The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"You can become her lover," Bai Heng said.

"...Don't learn anything from those abstract weirdos in the Oddities group, I'm serious." Chen Li patted Bai Heng on the shoulder.

Look at how the originally innocent Xiaobaiheng has been turned into this by the abstract members of the group.

"You were the one who asked me what I thought first," Bai Heng retorted.

"I'm asking you, what do you think of Tingyun, the ferrywoman of the Immortal Ship Heavenly Ship Bureau? Is she suitable to be the future successor of the Luofu Immortal Ship Heavenly Ship Bureau?" Chen Li said, rubbing his forehead.

"Oh, she's the helmsman?"

"Here, I found a letter while I was eating. It's what the current captain said to Tingyun, and Tingyun copied it down. It says something about blood and fire..." Chen Li placed a letter in front of Bai Heng.

Tingyun said that Chen Li could take any of the treasures in her house at will, so Chen Li didn't stand on ceremony.

Times are changing. The Celestial Ship is changing. One day, this colossal vessel will grow utterly weary of the skies of blood and fire. At that time, the Celestial Ship Bureau will be your stage.

"What you said...makes a lot of sense." Looking at the contents of the letter, Bai Heng thought it made perfect sense.

Bai Heng could see that, under Jing Yuan's leadership, Luofu Immortal Ship was developing into a rising star in the Immortal Ship Alliance's trade.

That makes sense; each immortal ship in the Immortal Ship Alliance has its own unique characteristics. For example, the Jade Palace Immortal Ship is the headquarters of the Divination Bureau, and the Crimson Bright Immortal Ship is the headquarters of the Construction Bureau...

The Azure Immortal Boat is the most powerful immortal boat of the Cloud Cavalry Army.

The Luofu Immortal Ship also has its own unique features, such as the Jianmu tree and the Dan Ding Si (Alchemy Bureau) of the Jianmu era... that is the origin of longevity!

However, research in this area has now become taboo, and the Dan Ding Si has gradually declined, which makes Luofu Immortal Ship seem to lack its unique characteristics.

And what the letter said is true, it's time for the Immortal Ship to change.

Chapter 219 Tingyun: Sigh, I can become the God of Destruction? Really? (5k)

"Will this really work?" Thinking about what he was going to do in a moment, Bai Heng's toes started digging a three-bedroom, one-living-room hole in the ground.

“It’s useful,” Chen Li nodded.

"You're not lying to me?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"...The Heavenly Ship prospers, and King Tingyun rests!" Bai Heng clenched his fists, suppressing his shame, and after transforming into his spirit form, stood at the entrance of the Heavenly Ship Bureau and whispered.

"Speak louder, haven't you eaten yet?" Chen Li's voice reached Bai Heng's ears.

"May the Heavenly Ship prosper, and may the Cloud King rest in peace!" Bai Heng shouted loudly.

"Very good, very energetic!"

"Strange, Yu Kong, did you hear anything?" Hu Zhaigong, who was staying in the Tianbo Division, looked at the fox-man girl beside him in confusion.

Although her companion is still a virgin, she has a very strong sense of being a married woman, or rather, an excessive one.

Yesterday, Hu Zhaigong was almost picked up by Yu Kong after being forgotten on the immortal ship by Chen Li, and the two became acquainted because of this.

After resolving the matter of the Akame ga Kill! world empire in the morning, Fox Palace returned to the Immortal Ship in the afternoon. He spent some patrol coins to buy some gifts and went to the Sky Ship Bureau to chat with Yu Kong.

"No. But are you really not considering working for the Sky Ship Company? You can still be an intern, and if you're suitable for the job, you can become a full-time employee after a month." Yu Kong listened attentively but didn't hear anything unusual.

"No need, I have already found my half-brother on the Immortal Ship!" Fox Palace shook his head.

Fox Palace needs to hurry up and watch the advertisements.

"By the way, Yu Kong, do you have any friends or anything you'd like to revive?" Fox Palace asked.

"A friend?" Yu Kong's eyes darkened when he heard Hu Zhaigong mention this matter.

Yes, there are.

How can a person live in this world without having one or two people they care about? If an old friend passes away, one will naturally wish for their return.

Yu Kong has a comrade-in-arms named Caiyi.

In her youth, Yu Kong served as a seasoned pilot, achieving outstanding results and becoming a captain. However, a brutal war forced her to retire from the skies. After Cai Yi's sacrifice in an exceptionally fierce battle, she abandoned her career as a pilot, tempered her personality, and became a helmsman.

Yu Kong's adopted daughter, Qing Ni, is actually Cai Yi's daughter.

Incidentally, this war was also the bountiful war in which Dan Shu lost his good friend Yu Fei.

Yu Kong thus began to ponder: The Fighter Ship pilots suffered heavy casualties in trying to stop the Abundant Legion, but after the appearance of the Hunting Star God Lan, they were able to easily eliminate all the enemies. Does this mean that the efforts of those hundreds of thousands of sacrifices were in vain?

All I can say is that... the arrow shot by the Star God of Hunting left a psychological scar on many people on the Immortal Ship.

"Fox Palace, why are you asking about this? To be brought back to life is against the natural order. Do not go astray," Yu Kong said with great concern after a moment of distraction.

For some reason, Yu Kong always felt that this fellow fox was different from the other fox people, giving him a very special feeling.

Yesterday, Yu Kong noticed that he seemed to be facing difficulties, so he felt compelled to help him.

"Don't worry, I certainly don't believe in claims that someone can be brought back to life. I just asked casually because it was on my mind," said Fox Palace, waving his hand.

Fox Palace knows that Yu Kong might have reached out to help her when she seemed to be in trouble because of her inherent skill, [White Star Fox King].

But since we have received kindness from others, we should naturally repay that kindness.

"Beep beep." Just then, Yu Kong's communication terminal rang.

"It's quite a coincidence that a junior of mine suddenly asked me if there was anyone I wanted to resurrect..." After glancing at the message, Yu Kong felt it was a coincidence and mentioned it to Hu Zhai Gong as an amusing anecdote.

"You must not believe this. To come back from the dead is against the natural order. Your juniors may not have any ill intentions towards you, but they may also be deceived," Hu Zhaigong said repeatedly.

Yu Kong felt that these words sounded familiar.

What you're saying...aren't they all my words?

……

"Here you go!" Bai Heng tossed a strangely shaped object back to Chen Li.

"Be careful. Although this thing is a negative artifact, it can be very useful if used properly." Chen Li caught the fox statue.

Are you sure no one can hear me?

"Those belonging to the Tianbo Bureau can't hear it; that's called being blinded by one's own involvement."

"Okay, but does this thing actually work?"

"Of course. The effect of this strange object is that if it can make a fox speak in a specific sentence pattern, it can promote the designated person by one rank."

Fox-people are also considered foxes, so there's no problem.

"What a strange concoction. What about its side effects?"

"After being promoted one rank, one may face the danger of death or encounter great disasters."

"???"

"Tingyun has to return to the Immortal Ship and pass the test before he can be promoted one rank. And when Tingyun returns to the Immortal Ship, he may not even be Tingyun anymore. In that case, it won't be Tingyun himself who will suffer, so it doesn't matter," Chen Li explained.

"Then why do I have to shout it? Isn't your Servant, Kitsune-no-Miya, also a fox? I'm a Mirror-style Servant, you know." Bai Heng roughly understood the logic Chen Li had just mentioned.

Based on the conversation between Chen Li and Ting Yun, it can be inferred that the one who returned to the Immortal Ship using Ting Yun's identity might be the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huan Long.

"Because you are a legendary aviator in the history of the fox people of Luofu Immortal Ship! This is also one of the limitations of this artifact; it can only take effect if a fox closely connected to the current events speaks," Chen Li said.

Because the effect of being promoted one rank is indeed great, it also means that this negative artifact that Chen Li obtained from the recycling station a long time ago will definitely have more restrictions and greater side effects.

Otherwise, why would it be called a negative wonder?

Negative artifacts are those that can hold you back at crucial moments or drag you into the abyss!

However, negative oddities have one advantage: although they cannot benefit themselves, they can certainly harm others.

Theoretically speaking, Bai Heng could even use this strange object to shout to Jing Yuan: "May the Immortal Ship prosper, King Jing Yuan!"

Once Jing Yuan overcomes the numerous trials and tribulations, he may be promoted to Marshal of the Immortal Ship!

However, the higher the rank one is promoted, the more hardships one encounters.

Jingyuan's fate may not be tough enough.

Moreover, this rare item requires completing the game in one life.

If someone dies in the middle, their ordeal is interrupted, and naturally they cannot be promoted one rank.

But it doesn't matter, Jing Yuan's fate may not be strong enough to make him go from being a general of the Immortal Boat to becoming the marshal of the Immortal Boat Alliance.

But Huanlong's destiny will surely lead to Tingyun becoming a formal candidate for the captain of the Tianbo Company from the ferryman!

Anyway, Huanlong is very durable as Suiyang.

Similarly, if the likes of the Star Hunting Gods were willing to use the method of existence stripping to impersonate Jing Yuan, they could also take the exam in place of Jing Yuan to become the Marshal of the Immortal Ship Alliance from the Immortal Ship General...

But isn't this going against the natural order of things?

Perhaps... the God of Joy would be willing to take on this job?

[Joyful Star God: Let me be the Marshal of the Immortal Boat Alliance? Really?!]

"Hmm...it seems it's actually not impossible." Hearing the elf's sarcastic reply, Chen Li's eyes lit up.

This topic sounds delightful.

Jing Yuan insisted that if Chen Li forged a miraculous object to suppress the demonic Yin body, you would have a chance to become the Alliance Marshal, but you could not possibly become the Alliance Marshal.
