They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 508 Another Tragedy That Lasted for Over 30 Million Reincarnations
Xi Lian used permissions she herself didn't understand to open the door to the tomb ruins in her memory fragments, and Dan Lei naturally took the lead and walked in first.

Regardless of whether there are traps behind the door, Dan Lei, who cannot be selected by the Scepter System, is definitely safer than Xi Lian.

Moreover, Danlei is tough and resilient; even if the builders of this ruin set up some physical traps, it would be difficult to harm Danlei.

However, after passing through a short but narrow passage, what comes into view is a small circular platform and a vertical eye-shaped device floating in the center.

Then, most surprisingly, a small memory projection of Xi Lian is looking up at the vertical eye device from the nearest platform.

Dan Lei sensed that there were no traps around. He used his mental connection to instruct Xi Lian to immediately hide in the Holy Grail space at the slightest sign of trouble. Then, he stepped forward and activated the memory projection of little Xi Lian.

Then, Danlei and Xilian overheard a conversation from the past.

Xiao Xilian: "Hi, did you miss me?"
Just kidding, this is the first time I've come to stand in front of you.

System voice: "Execution protocol λ003-097: Format object."

Formatting progress: 0.015%..."

Xiao Xilian thought, "It seems this is the last time."

System beep: "Formatting process: 23.815%..."

Xiao Xilian: "Since time is limited, let's get started quickly?"

As always, I will read this book to you.

In this way, it is no longer just "Xi Lian's" memory.

System beep: "Formatting process: 45.147%..."

Xiao Xilian: "This time, which page should we start from? Let me see..."

Yes, it's from [The Sage Who Drags Stones] Medmos...

Let's begin with that summer encounter with [Champion Wang Yi]...

The system message reads, "Formatting process complete."

The dialogue recorded in this memory projection was very short, less than ten minutes in total.

In those ten minutes, Xiao Xilian briefly and completely recounted a story that seemed to tell of how Maidemus did not inherit the throne of Xuanfeng, but instead chose to become a sage in the Tree Court, and what he experienced with Na Kexia.

Dan Lei found this story incredibly far-fetched, suggesting it was far more likely made up than actually happened.

However, as Xi Lian approached, after the projection of Xiao Xi Lian's memories dissipated, she clearly remembered something.

Xi Lian immediately covered her head and said to Dan Lei
"Danlei, I think I remember something. This memory projection is left behind by my past self."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately asked...
"You left it behind? Do you remember who you were talking to at the time?"
How did you get here?
Is there any hidden information in the story I told despite the risk of it being deleted?

Xi Lian frowned and pondered Dan Lei's question for a moment, then replied helplessly.
"I'm sorry, there's only so much I can remember."

In my newly awakened memories, there seems to be no information about the person who heard the story.

In this part of my memory, I seem to have been very confused, as if I knew in some unseen way that I needed to tell stories here, even if they would be deleted.

As for how I got in, I have absolutely no memory of it.

After Xi Lian said that, Dan Lei didn't force her, and then scanned the tomb with his spiritual power.

Dan Lei was immediately covered in sweat.

Because he only swept the area casually, Dan Lei discovered that there were three visible projections of Xiao Xilian's memories in this space.

Meanwhile, countless fragments of Xiao Xilian's memories lay on the ground, too numerous to be seen with the naked eye due to the limited information recorded. There were at least tens of thousands of such fragments.

It can be said that this so-called Titan Tomb is actually the grave of Xiao Xilian. These tens of thousands of memory fragments are what remained after Xilian was deleted.

When Dan Lei scanned this tragic scene, Xi Lian, who was of the same mind as Dan Lei, naturally knew about it as well.

With a wave of her hand, she invoked the power of her memories, and the entire platform, including the area below where the mechanical structure projecting vertical eyes was located, was instantly filled with Xiao Xilian's "corpse".

However, Xi Lian now seemed to know something, and this tragic scene did not agitate her too much.

With another wave of her hand, the large fragments of memories on the ground vanished instantly, turning into scattered specks of memory power that returned to Xi Lian's body.

After absorbing these fragments of memory, Xi Lian stood there dumbfounded.

Dan Lei didn't disturb her, because he knew that Xi Lian was currently sorting through the jumbled fragments of her memories.

A few minutes later, Xi Lian sighed softly and said to Dan Lei...
"Danlei, I know the truth about these fragments of Xiaoxilian's memories."

Through Bai E's memories, we already know that the principle of eternal reincarnation is to kill me in advance, so that I can inherit the memory spark in each reincarnation.

Let the demigod of time disappear from the world and reset time.

However, each time the power of time is deleted after the creation of the world, Bai E will lead me into this great tomb.

Although I was killed early on, the things recorded in that cycle of reincarnation will be brought into this great tomb by each reincarnation of me when the world is recreated.

Then, I began to tell the story of this reincarnation to a friend who was unknown and whose very existence was uncertain.

Of course, to better reflect the personalities of the Golden Bloods and to make the story more tender, I will make some minor changes to the specific details.

When Xi Lian said "just a tiny bit," she raised her right hand and used her thumb and forefinger to make a slit.

However, even through a slit only two or three millimeters wide, Dan Lei saw the stars and the sea.

Several of the stories of Onphalus do not end in tragedy.

Xi Lian, in order to soften the story, must become a fictional historian.

However, it is quite tragic that Xi Lian, who has gone through more than 30 million reincarnations, completed her final journey as a data memory entity here.

No wonder that even in the garbage data zone, Xi Lian, whom he encountered, knew nothing.

Her original data has been completely deleted; what remains there is nothing but the dregs.

In other words, the number 33550335 is large enough that even the smallest remnants can be pieced together to form an empty shell.

But isn't this proof once again that the suffering Xi Lian endured in these 33550335 reincarnations was no less than that of Bai E?

Both of them are people who carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, but one is in the foreground and the other is behind the scenes.

So, Dan Lei stepped forward, gently patted Xi Lian's head with a hint of tenderness, and asked...

"Does absorbing these memory fragments mean that you have recovered the memories of the reincarnations in which these fragments originated?"
Is it alright to regain so many memories all at once?

If you're tired, you don't have to absorb these memories.

You've already given your all in those 33550335 reincarnations; there's no need for you to relive those past pains now.

Dan Lei's meaning was clear: Xi Lian could completely choose not to absorb these fragments of memory.

To put it bluntly, the memories of the 33550335 reincarnations are mostly Bai E's, recorded from the perspective of time, at most supplementing some details.

These details are of little use to Dan Lei and Xi Lian; they merely make the tragedy of number 33550335 more complete.

However, this time, Xi Lian firmly rejected Dan Lei's suggestion and replied...

"It's alright. These fragments of memory carry limited memories. What I'm recovering are just the stories told here, and most of them are incomplete."

These are all memories I've lost, and I want to recover them as much as possible.

Since Xi Lian had said so, Dan Lei could only support her. Dan Lei had never experienced amnesia, but judging from the situations of March 7th and Xing, even Xing, who usually seemed carefree, was eager to regain her lost memories.

However, unlike March 7th, which is fully revealed, Xing is quite subtle in this regard.

Having decided to support Xi Lian, Dan Lei decisively turned to the vertical-eyed machine in the air, which was enveloped in energy, and said...
"You have absorbed all the memory fragments in this room."

Let's go check out the next room.

Let's also take a look at what the machines below actually do.

After saying that, Dan Lei jumped off the platform and came to the terminal that kept the vertical eye machine suspended in the air.

To be honest, there's not much to study about this terminal. It just has a large slot on it, which clearly indicates that this terminal is a USB port.

Danlei clearly did not have any equipment that could be matched to this connector.

I tried to analyze this port using Immortal One, but it turns out that this thing's firewall is comparable to that on Rigol.

Given that the firewall of this site is very sensitive, reckless actions could easily lead to problems.

Moreover, Xi Lian returns here to tell stories in over 30 million reincarnations, proving that this place is most likely unrelated to Lai Gu Shi.

This place may hold the key to solving the mystery of Onphalus.

Therefore, Danlei did not attempt to brute-force crack the data in this terminal.

It simply synchronized the firewall information.

After finishing, Danlei went to the mechanical door behind the terminal, which was the only passage to the next room.

Compared to cracking a terminal firewall, opening a door is obviously no challenge for Dan Lei.

If you can't even open the door, what's the point of talking about destroying the Iron Tomb and ascending to the Star God?

Arriving at a corridor once again, the floor was still littered with fragments of Xi Lian's memories.

After these fragments of memory returned to Xilian, they entered the next room, where a huge database matrix came into view.

Upon entering, Dan Lei looked around and saw that, apart from the central data core, everything else appeared to be server equipment. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Such an extravagant storage array is comparable to the [Electronic Sanctuary] Inubis."

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Xi Lian immediately asked curiously.

"Inubis? That place is also the electronic world?"

Dan Lei shook his head and answered honestly.
"No in principle. I've never been to that place, but it's very famous in the universe."

In some ways, that world is somewhat similar to the former Pinocchio.

They are all prisons.

However, that place is currently in a state of extreme chaos because the star core, which serves as the metacode, was stolen by the star core hunters.

Countless data demons have escaped from prison and are wreaking havoc.

However, in a way, isn't the present-day Onpharos a prison that you and Behe ​​created to keep the Iron Tomb locked up?

In short, we should try not to damage this place and explore towards the central core.

"By the way, your remaining fragments of memory and memory projections should all be here. Absorbing them will be a huge undertaking."

As Dan Lei spoke, Xi Lian had already revealed all the fragments of Xi Lian's memories in this place.

The two of them were now numb, looking at Xi Lian, who was shining with white light all over the ground, without much emotional fluctuation.

The following procedures are self-explanatory.

Dan Lei was worried that Xi Lian would develop mental problems from the memories of 33550335 reincarnations, so he took care of her throughout the process of recovering her memories.

Along the way, Danlei found three more terminals.

However, just like with the first terminal, Danlei confirmed that the firewall could not be easily bypassed and therefore did not touch them.

Fortunately, there were still gains along the way. In front of the final terminal, Dan Lei and Xi Lian encountered Xi Lian's projection from the 33550335th reincarnation.

At this moment, after the memory projections along the way, Dan Lei clearly knew that there was indeed a consciousness within this server array.

This consciousness was not something Xi Lian imagined, because as the number of reincarnations increased, the time of deletion recorded in the memory projection also continued to increase.

Clearly, there exists a entity that resists the system's deletion of Xi Lian.

During the deletion process, numerous "Error process: parsing..." errors began to appear.

The last Xi Lian to come here (the seed of time in the 33550336th cycle was inherited by the pioneers, so no Xi Lian will come here).

Her memory projection here conveys an exceptionally crucial piece of information.

"I come to the end of my life, becoming nourishment for the next flower to bloom."

And you will stay here, protecting this nursery of memories.

In this way, when the savior arrives, the first thing that will catch your eye is an endless sea of ​​flowers.

And our story will lie quietly among the flowers, like every ripple of memory, in that poem titled "As I Write."

Upon hearing this, there was no need to listen to anything else; the clever Xi Lian and Dan Lei simultaneously realized something.

Dan Lei laughed and shook his head as he spoke.
"Hahaha, this is really interesting. Xi Lian, who has gone through more than 30 million reincarnations, has nurtured a seed with her story."

In this so-called great tomb of emotions, the seeds of memories are stored.

Now, as I have written on Xing, it proves that Mimi is this seed.

No wonder she appeared in Xi Lian's image.

Before she came to Xing's side, she had only seen you and heard your voice, so she could only imitate you.

I just don't know how well her memory has returned, or whether she knows her true identity.

Xi Lian naturally agreed with Dan Lei's assessment. Having retrieved over 30 million fragments of her memories from the cycle of reincarnation, she was fully capable of piecing together all the efforts she had made in this great tomb.

Yes, because Dan Lei's Xi Lian is essentially a collection of data remnants from over 30 million Xi Lians, she is a collection of over 30 million reincarnated Xi Lians. Every Xi Lian who left memory fragments in this great tomb is the purple-haired Xi Lian standing in front of Dan Lei at this moment.

After Dan Lei finished speaking, he turned to look at the door behind the central data core component. Normally, this is where the seed of that memory is located.

But now, because of the arrival of the savior planet, the seed has obviously turned into Mimi running away on her own.

However, the coordinates of Changyeyue in this area prove that she has already usurped the position.

If nothing unexpected happens, that's where Changyeyue is hiding.

So, Dan Lei walked to the door and said to Xi Lian...

"Based on our previous interactions with Mimi, this seed that you nurtured with love is growing quite well."

Aside from following Xing around and being somewhat influenced by her eccentric personality, everything else is fine.

So let's wait until Xing comes to this cycle before we go to find out what's going on with Mimi.

Now, we need to help Mimi figure out what that woman who occupied her house while she was away is up to.

　The protagonist did not behave as I described, therefore the data recovery system of the Great Tomb could not be activated.
