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

『......』

The system remained silent, simply obeying commands.

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, then said helplessly, "Let's raise the extreme values ​​a bit more..."

"Although I do dislike the bullet comments when I recall the past, this is indeed the best choice."

Jiang Jiu directly sealed away all his memories from the previous two great cycles. According to the calculation of cause and effect, if he had those things with him, the possibility of dying at the hands of the Void would be too high.

Since we're going to move, we need to find the optimal route for every special node.

In order for the mission to proceed smoothly, he even changed his own perception.

Why even change the perception that one is dead?

"Because I need to hate you, I need to give myself the determination to keep going."

Because if one knows that they have died a natural death, and then tries to gain the right to be resurrected, it is more like a feeling of regret and resentment, and the emotion of regret is calm and restrained.

But if I think I'm still alive, that life is still going on normally, and then it's suddenly abruptly cut off and forcibly taken away, that feeling is completely different...

It's not that I'm dead and want to go back; it's that I'm still here, so why should I die?

It was an instinctive anger and resentment, an emotion that was more intense, more frantic, more reckless, and at the same time... more persistent.

Chapter 265 Cause and Effect Connection, Aha Gets MVP

Based on this emotion, the effect of bullet comments becomes useful.

『......』

[Character Analysis of Commenters: Extreme, malicious, arrogant, and fond of Black Tower.]

"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't add that last one!"

Seeing Aha approaching, Jiang Jiu casually materialized the screen, letting Aha join in the fun.

Aha looked at what was on the screen and shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"This is boring! This is so boring!"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, and was about to explain something when Aha snatched the screen away.

His fingers moved across the screen so fast that Jiang Jiu didn't have time to stop him.

"Ugh, this is so boring!" Aha said with a look of disgust as he paddled. "Extreme? Malice? Arrogance? This isn't helping the little madman, it's just making things worse for him! Aha knows best: when someone is walking on a dark road, what they need most isn't someone to insult them, but someone they can insult!"

Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment: "...What?"

"Look at Aha!"

Ah's fingers flew across the screen, deleting and adding entries repeatedly, as if playing some interesting game.

[Character Analysis of Comments: Cheerful, Entertainer, Sharp-tongued, Arrogant, Likes Black Tower, Likes Jiang Jiu (but is stubborn), Enjoys seeing Jiang Jiu get the short end of the stick, Enjoys seeing Black Tower roast Jiang Jiu, Enjoys seeing Jiang Jiu roast Black Tower (and then get roasted back by Black Tower), Enjoys watching the drama unfold, Likes to spam "Hahaha" when Jiang Jiu is in despair, Likes to spam "Don't die! Who will entertain us if you die?" when Jiang Jiu is about to die, Likes to spam "If you're bad, practice more" when Jiang Jiu is actually dead, Silences for three seconds, then spams "Let's restart next game."]

Jiang Jiu stared at the densely packed entries on the screen, somewhat speechless: "...Wait, are you making bullet comments or writing a script?"

Aha didn't even look up: "Aha is creating art!"

He continued to stuff entries into it.

"I like to comment 'Who is this? I don't know him' when Jiang Jiu encounters a new enemy; I like to comment 'Get out of here' when Jiang Jiu can't beat him; and I like to comment 'That's it?' when Jiang Jiu can beat him."

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath: "...Aha!"

"Ok?"

Are you here to help me or to torment me?

Aha finally raised his head, his smile stretching to his ears: "Of course I'll help you! Aha is the best at helping people! See, see, isn't this much more interesting?"

Jiang Jiu stared at the jumbled entries on the screen and remained silent for a long time.

Then he reached out and took the screen from Aha's hand.

What is all this...?

Jiang Jiu deleted most of these things.

He originally wanted to delete everything from Him, but Ah was just too noisy.

After much editing and deletion, only the entry for "strong pleasure" remained.

[Character Analysis of Commenters: Cheerful, entertaining, sarcastic, arrogant, and a fan of Black Tower.]

Aha leaned over for a look, then shook his head in dissatisfaction: "This is so boring! Aha's 'hahaha' is so soulful!"

"Your 'hahaha' makes me want to punch someone."

"Hitting people isn't fun, hitting Aha is!" Aha chuckled and snatched the screen back, wanting to continue editing.

[Comment personality correction: The original text has been modified from "Joyful, Fun-loving, Sharp-tongued, Likes Black Tower, Likes watching Jiang Jiu get his comeuppance (must), Likes watching Black Tower roast Jiang Jiu (must), Likes to comment 'Don't die! Who will entertain us if you die?' to 'Don't die! What will happen to Black Tower if you die?'"]

Jiang Jiu's finger paused for a moment. He stared at the line of text for a long time: "...Keep this one."

Aha blinked: "Which one?"

"The one with the Black Tower."

Aha tilted his head to look at him, the smile on his mask suddenly becoming meaningful. "Oh—so that's what the little madman cares about, huh? Aha understands, Aha understands better than anyone!"

He added another line to the screen.

[Comment Personality Correction: Likes to spam "Oh—" when Jiang Jiu mentions the Black Tower]

Jiang Jiu: "...Delete it."

"I won't delete it!"

"Delete it."

"No, no, no! Aha won't delete it!" Aha hugged the screen to his chest. "This is Aha's art! Aha's masterpiece! Aha's—"

Jiang Jiu reached out and pulled the screen out of Aha's arms.

"Okay, stop fooling around."

These things were altered into a mess, but Jiang Jiu selectively kept some of them, still remembering his original ideas.

Once the details regarding bullet comments are finalized, the system will handle how to seamlessly integrate them into the existing framework, and whether further adjustments are needed.

He couldn't be bothered to care.

Aha said discontentedly, "Since you didn't take Aha's joke into account, Aha will definitely kidnap you to be Aha's servant! Aha will be keeping an eye on you from now on!"

After saying this, His figure vanished into the void, leaving only the mask floating in place.

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds. Was he being watched by the Star God of Pleasure?

That's really... thank you, Aha.

Regardless of how much help he has provided along the way, Aha is definitely a great contributor.

"Cause and effect is a strange thing."

"You can interfere with your past from the future, and the past that is interfered with is precisely what makes this future possible."

"Is this what it means to complete cause and effect?"

After doing all this, he raised his hand and unblocked the chat.

The screen lit up again, and the first line of text slowly appeared.

Hey, long time no see? Seriously? We've known each other for that long!

Jiang Jiu, you've finally come this far.

It's not easy, we're all watching.

Jiang Jiu looked at the words and suddenly smiled. It was a very light and brief smile, but there was a light in his eyes.

"Yeah, it wasn't easy."

"Thank you," He said softly.

In fact, there was only one question that Jiang Jiu never figured out in the end.

Why is he the only one allowed to walk this path? Why him?

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question, and the answer itself seemed less important.

"The rest is to complete the cause and effect of this line."

If the goal is simply to reverse this outcome, this storyline doesn't require covering many causes and effects, but it's not perfect enough. To achieve a perfect ending, he could even completely overturn this inevitable cause and effect.

For example, personally covering the fourth moment, anchoring the death of the Iron Tomb, and changing the end of the universe from the end to a new beginning.

For example, since Onphalus is anchored to existence, there is no need for Xilian to complete the cause and effect; he can simply rewrite it all.

With his movements.

The world, frozen by memories, began to melt, and the world was reversed to before the Iron Tomb made its move.

With the death of the Iron Tomb, everything returned to normal.

The universe will continue its search and struggle for survival.

But the stars will always rise up and embrace existence once again.

Chapter 266 Praising Existence

"Xiaobai! Xiaolian!"

A child's voice rang in my ears.

"Wake up! Time to get up!"

Xi Lian opened her eyes somewhat dazedly. Everything that had just happened was a little blurry in her memory. For a moment, she couldn't even tell what a dream was.

Bai'er stood in front of Tibo, smiling and saying something.

It's so lively around here.
