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

"Wait, you don't mean to say that Xia Ke joined the Genius Club?"

Sai Fei tilted her head and waved casually.

"The Genius Club? He didn't get in. That guy put forward a lot of theories, but that Star God just ignored him. However, he made a friend at the Erudite Society, and they seem to have a pretty good relationship."

"What was it called again...?"

“Veritas Ladio,” Xi Lian replied with a smile. “I heard that Professor Anaxagoras recently developed something… well, I heard it’s quite amazing.”

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, as if keeping someone in suspense.

Saifei's tail immediately stood up, and she suddenly became energetic.

"Yes, yes, yes! That plaster-headed guy even came to see him in Onphalos. The two of them locked themselves in the lab and talked for three days and three nights. When they got together, they would say something vulgar or absurd all the time."

Bai E, holding a water glass, couldn't help but laugh: "Plaster head?"

“It’s that Latio,” Seifer said matter-of-factly. “He always wears a plaster mask and speaks with sharp and accurate words, but he’s actually a very nice person. Of course, don’t tell him that, or he can use a dozen different logics to prove that your statement is not rigorous.”

Jiang Jiu listened, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“So,” he asked, “what did Xia discover?”

Sai Fei'er blinked.

“Well…” she drawled, “I heard that he developed a device that can capture and solidify some kind of particles, what’s it called again… never mind, I can’t remember.”

"They say that as long as it runs successfully, it can prove that certain constants that have existed for three thousand years are actually variable. It sounds impressive, although I don't really understand what it's for."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and agreed, "It does sound very impressive."

“That’s right.” Sai Fei’er spread her hands. “The whole Bo Shi Society was in an uproar at the time. Even the company sent people to inquire, wanting to buy out the technology, but Xia Li ignored them at that moment.”

"And then?" Jiang Jiu asked.

“Then…” Sai Fei’er’s cat ears twitched, “He organized all the experimental data, theoretical derivations, and device drawings, and wrote a three-hundred-page paper, which was published in the world’s most authoritative academic journal.”

"Oh?" Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow.

“The most exciting part is yet to come.” Sai Fei’er leaned closer and lowered her voice. “When the paper was published, the entire academic community was in an uproar. Some praised it as a once-in-a-century breakthrough, some questioned the data fabrication, and some replicated the experiment overnight and found that Xia was right.”

She paused.

"And what was the result? That high and mighty sage still didn't even glance at him."

Xi Lian sighed softly.

"Master Anaxagoras was quite indignant about this..." she hesitated, choosing her words carefully.

“It’s more than just resentment.” Sai Fei’er rolled her eyes and began to imitate Xia’s tone. She deliberately lowered her voice and spoke with an intellectual arrogance, “I have exhausted all my knowledge, deconstructed the constants of the universe, and deduced the foundations of thousands of years, yet I cannot even get a glance from that mechanical head?”

"Ha, this so-called God of Wisdom is nothing more than this."

Bai E couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jiang Jiu leaned back on the sofa, finding the conversation increasingly interesting.

"What else did he say?"

Sai Feier cleared her throat and continued her imitation performance.

“Cough cough…” Sai Fei’er mimicked the academic contempt of that Ke Xia, “Bo Shi Zun is nothing more than an old computer that has been running for tens of thousands of years. Its computing power may be considerable, but its vision is very mediocre. My theory needs to be recognized by a machine to demonstrate its value? Absurd.”

"From this day forward, I will no longer look up to the stars; the stars will look up to me for what I do."

After finishing her imitation, Sai Feier winked at Jiang Jiu.

"How about that? Is that arrogant enough?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds.

Then he smiled, a very light, casual smile, but with clear appreciation in his eyes.

“That’s wild enough,” he said. “I like it.”

Bai E shook his head, his tone tinged with amusement: "Teacher Xia has always been like that. Back in Onfaros, he often... well, offered his unique insights on certain things."

“It’s more than just unique.” Xi Lian took a sip of tea. “She’s the kind of person who even dares to cricket at the Star God.”

Saifeier raised an eyebrow: "So, Genius, what are your thoughts on this?"

"What do I have to say? The people who created the Bo Shi Zun all want to kill him. What's there to think about?" Jiang Jiu laughed.

Saifeier: "...?"

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and casually said, "Actually, to get into the Genius Club, you not only need exceptional intelligence, but also, well... the ability to cause trouble."

"...That's a really insightful point."

Jiang Jiu didn't care much about this.

"What about the others? How are the other Golden Bloodlines doing?"

What will your future be like after you escape the cycle? Have you achieved your respective dreams?

"Oh, everything's fine." Sai Fei'er perked up as she spoke. "Let me think about it."

"The most impressive one should be Aya. She's now a world-renowned top luxury designer. The number of people who want to hire her to design clothes could circle Onfaros more than twice!"

"Xia Die is now a playwright. I heard that her books are always on hiatus. Once, a book was on hiatus for three Amber Periods. When she resumed writing, many people commented below, saying things like, 'Competing with the author to outlive her.'"

"Hassey is a well-known singer who recently collaborated with Robin."

As for Caesar...

When Saifeier mentioned Krydella, her tone became serious.

"She is an excellent monarch, and no one in Onphalus questions that she is the best. If it weren't for her, Onphalus wouldn't have been able to establish itself in the world so quickly."

"She was a very ambitious leader, but her ambition was never used to exploit her own people. Her ambition was outward. She wanted Onpharos to leave its name on the map of the universe and wanted the world to know that this civilization, reborn from data and reincarnation, was not just a product of some miracle, but a being that truly deserved to stand among the stars."

Jiang Jiu listened and nodded slightly.

"So she did it?"

“We did it.” Saifei’er’s tone carried a hint of pride. “The current Onpharos is no longer a nascent civilization that needs protection.”

“We have our own fleet, our own diplomatic mission, and the confidence to negotiate with the company. Of course, your friend Screws also deserves credit; he helped us make a lot of connections.”

Chapter 174 The Star God's Love and Hate...?

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand, listening to Sai Feier's description of the familiar yet unfamiliar future belonging to the Golden Descendants.

He couldn't help but recall his memories, even the death endings in the original timeline, and felt somewhat dazed.

—It turns out their future can be so bright.

—It turns out their future is so dazzling.

Some venture out into the world, while others remain in their hometowns.

Everyone is doing what they love.

"I remember not long ago, Caesar bought a planet full of oceans in his own name and gave it to Heather."

"These two, tsk tsk tsk..."

"And there's Sister Tibo..."

"..."

After talking for a long time, Sai Feier suddenly leaned closer and called out.

"Hey."

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment, then came to his senses and found Sai Feier standing right in front of him, her sky-blue eyes staring straight at him.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked. "Your expression is so complicated."

Jiang Jiu looked at her, then at Bai E and Xi Lian beside her.

“…It’s nothing,” he said softly, “I just suddenly felt—”

He paused.

"This line is really good."

Saifei tilted her head and her cat ears twitched.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Jiu stood up. "I'm leaving now; I have important business to attend to."

"Are we leaving already?" Sai Feier followed. "Aren't we going to continue talking? I still have a lot of embarrassing stories to tell."

"Let's listen to it later." Jiang Jiu didn't turn around. "There will be an opportunity."

Sunlight streamed in from outside the door and fell on him.

The moment he stepped out the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back.

Bai E, Xi Lian, and Sai Fei'er all stood still, watching him.

“Oh, right,” he said, “could you pass on a message to Na Kexia for me?”

"What?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment.

"I'd say... a world where someone can say something like 'the starry sky will look up to me' must be a good world."

He smiled.

"So, tell Teacher Xia not to forget to exercise regularly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted in laughter.

"Tsk tsk, that's really sentimental. Here, Jiang Jiu, catch!"

Saifei threw a gift box over.

Jiang Jiu opened it and saw a book and a box of chocolates.

"Hey?"
