Because they still have a "script" to perform.

"It seems the matter regarding the other world has to be pushed back again."

"But since the time flow is different, it doesn't matter much."

"Then let's wait a bit longer."

Through the Qiong-Sang technology, the speculation that the time flow in the other world is slower when applying Aether Editing technology in the other world was confirmed.

So Lin Qi wasn't in such a rush.

After resting a bit, Lin Qi proceeded to handle the last matter of the day.

Which was meeting Dan Heng.

"Xueyi, bring Dan Heng over."

Unlike the Astral Express, Pela couldn't bring Dan Heng over.

After all, Dan Heng was "in jail."

Um...

To be precise, it was house arrest.

With Dan Heng's status, in the absence of a clear conflict, it wouldn't go so far as to make Dan Heng actually sit in jail.

But his freedom would definitely be restricted, and he would be strictly guarded.

And only Xueyi had the authorization to bring him out.

After waiting for a while.

Two figures appeared.

One man and one woman.

"Doctor, this is Dan Heng," Xueyi introduced.

At this time.

Dan Heng just recovered from the convenience of the Anywhere Door.

Just now, Xueyi suddenly appeared and told him he was going to see the highest leader of Jarilo; he was still thinking about how long it would take and prepared to think about what to say later.

But he didn't expect Xueyi to take out a door.

After opening it, he arrived in front of Lin Qi.

There was absolutely no reaction time at all.

Is this the real Anywhere Door?

For a moment.

Dan Heng felt incredibly emotional, and at the same time, a bit fortunate.

Fortunate that he didn't choose to be hostile to Jarilo.

Because just an Anywhere Door alone might make it impossible for him to escape.

Not to mention the Celestial Navigation Tower, a megastructure that made it completely impossible for him to hide.

And just as Dan Heng was thinking about what Lin Qi would say and how he should respond.

Lin Qi's first sentence made him feel confused.

Even astonished.

"Mr. Dan Heng, are you interested in joining Jarilo?"

"..."

Dan Heng was stunned for a moment; he even thought Lin Qi would hold him accountable.

He didn't expect.

It was actually an invitation for him to join?

This made the wording he had thought out completely useless.

As for whether to join, he could only say...

Is there such a good thing?

125, Dan Heng's choice? The Amber King strikes! The 2157th Amber Era ends

Before coming, Dan Heng had prepared himself mentally.

That is, actually sitting in jail.

He didn't care at all if he was sentenced to ten or eight years.

Anyway, according to his understanding.

Sitting in jail in Jarilo is much better than in the Shackling Prison.

Except for some restrictions on freedom, other times are like a vacation.

If he performs well, he might even be cleared after getting out of jail.

So.

There was nothing to be afraid of at all.

But what Dan Heng didn't expect was that Lin Qi would invite him.

"What? Are you surprised?" Lin Qi smiled.

Dan Heng paused and replied, "A little, I thought..."

"Thought I would interrogate you?" Lin Qi shook his head and continued, "If that were the case, the place we met wouldn't be here, and you wouldn't even be able to see me. As for why I invited you, the reason is also very simple: Jarilo needs talent."

"Even someone like me?" Dan Heng's tone was still a bit unbelievable, emphasizing, "You should have known my identity from the Xianzhou, right? Do you really not need to investigate further?"

Dan Heng felt like he was dreaming.

Because what he had been thinking about for the past few years was actually how to have a legal identity in Jarilo.

"No need to investigate further; we know everything we should know. Besides..." Lin Qi continued, "You have already proven with several years that you are a law-abiding person. As for the Xianzhou side... they can't control me."

Lin Qi added a sentence in his heart.

And in a little while...

They will have to beg me!

Dan Heng nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Lin Qi's statement.

With Lin Qi's influence in the universe and Jarilo's current power, even the Xianzhou Alliance has to communicate with Lin Qi on equal terms.

Then whether he, Dan Heng, joins Jarilo or not, the Xianzhou naturally can't control it.

The only problem is...

"Commander, I have another concern, which is the person chasing me. He is very special and seems completely unkillable. I have thrust the spear tip into his chest time and time again, but after a period of time, I am found by him again. I worry that he will attack me in the future," Dan Heng said worriedly.

"Don't worry about this; he won't chase you anymore in the future. Once is fine, but twice? They, the Stellaron Hunters, wouldn't dare."

Lin Qi promised, "And I will also find a way to solve the root cause of the grudge between you."

Root cause?

Dan Heng's pupils shrank, and he couldn't stay calm.

But before that, he first had to confirm whether what Lin Qi said was that matter.

"Commander, the root cause you mentioned refers to..."

"The Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion, Baiheng."

Lin Qi answered concisely.

On the other side.

Dan Heng thought to himself, "As expected."

Although Dan Heng is the reincarnation of the High Elder, he recovered quite a few memories of his past life due to the intervention of the former Master Diviner of the Luo Fu's Alchemy Commission.

Perhaps these memories are not very complete.

But in his long life in prison, he still pieced together a rough idea of the grudges of his past life.

So.

He knew why he was in jail.

And precisely because of this.

Dan Heng was so surprised.

At this time.

Lin Qi continued, "You don't need to know too much about the specifics; I can only tell you that Jingliu, who is also one of the High-Cloud Quintet and a colleague of your past life Dan Feng, is already under my command."

"And we will head to the Luo Fu in the near future to solve this problem."
