Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

Watching Jingliu's resolute departure, Zhongheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say or do.

I really wanted to light a cigarette and chase after him to explain things, but in the end I gave up.

He let out a long sigh, then turned to glance at the corner of his clothing that had inadvertently peeked out from outside the pavilion: "Come out."

The figure tried to retreat after realizing it had been discovered, but was pushed out by its companion.

March 7, who was pushed out by Xing, scratched his head awkwardly: "Um... senior, I didn't expect you to be in Luofu too."

"That cold, aloof older sister just now..."

"March..." March 7 wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Walter beside him.

March 7th realized what was happening and immediately covered her mouth, her big eyes carefully observing Zhong Heng's expression.

Seeing that there was no obvious change in his expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Heng waved his hand: "Mr. Walter, there's no need for that. Since you've all heard it, let me tell you..."

"That person just now... is the master of Jing Yuan, the current General of Luofu Divine Strategy."

March 7th's eyes widened in surprise: "Wow~ so that person actually had such an identity!"

Zhong Heng nodded: "But at the same time... that person is also a wanted criminal on the Immortal Boat Alliance's record."

"Uh..." Little March felt her brain wasn't working properly right now.

As the former master of the general who commanded a celestial ship, he must have been a prominent figure in the past and probably made many contributions.

What exactly happened that caused such a person to become a wanted criminal on the Xianzhou Alliance's record?

Moreover, judging from the conversation between that person and Zhong Heng just now, it seems that there is another hidden story behind it.

"If I said...it was all fate, would you believe me?"

With a self-deprecating laugh, Zhongheng brought up "fate" once again.

Walter frowned. Although he was only a fraction of Zhong Heng's age, he had experienced quite a lot over the years and could be considered quite knowledgeable.

Moreover, in this world with star gods and destiny, the concept of "fate" doesn't seem entirely impossible.

"What exactly is this 'fate' that Your Honor speaks of?"

Zhong Heng paused, as if gathering his thoughts, before continuing, "I believe you had already made contact with the Star Core Hunters before coming to the Immortal Ship Alliance..."

"You can think of fate as a play written on the script of the 'end'."

"Their leader, Elio, is the most unique among the many fragments of divine power of the star god 'The Last King,' who reached the end and looked back."

"It is precisely because the last king has reached the end once that he is able to find the more perfect line among the many branches of the future."

"That's why... Star Core Hunters are so convinced of the future in the 'script,' which is also known as 'fate.'"

At this point, Zhong Heng paused for a moment, giving the train crew some time to process what he had said.

After a moment, he continued.

"If your Starry Sky Train hadn't chosen to come to Luofu after making contact with the Star Core Hunters this time..."

"Then fate will take a different turn..."

"The Immortal Ship Luo Fu has mostly sunk, suffering heavy casualties; and that person from just now will become the new 'Great Lord of Annihilation' in the future."

"And in such a future, since you did not board the Immortal Ship Luofu to help them resolve the impending events."

"Therefore, naturally, your train crew cannot gain the friendship of the Immortal Boat Alliance."

"In the future 'War of the Gods,' due to your different choices this time, you will lack much support and will naturally be unable to reverse the prophecy of the 'Last King.'"

Therefore, in that future, the "end" is already a foregone conclusion!

Little March clutched the hem of her clothes, looking extremely nervous: "Ah!~ That kind of future is too terrible, isn't it?"

"But why should it be our train crew who chooses to shoulder this mission?"

"He was just thinking about having a fun adventure with everyone on the train."

Walter tightened his grip on his cane, then adjusted his glasses and said to the two children beside him, "March, this is no longer a question of how we choose."

"This is a game of chess and a contest between the Star Gods; it's not something we can simply choose not to participate in."

"It is obvious that we are still on the right track, and that kind of future has not happened."

"What I'm wondering is... is it really appropriate for His Excellency the Supreme Judge to be telling us this at this moment?"

"Aren't you afraid that if we, the anonymous guests, know too much, it will change our future fate?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Heng burst into laughter.

He had said the same thing to Kagami Ryu before.

Perhaps Jingliu had heard too much about "fate" from him and lost too much in the process.

Now, entangled in demonic influence, she no longer cares about the fate Zhong Heng speaks of; she only trusts herself and the sword in her hand.

Walter, on the other hand, was still rational, passionate, and willing to calmly analyze and listen to the advice of others.

"I just said the same thing to that former Sword Master—Kyoryu..."

"There will be other ways."

Xing, who had been listening for a long time, twirled the baseball bat in her hand: "So... that means the 'fate' of the past couldn't be changed, but it's different now?"

"If you ask me, who cares about this or that? Rules are meant to be broken, and so is fate!"

"Just like that older sister named Kagami Ryu said, she never believed in fate, and neither do I!"

Zhong Heng clapped his hands: "Not bad, very energetic!"

Xing stood tall with his hands on his hips, a smug look on his face.

Before Xing could gloat for long, Zhong Heng continued, "Then do you know why the Star Core Hunter chose you, little guy?"

Xing tilted her chin up: "That's because I, the Galactic Baseball Man, am the embodiment of strength and intelligence, as well as beauty and sex appeal. There's nothing I can't do!"

Zhong Heng twitched the corners of his mouth. It was hard to imagine that Xing, whose eyes were so clear and innocent when he met her at the space station, had become such a pathetic person after just finishing the Yalilo-VI mission.

I never imagined that Xing would turn out like this, and the main reason for it was the game panel that he had loaded for the other party.

Taking a deep breath and automatically filtering out the other person's words, Zhong Heng continued:

"That's because... in the past, you walked to the end with them, the *Star Core Hunters* (the Nameless Ones), witnessing and becoming part of the 'End'!"

"Now, they set sail once again, wanting to change that future."
