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

Xi Lian's smile suddenly froze, and the screen was filled with streaks of color like a jigsaw puzzle, while the unstable electrical noise made people instinctively uneasy.

The image flashed suddenly, transforming from a lone girl sitting in space to an old-fashioned computer interface.

The incomprehensible code flashed by rapidly.

The stars, and the hearts of everyone who witnessed it all, twitched in rhythm with the flashing of the colored blocks.

"No way? It's gotten this bad already, can it really get any worse?"

Xing didn't know what would happen, but looking at the red-font code, even a fool could tell it wouldn't be anything good.

The problem is, even though it's already the end, there's still an even worse ending? What's wrong with this universe? Isn't the bottom line a little too low?

"And then..." Xi Lian's voice drew everyone's attention.

She forced down her slightly trembling voice and managed to offer her best wishes: "Let's move towards tomorrow."

The code abruptly stopped.

A line of white text appeared on the light screen: Goodbye [Onfaros].

Xing's heart and lungs suddenly stopped.

[Black Tower: Why? What did Xi Lian do? Her voice was still trembling with tears; it was clearly a farewell.]

[Star: No, why can't there even be two people left? Why am I the only one left? I might as well be dead!]

A pop-up window appeared on the light screen, which clearly stated: Data deletion progress: xx.

This time, the loading screen was completely smooth, without any lag. However, there was no longer the ending where, when the Iron Tomb abandoned the Divine Kingdom, the Immortal Boat Alliance, Pinocchio, and others were all deleted.

This time, there are only ChrysosHeirs, only those of the Golden Descent.

The light curtain went completely dark.

[March 7th: Wow... that was a really explosive ending. I thought it was an Easter egg, or that there was still a chance for a turn of events...]

[Xu Zhao: I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Xi Lian's words just now gave me a strange feeling of a terminally ill wife lying in bed, on her deathbed, holding her husband's hand and smiling as she says, "Find someone better."]

[Star: Thank you so much! Such a vivid and powerful metaphor is best enjoyed in private; there's no need to scare people by saying it aloud!]

[Xi Lian: Hmm~~ What a heartbreakingly beautiful story.]

[Star: This analogy... isn't entirely wrong.]

[March 7th: Hello, hello.]

[Firefly: Hmm, if I were there, would Xing be heartbroken for me?]

[Silver Wolf: Hey! Don't let your competitive spirit flare up in this weird place, you really might... oops!]

[Su Chang: Speaking of which, is it possible that everyone in Onphalus has become real life, so the data in the scepter is useless?]

[Dr. Truth: That's right, optimism is a valuable quality.]

[Xia Die: Good idea, perhaps it could be applied to literary creation.]

[Su Chang: No, is my idea really that abstract? Could it inspire Xia Die?]

[Bai'er: We didn't want this either.]

The Golden Descendants looked at each other, their expressions somber, unable to utter a single word.

It seems that no matter what happens outside the heavens, Onphalus is definitely doomed. The Last King's prophecy is no joke; do they really think they can avoid it by refusing to believe it?

Given that all of them are safe and sound, perhaps Xia Die's unofficial history is more credible!

[Black Tower: So, considering what Xi Lian said in the final scene, even if the end is reached, Xing still has a path to follow, and exploration can continue?]

[March 7th: Can this still be called the end times?]

[ScrewGumm: Speculation. Not necessarily impossible. The end of memory is still different from other things—since the universe is frozen, it must also be able to thaw. Leaving aside harmony for now, the end brought about by destruction and nothingness is absolutely impossible. So if at this point in time the universe is bound to face an end, then choosing memory and overcoming it with all one's might indeed be a viable option.]

[Jing Yuan: You mean, put yourself in a do-or-die situation and you'll survive? That makes some sense. So, Xi Lian's final act of deleting the Golden Descendants was to cut off the Iron Tomb's power at its root. After all, friend and foe share the same origin; the Iron Tomb's ascension is the result of the thirteen Golden Descendants' evolution over generations.]

[Black Tower: Too little information, too many loopholes. This inference, while not zero in probability, is merely not zero.]

[Fireworks: But it seems that we bystanders can actually survive regardless of whether it's ending A or B?]

[Scott: Oh, great! My house, my car, and my savings—you don't have to leave me, hahaha.]

[Gold Sand: Tsk, a bad happy ending?]

A small number of people in the universe began to rejoice, their eyes filled with tears.

But for many others, the feeling was extremely conflicted. Being freed from the oppression of the fear of death was indeed a great relief.

But they also understood that the train crew and the Golden Descendants, who had paid the most for this outcome, would not feel any joy if one side were to perish.

To celebrate under these circumstances is utterly heartless.

[Himeko: Everyone, I don't think things are quite pessimistic yet.]

[Star: Really?!]

[Fu Xuan: Lady Himeko, of course I understand your feelings; after all, the train never abandons anyone. However, given the Last King's understanding of fate...]

Himeko: Haha, of course I wouldn't say anything impulsive. Eriol does indeed possess extraordinary abilities, but don't forget, what we just saw wasn't a confirmed reality, but rather the "ending" he saw. A few minutes of footage cannot explain the universe, and his vertical pupils may not have a vision so vast as to be infallible.

Besides, hmph. Let me be frank, this SSS-ranked hero is undoubtedly Miss Xi Lian. And the missing thirteenth Titan must also be her.

But don't you think her role in all of this was far too passive? Furthermore, for a great movie, if the plot is revealed too early, its completion rate will be quite worrying. What's more, this "8th Scene" is shown from a third-party perspective; if it's entirely accurate, then this "film" is a complete failure. And if Kaituo can only follow a predetermined path, then we've also failed miserably.

[Yao Guang: Haha, such a confident deduction! Although it lacks empirical evidence, I really like it. I wish you success, and hope you leave a bright red handprint on that little black cat's cheek! Whew!]

[Star: We definitely will! We'll all see each other again tomorrow!]

[Xi Lian: Yes, with my partner here, we definitely, definitely can create a romantic story unlike any other!]
