Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

As for the reason he remained silent...

"Hmph~~" Fueled by curiosity, an extremely intense spiritual flame ignited in Black Tower's eyes.

The experiment on Onpharos was the culmination of Lygus's hard work. Given this, what else could be the reason that he went to such lengths to hide the thirteenth Titan?

A fatal flaw! A fatal flaw that could destroy the Iron Tomb!

"It seems that if Onphalus continues his natural calculations, his interpretation of the First Cause of Life will be vastly different from that of Destruction. The Iron Tomb is indeed the result of the extensive interference of our predecessors."

Black Tower's smile never faded. Not only because he had found Zandal's weakness, but also because this tragic battle at the Iron Tomb had finally yielded a clue to turning the tide!

"But... what could it be?"

Another path to enlightenment... Would Zandal really do that? Especially after the Wise One has taken over knowledge?

Screwgoom rested his chin on his hand and said calmly, "Perhaps there is another possibility: our fear of Zandal led us to make a serious misjudgment. The truth may be much simpler and more straightforward than I imagined."

"Hmm? You mean..."

……

A somber mood hung heavy over the galaxy. The Zandal's feats were all incredibly powerful; in comparison, even the Iron Tomb seemed cheap and poorly made, yet it was undeniably formidable!

It's not impossible that Zandal might pull out some strange and wonderful treasure from some corner of the galaxy, or that he might actually ride on auspicious clouds, embark on a completely new destiny, and fight Bodhidharma until the universe is shattered.

But are they even alive?

A sense of impending doom has left many people feeling dejected.

[Qingque: I'm tired. Let's destroy it. At least deleting the Iron Tomb with one click isn't painful.]

[Screwgoom: It's not time to be pessimistic yet. Most likely, the existence of this nameless Titan doesn't signify the beginning of a completely new path. As we all know, Onpharos possesses a certain degree of ability to calculate the universe. So, consider this: a Titan that died in the womb, a god whose existence has been confirmed but never seen—doesn't he have a corresponding star god in the real universe?]

[March 7th: Oh, I see! You mean... the Last King of the End, right?]

The group, who had initially been given a glimmer of hope by Screw Gum, were now utterly disheartened.

[Star: This is worse than forging a new path!]

That one's fate is still uncertain, but this one is definitely going to die!

[ScrewGumm: It's not that pessimistic.]

[Dan Heng: It's Fu Li. You mean the unborn thirteenth Titan, representing the Star God of Memory, Fu Li?]

[Yao Guang: Huh? Thinking about it carefully, their circumstances are indeed quite similar. Moreover, the place where this thirteenth Titan resides is indeed not Onpharos's "present world," but rather the realm of memories. This could even further explain why memories, one of the three destinies, are so important to Onpharos.]

[Sai Fei'er: But the problem is, doesn't the Titan of Time correspond to the celestial memory destiny? One destiny, two star gods?]

[March 7th: Hmm... I still think the end times are more likely.]

[Black Tower: No one can find conclusive evidence to support this view. However, we all know that Laigus was a Zandal with limited perspectives. I think, just like the headless Iron Tomb, the fragments could never have gained the authority to open the path of destiny. Given Zandal's rational and resolute decision before his "suicide," it's impossible that he would leave such a backdoor for curiosity.]

[Screwgoom: Moreover, whether my deduction is correct or not is not really important. There is only one thing that truly matters. The reason why Ragus killed the thirteenth Titan and hid him until now, unknown to anyone, is solely because his existence might thwart Ragus's plan. @Ragus, with your dignity and pride, surely you wouldn't lie?]

[Rakushi: ...No comment.]

[Star: Hiss... It seems I was right!]

Exclamations of surprise echoed throughout the world.

The universe is finally saved!

[Sunday: In any case, Miss Nagayoshi has indeed uncovered a truly remarkable secret.]

[Xi Lian: The unknown thirteenth Titan...]

[March 7th: So mysterious, who could it be? Do you think we might have known each other for a long time?]

[Star: Possibly. The more someone tries to conceal their identity, the more likely they've already appeared more than once. Yeah, that's a common trope in suspense dramas!]

The light curtain shifted again.

Inside the underground palace, in front of a majestic steel gate.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The story of [memory] has only just begun."

Chang Yeyue smiled faintly and extended an invitation to the Black Swan: "Why not step inside together? You are qualified to accompany me and witness the secrets behind this door..."

She paused, and when she spoke again, she was much more solemn.

"Witnessing how another futile effort, which lasted for thirty million lifetimes, was forgotten by the world in the blank 'years'."

[Bai'e: Another thirty million lifetimes? Besides Caislana, is there someone else carrying the burden for Onpharos, or even the entire universe?]

[Star: What do you mean? The Great Tomb isn't actually a tomb, and the Thirteenth Titan is still alive? And has even been playing a role all along?!]

March 7th: Such heroes are forgotten... How cruel.

Everyone in the galaxy gazed at the light screen, waiting to catch a glimpse of the savior they had so longed for.

What exactly did Changyeyue dig out of it?!

The light curtain flows.

Before the same massive steel gate, the figures of Changyeyue and Black Swan were no longer there.

Standing here now are Xing and Dan Heng, whose attire is different from before.

"Are you ready, Xing? I'm about to open the door."

[Xing: Huh? Wasn't I being treated like a prisoner under Chang Yeyue? How come I'm with Dan Heng? Could it be... Dan Heng, you were captured too? Eh? If we've both been brainwashed, does that mean because I arrived first, Dan Heng became the youngest?]

[Dan Heng: ...Such an honor, you can enjoy it all by yourself. Is there any possibility that I rescued you?]

[Star: As expected, Teacher Danheng, you have hidden power too! And you know what, this little dragon costume actually looks quite good. Is that tail part of the body, or just an accessory?]

[Fireworks: If there's a hole in the back of its clothes to put its tail in, won't it feel chilly when walking?]

[Dan Heng: ...Chang Ye Yue, can you make your move now?]

[Star: Oh, I'm sorry, no, no, no!]

The Immortal Boat of Luofu.

Clang!

The six emperors all turned around, their expressions puzzled.

In the general's seat, Jing Yuan looked astonished, the teacup beside him jingling. His usually languid posture was now upright, and he stared intently at the light screen.

"Could it be an old friend coming..."

Having grown accustomed to seeing Dan Heng as an ordinary person these days, the sudden sight of him in a more familiar form from his memories was far more impactful than he had imagined.
