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

"Blessed by heaven!" The black swan's eyes shone, her demeanor still elegant and graceful, but reflected in the pink-haired little girl's eyes, there seemed to be a hint of... covetousness?

"Memory Spirits, as the name suggests, are beings that exist in relation to memories. Therefore, they naturally have a certain degree of 'master-servant relationship' with the original owner of the memory."

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile played on her lips: "And that's why very few humans become memory spirits, but it also means that these 'lucky ones' all have extraordinary origins and possess incredible and wonderful memories."

What's more, it was born in the mysterious land of Onphalus. With such double the allure, it's simply irresistible!

She lightly touched her lips with her finger. Compared to geniuses, these people also possess their own kind of "curiosity."

[Black Swan: Miss Xi Lian, you wouldn't mind having more assistance, would you? I'm very enthusiastic about fighting alongside you.]

[Xi Lian: Of course, why would anyone mind a beautiful lady offering them a helping hand?]

[Bai E: Xi Lian...]

[Star: My friend, you're so strong... Becoming a Memory Spirit means being controlled by others, which isn't a good thing.]

Seeing the two of them fighting together in the light screen, and recalling Xi Lian's resolute decision to initiate the Eternal Cycle, she felt a deep pity for this companion she had never met.

Also, if Xi Lian is Yi Ling, then who is she relying on? Who is so lucky as to be able to summon such a cute girl so easily?

Then, a sound came from the screen again.

"Perfect." Xi Lian was completely unconcerned about her condition; on the contrary, she was somewhat relieved: "This way, I can serve as the vessel for [memories] and contribute to the final battle."

Seeing Xi Lian so calm, Hei Ta felt a sense of relief.

In that case, many necessary things can be said more easily.

"So before that, we have an obligation to tell you..."

"Your destiny is very special; it's definitely not as simple as just [Memory Spirit]. But there's one thing I'm certain of—"

"You are a meme born in Onphalus, awakened by the arrival of the star, and growing as she walks the path of [Memory]."

"This means that you can only exist by clinging to the memories of the stars."

[Hanabi: Oh wow, the gray-haired little guy and the pink-haired magical girl made a contract?]

[Star: Who? Me?!]

[Xi Lian: Hehe~~ How are you? Happy?]

Xing was instantly energized.

I was just wondering who got lucky, and it turns out it was her!

Can I summon a pink-haired beauty anytime?

Reason told her that Xi Lian's plight was pitiful, but a rebellious thought within her made her want to laugh. In an instant, she was torn between her own desires and her inner struggle.

A moment later, she turned sharply and said excitedly to Himeko, "Let's go to Onpharos right now! I can't wait to save the world; I can't stay here a moment longer!"

"Is your drive to get bored with the new really that strong?" March 7th looked at Xing, who seemed to have lost her mind, and casually brushed a strand of hair behind her ear: "I have pink hair too."

Himeko chuckled and said, "Coordinates? We don't know the coordinates yet."

Just as the train was enjoying a peaceful moment, the black tower in the light screen delivered some news that was anything but good.

She said solemnly, "If one day—even for just a few seconds—she forgets you, or loses the last connection with Onphalus..."

"Prepare for the worst—you will disappear into the memory realm without leaving a single number behind."

[March 7th: Huh? It even includes deleting the hard drive? I have a feeling that specifically mentioning this line is bound to cause trouble...]

[Star: March, stop! Don't worry, buddy, it's just about not forgetting you, right? Too easy. I'll hang your picture opposite my bed, and I'll sleep with one eye open from now on.]

[Xi Lian: I'm truly flattered that you value me so much. But you still need to make sure you get plenty of rest♪]

[Firefly: Becoming a star's memory spirit has this kind of benefit? Hmm...]

[March 7th: Huh? Benefits? No, sister, what are you talking about?]

"..." Xi Lian's expression froze for a moment, but after a short while, she smiled again and said, "But all of this already happened, didn't it?"

"No wonder I always had this feeling. In this way, it confirms what people have always said..."

"We can do anything as long as we're with our partners!"

The filter of memory has faded.

Through the cracks in her memory, Xing slowly opened her eyes; she had already understood everything.

"Long time no see, buddy." A clear voice came from behind.

Xing suddenly turned around and saw that small figure. She was still as lovely as ever, just like the first time she saw her.

"Have you missed me during this time apart?"

A relaxed smile appeared on Xing's face as the two slowly walked towards each other.

"Xi Lian, it's been a long time."

"Yes, a thousand years is such a long time... Everyone in Onphalus is waiting for the return of the Savior."

"My comrades should know about the geniuses' plans from their memories. In order to avoid being discovered by Rikushi, I must carefully hide in the corner of the Time and wait for my opportunity."

Xi Lian and Xing exchanged a glance: "That is, right now, at this moment when his avatar inside the world is destroyed and the two timelines intersect."

Unbeknownst to her, the elaborate scheme she had devised for Laigu Shi had already reached its second step.

Xing glanced at the person beside her, her eyes narrowing slightly. Xi Lian spoke casually, but was Lai Gu Shi an easy opponent? A thousand years of relentless pursuit meant he was bound to face death at most.

But thankfully, it's all in the past now.

The time for a counterattack has come!

As she spoke, a hint of apology appeared between Xi Lian's brows: "I'm sorry for keeping this from you all this time... As an apology, once everything has settled down, I will tell you the whole story of the past thousand years."

[Star: Okay, I will remember every word carefully.]

"And now, let us join hands and use the power of [memory] to complete the final step."

Xing nodded: "Let's go, and defeat Lai Gu Shi together."

"Of course! By the way, speaking of 'joining hands'..." Xi Lian's golden boots made a crisp sound in the white world.

She came up to Xing, put her hands behind her back, and bowed slightly, her posture a blend of a little girl's coquettishness and a "bad woman's" allure.

Xi Lian: "(·ω＜ )★"

A strange sound erupted, and the notes of memory stirred intense ripples in their minds.

"Before I step onto the stage, please allow me to be a little willful one more time♪"
