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

The giant hammer, which was being protected, was struck from the side by a pure force of existence. The force was not violent, but it struck the weakest conceptual node on the hammer's surface.

The giant hammer, having lost its force, slid past Jiang Jiu's side and smashed into the swarm of insects spreading behind him. With that one blow, hundreds of millions of insects were reduced to primordial dust particles before they could even make a sound.

"That was close." Jiang Jiu turned to look at the vacuum created by the clearing of the insect swarm and clicked his tongue. "It almost hit my new pet."

Before he finished speaking, an arrow shot from beyond the heavens.

The hunting arrow.

Reversing cause and effect, cause and effect come first.

The arrow hadn't even been fired yet, but the lock-on had already occurred.

A very thin and long rift was pierced through the star field beside Jiang Jiu. The rift ran across the entire battlefield, directly cutting the stalemate between breeding and gluttony in two.

Jiang Jiu turned to the side.

The arrow grazed past Him. He glanced to the side and saw the arrowhead pierce a planet behind Him that was being devoured by a glutton, exploding into a sky full of fire.

"Lan, your arrow seems to have missed a bit," Jiang Jiu said.

There was no response from the void.

Only when the bowstring is drawn taut for the second time does the string resonate with a sound that makes the entire space tense.

Jiang Jiu is not afraid.

He knew that the storm arrows would not hit Him.

But He knew even more that Lan hadn't actually intended to hit Him.

They were merely making a statement.

The Hunting Campaign made its stance clear, the Protection Campaign made its stance clear, and the Abundance Campaign, in the gentlest way, pushed the entire battlefield into an even more insane abyss.

What about destruction?

Jiang Jiu raised his head and looked towards the other side of the sky.

The destructive gaze fell upon the swarm of insects, seemingly wanting to do something, but out of respect for "existence," it merely observed for a moment.

“Excellent,” Jiang Jiu said.

The Star God's attack easily affected countless star systems, but the gods all exercised great restraint and avoided the area where the Black Tower was located. As a result, although the Black Tower found the scene extremely absurd, it was never affected in the slightest.

Ahha watched the spectacle unfold and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

It has to be "existence" that dares to do something big... I wonder if going any further will anger the immortals and bring them back to life.

Just then, a force of rule-level power forcefully intervened.

Jiang paused for a moment.

Aha walked up to Jiang Jiu with a grin: "Little madman, your experiment is over."

"Balance" has been eliminated.

Jiang Jiu glanced longingly at his newly adopted pet and its food fighting back and forth, feeling somewhat disappointed. It was impossible to tell who would win.

"One more sentence."

"what?"

"All is silent, the immortal sun shines, the Jian tree sprouts, and all living beings are nothingness."

Jiang Jiu took a step back and grabbed Hei Ta's hand.

Everything around suddenly seemed to become very distant. Everything shrank rapidly in the eyes of the Black Tower. The swarms of insects raged, the ancient beasts ran rampant, and everything quickly shrank from the entire universe to a star system, a planet, and a cloud of empty purple mist.

Then, a hand suddenly clenched.

Black Tower paused for two seconds, blinked, and looked up at the scene before him. Everything was as before, as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go, Ms. Black Tower, let's go home."

Hei Ta chuckled and took Jiang Jiu's hand.

"Okay."

.......

(Let's take a gamble. I think the phantom image is just one of Aha's masks. The phantom image is Aha, but Aha is more than just the phantom image.)

Side Story - Black Tower Shura Field - 1v4

After Tower One had a sudden inspiration and revealed that they were all the same person, everyone fell silent.

I might have been a bit carried away by my emotions before.

After calming down, they all more or less accepted this statement. After all, there is no distinction between different levels of Black Towers; all Black Towers are Black Towers. These were even the words of the people themselves.

Tower Two stood up, stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "I agree with this point of view. We are originally one person. In essence, no matter whose Jiang Jiu belongs to, he is ours."

Tower Three hesitated for a moment.

She thought about her first encounter with Jiang Jiu and all the little things they had done together...

But these memories aren't hers alone; at least three other people here know about them. So... they share the same memories, have the same experiences, and are essentially one person, both physically and psychologically...

Thinking about it this way, it seems... possible to share one's boyfriend with "oneself"?

"Never mind... I have no objection."

The only one who might be unhappy is probably Tower 4, which is the Black Tower in this timeline.

"Why should I share this with you? This timeline is mine. Your Jiang Jiu is dead, but my A Jiu is still alive. Why can't I have it all to myself?"

Upon hearing this, Tower Three silently crossed his arms.

"Your theory is invalid."

"why?"

“Because there is only one Jiang Jiu, he doesn’t exist in your timeline.” Tower Three said calmly. “I’ve searched through almost every timeline I could find, and apart from your timeline, he doesn’t exist in any other timeline.”

"Jiang Jiu is the only one."

Tower Four was silent for half a second, then clicked its tongue: "Could it be that the Ascension God has brought all timelines together?"

Tower Three shook its head: "Impossible. The Star God's proof is eternal, existing simultaneously in the past, present, and future. If your statement is correct, then every timeline should show traces of 'existence,' but the reality is, there's nothing."

"Stop arguing, because Ajiu isn't from this world." Tower Two, holding the little black tower doll, successfully won the MVP award.

Tower One raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the little black tower doll, a flicker of "curiosity" in his eyes.

After a brief exchange, the group reached a temporary consensus.

Next, the group needed to discuss what to do.

During the process, Tower No. 2 noticed that Tower No. 1's gaze was subtly glancing at the little black tower doll in its hand, and then it openly put the little black tower doll away.

"Number One, you probably don't know Jiang Jiu very well, right? If we shake hands and make peace, can we just send you back?"

“I didn’t say that.”

Tower One reached out and casually smoothed the stray hairs on Jiang Jiu's forehead. Then, under his gaze, he slowly withdrew his hand, as if he had merely confirmed something.

"Feelings can be cultivated over time. I have to be patient with my savior, don't I?"

Tower Two is a bit unhappy.

"Okay, so what do you mean?"

“What I mean is, since we can’t get a result from arguing, let’s try a different approach.” Tower One recalled the information he knew. “Since he is our common variable and our common exception, instead of fighting over who hugged whom a little longer, let’s think of a way to make him belong to us openly and legitimately.”

"Belongs to us?"

Tower Three repeated the word, something in his eyes gleaming for a moment before being suppressed by reason.

“You’re good at talking, but the reality is, he’s only one person. He can’t be with all of us at the same time.”

"Why not?" Tower One retorted.

Tower Three choked for a moment: "Because time is linear, and space is unique..."

"But he is a star god."

Tower One casually interrupted her, then looked at Jiang Jiu, a slight smile playing on his lips: "The concept of a Star God is not bound by a single timeline. Jiang Jiu, you can do that, right? Maintaining synchronous existence across four timelines, your consciousness can simultaneously cover the coordinates of all parallel lines, right?"

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly.

He certainly knew what Tower One was implying.

The core of destiny lies in its ability to encompass all possibilities; if he so desires, he can indeed appear simultaneously in four timelines, or even more...

But the problem is...

"You want me to cut it into four pieces?" he asked tentatively.

“No,” Tower One corrected, his tone serious. “It’s about being on the same frequency. You don’t need to split or choose. You just need to exist in every timeline at the same time. The timelines don’t overlap, and your consciousness won’t overlap either. There’s a Jiang Jiu in every timeline, but all Jiang Jiu are you.”

Tower Four frowned slightly: "How is this any different from self-splitting? Even if the consciousness is shared, the experiences of each line are still independent. Over time, different experiences will give rise to different cognitions, and they will become people who are similar to each other but not exactly the same."

"That's why anchor points are needed."

Tower One seemed completely unconcerned: "The four of us are his anchor points. He has a Black Tower waiting for him to come home in every line. As long as we exist, Jiang Jiu will always be Jiang Jiu."

The space fell silent for a moment.

Tower Two was the first to laugh out loud.

The laughter was low, tinged with a hint of relief and a touch of smugness: "So, after all this trouble, you're just telling us to stop fighting and share it?"

She turned her head to look at Tower One, a renewed sense of anticipation rekindling in her eyes. "I never expected that the last one to go would be the one who figured it out the earliest."

“This is called maximizing benefits,” Tower One corrected. “It’s too troublesome for four Black Towers to fight over Jiang Jiu. This is a win-win situation.”

“That sounds like something I would say,” Tower Four scoffed.

Even the Black Tower of the original timeline didn't object. Everyone thought the matter was settled and was just about to try to find a way to resolve it when Tower Three suddenly spoke up.

"I disagree."

All eyes were instantly drawn to her.

“I’m not like you guys,” Tower Three said, his voice tinged with a hint of gritted teeth. “What I want is him whole, not a shared piece that’s been broken into pieces. I’ve been looking for him for so long, not to share him with the others.”
