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

Everyone in the world was immediately filled with anxiety, and many people were even brought to tears on the spot.

In such a short time, how many times have they narrowly escaped cosmic extinction-level crises? If Xing says just one wrong word, they'll be finished on the spot?

Is this even allowed to live like this?

[March 7th: No, it's already this late, and there are still no experts who haven't shown up?]

[Qingque: I'm tired. Let it end, just don't suffer too much.]

Star Train.

Xing stared blankly at the light screen.

If Screw's guess is correct, and given that there are only two people left on Weng Xing "now," then could the so-called fourth final candidate be...?

"Is it me?"

Xing was dumbfounded.

If I answer incorrectly, will I become the Last King and destroy the universe?!

That's so exciting!

Dan Heng was stunned for a moment.

She thought to herself: It seems she's overlooked someone extremely easily. There are only two options; how could she possibly choose the wrong one?

……

As the light screen began to shift, the hearts of all the viewers skipped a beat.

What was bound to happen has happened; there's no escaping it.

They once again focused their attention on the gray-haired woman. What gave them some confidence was that the star on the screen and the one who was laughing and joking in the chat group had completely different expressions.

[Potio: Come on, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.]

[Hanabi: Little Grey, let someone see the bond between you and Kaito! This is your specialty, you can't really answer wrong, can you?]

"Who?!" Xing Meng turned around to look behind him, but the dim environment vanished in an instant.

She blinked, and she was still standing on the magic circle in the starry sky.

She looked around in confusion.

That was...

Xi Lian was slightly taken aback.

He assumed his friend was just overwhelmed by stress and acting nervously. So he slowly walked up to her, smiling gently, and said, "Don't be afraid, Xing. If you're nervous, just hold my hand."

"Actually, people have always thought you're amazing. After all, the path of 'pioneering' isn't guided by any gods; it can only be paved step by step by humankind..."

"So now, as a senior, please pass on your knowledge and skills to the great masters of Onpharos?"

[March 7th: Miss Xi Lian, you're so kind. Even though she doesn't know what happened, she'll help you.]

[Star: This feeling... Mom!]

[Xi Lian: Be good~~ As long as we're together, everything will be alright.]

[March 7th: Miss Xi Lian, you shouldn't be so accommodating to her!]

[Firefly: How enviable! I want to too...]

[Fireworks: Damn it! (Nissou Paradise Masaya)! The pioneers aren't saving the world, they're just strolling through the starry sky with a woman! They deserve to die! Ahhh, I want to see rivers of blood!]

[Himeko: I understand Hoshi's confusion. It seems our little one needs a little encouragement.]

[Walter: Star, don't be nervous. Pioneering demands the most from the heart. No one rewards us for it; we receive nothing but precious memories and human comedies. And the fuel that ignites our passion and drives us forward without hesitation must be the most brilliant aspects of humanity. So, just follow your heart. The fact that you've reached your position in the light curtain speaks volumes. What you lack is simply the ability to describe the flame that sustains you.]

[Xing: Uncle Yang... I think I understand now.]

[Black Tower: Keep going! Prove it to the Last King, and even more so to your past self. You are different from the Last King who failed countless times and then strayed back. You will forge a correct path, and everyone will follow you toward tomorrow!]

As a senior, he taught and guided Ongfaros through his words and deeds...

Xing's expression froze. Xi Lian's words, by sheer chance, dispelled the gloom in her heart.

Yes, there is no Star God for Pioneer; she can only be her own Star God.

Previously, Walter, Danheng, and others were always in charge of pioneering, but this time, only she can take up the mantle. Only she has the opportunity to carve out a place for herself in boundless loneliness!

If not me, then who?

The starlight and confusion dissipated, and I stepped forward, walking away from the past.

A flash of white light, and they stepped into the dim, yellowish world. Qiong's figure arrived as promised.

But this time, she didn't panic.

The nameless man uttered indistinctly, "Why do I [explore]? Because what I see has no end."

Stars bring blessings to the soul.

This was his confession, and also a path proven to be a dead end. But coincidentally, she already had a completely different answer.

She pressed her hand to her chest, looking directly into the other person's eyes: "But I'm different..."

"I choose 'pioneering,' because I have already embarked on this journey!"

The next second, a flash of white light appeared, and all that remained in Xing's eyes was Xi Lian's stunningly beautiful face.

[March 7th: The Last King... disappeared? So, the Star passed the Last King's test!]

[Blue Sparrow: Great, I've survived another day!!!]

[Tail: Wow, that's awesome, sis!]

The entire universe erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and people wept with joy everywhere. Messages of greeting and best wishes to the stars poured in like snowflakes.

This is no ordinary pass, just as Black Tower said.

This means that this universe has successfully bypassed all previous paths of failure. They are on a path that is highly likely to lead to success. The Iron Tomb is not invincible!

[Black Tower: Well done, kid.]

[Sunday: Does the universe still possess "possibility"?]

[Su Chang: It's a bit unfair, but... God help us! We must fail a few more times before this final battle, clearing away all the mines and leaving us a smooth road ahead!]

[Star: Why do I still feel like I'm the one who's hurt?]

[Silver Wolf: Just accept it. Who told me to be such a crazy save-and-load enthusiast, always trying to get the perfect ending? I guess I deserve this kind of suffering.]

[Potio: Holy crap, "I've embarked on this journey!" Hooray!]

[Fireworks: Commonly known as, since we're already here?]

[Himeko: There are subtle differences. The reason Sora feels "because what he sees has no end" is evident in his loneliness and sense of being forced into this situation. He is searching for an ending, but he doesn't know what kind of ending he wants; in his vision, the distant horizon never shows any concrete form of success. Hoshi's answer, however, is full of unwavering resolve: "I have walked this path, and I still wish to walk this path, and I find joy in it."]

Walter: There is only one kind of heroism in the world: to see life as it is and still love it. The galaxy is never beautiful, so successful exploration naturally means shaping it into something beautiful with your own hands.

[Star: That's right! The Ancient Ones, and the Iron Tomb. What follows is the true battle to the death, and we will prove to you that the galaxy is never short of hope!]

[Laigushi: Hmph, I shall wait and see.]

—[The Cosmic Red and Black List, SSS-level Black List character—Zandar I. Kuwabara (Laigus slice segment) officially concludes.]

—[Reward: Absolute stealth. The user and their creations will receive the protection of the universe, and can freely control whether they are discovered according to their own will. Even the Star Gods cannot see through their disguise.]

— [Next up is a GG clip: "Impromptu Tour: 'Watch it all in one go! The truth the authorities didn't tell us after the Battle of Iron Tomb!'", I'll be right back after this.]

[Star: Me... GG at a time like this? Who's the sponsor? They're got such powerful connections?]
