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

【star:!!!!!!】

March 7th: Train! It's our train!!

[Himeko: This looks like... a past timeline, not the present, nor the final timeline. Jiang Jiu turned back time to before the Iron Tomb launched its attack, or rather, to before Xing stepped into Onpharos?]

[Himeko: So what he wants to change is related to the stars?]

[Walter: To be precise, it's related to the causal relationship between the star and the Ompharos. If the star in this timeline is already "dead" the moment she enters Ompharos, then the only way to change that is to give her a different variable before she enters.]

[Star: So Brother Jiang is going to stuff me with equipment before I leave? Like some kind of super weapon? Or an invincible shield? Or just stuff himself into my pocket?]

[Fireworks: Stuffing it in my pocket, hahaha... Imagine Lord Jiang Jiu turning into a little doll and squatting in Xingbao's pocket, then jumping out and shouting "Surprised!" when the Iron Tomb appears! The scene is too beautiful, I dare not look~]

[Silver Wolf: Do you think that's possible?]

Xing quickly retorted.

[Star: Why not? Brother Jiang always carries a Black Tower doll with him, and I always carry Brother Jiang's doll. That's called inheritance!]

[Black Tower: ...My little dolls aren't meant to be passed down.]

[Star: Is Lady Black Tower jealous?]

[Black Tower: Shut up.]

[Star: I'm begging you, please, won't you just send me a limited edition miniature doll?]

[Black Tower: If you can beat my jealous wife.]

Xing blinked and turned to look at March 7th, who was sitting next to her, eating a plate of small cakes and watching TV.

"Could the jealous person Ms. Ebony was referring to be...?"

"Do star gods exist?" March 7th tentatively followed up on her question.

Xing counted on his fingers, seriously considering the probability that he had ever encountered a star god.

Then, very carefully, I calculated 50%.

Never mind, it's definitely a 50/50 chance.

It's impossible to put into practice, so let's just talk about it! That's right! Galaxy Baseball Man will never admit defeat!

[Star: Aba aba... Those are all just empty titles, oh well, welcome to the Planet Train, welcome to the Nameless Passenger!]

[March 7th: Just admit you're a coward.]

After Jiang Jiu finished doing all this, he turned to look at the Black Tower.

"Then, Black Tower, see you there."

"...See you in the future."

The images on the sky suddenly went dark.

About half a minute later, the image came back on.

The scene in the picture is inside the Star Train.

In the corridor, March 7th grabbed Xing's arm and ran very fast.

"Quick, quick, that guy has been staying in his room for two and a half days without coming out. I'm afraid he'll starve to death in his room!"

March 7th said this while pulling Xing along.

Xing stumbled a couple of steps as she was pulled along, barely managing to keep up with her pace, but her face showed a hint of confusion—what was the rush?

"He's pretty strong, he shouldn't starve."

“This isn’t about whether he’ll starve!” March 7th declared righteously. “What if he gets sick from being all alone? What if he feels isolated? What if he…”

"March."

A gentle voice came from behind.

On March 7th, when she turned around, she saw Himeko holding a coffee cup, leaning against the carriage door and looking at her with a helpless smile on her lips.

"You're shouting so loudly, the whole train can hear you're going to 'rescue' Jiang Jiu."

March 7th paused for a moment: "Huh...? I, I was just worried about him! And at this time, it would be disloyal not to call him! We've already called him on Sunday, there's no reason not to."

Himeko smiled, did not refute, and simply took a small sip of her coffee.

"Go ahead, and remember to knock."

"okay!"

[Sunday: The Star Train... What an unexpected yet perfectly logical development.]

[March 7th: Wow... I'm finally back in the sky!]

[March 7th: And it looks like I'm the main character this time!]

[Xing: "You're so loud! The whole train can hear you're going to save Jiang Jiu!"]

[March 7th: ...Hey!!!]

[Star: Alright, alright, I'll cooperate. The Star Train duo reunite under the celestial canopy!]

[Danheng: ...You two are practically inseparable every day. The train is only so big; it's hard not to get involved.]

[Xing: Danheng, shut up! The atmosphere that was just there is completely ruined!]

[Himeko: But this timing is quite interesting. Just now, March said that Jiang Jiu locked himself in his room for two and a half days and didn't come out... Does that mean that the Jiang Jiu in this timeline is the Jiang Jiu after the final route?]

[Walter: I hadn't noticed that detail.]

[Walter: If Jiang Jiu jumps between timelines like this, what about his original self in the original timeline? Does he exist simultaneously in a parallel universe, or is it a consciousness swap, or something else...?]

[Topa: ? You've discovered the blind spot.]

[Robin: It seems that's true... So what about him in the original timeline? Given this time jump, what would his life trajectory be like?]

[Yao Guang: Hmm... It's intermittent, disappearing in one place and then reappearing in another?]

[Robin: ? What's that?]

[Yao Guang: Hmm... As far as I know, there's a disease with similar symptoms. Regarding Jiang Jiu's situation, I'm not sure either.]

[Forgotten Returnee: This isn't... never mind, I'd better not say anything more.]

[ScrewGumm: Logically speaking, based on the current information, the probability of Jiang Jiu possessing a complete survival trajectory is less than 1.37%, so it can almost be concluded that his "existence" exists outside the timeline.]

[Himeko: Then can I take it that Lord Screw King means that Jiang Jiu himself did not exist in this timeline before the end occurred?]

[Screw Gum: Logically, the timeline is chosen by Jiang Jiu himself. His appearance will interfere with the occurrence of the final timeline, but that doesn't mean he won't appear before the final timeline occurs. This is a paradox.]

[Himeko: Okay, thank you for your answer, Lord Screw King.]

[Walter: So this Jiang Jiu now is the same Jiang Jiu who just modified cause and effect and returned with all his memories?]

[Sunday: So he locked himself in his room for two and a half days... because he had just gone through a battle at the level of a Star God and needed to be alone to sort out his thoughts?]

[Himeko: He could simply be sleeping. After all, he carried the memories of the entire universe in that timeline; the mental strain he endured is unimaginable for most people.]

[Star: Look, look! He's in this state, and you're still thinking about waking him up in March!]

March 7th: I don't know either...

[Fireworks: Tsk tsk tsk, staying indoors for two and a half days just to sleep? That's such a waste of life! If I brought back the memories of the entire universe, I'd immediately rush out and brag to everyone! I'd tell them, "Do you know what I went through?! I'm someone who carried the memories of the entire universe!"]

[Silver Wolf: So you're not Jiang Jiu, and you didn't bear the weight of the entire universe's memories.]

[Fireworks: It's only a matter of time~ Once I become a commander, I'll take on that role too.]

[Joyful Star God Aha: Fireworks, want to carry the weight of your memories? Aha can help you! Aha has a whole galaxy's worth of funny stories recorded, he'll cram them all into your head, enough to keep you going for days!]

[Fireworks: Boss, you're kidding, right...?]

【Joyful Star God Aha: Aha never jokes about fun!】

[Fireworks: Then I won't carry it.]

[Joyful Star God Aha: Aha, you've really lost face!]

In the scene, March 7th drags Xing along for a while, then stops steadily in front of a door.

Thump thump thump...!

On March 7th, he knocked on the door three times forcefully.

"Jiang Jiu, Jiang Jiu, are you there?"

Seeing that there was no response from inside the door, March 7th, not giving up, knocked a few more times.

"Jiang Jiu! Come out for dinner!"

Still no response.

Xing stood to the side, scratching his head: "How about... we just push the door open and go in?"

"That's not a good idea..." March 7th hesitated for a moment, "What if he's changing clothes?"

"Then we definitely have to go in."

"???"

[Star: ??? My mind is churning with gray thoughts. Was that me just now?]

[March 7th: It's you! It's you! I already told you what if they were changing clothes, and you still had the nerve to barge in! Xing, where's your shame?!]

[Star: I don't have that kind of thing, and you were the one knocking on the door in March. If you really saw it, you're fully responsible.]

[March 7th: Why should I take responsibility?! You were the one who encouraged me to push the door open!!]

Dan Heng was helpless.

[Danheng: Don't you two think it's wrong to be arguing about who should be responsible for breaking in at the other party's door...?]

[Fireworks: Wow, the train crew's daily life is so hilarious! One minute they're saving the world, the next they're debating whether to sneak in while someone's changing clothes. The contrast is too much! It makes me want to move on the train for a few days!]

[Silver Wolf: Fireworks, if you move there, I reckon Jiang Jiu will move out the very next day.]

[Hanabi: You little wolf cub, what do you mean?! I am the beloved Hanabi-sama!]

[Silver Wolf: Yeah, everyone's afraid of him.]

[Fireworks: You're finished. I'm going to tell the whole universe your game account password.]
