Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility

I have to say that Jingliu, Jingyuan and Luosha are good drinkers, or even very good. They are much better than that drunk fox. Their alcohol tolerance is also bottomless. They can drink a lot without even turning red in the face.

After getting drunk, Lu Qing asked, "That guy Ren is still working for me building engines. How about I call him over now so we can have a drink together? It's a pity I don't have the coordinates of the Star Train, otherwise I could just go and lure him over."

With a bang, Jing Liu slammed his wine glass onto the table. "Don't mention those two bastards to me... If it weren't for them, there wouldn't be so many problems. Without them, Bai Heng could leave as a hero, and I could stay in peace in the Ten Kings Division..."

It seems that drinking does have some effects. Jingliu was accusing the two troublemakers. Although Jingliu looked cold, he actually seemed to be a bit of a chatterbox. He either didn't speak or spoke a lot when he spoke.

"How many years has it been? Do you still remember?" asked Qing.

Jing Yuan filled Jing Liu's glass and listened quietly to her story, talking about what she had experienced over the years. He was quite worried.

Jingliu drank the wine in one gulp, and glared at Rangqing fiercely from under the black veil to express his dissatisfaction.

"I can't forget it. I will never forget it... I can't understand why they would rather break the taboo to revive Bai Heng... I couldn't understand it before, and I can't understand it now."

"The views on life and death of the Short-lived and the Vajra Clan are different from those of the Immortal Boat people, right?"

"The concept of life and death, Jingliu is just a soldier, I don't understand..."

"Why do you say you don't understand when you are indifferent to life and death?" The drinking table of the Xianzhou people is like this. As long as the men get drunk, they will talk about everything without any taboos, from national affairs and life views to trivial matters.

Although Jingliu is not a man...

"Let me tell you, by then you'd already be a thousand years old. Life or death wouldn't matter anymore... You were the Sword Master, the most powerful person in Luofu besides the general at the time. You had no choice but to die heroically in battle, or meet a tragic end at the hands of a demonic body..."

"This kind of thinking influenced you, so you felt that Bai Heng, as the hero who ended the Shuhu Rebellion, was incomparably honored even after his death... It's a matter of smoke rising from your ancestral grave."

"What's the point of saying this now? Besides, if you have the time to enlighten me here, you might as well enlighten those two bastards."

Jingyuan and Luosha looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to comfort you. I'm just expressing my opinion as a bystander. You can't control me..."

"Yes, I can't control you... and how old are you? Do you know so much about what happened at that time? Have you seen it?" The self-confidence of Qing Qing who felt that he knew everything that happened at that time made her very disgusted, especially disgusted.

"Fractions of your fractions."

"?"

"I won't talk about age to irritate you. Don't interrupt me and just listen to what I have to say." Lu Qing didn't expect that his words would make Jing Liu let go of something. He just wanted to know what Jing Liu would say and do after looking at the Yinyue Rebellion from another perspective.

"Hehe..." Jing Liu continued to guzzle the wine that Jing Yuan poured for her. She couldn't remember how much she had drunk. Anyway, as long as she finished, Jing Yuan would fill her glass again. Seven hundred years ago, she didn't think that this kid was so filial to her, right?

"Ying Xing is a short-lived person. The time spent with the Five Heroes of the Clouds was a brief moment of happiness for you, but for Ying Xing it was probably half his life. I remember his hair was all white back then. He looked young only because of the anti-aging elixir from the Dan Ding Division, right?"

"Jingliu, think about it. If a friend who had been with you since Cangcheng, who had survived every crisis and grown up with you, who had been with you for hundreds of years and was almost like a family member, passed away, how would you feel?"

"Although I don't know what methods you used to help me suppress the demonic Yin, I know that without your suppression, what you just said would be enough to make me lose control... Forget it, I don't need this eyepatch anymore."

Jingliu took off his blindfold, and his blood-red eyes stared at Rangqing unkindly, with murderous intent growing thicker.

However, she still chose to follow Lu Qing's thoughts and hypothesize such a situation... In that case, she might instantly fall into the devil's Yin. As for what the devil's Yin would do next? Perhaps it was obvious.

Qing was completely unaware of Jingliu's mood. Right now, Jingliu was just a crazy woman. Why bother caring about her emotions? Even if he cared, it wouldn't have any effect. He had to be forceful.

"As for Dan Feng, that's even easier to understand. In the Chiming Clan, every death is a loss, and the loss of any life is unacceptable—besides, he's the aloof and proud Dragon Lord.

Lonely, so lonely that you four are the only friends you have. Arrogant, so arrogant that you think you can definitely resurrect Bai Heng by using the magic of dragon transformation... and then you fall apart."

Dan Feng, Lu Qing didn't know what he was thinking when he resurrected Bai Heng, but as the Dragon Lord who could suppress the dragon masters and make them unable to raise their heads, he would never be the kind of person who would let his emotions overwhelm his rationality.

Compared to Ying Xing's pure desire to resurrect Bai Heng, Dan Feng's desire to continue the Chiming clan is more or less mixed.

"So what do you want to say? Even if I knew this, my thoughts wouldn't change at all."

"What I want to say is that the five of you are a microcosm of that era, enough to represent the five people in the Xianzhou Alliance: the young Xianzhou people, the Xianzhou people who are about to become demonic, the outsiders, the Chiming people, the fox people... you all come from different Xianzhous and different races, and you have gathered together."

The Xianzhou Alliance was a civilization formed by the intermingling of different races. While seemingly thriving, in reality, hidden dangers lurked within the alliance, hidden dangers that could not be eliminated. If these hidden dangers were not addressed, they would inevitably crumble like the Five Heroes of the Cloud...

The difference in life expectancy has always hindered the complete integration between races.

Differences, irreconcilable differences... The existence of differences is inevitable. If we cannot seek common ground while reserving differences, all it takes is a fuse for collapse.

In fact, the reason why Lu Qing thought so much was because he was dissatisfied with the mission of Jingliu's companions. It was obviously a profound story that could imply the background of the times... Why did he act like he was "love-brained" when narrating the story?

"A fateful acquaintance... a brief period of happiness, followed by an eventual disintegration—typical of the times, an inevitable progression."

"fatalism?"

"This is not fatalism, this is materialism..."
