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

The Star God of Memory instinctively resists the taint of nothingness on any memory.

However, the next moment, a golden light appeared from nothingness.

The golden light emerged from the deepest part of nothingness, not by tearing or breaking through, but like the first ray of dawn, appearing naturally from nothingness.

Xi Lian knelt in the void, carrying those heavy memories, looking at the golden light, her pupils slightly contracting.

Nothingness is retreating.

The dark purple mist clinging to the edge of the frozen world seemed to be driven away by something, retreating little by little.

It's not dissipation, it's retreat; nothingness is retreating.

This realization shocked her more than anything else.

As the Star Goddess of Memory, she has seen the Void devour stars, seen the Void engulf galaxies, and even drag the entire universe into eternal darkness, but she has never seen the Void back down.

The golden light grew brighter and brighter, rising from the deepest void, like dawn, like daybreak, like the light that will surely come at the end of all darkness.

Xi Lian squinted, those heavy memories slipped through her fingers and floated in mid-air, the icy blue light spots scattering and gathering again, as if echoing that light.

Then she saw someone.

It wasn't a vague, fate-shrouded outline like a star god; it was... a person?

presence.

Xi Lian didn't know why she thought of this word, but she just knew that it existed.

No proof is needed, no explanation is needed, no one's approval is needed; simply being there is enough to make it dazzling.

The moment she saw the newborn star god, her self, which was about to be overwhelmed by countless memories, miraculously stabilized.

"Existence"

Xi Lian: "......!"

But, but, a star god born from... from nothingness? How is that possible...?

"The Star God of Memory, Fu Li, looked at you."

"The Last Star God, the Last King, looked at you."

Jiang Jiu stood on the boundary between nothingness and memory, surrounded by the last rays of several destinies. These destinies were intertwined and were eventually completely covered by existence itself.

He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the world frozen in memory, and finally settling on the newly born End Star God.

"Ding... The system has detected that the host meets the requirements for godhood. Congratulations, host, for comprehending 'Existence' and attaining the rank of Star God."

"To witness destruction in the end times, and to end the future after destruction..."

Jiang Jiu gently repeated the words that appeared in his mind and smiled softly.

So that's what it means.

He stepped toward the God of the End.

When he reached this point last time, his rank was only that of a Commander, so he was completely unaware of the birth of the End Star God.

I never expected things to come to this.

How lively it is here! If one more person joins, we'll have four.

Jiang Jiu walked forward calmly.

With each step, the void beneath his feet brightened a little more, and everything that had been frozen in time by memory, everything that had been destroyed and crushed, all lit up.

The Iron Tomb destroyed everything, and memories froze everything.

Now, all of this has been given new meaning.

As He continued forward, the figure of the End Star God became clearer and clearer.

He walked up to the End Star God, met the golden eyes of the End King, and slowly raised his hand.

"Although this is our first meeting, I still want to say something."

Jiang Jiu turned the clock to the end. With the absolute suppression and overwhelming power of destiny, He had a certain degree of control over the star gods on the side of existence.

"It's better if we never see each other again."

Jiang Jiu's fingers touched the final hour hand, the golden wheel suspended in the void, representing all endings, all ends, all... "the end".

The last king's golden eyes looked at him quietly, without resistance, struggle, or even a word.

He simply stayed there, obedient beyond belief. He always gave Jiang Jiu the illusion that, if it were possible, even the last king would want to help him back down.

"It's always like this. What makes you so sure I can do it?"

It is not a question.

The Last King did not answer, but His silence was the answer. In the end, He knew that everything was coming to an end, including His own.

Perhaps it was blind faith, or perhaps it was for other reasons.

Who knows?

Jiang Jiu gently pressed the clock hand with his fingers.

The wheel of time emitted a deep hum, and the ending anchored to death began to turn, loosening the future that had already been written and could no longer be changed.

The figure of the last king began to fade.

Starting from the edge, it disappeared little by little, but it did not resist. It just quietly watched Jiang Jiu, watched the clock hand being turned back, and watched the futures that were awakening from the end.

"Aren't you going to stop me?" Jiang Jiu asked.

The last king finally spoke. His voice was very soft, and although it was right in front of him, it seemed to come from a very far place.

Why should I stop myself?

Jiang Jiu's fingers paused for a moment.

He looked at the last king, at those golden eyes, and suddenly felt like laughing.

Yes, He never intended to end things that shouldn't end. It was the future that led to the end, not that He chose the end.

Even the End itself wanted to stop the End.

Click.

click -

As the ticking of the clock gradually faded, the figure of the finality slowly disappeared into the end of memory.

Jiang Jiu then turned his head to look at the Star God of Memory.

"Now... I will cover all the anchor points and rewrite the end at the end of time."

Chapter 262 The Incomplete Cause and Effect

(Note: For ease of reading, the terms "He" are not used to distinguish between Xi Lian and Jiang Jiu unless there are special circumstances. I checked for you, as it is a bit easy to get them confused.)

"Cover all anchor points...?"

Xi Lian looked at Jiang Jiu, at this newly born Star God, and was momentarily lost in thought.

"This is difficult, isn't it? A predetermined ending, a fixed world line..."

As the Goddess of Memory, no one knows better than her just how difficult it is to cover up these things.

But Jiang Jiu didn't pay any attention to her.

He slightly raised his fingertips, and the memory of Xi Lian pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe, was suddenly isolated.

She stared at Jiang Jiu in a daze, but the latter only glanced down at the materialized memories, and then the memories turned into a sky full of stars, shattering into specks of starlight, falling into the frozen universe.

"No need for that."

"Memories don't need to be borne by anyone; they just need to exist."

Xi Lian blinked, staring at the scene for a while before realizing what Jiang Jiu was doing.

Jiang Jiu walked past her without glancing at her again.

Xi Lian instinctively wanted to say something: "Jiang..."

“You were the one who begged me to stop you.” Jiang Jiu calmly interrupted Xi Lian, his tone flat and devoid of any emotion. “Now that I’m here, you should trust me unconditionally.”

Xi Lian subconsciously placed her hand on her heart, watching the power of destiny spread out, and the memories that had been pressing down on her and almost swallowing her up were gradually taken away from her.

Each memory falls upon a soft glow, like snowflakes landing on a warm palm, melting quietly and shining silently.

Those memories she had carried countless times were so casually taken over, and Xi Lian suddenly felt her eyes sting.

Xi Lian watched his retreating figure, watching the golden light grow farther and farther away, and suddenly smiled.

"Thank you." Her voice was very soft, almost inaudible, but Jiang Jiu paused for a moment.

He didn't turn around, but simply nodded slightly, and continued walking forward.

For Jiang Jiu, returning all his memories was not difficult.

It wouldn't be too difficult to overwrite the original anchor point and rewrite the fate of the world line.

The very existence of the entity itself is already a powerful force that cannot be ignored in its intervention in cause and effect. In the face of the end, the anchor points carved by the star gods of the existence plane will not resist much, and the star gods of the nothingness plane will not stop him either.

It would be good to rewrite part of one's fate.

As for what he would have to give up, that was not within Jiang Jiu's consideration, because whatever it was, it didn't really matter.

As his hand traced the river of time, preparing to modify the first cause and effect, he paused slightly.

"...What is this? An incomplete cause and effect, mine?"

Jiang Jiu blinked, and when he touched these things, some strange yet familiar memories appeared in his mind.

......

[Ding—System activation successful, now bound to host Jiang Jiu.]

The system space was blank, with a blue screen hanging in front of you, which was the system's display panel.

Apart from that, there was nothing there.

Jiang Jiu, who had just arrived here, stared blankly at the screen in front of him, looking utterly shocked: "Huh? I've traveled through time?"
