Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

June 8, 8072

Luofu Immortal Boat, Taibu Si

Since the outbreak of the Third War of Plenty, the Lov Tabuan has transformed from a quiet place into a bustling hub of activity.

In the past, all that was needed was to submit the daily divination results to the Shence Palace.

But nowadays, people from various departments come and go almost every moment, coming to communicate and seek the divination results they want.

Some diviners, having not rested for many days and being overworked, went directly to the Luofu Danding Bureau.

Inside one of the rooms, there was none of the bustling noise found elsewhere.

Only the divination arrays were running automatically.

A girl with a pink flying bun and a golden hairpin in her hair lay on the array, her eyes closed and her breathing even, looking as if she were asleep.

The once clean and tidy purple dress now has some wrinkles due to its owner's many days of hard work.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl woke up from her sleep, her eyes still blurry as she looked at the divination array before her, and immediately became fully awake.

"I fell asleep?! Wait, what were the divination results?"

She got up and saw that the divination array was still running automatically, and the progress bar showed that the calculation had reached 98%.

"The results aren't out yet..." She slowly sat back down in her chair, patting her face to try and clear her head.

The result... was the result that she, many people from the Taibu Si, and countless other people from the Immortal Ship were waiting for.

Now, we only need a few more minutes to get the results.

Her heart pounded with anxiety; the lives of countless people hung in the balance right before her eyes.

I have been tasked with divination regarding the situation on the Fanghu battlefield for a month now, and it is finally coming to an end.

Taking advantage of this moment, she glanced at her jade tablet.

I slept for less than two hours, but thankfully it didn't interfere with the divination.

There was also a message from General Jing Yuan of Luofu: "Miss Fu, have the divination results been released yet?"

She took a deep breath, watched the progress bar jump slightly, and replied, "99%, one or two more minutes."

Fu Xuan casually picked up the Star Taro Boba Tea from the table. He had bought it last night, and it was now completely cold.

She bit her straw, her eyes still fixed on the progress bar of the divination array.

She didn't even realize when she bit the straw until it was deformed.

As a result, she found that the taro boba in her mouth was so scarce and not as sweet as she remembered.

On the contrary, it was filled with bitterness.

With a "ding", the progress bar finally reached 100%.

She quickly stood up, threw the Star Taro Boba Tea on the ground, and began manipulating the array with both hands, watching the deduction results intently.

A moment later, the girl's face turned deathly pale, and even the red light of the array could not add any color to her complexion.

Looking at the divination results, Fu Xuan murmured, "If we fight with all our might, any participating immortal ship army will suffer a crushing defeat."

How could this be... Three immortal ships participated in the battle, why did they suffer such a crushing defeat...?

Besides the Fanghu Immortal Ship, the fleets of the Luofu and Yuque Immortal Ships have also arrived at the battlefield.

Even after a month of traveling at full speed, the Yaoqing Immortal Ship will still need another month to arrive.

Interstellar travel is often measured in months or even years, so a month is really not a long time.

But Fanghu, is there really still a month left?

Why were the three immortal boats unable to defeat the Fengrao Minlian Army even when they joined forces?

Filled with doubt and fear, she continued watching and tried to deduce the scenario again.

Finally, an extra line of text appeared on the formation.

"If we hold on, there will be room for maneuver."

After repeated deductions, the answer to the Qiong Guan Formation remained unchanged.

A turning point? Will perseverance bring about a turning point?

Fu Xuan wrote all of this down on paper, explaining the pros and cons, and then rushed out of the room with the divination results, ignoring everyone's calls.

She arrived at the Shence Mansion, panting, and handed the results to General Jing Yuan of Luofu.

"General, we must hold our ground and not attack."

She only said this one sentence.

Exhausted, Jing Yuan nodded and then handed the document to the other Imperial Bow Generals to hold a meeting of the Six Emperors.

An hour later, Jing Yuan walked out of the room and looked at Fu Xuan, who had been waiting for a long time.

He said softly, "Seven days ago, General Qi Tian concluded that we cannot really wait in vain."

The combined forces of the Fengrao People's Army, numbering over ten million, were terrifying. The Cloud Cavalry fleets of Luofu and Yuque had to engage them to buy time for the Yaoqing Fleet to arrive.

Yao Qing's vanguard, led by the rising star Commander Lin Yuan, will arrive before the main force.

Perhaps he can bring about a turning point, perhaps he can't.

“But an attack would result in a crushing defeat.” Fu Xuan raised his head, looking expressionlessly at the tall Jing Yuan. “This is the answer from Qiong Guan Zhen.”

Standing at less than 1.4 meters tall, the height difference between her and Jing Yuan, who is 1.9 meters tall, is simply too great.

"Miss Fu, if we don't engage them, the Fanghu Immortal Ship will be destroyed."

Jing Yuan showed no dissatisfaction with Fu Xuan's words and remained patient. Perhaps, compared to many things, Fu Xuan's divination was the most satisfying thing for him.

"There might still be a sliver of a chance if we launch an attack."

Fu Xuan remained silent for a long time before turning and leaving: "I will continue to deduce and search for a chance of survival."

Jing Yuan did not believe it, or rather, none of the Seven Heavenly Generals dared to entrust the lives of hundreds of billions of Fanghu people to the Qiong Guan Formation.

The cold formation dictates the word "hold firm," and to achieve this, the blood of millions may be needed.

She, too, did not believe in fate, such an ethereal and elusive concept.

From the day she was born, the diviners of the Fu clan had already seen her future.

"Fu Xuan, you will become the new Grand Diviner, leading my Fu clan to new glory!"

With such expectations, the Grand Diviner Jingtian of the Jade Palace accepted her as his disciple.

Jingtian treated her very well; their relationship was that of mentor and friend, and they often discussed all sorts of issues.

But later, she learned why Jingtian had taken her as his disciple.

“Fu Xuan, I have already foreseen this. One day, you will kill me with your own hands, take my place, and become the new Grand Diviner. That is why I want to take you as my disciple.”

Killing her master?! Fu Xuan's face turned pale instantly. She actually wanted to kill Jing Tian with her own hands?!

"No...impossible! Why would I kill you! I don't believe it!"

“Fu Xuan, fate cannot be changed. I have already sacrificed one of my arms to reach this conclusion.”

But I still failed; I couldn't change my fate.

"I don't believe it! Teacher, you've fallen into the trap of fatalism."

If everything is predetermined, then why should we make choices? Why not just leave everything to divination?!

The argument between the two ended with her leaving the Jade Palace and exiling herself to Luofu.

She came to Tabuan in the hope that one day she would prove that destiny is not immutable.

Moreover, she didn't want to kill her teacher.

She returned to the divination office, walked to the Qiong Guan Zhen (穷观阵) and once again devoted all her energy to divination.

She had to find a way out for the Immortal Boat Alliance.

She must avoid that crumbling destiny!

After a long while, Fu Xuan's beautiful eyes, which were like purple gemstones, lost their luster.

She stared blankly at the Qiong Guan Formation and whispered, "The Yao Qing Immortal Boat, you will bring a turning point, won't you?"
