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

“That stuff is enough for the whole world.” His voice was soft, with a hint of laughter at the end. “Giving it to you would be such a waste.”

Black Tower raised an eyebrow.

"So you mean you're a star god to others, but just a human to me?"

Jiang Jiu blinked, then smiled.

"Yes, my Black Tower is indeed the smartest person in the world."

Hei Ta looked at him, at his amber eyes, which were clear and empty, containing only her.

She suddenly found it a little funny.

This person, who in the video would do anything to reverse the so-called final ending, is now telling her this in a serious tone.

Divinity is given to the whole world, humanity to you.

The whole world is not as important as you.

This feeling of being favored, this selfish feeling...it feels so good.

"The way you're saying that..." she began, her voice softer than usual, "is it like the whole world is trying to steal my man?"

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly.

"They have no right to compete with you for it."

"rhetoric."

Jiang Jiu laughed out loud, without refuting, but simply reached out and pulled the black tower closer to his chest.

Hei Ta didn't break free; she leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, steady and firm.

"So... are you still going to listen? Give me a kiss and I'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, Heita turned his head and gently kissed him on the cheek.

Jiang Jiu couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

"So...when?" Black Tower asked.

"Yes... from the moment I truly became worthy to stand beside you."

Black Tower: ?

"What kind of answer is that? Say it again."

“I said...you’re really beautiful, Black Tower.”

Hei Ta shifted his gaze from him, somewhat amused: "A Star God, resorting to cheating? Have you no shame?"

Jiang Jiu shrugged and didn't refute.

Whatever my wife says goes.

After joking around for a while, Hei Ta got a little tired. She pushed Jiang Jiu away and asked, "It seems your so-called second 'salvation' footage is nearing its end. Why did you release these things?"

Jiang Jiu leaned back on the sofa, squinted at the experimental table that was once again being favored by the Black Tower, and mentally made a deep grudge against the simulated universe.

Is it necessary to study simulated universes?

His voice lowered slightly, full of seductive meaning: "Why can't you ask me anything you want to know? What if I know everything?"

"just you?"

"..."

Jiang Jiu sighed and stopped dwelling on the topic.

"After the movie is completely over, will you come with me somewhere?"

"where?"

"Two-Phase Paradise".

Hei Ta paused for two seconds, then turned to look at Jiang Jiu: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the Star God of Joy?"

Jiang Jiu chuckled softly, "As expected of you."

......

The emotions in the video seem to lean more towards repression.

No one expected that the guy who was as calm as a god of death on the Immortal Ship would almost be killed by his own actions.

If it weren't for the fact that the vital signs on the device's display screen were almost zero, and if it weren't for the fact that the Black Tower had revealed the state of the patient, people might have just thought that the patient was simply tired and taking a nap.

Actually, although it was indeed absurd that he was unconscious for thirty-nine systems, he was still under treatment.

[Fireworks: A guessing game – what would happen if his vital signs dropped to zero while he was asleep?]

March 7th thought about it seriously for a second.

March 7th: They will be resurrected!

[Fireworks: My goodness, March baby, you're so smart!]

March 7th: ......

In the video, Black Tower asks questions slowly, word by word.

"Jiang Jiu, tell me, what is the last thing you remember clearly? It's not about the plan, nor is it the battle on the Immortal Ship."

"About yourself, for example... when was the last time you had a good rest? What was the last time you felt relaxed? Or..." She paused, "when was the last time you clearly tasted a certain food?"

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while, then... and then...

It's better not to think about it; you only realize it when you think about it.

...I can't remember anything.

He blinked and looked sincerely at Black Tower: "Hmm... if I told you that I really can't remember, would you... believe me? Maybe it's because these things are too small, and I haven't paid attention to them."

Black Tower nodded and hummed in agreement: "I've forgotten some of my memories. We'll discuss the specifics of how serious that is later."

"Do you have a problem with your sense of touch? Go get a full physical exam to see if you can still feel pain."

"......exist."

"It's fine as long as it's there; it would be a big problem if the pain disappeared."

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly: "Actually, I don't think it's a big problem?"

Seeing Jiang Jiu's nonchalant attitude, Hei Ta became inexplicably angry.

"Jiang Jiu, do you know what it means to walk the path of nothingness? It means you haven't truly experienced the price of self-destruction yet, so you think it doesn't matter?"

"The price that self-destruction pays is completely different from simple death. Others are afraid to walk the path of nothingness, so what is your attitude?"

Jiang Jiu waited calmly for Hei Ta to finish speaking.

"The price of self-destruction?" he repeated, shrugging. "Of course I've experienced it."

He even chuckled.

“Black Tower, you have studied destiny, so you should know better than me that nothingness is not a path you can choose how deep to go or where to stop.”

"Once your feet touch its edge, and you feel that most complete denial of existence itself... you can't stop."

"If you stay still, you will be swallowed up by the ever-expanding void behind you, leaving nothing behind. As for retreating... there is simply no way to retreat."

"You can only move forward."

Jiang Jiu twitched the corners of his mouth and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Of course I know that every time I use its power, I am going further and further down the road to nothingness, and the price is obviously clear and clearly marked."

"Then why leave?"

"You know perfectly well that with your intelligence, couldn't you find other ways to gain power? Why choose this dead end?"

"Because the void is the fastest and most effective way to acquire power." Jiang Jiu's answer was simple and direct.

[Topa: ...What do you mean by "fastest and most effective"?]

[Gold dust: This may refer to acquiring power sufficient to contend with the Envoy, or even the Star God, in the shortest possible time.]

[Topa: ...I feel like only a madman would seek power from nothingness.]

[Jade: The company's intelligence network contains records of "self-destructors." Their senses gradually diminish—taste, touch, pain... They forget why they are angry, why they are sad, why they care, and why they set out in the first place.]

[Jade: Then, at some unknown moment, it vanishes silently, as if it had never existed.]

[Pearl: Is it worth paying such a price to gain power?]

[Cang Gang: Whether it's worth it or not is not something we can judge.]

[Zhenzhu: Then who will judge?]

[Cang Gang: Himself.]

【pearl:......】

Zhenzhu felt that they perceived her as somewhat like a robot, but she was indeed thinking.

Humans are truly incomprehensible creatures.

Especially when doing things that don't benefit oneself at all.

[Gold dust: So our "savior" was committing slow suicide from the very beginning.]

Opal: Perhaps it wasn't suicide. As a genius in the Genius Club, he should have known better.

[Gold Sand: Well, I've now witnessed the madness of geniuses.]

Opal: ...Be careful what you say.

[Screw Gum: Based on the available information, it's difficult to say that he has an accurate grasp of his own situation.]

Unexpectedly, Screw Gum actually made a sound.

The ten members of Shi Xin paused subtly for a moment.

[Agate: I understand. This guy has no sense of proportion, he's a pure gambler, a gold digger. He'll probably have a lot to talk about with you.]

[Alluvial gold:....... 】

[Shuju: Then why did he embark on the journey into the void in the first place? Or rather, why did he take on the responsibility of saving the world?]
