Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Next, at Qingque's suggestion, Yan Huan and Huo Huo stepped into the game, directly entering the sand table to act as obstacles.

Just as Yan Huan had guessed, Qing Que intended to use external forces to influence the overall layout of the sand table.

This time, with Yan Huan and Huo Huo acting as obstacles, the situation on the sand table became even more complicated.

Under Qingque's control, Jiqiao successfully embarked on a different path from before.

As they successfully reached the exit, Qingque said to Fu Xuan:

"This is the second solution, the second choice. I created a different answer for this sand table."

Fu Xuan was very disappointed by this:

"How is your behavior any different from Yan Huan's previous outright cheating, which resulted in the other 'me' being expelled from her body?"

Qingque's gaze was extremely serious:

"Yes, but... Lord Diviner."

"You are not the only one who can design puzzles, and I am not the only one who walks the path of destiny alone."

After hearing Qingque's explanation, Fu Xuan thought for a moment, then let out an even louder laugh:

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Do you think that asking for help will create a second path out of thin air?"

"You're just using a fallacy. I could weave a million routes like this for you, but they all lead to the same end. What's the point of such a choice?"

"..."

“Demon, you utterly misunderstand humans.” Qingque stepped forward and said calmly:

"The universe is like a deck of cards on a poker table; once the cards are shuffled, the outcome is often already predetermined..."

Chapter 498 You're not going to pay, are you?

"Although we can calculate what cards have been played on the table, what cards are left on the wall, and what kind of hand the other players are trying to make."

"But if it's just calculations, then it just doesn't feel right."

Qingque looked at Fu Xuan earnestly and began to speak eloquently:

"Adapt to changing circumstances, meet challenges head-on, and navigate through twists and turns until you reach a dead end."

"It is a little calculation, a little unknown, and a little out of control that make up the jade pendant, which is the true fun of life."

"If there is a situation where I am bound to lose, does that mean my choices at the poker table are meaningless? No, the choice itself is meaningful."

"Just like making choices to lose more gracefully, Taibu is also making her choices for a certain goal."

"You just said it, didn't you? The diviner must meticulously untangle the complex and chaotic threads of fate day after day in order to preserve this giant ship."

"In this game of cards in the universe where there are only losers, she kept making choices, just so that the Luofu Immortal Ship could travel forward for one more second."

"She is truly the best poker player in my eyes."

"Why would someone like Taibu needlessly trouble himself with preordained confusion?"

“Suiyang, you cannot understand human pleasures; you are imprisoned in the illusion of determinism and cannot break free.”

"So you want everyone who peeks into the future to suffer the same pain as you."

Hearing Qingque's words, Fu Xuan's expression grew increasingly grim.

She held her head in her hands, her expression one of extreme pain.

This is a manifestation of a divergence in the consciousness of Fu Xuan and Xi Yan.

"Aaaaaah!" Fu Xuan roared, his body engulfed in the fierce flames.

"Don't waver, Fu Xuan! Don't resist me! Don't be fooled by this girl's sweet talk!"

"Rhinoceros Flame, get off Tai Bu!" Qing Que shouted, about to rush forward.

At the same time, Xi Yan quickly manipulated the puppets within the Taibu Si to protect himself.

Looking at the five golden figures emitting ghostly flames blocking his way, Rhinoceros Flame felt no sense of security whatsoever.

"I will fail! I can't win!"

"Why, why is there no other way?!"

"Everything in the universe has already been decided!"

"No, I... I can't possibly beat them...!"

After a fierce battle, Yan Huan smashed four of the mere five Golden Golems with a single brick...

The remaining plane was attacked by the others in turns.

Under the final power of the Hidden Moon Gourd, the Rhinoceros Flame was ultimately absorbed.

Seeing that Suiyang had been sealed, Qingque quickly said to Fu Xuan, whose head was still spinning:

"Lord Diviner! Are you...are you alright?!"

"I'm fine, I just have a bit of a headache."

Fu Xuan covered his forehead, barely opening his eyes to look at the people who had come before him:

"Was that the Rhinoceros Flame just now? Although it doesn't have much power, if you get entangled with it, it can really plunge you into endless despair."

"Qingque, thank you for turning the tide."

"Uh...you're welcome, Mr. Bu."

Qingque suddenly reminded him:

"By the way, you just fired me when Suiyang was possessed. You must have been serious about that decision, right?"

"Next, I'll need to trouble you to issue a written notice unilaterally terminating the contract and giving me N+1 in compensation."

"If you calculate it this way, given all the years I've been in the Bureau of Taxation, I should be able to get a considerable amount of compensation."

"Oh, I've already thought it through. I'm going to use this money to open a gambling den, hire a few workers, and live off the profits all day long. I'll start a new life without working for it, haha."

Fu Xuan's eye twitched, and he said awkwardly:

"Ah, what a pity..."

"I uttered a lot of nonsense before, and I don't remember a single word of it."

"Speaking of which, Qingque, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be on duty in the library right now?"

"Huh?" Qingque narrowed her eyes:

"Taoist diviner, you keep your word, are you going back on your word now?"

"so what?"

Fu Xuan said matter-of-factly:

"After all, life always presents choices, and that's what you just taught me."

Under Fu Xuan's forceful tone, Qing Que ultimately had no way to deal with her.

It's a pity she didn't record any evidence with her phone. If she had known, she would have seized the opportunity while the Rhinoceros Flame was possessing her and had Fu Xuan issue a written resignation certificate.

"Sigh, I just can't persuade them otherwise."

Qingque shook her head helplessly:

"Then I'll go touch it... I mean I'm going to work."

After Qingque left, Fu Xuan forced himself to check around, and before long, order was barely restored within the Taibu Si.

The four members of the ghost-hunting team also stayed here for a while.

After Fu Xuan finished his work, he thanked the group.

"They did a lot of ridiculous things, and they really lost face."

Huo Huo comforted her:

“Suiyang is good at taking advantage of people’s weaknesses… Everyone has weaknesses, this is not Lord Fuxuan’s fault.”

Su Chang quickly echoed:

"Yes, Lord Fu Xuan is just a victim, there's no need for him to blame himself."

"Thank you all sincerely for your help." Fu Xuan looked at everyone gratefully.

"Perhaps it is impolite, but the Lord of the Tabu has suffered a great calamity, and I must return to continue to preside over the affairs of the state. I am unable to entertain you all here."

Seeing that Fu Xuan was about to get busy again, Gui Naifen quickly spoke up:

"Ah! Wait a minute, there's one more thing."

"What is it?" Fu Xuan asked Gui Naifen.

The group explained the details of the operation to Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan nodded slightly:

"I understand what you mean by saying that the story of the diviner being possessed by the spirit of the sun is not good to hear."

"I don't care how you edit it, as long as you conceal the names and identities."

"I still have a lot of work to do, so please allow me to repay your kindness today another day."

Huo Huo quickly agreed:

"Then we won't disturb you any longer. Next, we should go back to Suiyuan and seal away the Rhinoceros Flame."

Afterwards, the four returned to Suiyuan and sealed the Rhinoceros Flame into the Binding Evil-Repelling Array.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind Yan Huan.

In the eerie atmosphere, the sudden sound startled the group.

"It seems your operation went quite smoothly?"

The visitor was naturally Jing Yuan, who was staying at Suiyuan.
