Chapter 106 - 106 - Laughing Haha

"Don't you want to go and speak with your friends from the past?" Jing Yuan returned to his Divine Foresight Commission. He sat on the steps, completely devoid of a general's dignified demeanor. The expression on his face was clearly a smile, yet it conveyed an inexplicable sense of complexity. "Old acquaintances have passed; the High-Cloud Quintet of yore has long since fallen apart..." One became a Nameless, one became a General, one is already dead, one is immortal... Xin Yu gazed at Jing Yuan, who was still smiling. He could see the longing in the other's eyes as he looked towards those five figures from the past—the purest nostalgia for beautiful bygone days. "Sir... thank you for your help, and thank you for your contributions to the Xianzhou... But your abilities are truly too special, so special that if they were made public, countless people in this galaxy would madly pursue you. Therefore, I cannot give you a gift in my capacity as a Xianzhou General. I can only give you something in my personal capacity." Jing Yuan stood before his storage chest. From a cabinet that had always been locked and never opened, he took out a gray longsword. "This is the sword I used when I trained with my master back then. So many years have passed, and I've always kept it here as a memento... In the future, if someone brings this sword to the Luofu General of that time, as long as the request does not endanger the Xianzhou Alliance and does not exceed moral bottom lines, the General of that time will certainly do everything in his power to fulfill any other matter." "Sir, this might be an insignificant gift to you... but to Jing Yuan, it is the heaviest promise I can give. Apart from this, if Sir desires anything else, please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my utmost to find it for you." "There's no need. This sword is enough." Xin Yu accepted the gray longsword from the other's hand, then his entire figure rapidly dissipated, like a fleeting illusion. Jing Yuan sat back down in his office seat. He looked at the unfinished official business on the papers before him and silently picked up his brush again. People must always move forward. To be endlessly immersed in the past is to have one's steps constantly fettered by its weight. The past is the staircase upon which we stepped to reach today, but it should not become the chains Entfernen our ankles. ... After some searching, Xin Yu finally found everyone in the Artisanship Commission. Well, they were currently fighting a deer. He observed for a short while and found that no matter how many times this deer was knocked down, or even killed several times, it would get back up in an extremely short period. Its exuberant vitality even caused branches to sprout from the hard surrounding floor, like withered wood encountering spring. Xin Yu felt that if they didn't find a way to suppress this abnormally vigorous vitality, unless they directly obliterated the opponent's form, it would likely be very difficult to defeat it. Just as Xin Yu was thinking of intervening, he saw the battle situation change. The group seemed to have found the reason for the deer's abundant energy and vitality. Through certain means, they severed the deer's energy circuit, causing it to lose its endless supply of vitality and energy. It was finally defeated by the combined efforts of the group. It had to be said, Mr. Welt's strength was still quite formidable; that miniature pseudo-black hole was indeed powerful enough. After the group dealt with the deer constituted by Abundance, Xin Yu walked out from a patch of nothingness. At this moment, he finally attracted the attention of everyone present. "Xin Yu! You're alright!" March 7th looked at Xin Yu, who had clearly been wearing black clothes before they parted but was now in gray. Although she was a bit curious, her current overwhelming emotion was happiness for his recovery. "Mm." Xin Yu smiled and nodded in response, then looked at the two people present besides the Express crew: one was the Lord Ravager Phantylia disguised as Tingyun, and the other was someone he didn't know. Xin Yu himself had also brushed up on some interstellar knowledge. He certainly knew what level of existence an Emanator was. He had also heard Mr. Welt mention that the most famous examples were the Emanators of the Destruction Path, those so-called Lord Ravagers. Each one was said to possess the power to burn star systems, and their Harbingers of Havoc beneath them even had records of destroying entire planets single-handedly. Xin Yu was also very surprised when he learned this, because according to Kiana's description, the Herrscher of the End—of course, she was using herself as an example—seemed to have reached a galaxy-level, which was the power level of an Emanator. This was truly hard to imagine. Xin Yu felt that even if he went all out now, at most he could only cleanse the surface of a planet, turning a living world into a dead star. As for physically shattering a planet, he really couldn't do that yet. And that Herrscher of the End was already an existence capable of destroying galaxies... It was truly difficult to imagine how the warriors of the Previous Era managed to fight such a monster. And the moon wasn't destroyed in such a peak battle? ...Of course, the most despairing fact was, did those most powerful warriors gathered by the Previous Era not even qualify to make the Herrscher of the End get serious? Kiana... how did you become the Herrscher of the End back then? It's truly an unimaginable hardship. "Mr. Welt, there are some things I'd like to discuss." Welt understood the meaning behind Xin Yu's words. He then apologized to Tingyun and Mr. Gongshu behind him and led the Astral Express crew to a more distant place for a private conversation. Xin Yu revealed his ability to travel through time, specifically mentioning that the cost of time travel was significant and that it was impossible to travel to the distant past or the far future. After recounting a series of future events, March 7th almost couldn't stop herself from turning to look at the Lord Ravager disguised as Tingyun. Fortunately, Welt, who was beside her, stopped her in time; otherwise, the group might very well have revealed some clues. "I also have a video that future Xing wants to give to past Xing. Er, although I don't quite understand it, perhaps future Xing wants to convey some message to herself..." Xin Yu thought of the absurd video he had personally filmed and still couldn't understand what Xing was doing at that time. Xing curiously took the phone from Xin Yu. Welt and March 7th beside her also leaned in curiously, wanting to see what kind of video that future Xing had filmed. "Oh, is the video already recording?" The Xing in the video seemed to be in an alley. After noticing the camera was on, she smoothed the hair on her forehead, an irrepressible smile on her face. Then, the Xing in the video began to hum an unknown song and started dancing. No one could understand what song she was humming; the strange melody and unknown words were completely incomprehensible. And the dance also inexplicably gave off an extremely grotesque feeling, as strange and somewhat amusing as a circus clown. "Pfft!" March 7th was the first to lose her composure, bursting into laughter while clutching her stomach. "Haha! Xing! Even when sending a video to your past self, you're still so mischievous!" "Hehe~ Truly lively..." Welt also couldn't help but laugh, but his brow suddenly furrowed deeply, yet the smile on his face still didn't cease. "Hahahaha!" Xing, on the other hand, burst into uncontrollable laughter. The exaggerated sound of her laughter even made the other two people observing from a distance feel that something was off. "Hahaha! What's going on? Why does this old man also want to laugh when he hears that laughter!" "Hehe... Little old me, why... why do I also want to laugh! Haha!" The laughter overlapped continuously, causing the sound waves to spread outwards, eventually attracting several out-of-control mechanical creations. However, these mechanical creations were also laughing, laughing uncontrollably.
