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

Toppa shook the contract in his hand; it was a guarantee agreement from Bay City, internally considered a classic case of failed asset liquidation—a huge bad debt. This contract was merely to make it sound better.

But now...

She reached out and lightly tapped the paper twice.

Using a small ice hockey puck to exchange for a favor from the Star God—where has the company ever gotten such a great deal since its inception?

This is probably the best decision I've ever made in my life.

"That Miss Nameless Guest... no, I mean Ancestor Nameless Guest, she's truly a lucky star."

"Heh~ Heh haha." Sand Gold laughed heartily, clearly enjoying the drama. "But because of this, the board demoted you, right?"

"Their expressions must be priceless right now!"

"Sigh... If only those guys in the market development department would deliberately offend them."

……

Star Train.

"It's over, it's true." Various analyses were everywhere in the chat group. March 7th's heart skipped a beat, and he had no more doubts.

She covered her head, crying anxiously, "What happened?!"

How did the youngest member of the train suddenly become the oldest? If that's the case...

Does this mean I'll never get my ice cream back?!

Dan Heng's gaze swept over Xing from head to toe. Under such sharp scrutiny, Xing, who was initially shy, began to enjoy it. She straightened her back and raised her head, like a big star being bathed in the flash of lights.

Little Azure Dragon's expression immediately became extremely tense.

The train finding the Star God is indeed a great joy, but recalling all that has happened in the past, the Star God's character... oh dear, his character... truly worthy of being called the Star God, and even more worthy of being the Star God who is so close to Aha that he's practically inseparable.

"Star..." March 7th tentatively asked, "Can I still call you that?"

She had many questions, such as what exactly happened when "she" disappeared; were all the "fighting and joking" these days just a joke?

But when she opened her mouth, it was very difficult to speak. The difference between gods and mortals seemed to have already created a pitiful, thick barrier between them.

"Don't just call me Mom, you can call me Dad too... oh wait, no." Xing's mind raced, and she suddenly realized that this was a perfect opportunity.

She raised her nose, put one hand on her hip, and pointed at March 7th with the other, angrily saying, "Insolence! You call me the God of Expansion! Little March, since you see me come, why don't you bow?"

"Worship your big head!" March 7th's cheek twitched, his previous awe vanishing instantly: "Truly, you are something else."

It's confirmed, this is the Wolong found in the train's trash can.

"Heh~ How dare you look down on me?" Xing turned to Walter and said, "Yang Shu... Yang boy! Have you ever heard of the Pioneer Star God?"

Himeko and the others immediately widened their eyes.

Wow, you got into character pretty quickly.

On March 7th, he sighed, "This guy is hopeless."

Walter frowned slightly, pushed up his glasses with one hand, and subdued the arrogant and overbearing "Akivili" with a single sentence.

Have you ever heard of having your allowance halved?

"...Uh, hahaha, Uncle Yang, I was just kidding." Xing chuckled awkwardly, then suddenly slapped himself hard across the face, his expression agitated. "Hey! How dare you bewitch me! You think you can shake my respect for Uncle Yang? If you do it again, you'll be sorry!"

She turned her head and said, "Uncle Yang, I was possessed by Ah Ha just now, but I didn't say anything strange, did I?"

Haha: Are you being polite?

"no."

March 7th then asked, "Xing, don't you have any thoughts on this?"

Xing pinched her chin and said again, "Yes, of course! I want to change the locomotive into the shape of a trash can."

"No doormat!"

"Tsk~" Xing sighed as she watched Pam carrying a broom, ready to break her legs. "Akivili has no face at all. Who's in charge of this train, me or Pam?"

March 7th's brows twitched, and she coaxed, "What I wanted to ask was, didn't you remember anything? Like the mission of pioneering, or why you became you? Didn't you ever feel that 'a crack has been pried open in your long-buried memories, and you're having a splitting headache trying to remember something' feeling?"

"No, my mind is perfectly clear." Xing shook her head. "It's just a little empty."

[March 7th: Now, it's pretty much confirmed that Xing is Akivili... there's not much disagreement about that. But what exactly is her situation? This is the first time I've seen a Star God whose strength is even lower than the Commander's; what is her current state? A Star God cub?]

[Black Tower: I'm afraid no one knows the whole story except for herself. Remember when I gave her a physical exam on the space station? Apart from being able to stably carry a star core, she was no different from a healthy ordinary person.]

[Yao Guang: Let's focus on something more realistic. Admittedly, the Venerable One's outburst was astonishing, and even somewhat satisfying for the geniuses he had oppressed. But now that he's gone, who will deal with the Iron Tomb? Or, can our Archivist, with his limited but sufficient strength, defeat the Iron Tomb?]

[Fu Xuan: This matter is extremely strange; the way the Venerable Master Bo Shi broke through my defenses makes absolutely no sense.]

[Screw Gum: Everyone. Let's make a bold assumption. Previously, we always thought that the three questions posed by Erudite were a progressive, logically connected set of questions. But what if this default premise is wrong?]

[Star: Huh? What do you mean?]

[Black Tower: Screw, do you mean that, just as there are different outcomes in the end, these three questions are also different questions asked by the Venerable Master in different times, spaces, and circumstances?]

[ScrewGumm: Logically correct.]

[March 7th: And then what? What's the point?]

[Screw Gum: From a human perspective, this is indeed meaningless. But from the perspective of a star god, it's a completely different story. A small hypothesis—the "again" in Archibald's journey isn't the second time, but countless times! Perhaps, the Wise One has witnessed Archibald embark on countless journeys, trying to find a perfect ending. But faced with each and every end, He is helplessly stopped time and time again, yet He never gives up. And each time He faces the Wise One's inquiries, His answer is always the same: unwavering perseverance.]

[Black Tower: And so, the erudite monk had no choice but to accompany the defiant Akivili, watching those "ordinary" endings over and over again?]

[Fireworks: Rewatching the series repeatedly? That's hopeless. Looking at it this way, aren't Akivili and the Last King also a pair of star-crossed lovers? How many couples are there now?]

[Haha: So the robot head can only helplessly watch, becoming part of their game? Hahaha, this is hilarious! I'd be totally taken aback too! Seriously, that big robot head is a perfect third wheel!]

[Qingque: Isn't this the method Xing and Xilian used to defeat Zandal with "As I Write"? Is Onpharos definitely a world simulated by data? It feels a bit supernatural, isn't it? It's almost too effective!]
