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

Iron Tomb has been wiped out, and the erudite monk has been taken down, but the end seems to have remained unchanged.

He found a nearby asteroid, sat down, and enjoyed the breeze.

"I probably need to calm down a bit..."

"Rather than saving the world, he now wants to take this hopeless world with him to die."

"Whether you die sooner or later, you're going to die anyway."

"It's better to die by his hand than by the hand of memories."

"Does this count as escaping the end of memory?"

"..."

However, this kind of wild thinking is really crazy...

[Star: Oh no, we're doomed!]

[Star: Taking this world with us to die? Is Sky Curtain releasing the godfather's inner monologue to scare us?]

[March 7th: Rather than die at the hands of memories, I'd rather die at his hands...? What is this? Is this self-abandonment? No, Jiang Jiu isn't that kind of person!]

[Star: He is, he absolutely is! My godfather is absolutely capable of doing something like this!]

[Danheng: He was under too much pressure, so he wanted to vent in the most extreme way, but the fact that he could say it out loud actually means he won't actually do it.]

[Star: You didn't say it out loud?]

[Star: Isn't this just internal monologue? You guys watching the video, pay attention! Don't be distracted, the final ending is coming.]

[March 7th: Tonic!]

[Silver Wolf: This is how the Void Fate works; all sorts of thoughts can arise in your mind. The difference is that some people think about it and then act on it, while others think about it and then let it pass.]

[Fireworks: Is this really what a nihilistic destiny is like? Can someone who's willing to self-destruct answer me?]

[Feiying: This is meaningless, there's no need to answer, nobody cares.]

[Hanabi: Okay, okay, you'll see just how heavy this footage is.]

[Sambo: Old Sambo is thinking, what kind of ending is it to drag the whole world down with us to die at the hands of Time Ember? Even destruction wouldn't be this thorough.]

[Qingque: So, those who self-destruct really can't slack off? Fu Xuan, answer me!]

[Fu Xuan: Stop arguing. It's better to vent than to bottle it up.]

[Qingque: But I feel that if he stays like this any longer, he's going to die...]

[Fu Xuan: Huh?!]

In the video, Jiang Jiu sits on an asteroid, resting his chin on his hand as he recalls his conversation with Bo Shizun.

If it is said that the Venerable One never lied from beginning to end, and that He was not the cause of the end, then His words would have more credibility.

No... He must be out of his mind to suspect that the God of Wisdom is lying, right?

No, no...

—Is the end of memory a predetermined ending?

--Yes.

Is there any way to change the ending?

--No.

—All the Star Gods are trying to avoid the end of the world, so why do you choose the end of memory as one of the futures you are anchoring to?

This is putting the cause and effect backwards. Death is the normal state of the universe, the inevitability of entropy increase, the final stage of the operation of all things, and the end of the future.

It is because the future has reached its end that it is anchored by intellect.

Rather than intellectual understanding anchoring the outcome, thus leading to the end.

—Even a star god as powerful as you are, can you guess what I want to do right now?

—You can't do it.

What is it that cannot be done?

If he could kill the Venerable Master Bodhidharma, what else would he want to do?

Changing the end of this timeline?

Can't do it?

He sat on the asteroid, replaying those words in his mind over and over again, each time feeling like chewing on a tasteless stone.

I can't swallow it, and I don't understand what I'm eating.

So... it was the future that was heading towards its end, which is why He anchored that ending. It wasn't His fault, it wasn't anyone else's fault, it was simply that the future deserved to die.

Jiang Jiu suddenly laughed, but the laugh was short and dissipated by the wind.

That line was a dead end from the beginning; it was a dead end whether the star was there or not.

Whether Iron Tomb is alive or dead, it is a dead end.

With the Venerable Master Boshi present, the situation is hopeless; without the Venerable Master Boshi... it is also hopeless.

He had just killed a Star God, and the Star God of Wisdom used his own life to tell him that the end of this line had nothing to do with Him.

How absurd.

It's so absurd it makes you want to laugh.

[Feixiao: What you mean, "The Iron Tomb is a dead end whether you're alive or dead..." That's not right! There's always a solution that isn't a dead end!]

Jingyuan: He's reviewing the game.

[Jingyuan: After all, the Learned One wasn't the culprit behind the final destruction, so his words are highly credible.]

[Fu Xuan: Ha... What do you mean the Omniscient Star God used his own life to tell Jiang Jiu an answer: the end was not His fault?]

[Yao Guang: ...This answer is absurd, but it's the only clue.]

[Dan Heng: Whether Tie Mu is alive or dead, it's a dead end; whether Bo Shi Zun is alive or not, it's a dead end. These denials aren't meant to attack him, but rather to help him narrow down the possibilities.]

[Danheng: There's a way out even in a dead end; we just haven't found the entrance yet.]

[Topa: Killing the God of Intelligence only earned him the phrase "It has nothing to do with Him"... The cost of this trial and error...]

Gold dust: It's not a loss; as long as it has value, it's not a loss.

[Topa: A man of great learning and benevolence!]

[Laigushi: ...This is truly an unexpected answer.]

[Laigushi: Somewhat disappointed.]

.......

Can I ask for some help to generate electricity for love?

Movie Viewing (148) - Aha Takes You to Have Fun

Jiang Jiu closed his eyes, and the surrounding environment darkened without warning.

A shadow began to spread from him.

The void begins to radiate from a single point, until it envelops the entire planet, and then silently devours it.

"So annoying..."

"It would be so much better if everything just disappeared..."

"Or... it would be better if everything were destroyed."

"That way, we don't need to save anyone, we don't need to stop anyone, and we don't need to..."

The asteroid behind them had completely vanished into nothingness.

This star field collapsed into a small black hole, and this black hole is showing signs of expanding.

Jiang Jiu didn't move or dodge.

He let the black hole's gravity pull him in.

It's not the first time anyway, and this storyline is beyond saving anyway...

[Fireworks: This is what emptiness is... my foot!!!]

[Fireworks: Don't be like that! The world is wonderful and vast, waiting for you to see it. Don't give up on yourself so easily!]

Silver Wolf: ...This is what self-destructive individuals are like.

March 7th: Don't give up! Don't you want to take the Black Tower to the end of the starry sea? Think of those bright futures?

[Star: Actually, the Black Tower could go there by itself.]

[March 7th: How can that be the same?]

[Danheng: Maybe... he wasn't committing suicide? Maybe he was just lost in thought and couldn't be bothered to hide anymore?]

[Qingque: What do you mean by "too lazy to hide"? Falling into the void means even your very existence will be erased!]

[Fu Xuan: It probably makes no difference to him. It's not the first time anyway; he's going to die anyway.]

[Feixiao: There's a difference! Dying at the hands of the finality is a loss, dying by your own hand is admitting defeat! Jiang Jiu, don't admit defeat!]

Om-!

Just then, a sharp buzzing sound exploded nearby, leaving Jiang Jiu's mind blank.

It didn't feel like an attack; it felt more like... someone was banging a gong next to his ear, making a loud, frightening noise.

Before Jiang Jiu could react, a hand grabbed his collar from behind.

The force was outrageously strong, so strong it defied logic, and it literally pulled him out of the black hole's gravity.

"Go away—!"

Aha's voice exploded in my ears, carrying that perpetually cheerful, carefree energy that never seemed to care about the consequences.

Then Jiang Jiu flew away.
