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

[Dan Heng: ...Xing, don't talk nonsense. That's consciousness connection, not absorption.]

[Star: Well, you still ate it, didn't you? It's just a more polite way of saying it.]

[Dan Heng: .......]

[Doctor Truth: Let me translate. The Black Tower is observing the causal chain of this timeline through the perspective of the Wise One. The Wise One's original calculation goal was very grand—it wanted to deduce how a new universe would be born after the destruction of the galaxy, but now there's a bug in this "birth" link.]

[That Moment Xia: To be more precise, it's not a bug, but rather that the law of causality itself is anchored in the fourth moment. "Destruction is the only solution" or "the end of memory" has become a cosmic constant, causing the Venerable One to be unable to calculate any possibility of "rebirth." What the Black Tower needs to do now is to pry open a crack in this locked chain of causality.]

[Dr. Truth: Mr. Xia, is it fun to steal my translation job?]

[That Summer: I'm just filling in the gaps you missed. You only mentioned the problem, not the reasons.]

[Dr. Truth: That's exactly what I was going to say.]

[Naka: I'm done speaking now.]

[Dr. Truth:.......]

Dr. Truth was highly skeptical about the possibility that he and Natsuki had become friends in the previous footage.

How could anyone possibly get along with someone like him?

[Dr. Truth: So, why can't cause and effect be closed?]

[That Summer: I do have some ideas about this. But before I speak, I'd like to ask everyone here a question: Have you ever wondered why Xi Lian had to become a god in the final timeline of Onphalus?]

[Su Chang: Huh? Wasn't it because Fu Li chose her?]

[That Moment Summer: Why did Fu Li choose her?]

[Su Chang: ...Because...because...I don't know! How would I know?!]

[That Moment Xia: That's the problem. We've been watching how Jiang Jiu breaks the deadlock, but very few people have turned around and asked, how did this deadlock even come about in the first place?]

[Fu Xuan: You mean, the origin of the End Line is a paradox?]

[That Moment Xia: I guess it's an unclosable causal loop, like a snake biting its own tail. You don't know where it begins or where it ends, but you can see it trapping itself and dying.]

[Gui Naifen: Wait... Mr. Xia, could you please slow down... What snake and tail... My head is spinning!]

[Su Chang: My brain is spinning... What kind of paradox is this...?]

[Qingque: My Lord, did you understand?]

[Fu Xuan: Ouroboros.]

[Bluebird: Oh, so it's an ouroboros... wait, an ouroboros???]

[Topa: ...This is really troublesome. Jiang Jiu doesn't share information with us; there are many things he knows that we have no idea about.]

[Gold dust: If you find out, we're doomed...]

[Topa: Don't say such hurtful things.]

Jiang Jiu didn't dwell on these things. He directly borrowed the computing power of Bo Shi Zun and connected the problem directly with Bo Shi Zun himself.

"Your anchored timeline is already such a mess, are you still planning to keep watching?"

Learned Scholar: "■■■■■■■■"

Bo Shizun: "■■■■It shouldn't be you■■■■"

"Who should it be? Who do you hope it is? Xi Lian? The Trail Blazers? Or... Akivili?"

Black Tower said directly, "It's no use talking to him. In the instant of omniscience and omnipotence, everything will be known."

Jiang Jiu: "**."

“Swearing won’t help,” Black Tower said, her tone surprisingly carrying a hint of familiar disdain. “The cause and effect are out of order, and this can’t be solved by swearing.”

Jiang Jiu took a deep breath, feeling somewhat exasperated.

"So what now? You went through all that trouble to get here only to tell me this is a dead file?"

[Star: Huh... what do you mean by a dead file? My brother Jiang has fought this hard and you're telling me it's a dead file? I don't accept that! Let's have a one-on-one fight.]

[March 7th: ? What did you say?]

[Dan Heng: Actually... Jiang Jiu's tone seemed more like a question. Whether there's a way to resolve this causal loop problem is unclear.]

[Su Chang: Um... let me ask a really stupid question first, what does "dead save" mean? It sounds like a game save file being corrupted...]

[Gui Naifen: Changchang, let me give you a scenario. Imagine you're playing a game, and you finally reach the ending, only to find that you forgot a crucial item, preventing you from triggering the true ending. No matter how many times you reload, it's useless. That's called a dead save!]

[Su Chang: Oh! So that means Jiang Jiu and the others finally got to this point, only to find out that this timeline was... hopeless from the very beginning?]

[Gui Naifen: It shouldn't be that exaggerated, right?]

[Topa: Alright, that's it. Praying to the gods is useless now, because I've already become a god.]

[Jade: Actually, we can calm down. Black Tower and Jiang Jiu are still trying to find a solution; they don't seem like the type to accept the outcome.]

[Gold Sand: Hmm, as long as the Star God of Wisdom hasn't stopped calculating, it means there are still variables that haven't been exhausted.]

[Topa: ...You two are both so calm, it makes me look like a madman banging on the table in a conference room.]

[Jade: It's okay, it's good to be a little crazy right now. The meeting room needs enthusiastic people like you.]

[Topa: Thank you so much, although I wasn't comforted at all.]

[A follower of the Medicine King, a commoner from Fengrao Village: Hmph... So what if he's dead? So what if he's remembered? In our eyes, birth, aging, sickness, and death are all illusions. Those mortals that Jiang Jiu desperately tries to remember are ultimately nothing more than ants bound by life and death.]

[Immortal Boat·A Certain Cloud Cavalry: ? You bastard, say that again? When Iron Tomb swung his sword down just now, you, the people of Abundance, stood by and did nothing, didn't you? Do you think the future of saving the world doesn't include you? Now that others are fighting desperately on the front lines, you're just making sarcastic remarks from behind?]

[A follower of the Medicine King, a resident of Fengrao Village: We believe in abundance, not destruction. The Iron Tomb intends to destroy the world, so naturally we must avoid its sharp edge. This is the wisdom of survival, you foolish Immortal Ship people.]

[Fairy Boat·A Certain Cloud Cavalryman: Huh? You call living a life of ignominy wisdom? There are always things more important than living; you're just twisting the facts!]

[A follower of the Medicine King, from a bountiful village: For example?]

[Fairy Boat·A Certain Cloud Cavalry: For example, the right to be remembered!]

[A follower of the Medicine King from a bountiful village: Useless item.]

[Luofu Immortal Boat - A Certain Cloud Cavalryman: ......]

[Fireworks: Oh no! They're fighting! They're fighting! A barrage battle between Fairy Boat and Abundance! The atmosphere is thick with tension!]

Silver Wolf: Why are you stirring things up again...?

[Fireworks: Gossip first, gossip first~ This is a famous scene, even more exciting than Jiang Jiu scolding Bo Shizun~]

[Star: No, I think it's more exciting for Jiang Jiu to curse Bo Shi Zun, he's the Star God!]

[Dan Heng: Because he has the confidence to question the Learned One as the Star God of Memory, and the Learned One will naturally respond to him.]

[March 7th: Actually, I think it was Master Boshi who was kidnapped by Lady Black Tower, I have to say!]

[Star: Danheng, you know so much, you're so cool!]

[Danheng: ...I'm just stating the facts.]

[Star: I know, I know, the cool-faced Little Green Dragon who states the facts is the coolest~]

[Dan Heng: ......]

[March 7th: But I didn't understand a word of what the learned monk was babbling, but I got some news! Xi Lian, the Trailblazer, Akivili, and Xing Ni have stood up! They're actually on par with the two Star Gods now, that's so cool!]

[Star: I didn't sit down at all!]

In reality, people are discussing it enthusiastically, including but not limited to various ways to break the deadlock.

The world is full of extraordinary people, and a single idea can elicit countless rebuttals...

In the video, Jiang Jiu thought for a while and then suddenly asked, "Your omniscient and omnipotent authority is higher than mine. What if I were to complete the cause and effect of Ongphalos for Xi Lian?"

[Fireworks: Well, is Jiang Jiu going to pull off that solo-carrying-the-burden thing again?]

But the idea was rejected by the Black Tower the next moment.

“It’s useless, it’s a paradox,” Black Tower said decisively.

In fact, during the final battle in this timeline, Xi Lian alone was simply unable to bear the memories of the entire universe.

Ascending to godhood and rewinding the timeline would not allow for the suppression of the Iron Tomb, but without rewinding the timeline, one could only watch as the memories of the Milky Way were destroyed.

Therefore, she only has one path in front of her: to repeatedly retrace the timeline until the concept of "self" completely disappears, or to freeze all memories and lead the universe's memories to the end.

However, no one can complete the cause and effect within Onpharos. Xilian cannot return to the past, and Xingcong is in a state of "death" the moment he steps into Onpharos.

The journey of the star in Onphalus did not end.

That's the most important reason.

Is the death of a star being anchored?

Jiang Jiu's words were somewhat inexplicable, but Black Tower understood: "No, but there's a paradox with the glimpse of memory; that little guy can't get that glimpse."

[Star: Do I have to die?]

[Fireworks: another inch.]

[Star: Can I live?]

[Fireworks: No.]

[Star: I'm so pitiful. I don't know why I have to die, but it sounds like I'm doomed.]

March 7th: This is terrible! I will miss you terribly!

[Star: March...]

[March 7th: I was just kidding... I'd be very sad if you died...]

[Star: Did you hear that?! I remember glancing at you! When did Xi Lian ever glance at me?!]

[Xi Lian: They'd love to!]

March 7th: ?

March 7: Is this correct?
