Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

At the crucial moment, it was Yanqing who took the initiative to reach out and support Luca.

After slowly getting up, Yanqing grabbed Luca's iron arm, stood on tiptoe slightly, and raised both of their hands high. The scene froze on the two of them raising their hands together, and thunderous cheers immediately erupted around them.

Luca was somewhat puzzled by this.

Brother Yanqing... are you pitying me? I don't need this kind of victory; I can already accept my defeat with equanimity.

Yanqing: [No, you did not fail.]

Yanqing's gaze shifted to the audience, where even though the outcome was already decided, the audience was still cheering for Luca.

Didn't you hear that? Luca Bellóberg, everyone's cheering for you!

I think that in their hearts, you are definitely not a failure.

This ending was somewhat unexpected.

"Unlock the ending: Win-win!"

"The purpose of the martial arts ceremony is to demonstrate martial virtue, and this kind of operation makes the Immortal Ship look even more grand!"

"It's quite remarkable; Yanqing already has the air of a senior figure."

"Speaking of Yun Li, I want to see Yun Yan's battle!"

Yun Li: Thanks for the invitation, I'm still locked up in the Pill Refining Department.

Finally, seeing the scene where both sides prioritized friendship over competition, Jimi was also deeply moved.

[Sobbing, in my opinion, this was a match without victory or defeat! At this moment, the mutual respect between the two sides and the complete immersion of the audience speak for themselves! An unprecedented match that transcends victory and defeat! Sobbing...]

[Damn it, stop filming me, film them, film those two kids!]

Thus, the martial arts ceremony successfully concluded.

In the post-match lounge, Xi Kui, conveying Jing Yuan's message, invited Luca to the Shence Mansion.

Luca was quite surprised to learn that he would be able to meet the highest leader of the Celestial Ship.

After all, for an ordinary person to meet General Xianzhou is something they can brag about for a lifetime.

A moment later, inside the Shence Mansion.

Hello, Luca from Belloberg. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Normally it doesn't seem like much in the story, but when Jingyuan hears about Luca from Belloberg, the audience, including Luca himself, are inexplicably excited.

Luca just couldn't understand why Jingyuan would make a special trip to see him at this time.

Jing Yuan: [Because of the brilliant match you just fought, and because more than seven hundred years have passed, you are the second Yalilo to arrive at the Luofu Immortal Ship and participate in the martial arts ceremony.]

These words immediately connected with the earlier subplot involving Igor, eliciting gasps from the audience.

"My God, Jing Yuan really knew Igor!"

"No wonder there was Igor's story earlier; it turns out he was setting the stage here!"

"The immortals transcend time and space to reunite with the inheritors of the short-lived!"

"This perfectly illustrates that if you live long enough, you really can see everything."

Hearing Luca mention Igor's name, Jingyuan was filled with emotion.

Igor...what a memorable name. I know him, no, I shouldn't say I know him. I'll always remember him. You and he are so alike.

Jingyuan then began to tell this story from more than seven hundred years ago.

I was very young then, and I was once a defending swordsman in a martial arts ceremony.

Igor, the tall, red-haired boxer, appeared in the ring. Each punch he threw seemed to carry the weight of the world.

Chapter 483 I Miss You, Prisoner

As Jing Yuan recounted the story, this tale from seven hundred years ago gradually unfolded.

After each competition, Igor had a strange habit: he would refuse all prize money and gifts, tell the audience about his homeland that had suffered so much, warn people to be wary of attacks by the antimatter legion, and hope that someone with the ability could help him.

And so, Igor overcame all obstacles and finally arrived before Jing Yuan, just like Luca and Yan Qing had done this time.

However, towards the end of the battle, Igor suddenly stopped and left the arena.

The scene shifts again to the same one where Igor is standing at the starship window looking out, only this time he is accompanied by a white-haired youth, who is none other than Jing Yuan in his youth.

This connection spanning hundreds of years, and Jingyuan's youthful appearance, evoke a sense of wonder.

"oi! Mid-range cat!"

"Jing Yuanyuan from the Youth Sports Team! So cool!"

"Although they look similar, their overall demeanor has changed a lot."

"Is he that strong? He's evenly matched with the young Jing Yuan?"

"Overalls Cat!"

Do you even realize how valuable the limited-edition SSR card of the Handsome Young Man from Luofu in the Fairy Boat Beauty Encyclopedia is?

"General Jingyuan's looks are so striking that even I have to give him a wide berth."

"So this retirement is for life, right?"

Getting back to the main point, Jing Yuan spoke with a deep worry etched on his face.

[Igor, the Alliance's higher-ups have heard your story, and the plight of your hometown has evoked sympathy from many of your fellow Cloud Riders.]

Is there anything besides sympathy?

Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Boat Alliance might not have ignored this, but the timing was simply too unfortunate.

At this moment, the Yaoqing Immortal Ship has sent out a beacon signal, indicating that a great battle between the immortal ships and the people of Fengrao is imminent. There is nothing we can do to help them.

Listening to Jingyuan's story, Igor finally sighed helplessly.

I understand, thank you, Jingyuan.

I'm going home. My hometown needs me... I thought the Milky Way was vast, that I could find a way to save it, that someone would listen to my cries for help.

But I was wrong. The tragedy of Ariello-VI is insignificant. It unfolds in every corner of the universe, not here, but there, not today, but tomorrow.

People have long been accustomed to the disappearance of a tiny, insignificant star.

As he threw punches again and again, his family and friends were bleeding and dying for the invasion of the legion, and his hope was gradually extinguished.

And now, it's time to go back.

If a child cannot raise a fist for his mother when she needs protection, what right does he have to call himself her child?

Listening to Igor's story, everyone was deeply moved.

"This man truly deserves the title of hero; after experiencing so much in the galaxy, he's still willing to go back."

"I was so moved I almost cried. Now, I'm going home to protect my mother!"

"This is true protection!"

"Fortunately, the people of Belloberg did not stop fighting. They persevered for 700 years and finally waited for the nameless visitor as a turning point!"

"I really love the story of Bay City! Even with Cocolia from before, I felt that she was truly doing it for Bay City!"

"There's a reason why Wumingke has such a good reputation; there are plenty of people who add to someone's success, but very few who offer help in times of need."

I miss you, Lao Tai!

"I couldn't hold back my laughter as soon as the nickname 'Byd' came out."

In the end, Igor said goodbye to Jingyuan, but considering his age, it was unlikely that they would meet again after this farewell.

If I had the chance, I'd love to have another match with you!

Gazing at the stars outside the window, only Igor remained, murmuring softly to himself.

"...I'm coming home, Mom."

I've won all my boxing matches. But this time, I can't win.

Looking at Igor who left back then, Jing Yuan, who was just a Yunqi Xiaowei at the time, could only watch his despairing back and couldn't even utter a word of comfort.

Time flew by, and three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

The screen went black, and a certain advisor from the Imperial Shipyard asked the current general for instructions.

[Excuse me, General, what's the name of the world you just mentioned?]

Jing Yuan: [Let's send an invitation to the world called Yalilo-VI at this year's Martial Arts Ceremony, and hope that his descendants will respond.]

However, the symbol representing Arillow-VI on the Tianbosi's star chart routes had already been extinguished.

A clear sigh rang out, filled with melancholy and disbelief, evoking a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or sympathy).

"It's rare to hear Jing Yuanyuan speak with such strong emotional fluctuations."

"He had gone through so much back then, and then he heard this..."

"Jing Yuan must be very frustrated right now. He waited so long to finally lend a helping hand, only to find out it was too late."

In the end, Jingyuan still ordered an invitation to be sent to Yalilo-VI, just as a wish that would never come true. This is the origin of the original invitation from four hundred years ago.

Before Igor left, he gave Jingyuan a small souvenir.

As he spoke, the scene shifted.

A slightly yellowed but still well-preserved photograph appeared.

In the photo, a bright red-haired boy with a cheerful, toothy smile is seen, while the man next to him, with his arm around his shoulder and slightly shorter than him, is Jing Yuan in his youth, also wearing a genuine smile like Igor.

[This is a photo of the two of us before we said goodbye. Although he was burdened with heavy disappointment that day, he still tried his best to smile.]

This photograph from the past, like a hardcore fantasist, inexplicably ignited the emotions of the audience.

"Waaaaah, the smiles of two people..."

"The Image in My Memory"

"The fact that photos from hundreds of years ago are preserved so well shows how much Jing Yuanyuan cherishes this friendship."

"Igor is so handsome!"

"No wonder Jingyuan said it looked just like him, Luca, is he a descendant of Igor?"

"Back then, Kyungwon still had his eyes showing!! So energetic! So cute!"

"This is probably the end of Jingyuan's most carefree childhood... Soon it will be Bai Heng's death in the Yinyue Rebellion."

Due to limited capabilities, Jing Yuan could only watch helplessly as Igor left.

Now, I want to give back a gift to his descendants.

Seven hundred years ago, I didn't have the chance to help his homeland. Now, it's not too late.

A few days later, Belloberg.

A familiar yet unlikely figure stood in the center of the administrative district square, side by side with Bronya—it was Skypiea, the Skypiea Commander!

[By the witness of the Eternal Winter Monument, I, Bronya Rand, the High Warden, declare: The "Fairyship Luofu - Beloborg Reciprocal Trade Agreement" is now in effect!]

This scene of Yu Kong and Bronya appearing together is truly unexpected.

Congratulations to Louvre and Belleberg on establishing diplomatic relations!

"Wow, that's incredibly efficient! Jingyuan must have been preparing for this a long time ago!"

"The seeds of hope are finally about to sprout from the cold winter!"

"Perfect timing! The Immortal Ship is now turning its attention to destruction, while Bei City is also dealing with the antimatter legions that have awakened from the cold wave."

"Suddenly I realized...is this the outcome Elio hoped for? With the help of the Star Train, many things are different."

"Witness a historic moment!"

"The company previously stated that Belloberg's commercial value was actually very low, and what they call reciprocity is essentially one-sided aid."

"Holy crap, we've practically watched Bellenberg get better and better! It's so exciting!"
