Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

The two walked together to a secluded spot, and then Yu Tianyi spoke directly while keeping a close eye on the other person, ready to summon a powerful spirit to bless him at any moment.

"My arrival is not malicious. I have come to explore some strange sights I experienced in my dream. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

The masked person turned around and said in a cold tone.

Chapter 38 Initial Signs of Change

"Burning, falling, but without a cry, calmly heading towards death. From this weeping stone I dreamt of destruction, the place where that scene took place."

It wasn't until the person spoke that Yu Tianyi realized this mysterious person was a woman.

His long robe completely concealed his body, and the mask on his face made it impossible to discern his true appearance. As for his long, gray hair, long hair is quite common among men in various civilizations.

She extended her hands from her robe, and the tiny weeping stones in her palms came into Yu Tianyi's view.

The Weeping Stones of Sorrow and Glory are like pearls born from a planet reduced to ashes, bearing the marks of sorrow. The ghosts of the past condense into rain clouds, sending down these teardrop-like crystals.

Originally intended to allow dreamers to experience the prosperity of civilization's past, this mysterious woman's words revealed a vision of impending doom.

Her description immediately made Yu Tianyi think of a certain possibility, but he was not sure if it was the same thing he was thinking about.

"If it really was an event I experienced, it could only be a revelation from Chang Le Tian Jun (the Star God of Joy)."

Even in the records before the transmigration, the Star God of Joy, Aha, was incredibly mysterious. Among the many Star Gods, he is currently the only one who knows his true identity in the simulated universe, and his strength is terrifying.

"What you're saying doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Immortal Ship."

Several thoughts flashed through Yu Tianyi's mind, but on the surface he calmly continued to speak.

"And when did you, mourner, come to believe in the power of joy?"

From the moment the Sorrowful Stone appeared in her hands, Tianyi no longer needed to guess her identity. Only a mourner would cherish and collect such mysterious stones from the aftermath of a world's destruction.

They treat the prosperity they present as a test of their own arduous cultivation, just as the saying goes, "All the joy in my dreams makes me feel heartbroken."

Upon hearing Yu Tianyi's words, the woman did not answer directly, but instead clasped her hands together and gripped the weeping stones tightly.

“My name is Ji You. I will be staying in Luofu for a while. Please don’t mind.”

"I cannot make decisions about receiving distinguished guests, Ms. Ji You."

Yu Tianyi did not respond. His real identity was merely a craftsman in the Imperial Workshop, and he obviously had no right to decide the fate of someone who came with unknown purpose, or even someone who might be an envoy of pleasure.

However, the other party did not say anything more, but simply put his hands back into his robe, and then his whole figure disappeared like an illusion.

They left? When?

He was immediately startled, realizing that his senses hadn't detected anything that had happened.

"What a strange woman. I feel like I've sensed that method of disappearing somewhere before."

After investigating for a while, Yu Tianyi confirmed that the other party was not using any illusion and had really left long ago, so he did not linger there any longer.

The original intention to relax was also lost because of Ji You's appearance.

In the game content before Yu Tianyi's transmigration, there was never any mention of the Luofu Immortal Ship visiting this mourning musician. Not only was there no mention of it, but even the information about the mourning musician was pitifully scarce.

Perhaps more details will be added later, but he won't see it.

So if this person hadn't appeared in the original story, but hadn't come and gone quietly, he wouldn't have been recorded by Luofu.

Or perhaps she was indeed discovered, but the recorded information is not within the player's reach.

Another possibility, and the most likely one, is that she never actually came to Luofu before, but rather that she was brought here due to the butterfly effect caused by Yu Tianyi's time travel.

"If that's the case, is it due to my own actions, or has the cheating issue been discovered?"

After returning home, Yu Tianyi sat on a wooden chair in deep thought. However, the information he had was extremely limited; he didn't even know if the name Ji You had given was his real name.

Determining the meaning of those words is even more difficult, practically impossible.

"It seems we can only wait and see for now. I will never give up on cheating because of a few bad experiences, so even if there are risks, I will continue like this."

Without much thought, Yu Tianyi knew that his cheat was his greatest asset. Let alone a mourning actor, even if Aha appeared in front of him and asked him to give up... well, it seemed he really would have to give up.

After all, the boost brought about by the event made it impossible for him to hide the reality of his consumed attempts, and it would obviously take no effort for the Star God to crush a weakling like him.

"Wait, there's more than just me around. The Cloud Cavalry, who are half protecting and half monitoring me, don't seem to have found any trace of Ji You either."

He suddenly frowned, recalling the strangeness of his conversation with the mysterious woman earlier.

"And that method of disappearing, I see. No wonder it seemed so familiar. I had a feeling about it when I read 'The Emperor's Bow and Fate.' This is the pheromone manipulation brought about by the illusion magic of the fox people."

However, simple fox-person illusions obviously couldn't have produced such a performance; there must have been an external force involved. As for whether it was the power of technology or the blessing of joy, that was beyond Yu Tianyi's current knowledge.

"Tell Kagami about the situation here; the others are more likely to have problems."

Yu Tianyi thought for a moment, then simply took out the jade tablet and sent a simple message to his own Jingliu, without even explaining what had happened.

However, this was a private signal agreed upon by him and Jingliu in their early years. At that time, it was mainly used in the Cloud Cavalry Army for emergencies and to confirm whether he had been possessed by Suiyang.

Later, its function gradually became a notification when something important happened between the two.

"I will be right back."

Less than two seconds later, Jingliu's avatar trembled, and then a message popped up.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tianyi could almost picture the other person's calm yet sharp expression.

"She seems to have misunderstood something. Never mind, let's explain in detail when she gets back."

He rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the various events and circumstances that had unfolded.

So after thinking for a while, he decisively opened the plug-in panel and used up the events that had just been restored.

"It's still these three temporary events. Unless my luck is exceptionally good, the temporary events in this instance should be fixed."

Looking at the three options in front of him that were no different from before, Yu Tianyi considered it briefly this time and chose another temporary event—'Visitor from Outer Space'.

This is an event that could bring in forces that wouldn't normally participate, which perfectly aligns with his desire to break the deadlock.

"I just don't know how this so-called visitor from outer space will be presented in the chapters."

PS:

Tomorrow is the final, and I suddenly have a feeling that disaster is about to strike.

I dreamt about WBG losing a few days ago. It was so ridiculous, I couldn't even imagine how they could win.

Chapter 39 Extraterrestrial Visitors

"It looks no different from the last incident."

Yu Tianyi jumped off the newly produced Star Raft and arrived at Chang Le Tian with ease. He looked around but found nothing unusual.

This time, the event was not a proactive one like predicting the future; it took effect automatically once the timer started, so even Yu Tianyi himself didn't know what would happen.

This randomness is indeed a bit awkward; he has no control over any aspect of it, but that is precisely the key to breaking the deadlock he seeks.

Since there were no more unforeseen events, he didn't try to contact Fu Xuan or meet Jing Yuan. Instead, after confirming that the other party was acting the same way as in the previous incident, he went to the Star Chariot Sea Central Hub.

Normally, that's the first place that travelers from outside the Immortal Ship arrive at; if it's a normal visit, they can't avoid it.

Of course, Yu Tianyi didn't know what form this random force would take, otherwise he wouldn't have to run back and forth like this.

"That's the awkward part. If I act rashly, this temporary event might end before it's even triggered, but if I do nothing, problems might arise later."

After much deliberation, he decided to wait and see. After all, this was the first time he had used this temporary event involving an extraterrestrial visitor, and the first thing he needed to consider was observing its characteristics.

Wasting an opportunity to figure out the mechanism of extraterrestrial visitors is still a worthwhile trade.

While Yu Tianyi was waiting for the event to unfold, something interesting happened in the Chang Le Tian Cave he had just left.

"Shangshang, you look a little different today."

On the streets of Changletian, Gui Naifen looked at Li Sushang, who had suddenly grown taller and exuded a certain profound aura, and asked her with some curiosity.

"Shangshang? I am Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect. Please give me your guidance. May I ask where this place is, artist?"

"?"

Gui Naifen stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of her. After a while, she realized that this person did not seem to be the Yunqi Sushang she knew.

“I’m sorry, I may have mistaken you for someone else. My name is Guinevere, or you can call me by my fairy boat name, Gui Naifen. Gui means fine tree, Nai means ‘is,’ and Fen means fragrance.”

As for this place, this is Chang Le Tian in Luofu. Is Su Chang lost?

"Oh, Gui Naifen, then I'll call you Little Gui. I was practicing swordsmanship with my grandmaster when, unexpectedly, as I left the courtyard, I suddenly appeared in a side alley by the street."

Li Sushang explained why she had appeared, then looked up at the starships flying overhead and the surrounding buildings, which were similar in style to those in her memory but were clearly more futuristic, and felt somewhat lost.

Did I accidentally get caught up in some kind of bubble world?

Feeling that his internal energy (Honkai energy) was still functioning and usable normally, he felt somewhat relieved and decided to learn about this world from the red-haired girl in front of him.

"Ah, I'm not a big shot on the Immortal Ship, so I really have no clue about these things. Maybe I should contact someone... but it seems that's unnecessary, she's here. Changchang, over here!"

Gui Naifen was also quite bewildered by the situation, but fortunately, her dilemma did not last long. She caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye and immediately beckoned Su Chang over.

"Little Gui, what's the rush? Wait! Who are you?"

Su Chang didn't feel anything at first, but felt that the woman's back was somewhat familiar to Gui Naifen, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before. It wasn't until she got closer and saw that the woman's face was almost identical to her own that her mind went blank.

"Huh?! Is this what the professor and the others were talking about, that there's another version of yourself in different timelines?"

Li Sushang wasn't particularly surprised, since she had heard about this from the two doctors after the final battle.

Besides, having seen many people who look alike (the Herrscher of Knowledge, Seele: ?), she didn't find it strange at all.

But Su Chang was different. She was just a newbie who had only recently arrived in Luofu from the Yaoqing Immortal Ship. Her experience and strength were far inferior to Li Su Chang's. She was stunned for several minutes before gradually regaining her composure.

"What kind of demon are you, and why have you transformed into my appearance? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame my Xuanyuan Sword for being impolite."
