[Dan Heng]: Our star ferry has deviated from its course, how is the situation at your end?
[You're alive again?]
[Dan Heng]: Yes, what's happening over there?]
[We captured Kafka, but everything went too smoothly; it feels odd.]
[Dan Heng]: What about Kafka's companion? Have you encountered 'Blade'?]
["When we captured Kafka, she was alone. What's wrong?"]
[Dan Heng: Be cautious; that person is extrely dangerous.]
[Dan Heng: I'll find an opportunity to lose the cloud rider and catch up with you.]
[Wait, what's going on over there?]
[Unlock Dan Heng's Storyline—]
As soon as this option appeared, Guinaifen clicked it without hesitation.
The last ti Sushang made her entrance was during Dan Heng's storyline. Sure enough, upon restarting this plot arc, the scene opened with Dan Heng, Sushang, and Luocha appearing together.
"Shangshang, it's your cue again!"
Sushang hastily fixed her hairstyle and sat next to Guinaifen, fully engrossed in watching the unfolding story.
"Hey, Luocha, you only told half the tale about the Star God of Propagation. Keep going—it's really intriguing. How peculiar, can Aeon gods actually die? Aren't they invincible?" Sushang asked in her clear voice.
"There is no absolute invincibility, nor eternal immortality. These are re exaggerations from a mortal perspective. However, Propagation's demise did indeed surpass human comprehension. The Aeon fell by another god's hand," Luocha replied.
"...I don't understand. If they're all Aeons, why would they fight and kill each other?"
"Are you... really from Xianzhou?! Leaving aside other Aeons, at least you should know the stories of Lan and Yaoshi, right? The Alliance's longstanding goal has been to eliminate the Star God Yaoshi!"
"Of course I know them! Well, just a bit. My mother keeps busy with sword training all day; I haven't had much formal education..."
In the live stream chatroom, Sushang instantly blushed.
Her performance thus far had been comndable; not long ago, her supervisor even sent her a ssage praising her work. They comnded her for exemplifying the Cloud Knights' spirit amidst danger!
However, as this mission progressed, she inadvertently exposed her lack of scholarly knowledge right at the start!
"Oh no, my reputation is ruined!" Sushang hesitated to glance at the chat, fearing that viewers might be flooding it with insults calling her stupid or foolish.
To her surprise!
Instead of disabling the comnts, Guinaifen randomly selected so and began reading them aloud.
"[My Shangshang exudes a pure beauty untainted by knowledge.] Ha ha ha, Little Gui here agrees completely!"
"[Sushang's eyes reveal a clear-cut stupidity]. Wait, why are you saying such blunt truths?"
"[Shangshang is so adorable]," she read aloud. "Absolutely!"
Their conversation then turned to the large box behind Luocha.
Luocha explained that it was called a "[coffin]"—commonly known as a casket—and its sole purpose was to house the deceased's remains.
Next,
the topic shifted to how Xianzhou residents t their ends.
"I heard that if Dharani live long enough—or near death from injury—they transform into pearl-like eggs and are reborn anew as infants..."
"My mother referred to Dharani as 'Dragon Descendants.' In the stories she told when I was young, all Vidyadhara could shape-shift into massive dragons. I wonder if it's true..."
Dan Heng interjected, "Only certain special Dharani can assu dragon form."
"Well, well, Mr. Mute Gourd speaks up at last."
Continuing, Dan Heng said, "...Your mother is correct. Dharani are indeed 'Dragon Descendants,' being the progeny of the Aeon Star God, [Imperishable]. Thus, there were once Dharani who could transform into dragons, but not every individual possessed this ability.
"This power is rare, passed down through nurous rituals and trials before one can inherit it. For those entrusted with it... whether it's truly fortunate is debatable."
Upon reading this, Guinaifen felt as if struck by lightning!
Even the chat montarily went silent for several seconds.
Then, Guinaifen excitedly clapped her hands and exclaid, "Case solved! Case solved!"
"Why does Dan Heng know so much about the Vidyadhara? Because his father is one of them!"
"Imbibitor Lunae defected from Xianzhou and later encountered a human woman on another planet; they fell in love and had a son nad Dan Heng!"
"Afterward, Dan Heng boarded the Astral Express, becoming The Naless traveler. During his journey, he arrived at Xianzhou Luofu, coincidentally his father's holand!"
"So when Dan Heng faced danger, his father Imbibitor Lunae ca to assist him!"
"It all fits together perfectly now!"
"Am I truly a genius, Little Gui style? We've cracked Feathered Spirit's script!"
Seeing Guinaifen's excitent, Sushang pondered seriously before nodding.
"Hmm... it makes sense!"
Guinaifen continued advancing along Dan Heng's storyline.
Following the drifting star ferry, they arrived at a secluded cave far from civilization.
As they searched for an exit,
In a secluded corner, a young girl was surrounded by Mara-Struck beings, visibly injured.
Once again, it was ti for the hero to save the damsel in distress.
"Mute Gourd, Luocha, let's charge together and swiftly take care of these guys to rescue that girl!" Sushang urged.
"Didn't you say earlier we should just leave everything to you?" Luocha teased.
"I-I can't handle them all alone! Please, once this is done, I'll award both of you with 'Bravery in Crisis' dals!"
Dan Heng chid in, "No more dawdling—let's move!"
This particular scenario featured three fixed characters: Dan Heng, Luocha, and Sushang. Among them, Luocha acted independently, deciding when to engage or heal on his own accord.
With sufficient energy:
His Ultimate skill automatically activated!
[Burial's Desire]
"The eternal slumber is not the end..."
In the accompanying illustration, Luocha leaned against a coffin, seated beside a small pond filled with white flowers—a serene and graceful scene.
The Ultimate skill unleashed!
"The departed shall return!"
Luocha positioned the coffin upright before him. Streams of green, ghostly luminescence erged from every corner of the coffin, attacking all enemies. As they converged at the top,
The coffin's phantom image descended like a colossal sword from the sky.
Instantly, the ginkgo leaf effects on both Mara-Struck figures disappeared.
Guinaifen showed a sudden realization. "Luocha's ultimate is a group attack and can dispel enemy buffs."
"These Mara-Struck enemies won't be able to resurrect now!"
After releasing his ultimate ability,
another power of Luocha was triggered:
Rotating Breath of Life
"What has been taken shall be returned!"
He thrust his slender blade into the ground.
A flower-shaped emblem blood.
A luminous band with intricate patterns ford around the battlefield.
From this point forward, each subsequent attack would restore so health!
After one full round,
three mbers of the team were fully healed!
As Guinaifen prepared to deliver the final blows to these monsters,
Sushang scooted her chair closer and murmured:
"Could it be that inside Luocha's coffin, there's a whole collection of 'Deceased' souls?"
"He looks so well-dressed; surely he doesn't have a penchant for gathering such things?"
Guinaifen shrugged, "You'll have to ask your character from the storyline for that answer."
anwhile, in the stream's chatroom:
As viewers witnessed Luocha's abilities and chanics, their excitent surged instantly!
"Wow, all Mara-Struck revivals are countered by this Luocha—what a ga-changer!"
"Suddenly, Natasha doesn't seem as appealing anymore."
"A noble healer... I an, male support character! Definitely gotta try my luck on this one!"
"I want to roll for every character we encounter, but my wallet can't handle it at all!"
