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

I vaguely remember a saying... there's a fine line between genius and madness.

[The genius is on the left, the madman on the right.]

[Yes, yes, is Lady Black Tower like that too? Can she go crazy and bully me mercilessly?]

[...Don't even try to get involved. Our Lady of the Black Tower is the most conscientious genius in the world.]

Okay.

It's been a while since I've seen the Black Tower, but I should see it soon... After all, Jiang Jiu probably won't be staying in Onpharos anymore.

Why not give it a shot? What if things go wrong?

[It just goes to show how authoritative our Trail Blazers are...]

“Laigushi, I remember... Xilian’s soul was sealed inside the ritual sword by herself, right? What would happen if I released her beforehand?”

Lai Gushi shook his head.

"Nothing will happen, Your Excellency. The best outcome is that Caislana remembers everything and starts the cycle again with Xilian."

Jiang Jiu pursed her lips: "What's the worst possible outcome?"

"The cycle of reincarnation is broken, and the Iron Tomb is born."

Jiang Jiu sighed, gazing at the distant place filled with laughter and merriment, momentarily at a loss for words.

Was it expected? Or was it something we had no choice but to accept?

Jiang Jiu felt a little tired, not knowing.

"Although I don't know how you know this, I don't mind sharing this lie about re-creation with you."

Jiang Jiu followed Lai Gu Shi and walked a few steps forward.

He saw several children surrounding Bai E, and he was laughing happily with them.

"Re-creation... is not a lie."

Lai Gushi remained noncommittal: "Of course not for them. They only need to come forward and accept the gaze of the Star God, and the future will still be bright for them."

"pity......"

Unfortunately, that wasn't the future they wanted.

"So... the important thing isn't chasing fire, nor is it recreating the world; the final question is how to destroy the Iron Tomb, right...?"

"Beep... The first worldline mission is over 50% complete. Destiny selection: Please choose between 'Intelligence' and 'Memory' and acquire the corresponding power."

"Fifty percent? Intelligence and memory? Get this straight, you want me to fight Iron Tomb head-on without giving me the corresponding strength, and you want me to study intelligence and memory? Are you kidding me?"

Feedback has been received; no errors were found.

"Please choose your path, host."

Jiang Jiu clicked his tongue, a little annoyed.

It's already annoying when the clues go cold, but now two useless destinies are making it even more annoying.

What use are memories? If the power is still at the level of an Envoy, it can't change Onfaros's current situation, unless he can be directly transformed into a Star God, so that he can directly kill Iron Tomb for Xi Lian.

It really is...

"This is the strength of an Envoy. Please choose carefully, host."

[Well, although I know Jiang Jiu is extremely agitated right now, Lai Gu Shi is already rubbing his chin and studying him.]

Do you think he might find out about us?

At most, I think people would think Jiang Jiu is crazy.

That's very realistic.

[Hehe, Jiang Jiu, select the memory. I want to peek into Lai Gushi's memories. I'm curious, he created a machine head and ran away, created a clone and ran away again, and nothing he creates ever listens to. I want to know if he's born rebellious?]

Great idea!!!

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Jiu came up with a possibility.

What if intelligence can provide a solution?

"Intellectual knowledge, that's it. I really can't think of how to use memory."

"The host has chosen the path of wisdom. Due to the special location of this place, the Venerable One of Wisdom has already cast his gaze upon you."

Jiang Jiu turned his head, his pupils turning blood red from a distant streak of red light.

Master of Broad Knowledge: "..."

The star god's glance lasted only a brief moment.

So brief that it can leave one in a moment of disorientation.

Jiang Jiu lowered his gaze and subconsciously raised his hand to press his brow.

...What a wonderful feeling.

Lai Gushi stood to one side, and the computer almost started smoking from calculating.

No... how did he become a Commander?

"What...did you do?"

"none of your business?"

After Jiang Jiu retorted, he took a deep breath, and a series of crazy and audacious ideas began to form in his mind.

He finally understood how those geniuses' brains worked... they were simply inhuman.

Lai Gushi was unwilling to give up and wanted to ask Jiang Jiu what had happened. How could a Void Envoy, who hadn't even embarked on the Path of Wisdom, inexplicably be promoted to Envoy?

Although the glimpses of the stars are always irrational, surely wisdom needs at least some trigger?

There aren't many things that can confuse Ragus, but this one intrigued him.

Thousands of calculations yielded a result with a probability of 0.

"Lord Jiang Jiu...you..."

Lai Gushi had just opened his mouth when Jiang Jiu coldly interrupted him.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Be careful, or I'll dismantle you and study how this robot was made."

Laigushi remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again.

“I remind you again, Your Excellency, that now that you have become the messenger of wisdom, you should be even more aware that it is difficult for you to leave Onpharos now.”

Jiang Jiu shook his head.

“Threats are useless. If I weren’t afraid of releasing the Iron Tomb directly, I could have easily shattered this scepter with a single sword strike. Of course, you can take your time to assess whether I have the strength to do so.”

Lai Gushi nodded: "I have no doubt about your strength, but you are also wary of the yet-to-be-born Annihilation Lord."

"You have no other choice."

do not know why.

Perhaps because he had become a Wisdom Envoy, he now felt a little amused by Gu Shi's words.

"System, redeem one time rewind."

Chapter 37 How worthless is suicide?!

Exchange successful. Trigger condition: death.

Jiang Jiu: "..."

Jiang Jiu had initially wanted to laugh at Gu Shi, but now he couldn't laugh anymore.

He held the lonely star in his hand, unable to help but frown.

"...Why is the trigger condition death? What's the difference between that and mission failure?"

Yes, I have some brothers.

Failed missions usually reset your progress, but this one doesn't; it's quite useful.

Hehe, you're scared.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If you're scared, you can cry in front of me, and I promise I won't record it.

[Hmm, actually you wouldn't watch if he showed any weakness, right?]

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the almost cruel and insane thoughts that arose in his mind due to his intellectual destiny, and refocused his gaze on Lai Gushi.

If death is inevitable...

Why does it have to be suicide?

So worthless...

If death is an inevitable turning point... then let it be a fitting end.

His dark eyes were tinged with a sinister purple, and his gaze fell on Lai Gushi, as if scrutinizing him or calculating him.

Lai Gushi suddenly couldn't quite figure out Jiang Jiu's thoughts.

"Lagushi, are you saying I have no other choice?"

Jiang Jiu suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent a chill down the spine of even the core processor of the Rigol: "Did your computer tell you what my next step would be, based on the optimal solution it calculated?"

Lai Gushi's mechanical face was expressionless, but there was a hint of caution in his voice: "What do you want to do, sir?"

"Not doing anything."

Jiang Jiu shrugged, looking relaxed, with a faint smile in his eyes.

However, this smile carried a hint of inexplicable madness.

"I just wanted to test an idea."

He walked slowly to Lai Gushi's side, toying with Ji Xing in his hand.

"You said I'm afraid of the Iron Tomb appearing... Well, you're not wrong, I do have some concerns, but..."

He paused, then flicked his wrist, and the Lonely Star Sword emitted a low hum, its tip pointing towards the distant statue of Carver.
