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

[Star: March, tell me the truth, did you actually practice your jinxing skills?]

[March 7th: If I had really practiced, I'd show you right now what it means to have a silver tongue! I'd peck you to death!]

[Star: That's so awesome, no, so terrifying... Come on, fire at me!]

March 7th: I...

[Black Swan: However, Miss March 7th might really consider changing to a Memoriam. With your talent, you might have a unique understanding of Tao Card divination.]

[March 7th: Huh? This... I can't even tell if you're joking.]

[Dan Heng: Ahem, everyone, I didn't mean to disturb your career plans. However, the future shown on the screen doesn't seem very promising; in fact, one could say... Xing might be beheaded.]

[Star: Huh? Ah! It really is. Where did Lai Gu Shi tie me up? The new cycle of reincarnation hasn't even started yet, am I going to perish halfway through? Will I also have to fight my way out of the Black Tide like Bai E?]

[March 7th: Damn it, wasn't it agreed that the villains would be blind until the protagonist developed, and that we'd treat them like ants and ignore them? This time, it's actually a villain with intelligence!]

[Bai Er: Haha... Partner, you and your partner are really funny.]

Bai E was on the verge of tears, wondering if she had entrusted herself to the wrong person.

Onphalus's future looks bleak.

Danheng: ...

The cold-noodle-eating dragon suddenly went black in the eyes.

With those two guys' reaction time...

Are they destined to stop the Iron Tomb, turn the tide, and save the world from collapse?

He had a gut feeling that his future life would be anything but ordinary suffering.

God help me, Xing, please get through this difficult time.

[Star: Will Lai Gu Shi turn me into some kind of weird mutant?]

[Dan Heng: ...I'm begging you.]

The light curtain rippled, and the starlight cautiously scanned its surroundings.

Unfortunately, apart from the enormous pipes and some out-of-place old-fashioned televisions, there wasn't a soul in sight, let alone any ambush.

That's strange, what does this mean?

"Click!" The world was once again shrouded in a dim yellow filter, and a memory-like figure appeared not far away.

The figure vanished in a flash, but the voice it left behind was crystal clear: "Your Excellency, may we meet again in the new world."

[Xia Die: This is...me?]

[Star: It seems to be a new partner, but...]

[Firefly: The old cycle of reincarnation is nearing its end. It seems they've all reverted to data. Even in this state, they still made a special trip to say goodbye. It seems Xing... is really popular.]

[Silver Wolf: Hey Sam, watch out, this is the public chat.]

[Firefly: Ah!]

Xing tried to catch that fleeting figure but couldn't. But where she disappeared, the old-fashioned television clearly displayed: ">>> EpiieiKeia216, Power Source: ██, Titan Power: Death, Fate: ██ <<<"

[Black Tower: We've seen this information in previous files. Could these televisions be the physical hardware of the Golden Blood? So, is this the interior of the Scepter?]

[That Moment Summer: In reality, I actually look like this? Oh well, it's not so bad, at least it's not a yellow and purple color scheme.]

[Crydella: That's pretty good. At least here, everyone's size is equal.]

[March 7th: Your focus is so strange. The real important point is that Lai Gu Shi dared to send a star to such a core location, right? She never leaves empty-handed; if she saw the scepter's CPU, graphics card, RAM, or anything like that, she'd definitely take it all.]

[Star: Wherever Galaxy Batman goes, nothing grows! Not a single speck of light can escape my grasp!]

[Black Tower: However, this is a scepter. If she can dismantle it with her bare hands, the Venerable Master will definitely take notice of her.]

"Everyone will part from one person..." Tibo's figure flashed by in front of them as she silently recited the prophecy.

Xing rushed forward, only to find nothing; only a television set was still glowing.

She gradually came to understand, and bid farewell to each of the images of the Golden Descendants along the way.

After checking the last legal terminal, she turned her gaze to another unattended "television set".

She touched it again, but this time, neither a figure popped up nor any information appeared.

A strange, dim yellow filter and a feeling of weightlessness enveloped my entire body once again.

A mechanical female voice murmured in my ear like a clunking disc: "You feel ████".

hum!

The world suddenly returned to normal, and Hoshi found himself back in the place where he first met Harie.

If it weren't for the increasingly clear mechanical female voice in her ears, she would have thought she had traveled back a few minutes to the present.

"Abnormal value: star. Execution: Log instruction."

[Star: What does this mean? I was forcibly rolled back in time?]

[Black Tower: This phenomenon...it seems this is still not reality, perhaps it's the underlying data of the Scepter?]

[March 7th: Could it be that after suffering through eternal reincarnation, Lai Gushi intends to repay Lai Gushi with the same methods, hoping to trap the Death Star using the same techniques?]

[Star: No way... Lai Gushi, don't you even know the proper way to treat guests? At least show them some hospitality!]

Xing followed the previous path and continued forward. Looking at the final black "television set," with no other options to the left or right, she mentally prepared herself to "reload" her game again and tentatively reached out her hand.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened!

The screen froze for a moment, like a damaged disc, and a polite yet menacing voice came from behind her.

"Hehe, were you startled?"

[Star: Nonsense! Do you really have to come out from behind? Does it make you look more sophisticated?]

[March 7th: Um... are you having a conversation with him from afar?]

[Bai Lu: But doesn't it seem a bit scarier to suddenly attack from the front?]

Xing turned around warily, ready to fight at any moment.

But Lycus clearly had no intention of making a big fuss. He said leisurely, "This place is the boundary between Onpharos and the real universe. It is my audience seat for observing this experiment. You may also call it... [Beyond Myth]."

His gaze swept over the "television sets": "What you see before you is the true appearance of the Eternal Land and the twelve demigods after the disguise of the [Epic] has been removed."

Lycus's words revealed admiration: "Isn't it wonderful? Onphalus is like a microcosm of the Milky Way. People always love to describe the romance of the starry sky, but they forget another, more real universe in their words."

"When the ancient Antikythera people drew geometric shapes on the beach and recorded the first numerical symbols on parchment, the universe was transformed into a silent equation, appearing in the writings of these tireless codebreakers."

"[Knowledge] - It was once the mother tongue of the Creator, the pen of God, and the earliest lyric poem written by free will."
