【Perhaps a glimmer of hope remained in his heart, and Di Gong stormed into the grand hall, angrily berating the nobles for their greed for immortality, asking what difference they were from the emperors of a thousand years ago who craved the same thing?】
【The nobles, having already achieved immortality, simply ignored Di Gong, the hero of the Xianzhou, paying no heed to his rebukes.】
Ying Zheng: “What’s wrong with me seeking immortality? Is there a single useful descendant among them? Who wouldn’t want to live forever?”
藤原 no Meirin: “Not me.”
Hu Hai: “How am I not useful?”
Zhan Guo: “Di Gong’s position is as awkward as Garp’s… He’s a hero, a figure of renown, but he’s just a mascot, unable to truly challenge the decisions of the higher-ups.”
【Heartbroken and disillusioned, Di Gong refused to join the corruption, rejecting the elixir of immortality. 】
【To express his resolve, he drew his longbow and shot an arrow at the Jianmu, infuriating the nobles, who saw it as an act of disrespect against the Yaksha and immortality itself!】
【The Jianmu remained unscathed, while Di Gong was found guilty.】
【Because of his achievements and popularity, the nobles could not impose a severe punishment. Instead, they sentenced Di Gong and his group to cryogenic hibernation.】
Huang Zhong: “Arrows pierce through stone, his strength surpasses the armies. Unmatched, he takes heads from a thousand men!”
Jiu Lang: “Slaying immortality… immortality is indeed a sin and a bane. Pity the blessings of the gods are beyond the reach of mortals to destroy.”
Orion: “His stance as he draws the bow is full of determination! He’s a true man!”
Kyuurama: “Cryogenic hibernation? That’s even more painful than being sealed within a Jinchuriki!”
Aozaki Aoko: “Hibernation? Ha, what a euphemism. It’s just like being sealed away like a designated seal.”
【In the year 2609 of the Stellar Calendar, with the exception of Di Gong and his group, now slumbering in cryogenic chambers, the eight Xianzhou had achieved full immortality, death eradicated!】
【A year later, to celebrate the ascension of the Xianzhou people from short-lived beings to immortals, the main ship, Luofu, held a grand feast, granting amnesty to all, except for Di Gong and his group.】
【Four hundred years later, the curse of immortality, as predicted by Di Gong, unfolded.】
【The nobles monopolized power and wealth, and with the population explosion due to immortality and the devaluation of labor, the commoners lost hope for the long future.】
【Rebellions erupted throughout the Xianzhou, only to be suppressed time and again.】
Thanos: “Full immortality… I can already see their tragic fate.”
Venti: “Sigh… Nobles, truly, there will always be a clash between nobility and commoners.”
Minister Onest: “Those lowly, starving peasants dare to rebel against the nobles? They’ll be crushed sooner or later!”
Silco: “Each failure only fuels the fire, a great war will erupt sooner or later! I await its arrival.”
In the world of Fate, Tengu Shirou, who was scavenging, froze in place.
His dream was to materialize souls to achieve immortality for all humanity, creating a world without strife.
But the picture of human immortality before him was vastly different from what he had envisioned.
As long as humanity remained bound to desire and malice, conflict would never cease.
…
In the world of Double City, the image of the Xianzhou people rising in revolt ignited a spark in Ekko’s heart.
One day, he too would lead the Undercity in a revolution against the Uppercity.
…
【In the year 3198 of the Stellar Calendar, the Xianzhou Zhu Ming’s leader, Heifu, raised the banner of rebellion. The other seven Xianzhou, their fates intertwined, were drawn into an all-out civil war!】
【The Golden List image jumps ahead 200 years into the future of the Xianzhou. 】
【The battles were fierce, fueled by the curse of immortality, but the true losses were not enough to awaken the Xianzhou people, not until the destruction of Xianzhou Yuanqiao finally jolted them to their senses.】
【The Xianzhou Yuanqiao, caught in the throes of civil war, was pulled by the gravity of a red giant, unable to escape, and ultimately plunged into the star, completely destroyed.】
【The other seven Xianzhou mourned its loss, leading to a ceasefire between the warring factions. 】
Emperor: “The Xianzhou is plagued by too many issues. The rebellion of the Iron Men, the curse of immortality, class struggle… They lack a strong leader to unite them all.”
Vander: “Silco was wrong. Senseless war only brings pain. This rebellion was destined to fail from the start.”
Zero: “They’ve gone bloodthirsty, only the appearance of victims will bring them to their senses… A true tragedy.”
Absolite Tartaros: “To wage war against each other, a joke for outsiders. What can’t be resolved between kinsmen? Why resort to war against your own kind?”
Jean Pierre Polnareff: “Victims have emerged, the war is over, but was it truly worth it?”
In the world of Star Rail, the Xianzhou people looked down at the comments in the chat area, their heads bowed.
This was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the Xianzhou.
The nine Xianzhou had sailed together into the starry sea, but past conflicts and immaturity led to the destruction of Yuanqiao, a wound that would forever remain in their hearts.
…
【To end the war, the Xianzhou people signed an agreement, allowing for interstellar migration and planned parenthood to alleviate the population pressure.】
【In the year 3300 of the Stellar Calendar, the Xianzhou people encountered old friends, the Winged People and the Flesh Sighters.】
【The Winged People’s home planet, Qung Sang, was similar in nature to Luofu, and they solved their land and resource problems by absorbing the Blessings of Abundance from other Stellar Domains.】
【This time, their true intentions were revealed, their target was the Xianzhou Luofu.】
El-Melloi II: “This is just a way of shifting the conflict, the upper echelons will continue to do as they please.”
Conan: “The birth of the Xianzhou was a conspiracy of the Winged People?! I have a bold and terrifying theory!”
Luo Ji: “I’ve already figured it out… the dark side of the universe, the Abundance People were so kind to share the secrets of immortality with the Xianzhou, all so they could later seize the Blessings of Abundance for themselves!”
Melina: “Countless civilizations have been bestowed with Blessings of Abundance, perhaps the Abundance People are also fighting and killing each other over them.”
Kaysa: “So the enemy of the Xianzhou is the Abundance Star God? The Abundance People don’t have the same essence as the Abundance Star God.”
Gojo Satoru: “The real enemy of the Xianzhou should be the Abundance People who are vying for the Blessings, because, I suspect, after this battle, the Xianzhou people and the Abundance People will be locked in an unyielding conflict.”
【Faced with the invasion of the Winged People, the Xianzhou was powerless to resist.】
【Already weakened by a century of civil war and the loss of one Xianzhou, they had also lost a large number of people due to interstellar migration.】
【In this critical moment, the nobles finally remembered Di Gong, who was still in hibernation. 】
【Di Gong, along with the rest of the group who had opposed immortality, were released and stood resolutely on the front lines against Qung Sang.】
【Di Gong quickly formulated a plan to buy time for the Xianzhou, then he went to Zhu Ming and found another great enemy of the Xianzhou, Suiyang Suihuang.】
Sakata Gintoki: “Di Gong and the others… I’m crying!
Aatrox: “To die in battle, with no thought of survival… I was once like that. Di Gong, I acknowledge you.”
Airi: “It’s because of people like Di Gong, so kind and lovable, that the Xianzhou was able to achieve such brilliance, as the Golden List depicts.”
Shen Gongbao: “To use their spear to attack their shield, a brilliant strategy!”
Otakemaru: “What is his purpose in seeking out Suihuang? Wait! Could it be… he intends to sacrifice himself as fuel to gain power? This idiot!”
