Chapter 1314: Ong Falos 3.4 (349)

Dan Heng suddenly realized, "So it's you."

"I didn't expect the train crew to recruit a genius as external support…"

The familiar's appearance finally lets Xing exhale fully, feeling the pressure on the shoulders suddenly lighten… even the breathing becomes unusually smooth.

Luosi Gumu nodded, "Exactly. Ms. Hei Ta invited me to meet with you unnamed guests. Rest assured, Ms. Xing."

The guard beside them sized up Luosi Gumu, scratching his head in confusion, "Do you two know this… Antikythera person? Are they a compatriot of the Laigushi councilor?"

"Rest assured, guard. The gentleman before you is a 'Pioneer' ally sent to assist. Would you mind letting us talk privately?"

"Of course, we'll wait nearby; please stay safe."

After the guard walked away, Luosi Gumu continued, "I fully understand your situation; for now, all I can do is temporarily freeze that black‑clad person's actions. Time is limited. So, I'll summarize my purpose in the most concise terms—"

"The place you both are in, Ong Falos, is a world built from data and memory essence, a testing ground for a Star God. Now, this isolated sandbox world is rapidly descending into the third destiny—'Destruction'."

Dan Heng furrowed his brow, realizing things aren't simple: "'Destruction'…"

"Conclusion: If Ong Falos's progression is allowed to advance unchecked… an Extinction Overlord will complete evolution and metamorphosis, being born from the raging tides. The galaxy we both know will suffer an irreversible blow."

"Extinction Overlord… similar to Illusory Mist?" Xing asked.

"The calamity this Overlord intends to unleash may be far worse than the 'Luo Fu' Star Core Crisis. Because its target… is the Intellect Star God."

The Adventures of Cheng Long.

"Finally! Their inside and outside information finally matches!"

When Luosi Gumu appeared, Xiao Yu felt a huge weight lift. The genius's presence gave an overwhelming sense of security—so wonderful!

"But, Uncle Cheng…" Xiao Yu suppressed her smile, then adopted a serious expression, "How should Xing and Dan Heng regard Bai E and the others? After all, Bai E and the others are data beings, not true humans…"

Regarding this, Cheng Long was quite calm; he pushed the cup of hot tea before him to Xiao Yu, smiling, "What's the problem? Although Bai E and these golden descendants aren't true humans, the emotions we've gathered along the way are real; the bonds and feelings among them are genuine, and it doesn't matter whether they are truly alive."

"Beyond that, I'm more curious about Laigushi's purpose. That guy is also a 'Command‑level' strongman; he must know Iron Tomb's impact on the Intellect destiny, yet why does he persist in fostering the birth of the Extinction Overlord? Does he intend to kill the Star God of his own destiny?"

This notion shocked Cheng Long as much as the previously appearing Extinction Overlords' sudden betrayal, preparing to turn and kill Nanuq. Can such a heretical act be acknowledged by the Star God?

"Cheng Long, have you ever considered that the Star God might not care about the actions of destiny walkers at all?" Father, carrying a thermos, walked into the living room, "To kill the Intellect Star God, thereby advancing further along the Intellect destiny, exhausting countless methods, is also a way of practicing one's destiny."

"That may be so… but why is it so obsessed with killing the Lord of Knowledge?" Cheng Long still didn't grasp Laigushi's true intent; just the thought of killing the Star God might offend the entire Intellect destiny's forces.

That first seat of the Genius Club, the guy who created the Lord of Knowledge, if he learned that future generations wanted to kill the Star God he created, would probably be so angry he'd come back to life, right?

Dan Heng and Xing stared at each other.

"Skipping the intricate deductions, I present a request to you both: to prevent the fury of 'Destruction' from sweeping the universe, I earnestly ask that an unnamed guest stay in Ong Falos as an inside operative. This world is shrouded by an indescribable firewall, and time flows differently from reality; Ms. Hei Ta and I can only tear a slit to project images inside."

"But—setting aside the carriage's crash accident—both of you managed to land here; there must be an as‑yet‑ununderstood principle behind it." Luosi Gumu continued, "Unveiling it will take time. Until then, if an unnamed guest is willing to stay, witness the world's fate, or, when necessary, push its progression— that would be a tremendous help."

"Dan Heng, what do you think?"

Dan Heng nodded, "Mr. Luosi, I trust you, so I just want to confirm one thing: Ong Falos is already facing its end; how can those who stay ensure safety?"

"Please look here—"

Luosi Gumu handed a strange artifact to the two.

"This is a strange artifact called the Sculpted Anchor; you can treat it as a domain anchor in the Intellect world. As long as you carry it, an individual's data structure is protected, unaffected by violent digital tsunamis. When needed, it can also serve as a bridge for internal and external communication."

"Of course—it's not an infinitely reusable artifact—it can only be held by one person; the link—affected—determines—quickly—"

"The final two pieces of information:"

"First: the Intelligent Machine named Laigushi may be the root cause of everything."

"Second: Ms. Hei Ta discovered a clue—San Yue Xiaojie has already been drawn into Ong Falos."

Marvel Universe.

"Indeed… we should have just slashed that Laigushi guy with a single stroke!" Thor gritted his teeth, word for word, "And aim for its head!"

"Cutting it won't do much," Tony said with a smirk, "That guy is an Intelligent Machine; its core likely hides in some tiny corner of reality inside the staff, never appearing inside Ong Falos. In other words, even if you kill Laigushi in front of Bai E, it can reappear perfectly intact the next second—it's probably just a projection in the data world."

"So, is there a way to stop Iron Tomb's birth? For example, fire Ms. Hei Ta's pulse cannon at the staff?" Thor said, his tone a bit frantic.

"That imaginary pulse weapon, when faced with a few Command‑level's accidental misfires, is probably just like a large firework."

Tony shrugged; he tried to keep his tone light, but his solemn expression betrayed him. Facing an Extinction Overlord that could soon sweep the galaxy, no one could speak casually any longer.
