Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

“Hehehe~~~~”

The slightly seductive voice of a mature woman echoed in my ears, and everything in sight turned to ashes.

After that, he briefly suppressed himself and sank into the ancient sea's sealed land, where he then met a peculiar young man.

With his help, Luofu was eventually sent into the star, where it perished along with the evil creatures and the legion.

"Well then, see you later, General Shence."

The intense flames engulfed everything, and all of that came to a quiet halt. His senses began to gradually return.

Was it a dream?

Jing Yuan thought so, but everything just now was too clear, so clear that it didn't seem like a dream, but rather like some kind of divination.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he wondered if this was some kind of mind-altering technique used by the people of Liuguang Yiting? Or perhaps some unknown creature similar to Suiyang?

However, as soon as Jingyuan opened his eyes, his gaze was unconsciously drawn to someone who had only appeared in his 'dream' before.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Fu Qing. I was a little drowsy just now. This isn't the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to discuss this further."

However, he did not show any unusual expression on his face, and his actions and words were no different from usual.

"Humph."

Fu Xuan was clearly furious with Jing Yuan's previous actions. Even when the general apologized, she still snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

However, the matter was urgent, so she didn't dwell on it too much.

Yu Tianyi simply followed them without saying much. His main purpose in joining the main storyline was to gather information.

After all, given the sheer difficulty of this cheating incident, it would be unrealistic for him to expect to clear it in one go with his current abilities.

After the two dismissed their attendants and went inside to talk in detail, Yu Tianyi also spoke to the Cloud Knights who were on guard. Because of his status as a craftsman, these people did not ignore him.

"Now there's a question: how was the star core brought into the immortal ship?"

Although Rakshasa appeared to take responsibility for the matter in the pre-transmigration storyline, it was later revealed that he and Jingliu were only using this as a medium to confront Marshal Xianzhou directly.

The real culprit is probably Huanlong, so how she managed to send such a dangerous item into Luofu is worth discussing.

In addition, many things in this incident are different from the original plot, making it difficult to pinpoint the other party.

"Tingyun... I don't know when she was replaced. If she was replaced by Huanlong long ago in this incident, then it's not impossible for her to secretly bring in the star core as the chief representative of the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce and the ferryman."

According to the Cloud Riders around them, the Star Core Cataclysm has not yet occurred. If the Star Core can be prevented from entering Luofu, then Huanlong's plan will probably fail.

However, given Yu Tianyi's opinion on this cheat, it's unlikely to be that simple.

I'm so busy! I only had time to update Honkai Impact 3rd today. The new text has a fresh idea, not bad at all.

Chapter 35 The Power of Illusion

"Yu, please come in."

"How did the general's talk with the diviner go?"

Yu Tianyi slowly walked into the room, seemingly unconcerned by Yu Jingyuan's calm gaze.

"Was what just happened your doing?"

“Jingyuan, you must have already verified some things with Fu Taibu. Now that time is of the essence, let’s get straight to the point.”

"Dragging this out any further will not benefit you, me, or the entire Luofu region."

He had no intention of arguing with Jing Yuan, and directly checked the code from the prologue with him.

"Such a strange thing, I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

Jing Yuan's expression was somewhat complicated. His previous conversation with Fu Xuan had confirmed part of the contents of that 'dream'.

As for what will happen next, further investigation is needed, since a similar beginning does not mean that things will be the same later.

Moreover, he himself did not want this to be true, as it involved the entire Luofu region.

Even though Luofu was once the leader of the Immortal Ship Alliance and the first flagship to enjoy the blessings of abundance, it has been in decline since the two major upheavals more than seven hundred years ago.

The current combat strength is far from what it used to be. The Cloud Cavalry can be replenished, but the high-level combat strength has been reduced by more than half, and it has not yet fully recovered its strength.

"Perhaps that is why Huanlong has set his sights on Luofu."

Jing Yuan also had a headache thinking about this. On the surface, Luo Fu seemed to have no problems, and there was no reason to ask other immortal ships for help.

After all, Luo Fu is not like Yao Qing, who is either fighting against evil spirits or on his way to fight against evil spirits. It is only right to send cloud cavalry to assist him.

"What's your solution?"

"Didn't the general already think of that?"

Although Yu Tianyi believed that the incident was not that simple, he still had to give it a try.

“Huanlong is indeed a big problem. If that ‘dream’ is true, we must stop her from obtaining the remnants of the Jianmu tree no matter what.”

Jing Yuan naturally understood the key to this. Although Huanlong, who had not obtained the Abundant Divine Miracle, posed a considerable threat, he was ultimately someone he could handle with ease.

Once she allows the opponent to merge with the Jianmu tree, her strength will surge to the point where she can overturn the chessboard. At that time, she will be able to break through all laws with her own strength and make everything change according to her own ideas.

At that time, both Jing Yuan himself and the Immortal Ship will be transformed into an endless purgatory, just like the future depicted in the 'dream'.

"According to the records of the Tianbo Bureau, Tingyun has been back for several days. Is she now Huanlong?"

Jing Yuan's expression was solemn. If that were the case, then the star core might have already fallen on Luofu, waiting for the right moment to activate.

"The Great Lord of Annihilation's disguise is indeed impressive. After all, she is just an individual similar to Suiyang, and her physical body is merely a vessel that can be changed at will."

After creating a body that is completely identical to that of the Cloud-Stopping Envoy, it would naturally be seamless, and no difference would be noticeable.

Yu Tianyi also offered his own insights.

"We first need to confirm whether the star core is already on Luofu, or whether it has not yet been taken onto the immortal ship by Huanlong."

"This is difficult. The Alliance and the Legion have a history of fighting each other. The power of the Ember Ancestor can cause the outline of the calculation to become blurred. The further back in time, the more difficult it is to present a clear result."

This is also why, even though Fu Qing was aware of the problem, she couldn't easily make targeted arrangements.

Jing Yuan shook his head. If the divination of the Grand Diviner could predict everything, then the Immortal Ship Alliance would definitely be invincible.

Unfortunately, most of the time divination only provides a result, while the process remains unclear and cannot be further explored, requiring those in power to make their own decisions.

For example, in the battle where the Abundant Alliance of decades ago re-emerged and directly threatened Fanghu, even knowing the outcome of the Demon Star's activation, it was impossible to know the specific information in advance to stop it.

Ultimately, it was thanks to Fu Xuan's suggestion that the Emperor's Bow and Divine Arrow were summoned; otherwise, Fang Hu would probably have suffered the same fate as Cang Cheng back then.

"Luofu Cave Heaven is vast and its boundaries are numerous, making it difficult to know the exact location of the star core. However, such an important thing must be kept in mind by Huanlong at all times."

Just then, we learned Huanlong's true identity. She was in the open, while we were in the shadows. This information gap made locking onto the star core relatively easy.

However, Jing Yuan immediately changed the subject, no longer focusing on the star core, but instead following the clues and making use of their current intelligence advantage.

“Jingyuan, your suggestion is indeed good. However, in the meantime, if we can reinforce the Jianmu seal of Linyuan Realm again, it might be the way to solve the problem at its root.”

Yu Tianyi then raised a crucial question: even if the star core is found, if Huanlong is not deterred but instead takes this opportunity to forcibly enter the Jianmu seal, all efforts will be in vain.

“Strengthening the seal on the Jianmu tree is truly difficult. The Luofu Dragon Lord is not as intact as in your world. The one who now inherits the title of Dragon Lord is just a powerless little child.”

At this point, Jing Yuan paused, then fell into deep thought.

"It's not that there's really no way, how about..."

After discussing with Jing Yuan, Yu Tianyi originally thought that there was at least some hope of completing the main storyline, but the sudden change quickly shattered his naive idea.

This made him realize that the difficulty of the cheat event in the main storyline was not reduced at all. Even with the help of the temporary event, the difficulty was not reduced but increased compared to the prologue.

"General of Luofu, your methods have indeed surprised me somewhat. However, people's hearts are easy to manipulate. Your every move, and even you, the Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau, are all at your disposal."

Your plans seem like a script for a stage play to me—completely self-evident.

Accompanied by a magnetic voice uttering a playful laugh, a magnificent figure, seemingly as tall as heaven and earth, at least several hundred meters high, rose from the Scale Abyss Realm. With just a slight wave of his hand, he divided the entire ancient sea in two, much like Moses parting the sea.

"I never imagined that the information Luo Fu gathered in the prologue was just false information released by Huan Long. She had long ago secretly controlled almost everyone in Luo Fu from top to bottom."

I was also limited by the plot before I transmigrated, and I never imagined that Tingyun wasn't Huanlong, but that Huanlong was Tingyun.

Yu Tianyi looked up at the terrifying divine body that was completely different from the one in the game. Just standing there made him unable to move. The divine body was as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and even dodging became a luxury.

Judging from the current situation, Huanlong in this incident is estimated to have been replaced by Huanlong a hundred years ago, or even when Tingyun was just born.

In order to avoid being discovered, he even fabricated a false personality, thus deceiving everyone in Luofu, including Taibusi.

Chapter 36 Deadlock

"To crush ants, nothing is more fitting than to bring down a star."

A voluptuous, mature woman with a sizzling blue aura emanated from her entire body. With a flick of her fingers, her dress unfurled behind her like a blooming lotus, and the clinking of the bracelets on her wrists resonated through the air, producing a crisp sound.

However, to the crowd below, this clear and melodious sound was a terrifying death knell.

Destruction - Shattered Star and Moon.

"Life and death."

The next moment, as the man slightly spread his five fingers, an orange-red sphere radiating light and heat suddenly appeared in the center of the sky, pressing against and overlapping with the artificial sun of Luofu.

"careful!"

Jing Yuan roared, and a golden divine lord quietly appeared behind him. His figure also rapidly expanded to a size of several hundred meters, just like Huanlong, and he wielded an enlarged version of the Stonefire Dream Blade, slashing towards the sky.
