Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Hiss... Just call me Jiang Jiu, this form of address..."

Screw Gumu said calmly, "I haven't formally introduced myself yet. It's a pleasure to meet you, Jiang Jiu."

“I am the king of the planet Screw, Screwgoom. You may call me Screw.”

Jiang Jiu cleared his throat lightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Jiang Jiu."

Screw Gum glanced around at Jiang Jiu, seemingly curious as to why his introduction was so brief.

The person who would have him add "King" to his contact list must at least be a monarch.

Even the kings of vanished planets.

Is it that you don't want to talk about it?

He didn't press further, but instead continued with the previous question.

"To reiterate: Do you have detailed combat data against the Iron Tomb?"

Jiang Jiu thought for two seconds and asked in return, "Can your simulated universe support a replica battle of that scale? If so, I can replicate the scene through the simulated universe."

Black Tower was quietly asking Ruan Mei about the origin of King, and while doing so, he glanced at his phone and discovered that he actually had it too.

When she heard someone questioning her simulated universe, she immediately retorted.

"Don't worry about that. The simulated universe can even withstand the gaze of a star god."

Jiang Jiu nodded: "That's fine, I can start entering the data now."

"Please wait a moment."

Screw Gumu called out to Jiang Jiu.

He calmly said, "To verify, you have three ways to go further on the path of nothingness."

"Based on analysis, the most feasible option at present is to experience despair."

The mechanical sound of the screw was calm and even, yet the words it uttered did not sound cold.

"Note: This plan has a success rate of less than 50%, and self-destruction is one of the consequences. Please consider it carefully."

Chapter 43 So why don't you eat it?

"despair?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a few seconds and then asked, "What about the other two?"

Screws calmly replied, "The other two methods are based on speculation from existing data models."

"The second approach might be to try searching for star regions shrouded in nothingness within the Milky Way, for example..."

Screw Gum paused for two seconds and looked at Jiang Jiu.

Question: Have you ever heard of Izumo or Takamagahara?

Jiang Jiu knew, of course, that Izumo Star was the home of the Yellow Springs, and also a place shrouded in nothingness.

As for Takamagahara...

It seems to have been very close to Izumo, and it was destroyed earlier than Izumo.

"Izumo and Takamagahara... if I remember correctly, they should both have been destroyed, right? Do you want me to go and see those places?"

Screw Gum shook his head.

“There are many planets shrouded in nothingness; I’m just giving one example.”

Jiang Jiu nodded.

"I understand what you mean. You want me to follow these planets to find the shadow of the Void Star God?"

Seeing that Jiang Jiu understood, Luo Sigumu nodded.

Nothingness is the only path that will not receive the glimpse of the stars, which also means that you can actively seek it out.

But it's very dangerous.

Ordinary travelers on their destiny paths, or planets in general, are extremely vulnerable to destruction simply due to the unconscious erosion by IX.

Let alone facing it head-on...

"The third way is to actively guide and control the power of nothingness through special media or objects, such as the weapon in your hand."

Screw Gum gestured for Jiang Jiu to look at the weapon in his hand.

He vaguely remembered that these were items collected by the Black Tower, and that he had been asked to study them before.

But it was too dangerous, so I put it away.

Jiang Jiu glanced at the Lonely Star in his hand and nodded.

These kinds of things are usually rare and hard to come by; most people wouldn't collect such dangerous items...

After hearing both methods, he understood why Screws said the first method was the most feasible.

The latter two methods are not only less feasible, but also require a lot of time.

Luck plays a significant role as well.

Jiang Jiu nodded slightly: "Thank you very much, Lord Screw."

Screw Gum simply said gently, "No need to be polite, our goals are the same."

"A reminder: experiencing despair is the most direct, but equally dangerous, experience. Intense negative emotions, especially a complete questioning and despair about the meaning of existence, are the best catalyst for a nihilistic destiny."

"As I said, the success rate is less than fifty percent. The greater possibility is that they will be swallowed by despair and their consciousness will completely return to nothingness."

Black Tower crossed his arms and snorted, "To put it bluntly, I don't recommend you try any of these three methods unless you're really tired of living."

She had just learned the origin of the title "King" from Ruan Mei, and although she was a little curious, she was too lazy to ask.

If you want to know, just look it up.

"Alright, I've told you the method. Go into the simulated universe and recreate your memories of fighting the Iron Tomb as realistically as possible."

Jiang Jiu glanced at the notes that Black Tower handed him and nodded.

“I understand.” Jiang Jiu took a deep breath. “Then let’s go. I will try my best to recreate the scene and feelings at that time.”

"very good."

Black Tower snapped his fingers, and a portal opened beside him.

"We've given you the highest level of access. Just don't crash my simulated universe. We'll monitor the data the whole time."

Jiang Jiu nodded, said nothing more, and stepped into the teleportation portal.

He stepped into the simulated universe.

Everything here is reproduced from data, so there is no need for particularly intense fighting or attacks.

The power of the intellectual destiny precisely mobilizes memories, while the power of the nihilistic destiny allows those cold memories to be re-colored with the emotions of that time.

"Onpharos...the Iron Tomb has emerged..."

With his thoughts, the surrounding scene quickly constructed.

A sky split in two, nebulae digitized, earth cracked...

And the oppressive Great Lord of Annihilation, Iron Tomb.

Its sense of threat is even clearer than in reality; its pure will to destroy is almost tangible.

Jiang Jiu subconsciously tightened his grip on the Lonely Star Sword, feeling a surge of urge to strike it again...

......

Outside, Black Tower, Screw Gum, and Ruan Mei stared intently at the monitoring screen, which displayed the peak values ​​of simulated cosmic energy fluctuations, while in Jiang Jiu's area, the curve was jumping wildly.

"Energy overload? The fluctuation peak has exceeded the safety threshold."

Black Tower rapidly operated the control panel, exclaiming, "This guy's really going big."

Ruan Mei recorded the data and pondered, "This peak value has already surpassed the strength of the envoy who measured the combat power of the simulated universe last time, both sides have."

"Let Jiang Jiu come out, the data will be available soon."

Black Tower grunted in agreement and immediately connected with the simulated universe to send a message to Jiang Jiu.

"Come out, Jiang Jiu, stop cutting. I know you're angry. Cutting any more won't make it any real."

Jiang Jiu, who was sharpening his sword for the Iron Tomb, shrugged upon hearing this, sheathed Ji Xing, and turned to leave the simulated universe.

"Can't I even vent my anger?"

Black Tower crossed his arms and said calmly, "That's enough. Aren't you tired after using two ultimate moves? If you still have the energy, come and calculate the basic data of Iron Tomb with us."

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly.

I'd better not, it's really tiring.

Rather than that, he should first study the items he bought from the system space and improve his strength.

"By the way, did the data entry go smoothly?"

“Perfect.” Screws replied, his tone approving. “Not only did we obtain more detailed combat data, but we also captured some of the Iron Tomb energy core’s vulnerabilities at specific moments.”

"That's fine."

Jiang Jiu confidently prepared to flee.

With the basic data of the Iron Tomb, plus the anchor coordinates inside Onpharos, the three geniuses working together were bound to come up with several pre-defined solutions.

Jiang Jiu made an excuse and temporarily left the three busy geniuses.

He arrived at the temporary rest room that the Black Tower had arranged for him.

Things that are intangible are generally considered dangerous, and to prevent them from affecting others, he needs some private space to deal with them.

A paradoxical crystallization exists.

Jiang Jiu held the purple crystal, examined it for a while, and then asked directly.

"System, how do I use it?"

"It can be used for weapon forging or as an absorption aid; the host can choose the specific method of use."
