Starry Sky: My Life Star God, starting reward Ruan Mei

Chapter 108 They Will Never Back Down

In Ruan Mei's bedroom, Bai Yan sat in a chair, holding Xiao Ya, who had just finished mopping the floor, and fed her some snacks.

After Nguyen Mai handed him the trial equipment, he said a brief goodbye and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Xiaoya looked at her mother with a big smile: "Dad said he'll come to see us again tomorrow."

Ruan Mei didn't say much, but simply nodded, her slender fingers threading through Xiaoya's emerald green hair as she gently patted her head.

A strange, gentle feeling welled up inside me.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Luofu Immortal Boat, a tranquil and serene place where star boats moor near a street, with only a few hurried footsteps of passersby around, is even more serene today.

Tingyun waited quietly, and pondered.

She picked up her spare communication device and began searching through the history of the Luofu Immortal Ship. She knew this history by heart, but hadn't reviewed it in a long time.

From the Three Calamities period, to the Blood War period, and later the Swift War...

Amidst those fine electronic specks, Tingyun was immersed in the legend of the Luofu Immortal Boat.

Her white fox ears twitched slightly from time to time, revealing the ripples in her heart, as if she could hear the echoes of history whispering in her ear.

Historical records do not elaborate on the horrors of the events, but rather record various data from that time, such as the number of casualties... The numbers are cold, yet they subtly convey the pain of blood and fire.

The significance of these numbers goes far beyond simply evoking pity. Behind each number lies the end of countless lives and the hope of new beginnings.

Unlike her parents, who were armed and ready to fight, she continues to do so in her own way, with her limited strength, to try and propel Luofu toward a more prosperous future.

"Did I bother you?"

Bai Yan's voice suddenly appeared, retrieving Ting Yun from the blood pool of history.

As if stained with the blood of Luofu's history, Tingyun had not yet fully recovered.

She put away her phone, turned to look at Bai Yan sitting in the passenger seat beside her, and replied simply in her current speaking style, "No. Where are you planning to go next, sir?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "No rush. Your Grand Diviner is interrogating Kafka using the Qiong Guan Array. We'll go over there later."

Because Jing Yuan had played along with the plan, and because he hadn't interfered with Kafka's arrest, the current situation wasn't much different from his distant memories.

However, during the pursuit, Xing's combat abilities startled March 7.

According to his distant memory, after Xing and March 7th met Kafka, the withered Jianmu tree will sprout again.

Because someone secretly threw the star core into the cave that sealed the Jianmu tree.

The current situation is still under Jingyuan's control, and whether the star core can be invested in the cave heaven related to Jianmu is not solely up to the enemy.

Jing Yuan also guessed that the enemy who had infiltrated the Immortal Ship should be a figure of the Commander level, so it was not advisable to act rashly in order to avoid causing too many casualties. It was necessary to build a more suitable stage, at least this stage could not be too close to the people of the Immortal Ship.

Before the stage was set up, he had time to train a swordsman for Luofu.

Bai Yan took out a pair of sunglasses from the storage device and handed them to Ting Yun: "Try them on."

This was the simulated life trial device that Nguyen Mai had just handed him.

The device, designed by two geniuses, doesn't need to be bulky. It can carry a massive amount of information and functions with just a device the size of sunglasses. Of course, the material of these sunglasses is not cheap.

Tingyun didn't know the purpose of the sunglasses, but she still took them and put them on.

"Close your eyes."

Following Bai Yan's instructions, Ting Yun closed her eyes.

"Don't panic, it will be over soon."

At first, she could still feel her body, but after a few seconds, everything went black before her eyes, and she lost all sensation in her body, her consciousness sinking into another world.

The few seconds are not the loading time of this device, but rather the buffer time given to the nervous system of the body.

In the pitch-black darkness, it seemed as if someone had lit a blood-red lamp.

At the same time, the sounds of fighting suddenly arose, making her fox ears ache.

Finally, her vision was illuminated again, and a hellish scene she had never seen before came into view.

She saw the Cloud Cavalry, fully armored and wielding sharp blades, engaged in a bloody battle with extraordinary monsters in the Immortal Boat Cave.

These monsters have a terrifying appearance. Their bodies are covered with lush foliage like armor, yet blood-red liquid seeps from the gaps, creating an absurd patchwork of life and death.

It is a bountiful evil that has been blessed by the ancestors with the power of plague and misfortune, violates the cycle of life and death, goes against death, or is already dead in a certain social sense.

The thunderous war drums and rousing bugle calls intertwined, making the entire battlefield resemble a desolate apocalyptic scene.

The soldiers' bronze armor gleamed with dazzling fighting spirit in the sunlight, while the lush green of the monster's branches was gradually adorned with blood-red spots in the flames of war.

"kill!"

The brave soldiers in the ranks roared and charged towards the monsters.

The spear pierced the body of a monster, whose branches withered as if wounded, but the flesh writhed in a gruesome manner, trying to expel the spear from its body.

Those leaf monsters seemed insensitive to pain; even when their bodies were cut into pieces, their exposed flesh still struggled desperately on the ground, trying to reassemble itself.

Even with their eyes pierced, they could still sense the movements of every Cloud Cavalryman. Their attacks were fierce and accurate, and almost every bite took away a life.

Tingyun lived in a relatively peaceful era in Luofu and had never experienced such a brutal war.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

One by one, the lives of her compatriots were being lost before her eyes, their deaths staining the entire battlefield red.

In this battle against the invasion of the Immortal Ship by the abundant evil creatures, countless heroic soldiers fell under the sudden shadow.

The battlefield had become a slaughterhouse, with blood staining every inch of the land and reddening the gleaming armor of the fallen soldiers.

Tingyun's rationality was evaporating, leaving her no time to contemplate the illusion before her.

This is indeed an illusion, but it is an illusion evolved from the memory of the universe. Everything she sees has happened in the history of the Immortal Ship.

Even considering her mental capacity, Bai Yan reduced the severity of the attack.

Even the most imaginative person, upon seeing historical records, cannot truly and realistically feel the devastation.

Bai Yan has given Ting Yun this opportunity, and this is just the beginning.

The history of most civilizations is intertwined with iron and blood, and it is this intertwining that forged strong and brave lives.

What kind of beliefs would a civilian official who is not good at fighting develop after experiencing almost all the wars in the history of the Immortal Ship?

This trial was just an appetizer.

The battle before Tingyun's eyes was still ongoing.

The bountiful creatures and the Cloud Cavalry continued their slaughter as if they hadn't seen her.

In this reenactment of the history of the immortal ship, the Cloud Cavalry never retreated, covering each other and calmly executing their countermeasures.

Some lunged forward with shields to protect their comrades from the arrow-like branches; others brandished halberds, severing the writhing vines with overwhelming force.

They knew that this battle concerned the safety of their homeland, their beloved families, and their countless compatriots.

They knew that behind the Cloud Cavalry were the people of the Immortal Ship, the last line of defense against the evil forces.

They have nowhere to retreat, and they will never retreat!

Chapter 109 Special Sword Training

Tingyun had limited knowledge of the true nature of the war.

However, as the memories of war slowly unfolded before her in this way, an unprecedented shock appeared on her usually calm and elegant face.

Tingyun's figure was stiff, as if frozen in a crack in time, staring intently at the battlefield full of purgatory scenes.

Her white fox ears froze in mid-air, motionless, as if even the slightest instinctive tremor had ceased at that moment.

She thought she was fully prepared, but facing this double impact of visual and emotional shock still made it difficult for her to calm down.

Those faces distorted by battle, those sighs mingled with despair and courage, brought an indescribable sorrow to her red eyes.

Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms, and tears unknowingly dripped from the corners of her eyes.

It wasn't until a clear voice snapped her out of her grief and anger: "Calm down first. My goal isn't to drive you crazy."

The clear, gentle voice was like a spring breeze, softly caressing her restless heart. At the same time, a figure appeared beside her.

Her clenched fist gradually relaxed, her nails slipping from her palm, leaving faint marks. She gently closed her eyes, trying to calm the ripples in her heart and slowly let her grief and anger settle.

War is often far more devastating than people imagine.

She quietly wiped away her tears, and with a deep breath, she felt as if the air around her was filled with the peace brought by Bai Yan.

Seeing that she was slowly recovering, Bai Yan spoke again: "This is an illusion that evolved from the historical memories of the Immortal Ship."

"phantom?"

"It originates from a cosmic memory extracted by a [Memory] Envoy. Although it is an illusion, this history is absolutely real."

Bai Yan continued to explain, "You are currently immersed in the world of consciousness, where the flow of time is different from that of the outside world. What you see is merely a scene generated by me adjusting your nerves."

Before Tingyun could fully comprehend what was happening, Bai Yan's figure gradually disappeared: "When my figure disappears, these phantoms will see you. Your challenge has not yet truly begun; this is merely a simple swordsmanship training session."

Tingyun's white fox ears twitched slightly.

"Of course, if you haven't drawn your sword after I've disappeared, this sword training will stop here and won't affect our next plan."

The fact that those phantoms saw her meant that she would join the battle. Although she couldn't change the past, the experience she gained could change the future.

She has made up her mind to meet the challenge, so there is no reason for her to back down.

Because she was not skilled in combat and had long held an administrative position, she still harbored a deep-seated fear, and her hands trembled slightly as she faced the hellish scene...

Because they were from the Immortal Ship, the Cloud Cavalry soldiers who were truly facing death did not back down. But how could she have the face to back down when faced with a swordsmanship training session that had no risk?

Even from the perspective of her usual business dealings, she had already reached a contract with her benefactor, so how could she not do her best?

She has never relied heavily on force, avoiding violent conflict with words and wisdom, but now she must seek growth amidst violence and pain.

She knew this was a challenge unlike anything she usually did.

But she also didn't want the people around her, or the people of the Immortal Ship, to perish in future wars.
