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

In fact, they are all open.

[Just kidding, the destruction wasn't that excessive. What's excessive is the mechanical entity nurtured by over thirty million lifetimes of memories—that's over thirty million reincarnations.]

Jiang Jiu shook his head.

"Forget it... the risk is too great, let's not consider it for now."

The temptation to directly listen to the whispers of the Star God is indeed great, but one wrong move and all your efforts will be in vain.

It's worth considering, but not now.

He ultimately turned his attention to the [crystallization of existential paradox].

This thing seems a bit safer.

"A contradiction exists..."

It can be installed on a lonely star or used by oneself; so far, it seems pretty good.

"Okay, this is it. Exchange for the [Existence Paradox Crystal]."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale purple crystal appeared in front of Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu held it in his palm and examined it for a while, subconsciously mobilizing his intellectual power to analyze the composition of this thing.

Hey hey hey, new toy! I love it!

[This thing looks so eerie! It shouldn't be here; it should be in a mass grave, hehe.]

[Jiang Jiu is quite bold, he just went ahead and touched her! What a paradox! Aren't you scared?]

[Don't forget we've already used the cheat code, what's there to be afraid of with two Commanders? Besides, this is something without a predetermined destiny, what's the big deal?]

Alright... so what's next? Secluded cultivation?

【This is not the world of cultivation, fellow cultivator, you've come to the wrong place.】

Oh... does that mean eat it?

"Jiang Jiu."

Black Tower's voice suddenly interrupted Jiang Jiu's thoughts.

She looked at what Jiang Jiu was holding and raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing? Could it be that you've finally come to your senses and are going to join the Self-Destructionists?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head, and seeing that the Black Tower seemed to want to get closer, he put the things away.

"You'd better stay away from this thing a little. Don't be curious about everything."

Black Tower crossed his arms and took a step back.

"You know this thing is dangerous, so why did you come into direct contact with it? Do you think it won't work on you?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at the black tower for two seconds and couldn't help but smile.

"Is Senior Black Tower worried about me?"

Black Tower said irritably, "I'm just afraid that my allies will kill themselves before they even start to exert their strength."

This thing will not only have no effect on Jiang Jiu, but on the contrary, it will have an even greater effect.

It doesn't matter.

This is exactly the effect Jiang Jiu wanted.

"Black Tower, do you know... how to go further down a path of destiny in a short amount of time?"

Chapter 42 One of the quickest ways, despair?

Black Tower rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"What, you want to become stronger in a short time? Let me tell you the truth, the chances are very slim."

Jiang Jiu shrugged: "We have to try, even if it's low."

Black Tower became even more curious.

"Jiang Jiu, I've never quite understood why you seem to have such a high level of interest, or even an obsession, with Onfaros, or rather, the Iron Tomb. Why is that?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiang Jiu actually felt somewhat helpless.

Is he interested in Onphalus?

He didn't want to go against the Iron Tomb either...

The problem is, to get the timeline back on track, this menace must be dealt with.

Otherwise, either the Iron Tomb will wipe out half the galaxy, or the Black Tower will step in and escalate this disaster to the level of the Imperial War.

Because as long as the level is set at Imperial War rather than World War II, there is a possibility that this disaster can be resolved.

It just takes a little more effort.

Pay a higher price.

"Just assume I'm bored."

Black Tower withdrew his gaze and said with dissatisfaction, "Fine, don't talk about it if you don't want to. I don't want to hear it anyway."

Jiang Jiu smiled helplessly.

"It's not that I can't tell you... it's just that the reasons are too complicated. You'll find out eventually."

Hei Ta squinted at him for a few seconds, then turned away.

"Alright, you seem to have recovered quite a bit. Come here, let's talk about Onpharos."

"Didn't you say the situation inside was terrible? I just tried to hack into Onpharos using the anchor point you gave me, and guess what I saw?"

"What?" Jiang Jiu pressed.

Black Tower raised an eyebrow: "I'm not telling you."

Jiang Jiu: "...?"

Where is my aloof, arrogant, and invincible Black Tower?

Who hid it from me?!

Ruan Mei calmly said, "The Black Tower just contacted Lord Screw. They connected remotely, and he should be here soon."

Jiang Jiu paused for a few seconds, then sighed.

"With three geniuses working together, it seems this can be accomplished no matter what."

"Four."

While Black Tower was sending messages to Screw Gum, he was also refuting Jiang Jiu.

"Don't forget you are too." She glanced at him sideways and continued texting ScrewGumm.

Black Tower: Your new ally might be a bit crazy, be prepared.

Screw Gum: Disliking your allies is not a good habit, Black Tower.

Black Tower: That's just how I am, are you going to disagree?

Screw Gum: Whatever makes you happy.

Black Tower put away his phone, and then Little Black Tower reminded him that Screw Gum had arrived at the space station. He then spent some time trying to deliver a message to him.

Once everyone had arrived, she finally became interested in telling Nguyen Mai and Giang Kuo Ong Pharos what was inside.

"The sky was burning, the colossus was shattered, and corpses littered the ground. I hardly saw any living people, which was quite surprising to me."

Jiang Jiu was slightly taken aback.

"This is... a scene after the end of a cycle of reincarnation?"

The Black Tower's influence is undeniable.

Recalling what she had just seen, she pondered, "This is somewhat different from what you said. The flow of time inside and outside is very different. Also, I saw the ancient beings you mentioned."

Jiang Jiu instinctively wanted to ask what happened next.

But he guessed the answer without even asking.

"So, you came back so quickly because you were kicked out by Lai Gu Shi?"

Black Tower gave Jiang Jiu a cold glance. Just then, Screw Gum came over and came to Black Tower's rescue.

"The Emperor's Scepter has a very high level of security protection. After all, the other party is the number one in the Genius Club. It is already quite difficult to have a brief intrusion."

Black Tower scoffed, "I was just unprepared. Next time, I'll definitely hack into his control system."

That's a bit of an overstatement.

However, everyone present tacitly refrained from undermining them further.

After all, if we demolish our galaxy's number one beauty, Lady Black Tower, she'll get angry!

[This lineup is amazing! Can they take down the Iron Tomb?]

I think we also need to bring Huang Quan over.

[Huh? I'm lost, don't tap me.]

The group exchanged information about Onphalus, the Iron Tomb, and the Imperial Scepter.

The arrival of ScrewGumm made the atmosphere of this impromptu meeting more serious, and also more...efficient.

These people all have an exceptionally high capacity for learning.

Whether it's the Iron Tomb, which is projected to destroy the world soon, the First Genius's ambition towards the Bo Shi Zun, or Jiang Jiu's ability to travel back in time.

Basically, once they say "uh-huh," they start analyzing...

Without much small talk, after listening to Black Tower's brief overview and Jiang Jiu's supplementary information, he came to a partial answer after only a short period of thought.

"The Great Lord of Annihilation, the Iron Tomb, was reborn through the data world, its energy source deeply bound to negative emotions and the obsession with reincarnation."

Screw Gum's voice was steady and magnetic: "Indeed, it is an extremely tricky topic, but also one full of research value."

Question: King, do you have detailed combat data against the Iron Tomb?

There was a two-second silence after he said that.
