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

Jiang Jiu watched this scene and pondered how to create a signature move that exuded sophistication.

Although... he's really handsome.

We can't just dismiss everything we see, like we would an eraser, can we?

How do you say it feels like it's missing something?

He casually neutralized the doomsday beast released by Xingxiao, then turned his head to look in one direction.

"She's here. Remember what you promised me."

Xingxiao remained noncommittal.

"There should be more trust among colleagues, Shi Jin."

"We need to get to know each other better before we talk about it. We've only just met."

Xingxiao tilted his head in confusion.

"why?"

Isn't it enough that she offered such a grand destruction for the ascension of this Extinction Lord?

Hei Ta walked to Jiang Jiu's side through a temporary teleportation portal. She looked at Jiang Jiu and, after confirming that he was unharmed, turned her gaze to Xing Xiao.

Two gazes met in mid-air, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Xingxiao." Black Tower spoke first, calmly calling out Xingxiao's name.

"Black Tower," Xingxiao said casually, glancing at it before looking away, seemingly unconcerned about who Black Tower was.

Jiang Jiu shrugged: "Well then, let me introduce you. This is Xing Xiao, one of the Great Monarchs of Annihilation, and this is Hei Ta, Genius Club #83, the Wisdom Commander."

Black Tower looked at Jiang Jiu, but said to Xing Xiao, "The train does not welcome messengers of destruction."

“But you welcome him.” Xingxiao’s gaze fell back on Jiang Jiu. “And he is already a colleague of destruction.”

The Black Tower remained silent for two seconds.

"explain?"

Jiang Jiu coughed lightly: "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later."

Hei Ta stared intently at Jiang Jiu for a while, his gaze finally settling on the clear golden brand on the back of Jiang Jiu's hand.

To be honest, she wasn't very familiar with Jiang Jiu.

As fellow members of the Genius Club, Black Tower had no reason to refuse a genius's overture.

But there is no obligation to trust either.

Jiang Jiu's identity as the Void Envoy was already sensitive enough, and now he's involved in destruction...

She was a little curious.

It was precisely because she knew how difficult it would be to get Nanook's attention on the path of destruction that she became even more curious.

Why would a guy who worries about Xingxiao accidentally injuring the train crew, and even dares to use himself as a bargaining chip to confront a Great Lord of Annihilation, be noticed by the God of Destruction?

Moreover, he seemed to know himself very well.

This is really... so interesting.

She didn't press further. After weighing the pros and cons, she felt that Jiang Jiu was fairly trustworthy.

"Are you willing to vouch for her?"

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Yes, I guarantee it."

"Alright, keep up."

Black Tower's voice was devoid of emotion: "Don't stray too far from Jiang Jiu. On the train, do not use any form of destructive power."

Xingxiao calmly collected the last few puzzle pieces that were floating in the air. On the half-finished puzzle piece, the trajectory of a collapsing star could be faintly seen.

Jiang Jiu walked at the back, and the moment he stepped into the warp gate, he glanced back at the star field that had been almost cleared out.

Hmm... it really was a very enjoyable experience.

......

To be honest, the train crew was quite shocked when we got back to the train.

no......

Where are the enemies? Where is the danger?

You went out for a while and got kidnapped and brought back?

Is that correct?

Xingxiao stepped into the carriage, his eyes calmly sweeping over everyone before finally landing on Xing, who was standing next to the control panel.

Her gaze lingered for a very brief moment before shifting away.

"Shi Jin, is this the interesting guy you were talking about?"

Aren't you interested?

Black Tower walked to the main control panel, pulled up the flight path map, and said in his usual tone: "Maintain a slight adjustment to the flight path to avoid the residual energy zone. The crisis is over. You can resume normal navigation."

"Thank you, Pa. The train is back on track now."

Hei Ta grunted in agreement. After leaving the control panel, he saw Xing sitting upright opposite Xing Xiao, asking the question with a serious expression.

Xing: "Are you my mother whom I've never met?"

Xingxiao: "...?"

Chapter 74 I Can't Bear the Title of Savior

Xingxiao hadn't expected to get such a strange question right away. She looked quietly at the serious-looking gray-haired girl in front of her, remained silent for a while, and then shook her head.

"No."

Her answer was simple and direct, without any beating around the bush.

Xing blinked and asked curiously, "But they all say you are the Mother of Star Cores, and they also call me the Star Core Spirit. Aren't you my mother?"

She thought for a moment and then asked seriously.

"I understand! You don't want to acknowledge me, do you?"

“No.” Xingxiao tilted his head slightly, his long silver-purple hair fluttering. “The star core is a creation of harmony; destruction is merely a slight utilization of it.”

She calmly revealed some news that shocked Xing.

“If you absolutely must find yourself a mother, then you should look for Hippe, not me.”

Xing scratched his head in confusion: "But didn't you come to find me?"

Xingxiao's gaze lingered on Xingqi's curious face for a moment. After considering Xing's question, she shook her head slightly.

"The reason I noticed you is because the state of your stellar core is... very interesting."

She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching Xing's chest.

"It should have devoured you, perhaps turning you into a dangerous substance that could explode at any moment, but right now, it's as calm as if it were part of your body."

Xing subconsciously touched her chest: "Is...that's how it is?"

“Yes.” Xingxiao withdrew his hand, his eyes reflecting Xing’s confused expression. “Destruction understands all things, and thus decides how to give them their end. In this respect, you are a fine example.”

star:"......?"

Xing didn't understand. What did "destruction" and "high-quality sample" mean?

But whatever it means, it doesn't sound like a compliment at all...

Oh no! We haven't even finished researching the Black Tower yet, and now we've been targeted by Xingxiao...

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but chuckle, which drew a calm glance from Xing Xiao.

"So," Xing thought for a moment, but still couldn't help asking, "you came here just to observe me?"

“That’s one of the purposes.” Xingxiao neither denied nor agreed.

Xing's thought process seemed to still revolve around the topic of her mother: "Then you're really not my mother?"

Xingxiao was silent for two seconds.

"Do you really need a mother?" she asked sincerely.

“I did not create you, nor am I your blood relative. Strictly speaking, the only connection between us is that part of the star core that I distributed eventually became part of you.”

Xing nodded weakly and whispered, "Oh... I actually have another question..."

......

Meanwhile, on the other side of the observation car, Hei Ta and Jiang Jiu moved to a position a little further away from the others.

Hei Ta crossed his arms and examined the golden brand on the back of Jiang Jiu's hand.

"A brand personally given by Nanook?"

Her tone was emotionless; if one had to pinpoint what it was, it was probably some curiosity.

"Time's End...it sounds like a name associated with time and the end. What did you show Him? Or rather, what did you destroy that deserves His attention, or even a true name?"

"Please explain, including the previous issues. I have the patience to listen to you clearly."

Jiang Jiu leaned against the edge of the opposite table, rubbed his temples, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Hmm... If I said that I just wanted to ask Xing Xiao if he wasn't interested in Xing Sensing, but Nanuk thought I was quite interesting and immediately lowered his gaze, would you believe me?"

"It can be trusted."

Black Tower answered without hesitation.

"The thinking logic of the Star Gods is different from that of mortals. Their interests may stem from any insignificant trait, or even just a fleeting thought, but the key question is, why would you be noticed?"

She took half a step forward and lowered her voice.

"You are simultaneously under the gaze of the Void Star God IX and the Wisdom Star God, the Great Sage. This in itself is special enough, and dangerous enough."

"Now, with the addition of the Destroyer Star God Nanuk... the gaze of three Star Gods focused on one person is almost unprecedented in known records."

"Tell me, how did you do that?"
