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

Because of him, the void stopped devouring him after it touched him.

The power of nothingness gathered in his palm, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the surrounding mist dissipated completely.

The core hung before him, grayish-white and very small.

The last embers left behind by a planet.

If conditions are right, it may become a new planet again in billions of years.

Jiang Jiu stared at it with his eyes down for a long time.

The power of nothingness vanished completely. Due to weightlessness, the core was neither bound nor dissipated, remaining in place like an ordinary stone.

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds, then twitched his fingertips, and a branch from the bountiful land appeared before his eyes.

He stirred the branch, channeling all his power into the core.

He didn't know if it would work.

The power of abundance can bring withered trees back to life, can regrow dead flesh and blood, and can make a crushed seed sprout anew.

But this is a dead planet, a rock that has been reduced to just a tiny core of matter and can no longer be called a planet.

Jiang Jiu stared at the core for a while.

The power of abundance is still seeping in, but nothing has happened.

There was no light, no heat, no vibrant life force; the core simply hung quietly in the air, grayish-white and cold, like a block of ice that refused to melt.

He waited for a while, and then waited a while longer.

The power of nothingness had long since vanished, yet there was no reaction.

He looked down at it and suddenly felt a little stupid.

How could a dead star, a dead star whose life force he had personally extinguished with nothingness, possibly come back to life because of a little bit of abundant power?

He gave a self-deprecating laugh and prepared to withdraw his hand.

Then he heard a sound.

thump...

Jiang Jiu's hand paused slightly.

Then there was another sound.

thump.

Jiang Jiu took a few steps back.

The core hovered in mid-air, slowly rotating in front of him. With each rotation, it grew larger, and the grayish-white fragments peeled off its surface and drifted into the void.

One lap, two laps...

Then, step by step, you acquire the outline of a planet.

"The seed died, and then it sprouted."

"It doesn't even know whether the world has sprouted or not."

"Does every freshman have to die once?"

"Aha, I don't think so."

"If the end of destruction is the beginning of new life... then what about nothingness?"

Nihilism negates everything, negates existence, negates meaning, negates all traces of having lived, laughed, cried, and loved, erasing them one by one from the world.

In the end, what's left?

The self-destructer walks the path of nothingness, using their own life and their own will to constantly prove themselves to nothingness...

Its own, its "existence".

Nothingness itself exists.

If nothingness doesn't exist, then what is nothingness?

"So, is the end of nothingness... existence?"

"And what about the end?"

"..."

Jiang Jiu felt he should get a little excited, or perhaps he should have a sudden realization.

Or perhaps we should be like the protagonists in those stories who find the answer, laughing loudly three times, feeling either exhilarated or devastated.

But he did nothing. Looking at the newborn planet, he closed his eyes and then opened them again.

"Oh, I see..."

It's truly remarkable that so many Star Gods indulge in his folly, and even the Venerable Master of Broad Knowledge, upon discovering that he couldn't convince him, was willing to die once to show him.

The world is really...

A huge makeshift operation.

"system."

"exist."

"Is there any hope for this line?"

The system remained silent for a long time.

"Host, you already know the answer."

Jiang Jiu did not refute.

He already knew.

With his current strength, it's really unlikely that he can change the ending of this storyline.

No matter how the details of the past are modified, the several anchored time points in the future will all occur one by one.

It's impossible to kill the Iron Tomb without relying on the Void. Onpharos will inevitably fail internally, unable to escape the cause and effect, and then naturally head towards the end of memory.

Since the Iron Tomb is located in Onpharos' birthplace, the Void's intervention would inevitably prevent Onpharos from surviving, so it would naturally lead to the end of memories.

"Cause and effect."

Something that cannot be changed.

That's why this route is so incredibly difficult.

The matter between the Star Gods seems destined to be resolved only by them.

Whether it's called "Boshizun" or "Aha".

It seems like she's teaching him how to move forward.

Are they so sure they can do it? Just because they are seeds?

"System, restart the world line."

『......』

"The timeline has been restarted. Please select a new time and location."

"Selection complete."

......

The scene before my eyes flickered.

Jiang Jiu didn't linger elsewhere. He left some protective measures on Xing and then headed straight for the Narrow Passage of Fate.

This time.

He did not change any point in time.

Because it's not important.

The Trailblazers embarked on an unforgettable pioneering journey in Onphalos, ultimately launching their final assault on the Iron Tomb.

Whether or not he could win was no longer important to Jiang Jiu.

He stood before the Venerable Master Boshi at this moment, surrounded by an empty space, yet surging with an indescribable force of destiny.

Jiang Jiu is currently only a Commander, but the power of destiny surrounding him has already far exceeded the threshold of a Commander.

He raised his hand, looked at the Star God of Wisdom, and asked one last question.

"The all-knowing being, I ask you a question."

"—What is divinity?"

Chapter 261 Ascension to Godhood: "Existence"

Bo Shizun did not answer this question.

It's not that we can't, it's that we don't need to.

He does not need to answer a star god what divinity is.

He simply looked calmly at the person before him, waiting for him to find the answer he himself could give.

drop......

Beep... beep...

As Jiang Jiu looked up, Bo Shizun simultaneously lit up with a red light.

drop......

Master Boshi: "■■■■You already know■■■■"

Master Boshi: "■■■■From the first time you stepped into nothingness■■■■From the first time you refused death■■■■From the first time you believed something was more important than the whole world■■■■"

Master Boshi: "■■■■You already know■■■■"

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

His aura was changing, but he made no movement from beginning to end.
