The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Okay, let's put aside the reminiscing about the past for now."

"Jing Yuan interrupted a few people's conversation."

"When you arrived in Luofu, you said the train group was coming to resolve the Star Core Catastrophic Incident. Jing Yuan didn't dare agree then, suspecting the Star Core Hunters of other motives. Now it seems I was overly concerned."

"It's true that the Star Core Hunter has a plan. Haha, she sent you all here to deliberately escalate the situation so that you can fight alongside the Immortal Boat..."

"At this point, your sincerity is beyond doubt. Luofu owes you a debt of gratitude and should not ask for anything more."

"Well, when General Jingyuan said this, Xinghe Sanyueqi was shocked and felt like he was being used as a tool."

"Xing and the others are really miserable. Whether it's Yaliluo No. 6 or this immortal boat, they are all helping in various ways..."

"If you ask me, they're too self-aware. As soon as Jing Yuan finished speaking, they already thought about being tools. Who would be willing to not use such a useful tool?"

Although there has never been such a term as "tool man" before, it is Chinese after all, and they understood its meaning after a little understanding.

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Yes, how could anyone not use such a useful tool?

I just don’t know why Xing and the others are so willing to be tools?

(When the wish is strong enough, the gods will cast their gaze over you, forming an exclamation mark above your head, and then you can sit and wait for a silly kid who likes to rummage through garbage cans to come and help you fulfill your wish.)

"Even if the Luofu crisis has nothing to do with the star core, I won't sit idly by. But my will alone cannot represent the Star Train."

"It is foreseeable that the enemy we are about to face will be far more dangerous than any we have ever encountered. Perhaps... there will be life-threatening danger."

"Whether moving forward or leaving, the destination of the Nameless Traveler should be chosen by themselves, just like the vote they cast when deciding their destination on the train."

Walter looked at Xing and Sanyueqi solemnly.

"He won't make decisions for Xing and March 7, because everyone needs to be responsible for their own life."

"So, he sincerely hopes that Xinghe Sanyueqi can make a decision that he won't regret."

"However, both Xing and Sanyueqi had already made their decision on the train."

"They both extended their hands toward Danheng."

"Dan Heng didn't even think twice before extending his hand."

(We are a team of three!)

"Thank you, Danheng." Jingyuan smiled.

"I'm not standing here as an unknown visitor," Dan Heng said, shaking his head. "Because of this journey, I'm at the mercy of others and have no freedom... But as a descendant of the Vajra Master, I will fulfill my responsibilities to Luofu."

"Well, everyone's just as clear-minded as when we first arrived." March Seventh put his hands on his hips and said, "So, what's the next plan, General?"

"There's no clever plan, only a gamble. Bet on Elder Chiming's ability to partially shed scales, and on Dan Heng being able to regain Dragon Lord's memories..."

"Even though he said that, Jing Yuan still had a smile that showed that everything was under control."

"Gambling? I don't think Jing Yuan is a gambling person."

"He only uses this to trick girls like March. He calls it gambling, but in reality, it's a sure thing."

Han Xin chuckled.

Gambling? No one would believe it!

"Indeed, judging from the way he handles things, he is not the kind of general who likes to take unconventional measures." "What's more, Dan Heng has already revealed his true form as Dragon Lord. He is probably only one step away from regaining his memories of his past life." Zhang Liang said.

Liu Bang touched his chin and chuckled.

"It seems that the reason why Ren fought Dan Heng earlier and made Dan Heng reveal his true form was for this purpose. These Star Core Hunters are really interesting. Everything they do has a deep meaning. It's like playing Go. You can't see the meaning of one or two moves at first, but after playing more, you can see the deeper meaning of those one or two moves."

"Dragon Lord?" Sanyueqi looked confused.

"Her expression right now is like that of a supporting character in a novel who suddenly discovers that their best friend who plays Genshin Impact with them all the time in the internet cafe is actually the reincarnation of an immortal!"

"Though Jianmu was severed by the Emperor's Bow Siming, a small remnant of the curse of the Plague Ancestor remained." Jing Yuan turned to look at the dragon statue in the center of the Xianlong Dayu Hall. "To seal it, Luofu invoked the power of the immortal dragon descendants, making it possible to tame the remains of Jianmu."

"Several people followed Jing Yuan's gaze and saw the huge dragon statue in the center of the hall, pointing a spear to the sky, showing arrogance."

"Under the guidance of the ancient Dragon Lord, the Chiming Clan channeled the waters of the Ancient Sea to flood the Scaled Abyss Realm Cave Heaven, using it as a container to seal the Jianmu tree. To commemorate this feat and sacrifice, the Immortal Boat Alliance erected the Xianlong Dayu Monument within the Chiming Clan's Xianlong Dayu Hall, along with a statue of the Chiming Dragon Lord."

"As Jing Yuan explained, the group slowly walked towards the statue."

"Only when they got closer did they realize that the statue looked exactly like Dan Heng!"

"Hiss! Could it be..." Cheng Yaojin shouted as if he had discovered some great secret: "Could it be that all the Dragon Lords of all generations are Dan Heng?"

Li Shimin: "After all, the Chiming people can reincarnate and be reborn. Is this strange?"

Whenever this happened, Li Shimin hated himself for being too smart and unable to understand Cheng Yaojin's thought process.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant." Cheng Yaojin waved his hands quickly. "What I meant was, Dan Heng has been here as the Dragon Lord for who knows how many thousands or tens of thousands of years... No wonder he ran away after getting into trouble. No one can stand working over and over again for so many years and not being allowed to retire!"

Li Shimin: "???"

Changsun Wuji: “???”

Fang Xuanling: “???”

The way you think about it... you're really a genius!

But then again, this does make sense. No one can withstand working repeatedly for such a long time!

…………

"This statue looks like Dan Heng. Could it be..." March Seventh began to unleash his astonishing wisdom.

"The man on the statue is... Danheng's brother!"

"Everyone was speechless. Even Xing felt that San Yue Qi was superior in terms of intelligence."

"Is she really a genius?"

"Ha, only slightly similar." Jing Yuan laughed.

"If you must say, the appearance of each Dragon Lord has remained largely the same throughout the generations—except for the current generation. The current successor to the Vajra Dragon Lord is merely a child who inherited the name and hasn't inherited all of the power."

"Dan Heng, do you understand? After Dan Feng's death, there is no one left in Luofu who can handle this matter. You, who once watched over Jianmu, should be able to open the way to Jianmu for us."
