The answer is undoubtedly yes.

Furthermore, Jingyuan sent him a text message after reporting the time of death at Nissō Paradise, reminding him to take over the general's position.

That proves that he probably worked for 800 years and wanted to quit. Or maybe he saw how comfortable his second master was after resigning, and then realized that he had worked for 800 years and hadn't retired yet, while this guy had retired after only two and a half years and was living such a comfortable life.

Feeling resentful, he used Thunderclap to feign death.

Or rather, it was a test for him, the new general.

In this letter, he directly wrote that Jing Yuan had died and disappeared, which indirectly indicated that he was capable of taking over the position.

This also serves as a reminder to those above that it's already a good thing that Luofu isn't in internal chaos right now. Don't expect Luofu to get involved in other matters.

In the past year, Luo Fu fought Huanlong, then Fenfeng, then Hulei, then Bird King, then Iron Tomb, and finally the two former generals put on a show of acting before committing suicide.

He even suspected that his matching mechanism might have affected Luofu.

Fu Xuan read through Yan Qing's reply record. The beginning was quite normal, but then she suddenly wrote that Jing Yuan had died and his Dao had vanished, which almost made her laugh.

"Yanqing, I'm asking you, what was the meaning behind your reply?"

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then began to wonder if Fu Xuan had a screw loose.

His second master could roam freely because his first master was at home.

He was able to go out and have fun before because his master was still at home.

Now that Jing Yuan has faked his death and left, all that's left at home is Fu Xuan and 300 Luofu beasts.

Can he trust them? Of course he can't. Why not? All of this combined, let alone a single sword strike from him, even a single energy-leaking attack would create a spiraling shockwave. There's absolutely no sense of security.

He had sparred with Jing Yuan before, and at least he could exchange blows with the Divine Lord and withstand a punch from Jing Yuan.

Thinking about this, he realized a problem: Is there a curse of military discontinuity in Luofu?

When Jing Yuan was around, there was a shortage of capable fighters. They finally got a second master, but he only managed to withstand the curse for two and a half years.

Now it's his turn. He's indeed stronger, but when he looks down, there's still a lack of talent.

He felt that Luofu had some merit.

"That's exactly what I mean. Why should we interfere in the internal affairs of the alliance? My second master said that the entire Void Mausoleum is attacked by an army of undead piloting golden figures, so there will be no casualties. As for Fang Hu... I have nothing to say to those dragon masters. And I have even less to say to that dismissed dragon lord."

Only after he took this position did he realize how difficult it was to hold. He was afraid that Luofu might suddenly explode one day.

That's not what I meant.

"What does the diviner mean?"

"What I mean is, who said Jing Yuan died and vanished? Do you really believe that report?"

“I don’t believe it, but I believe the general must have his reasons for choosing to let go.”

Star Train —

"The program effect... the program effect is indeed not very good."

"But if I had to choose between losing the show's entertainment value and becoming outdated, I'd rather lose the entertainment value. I don't want to end up dying four or five times, becoming Old Yang by the end. Wouldn't that ruin my persona?"

"No, it seems my persona is actually quite casual."

March 7th looked completely bewildered. "Uncle Yang...did you ever die? Wasn't it you who was faking your death all along?"

Walter interrupted with a serious cough: "Ahem—! Don't talk about that."

Ryusuke's hand trembled as he held the glass of water. He couldn't understand it. Was death a common occurrence on trains?

What are fourth-degree death and fifth-degree death?

He even felt that the gray-haired little brat who had initially tried to pull him into the financial world was now sitting on the sofa and seemed kind and approachable.

There wasn't a single human on the train. He figured Himeko must have some tricks up her sleeve to get her daughter into this navigator position.

Hoshi stood to the side; she had noticed Ryusuke's frail body from the very beginning.

Just as she was about to use the mod to enchant Himeko's old, broken father, Hua Wu casually nudged her lower back.

"oops--"

Immediately, Hua Wu's voice appeared in her mind: "Don't move, don't mess around."

Xing nodded helplessly. It was indeed a bit impolite to use a cheat engine on someone else's father in this setting.

Qiong sat on the sofa, the character on her phone already dead.

He was planning to fry them again tomorrow, but now it seems like it won't be easy to fry them.

The section about the fried fish and the raft, especially 100 years later, still has some great edits.

Now, when he's playing games and exchanging heated banter with the opposing team, he doesn't dare to openly say, "I have no parents, I'm an orphan!"

He used to criticize people relentlessly, never defending himself; he was unparalleled in the world.

Now, those who criticize others are burdened with the responsibilities of their families, making their lives extremely difficult.

Epilogue 13 (Bonus Chapter)

Eight days later—Star Train

"Hey, Lao Sha? Where have you been making your fortune lately? Has the investment department made any investments recently?"

"What? You guys invested a Qiong Coin? Why is it in my name? Are you sure anyone will buy this coin?"

"What do you mean I sold very well? What are you up to? Why don't you issue your own currency? You did? Sold poorly? And you're in debt? What happened to your luck? Aren't you supposed to win every bet?"

"What do you mean by saying that **investment isn't gambling? Isn't your reputation for always winning at gambling just a reflection of your high luck?"

"You've been having a run of bad luck lately? Are you kidding me? After the company crashed, shouldn't your luck have received an epic buff? Why were you nerfed instead? Shouldn't your passive ability be that the more people die, the better your luck becomes?"

"Did I go too far? Then let me change the subject."

"Isn't your strategic investment department supposed to be collecting debts? Why are you getting involved in cryptocurrency?"

"Because the company crashed, some data was lost, and the accounts can't be found, so they're not accepting payments? Haha, now the investment department is truly committed."

Qiong was out of options. He was still planning to collect some rent, but the Sand Gold Tiger had fallen into a trap and made a huge mess.

But Qiong didn't know that the luck of Sand Gold was actually related to order, except that now, not only order, but even harmony had been deleted.

Simin and Yinxin are still playing "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl" in the sea.

"咚咚-"

After the knocking, Xing's slightly languid voice came through.

"Brother, Mom and Dad have run away again. We're doomed."

Qiong opened the door with a blank look on her face. "Well, so what if they leave? What does it have to do with us? What do you mean we're doomed?"

"Because after the two of them left, didn't Uncle Yang go home to visit his family a couple of days ago? Didn't Bai E go back to see Huang Jinyi yesterday? And Dan Heng went to Luofu to see the Jianmu seal the day before yesterday."

Qiong looked puzzled. "And then? Isn't it just the two of us, Sanyue, and Mimi? Himeko-nee is here too, isn't she? Where's the doom?"

"Yes, that's the problem. I suspect that Sister Himeko has no sense of taste. Although Dad's cooking is a bit shiny and the ingredients are a bit strange, and it looks like a toilet, at least it's still edible."

"Himeko's cooking is absolutely inedible. Her cooking is the kind that looks amazing, but it's a complete disaster once you taste it."

Qiong sighed, finding Xing's exaggerated reaction amusing. "I thought it was something serious. Where's Pam? Doesn't the train conductor know how to cook? Just send the conductor."

"The train conductor... fell asleep while tasting the food."

Qiong: ?

"Isn't the kitchen the conductor's private domain? How did Himeko-nee get in there?"

"Himeko's coffee machine is there too... There's no way around it, even if you're the strongest in the universe, you still have to eat breakfast at home."

"Ha, who's the strongest in the universe? I'm not the strongest in the universe."

"Then you definitely need to eat it."

Qiong sensed something was amiss; he had no magic resistance. "Mimi! Where is she?"

Xing gave Qiong a resigned look and said, "You mean Xi Lian? I saw her painting in the hall. She's probably the first one to get it."

What about March?

"Well, you two are quite similar in this respect. She's probably still half asleep, just like you."

Qiong suddenly realized something was wrong. Couldn't Xing directly rewrite molecular structures and then change the taste of the dish and the ingredients themselves? Where did this go wrong?

"Can't you modify the molecular structure of vegetables? Can't you do it yourself?"

"Yes, so I wanted to see if you had any solutions, otherwise I was afraid that the show I've been looking forward to wouldn't be able to take place."

At this moment, the true intentions are revealed.

"Aren't you bored? Doing this first thing in the morning?"

"Okay, the previous part was just a joke. The real purpose is actually... my senior brother asked if you have time. Help him guard Luofu, he's worried about Danheng alone."

Qiong: ?

"What's going on? Why did you switch from a food program to a military channel? What's your senior brother up to?"

"He said he was going to fight Fanghu, and Danheng supported him. Because before, Dad went crazy and insisted on using some kind of Dragon Emperor's power, and the Emperor granted a general amnesty."

"When Fanghu's group of dragon masters found out, they immediately shared the honor, each of them starting to fantasize about kicking the Star God and punching the Fate, and they were all in a collective climax. Just then, the might of the Alliance's generals was all weakened, and those dragon masters decided to fight the Alliance."

"I don't know how they did it, but they imprisoned the Dragon Lord and the General. Dad mentioned it before, but his advice at the time was to ignore it."

“I just asked, and he said he’s going to perform a fake death of the Dragon Emperor in a couple of days. He also told me not to disturb him and my mom while they’re watching the steel roll rain.”

Qiong: ?

"Is it really that dreamlike? Where is this 'Steel Rain'? Do you have an address? I suddenly want to go and see what this 'Steel Rain' thing is all about?"

Is this the focus?

"Alright, does Luofu need to be defended? In my memory, Luofu's defenses are very solid. Even with just our 300-odd junior disciples, the legion would be missing some parts if they attacked."

"And... why is Senior Brother getting involved? I remember Luo Fu had a conflict with the Alliance, didn't he? Could it be that Senior Brother is a newly appointed official and wants to take down Fang Hu?"

"No, it's because Fanghu's next target is Luofu. Luofu is the flagship, a merchant ship, which means it's rich."

Qiong slapped her forehead in exasperation, "Is our train about to become a dead train?"
