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

[Yao Guang: This guy's experiments were more accurate than any divination performed by the Ten Directions Light Illuminating the Dharma Realm. Yet, due to his excessive curiosity, he wasted most of his life cleaning up the messes left by his earlier mistakes. It's a complete waste of talent, a shameful squandering of his intelligence.]

[Star: Zandal, that kid, he's been smart since he was little. It's a pity he didn't take the right path at such a young age. If he had put that intelligence into studying... no, into the right path, he would have been incredibly successful long ago.]

[Qingque: You're already quite accomplished. Any more accomplished and the entire universe, including the Star Gods, would be doomed! And where did you learn that tone? It sounds so much like how my mother and the Grand Diviner scold me!]

[Star: Hehe~~]

[March 7th: So... who will crush the Iron Tomb next? The Venerable One was so angry he left; surely he won't just give up on himself and die for good, right?]

[Star: Uh…]

Her face darkened, and she pursed her lips as she looked at the large exclamation mark on the screen.

He thought to himself: Surely the erudite monk's mental fortitude isn't that bad?

However, in the next instant, the light curtain began to flow again.

Everyone was startled; this wasn't over yet, there was still a chance for things to change!

The chat group, where everyone was talking at once and expressing their own opinions, immediately fell silent.

In the darkness, a line of words, typed by an unknown person, was spontaneously understood by Xing in his mind.

The exclamation mark (!) – In programming languages, it's added before an expression to indicate whether or not a target value is being evaluated. Perhaps it means: to always question what is yet to come.

But He said no more, and that was the whole answer. Perhaps you answered; perhaps you didn't. Everything has already happened—

Xing, who was talking to the learned scholar, scratched his head.

Is this... considered passing the test? When my consciousness returns to reality, will I be hit in the face by the Iron Tomb's energy wave and die?

Honestly, Master Boshi doesn't even give us a straight answer. Did we pass or not?

"Well done!" The Black Tower's communication voice came through after a long absence: "Your choice has become a new variable."

"The calculations of the Venerable Master have not stopped. The decisive battle is not over yet. Quickly, return to reality."

"The future of the Milky Way is in your hands."

[Yao Guang: The Learned One has relented!]

[March 7th: You actually did it? Xing, you're amazing!]

The most intelligent star god in the entire universe was actually defeated by a star?!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, overwhelming excitement finally rushed to his head. March 7th, in a display of intense passion, pounced on Xing and gave her a fierce bite on the cheek.

"Mua!"

"Ugh~~ So much saliva, it's disgusting."

"Hey! You rascal, my mouth is perfectly clean. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll give you a couple of punches, you hear me?"

Not only the Star Train, but the entire universe cheered at almost the same moment.

The dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads because of the capricious nature of the Venerable Master Hushupta has finally dissipated!

At least this time, He stood on the side of everyone in the galaxy.

There are many people in the universe who weep with joy.

"My dear mother, please don't let this kind of test happen a second time!"

[Qingque: This was so tough! I thought I was doomed this time, and I almost decided to just quit and wait to die, even for the n+1 severance package!]

[Fu Xuan: Hmm?]

Fu Xuan was startled: That was close! His carefully chosen successor almost had a mental breakdown and completely gave up. If this part hadn't been released, she would have been the only one injured in the entire galaxy?

……

On a Sunday, I looked out from the railing of Pinocchio's most magnificent building.

He saw that the frenzied crowd stopped almost instantly. Those who felt they were entering their "final moments," whose mentality had collapsed, and who were planning to indulge in debauchery and release their deepest darkness all calmed down.

A chaotic storm that could have turned Pinocchio into anarchy has passed.

As if nothing had ever happened, Pinocchio once again entered into boundless joy.

[Sunday: Well, that's fine too...]

[Bai E: That's really scary. After that shout from the Venerable Master Bo Shi, and that sudden exclamation, for a moment I had the feeling that He was giving his partner the middle finger. I didn't expect that it turned out that He acknowledged her status as a variable?]

[Fireworks: Tsk tsk tsk. He openly called him by his name, seemingly letting his guard down, but secretly he was calculating. Who would have thought the Learned One was such a tsundere? And so two-faced. Could He... have some special feelings for Akivili? Hehehe...]

It was like smelling something alluring.

She counted them carefully.

[Fireworks: Pioneer is already entangled with the End, and before that he was hanging out with the God of Joy. Now, the Venerable One also seems to have a "secret crush" on Him. Tsk tsk tsk, is this Akivilli's way of pioneering?]

[Haha: Waaaaah, Akivili is such a womanizer. He sees everyone as a wife...]

[Xia Die: That's great! It's unexpectedly inspiring; I feel like I could write tens of millions of words.]

[Phantom Image: Absolutely right, sis! Finally, someone's talking about normal celestial relationships!]

[Star: Where's the normality? Oh no, Xia Die, for the sake of our sincere future relationship, please let Akivili go!]

It's really hard to say whether being killed by the Iron Tomb or being killed by the Iron Tomb is more tragic!

[Yao Guang: Hmph, what if that's the real reason? However, it's more likely that Xing has shown enough potential to be considered a "variable," piquing the curiosity of the learned Venerable.]

[Black Tower: That's right, that's the most likely conclusion. Even if, according to previous speculation, the Wise One was already tired of His countless futile efforts, what could he do when Akivili was relentlessly expanding into the unknown? In this respect, exploration truly embodies the power of intellect.]

[Qingque: So, you could say that Kaituo is a naturally alluring being specifically designed for intellectual pursuits?]

[Silver Wolf: LOL, this is like saying the universe is a gigantic Galakrond.]

[Star: What if...it really is?]

[Black Tower: This argument... is unconventional, but not without merit. Plus, the little guy demonstrated his determination to save everyone with two questions, and his silence on the last question left the erudite monk with no way to calculate further. Taken together, this finally forced the machine head to accept it, even if it had to hold its nose.]

[Screw Gum: But that's just acknowledging it. It must be said, we didn't achieve the best possible outcome in the debate. Clearly, because Xing displayed too many "possibilities," Bo Shi Zun didn't intend to directly retaliate, but instead chose to remain on the sidelines.]

[March 7th: No way? He still wants to see?]

[Star: Oh no, I used too much force!]

Inside the Starry Sky Train, everyone was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Previously, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to persuade him. I just wanted to bring that big Buddha down and teach the Iron Tomb a lesson with a casual move.

To everyone's surprise, the Buddha was very satisfied and then said: "Although you haven't been strengthened by me, hurry up and come on!"

Xing scratched his head: "I've become a key player?"
