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

[Bai Er: Wow! If this really works, wouldn't the current crisis be truly averted? The Iron Tomb is effective against intellect, but it can't be that invincible against memories, right? And after that, Onpharos might even officially rise to become one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy!]

[Wan Di: In any case, it's far brighter than the future of the firearms-wielding Suspended City.]

[That summer: A barbarian who blindly believes in muscle, completely ignorant of the power of alchemy.]

[Xi Lian: Hmm... I haven't thought about that, and I've never had such a big wish. I just hope that when everyone's lives are woven together, they can be drawn into a romantic story♪]

[Star: Don't worry, if you succeed, you can write any romantic story you want!]

"Awesome!" Xing exclaimed excitedly.

Who could refuse to have their own memory spirit, their inseparable companion, become a star god?

Who understands the feeling of throwing a Poké Ball at the drop of a hat, only to have a Pokémon pop out?

Just by brainstorming, I can imagine the enemy's face turning as black as the bottom of a pot in despair, while I myself am about to burst out laughing!

"Wahahahahahahahaha!"

Xing performed the action of throwing a baseball without any props.

[Star: I've chosen you—Fu! Li! Lian!]

[Xi Lian: This name... is quite interesting too.]

[Fireworks: What a strange name!]

[Walter: It seems everyone watched the animation I posted carefully, and even managed to use the puns in their daily lives. I'm very pleased.]

[Black Tower: Ha~ This is getting interesting. Suddenly we have two Muroko, who's quite close to the train.]

[Fireworks: Oh?! Could it be... a battle for the throne? Beautiful women fighting is quite a sight, not to be missed!]

[Xi Lian: Hmm... If we can become Fu Li without devouring each other, then it's not so bad if the object is the lovely Miss San Yue♪]

[March 7th: Huh? Me? That kind of thing is practically nonexistent now, right? I still think something else is more important. I really, really... I've figured this out at the same time as Lady Black Tower!]

[Star: Sigh... There's nothing I can do, March. This world has always been so cruel to second place. Maybe next time.]

[March 7th: Next time... will there really be another one?]

[Fireworks: Tsk, so harmonious... boring.]

While some in Lezi are lamenting the lack of bloodshed, many in the Milky Way are overjoyed at finally having hope of survival.

But soon, a voice from the light screen pulled them back to reality.

Xing, combining Danheng's deductions, keenly noticed something.

One reason why Onpharos can continuously restart the cycle of reincarnation and prevent the birth of the Iron Tomb is something outside of Caeslana.

"So Xi Lian's thirty million sacrifices..."

Dan Heng nodded: "We're thinking the same thing. If Onphalus is also in His sight, it's not hard to imagine that Fuli needs a mechanism to preserve a massive amount of memories in a corner where [intelligence] can't see them."

"In the past, this mechanism was [Time] and its demigods. But after Onpharos entered the infinite loop..."

Xingfu suddenly realized: "The divine authority of [Years] is vacant, and Xilian has become its agent."

"..." Dan Heng nodded emphatically, and then thought of something else: "It's that ceremonial sword."

……

On the eve of the first cycle of reincarnation, Xi Lian once said with certainty: "Now, I can be sure: [Time] is the page in the record of Onpharos by that Star God. If it disappears from the world, and everything it recorded is lost in the starry sky, that [Star God] will surely turn his gaze here..."

"That will be a glimpse across time and space, allowing each of me in the future to become your power to reset the years—infusing my soul into this ritual sword, creating an endless journey of fire."

……

Dan Heng seemed to understand: "At the beginning of each cycle of reincarnation, the ritual sword kills Xi Lian. At the end of each journey, the computational memories it carries are taken away by Xi Lian's soul and sunk into the Great Tomb."

"In this way, Onphalus's [memory] transcends the cycle and is continuously preserved. The scepter, however, is trapped in repeated process regressions due to the loss of logic."

"As long as this process continues, Fuli's protection will never disappear."

Xing and Danheng, as if on the same wavelength, turned their heads at the same time to look at the projection of Xi Lian not far away.

She gazed at the magnificent buildings around her, and the sounds of the past seemed to travel through time and reach the present: "I know that His gaze has never left."

"As long as I write down every page of the story and tell it to you..."

"Onpharos will not be abandoned."

The voice was incredibly soft, but when it reached Xing's ears, it only made her heart ache and feel an indescribable pain.

Dan Heng sighed with deep respect: "When Xi Lian met the Star God, she saw it as the hope for the continuation of the world. So, time and time again, she was willing to turn into a blank sheet of paper to offer her [memories] to Him."

"As for why we should take human form and tell stories..." Danheng was unsure about this as well.

"Perhaps for her, this is the only way to defend her humanity and leave a mark."

[March 7th: My God, Miss Xilian is so pitiful, yet so noble! I could barely stand being all alone for 97 days. For Xilian, that feeling of being alone must have lasted tens of billions of years! And she must have faced her "death" tens of millions of times along the way...]

[Jing Yuan: Such an experience transcends the suffering of the human world. The sun and moon of Caislana, Xilian, and Onphalus, through their foresight and immense perseverance, have extended the life of the universe for countless years! It is truly a miracle!]

[Yao Guang: To make such a precise judgment based solely on Fu Li's glance and the unusual details in Lai Gu Shi's words, and even to rise to become half a player of Onpharos with such meager resources, engaging in a continuous tug-of-war with their creator as a creator himself, despite being at a disadvantage, is truly... mouthwatering.]

[Fu Xuan: Hmm? Drooling?]

[Yao Guang: If she had been born on the Immortal Ship, I would have entrusted her with the General's talisman, binding her to the General's position even if it meant being tied down! Alas, now I have to settle for second best.]

[Sai Fei'er: No wonder the pink-haired elf can travel freely through the space of memories. But then again, I'm confused. Does this mean Xi Lian wasn't born with the flawless purity? Otherwise, wouldn't it have been better if she had directly inherited the Demigod of Time?]

[Black Tower: This is also an extremely difficult problem. The time of Xi Lian's birth is clearly very different from other Pure Ones without flaws. Hmph~~ Who knows when the incomplete cause and effect of Fu Li will be fully revealed.]
