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

Page 207

Xi Lian raised her head and looked at him.

"I beg you to stop me!"

In those pale purple eyes, there were tears, expectation, and a hint of cautious fear.

"Before I completely transformed into that Star God of Memories who only collects memories but doesn't understand why I collect them..."

"I beg you to stop me."

Jiang Jiu looked at her, at the person who had once told him in the golden wheat field of the Ai Li Secret Pavilion, "May this world never need a savior."

Now, she is begging him to be her savior.

She begged him to stop her from doing it herself...

"...Do you know how difficult this is?" Jiang Jiu asked.

"know."

Do you know I might fail?

"know."

Jiang Jiu was at a loss.

Xi Lian looked at him, a gentle smile on her lips: "But I still want to take a gamble."

I bet you can do it.

I bet you'll come.

Betting... on that person who, across countless timelines, repeatedly faces death, restarts again and again, and stands before the end time and again—

This time, I can stand in front of her.

Jiang Jiu sighed.

"But this is really troublesome."

Xi Lian smiled.

"I'm sorry?"

"But they really couldn't find anyone else."

......

As it turns out, the more clearly you lay your cards on the table, the more trouble you cause.

Jiang Jiu pondered for a while how to best salvage this situation.

Is the Iron Tomb destined to emerge? Then, is the God of Wisdom dead or alive? Will he be crowned, or was he killed before his coronation?

However, the answer comes with a little thought, such as the fourth moment mentioned by the God of Wisdom.

What was the deduction for the fourth moment again...?

The biggest variable is exploration, followed by knowledge. If the company is destroyed midway, the progress of the hunt is worrying...?

Is that right?

If we think about it that way, then the Iron Tomb is probably the Iron Tomb that is not yet crowned but is about to be crowned, and has the power to destroy the entire universe.

That's a really annoying answer.

This storyline is the one most similar to the main storyline, but the ending is completely different. So the question is, why?

Why can you kill Iron Tomb in the main storyline, but in this timeline you have to freeze the entire universe?

The more I think about it, the more I feel it's because something happened to one of our indispensable pioneers...

As for why he died, or rather, how he ended up dying, that's not something Jiang Jiu should be thinking about.

He's only responsible for changing the outcome, not for figuring out the cause and effect.

—So, is he going to die now?

Anyway, there's nothing else I can do if I stay here any longer.

At the end of memory, the whole world is frozen in the past, and the entire universe is almost dead, until the heat death of the universe.

Uh......

What else can he do? He can't exactly go and confront the God of Memory... wait a minute...

Wait a moment......

The Star God of Memory...?

He paused for a moment, then a sudden inspiration struck him.

Yes, the person in front of us is a star god.

What should you say when you meet a star god?

I'll go first!

“Xi Lian”.

Xi Lian was squatting in the golden wheat field, counting the petals of the ice-blue flower in her hand. Hearing this, she tilted her head and said, "Hmm? I'm here."

"I've got a great idea."

"!"

Xi Lian looked at Jiang Jiu, eager to see what kind of "good idea" he was talking about.

Jiang Jiu didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Now, look at me."

Xi Lian: "...? Glancing...?"

Jiang Jiu hummed in agreement: "Yes, glance at me, make me your messenger. There are no messengers in the memory, right? Then can you pull me to the level of the Pure Child of No Leaks when you glance at me?"

Xi Lian paused for two seconds, hesitated, then nodded, and then shook her head.

"Wait...you mean...?"

"If you become a Star God, you'll freeze the universe, so why don't I do it?" Jiang Jiu's lips curled slightly, a hint of madness in his eyes. "I'll become a Star God for you and help you suppress the Iron Tomb, isn't that a perfect solution?"

Xi Lian: "...?!"

Help! What should I do if my savior seems to have gone mad?

Chapter 227 Because You Are the "Seed"

Xi Lian froze for two seconds, then dropped the flower in her hand to the ground with a thud.

"What...what did you say?"

Jiang Jiu looked at her and patiently repeated, "I said... if you become a Star God, you'll freeze the universe, so why don't I do it? I'll become a Star God for you and help you suppress the Iron Tomb. It's the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

Xi Lian opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"What...what do you mean?" Her voice lost its usual gentle ease, replaced by an uncontrollable hint of panic. "Jiang Jiu, do you know what you're saying?"

“I know.” Jiang Jiu looked at her calmly, his voice revealing nothing but a hint of impatience. “Become a Star God, bear the consequences, freeze the universe, or not, it doesn’t matter, just finish this path.”

"It's simple. If you can't do it, then I'll try for you. Isn't that better for you?"

Xi Lian's pupils contracted slightly.

"Are you... insane?"

"Maybe."

Jiang Jiu shrugged, his tone relaxed: "Anyway, I'm already crazy enough, what difference does it make if I'm a little more crazy?"

Xi Lian stared into Jiang Jiu's eyes, momentarily stunned.

He really doesn't care.

He doesn't care about the cost, the cause and effect, or whether he himself can bear it...?

But this road...

"You..." Her voice trembled slightly, "Why did you do this?"

Jiang Jiu thought for two seconds, then gave a helpless twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Because... I'm a little tired."

Xi Lian was stunned for a moment.

However, Jiang Jiu did not dwell on this topic at all; on the contrary, he casually brushed it off.

"Don't you think what I said makes a lot of sense?"

As Jiang Jiu spoke, he briefly considered the feasibility in his mind.

"The essence of this line is not much different from the predicament that Onphalus encountered back then. The people inside cannot break the deadlock, so the cycle cannot be broken and can only wait for a variable."

"Then wouldn't it be better if I were to be the variable?"

I'm already tired enough, so it doesn't matter if I get a little more tired.

I'm already almost going crazy, so going a little crazier won't make a difference.

Anyway...

Jiang Jiu presented Xi Lian with the most feasible solution he could think of at the moment.

All she needs to do is cooperate, let go, and believe; that's all she needs to do to free herself from those despairing memories.

It's all benefits and no harm! Isn't that right?

Moreover, even if Jiang Jiu fails, the consequences will not fall on her.

She only needs to...

But Xi Lian remained silent, not speaking for a long time.

She remained silent for too long.

Jiang Jiu almost lost his patience.
