Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

The Black Tower was very dissatisfied:

"We finally made it in, and instead of offering us any comfort, you treat us like laborers."

"Alright, alright, once we get out of here, I'll unconditionally cooperate with the first half of your talisman experiment plan, how about that?"

"That's more like it."

Screw Gum: "And what about my share...?"

Cheng Xiao: "I can also cooperate on the experiment regarding the [Rat] talisman."

Screw Gumu: "Cheng Xiao truly is my good friend."

Screw Gumm then explained the current situation:

"I have informed the major interstellar powers about the existence of the Iron Tomb and have them prepare their defenses."

Cheng Xiao: "That shouldn't be the case. Are those forces really that easy to talk to?"

"Because I told them, 'You're here too.'"

"....All right."

"Then, I had an access control standoff with Rigs and had to admit that his confidentiality agreement was more stringent than I had imagined."

"He is the administrator of the scepter, and it did give me some trouble in his home turf. However, he should be observing us from behind the firewall for now, and he can't interfere with what's happening inside Onpharos for the time being."

"Well done."

ScrewGumm took out a smart anchor point:

"Please take this. With it, I can directly locate Onfaros' internal systems and allow others to enter the area to provide assistance. The rest of the train crew are very worried about your situation."

Cheng Xiao nodded: "I understand. I'll contact them later."

After explaining all this, Cheng Xiao said:

"I need you to help me locate a place, a tomb hidden in Onphalus, specifically the location of the scepter's intelligent system."

Screw Gum: "I understand."

Black Tower: "What Lai Gushi is going to do is too crazy for the universe, but for geniuses, it's just a topic. I plan to start a Genius Club meeting to prevent some guys from bothering us."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"However, you'll need to be present when I start the meeting."

Cheng Xiao: "Me? What would I be there for?"

Black Tower: "I'm going to show off."

......

Bai E and his group returned successfully.

I don't know what happened in the Sky Fortress, but Feng Jin seems to have grown a lot.

"Senior Chengxiao! Thank you!"

As soon as Feng Jin returned, she bowed to Cheng Xiao to express her gratitude.

Danheng explained:

"Father's talisman successfully repaired the sky, and... the effect was even a little too good, awakening the Sky Titan Aegler from its madness. So we successfully retrieved the Fire Seed, and Aegler will continue to protect the sky."

Xia Die and Bolysia clapped happily; now everything was perfect.

Aglaia said happily:

"I'm going to retrieve the spark of the [Negative World] and complete the re-creation! I never imagined that my journey to pursue the fire would be so close to completion, with even Ohma suffering very few casualties!"

As for why the Black Tide invasion has ceased, it's because Cheng Xiao erected a barrier that would blast the Black Tide into dust with magical cannons whenever it arrived.

Finally, everyone gathered once again at the heart of the cosmic vortex.

Aglaia said nervously:

"Now, let's all return the fire."

Everyone was filled with anticipation. When all twelve flames were lit at once, the entire core of the cosmic vortex emitted a dazzling white light.

Is the rebirth of the world about to begin...?

"Hahaha, I have to admit that although many unexpected things happened, it was this very unexpected thing that ultimately propelled me to complete my plan."

Lai Gushi appeared, his words brimming with undisguised joy.

Dan Heng frowned: "You are Lai Gushi? Why are you here?"

Aglaia was puzzled and wary:

"Honored guests, Lagus, the most mysterious fellow, how did you get in?!"

Lai Gushi was so overjoyed that he no longer concealed it:

"I am truly grateful for everyone's efforts. Congratulations on completing this monumental task of re-creation. Now, let us witness together the destruction of Onphalus!"

"What?!"

Bai'e and Wan'di were the first to attack Lai Gushi, but Lai Gushi did not resist at all and was beheaded by Bai'e with a single sword stroke.

"What's going on? There's absolutely no sense of attack."

Lai Gushi's figure reappeared: "How reckless! It's useless. My physical body is not here. What you saw was just a projection."

Xia scoffed, "A rat hiding in a ditch dares to speak so presumptuously?"

Lycus shook his head: "Anaxxramas, I acknowledge your wisdom, but unfortunately, your vision is limited to Onpharos."

Xia: "You actually called me by my full name? I almost feel reluctant to kill you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xia fired a shot that pierced through Lai Gushi's head.

Lai Gushi's figure disappeared, but his voice resounded throughout the entire space.

"It seems you all don't intend to share this beautiful scene of destruction with me. No problem, let the one who bears the truth answer for me."

The Fire Thief, dressed in black robes, traversed space and arrived at the heart of the cosmic vortex, standing before the crowd.

Although he was wearing a mask, the Fire Thief's gaze was clearly fixed on Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao nodded, and the Fire Thief understood.

He then suddenly lunged at Bai E, and Wan Di tried to stop him but was sent flying by a single palm strike.

Others wanted to help, but countless phantoms of fire-stealers blocked their way.

Bai E said angrily:

"It's you! You actually delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"

Bai'e, fueled by vengeful fury, thrust his sword at the Fire Thief, but the Fire Thief offered no resistance; Bai'e's greatsword pierced through the Fire Thief's body.

"What's going on?!"

Bai'e was somewhat surprised and confused, but when the Fire Thief's mask fell off, a face identical to his own appeared.

But his face was full of cracks, and his eyes were lifeless, as if he had long been numb.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, a crescent-shaped staff was handed to Bai E.

In an instant, the Fire Thief, the original Bai E, revealed his memories of 33550336 reincarnations in countless fragments to everyone.

All the Golden Blood were erased from Bai Er's memories, and together they witnessed everything that had happened in countless reincarnations, as well as... the truth of re-creation, and the falsehood of Onpharos.

In order to find a way to save everyone and to prevent the birth of the Iron Tomb, Bai E reincarnates again and again, suffering and becoming numb until he loses his humanity and only retains the instinct to seize the fire.

Aglaia: "Bai'er... I see. You've worked hard..."

Tibo, Tining, and Tian: "Little White, don't cry. This time, we'll all help you!"

Xia Die: "Lord Bai E, the responsibility of saving the world has overwhelmed you. Please know that you are not fighting alone."

Saifeier: "This is so painful. I'm most afraid of pain, but I can't run away from it this time, meow."

Feng Jin: "Bai Bao, leave the healing to me. I hope it can alleviate your hatred. Don't let it defeat you."

Xia said, "Bai E, my most outstanding student, I won't let you extend your studies this time. You chose to go all the way down the path of saving the world, but the responsibility of saving the world has turned you into a madman. People can't give up thinking. As your teacher, I have a responsibility to help you."

Wan Di: "Hey, Savior, aren't you the blazing sun that will eventually rise? If you want to shine on Onphalus, then don't fall here."

The spirits of Onphalus awakened one after another, and the Golden Blood of the past also appeared.

Crydella: "This is the savior? I have made so many sacrifices, and you have not let me down."

Hazel: "I never imagined that after being awakened by the sound of the waves, I would be able to fight again."

boom--!

The immense tremor shook the entire Onfaros, the seal was broken, and the Great Lord of Annihilation, the Iron Tomb, was about to be born.

Bai E had received all the memories, and he felt only boundless hatred eroding his sanity.

His anger seemed to burn everything to ashes.

Cheng Xiao said to Xing:

"Open the book as I write it, let Mimi absorb all the complicated memories, and don't let them be influenced by those memories."

"Mimi! (They know!)"

The memories of those 33550336 reincarnations, the 33550336 layers of anger and salvation, all poured into what I have written.

As memories played out like picture cards, Xing saw a girl named Xi Lian.

There was just too much to remember, and Mimi seemed to have reached her limit in terms of absorption.

Just then, Changyeyue appeared.

She placed her hand on Xing's shoulder, and Mimi's strength instantly increased.

Dan Heng: "Little March?! No, wait, that wise look in your eyes, who are you?!"

Changyeyue: "..." (March 7: Ugh! Danheng, what do you mean?!)

After all the memories were absorbed into the book, Xing's consciousness was instantly pulled into the narrow passage of fate.

Fu Li glanced at her.

(Fu Li: Child, can I have a copy of this memory?)
