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

[Yao Guang: This statement... "Memories cannot be viewed from the perspective of the past"? This statement is quite subtle.]

[Xi Lian: Do you remember?]

The black swan image disappears. The transition marker is a pattern of blooming flowers, within which candles burn with a ghostly blue light, and leaping within that flame is a path of fate leading astray.

From "The Pioneers: Checking into the Daydream Hotel" to "The Pioneers: The Fireworks Bomb Incident," a complex and intricate event tree was clearly laid out before her eyes.

[Star: Huh? What's this?]

[March 7th: Is this a compilation of events we've experienced? Who made this?]

[Bai E: Have you guys noticed that the border... is yellow and purple?]

[Aglaia: Sigh...]

[That Summer: Bai E, your graduation certificate is revoked.]

[Black Swan: @Dahlia, darling, I can't believe you're so bold as to dare spy on the Starry Sky Train? What makes you think Miss Long Night Moon would be easy to talk to?]

The two of them were equally skilled; Changyeyue could toy with her like it was nothing, and the dahlias were naturally just as good!

[Black Swan: Miss Changyeyue, that's a truly exquisite appearance.]

[Dahlia: Oh dear, how heartless! And...heh, surveillance? It should be said, recording. And even if it was recording, it was someone else. More likely, I'm just using this to tell a story.]

[Silver Wolf: I really don't know what Elio was thinking, getting involved with you. He's so quick to betray his employer's information.]

[Star: Is she one of the Star Core Hunters?]

Silver Wolf: No, um... I mean, in a little while.

The ghostly blue flames burned away the last three items in the storyline.

The dahlia whispered, "They're not that they're not real; it's just that things always appear different from different perspectives... Think about it, when have we ever seen our true selves in a mirror (the reflection of memories)?"

"And I will no longer be able to offer you any help."

"Your memories, after all, belong only to you. Fate has only allowed me to get involved to this extent. But you must remember—"

How memories ultimately manifest is up to you.

Inside the Starry Sky Train, Xing stroked her chin, looking thoughtful.

[Star: So, what I saw before was just the version circulating in the community? Or rather, the version from my hindsight? My memory has been altered? What?! I thought the Japanese were going to use a condom, but it turns out they were just filling in the gaps little by little. That scared me. Peanuts, melon seeds, popcorn, and soda, let's get started!]

[Sunday: See, everyone, I wasn't lying!]

[Yao Guang: But it's not time to let our guard down yet. After all, it's obvious that this "different perspective" version will become a consensus in the universe. We can't just let Xing give himself away by casually exchanging a few words with someone around him, can we? Everyone, but to fabricate the memories of everyone in the universe at will... that's not a simple matter.]

The Galaxy team tensed up again.

The ability to manipulate the memories of everyone in the world at once...

[Star: So, there was a Star God-level being... who coveted my memories and my extraordinary wisdom, and stole them all? How despicable! What an impolite fellow!]

[Fireworks: Memories are one thing, but who would be interested in your "astounding wisdom"? Let alone covet it? Is it some kind of entertainment god?]

[Himeko: That being must have had a very profound reason for doing this.]

"People cannot dream of things they have never seen, and they never dare to wake up from their dreams (lacking the courage to face the future) because beautiful dreams are woven from each person's past, and they are still unable to let go of it."

"Just like what you are doing right now, only by embracing the past can you have the strength to move into the future."

"Firefly, I am the Star Core Hunter, this world... is waiting for you to cross that threshold."

Dahlia's voice grew increasingly excited, even trembling slightly: "I really can't tell if this is nervousness or elation. Star, you are different, unique, and worthy of my anticipation—"

A locked chapter has been added to the forks in the road of fate.

"Let's write the opening lines for our memories once again!"

"From the ashes of time, you must rekindle [destiny]."

[Star: Dahlia's voice seems to have a certain... charm on me!]

[Black Swan: You'd better watch out for her. The lies that tongue spews out are more numerous than the stars Akivilli has traversed, and the neck that its tail coiled around and then snapped itself has more branches than the branches of a towering tree.]

[Dahlia: Oh my god~~ Darling, you have quite a prejudice against me. It was just my experience of the various aspects of human life~~]

[Qingque: Am I the only one who feels that Dahlia's words seem to imply that this chapter is a special favor for Xing, something she had to do to ensure her success in future expansion? Won't we outsiders be silenced if we read this?]

She said anxiously.

Even now, we're about 60% certain who the guy who sealed off these memories and made Huanyu live a life of mere scraps is.

Fuli may be able to do it, but He has not yet been born; His mysterious abilities are also sufficient, but there is no trace of His actions.

The remaining one is strongly related to both the Star Train and the Star Core Hunter, and there's someone with this level of skill...

"Haha, haha... Is this universe going to end again?"

The Last King!

It's highly likely that it was His doing!

But she didn't dare to say it.

[Fu Xuan: Good progress. Your brain is capable of anything if you're willing to run at full speed. Why are you so energy-efficient normally? As for worries, what can we do now that things have come to this?]

[Star: There's nothing to be afraid of anymore. Come on, old man, let me see what other hidden tricks you have up your sleeve!]

As the divergent paths of fate dissipated and the voice of the dahlia faded away, Xing's mind spun rapidly.

When I woke up again, the dimly lit hotel bedroom, the dahlia that told stories, and the black cat had all disappeared.

She returned to the Daydream Hotel from "that day" and saw Huang Quan and the Black Swan again.

The conversation was almost identical, except the Black Swan was in a much worse state, completely lacking the pride and composure that had pulled Xing out of her memories.

"But I wasn't so lucky. Even as a Memory Receiver, I was still affected by the Order and fell into hallucinations."

Huang Quan said solemnly, "The truth of the dream is not just this. We must tell all those who are willing to wake up so that we can work together to end the long night."

[March 7th: Why does it feel like the situation is worse this time? Last time at least it was Huang Quan and Black Swan who found help, but this time... is it actually just Huang Quan alone?]

[Black Tower: The power of nothingness? That's practically a bug in this world.]

[Yao Guang: I can't even imagine. If Tiernan hadn't disappeared on the front lines, hadn't joined the Sea Rangers after his disappearance, and hadn't undergone the Yellow Springs Rescue after joining the Rangers, then the Yellow Springs wouldn't have come to Pinocchio. The slightest error in any link of this fragile chain would have caused the entire event to take a sharp turn for the worse, and the battle would have been lost before it even began.]

[Star: Little black cat, was this also part of your calculations?]
