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

Jiang Jiu didn't open his eyes, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

The person behind him was very close, their breath falling on his ear, carrying the faint, cool fragrance of Black Tower.

Her hands covered his eyes completely, her fingertips warm, her touch just right, so that his world consisted only of her.

"Guess," Jiang Jiu said.

"I won't guess." Black Tower's lips were almost touching his earlobe, his voice very soft, "I want you to say it yourself."

Jiang Jiu chuckled, turned around, and grasped her wrist, their fingers interlocking.

I miss you so much.

"How long have you been thinking about it?"

"Every second since I left home."

Black Tower chuckled softly, quite satisfied with the answer, and stopped teasing him.

"Not bad, that was a good answer. So, where are you going now?"

"Help me finish my business first, then I'll show you around. I need to go check on the gluttonous side to confirm some things, but don't worry, it won't be long."

"Greedy? Are you going to find it now to finish this line ahead of time, or just to see if it's really dead?" Black Tower tilted his head and asked curiously.

"Neither," Jiang Jiu shook his head. "I'll go feed it something."

"What should I feed you?"

"Breeding insects".

Black Tower paused for two seconds, then slowly typed a question mark: "Hey... what is that?"

Chapter 17 Two Ways to Die in the Universe

Black Tower wondered if he had misheard something.

She looked into Jiang Jiu's eyes and realized he wasn't joking. After a two-second silence, she asked sincerely, "Jiu, are you here to help or to cause trouble?"

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly.

"No, no, I really came to help."

Black Tower recalled his previous memories of breeding remains and insects, and found that none of them were very friendly.

She felt that Jiang Jiu might be getting a little too cocky.

"Jiang Jiu," Hei Ta called out to Jiang Jiu in a very serious tone, "Tell me, what kind of experiments do you plan to conduct using gluttony and reproduction? I have a feeling it's not a good thing."

Jiang Jiu pulled Hei Ta into a certain part of the world in the painting, stopping some distance away from the gluttonous creature.

"It's nothing complicated, I'm just a little curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"Doesn't the Glutton eat everything?" Jiang Jiu looked at the Glutton's maw in the distance, snapped his fingers, and an unidentified object enveloped in the power of destiny appeared in mid-air. "I'm a little curious, would the Glutton like to eat the bred insects?"

Black Tower: "?"

"I'll probably eat it, but it seems like Aha stole the concept of aftertaste. I doubt I'll even be able to tell if it's not good," Jiang Jiu said to himself.

Black Tower fell into deep thought: "You don't actually intend to feed the 'Glutton' with 'breeding,' do you? You should know that Obros's predecessor was the Twilight Beast, one of the oldest beings capable of contending with 'Immortality' and 'Balance'..."

Hei Ta paused subtly at this point.

Yes, it exists...

Jiang Jiu nodded.

"In ancient times, the Twilight Beast devoured everything in the universe, even swallowing half of it."

"The universe is vast and boundless, but it has its limits. Therefore, 'Immortal' and 'Balance' joined forces to restrict the Twilight Beast. This restriction was finally lifted after the birth of 'Preservation,' and Kripper used a wall to isolate the Beast outside."

"That is, the Twilight War."

Black Tower nodded: "I know some of these things too, but Gluttony has taken the concept of eating to the extreme. What do you want to do?"

Jiang Jiu stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"I recently went to the pharmacist and broke off some abundant branches, which are almost an inexhaustible source of energy for reproduction."

The more I heard "Black Tower," the more familiar it sounded.

"Yes, in one of the past timelines, Xianzhou thought the same thing, and then that timeline was eaten away by the breeding insects."

Hei Ta looked at Jiang Jiu with a complicated expression.

Are you serious?

Jiang Jiu, I don’t know if his mental image is still there, but he always seems to suddenly come up with a thought that’s even more outrageous than the Big Bang, and then act like it’s nothing serious.

Even the Black Tower suspected that Jiang Jiu had become too idle after becoming a Star God and wanted to try everything.

Including but not limited to.

Out of curiosity whether the fracture in Nanuk's divine body was natural or caused by later cutting, I went to try it myself.

Because Bo Shizun was a machine-created being that ascended to godhood, we want to study whether it can be disassembled, what its core is, to what extent it will lose consciousness, and whether every part is Bo Shizun.

...Still curious why Lan, who was clearly a human ascending to godhood, was in a posture of being on top of a horse and dismounting, after pestering him for several days, the "hunting" directly transformed into a human god and went with him to dismantle the learned Venerable.

......?

it's good now.

Upon hearing that Ahha was in trouble, they immediately set their sights on the gluttonous one...

"So your plan is to graft the pharmacist's infinitely multiplying branch onto the breeding insects, and once a certain number have been raised, to give it to the gluttonous beast, using the infinitely multiplying insect swarm to feed it, and see if the gluttonous beast can eat its fill?"

At this point, Black Tower had begun to consider the likelihood of success.

"A-Jiu, you know, right? If any one link in this process isn't controlled properly, both lines might collapse at the same time?"

"I know," Jiang Jiu nodded, his expression relaxed. "That's why you're here, isn't it?"

Black Tower closed his eyes, somewhat helplessly: "Gluttony plus reproduction is even more outrageous than Iron Tomb."

"At least the Iron Tomb has Onpharos as a cage, but are you planning to use the entire Two-Phase Paradise as a petri dish?"

"Two-Phase Paradise is too small."

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "If you want to study this experiment, it's definitely not possible in the Two-Phase Paradise. The world in the painting is too fragile. We can find another place."

"Are those abundant branches enough? Or rather, is this little bit of reproduction enough?"

Jiang Jiu knew that Black Tower had readily accepted his whimsical idea and was happily continuing with his thoughts.

"Breeding is definitely not a problem. If there isn't enough food, we can just go to the pharmacist to steal... or borrow. It's not a big problem."

“Ancient beasts are still beasts. They look silly and have no intelligence. Can they be kept as pets?” Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and thought seriously. “Anyway, all it knows is to eat. It doesn’t have any bad intentions. It’s just hungry. If we feed it, is it possible that it will stop making a fuss?”

Black Tower directly perceived the differences between the newly born Star Gods and the veteran Star Gods...

Just like a long time ago, in the second storyline, the Hunters had no concept of breeding locust plagues, which directly or indirectly led to the breeding locust plague Promax.

it's good now.

The "existence" that did not experience the Twilight War is attempting to recreate its glorious moment of that time.

“No.” Jiang Jiu denied Black Tower’s idea. “I have a concept of that history, and I also have a concept of ancient beasts, but the concept of ‘eating’ is also part of it.”

"Gluttony has lost the concept of 'relish,' meaning it can no longer derive satisfaction from devouring. Theoretically, only 'abundance' can fill this void."

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment after saying this.

"But feeding the apothecary to Obros is clearly inappropriate. Wouldn't the propagation of other 'immortal' relics be the best nourishment?"

Black Tower sighed: "Sometimes I really want to crack open your head and see what's inside every day."

"you."

Black Tower laughed, furious.

Actually, this idea is pretty crazy; if you're not careful, there could be two different outcomes.

Either the entire universe perishes together, the remains of the second reproduction appear, and everyone dies together.

Either they become so greedy that they lose control and devour the entire universe, causing everyone to die together.

Although Black Tower knew that Jiang Jiu had a solution.

So what if you can rewind time?

Jiang Jiu nodded and agreed, "Yes, being able to rewind timelines is remarkable."

Chapter 18 She's so well-behaved, she won't say a word no matter what I ask.

Pigeon River Ward.

A deserted street.

Tingyun stood alone in one place, not knowing who she was talking to.

"Go to Gechuan District and find the contact person for the gang called 'Gongyuan Gang.' Use the code you provided to make contact, and do not reveal your real name..." Tingyun repeated softly.

"What code?"

“I come from the Immortal Boat to discuss literature…” Tingyun paused, then hesitated for a moment.

When I turned around and saw who it was, my heart skipped a beat.

"Miss Jiang... Jiang Yin?"

Jiang Yin nodded. Beside her, Sai Feier had already taken Ting Yun's communicator and was curiously examining it.

She tossed the communicator in her hand a couple of times, her tail tip swaying gently, and she had a great expression on her face, as if she thought the toy was pretty good.

Tingyun's communicator was still in use, and Yaoguang on the other end was clearly unaware that something had gone wrong.

After a brief silence, Yao Guang's slow, deliberate voice came through the communicator: "Miss Tingyun, why aren't you saying anything? What happened?"

Sai Fei'er looked at Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin nodded.
