Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"The Iron Tomb was ultimately designed to deal with the Learned One. Onpharos has cycled through more than 30 million lifetimes; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's the strongest being below the Star Gods..."

So you gave up?

"No."

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and laughed, "Next time I'll go earlier, so I can strike first."

【...】

[Call!]

[My main goal is to take you down one time; if I can't beat you now, I'll take you down next time.]

Jiang Jiuang let out a sound.

if not?

There is no obligation to fight to the death.

There's a question!

"ask."

Do you like Black Tower?

Jiang Jiu was stunned for two seconds.

"Black Tower?"

"drop......"

Jiang Jiu, who was still pondering, heard the system finally respond and decisively put aside his chaotic thoughts, focusing his attention on the system's electronic screen.

"Finally a response? Come on, let's announce the results."

"Ding, task completed."

The second timeline—the agate world "Merustan"—will see the pioneering train face a stellar roar, while the celestial vessel will witness the ascension of the eighth Annihilation Lord, ushering in the prelude to the divine war against the bountiful Star God.

Solution: Unite all forces across the universe to hunt down the Immortal Ship forces, instigate a divine war that will bring destruction to the Hunting Star Gods, demote oneself to the Iron Tomb, define the battlefield as the Third Imperial War, and drag it into nothingness.

"Analysis shows that this timeline indicates the global trend is returning to normal (with slight deviation)."

Task rating: S+

"Deviated? Where did it deviate?"

"The War of Abundance hasn't started yet, but the Abundance Hunting faction participated in the battle while dealing with the Immortal Ship forces, hence the slight deviation."

walk slowly.

Jiang Jiu was at a loss: "Fine, so it's okay if it deviates a bit, right? Don't say anything irrelevant, where's the reward? Where's the reward?"

"This project is driving me crazy..."

Based on the host's exceptional performance in the second storyline, a corresponding reward is now being issued.

Reward 1: [Concept Anchoring - Golden Echo]

“Concept anchoring…?” Jiang Jiu blinked. “What exactly is it? Why are you starting to use names that are so hard to remember? Just tell me the purpose.”

Based on the host's deep understanding and backup of the data related to the Screwgoom topic, and combined with the host's intention to "attempt to recreate the thirteen golden descendants of Onphalus," the system has bound the relevant "blueprint" to the host's soul.

This reward does not directly grant the ability to create, but rather provides the host with the possibility of anchoring and guiding a fragment of that civilization to reappear in a specific time and space under certain conditions.

Specifically, when the host is in an environment that meets the elements for the birth/revival of civilization, this anchor point can be actively activated, and corresponding resources (including but not limited to massive computing power, specific destiny energy, and rare materials) can be invested to guide the manifestation of the life concept with a relatively high success rate.

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds: "Including virtual life forms? That means that as long as there are enough resources and the source code exists, it is possible to reproduce the existence of life forms or even an entire planet?"

"yes."

Jiang Jiu crossed his arms and looked at the system with his legs crossed: "Don't tell me that's all the reward is. I'm not sure I can't handle reproducing Onpharos's life form myself."

"Besides, to put it bluntly, this reward has little to do with me. Next."

Reward Two: [Causality - Offset Trajectory]

"Given that the host has successfully pulled a worldline that should have veered completely towards the War of the Abundant Gods and the rise of the Eighth Annihilation Lord back onto a relatively stable, slightly deviated trajectory."

The system recognizes that the host possesses observational and corrective potential surpassing that of an "Executor." Upon unlocking this privilege, the host will receive one opportunity to modify the causality of the current worldline's future in the early stages of entering a new worldline.

"Causal modifications cannot be cumulative; resetting the world line immediately nullifies the changes. The scope of modifications includes, but is not limited to, the normal development lines of both predetermined and undetermined events."

Reward Three: Originally planned as a third destiny path, but due to the preemptive glimpse by the God of Destruction, please choose your reward carefully.

"Please choose one of the four paths of destiny: 'Mystery,' 'Memory,' 'Preservation,' and 'Abundance,' and acquire the corresponding power."

"...?"

Jiang Jiu looked at Reward Two and Reward Three and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, the second reward is not bad. Although I don't know yet how much the effect of the changed cause-effect line will be, I guess I'll get used to it after using it a few times.

Seriously, it would be so great if this kind of good stuff appeared in the first storyline...

As for reward three...

"What does 'choose carefully' mean? System, can a person truly embark on four paths of destiny simultaneously?"

He never even chose to embark on the path of pleasure, otherwise, given Aha's thinking, it would have been quite easy for him to do so.

Because he can really bring a lot of fun to Aha.

Jiang Jiu had thought about it himself, but the more paths one has, the stronger one becomes. Only by going far enough on one path can one acquire the corresponding strength.

"Please choose carefully, host."

Jiang Jiu was speechless: "What can I say? Do I have to choose to explode on the spot in the system space? If it really doesn't work, then we'll all die together."

The system remained silent.

Jiang Jiu said with dissatisfaction, "Even if we take a step back, can't you at least give me a balance?"

『......』

"Unification, I really want balance."

『......』

"Give it to me, give it to me! You won't lose anything by giving it to me, and it will make it easier for me to handle the timelines. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"

『......』

Seeing that the system showed no sign of wavering, Jiang Jiu was at a loss.

Okay then.

If the system dares to give it, he dares to take it.

"There are quite a few options... Preservation and abundance are essentially for survival, memory itself has no messenger, and what about the Pure Child of No Leaks, who is a Star God candidate? Are you sure that mystery and intellect won't clash?"

Jiang Jiu clicked his tongue. None of them would increase combat power. How was he supposed to choose?

Chapter 147 Bloodstained Spirit

Jiang Jiu pondered for a long time, analyzed the four possible paths, and finally decided to choose preservation.

Firstly, it's unrealistic to expect these four destinies to significantly boost combat power in the short term, so the only option is to investigate the existence behind these destinies.

After ruling out the memory and abundance of elbow strikes or elbow strikes along the lines of one or two, I really can't think of what use mystery would have, and it might even conflict with intellect.

Hmm... then let's just choose storage protection.

Maybe we can get the company to help us?

"System, can I choose this reward in the next timeline? I want to be glanced at by Amber King right under the company's nose."

"sure."

"The chosen destiny has been selected; rewards have been distributed."

Current mission progress.

The first timeline—the ocean planet "Lusaka".

Completed

The second timeline—the agate world of "Merustan".

Completed

The third worldline—the Glass Belt "Patrevinizia"—will see the pioneering train face an overwhelming army of annihilation, with black holes and white holes devouring each other, tearing apart the galaxy, and leading to its destruction.

Danger level: 95%

The fourth timeline—Onfaros... (not selectable)

Danger level: Unknown

"Please select the third world line you wish to reverse."

"..."

Jiang Jiu stared at the last four large, bright red characters, realizing he had no choice, and fell into deep thought.

"Did I really have a choice?"

The system paused for two seconds before repeating.

"Please select the third world line you wish to reverse."

Alright, the mentally challenged system.

"So, what is the fourth line yet?"

"Please select the third world line you wish to reverse."

Jiang Jiu was out of ideas.

It's as if he had other options besides the third route.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Jiu was about to open the third timeline when his finger accidentally touched something.

He froze for a moment.

It's a tiny doll, about the size of a palm.
