Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

"Master, that aloof older sister... is she really General Jingyuan's master?"

Chen Bai unconsciously lowered his voice and whispered to Fu Xuan beside him.

Although I learned about Jingliu's identity from the conversation just now, and was shocked by what Yanqing just said.

However, Chen Bai was still quite curious about Jing Liu's experiences.

Fu Xuan did not answer immediately.

After a moment, she nodded almost imperceptibly and explained to the unsuspecting train crew:

“Jingliu came from another immortal ship, Cangcheng, but it was destroyed by the Fengrao people in her early years… The calamity of her hometown completely changed her.”

"Later, she arrived at Luofu and won the title of "Flying Light Without Flaws" with her extraordinary swordsmanship. Her swordsmanship had reached the pinnacle. At that time, she was also one of the "Five Clouds Warriors" with outstanding military achievements."

Fu Xuan's tone turned slightly somber, "Until the chaos of the sudden... a female fox-person named Bai Heng from the Five Eagles perished together with the Fengrao Envoy... Afterwards, following the chaos of the Drinking Moon, under multiple impacts, Jing Liu ultimately fell into the demonic body. She escaped from the Netherworld Prison and fought against General Jing Yuan at the time... From then on, she was regarded as a traitor to the Immortal Ship."

"Everyone in Luofu thought she had been suppressed and killed by the general, but unexpectedly, she not only survived, but today... she has returned to Luofu."

Speaking of the Five Cloud-Top Horses, this is a legendary tale from the Immortal Ship Luofu. However, due to various reasons, the official information about this matter was later blocked.

And only high-ranking members of Luofu like her know the truth of what happened back then, because the information about this was only known to the elders of that time and was included in the classic texts.

After hearing Fu Xuan's words, Chen Bai and the others fell silent.

I never imagined that General Jingyuan would have such a dagger-like encounter!

Yanqing, standing to the side, turned pale upon learning that Jingliu was her grandmaster.

I... I actually called my grandmaster "big sister". I hope my grandmaster won't blame me.

"What exactly is the strange phenomenon of the Jianmu tree in Jingyuanfeng?"

The clear, cool sound of the mirror-like stream suddenly cut in.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan remained silent for a few seconds before finally recounting their battle with Huanlong and how they had also managed to destroy Jianmu.

Although his master was a fugitive, he still had a master-disciple relationship with Jingliu, so it was alright to talk about it.

After hearing this, both Jingliu and Luosha fell silent.

Your battle with the Great Lord of Annihilation is still being planned, but you actually managed to wither the Fengrao Jianmu tree with just one culinary disaster.

Is this reasonable?

Over the long years, Jingliu has witnessed too much madness, greed, and terrifyingly twisted regenerative power born from [Fengrao].

Those beings associated with the power of the apothecary—whether human or animal—are all sliding into irreversible distortion and calamity under the guise of the gift.

Her homeland, relatives, and friends, like candles flickering in the wind, were extinguished one after another in the endless calamities brought about by this blessing.

Hatred was already etched into their very bones.

After years of exile, she struggled alone among the stars until she met Rakshasa—a man who, like her, had immersed his life in pure hatred of "Fondness".

Together they found the path that almost defied the laws of nature: god-slaying!

It was for this reason that she decided to return to Luofu and begin to implement that groundbreaking plan.

This plan is not just about the Immortal Ship Alliance; it also involves a war between the three factions: [Hunting], [Destruction], and [Abundance]!

To achieve this, she needs to meet with Marshal Hua of the Immortal Ship through Luofu, forcing the Immortal Ship's higher-ups to confront Feng Rao's threats!

But not long after returning to Luofu, Jianmu encountered an accident.

For her, this was like an unexpected ray of dawn.

The miraculous plant that the pharmacist planted himself has withered completely.

This noble yet defiled creation ultimately met its end.

only……

The way it ended was truly beyond her expectations.

It was achieved in such an... almost absurd way.

Are all the nameless people these days so powerful?

If Bai Heng had been able to board You Yuntianjun's train back then, his fate would have been far more fortunate.

Jingliu's thoughts became increasingly distant.

"Master, you are currently a criminal, why do you want to return to Luofu? Also, who is this merchant named Rakshasa?"

Jing Yuan's voice broke the brief silence, his expression very serious.

My master, a fugitive wanted by the Immortal Boat, couldn't possibly have returned like this; there must be some hidden reason behind it.

This hidden truth is something that he, as the General of Luofu, cannot accept!

“Good question, Jingyuan…” Jingliu took a few steps forward, her high heels clicking on the ground.

"However, you don't need to be so vigilant. Whether it's you, me, or Rakshasa, we are all enemies of the Pharmacist. The revival of Jianmu is an omen. Although it has brought about an end that I could not have foreseen, you should know—"

Her tone suddenly changed, "The Immortal Ship has reached a point where it must make a choice. Emperor Bow Master of Fate, Longevity Plague Ancestor, Flame Ancestor, this is a battle between gods. If you don't stand on the winning side, you are the loser. Therefore, this time, we must put Feng Rao to death!"

Chapter 98 Three Little Tricks to Kill the Star God

"Put Feng Rao in a deadly situation?!"

Feixiao suddenly stepped forward and stood beside Jingyuan, his brows furrowed and his expression unusually solemn.

Even though she wasn't as thoughtful as Jing Yuan, she could still sense the unmistakable danger in his words.

"What...do you mean by that?" she asked, staring intently at Jingliu, enunciating each word clearly.

Could it be that this former swordsman is plotting to kill the Plague God?

That thought itself was almost insane; what kind of being is the Star God?

To defy the gods with a mortal body is even more absurd than seizing stars or crossing the celestial barrier!

"I have made my meaning clear enough."

The sound of the mirror suddenly subsided, like a deep, cold abyss cracking open on the frozen lake surface.

Her gaze was sharp as she swept over the faces before her, some astonished, some disbelieving. Her words were clear and resounding:

"I returned this time with no intention of surviving. My sole purpose—"

She paused briefly, letting her shocking declaration weigh heavily on the deathly silence:

"That means killing the pharmacist."

Kill the Star God?!

Upon hearing this, both the seasoned veteran of the Immortal Boat and the well-informed nameless passenger on the Starry Sky Train were rendered speechless.

Incredulous gazes were fixed on the solitary, white-haired swordsman.

When the female swordswoman said these words, her tone was not only cold, but also conveyed a kind of all-consuming, almost destructive determination.

Jingliu's gaze swept calmly over the bloody scene before him, as if covered in frost.

This return to Luofu may be driven by nostalgia for his homeland, but it is more about bidding farewell to his past.

She knew that once she stepped onto this path of no return, the price she would have to pay would be beyond imagination.

At this moment, the generals of the Immortal Ship and the visitors of the Starry Sky Train are all here—so be it, let these people witness this destined choice together.

She didn't care about revealing her purpose; she was willing to pay any price to eliminate the pharmacist.

The past has long been stripped away, and loss has become the norm.

So what if we lose even more, even everything?

There was only one thing she was certain of: only by eradicating this "abundant" ailment could the eternal wound be healed.

As for sacrifice? That's inevitable.

"Ah Bai, did you hear that?" March 7th couldn't help but gently tug at Chen Bai's sleeve, her voice low but unable to hide her surprise. "General Jingyuan's master... said he wanted to kill Fengrao Star God? Is such a thing really possible?"

"No." Dan Heng spoke before Chen Bai could answer.

His gaze fell heavily on Jingliu, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

Compared to the blade that had once pursued him in his memories and reality, the silent white-haired woman before him brought a different kind of oppressive feeling, one that was more solid and colder.

His voice was not loud, but clear and calm: "A star god can only be killed by another star god. This is a universally acknowledged law of the universe. It is absolutely impossible for a mortal to do so."

He paused for a moment, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

If it were truly impossible, why would Jingliu so resolutely declare it? There wasn't even a trace of bluff in his tone.

"I don't think this sister would have chosen to come back to the Immortal Ship to say these words if she wasn't very confident."

Chen Bai picked up the conversation, but instead of answering March 7 directly, he turned to Xing and Qiong, "Xing, Qiong, do you remember what Kafka mentioned to us before?"

Xing blinked, looking thoughtful: "Which thing?"

Qiong seemed to have grasped the key point and tentatively asked, "You mean... a way to kill the Star God?"

“Not bad.” Chen Bai nodded, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding crowd who had unknowingly become breathless and listening intently, and began to recount:

"According to your mother, the Star God is indeed an unimaginably high-dimensional being, an embodiment of a certain concept that has ascended, and is almost equivalent to a part of the laws of the universe."

He then changed the subject, “But in the long history, there are precedents of star gods falling, such as the [Breeding] Taizyuros that Danheng mentioned to me before, and the [Order] Taiyi... as well as the [Pioneering] star god that our train follows, Archivli.”

After a pause in his spoken language, Chen continued his analysis:

"So, based on the information we have, we can conclude that there are theoretically three ways to kill or cause the Star God to fall."

"Firstly, the Star Gods engage in hand-to-hand combat, which I don't need to elaborate on."

"Secondly, through the covering and absorbing of destinies, when a broader and more fundamental path expands to the point of encompassing or even digesting another, the corresponding star deity may also fall silent or perish."

"As for the third one—"

At this point, Chen Bai paused.

Because at this moment, not only his companions, but everyone, including Jingliu, had their eyes on him.

"That is to make the Star God go against the destiny he has chosen. The first two have already been proven, but this last one is also possible."

Chen Bai revealed the final answer.

"Make the Star God... go against his own destiny?" Fu Xuan frowned and couldn't help but speak up, "This sounds even more impossible than the previous two."

“It is indeed hard to imagine,” Chen Bai replied, his tone carrying an analytical calm, “but from another perspective—what if they glimpsed a path far grander than their own destiny, a path containing infinite possibilities, to the point that even their own existence became insignificant? Like the martyrdom described in my hometown. For the star gods, the manifestation and realization of the Tao may be above all else.”

Chen Bai had made this speculation when he heard Qiong mention his relationship with Kafka before.

It sounds impossible to make a star god go against its destiny, but from this perspective, it is a possibility.

“So—” Jingliu’s cold voice cut in abruptly, severing everyone’s thoughts, “I chose the first option.”

The first type?

Jingyuan and Feixiao turned their gazes almost simultaneously, their eyes meeting with the same chilling intensity.

The first method is to instigate a war between the Star Gods and use another Star God to kill the Pharmacist.

She actually intended to... directly incite conflict among the Star Gods?

If this is indeed the case, it will involve far more than just the immortal ships; it could be an unimaginable war of gods that affects countless star fields.

The complexity and danger of the situation instantly escalated to another level.

The war of the gods is not unfamiliar to the Bloody Forest, as it occurred once before during the period of the global locust plague.

At that time, the offspring of [breeding] swept across the entire galaxy, bringing unimaginable disasters to countless worlds and civilizations.

Later, the star gods took action.

The One of Order, the Archivist of Expansion, the Hippe of Harmony, the Ahab of Joy, and the Kripper of Preservation, and even the Great Hand of Balance—mutual participation.

That war was a cataclysmic event; wherever it passed, civilization vanished.
