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

[March 7th: Star... How much determination did you have to say something like that? @Danheng, tell her about it!]

[Dan Heng: Hmm? Who are you looking for? Is there someone with the same name as me on the Star Train? Such coincidences are truly astounding.]

[March 7th: No, Teacher Danheng!]

Beyond the mythology, Lai Gu Shi looked at the messages flashing on the screen with a rather helpless expression.

It's a special kind of helplessness that arises from the inability to communicate normally with his intelligence, leading to a stirring of the emotional level, while his vast rational level is left scratching the surface.

Perhaps this could be considered an accident? It's just not very surprising.

"However, there's one thing they still haven't grasped. The star itself is more important than the seed of destruction."

However, that was no longer his most interesting topic, and if the other party was just being silly, there was no need to actively promote it.

[Rakushi: It seems that those who expand their influence also possess a pioneering spirit in terms of intellectual agility and understanding of arts that are difficult for ordinary people to master.]

[March 7th: Next time, just say it's abstract to the extreme, but this time, I really can't bring myself to defend it.]

[Feng Jin: It seems like Lai Gu Shi Kua really had a hard time doing this?]

[Himeko: Hoshi is really... brave. But while this prospect looks good and has a lot of potential, the success rate is only one-third—though that's not a small number—have you considered what might happen to the other two-thirds?]

March 7th: If we fail, bang...

[Star: Don't worry, I have a plan! One star core is a third of a star, so if I find two more, won't my plan be a success?]

[March 7th: So if you collect all six, does that mean you can get double the number of the most unique items in the galaxy?]

[Star: March 7th understands me best; you truly are my Phoenix Chick!]

[March 7th: No! I can't afford to lose face like that.]

[Fireworks: What a pity~~ Little Gray's mouth isn't tight-lipped, Lai Gu Shi probably won't fall for it.]

……

"Hehehe..." Xing looked at the screen with a mischievous grin.

March 7th tentatively asked, "You don't actually think that way, do you?"

"Huh?" Xing turned her head and looked at her in confusion. "How is that possible? To use myself as an experiment for Lai Gu Shi? Unless I'm crazy."

Your current state is almost indistinguishable from being insane!

March 7th inwardly scoffed, but seeing her perfectly normal expression, she felt a pang of curiosity: "Then what you were saying earlier..."

"Hehe." Xing's face contorted into a comical grin: "Don't you think it'll be funny when everyone looks like they have a headache?"

"It would be even better if we could use this kind of psychological attack to make Raiko Shi short-circuit."

She stroked her chin, saying with a hint of regret, "But unfortunately, it seems his mental state is exceptionally good, sigh..."

"How about we do it a few more times?"

"..." March 7th's eyebrows trembled.

Again? At this rate, Lai Gushi won't go crazy yet, she'll go crazy first!

……

The light screen slowly rotated.

Xing stood with one hand on his hip, completely unconcerned about the price offered by Lai Gu Shi: "I can dominate the galaxy even without relying on you."

[March 7th: It's really something you could say.]

Lai Gushi shook his head: "There is a subtle difference between 'unique' and 'supreme,' but..."

He paused briefly, then turned around: "I have fully grasped the decisiveness in your words. You may continue your journey."

The negotiation, which he initiated, was terminated by him after Xing slightly expressed her refusal. It ended so insignificantly, without hesitation or expectation.

[Feixiao: Oh? They didn't even imprison them, but just released them. Is that what you call martial ethics?]

Xingdu was a little taken aback: "So, what are you here for?"

"Hehe, it seems you haven't realized it yet."

Lai Gushi smiled calmly: "The realm beyond mythology is the domain of knowledge. Here, you cannot physically interfere with me, and vice versa."

"Since the negotiations have broken down, there is no need for us to remain in the audience. Please return to the play and meet me again in Onphalus."

"Of course, this meeting was not entirely without value." Lai Gu Shi crossed his arms, and the entire space was bathed in a dim yellow filter as he moved, causing Xing's consciousness to blur once again, unable to resist.

"Your visit adds a new note to [Beyond Mythology]."

The star was forcibly driven away, just as it had been forcibly brought in at the beginning. In the pitch-black vision, only one sentence still echoed in its ears.

"As for its meaning—I will reveal it to you in detail when we meet again."

[Star: I knew it, it wasn't that simple. Looks like I'm going to have to go to nuclear explosion with Star sooner or later?]

[March 7th: Shh! You can't just say that, flags can... oops! What if we misunderstood, and he was actually talking about something else?]

[Black Tower: Hard to say. Who would dare bet that Lai Gushi was spouting nonsense after all he said?]

[Star: Ugh... No, the more I think about it, the more upset I get. @Lin Shuo, director, is there anything more exciting?]

[Lin Shuo: Yes...of course there is, I'm just afraid you won't dare to watch.]

[Star: Haha, I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Let it all out! The more intense, the better!]

[Jingyuan: Now that things have come to this, if we cannot know ourselves and our enemy, we have no chance of winning against the ancient scholars. Whatever other shocking research they may have, we will bear it.]

The group chat was immediately filled with agreement. The pressure from Lai Gushi was immense; in order to survive, they had to seize every opportunity.

……

"An even greater achievement?" Black Tower murmured softly, his fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on the coffee cup.

If, as she suspected, Laigushi's identity was indeed that of...

His most astonishing achievement is nothing more than...

"Come on, let me see your true colors, senior."

……

[Lin Shuo: You guys said it.]

—[Next, we will begin playing: "My Executioner".]

[Su Chang: Is this... some kind of scientific research achievement of Lai Gushi?]

[Star: It doesn't sound like it at all, executioner... Has Ragushi been executed? That's a good thing, what's so scary about it?]

The light screen surged, and a traditional Chinese ink painting slowly unfolded, accompanied by ethereal and elegant music, creating a serene and melodious atmosphere.

[Fu Xuan: This scenery...why does it resemble the style of a celestial ship? Could it be that the true form of the ancient scholar is connected to the Celestial Ship Alliance?]

[Black Tower: Did I guess wrong?]

At this moment, the people in the group chat were unaware of what awaited them ahead.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lai Gushi's voice reappeared, though it seemed somewhat hesitant and stuttering.

He recited in a solemn voice:

"Ah, savior from beyond the heavens, my executioner."

"❤How much longer until she arrives here❤"

[Star: Ah! That terrified me!]

[March 7th: No, this is really weird, you know?]

The world fell silent...
