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

Jiang Jiu has cracked Lai Gu Shi's security protocol countless times; now he can break it even with his eyes closed.

"Should we release the memories again? Or should the entire coalition force come out?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "...It doesn't seem to be very useful; it only seems to have a slight restraining effect."

Black Tower paused for two seconds, then did not refute.

Because Jiang Jiu was absolutely right...

The Galactic Anti-Iron Tomb Alliance, under the Iron Tomb's attack, appeared as fragile as a piece of paper that could be torn apart at a single touch.

Even stellar-level combat weapons can be defeated in one hit.

This conventional method is indeed not very useful.

But someone always has to keep things in check.

"Having some checks and balances is better than having none. Have you thought of a specific plan?"

Chapter 241 Conclusion: The Point-Kill Game

"The specific methods..."

Jiang Jiu stared at the lines of code on the screen, skillfully cracking several layers of protection protocols before multitasking for a moment.

"Do you think that if Xing were present, Xi Lian would still freeze the entire universe and push for the end of memories?"

Logically speaking...

The difference between the original main storyline and this one is the disappearance of a variable from the end, namely whether Xing reached the final boss battle.

Now that the person has been sent back, things should be back on track, right?

But is this really the case?

Jiang Jiu turned around, met the gazes of Screw Gum and Black Tower, and calmly stated his thoughts.

"Yes, right?"

Screw Gum nodded slightly: "Logically, the cause and effect loop is not yet closed, proving that the final outcome still leads to an irreversible ending."

"Conclusion: The memory itself cannot be changed; it is not something that can be reversed simply by changing certain points."

It has to be said that Screws is indeed an excellent partner. It's not easy to find someone with the right values, excellent strength, and who can also help you in this crazy universe.

If it were just a matter of genius, Stephen and Ruan Mei could actually be of help given Black Tower's connections, but...

After being cleansed by memories, Heita felt that Jiang Jiu was kind-hearted; even if he just saw Ruan Mei, let alone cooperated with her, it would be a testament to Jiang Jiu's kindness if he could refrain from killing her.

As for Stephen... communication might be a bit troublesome, and we don't need his help unless we need a lot of technical support.

Actually, there's one more thing.

What they were dealing with was too dangerous; without the strength of an envoy-level official, they had virtually no right to participate...

"What a hassle," Black Tower grumbled.

Jiang Jiu leaned against the control panel, his mind racing through several key points.

Fu Li did not glance at the Pioneer. Even though he had changed the predetermined fate of the star, he still had not closed the cause and effect.

—Who delivered that oracle?

If the war of gods could be won, why would Xi Lian freeze the universe?

—What if we definitely can't win?

"Is the timeline a paradox of cause and effect from beginning to end...?"

Even after restarting twice, he was still completely clueless about the final outcome. He could only guess, and he could only guess at everything. Even though he now had more than one way to reach the Iron Tomb, he still didn't know if he could change the final ending.

very annoying.

"Question: Jiang Jiu, how did you reverse a predetermined ending on a timeline before?" Screw Gumu asked. "By changing variables in advance? By altering minor things that never led to changes in the future?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a few seconds and then shook his head.

"It seems... that's not it."

"That is?"

Screw Gum pondered other possibilities.

In a split second, he considered many possibilities, such as fine-tuning the causal chain, injecting interfering information at key points, or deflecting the trajectory of fate by influencing the decisions of key figures.

He analyzed them one by one, and then rejected them one by one.

Even if variables are changed in advance, the causal chain is far more resilient than imagined, and minor changes will be absorbed by the original trajectory.

Fine-tuning the causal chain requires anchoring each node; the slightest deviation will render all previous efforts futile, and the cost of anchoring... is the power of a star god.

Black Tower leaned against the lab bench, twirling a pen he'd pulled out of nowhere: "Screw, what do you think it is?"

Screw Gum paused for a moment, then guessed, "Perhaps it's about intervening at all the key points simultaneously, correcting all the variables at once before the law of causality can react?"

Black Tower raised an eyebrow: "Is that something a human would do?"

"No, so that possibility can be ruled out."

Following Screw Gum's idea, Black Tower thought for a moment: "Then why not just use the power of the Memory Star God to overwrite the entire timeline and rewrite it?"

Screw Gum's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "That requires the power of a Star God, and no one can verify whether the new timeline written is true."

Black Tower sighed: "Doesn't that mean we did nothing at all?"

Screw Gum shook his head.

It's well-known that members of the Genius Club have bold ideas, but bold ideas need to be backed by sufficient ability.

For example, if one possesses the power of the Star God of Memory, it is still unknown whether the timeline can be truly rewritten, and whether the Star God's authority is sufficient.

Hei Ta looked at Jiang Jiu.

However, this person seems to actually have the ability to intercept the power of the Star God, so this far-fetched idea may not necessarily be without feasibility.

"so......"

Screw Gumu turned his gaze back to Jiang Jiu.

"Jiang Jiu, how did you reverse the predetermined end line?"

"..."

Jiang Jiu sighed: "It's not that complicated, my method is very simple."

"Kill him by force."

The ScrewGum processor is running at high speed.

"Does 'forced killing' mean...?"

“The literal meaning.” Jiang Jiu shrugged. “Iron Tomb, Immortal Ship, Hunting Star God, Burning Wind, every single one of them, was forcibly nipped in the bud before it happened in the timeline.”

"Kill the thing that leads to the end, and the story will come back to life."

"Isn't that so?"

Screw Gumu stared at Jiang Jiu in silence for a long time.

His processor was probably running at full speed, trying to find logical flaws, impossibilities, and any room for rebuttal in this simple and crude solution.

He failed.

...Screw Gum thought it made a lot of sense. The king of Screw Star naturally began to think about who could change the timeline by killing someone.

Iron Tomb? Xi Lian? Star? Fu Li? Or the Learned Venerable?

—Is it really what you want?

Hei Ta also looked at Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two geniuses for several seconds.

"...Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Black Tower raised an eyebrow: "We're waiting for you to tell us who you're going to kill next."

"...Do you have some misunderstanding about my moral bottom line?"

“There’s no misunderstanding,” Black Tower said matter-of-factly, “it’s just curiosity.”

Jiang Jiu sighed and didn't reply.

He turned around and continued to crack the security protocol of the Legus, his fingers dancing across the keyboard, the code on the screen being broken down layer by layer.

Several stubborn protocols were patched the moment they were cracked, and then Jiang Jiu skillfully inserted a 360.

After thinking for a while, I added a bird wallpaper.

I've almost maxed out my proficiency with the Firewall of the Broken Pharos, a must-do project...

"Do you think killing Iron Tomb would be useful in this scenario?"

Screw Gum did not answer immediately.

His processor ran for a moment, countless deduction lines appeared in the logic matrix, and then he gently shook his head.

"Unable to determine."

"If the anchor of the end of memory is the Iron Tomb itself, then erasing it could indeed reverse the outcome, but the Iron Tomb is just a facade."

"Conclusion: If the death of Iron Tomb cannot change the course of the Endgame, then the root of the problem does not lie with Iron Tomb."

“So the Iron Tomb is just the surface, not the reason,” Black Tower replied.

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment: "Then what do you think the reason is?"

"Assuming that the fourth moment, as anchored by the Venerable One, is the birth of the Iron Tomb, the world after the Iron Tomb's emergence still heads towards its end..."

"That only means that what He is anchoring to is not destruction, but something further on."

Screw Gumu nodded slightly and continued Jiang Jiu's unfinished words: "The End of Memory."

The lab was silent for a few seconds.

Jiang Jiu turned around, leaned against the control panel, and looked at the two geniuses opposite him.
