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

"Don't think you can get away with this easily. As a fellow member of the Genius Club, you know that lies can't be hidden among us."

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds, then sighed helplessly.

He looked into Black Tower's eyes and asked the same question again: "Black Tower, do you think this is the first time we've met?"

Black Tower: "..."

Black Tower paused for two seconds, then shook his head.

"My intuition tells me no. You know me and have some knowledge of me, but I don't remember you."

She thought for a moment and asked, "What is your connection to the end times?"

Jiang Jiu shrugged: "The reason the Star God of Destruction gave me the position of Commander is to make me draw my sword against the end."

"..."

Hei Ta closed his eyes and thought for two seconds before looking up into Jiang Jiu's eyes.

Give me an explanation.

"If I told you that the future of this universe is already set, that it will head towards its predetermined end, would you believe me?"

"So you want to change the end? With just a thought, will the Star God of Destruction even look at you?"

"What if I've already destroyed the end of a timeline?"

The Black Tower fell silent.

Conversations between geniuses are simple; they think about problems in a unique way.

They won't ask you how you did it; they'll just be curious.

You actually managed to do that?

"Do you remember what I mentioned to you before? The Immortal Ship is planning to use the remains of the Star God to upgrade a Great Lord of Annihilation, and this action has a high probability of leading this world line to its end."

Hei Ta looked at Jiang Jiu, and the more he listened, the more something seemed off.

"What...does this have to do with destruction?"

"Well, you'll have to ask Nanook about that."

Jiang Jiu shrugged, looking completely indifferent: "It's free power, and the task it involves is exactly what I want. Why wouldn't I take it?"

"Hmph... a savior bearing the name of destruction?"

"Alas, I am not worthy of the title of savior, I am not worthy of it."

Jiang Jiu smiled and moved on from the topic.

After all, saving the world wasn't something he actively wanted to do... so let's just forget about it.

Not really.

He brandished his longsword at the black tower.

Do you remember this sword?

Black Tower nodded: "This must be something I casually tossed into the space station. It looks like... it's bound to someone?"

......

(Regarding the female lead, well, firstly because I'm not good at writing romance, and secondly because the timeline in this book is constantly shifting, making it difficult to develop a romantic relationship.)

(Currently, I haven't considered any female lead other than Black Tower, so either there isn't one, or it's her. There's a high probability that there won't be a romantic storyline; I'll leave it to fate and focus on my career.)

Chapter 75 I Can't Stay Anymore

"You gave it to me."

"I don't remember ever giving it to you."

Jiang Jiu shrugged: "If I said I stole it from your secret base on the space station, would that be considered provoking you?"

Black Tower chuckled lightly, shifting his gaze from the sword without delving deeper.

"If I remember correctly, this sword is called Lonely Star, right? It is originally a product of nothingness. Ordinary people who use it will not only be unable to resonate with this weapon, but may also be affected by it."

"It's just a collectible in my hands, so I'll give it to you."

Her tone was casual, clearly indicating that she didn't care much about the sword.

The space station is never short of strange things.

It's just a sword. Although there's a problem with the cause and effect, it doesn't matter.

In this vast world, few things can reverse cause and effect, but they do exist.

"More than that, I'm concerned about the timeline you just mentioned, the end times, and, regarding the predetermined future, how do you prove you're right?"

"Do I need to remind you, Ms. Black Tower, that I don't need to prove anything to you?"

Jiang Jiu sheathed his longsword and said in a relaxed tone, "If you're curious, then find the answer yourself. Aren't you the one who loves solving problems and discovering the truth? I've given you the clues, and the mystery is right in front of you."

He paused, then suddenly smiled: "Some things are pointless if you just say them outright. Isn't the process of verification part of the pursuit of knowledge?"

Hei Ta stared at him silently for a few seconds, the corners of his lips curving upwards almost imperceptibly.

"So you deliberately didn't tell me."

"So, senior Black Tower, do you want to find the answer yourself, or should I just tell you directly?"

"interesting."

She finally said, without asking any further questions, and turned to walk towards Xing and Xingxiao.

"Then, I'll see what this variable of yours can actually do."

Jiang Jiu shrugged and followed behind her.

When the two returned to the center of the observation car, they found the atmosphere a little awkward.

Seeing Jiang Jiu come over, Xing happily approached the two of them and said, "I have good news for you. I have another mother."

Jiang Jiu: "...?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at Xing Xiao subconsciously. The latter sat on the sofa, his face expressionless, but his eyes seemed to reveal a kind of...confusion?

hiss......

Jiang Jiu looked at Xing, his tone somewhat incredulous: "No... Xing, what did you do?"

Black Tower glanced at Star Howl, then looked at Star.

"...This kid really knows how to give people unexpected surprises. He even made Xingxiao withdraw into himself."

Xing scratched his head sheepishly.

Jiang Jiu walked up to Xing Xiao and carefully examined her.

"Have you become withdrawn because of that little guy?"

Xingxiao raised his eyes, and Jiang Jiu's figure was clearly reflected in his pupils. His eyes clearly showed his confusion.

“She…” Xingxiao paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully, “…insisted on calling me 'Mother'.”

There was no anger or annoyance in her tone; she simply stated a fact that puzzled her in a very calm manner.

“I have explained that the propagation of life and kinship fall within the scope of the path of reproduction. I have also explained that the true source of the stellar nucleus is harmony.”

“I even explained that my contact with her was limited to me simply distributing some star cores, and that I might have had indirect contact with her, nothing more.”

Xingxiao's tone remained unchanged, but his speaking speed was slightly faster than usual: "But she doesn't seem to have accepted these explanations."

Black Tower crossed his arms with interest: "So? You just admit it?"

"No."

Xingxiao answered very decisively.

“I just told her that the title itself has no meaning, and I wouldn’t stop her if she insisted on using it, but that doesn’t change any facts.”

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but laugh, then coughed lightly and asked, "And then?"

Xingxiao turned his gaze to Xing, who was still looking at him expectantly, and said with puzzlement, "Then, she seemed to interpret this as... tacit agreement."

"Pfft...!" This time, it was March 7th who couldn't hold back. When he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he quickly covered his mouth.

"Ahem... Excuse me, please continue."

Xingxiao looked at Jiang Jiu.

"Human kinship should be based on genetic inheritance, joint upbringing, or emotional identification."

"We don't meet any of the above conditions, so this relationship is logically untenable, emotionally unfounded, and practically useless. Why is she so persistent?"

After she finished speaking seriously, Jiang Jiu was a little shocked.

He hadn't expected Xingxiao to have this kind of personality.

He had initially thought she would have a cold personality, but after just a short time getting to know her, she seemed... a bit dull.

Xing blinked and answered seriously, "But... I feel fine, and you seem very reliable."

Xingxiao remained silent for an even longer time.

If she hadn't promised Jiang Jiu that she wouldn't do anything related to destruction on the train, she would have wanted to take this strange little guy in front of her directly into the ashes of destruction.

"Shi Jin, this place is not suitable for me."

She looked at Jiang Jiu seriously: "If I stay any longer, I will be unable to resist bringing destruction to this area."

Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow: "So?"

"I can't stay here any longer," she said bluntly. "I'm leaving, and you'd better stay away from these weirdos too. I don't want my colleagues to become..."

Jiang Jiu simply couldn't hold back anymore.

He said helplessly, "Xingxiao, I still want to remind you, the train is my target, so..."

"I will not lay a hand on your prey."

After saying that, Xingxiao left the train at such a speed that it could even be considered an escape.

Jiang Jiu sighed helplessly and turned to look at Xing: "...You really are a talent. No, how dare you? That's a Great Ruler of Annihilation, a terrorist!"
