Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

"Four hundred years? Swaro is about your contemporary. It seems to have been created more than seven hundred years ago, before the Legion invaded Arilol-VI."

"I remember its mission back then was to be a civil servant robot assisting the city builders, right?"

Dust Tribulation's words stunned Jing Yuan.

Huh? Someone of my generation?

Suddenly, Chen Jie took two steps forward, his gaze fixed on the arena below.

"Let's put aside all that nonsense for now, the fighting is about to break out."

Coming to his senses, Jing Yuan walked to Chen Jie's side and looked down, his eyes revealing a look of understanding.

"It seems the company knows it can't take away or defeat the armor you made, so it's simply trying to obtain the combat data to attempt to imitate and replicate it?"

"This amber-colored energy is emerging from all directions."

Suddenly, Jing Yuan turned to look at Chen Jie, and asked with a serious expression.

"Could you spare a few sets of this powerful armor for Luofu? If we deployed them in the war against the Fengrao people, we'd be unstoppable in every future battle."

Join the Luofu Immortal Ship?

After a moment's thought, Chen Jie's expression softened. Jing Yuan was certain he had seen that gentle, warm smile the first time they met.

Something's wrong, something's wrong, there's something wrong with Dust Tribulation now.

Chapter 174: Old Age

Seeing Jing Yuan's wary look, Chen Jie sighed.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so wary? Is there something wrong with me?"

Jing Yuan remained silent, only staring at Chen Jie in this state, his gaze growing even more strange and wary.

He was no mere figurehead, bearing the title of "Divine Strategist," and he grasped the crux of the problem almost instantly.

"What is this armor made of?"

Dust Tribulation was startled, and his smile turned teasing.

"It's a unique mineral found only on this planet. What? Do you feel something's off?"

Jing Yuan frowned and remained silent; he felt that things were more complex than they appeared.

At this moment, Schwarzkopf, an observer, spoke up.

"Based on Mr. Chen Jie's initial speculation, the Earth Marrow Mine contains the power of the Amber King. Therefore, this armor was created by refining hundreds of tons of Earth Marrow Mine."

"Upon its completion, this [foundation stone] resonated throughout the entire Yalilo-VI, prompting the Amber King to once again lower his gaze and imprint his mark upon it."

"Afterwards, Mr. Chenjie named this foundation stone 'Preservation'."

After listening to Schwarz's account, Jing Yuan stood there, and after a moment's thought, his expression turned rather grim.

"You agreed so quickly, are you planning to study me?"

Seeing that Jing Yuan had guessed the answer, Chen Jie was not surprised at all, instead showing a "you think so?" expression.

"What else? As the envoy of the [Hunting], you possess a great deal of power from the [Hunting] destiny. If I break it down for you, you might be able to make several sets."

"Didn't you say you were too old to make any more contributions and wanted to retire? You just happened to say you wanted to get a few sets of this armor for Luofu, so I'll just turn you into armor and make you Luofu for generations to come. Doesn't that just suit your wishes?"

Seeing Chen Jie raise an eyebrow, Jing Yuan was speechless and sighed softly.

This guy clearly knows what he means, yet he's still spouting nonsense and making jokes.

The clicking sound kept ringing out.

The two men looked serious.

"Looks like the fight's almost over. Let's get ready to go down."

All the company employees summoned by Zhang Zhang were suspended in the sky by the rising amber crystals, leaving only Toppa standing on the ground.

Toppa operated a virtual screen, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

The opponent merely clenched their fist and raised it slightly; without exception, their men were thrown into the air before they could even escape. If they hadn't shown mercy...

I bet my employees are lying around with broken limbs everywhere.

"It's a pity, though. The so-called combat data is just a fragment. We'll have to trouble those technical people to rack their brains again, since it's the cornerstone that surpasses us [Stone Heart Ten]."

Tupa twirled a strand of hair behind her ear, then clicked send. One of the main tasks of this debt collection trip was complete.

"What a desperate battle! Is this the power of Mr. Dust Calamity? Unbelievable!"

Seeing Toppa, whose men were all hanging high in the air yet remained unfazed and even smiling, Danheng and Jepard immediately sensed something was wrong. The two of them stepped forward to block the group.

Dan Heng summoned Ji Yun, ready for battle: "I've heard that the company's [Stone Heart Ten] share the power of a [Preservation] envoy."

"Miss Toppa has collected Jepard's video. So, shall we continue this battle?"

Topa's surprise was evident upon hearing this, and he immediately shook his head in denial, his eyes filled with doubt and shock.

"How could that be? Look behind you, Mr. Chen Jie has brought an unexpected VIP guest to Yalilo-VI."

Dust Calamity brought a very important guest, Yalilo-VI?

Everyone was puzzled, but when they turned around, apart from Jepard who was equally bewildered, the rest of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Bai Lu, who was holding a gourd, widened her eyes, "General?! What brings you to Yalilo-VI?!"

"Hehe, I came here especially to see you. You seemed really happy with how you were doing just now, Bai Lu."

Faced with Jingyuan's words of comfort, Bailu smiled shyly, "Everyone on the train was very kind to me; it felt like home."

Is there a kind of warmth, like home?

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's expression turned somewhat melancholy. Even Luo Fu, Bai Lu's hometown, couldn't give this child this feeling?

Indeed, this child has lived under the supervision of the Dragon Master since childhood, and as a general, I have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. Luofu is less Bailu's home and more a giant prison.

However, this situation will soon change.

"This must be the general of the Luofu Immortal Ship, right? Seeing is believing, it's truly an honor to meet you."

Jing Yuan smiled knowingly: "Director Toppa, you flatter me. I'm just an elderly man."

An elderly person who is very old?

Toppa completely ignored this part. "Huaiyan, at 1300-1400 years old, is still capable of serving as the general of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship. How old are you to be considered old?"

As the face of the investment department, Toppa had to show due respect to someone whose status and strength surpassed his own, especially a general from the Immortal Boat Alliance.

After all, the generals of the Immortal Ship are all [Hunter] Vanguard, whose status is equivalent to the head of their investment department, Diamond.

"General, you are too modest. As a [Hunter] Vanguard Commander, to still be handling the affairs of the Celestial Ship at such a young age is the spirit we younger generation should learn from."

Jing Yuan simply smiled without saying a word after hearing this. He actually didn't like dealing with people from the company either, because even these polite words could take a while to exchange.

As for Toppa, being the one who "demands the topaz," she has no shortage of keen observation skills.

"General, what brings you to Yalilo-VI? Was it at Mr. Chenjie's request?"

Oh? So you're already probing my background?

Jing Yuan's eyes were deep. "I owe Yalilo-VI a promise, and now, I'm merely here to fulfill a promise made four hundred years ago."

"Huh? General, you lack a promise from Yalilo-VI? Or one from four hundred years ago?"

This greatly surprised the train crew. They never imagined that the Luofu Immortal Ship, which cruised the universe, would have such a deep connection with Yalilo-VI.

And among the crowd, the happiest person, without a doubt, was Jepard, the diplomatic envoy of Arillow-VI.

On the way here, Bai Lu and San Yueqi had explained to him about Bai Lu's hometown, the Luofu Immortal Ship, and the Immortal Ship Alliance.

"General of the Luofu Immortal Ship, welcome to Yalilo-VI."

Jing Yuan returned the gesture with a smile.

Toppa was somewhat bewildered. How did such a critically endangered planet end up on the Luofu Immortal Ship?

These machines were hidden, which is one thing, but how come the people in the intelligence department didn't even find a clue to such a big news?

"I never imagined that Arilo-VI had such a long-buried history; it truly shocks me."

"Then what promise has the General come here to fulfill? After all, Ariello-VI owes the company a considerable sum."

Toppa wanted to test Jingyuan's limits, but little did he know that Jingyuan simply chuckled, lowered his head, and shrugged unintentionally.

"For that, you should ask Chen Jie. He knows a lot more about this than I do. Right now, he's my diplomatic advisor."

Huh? What does this mean? It concerns the Luofu Immortal Ship, yet Jing Yuan, as the General of Luofu, has appointed a passenger from the Starry Sky Train as his advisor in diplomatic negotiations? Something's not right.

This Alph Dustbreaker likely has other identities.

This also made Toppa sense a different aura, and he looked at Chen Jie, who looked utterly bored, with a slightly serious expression.

In contrast to Toppa, the train crew didn't find anything wrong with Jing Yuan's words, because they knew very well that Chen Jie and Jing Yuan were friends.

Chen Jie naturally knew what Jing Yuan was thinking. His laziness was always acting up, but now that he was in a difficult position, refusing would not only be a loss of face for Jing Yuan.

Straightening his expression, Chen Jie looked at the equally serious Topa with a solemn face.

"The visit and cooperation between our Luofu Immortal Ship and Yalilo-VI will be carried out in all aspects."

Jingyuan:?

"All-round? Am I hallucinating?"

Topa was shocked to hear this, and even subconsciously laughed out loud.

Not only Toppa, but even Jepard, who thought his hometown was saved, looked like he'd seen a ghost after hearing this, and began to wonder if he'd misheard.

March 7th, Xing, and the little dragon Bailu had absolutely no idea what "fully proceeding" meant in this situation. Their three pairs of eyes scanned the crowd with utter confusion.

Dust Calamity calmly explained Toppa's shock.

"I know you're shocked, but that's because you haven't seen the rich creativity and resourcefulness of the former city builders, Arilo-VI."

"A hundred-meter giant wrestling with a dragon—this is something that Yalilo-VI could create seven hundred years ago, and it was also personally marked and bestowed with the activation item by the Amber King: the Flame Spear."
