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

Although Laigushi's face remained expressionless, I could see the shock and speechlessness in him; I doubt anyone had ever spoken to him like that before.

[That's probably still the case. Little White probably has a heart-to-heart talk with Lai Gu Shi during each reincarnation... well, you could call it a heart-to-heart talk?]

[Interesting, Jiang Jiu is so arrogant.]

[Why not be arrogant? Even if we take a step back, how could a Commander of Knowledge possibly be a match for a Commander of Nothingness? Besides, if Jiang Jiu wanted to quit, a casual strike would take even an ancient cultivator a long time to recover from, right?]

[I'm not that bad...]

[Laigushi is, after all, the father of the erudite monk, and also the GM of this region. Surely it's not that serious?]

Well... intelligence and strength aren't strictly proportional, but he's certainly not weak. We're not afraid of him, Jiang Ge, go for it! Don't spoil him!

Jiang Jiu shook his head.

Half of the viewers thought he couldn't beat Ragus, while the other half thought Ragus was no match for him.

In reality, they are unlikely to fight.

This scepter is used to train the envoys; if a real battle breaks out, the Iron Curtain will have to perform a dramatic revelation.

Lai Gushi wasn't that crazy. To him, a bunch of data was fine, but he wouldn't easily do anything to others, after all...

Jiang Jiu chuckled softly.

A genius with a conscience? They're truly rare...

“Your attitude is regrettable.” Laigushi shook his head slightly. “Your entry into Onfaros in this manner certainly exceeds my expectations, but for the stability of Onfaros…”

Lai Gushi's words were interrupted again.

This time, however, it wasn't Jiang Jiu who interrupted him, but Xin Biao.

Beep beep beep... beep beep...!

The beacon flashed faster, and a figure gradually took shape.

Lai Gushi instantly locked onto the figure. He quickly analyzed all the information about the beacon and finally focused his attention on Jiang Jiu.

"..."

He sighed and said helplessly, "So that's how it is. The beacon was just a decoy. The real anchor point is actually you yourself?"

Jiang Jiu shrugged.

"As the first seat of the Genius Club, I thought you would have noticed me at first glance. Well, I told you I was waiting for someone, didn't I?"

The Black Tower's spiritual form opened its eyes, its witch's hat perched askew on its head, giving it an air of arrogance.

She crossed her arms, glanced at the current situation, and then walked directly to Jiang Jiu's side.

"Who is this guy?"

Lycurgus introduced himself very politely: "I have many identities, but for now, you can call me Lycurgus."

Black Tower nodded: "Yes, Legus, I understand."

She gave a perfunctory reply and then looked at Jiang Jiu.

"So, what's the situation here?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "Not very good. This is indeed a world. Oh right, the one standing next to me is the administrator. This world seems to be bugged."

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Black Tower asked.

"Well, don't worry about that, that's just how it is."

Black Tower crossed his arms and his gaze fell on Silent Star.

"Huh? This thing has recognized its owner?"

Jiang Jiu realized that Black Tower was referring to his sword, so he took it out and drew it right in front of Black Tower.

"Yes, it's a bit strange that it suddenly recognized someone as its master."

Black Tower shook his head and chuckled softly.

"Not surprising."

As she spoke, she walked into Onfaros: "The Silent Star is originally a product of nothingness. Ordinary people who use it will not only be unable to resonate with this weapon, but may also affect the user."

"That's why so few people can handle this weapon, but you're perfect for it, so here you go."

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly, too embarrassed to mention what had just happened.

"Thank you then, Black Tower."

"No need to thank me, let's go."

Jiang Jiu nodded, and was about to follow Heita to explore Onpharos when Lai Gushi blocked his way.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, you can't go any further."

Chapter 30 almost gave me PTSD.

Black Tower paused, turned his head, and retorted directly, "Why should I listen to you?"

Lai Gushi politely stood in front of the two of them.

"Your reaction was exactly as I had predicted. Even after all these years, my calculations of human nature remain accurate."

His gaze fell on the two of them.

"Ms. Black Tower possesses a beautiful thirst for knowledge, while Mr. Jiang Jiu, your regret for life should not be directed at Onfaros. As you said, these are just some data."

“I didn’t say that,” Jiang Jiu retorted.

Lai Gushi shook his head.

"In any case, I kindly request that you return the way you came."

The Black Tower never falls for that.

She chuckled softly: "I'm already inside Onpharos, do you think I'll listen to you?"

Lai Gushi sighed.

"It is indeed unexpected that you two entered Onphalos in this state, but... if you continue to go your own way, you will only push the stars toward irreversible consequences."

The Black Tower finally stopped its actions.

Based on what Jiang Jiu had revealed to her before, and the calculations she made about the scepter before entering, the things nurtured within it were indeed not to be underestimated.

Lai Gushi also knew that Black Tower was a true genius, and that any concealment or deception here would be exposed.

"If you continue forward, the consequences will directly affect the third path of fate that binds Onphalus."

"destroy."

"If you insist on going your own way, you will directly break the shackles of an Extinction Lord, and his wrath... will engulf the entire galaxy."

Just as Black Tower was deep in thought, Jiang Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You mean, the Black Tower is just wandering around here in spirit form and will come out of the Iron Tomb? But I've been wandering around here for ages, why hasn't Onpharos shattered yet?"

Lai Gushi paused for a moment: "Your situation is special."

"Hey, hey, forget it, if you keep talking, your logic won't make sense."

Jiang Jiu shrugged, completely disregarding Lai Gushi's logic.

Breaking it... is impossible.

After all, in the original story, Changyeyue's strength was at the Quasi-Commander level. Later, Xiaobai, Xilian, and so on, each one was more powerful than the last, but Wengfaros did not collapse.

Furthermore, the Black Tower eventually broke through the firewall and entered Onpharos, and nothing happened.

This can be seen.

This is definitely something that Lai Gushi used to scare people.

It's easy to scare away a genius who still has a conscience and persuade the Black Tower to quit.

Hearing this, Black Tower probably understood.

She observed the surroundings and analyzed all the possible scenarios.

"So... the Great Lord of Annihilation is real, and the virtual data is also real."

She rested her chin on her hand, thought for a few seconds, and then turned to look at Jiang Jiu.

"Jiang Jiu, the flow of time inside and outside the scepter is very different. It's difficult to affect the scepter itself from the inside. Do you want to come out first?"

Jiang Jiu belatedly realized the problem.

Right, the Black Tower was a projection of a spiritual entity; I was truly in Onpharos.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"It seems like it's not easy to get out for the time being; the administrator next to me is blocking my way."

Is it that they can't go out, or that they don't want to go out?

[It seems like both are true. I'm a bit confused about what this guy is thinking. More and more interesting things are happening, Jiang Jiu~~ don't forget to interact with us!]

[Can you use a single strike to cut through enemies both when you enter and when you leave?]

[Yes! Kill!]

[Will cutting down the Iron Tomb again really bring it out?]

【kill!】

Stop killing me, or I'll kill you again!

Kill! Kill!

Lai Gushi still wore a faint smile.

"I'm sorry, but for the sake of data integrity, it's safer for Lord Jiang Jiu to remain safely inside the scepter. If you're tired of the long years ahead, I can take you to the audience seats."

What are you mumbling about...?

Black Tower ignored Lai Gushi and looked at Jiang Jiu, saying, "I already know the general information about this place. Do you need me to bring you back from outside?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head.
