Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Under the combined cover of the Immortal Ship and the Company Fleet, Lu Ze successfully arrived at the gate of Onfaros—the core of the Genesis Vortex.

The moment he stepped into this space, he could feel the heaviness in the air, as if even the flow of time slowed down here.

Lu Ze walked along, observing the surrounding scenery.

The surrounding walls are covered with deep cracks, and many fragments of sculptures are scattered on the steps. Some fragments still bear the traces of exquisite carving, indicating that they once belonged to a magnificent statue.

Looking up, the twelve Titan totems in the sky were teetering on the brink of collapse, and all the flames had been extinguished.

The spiritual sea that once surrounded the entire altar had dried up, revealing a cracked riverbed. Twisted fissures appeared in the space from time to time, and the whole world was collapsing little by little.

As Lu Ze walked, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Xing.

As soon as he pressed the answer button, the phone automatically slipped from his hand and flew out of his hand.

Lu Ze stared blankly at his phone hovering in mid-air, subconsciously thinking:

I didn't turn on airplane mode!

The phone paused in mid-air, and the dense memory matter surrounding it began to rapidly gather around it.

The silvery-white memory material, like water drawn by a whirlpool, converged towards the small phone.

In less than half a minute, the memory material condensed into a form, and a peerless beauty, with a face like a pure and beautiful messenger and dressed in witch attire, appeared in front of Lu Ze.

"Ms. Black Tower...you..." Lu Ze was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"What's wrong? Little guy, are you scared?" The big black tower was very satisfied with Lu Ze's reaction.

She raised her hand to smooth her long hair that fell over her shoulder, her purple eyes filled with smugness.

Be grateful for the chance to behold my genius beauty.

"How did you get here?" Lu Ze asked the question that had been on his mind.

How come he didn't know his phone had this function?

Does that mean that from now on, all Starpunks will be able to accompany me on adventures like Black Tower?

The big black tower saw through Lu Ze's thoughts at a glance and rolled its eyes at him.

"Don't even think about it. Only a genius like me could do it, and this method only works in a place like Onpharos where memory is abundant."

The big black tower's words shattered Lu Ze's illusions, and then she continued to boast about herself.

"It would be impossible for others to temporarily construct a body that can carry my consciousness using memory, but it is an easy thing for me."

Lu Ze was somewhat disappointed to hear that this was not a built-in feature of the phone.

But he quickly rallied and asked, "Black Tower, what should we do next?"

His understanding of Onfaros was limited to what Xing had told him about her and Xilian's journey through reincarnation; he might not know anything else about the Great Black Tower, which had personally experienced the story.

"Let's go take a look ahead first."

The Great Black Tower took the lead and walked forward, the hem of her witch outfit fluttering slightly, revealing a small section of her black-stockinged calves.

Before Lu Ze could even taste it, he hurriedly followed in her footsteps.

The two walked up a long staircase and soon encountered an unexpected person.

A figure stood silently deep within the vortex of creation; he was none other than Lycurgus.

Or you could call him Lai Gushi.

One of the nine intelligent machine clones created by the first genius, Zandal I. Kuwabara.

He had already sensed someone's arrival, and he slightly raised his head, letting out a long sigh.

"Look... this is yet another defeat for Lycurgus."

His voice carried a weariness that transcended time, as if he had witnessed countless similar endings.

Then he turned around and bowed to Lu Ze and Da Heita.

Lai Gushi bowed slightly, his right hand lightly touching his chest, a gesture that was both elegant and solemn.

"Long time no see, Lady Black Tower from another time and space. And, transcendent beings from beyond this world."
