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

[Yao Guang: Judging from Luo Sigu's explanation, that's indeed the case.]

[Yao Guang: The boundaries of knowledge will inevitably be broken. Perhaps this is not a problem for any one person, but an inevitability of the entire destiny.]

[Yao Guang: ...Geniuses really don't care about the lives of ordinary people.]

(Thank you everyone for the little gifts~ Bonus chapter for gift-giving, 10,000 words today~)

Watching a Movie (47) - You mean our savior is nineteen years old?

[Huanlong: Tch~ You talk like you're some kind of saint.]

[Star Howl: If it were me... I would probably choose to take out everyone who gets in my way.]

[Star Howl: What do I care if the boundaries of knowledge are broken? Just kill them one by one, isn't that enough?]

March 7th:.......

[March 7th: See? No wonder, though both are Great Lords of Annihilation, one is a savior, and you aren't.]

[Star: Exactly, exactly! They don't care about the future of the universe at all.]

Xingxiao glanced at the comments on March 7th's screen and tilted his head.

A galaxy was reduced to dust by the catalysis of its star core. She sat on the doomsday beast, her eyes lowered.

[Xingxiao: What right does he have to care so much?]

The comments section was filled with conflicting opinions, yet the video itself was strangely harmonious.

Unexpected.

The two, who almost always started fighting without saying a word whenever they met, simply fell silent.

Jiang Jiu knew he had come to the wrong era, and for a moment he couldn't quite describe his feelings.

A brief silence fell over the room.

Lai Gushi even poured Jiang Jiu a cup of tea in a good mood; the tea was clear and still steaming.

“This is Jingyuan Moss Mark,” Lai Gushi’s voice was calm and emotionless. “It was sourced from a famous tea-producing planet. Its leaves must be picked under specific phases of moonlight and go through seventy-seven purely manual processes. The final yield is less than three per thousand.”

"The taste is said to be... refreshing like the first snow melting, always leaving tasters with a lingering aftertaste. Would you like to try it?"

After the introduction, Lai Gushi quietly looked at Jiang Jiu, seemingly waiting for his evaluation.

Jiang Jiu listened quietly, stared at the cup of tea for a few seconds, then looked at Lai Gushi and gave a helpless, unsatisfying smile.

"Thanks, but I can't taste the flavor, so even the best tea would be a waste."

Legos paused for a few seconds.

I don't quite understand.

“It’s one of the consequences of self-destruction, which is quite normal.” Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and swirled his teacup. “I don’t know anything about the etiquette at the tea table, so please don’t take offense, senior.”

"In my eyes, no matter how good the tea is, it's not as good as strong liquor."

Lai Gushi nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

[Topa: ...The price of self-destruction?]

Zhangzhang curled up at her feet, making soft humming sounds. She glanced down at Zhangzhang, then looked up at the screen.

[Topa: He's getting more and more casual about it, like... like he doesn't care at all about losing his sense of taste.]

[Gold dust: Perhaps it is for him.]

[Gold dust: After all, whether we can survive or not is not important; does it even matter whether we can taste it?]

[Topa: That's not what I meant.]

Topa frowned; she didn't know how to express her feelings at that moment.

[Topa: I just feel... what's left of a person if they don't even have the most basic right to taste?]

Gold dust: Quite a lot.

[Gold Sand: He has a chance to try and fail, he has a sword, and... the doll given to him by Lady Black Tower?]

[Emerald: placer gold. 】

[Gold Sand: Just telling the truth, what did I say wrong?]

[Jade: Not all truths are suitable to be said on public channels.]

Sand Gold shrugged.

[March 7th: Hmm... In a sense, these two are sitting here with a world-class beverage in front of them, but neither of them can taste it...]

[March 7th: A self-destructive entity that cannot be tasted, an omnipotent machine that needs no tasting, and a cup of fine tea that will never find a connoisseur...]

[Star: Tea is so pitiful.]

[Star: I bet this is a good cup of tea.]

In the video, Jiang Jiu watched the tea in the cup gradually stop steaming and suddenly chuckled softly.

“That’s interesting,” he said. “Actually, I could kill you first, and then wait until the future to see if the other geniuses you mentioned exist, and if so, who they are.”

"So why did you change your mind?"

"Because of conscience."

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and calmly praised himself: "Because I still have some conscience for now, and because the boundaries of knowledge really need to be broken. If it's not you, it will be someone else."

He thought for a moment and then said.

"Alright... I'll build it for you. Once it's built, I'll have the Venerable Master anchor it before I take it down."

"Tell me, when do you plan to start? What preparations are needed? Shall we go find that Imperial Scepter first?"

Laigushi was silent for a few seconds, then asked hesitantly.

"...What are you going to build?"

Jiang Jiu also remained silent for two seconds.

Several key points flashed through his mind: it was the time of the First Imperial War, and whether the Anti-Life Equation had been proposed was another matter.

The Star God of Destruction has not been upgraded, and the concept of the Great Lord of Annihilation does not yet exist.

After thinking these two points through, Jiang Jiu looked at Lai Gushi again.

"...Senior, I'm inexplicably a little angry right now. Why don't you just die first?"

Laigushi: "..."

[Bluebird: Are you being polite?]

[March 7th: Ah... We were just chatting so well a moment ago, why is it about to be cut again? This emotional fluctuation is too fast...]

[March 7th: What's that word again...? Right! Moody!]

[Star: Take it easy, it's okay. It's just that I remembered the other person is from the Ancient Era, I just don't like this guy.]

[March 7th: What do you mean by simply disliking this guy...? It seems Gu Shi is stunned and can't tell who the villain is for a moment.]

[Star: So what? It's not like he hasn't tried to cut before.]

[Sambo: Tsk tsk tsk, look at this, is this something a human being would do?]

[Sangbo: Someone kindly invited you for tea, chatted about life and ideals, and even finalized a cooperation agreement, but then turned around and wanted to cut ties with the partner. This guy's temper is truly not to be admired.]

[Fireworks: You want to get chopped up too?]

[Yu Kong: What are you all talking about... This isn't cooperation, it's clearly one-sided coercion. Lai Gu Shi simply didn't have the right to refuse.]

[Tingyun: Although it sounds a little unreasonable, I think his last sentence, which sounded a bit angry, didn't sound like a joke; there was some genuine emotion in it.]

[Estella: It's understandable that he's angry... After all, that Iron Tomb is really dangerous, and Rigus was the one who started it all, so isn't it normal for him to be angry? I just didn't expect him to show it so directly...]

Clara: So, does he...do he really hate that person?

Clara: They had just decided to cooperate, but then they said they wanted to kill him... Clara didn't quite understand, but that android didn't seem like a particularly bad person...

[Seele: Kids, don't look.]

[Yun Li: Why are you feeling sorry for the villain? It's not about whether he's bad or not! It's about the potential threat! That robot is like a sharp blade placed next to a child's pillow. Maybe it won't hurt anyone now, but its very existence is a threat!]

[Ling Sha: Oh dear, shouldn't we be lamenting at a time like this? Two people who were sitting down to drink tea and chat just a second ago are now thinking about how to kill each other.]

[Ling Sha: Is this how geniuses socialize? Or is it a mutual appreciation among geniuses?]

Himeko: Perhaps both.

[Himeko: They are both well aware of each other's positions and threats, and they both know that the other will not change their ultimate goal just because they "get along well." Under these circumstances, being able to calmly drink a cup of tea is already a great deal of patience.]

[March 7th: They really do appreciate each other, huh?]

As it turned out, Jiang Jiu was indeed somewhat dissatisfied.

Lai Gushi didn't care and paid little attention to Jiang Jiu's occasional remarks about wanting to kill him.

He somehow found a bottle of strong liquor and presented it to Jiang Jiu when Jiang Jiu was slacking off.

Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow.

"I was just saying, and you actually have it?"

Just as Jiang Jiu reached out to grab it, Lai Gushi pulled his hand back.

Are you an adult?

"......ha?"

[March 7th: Huh? Is it possible that he's still underage?]

[March 7th: No, if he wasn't an adult, what did he do in the footage? One against four? Fight the Immortal Ship? Kill the Star God? Go after Onpharos? An underage kid?]

[Star: Oh no, an underage savior sounds even more exciting.]

[March 7th: Can you please stop finding everything so exciting!]
