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

"Secondly," he paused slightly, his tone becoming more serious.

"If you truly intend to use a declaration of war as leverage to force me to cooperate with you... please know that I, too, have been subjected to the intellectual scrutiny of you, and I assure you with dignity: under extreme circumstances, our mutual destruction is guaranteed."

"Oh? No wonder your security protocols are comparable to those of Screw Gum." Black Tower's expression was subtle, and he subconsciously glanced at Lin Yuan.

As if sensing the strange atmosphere, Laigushi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking again:

"There is a third point. As far as I know, conscience has played an extremely important role in your long life. Even if you go to great lengths to find a way to get past me, you will eventually give up on your own initiative."

He glanced at the two of them.

"The reason lies in the third destiny that binds Onphalus... Destruction. If you two ignore the warning and persist in your ways, you will shatter the shackles of a Great Lord of Annihilation. And its wrath will be enough to engulf the entire galaxy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

A moment later, just as Hei Ta was about to speak, Lin Yuan suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of her.

Looking down at the ancient scholar before him, Lin Yuan smiled and said:

"Now that Your Excellency the Omnic has found three reasons to persuade this lady, let's now consider how you will convince me not to destroy you along with the entire Onpharos!"

The new version is here! I'm off to gather material for the Two Realms Paradise. I wish everyone good luck with getting gold in their ten pulls. I'll get Himeko first.

Chapter 431 (One Million Reached)

"Now, how can you convince me not to destroy you and all of Onpharos?"

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, his tone was tinged with amusement, but Lai Gushi suddenly felt a strong sense of threat rising up.

He nodded slightly and began to examine Lin Yuan.

Although the other person's facial features were still blurry to his perception, those bright eyes left a particularly deep impression on him.

“Your Excellency is indeed extraordinary. But if I may be so bold…” Lai Gushi began calmly, “You cannot do it.”

There are many ways to persuade others, but the prerequisite is to understand the other person.

Although my understanding of you is not as profound as that of the distinguished lady beside me, being able to walk alongside such a genius is enough to glimpse some of your true character.

Therefore, the three reasons mentioned earlier also partially apply to you.

Lai Gushi paused, as if he was observing something.

“Of course…” he continued.

"I don't doubt your ability to do what you say, but I have only one reason to dissuade you: self-interest."

Destroying Onpharos will do you no good, nor will it benefit the galaxy; it will only lead to one outcome: the complete unleashing of the wrath of a Great Lord of Annihilation.

"Perhaps you are an agent of a star god, or perhaps you have never taken me seriously, or even fear a great lord of annihilation."

However, I assure you with the dignity and candor of a scholar: when you destroy Onphalus, the wrath of that Extinction Lord will destroy everything that exists.

This is not a metaphor, but a concrete description. This is not an outcome that human power can resist, but a predetermined one.

Lai Gushi bowed slightly: "That's all I have to say. You may make your own decision."

Lin Yuan's expression shifted slightly: "It is well known that there are seven Great Lords of Annihilation, but very few of them have never appeared in public."

If, as you say, there truly is a Great Lord of Annihilation here, then is it the elusive King Forged... or the unknown Iron Tomb?

Lai Gushi was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly:

"I have no comment, sir. Perhaps you can seek the answer yourself; I hope the outcome will satisfy you."

He bowed slightly and extended his hand in invitation: "But you will eventually understand that no matter what you do, all your efforts will ultimately be in vain."

Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged after listening.

He gently raised his hand and extended a finger towards Lai Gushi. Silently, a white light shone from Lin Yuan's fingertip.

Without a commotion, before Lai Gushi could react, the light engulfed his head, and in an instant, the headless machine slowly collapsed to the ground, motionless.

"You just..." Black Tower was somewhat surprised.

"I haven't finished asking yet. This AI guy must be hiding some big secret."

"Don't worry, this is probably not the real body, just a puppet. We'll meet again later, you should be able to tell," Lin Yuan said leisurely.

"Besides, we probably won't get anything out of them."

"Alright then." Black Tower shook his head helplessly.

"So what did you notice? This place and the people here are acting strangely. Also, why did this android guy change his mind in the end... and not stop you?"

"It's just a provocation tactic. From the very beginning, his refusal to let us in shows that he essentially doesn't want any external interference here."

But based on my threatening response, although he couldn't be sure if I could do it, he didn't want to take the risk, so he chose to let me go in and investigate on my own.

“Perhaps he has set a trap in this Onpharos to deal with us,” Black Tower mused.

"It's not impossible." Lin Yuan raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and his tone became serious:

"If what he said is true, and human power alone cannot shake this place, then the three paths of fate that shroud Onpharos may not be traces left by the messenger... but rather the work of the Star God."

"Knowledge, memory, and destruction." Black Tower's expression changed slightly.

"If Onpharos is truly a chessboard for gods to play against each other, then things are in serious trouble."

"Without a doubt," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The Astral God of Wisdom anchored the moment of the Iron Tomb's birth here to verify an answer;

A certain future star, the Pure Child, wants to spread the material of her memories throughout the universe along with the destruction of the galaxy;

The Destroyer Star God intends to end all knowledge here.

All three Star Gods have made their moves; destroying Onpharos is far more difficult than simply dealing with Lycus. Fortunately, he can now be considered a player, at least half a player.

Thinking this, Lin Yuan took a step forward.

Seeing this, Black Tower's expression shifted slightly: "What are you going to do?"

"An experiment, I want to enter this world full of secrets and see for myself."

“You… the firewall here is very complex, and that android guy is no simpleton either. How about I call for reinforcements first and let Screw deal with him?”

"If he wasn't lying, he might also be a Wisdom Envoy. However, Wisdom has its methods, and I have mine."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, a soft white light shone from his body, and he closed his eyes to silently sense something.

A moment later, he suddenly raised his hand and tore the empty space in front of him to both sides. With his movement, a narrow passage bathed in white light appeared.

“Ms. Black Tower, you go back and contact Mr. Screw Gum to work together to crack the outer firewall. I’ll go in first to scout things out.”

"Huh? You know his purpose too, aren't you afraid he's set a trap for you?"

What might be a trap for others is nothing to me.

"Wait a minute." Seeing Lin Yuan about to enter, Black Tower hesitated for a moment before saying:

"How about I come with you?"

"No need. Even if it's just a mental data entity, it can be considered a partial extension of my power. I'm fine on my own. Bringing another person along would make things less flexible."

"What do you mean? You think I'm too weak?" Black Tower shouted, glaring at him.

"That's not what I meant." Lin Yuan chuckled and turned to look at him.

“Ms. Black Tower, as an envoy of intellect, as a genius, this is not your responsibility.”

But as the guardian deity, this concerns the extermination of the Great Khan and the safety of the world; this is my responsibility.

Lin Yuan said no more, nodded, and then turned and walked towards the passage.

"Let me see the real Onpharos," he murmured to himself.

"Hey—why don't we check the situation first? It won't take long. Aren't you afraid you might not come back?"

"Then I'll just go and never come back... No, what am I afraid of as a mental data entity? Why are you making such a fuss? Anyway, thank you for your concern, Ms. Black Tower."

"Huh? Who cares about you!"

Lin Yuan laughed at the prank and waved to the black tower behind him.

He turned and stepped into the white light, disappearing from sight.

..........

The milestone of publishing the first million-word novel has been achieved.

My feelings are particularly poignant; even the indignation of getting 0+0 on 200 gacha pulls yesterday has been somewhat lessened (referring to the unfortunate Yanqing and Yanqing's exclusive weapon. Can Yanqing just quit this game?!).

Dear readers who have made it this far, I am deeply grateful for your support.

By the way, I'd love to see your support and encouragement for more updates. Thank you so much!

Chapter 432 The Pure Beauty Empire

The white light converged behind Lin Yuan, and his figure was rapidly descending, heading towards the interior of Onpharos.

In fact, Lin Yuan did not break through the firewall set up by Lai Gushi. Those fourteen-line algebraic formulas, the memory-encrypted environment, and the methods left to block Polka Kaka's observation were all like heavenly books to him.

He didn't know how these things worked, nor did he know where the back door was.

But Lin Yuan only needed to know that these things had material characteristics.

If there's no road, just break it open; it's simple and hassle-free.

Thinking this, feeling the resistance of the memory matter beside him, and the familiar sensation of star core contamination, Lin Yuan couldn't help but envy the nameless passengers on the train.

If one possessed the divine power of exploration, there would be nowhere in the heavens or on earth that one couldn't go; one could even stroll before the gates of the Star God.

Do we still need to endure the elements and travel such a miserable journey like he did?

Soon, as the chaotic matter thinned out, light seemed to shine through from ahead.

"Where will it land?" Lin Yuan wondered, a sense of anticipation creeping into his mind.

Is it the holy city of Ohm, the Garden of the Sacred Trees, or the Cloud Cliffs of Dawn? In any case, no matter where you go, you'll always see that towering Kefal.
