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

[Star: Stop! Don't mention those three words!]

The moment that person's name was mentioned, she felt a surge of anger and a sharp pain in her teeth.

I didn't think much of it before, but now that things are almost over and I'm checking the accounts, I realize, how come he's everywhere?!

[Black Tower: Another "research result" from my senior? But... maybe it's actually true?]

Almost no one doubted it, and almost no one sought corroborating evidence to refute it; all that followed was a logical, natural conclusion, drawn from sources.

[Yao Guang: The thirty million cycles of reincarnation correspond to the final king's repeated restarts of the universe, and Xing has the mission of remembering everything in order to prevent the universe from changing drastically after each restart.]

[Sai Fei'er: So, if that's the case, when will the events of Iron Tomb clearing the Milky Way, and Hui Zi and Xi Lian remembering it, begin?]

[ScrewGumm: Perhaps it has already begun, but it's still unknown.]

[Star: No, no, no, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just pretend Zandal is dead. Let the little black cat worry about his feelings!]

I'm sorry, Lao Ji. Thank you, Lao Ji. This is what you do; this is the heavy responsibility you've long shouldered!

I'll take a break first...

As for what happens if "reincarnation" fails... well... I won't end up like Hei'e, having to take the baton and become the next Last King, will I?

"Bah! The little black cat's calculations are flawless; I certainly won't need to embark on the cycle of reincarnation!"

……

Dahlia looked at the star as if it were a delicacy: "The Star Core Hunter said that you are the one who can turn time and give it meaning; you are also the one who can reverse fate and make up for what is lacking."

She lifted the hem of her dress, got up, and walked to a corner of the room.

"Come on, I want to show you something."

[Star: This description...]

[March 7th: The more you talk about it, the more it seems to be true.]

Xing followed Dahlia's steps and arrived at the sofa at the other end of the room.

She looked closely and saw a black cat lying in the shadow of the sofa!

"...Elio?" she blurted out his name.

Previously, because the room was too dark and the cat exuded a resentful black aura that blended perfectly with the environment, she had not noticed it.

Now look... its golden eyes gleamed in the darkness, and judging from its expression, it was in a terrible mood. It looked like it was about to explode and smash someone's face with splattered thorns, let alone hiss.

Will it bite?

Xing came to the sofa, but Elio ignored her and remained motionless.

The dahlia beside her said, "This is what I promised you... the truth about the [End of Days]."

[Silver Wolf: You're quite generous, using our intelligence to do us a favor.]

[Dahlia: She has the right to know everything, doesn't she?]

[Black Swan: Hunters, you should have known she would do this; it's no surprise.]

Dahlia said calmly, "It is not Elio, but a wisp of the divine body of the [Last King]."

Xing's eyes widened immediately: "The Last King? A wisp?"

[March 7th: Really?!]

Although I had long suspected that its ability to foresee the future was related to the Last King, it was still shocking to have it so clearly exposed by an outsider...

Why is this bombshell news being released so casually?

[Black Tower: So, does that mean Eriol has more strands of his will, and that strand is the stronger one?]

[Yao Guang: The existence of the Last King is a blessing for the Milky Way and for life itself. But where did the Dahlia find this fragment of a divine body? Shouldn't the Star Core Hunter check his own coffers?]

[Star: Even a refrigerator.]

Dahlia's reaction to the star was not unexpected: "I have never witnessed this before; this is the scene the Star Core Hunter told me. When the Last King ascends to godhood again, He will reveal His thousand-armed divine form and proclaim this—"

She spoke solemnly in the voice of a deity: "Now I have become the End (Time), I raise the Wheel of Time, and will destroy the world."

"Afterwards, the [Last King] transformed into a pack of jet-black cats, containing all of the divine power. They will set out from the ends of the world, traveling against time, until the moment the universe was born."

"And what you saw was just one of them. Elio is a more special being; only the Star Core Hunters know his true identity."

[March 7th: Could it be that Eriol is the consciousness of the Last King?]

[Danheng: All of His divine power? His reversal wasn't unexpected, but did He really disintegrate His own power completely, leaving not a trace?]

[Black Tower: So, does that mean this galaxy is like the Pure One of Immaculate Conception, scattered with countless "Fragments of the Last King"? If we could retrieve one... no, it's best not to even consider that possibility, especially since it's best if our senior doesn't get his hands on it.]

[Saifeier: This is a bit like the immortals from beyond the heavens, and a bit like Tibo. And then, when He ascends to godhood again... He'll actually come back? And that thousand-armed divine form... a thousand cat paws, that must be incredibly spectacular!]

[Star: That makes things much easier.]

Xing touched her chin and fell into deep thought, instinctively making silly jokes here and there.

Something's not right here.

The fact that Brother Mo Wang has shown up basically means that she's definitely not going to have a good time!

……

Xing frowned: "What connection do I have with it?"

Dahlia smiled faintly: "The ending you haven't yet recalled will tell you the truth—but you must be prepared."

"In fact, after God the Sun fell, until he left Pinocchio, Firefly did not see anyone, including you."

[Firefly: Huh?!]

Luckily, I activated sensory synchronization just now, otherwise Grammer would have really lost out!

[Star: Huh?!]

Luckily, I stubbornly refused to pay Hanabi's bill earlier, otherwise I would have really lost a fortune at the Black Tower Space Station! Kneel down and let Hanabi ride me? Second only to drinking Himeko's coffee to my heart's content!

[Star: Fireworks. Come here, I need to talk to you about something. Didn't you want payment? I'll give you double!]

[Hanabi: Huh? Ahahaha... Lady Hanabi is always happy to help others, isn't this little favor just what I should do? See you later!]

Xing's eyes widened.

So, how did those memories appear? Were they all just her own imagination?

And what about Liu Ying? If she wasn't alright, what would become of her now?!

Dahlia recounted the events of that day in detail: "She knew how tragic the third death would be, so she only dared to watch you from afar, and as she was about to disappear, she hid away alone."

"But sad memories are also precious—if you can accept separation with equanimity, you will have the power to create reunions."

"When people bid farewell to their deceased loved ones, they should weep as soon as possible, while the loved ones can still hear them—so that they may know how many people love them."

Xing didn't hesitate for long. With sadness still etched on her brow, she resolutely said, "Let's begin. I will prove that they existed."
