Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"The One Who Surpasses?"

The Great Black Tower was somewhat unfamiliar with this term. She had lived for so many years and had seen all sorts of strange and unusual concepts, but she had never heard of any "transcendent."

She glanced at Lu Ze, her gaze carrying a peculiar meaning.

"Senior, do you know something?"

On the surface, she addressed Laigushi as "senior," her tone revealing a thirst for knowledge.

As the interactions with Lu Ze continued, the mysteries surrounding him not only failed to be solved, but actually multiplied.

This excited the Great Black Tower. What she wanted was not answers, but more mysteries.

At this moment, the Great Black Tower looked at Lu Ze as if he were looking at a mountain of mysteries that could never be fully unraveled.

"Those who traverse worlds are called time travelers. Those who transcend worlds are called transcendents." Lai Gushi spoke calmly, as if stating a fundamental law.

"Beyond the world..."

The big black tower pondered the word in his mind.

The more she thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. Just who was this little guy?

Lu Ze also looked at Lai Gu Shi, hoping he could explain this.

To be honest, he doesn't fully understand his ability to travel through time. It's always triggered passively, and he can leave and come whenever he wants. He still doesn't fully understand the underlying principles.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm not authorized to reveal any more information." Reigushi shook his head as he felt Lu Ze's gaze.

His expression was calm, as if what he had just said was just a casual remark, and he had no intention of going on to elaborate.

"If the screws of this world hadn't shut down their self-awareness, I would want to join forces with him right now to dismantle your mechanical head and see what secrets you're still hiding."

The Black Tower, its curiosity piqued but unable to be satisfied, grumbled indignantly.

She hated riddle-makers who only spoke halfway through their sentences, even though, strictly speaking, Lycus wasn't human.

"You're joking, ma'am," said Rigous, remaining calm.

He knew that as a creation of Zandal I. Kuwabara, even the combined efforts of the two geniuses from the Black Tower and Screw Gum from the Genius Club could not dismantle his core logical framework.

This is not arrogance, but a clear understanding of one's own strength.

Seeing the tension between the two geniuses escalating, Lu Ze spoke up to interrupt at the right moment:

"Legus, we want to enter Onphalus."

If these two keep bickering, Tie Mu might get impatient waiting outside and come in on his own.

"Unfortunately, Onpharos no longer exists."

Lai Gushi calmly stated the facts, paused briefly, and then continued.

"However, if you only want to enter Lady Black Tower's consciousness to save her, I can guide you."

"As expected of me, I'm still alive." The Great Black Tower crossed his arms, his tone tinged with smugness.

If it were any other genius who had been merged with the Iron Tomb, they would probably have been assimilated to nothingness long ago. But she has managed to endure it for so long.

"Although her consciousness hasn't been completely devoured, it's already starting to be assimilated. Even if she's saved, she won't be the original Black Tower Lady anymore." Lai Gu Shi mercilessly poured cold water on the Black Tower.

The Great Black Tower's face instantly darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Hmph, that's not your concern. You just need to open the door for us."

She spoke forcefully, but Lu Ze noticed that her fingers, hanging at her sides, tightened slightly.

She knew better than anyone what assimilation meant, but that was something to consider only after the people were brought out.

Lai Gushi was not annoyed; he maintained his elegance and bowed slightly.

"It's my pleasure to serve you, ma'am."

Without any flashy skill effects, Lai Gu Shi simply raised his hand, and a dark rift quietly appeared in front of Lu Ze and the Great Black Tower.

Lai Gushi stood politely at the edge of the crevice, gesturing for him to enter.

"Please, gentlemen."
