Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

Shen Daxiong spoke for a long time, leaving those who couldn't understand him completely bewildered.

Those who could understand a little looked utterly hopeless.

If the universe is truly as Shinichiro says, then everything they experience and do is being recorded by the universe and will be repeated at some point in the future.

Such things may have even happened in the past, but they just didn't know it.

This statement is remarkably similar to the concept of "Memory," one of the four paths to the end, in the world where Zhongheng and the Great Black Tower reside.

After an endless future, the universe comes to an end, and Fuli, carrying the memories of the entire universe, will once again recreate everything from the past.

The three possible escape routes he mentioned are beyond their current comprehension.

At present, they are not capable of observing the entire universe.

But compared to Zhongheng and the Great Black Tower, it's a different story.

The first possibility is that the universe is not without boundaries, but is constantly expanding, or is simply an infinitely large entity...

Thinking of the "Guardian" star god Kripper who built a wall at the edge of the universe, this point can be ruled out immediately.

The second possibility is that the universe is not closed, but has loopholes, so energy is either constantly leaking out or flowing in...

If we include the insatiable devouring of "gluttony" and "nothingness," then energy is constantly leaking out.

but!

If we place this point within the broader context of the Tree of Trees universe, the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea have always maintained a balance, with the two competing against each other.

The balance is maintained at a single point, where neither water enters nor leaks, which is no different from being completely closed.

The third possibility is that time will completely stop someday in the future, bringing about the utter end of the entire universe...

Isn't that just "nothingness" or "destruction" among the four paths that lead to the end?

However, if one had to choose from these four paths leading to the end, it would be nothingness, destruction, harmony, memory...

No matter how you look at it, even if the end of memory is despairing, it is already merciful enough among these four paths leading to the end.

(Just like the game Honkai Impact 3rd, it will eventually come to an end and fade from your sight, but as long as someone remembers it, as long as someone embarks on the pioneering journey again and walks the pioneering path again, isn't all of this just a cycle of memories?)

[Big Black Tower: "@GodDaXiong's analysis is excellent, this genius admits your wisdom!"]

[The Great Black Tower: "But so what? Now that we know the 'answer,' why not just eliminate the options that lead to it?"]

[Big Black Tower: "Besides, with the existence of chat groups, achieving this shouldn't be too difficult; it's quite an interesting topic."]

[The Great Black Tower: "In conclusion, what four paths to the end? This genius will not choose any of them!"]

[Zhong Heng: "@Shen Da Xiong indeed, the 'memory' revealed at the end of the video is indeed one of the four paths to the end."]

Zhong Heng: "The script guided by the Star Core Hunter is indeed intended to lead to this ending."

[Zhong Heng: "But, as Ms. Black Tower said, having obtained the opportunity of the chat group and not knowing this outcome beforehand, perhaps one can accept this endless cycle of endings."]

[Zhong Heng: "But after knowing this outcome, and after having a chat group, I believe that both I and you have thought about changing the future of your world, right?"]

Zhong Heng smiled and left the chat group.

Just as they stepped out of the cabin of the rare artifacts collection room, they bumped into the Black Tower, who had come looking for them.

"Tell me, on my turf, as my friend, you just let those two troublemakers go without even asking me?"

Hei Ta stood with her hands on her hips, head tilted back, eyes narrowed, her gaze saying that if Zhong Heng didn't get a satisfactory answer, she wouldn't have a good time either.

Zhong Heng waved his hand: "If you really cared, you wouldn't have spent so much time watching the surveillance footage in the office without coming over directly, but instead waited until those two left before coming over."

Black Tower snorted: "Ha~ Although I don't care much about this space station, it doesn't mean that everyone else is provoking me. Even though I know the truth, I still have to pretend that I don't care at all."

"Otherwise, if others find out, they'll still think I, Black Tower, am easy to bully."

"Besides, didn't I see you there before?!"

"And look what happened! You old codger, you just played a little trick on them and let them go, not only that, you even helped them take my collection of star cores. Did you even get my permission before giving them to them?"

Zhong Heng raised an eyebrow: "Look, isn't it good to lose a star core but gain a star core spirit with a 'star core' implanted inside its body?"

"Isn't your simulated universe project, which you're researching with several other geniuses, still missing a test subject? I think this girl would be perfect for it."

"Besides, you've almost finished researching the star core, but didn't you know that star cores can be used like this? That girl might give you some inspiration and let you reproduce the method that the star core hunter just used."

He frowned upon hearing this, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, realizing that Zhong Heng's words did indeed make some sense.

He then shook his head: "No, I almost got led astray by you old man."

"She is her, and you are you. I trusted you so much, but what about you?"

"You old codger, you actually sided with outsiders and even attracted the antimatter army, turning my space station upside down!?"

"It wouldn't be right not to offer some compensation, would it?"

Black Tower's lips curled slightly as he finally revealed his true thoughts.

This is why, even though she had been watching the situation on the surveillance cameras the whole time, she waited until now to come knocking on the door.

Compared to that, what are Star Core Hunters? Even the sentient Star Core lying in the Curiosity Collection Room is unimportant.

Who can compare to Zhong Heng, who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessed the ascension and decline of the Star God, possesses countless collections, and now has a chat group?

This time, if she doesn't get something out of that old man Zhong Heng, how can she live up to the astonishing wisdom of Lady Black Tower?!

Hey~ Plans are in place.

Having lived for so many years, Zhong Heng was naturally shrewd and experienced, and he immediately understood what Hei Ta meant.

He immediately rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "Speak, Ms. Black Tower, what do you want?"
