Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"That's it, then it's okay."

"The station manager should have said so earlier."

"Scared me..."

Upon hearing this news, all the staff members on the space station breathed a sigh of relief.

With a skilled commander-level fighter leading the way, what's there to be afraid of?

With Lady Black Tower as our strategist and Brother Huan as our warrior, so what if the enemy is the true Annihilation Lord?

The dictatorship of destruction may be impressive, but intellect and pioneering are not to be underestimated either.

"But this 8,000-word report every day is too troublesome," some people said, feeling immense pressure.

"If you only need useful information, one hundred words are perfectly sufficient."

"Eight thousand words, is that like submitting a university assignment?"

“This is what Lady Black Tower requested, and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Estella sighed, put down a bunch of shopping bags, and then took the tablet from Alan.

"Anyway, I've ordered the milk tea for everyone. Just come and get it if you want some."

"Next, I need to prepare the materials for the meeting. Good luck everyone."

Closed compartment.

The group began to discuss the information they had gleaned from the words of the Black Tower.

Walter said in a deep voice:

"According to Lady Black Tower's account, the intelligent machine named Legus was also bathed in the gaze of the erudite Venerable."

"With such a person guarding Onfaros, I'm afraid our plans will face great difficulties."

"Don't worry, I'm well-prepared," Black Tower said confidently.

"We must use magic to defeat magic, and science to defeat science..."

She glanced at Screw Gum beside her and smiled slightly, “Defeat a machine brain with a machine brain.”

Screw Gum placed his hand on his chest, feeling honored.

"Thank you for your trust, Madam Black Tower."

"But before we begin our discussion, I still have a question I'd like to ask."

He looked at the black tower and asked:

"Lady Black Tower, have you truly entered the world of Onpharos?"

Black Tower stared straight at him.

"..."

Chapter 1498 Emperor's Scepter

Seeing that Black Tower was somewhat displeased, Sunday quickly smoothed things over, saying:

"Does Mr. Screwgoom mean that the Onpharos that Lady Black Tower entered might be a cognitive obstruction constructed by that Laigus... like the Power of Harmony?"

Black Tower looked at the two of them speechlessly:

"To influence my perception without me noticing... even a harmonious messenger might not be able to do it."

"Screw, are you trying to say that the world I've been to is just a firewall?"

“Exactly.” Screw Gum nodded calmly.

"Moreover, that is probably not a simple firewall."

“Onfaros uses space as the first barrier, and for Lady Black Tower, crossing this barrier is a piece of cake.”

"But that second barrier... is called time."

Upon hearing this, Walter seemed to realize something.

"I see."

"Ms. Black Tower mentioned that she had seen the afterimages of two nameless people in the world of Onfaros, but they looked like both residual memory matter and projections of data."

"From this perspective, even if we enter Onfaros, it's very likely that we won't be on the same timeline as them."

Sunday calmly remarked:

“Mr. Walter, on the bright side, this at least shows that the two of them have carried out a relatively successful pioneering work.”

"These two nameless guests are exceptionally powerful. Even on such a peculiar planet, they will surely be safe and sound."

Walter frowned slightly:

“But now that mechanic named Lygus asserts… Onpharos still holds a Great Lord of Annihilation.”

"We had previously confronted the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, on the Immortal Ship, and we also learned some relevant information from the Immortal Ship after that."

"It is unknown whether the destruction brewing behind Onpharos will come from the already world-renowned Burning Wind, Star Howl, and Iron Tomb, or from a great lord like Huanlong who is still unknown to the world."

"But no matter which one it is... once it takes effect, it will inevitably lead to widespread death and destruction."

Black Tower smiled calmly at Walter's concerns.

"Hehe, from this perspective, Onpharos might just be a safe haven."

"After all, three forces of destiny at the level of Commander or even higher, if they accidentally clash, would be far more powerful than Chadwick's explosives."

Walter worriedly said:

"If that's the case...wouldn't Yan Huan and Dan Heng, who are inside Onfaros, be in considerable danger?"

On Sunday, the view on this matter was much more optimistic.

“No need to worry, Mr. Walter.”

"The ever-increasing pioneering spirit on the train proves that the two are still safe and sound."

"We don't know whether that Lai Gushi is friend or foe. If his duty is to blockade the Great Lord of Extinction, we might make a big mistake if we rashly treat him as an enemy."

Currently, Lygus is refusing to allow the Black Tower to enter Onphalus.

But if it's true that only he can open the entrance to Onfaros, then it indirectly means that Yan Huan, Dan Heng, and that carriage entered with his full permission.

So the question is, why did he only allow two anonymous guests to enter?

Lai Gushi is worried that the Black Tower will awaken the Great Lord of Annihilation, but isn't he afraid that Yan Huan and Dan Heng will awaken the messenger of destruction?

Or... he lied somewhere.

What exactly is his stance?

"I have indeed seen worlds where space serves as a barrier throughout my long life..."

Screw Gum looked at everyone:

"Have you ever heard of... the Imperial Scepter?"

On Sunday, Walter and he shook their heads; they had never heard of it before.

The well-informed Black Tower calmly replied:

"Among the many scepters possessed by Rupert II, there is a colossal system driven by anti-life programs, dedicated to simulating the paths of destruction of countless civilizations..."

"Even during the war of schools, when the computational power of the remaining scepters was exhausted, no one dared to use that uncontrolled intellectual weapon."

"—They will either be permanently sealed away or abandoned in the Star Abyss."

She looked at Screw Gum and asked:

"Screw, where have you ever seen such an ominous thing before?"

ScrewGum replied:

"When I was searching for the origin of inorganic life on the vast edge of the stars, I once saw a fish that had slipped through the net."

"Even though its master had already perished in the [self-coronation], that scepter still did not stop operating."

“A terrifying tide of computing power surges within it, yet it never makes a ripple to the outside world.”

"In order to prevent external interference with the calculations, the Imperial Scepter concealed itself within the recessed space and actively distorted the internal flow of time."

"The world inside the scepter has gradually gone mad through thousands of years of calculations."

"I tried to peer inside, but I was almost disrupted by the maddened data entities that corrupted the logical components."

"Judgment: If the Imperial Scepter goes out of control, it may trigger another disaster dominated by inorganic life."

"So I spent two Amber Ages paralyzing it from the outside."

Screw Gum looked at everyone:

"Inference: Onphalus's true form may be an imperial scepter or other similar intellectual creation."

"And that Lycus was the wielder of the scepter... or another Rupert who lived in seclusion."

"It's hard to imagine what kind of crazy scene must be inside the scepter that has been calculated for hundreds of Amber Ages."

"In order to find out the information inside the scepter, I spent half of the Amber Era making an engraving anchor."

"This is the gift I have brought for you all."

"At that time, after I embedded it into the imperial scepter, I obtained an anchored time coordinate without destroying its outer shell."

"Even if the flow of time within the world is disrupted, the fundamental cause and effect cannot be contradicted."

"Even in the smallest unit of computation, the flow of time is still traceable."

"Logic: If the firewall that Lygus built for Onphalos is similar to the self-defense mechanism of the Imperial Scepter, then the Engraving Anchor should also be effective against it."

This time, Screwgoom came at the invitation of the Black Tower, not only well prepared but also bringing with him a strange object for Onpharos.

Walter felt a sense of relief.

Black Tower looked at Screw Gum and exclaimed in admiration:

"...Screw, the last time I admired you this much was when we built the simulated universe together."
