"Xing...you really haven't changed at all."

Hearing Kafka's voice, Xingmei stroked her chin and said seriously, "Witch, quickly hand over my master..."

"You keep talking about your master, your master..." Kafka looked dejected. "And what about me? In your heart... do I have no place at all? Don't you even care about me?"

"Um...you and I are very familiar?" Xingmei scratched her head.

Kafka: "..."

“I’m so sad… Even though you’re so cold to me… I’m really happy to see you,” Kaffa said gently.

"Oh... how happy are you?" Xingmei asked rhetorically.

"Hmm... I'm very happy." Kafka replied, feeling for some reason that Xingmei had changed a lot and was no longer the same as before.

"Star! Why waste your breath on her!" March 7th didn't have Star's patience. Seeing her fiercely interrogating Kafka, she said:

"Tell me everything you know!"

"Oh?" Kaffa raised an eyebrow slightly, then glanced at March Seven: "What do you want to know?"

"Where is Zhou Xiao..." March 7th asked.

"On the fairy ship... as for the exact location, I don't know," Kafka replied.

"Tsk! Who are you trying to fool! You think you don't know where he is?"

"Where he goes is his own business... Neither you nor I have the right to interfere. Perhaps he has found a place to hide... Perhaps he is on his way. You never know."

March 7th: "..."

Kaffa's answer clearly displeased March 7, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Then what is the purpose of you Star Core Hunters in leading us to the Immortal Ship?!"

Hearing March 7's question, Kafka looked at Xingmei: "Is this also the question you want to ask?"

"It's none of your business..." Xingmei put her hands on her hips: "Hurry up and confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely! Tell me everything!"

"Tsk, you've changed."

Kafka looked at Xingmei with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Seeing her sigh, she then spoke:

“Elio said he foresaw three problems, but they are essentially the same. If I hear one of them, I will tell you everything…”

"The chaos in the Star Core of the Immortal Ship has nothing to do with us Star Core Hunters. No, it's not entirely fair to say it has nothing to do with us. After all, from Elio's perspective, we foresaw everything, but we remained indifferent until we chose the right moment to get involved..."

"The reason the Grand Diviner of that department was so surprised was because she discovered three facts: first, the Star Core Hunters were not the enemies of the Immortal Ship; second, someone else brought the Star Cores into the Immortal Ship; this involved both internal and external troubles—both sides within and outside Luofu wanted to overthrow the Immortal Ship..."

"As for the truth behind this, I don't know either, because Elio foresaw that the Immortal Ship would use the Qiong Guan Formation on me... What I know is about the same as what the Immortal Ship Alliance knows..."

Kafka paused for a moment, then continued, "As for this third fact, I'm afraid the entire Immortal Ship couldn't figure it out even if they racked their brains..."

"If the Star Core Hunter wasn't the one who started all of this, then what am I... Ah Xiao... Ah Ren, doing here?"

As she spoke, she cast a questioning glance at Xingmei: "Take a guess?"

"Riddler, get out of the fairy ship..." Xingmei didn't want to guess, nor did she need to, since Kafka in front of her would answer everything.

"Tsk...it seems even the Star Train has extinguished your curiosity." Kaffa stopped teasing, her languid tone suddenly turning serious:

"If you won't guess, then I'll just tell you directly: everything we've done here... is for you."

"?"

This answer made both March 7th and Star Girl, who asked the question, raise an eyebrow.

"For us?"

"Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?... Believe it or not, whether the Luo Fu Immortal Ship believes it or not, it's the truth. The Star Core Hunter appeared here, A Ren was captured, A Xiao went to rescue him, and I entered the Qiong Guan Formation—all of this was to bring your Starry Sky Train to the Immortal Ship..."

“...”

This absurd answer made Xingmei frown: "For what?"

“Contact…” Kafka uttered softly.

"Your Star Train and the Celestial Ship...the connection between you, the Star Train, must accomplish something significant on the Celestial Ship. In the future that Elio has chosen, the power of the [Hunter] is indispensable."

"So... I have to lure you to the Immortal Ship. I need you to make direct contact with General Luo Fu and help them resolve the Star Core crisis, so that the Immortal Ship Alliance will owe you a favor. In this way... at the most crucial moment in the future, the Immortal Ship will lend you a helping hand."

"How about it? Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"The infamous Star Core Hunter did so much just to make you heroes of the Immortal Ship... I doubt even Ah Xiao ever imagined this scenario."

As Kafka explained in detail the purpose of the Star Core Hunters' visit, Star Girl stroked her chin as if trying to determine the truthfulness of her words.

Do you think...we'll believe that?

"Believe it or not, the facts are as they are... The future holds endless possibilities, and our appearance on the Immortal Ship is the most correct choice at this time..."

"You keep talking about the future... but what exactly is this future you're talking about?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

"The future... I can only tell you about the future. In the best and worst of futures, you will eventually face the Star God Nanuk, the Destroyer. At that time, you will need all kinds of help... because it will be a brutal battle at the level of a Star God." Kafka revealed a little.

"Destruction... Star God?" Star Girl was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "The Annihilation Lord we encountered on Yalilo VI... was he the one who sent him to mess with us?"

"Hmm...that's not it. You are still too weak. You have only attracted Him, the Lord of Annihilation, to Arillo VI...which does not exist in the scenario that Elio foresaw."

Hearing Kafka's reply, Xingmei scoffed, "So it seems your script isn't reliable either..."

"Didn't I just say that the possibilities of the future are endless... We can only choose the best future to lay out our script... Just like your master, Ah Xiao, his existence is the biggest link in the chain of future changes." Kafka slowly began to speak:

"He's special... and so are you. We... have high hopes for you, Xing."
