between each cave, which prevented Yu Tianyi from being completely left behind.

"Fu Qing, what brings you to the Marquis of Nevernight? Did you come here just to listen to the storytelling?"

Upon arriving at the Star Chariot Sea, he saw from afar that Fu Xuan seemed to have already spotted the target and was heading straight in one direction.

Then Jingyuan's familiar voice came from around the corner.

Then an option flashed before Yu Tianyi's eyes.

[Should we use the temporary event 'Predict the Future' on Jing Yuan?]

"It's you!" he confirmed without hesitation the moment the option appeared.

"Fu Qing, I'm suddenly feeling a bit sleepy. We can talk about it later..."

"General? General!"

When Yu Tianyi finished making his choice and arrived at the Nightless City, he saw Jing Yuan with his eyes closed and head bowed, one hand resting on his chin. If one did not look closely, one might think he was deep in thought.

Fu Xuan, standing to the side, was clearly angered by Jing Yuan's actions, and the aura he exuded became increasingly frightening.

"My Lord, the general is probably just too tired. Let him rest for a bit."

Qingzu, the chief strategist, carefully tried to comfort Fu Xuan, creating a rather comical scene.

At this moment, Jing Yuan was unaware of what was happening outside. He only felt countless images flashing before his eyes as a terrible crisis descended upon Luofu, turning everything to nothing.

He himself was assimilated by the enemy and turned his sword against his comrades, all of which happened while he was still conscious.
