Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Messages on the interstellar network were cleaned up very quickly; related information was blocked across the entire network, videos were taken down, and even simple discussions were deleted.

But what happened before has already been etched into the hearts of many people.

The more it was banned, the stronger the backlash became. Silver Wolf's name gradually began to be mentioned and spread in offline venues in Punklord and even more places.

"Is the company just going to let a little girl provoke us like this?"

"Can the invasion of Pierpoint be streamed live? I want to tip a spaceship!"

“I know that woman, she’s the Queen of Punklords!”

The uproar in public opinion was harder to contain than Silver Wolf's speech.

Worse still, those wanted criminals and downtrodden individuals who previously only dared to hide in the shadows have also begun to stir.

Some idolize Silver Wolf, some want to take advantage of the chaos to slack off, and some just want to witness the company's downfall firsthand.

........

On the spaceship, Lin Yuan received another invitation to an online meeting convened by Taravan.

"Enough of the small talk, should we adjust the arrangements for this interstellar peace conference?" Taravan asked directly.

Diamond was the first to speak, his voice steady yet sharp.

"No need. At the company headquarters, right under Amber King's nose, if we back down because of a few petty villains, what will the entire galaxy think of the company? What will the other factions think?"

He looked around at everyone present.

"Let them come. I want to see who wants to experience the company's wrath and who dares to challenge the authority of the storage service!"

Oswaldo, unusually, did not refute, but simply added, "In any case, security must be strengthened."

The scarred woman tapped on the table.

"The Business Consolidation Department will continue to guide public opinion and prevent them from leading the narrative."

“Then proceed as usual.” Taravan made the final decision, turning his gaze to Lin Yuan.

"Manager Lin, come back as soon as you've finished dealing with your matter. Pierpoint needs you to be there."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

The meeting ended, and communications were cut off. He turned around and looked out the porthole.

The spaceship is slowing down, and ahead, a planet enveloped in a dark red light is slowly rotating.

We've arrived at the Balanza furnace.

Chapter 388 Balanza Furnace

The Baranza furnace, once a bustling and thriving industrial planet, is now eerily silent.

This processing base, once regarded by the Interstellar Peace Corporation as the core of the synesthetic beacon, and an industrial planet jointly operated by the Business Consolidation Department and the Technology Research and Development Department, is now only covered by a black and red light curtain.

The importance of synesthetic beacons, the key technology that enables intergalactic civilizations to communicate in real time, share information, and trade collaboratively, is self-evident.

If production is interrupted, the development of new market expansion and preservation business will be greatly affected.

Therefore, the company has always maintained a powerful fleet force here for protection, with star fortresses, orbital gun arrays, automatic defense systems, and more.

However, at this moment, these technological creations floated lifelessly in space, turning into a cold graveyard.

Indeed, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. The code name "Iron Tomb" is truly fitting.

Each of its appearances signifies the collapse of a technological world.

Lin Yuan knew the essence behind this; it was less a collapse of technology and more a destruction of science and intellect.

This is the product of Zandal's alter ego in Onfaros, a concrete manifestation of the anti-intellectual equation.

"I think you're asking for trouble, you old fool." Lin Yuan squinted, a thought flashing through his mind.

"I'll come see you in person after I've finished dealing with things at the company."

But that's a story for later. The immediate priority is dealing with the planet that was destroyed.

The spacecraft gradually slowed down, attracting the attention of the company's on-site containment team.

Several company survey ships quickly approached, and after scanning the spacecraft's identification code, the previously tense personnel were suddenly alarmed and immediately reported the information to the person in charge on site.

Shortly after, a communication was initiated.

"Manager Lin! We never expected you to come in person. We have truly neglected you!"

In the communication video, the on-site manager, who identified himself as P42 from the Business Consolidation Department, had sweat on his forehead.

Lin Yuan remained calm: "No need for formalities. I'm here to resolve the issue. How's the situation on the ground?"

"Progress... On-site, our business department and technology department are working together, and the incentive department has also invited the memory retrieval experts from the Memory Garden to assist in retrieving memories."

The person in charge looked somewhat uneasy.

Lin Yuan looked in that direction and indeed saw a crystal-clear flying object hovering around the planet.

A dazzling array of colors shimmered across its surface, like a solidified diamond—that was the spaceship of the Flowing Light Memory Palace.

"So, what have they found out so far?"

"Uh..." The person in charge had beads of sweat on their forehead.

"The surface of the Balanza furnace is enveloped by a layer of energy field, making it difficult for either our detection equipment or our exploration team to get close."

The R&D department wants to conduct research, but the equipment malfunctions and breaks down as soon as it gets close. We are currently... still unable to break through the outer barrier.

"Hmm." Lin Yuan didn't blame the other party, but simply nodded calmly.

“Objective difficulties do exist. An attack from a Great Lord of Annihilation is a bit too much for you. Don’t worry.”

The person in charge was almost in tears: "Thank you for your understanding, Manager Lin... Then, should we ask Yiting to try again? After all, the company spent a lot of money."

"There's no need for that," Lin Yuan interrupted him, raising his hand.

"I'll handle it."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the cabin.

..........

Meanwhile, a group of Memory Enthusiasts were also having a heated discussion on the Memory Court spaceship not far away.

Inside the transparent ship's cabin, the Memory Receivers looked at the surging black and red light curtain outside, chatting amongst themselves.

"Based on the optimal time for memory retrieval, our window of opportunity is running out. If we delay any longer, these memories may be completely destroyed."

The leader was a seasoned memory user. Although they all looked similar, their personalities could be roughly discerned from their voices.

"So what? We can't exactly risk venturing into that pitch-black place, can we?"

"Didn't you hear from the company that this was the work of the Great Lord of Annihilation? The Great Lord of Annihilation! We're not like Lord Wulou Jingzi, going up there would just be suicide missions!"

A cheerful voice called out.

"That's right, the company didn't pay much."

"I think we should just forget about it; it's not worth it."

A chorus of voices rose up, all echoing her words.

"Look!" Suddenly, a lively voice interrupted the discussion.

"It seems like a very important person has arrived at the company! Their spaceship has even docked there; it looks like a big deal!"

"Oh? An important person?" Immediately, people gathered around.

"The bigwigs in the company must know a lot of secrets, right?"

"Sisters, how about I go and investigate? Maybe I can unearth some rare memories!"

"Let me go, I'm clever."

Seeing the group of young remembrancers excited as if they had smelled honey, the senior leader finally spoke: "Stop!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an air of authority. She slowly swept her gaze across the crowd:

"We are all travelers of memory, recorders of cause and effect."

But some memories should not be pried into; some causes and effects should not be easily touched. Have you all forgotten the companions who have disappeared over the years?

The atmosphere instantly turned cold. The young survivors exchanged glances, and one of them muttered to himself:

"She's trying to scare us again... Maybe she wants to keep those memories for herself and offer them to Lord Yiting."

They dared not speak out loud, but their little thoughts were transparently visible in the meme-filled community of those who remember.

That person, besides Wulou Jingzi who is in charge of Yiting, is no one else.

The entire Flowing Light Memory Court is collecting memories for him, helping him to go further on his destiny's journey.

The Pure Ones, each one of them is a seed of the Star God of Memory. When the universe comes to its end, the one among them who has traveled the furthest on her destiny will become the ascending Floating One.

The universe is destroyed, but memories will rewind and rebuild it. The shattered memories will once again transform into pure, flawless particles, which will be scattered by the Star God of Memory across every timeline.

Therefore, these pure children without outflows are both the past and the future of Fuli, with cause and effect closed and reincarnation repeating endlessly.

As for that mysterious star god, who emerged from the heavens of goodness, perhaps it was some pure and flawless being who chose to make everything unknowable in order to break the cycle of reincarnation, so that cause and effect could no longer be anchored, thus breaking the cycle of reincarnation.

Faced with the clamor, the leader of the Memory Registrars did not respond. Instead, his figure swayed slightly, transforming into a stream of informational light that vanished in an instant.

......

In space, Lin Yuan's figure appeared, overlooking the entire planet.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened slightly, and then he raised his hand and grabbed at the void.

A crystalline figure that had already transitioned into an informational state and was about to disappear was forcibly pulled out of the information medium and imprisoned in a palm.

The seasoned memory reader was startled, looked around, somewhat puzzled. She looked up and met a gaze looking down at her.

"you--"

Seeing this, the Memory Receiver shuddered violently. What was going on? His memetic body had been grabbed? What a joke!

"The Memory Recipient of the Flowing Light Memory Court," Lin Yuan's calm voice rang out. "How is your memory retrieval progressing?"
