Chapter 1468

At the same time, inside the Genesis Vortex Core.

(I finally made it here. Returning this fire seed, by becoming the Demigod of the Burdened World, I can end the tragedy loop of Weng Faluos… This 'Recreation of the World' will be the stage for the showdown with Iron Tomb.)

(But I always feel something off…)

Xing walked forward, then suddenly stopped.

She slowly closed her eyes, and suddenly the words Xilian and Changye Yue once said surfaced in her mind.

"Although in this lifetime, Weng Faluos has no Demigod of Ages, the Ages have always stood with humanity."

"Then, using this fire seed blessed by Memory, respond to their expectations and pioneer the future."

A hint of confusion was dredged up from Xing's memories.

(Strange, it seems no one has ever mentioned… the fire seed of Ages…)

Hesiyin seemed to sense something and suddenly lifted her head—

A small red jellyfish appeared behind Xing, hovering in the air, its bell opening and closing like a slowly beating heart.

(When was it returned?)

——

Assassin Wu Liuqi.

"Yeah, when was the fire seed of Ages returned?"

Wu Liuqi slapped his thigh, finally recalling this; if Xing hadn't brought it up, he wouldn't have noticed the oddity! Logically, Xilian should have become the Demigod of Ages, but she instead calls Changye Yue Oluonisi?

The relationship suddenly became complicated……

"Could it be that Changye Yue also gave the fire seed of Ages to Xilian?" Ji Daibu habitually pushed up his sunglasses, tapped his chin with his wing, "And Changye Yue is Oluonisi—no way that's possible."

Where did that big blue-eyed Titan go?

"Could it be that Changye Yue eliminated Oluonisi long ago, took her place, and then issued a divine edict to Xilian… or something like that?"

"Mm, our Titan was taken down by a little girl, who even retrieved the fire seed and returned it to the Genesis Vortex Core… Could the priests of the Fate Triad Hall really be completely unaware? Aqi, you think they're idiots?" Ji Daibu directly dismissed Wu Liuqi's unrealistic guess.

"I think it's more like Changye Yue directly altered people's perception, making them believe she is Oluonisi. But the question is, why would she do that?"

——

"When you use omnis as a means to oppose me, have you considered this possibility… Memory and Its children will also seize the opening and reach the battlefield?"

"You mean the Luminous Omni Court will also come to muddy these waters?" The Black Tower crossed her arms, unfazed, "I'd welcome it. If the omnis could disrupt your Destruction experiment, I'd definitely applaud them."

"But you know full well they can't do that. On the contrary, the memory-thieves will become your obstacle." Zandark said, "The omnis covet Weng Faluos's secrets, just as they covet the knowledge of every genius. In the Stellar Gods' standoff, Memory has never been an ally of Intellect."

"Screwgom: He will also never be an ally of Destruction. Now, behind Expansion, numerous galactic forces are turning their gaze toward Weng Faluos. Though they hold different creeds, in the face of a common enemy, the will to survive will unite people."

Zandark retorted: "How can you be confident these forces aren't acting on their own aims, seeking to seize the initiative in the War of the Stellar Gods? The war has already begun, Screwgom. The four paths will drive the galaxy toward its end, and Destruction is merely one of them.

Zandark raised his head, gazing at the blood‑red mechanical curtain beyond myth; his eyes seemed to pierce the vaulted dome woven of gears and machinery, looking toward the deepest secret of the universe.

Polarca saw this ripple, couldn't stop it, and thus founded the Ninth Agency; the Primordial Doctor also took action, but he chose the wrong allies, only able to band with beasts. As for the two inorganic emperors…

They could have ascended the throne of Destruction, but were limited by the Stellar Gods' calculations, becoming prisoners of Intellect. How interesting— the Second, though a flesh‑and‑blood body, self‑identifies as inorganic life; guess whose scheme this is?

——

Overlord.

What is this guy talking about? Polarca founded…… the Ninth Agency?

Aurea's expression froze instantly. She kept repeating Zandark's casual words in her mind, trying to grasp those two sentences packed with explosive information.

His tone was as ordinary as after‑dinner chatter, as if, in his view, the other geniuses' plans were merely a clumsy, mediocre stage performance.

The Ninth Agency is, in the underworld's parlance, the 'End of the Void'— and its founder is none other than Polarca Kakamu? Is she connected to the Void?

Demiuge slowly opened his eyes; the fleeting wariness and vigilance in his gaze were just blocked by a glint on his lenses.

How many more 'surprises' do these geniuses have that we don't know about? Could that Void Stellar God not be her creation?

Yaerbed frowned, instinctively looking at Demiuge. Since Zandark set this precedent, Yaerbed's gaze toward these geniuses has changed— their achievements either shock the universe or are on the way to doing so.

No, it shouldn't be; only Zandark masters the Stellar Gods' creative knowledge. But just as he chose Destruction to achieve his goal, Polarca likely intends to use the Void to achieve hers.

Demiuge took a deep breath, striving to suppress his inner turmoil; he must force himself to stay calm, then report his understanding of the current state of the universe to Lord Ainz.

But since it's called the End of the Void, I think Polarca has probably already found the answer she seeks within the Void.

"You mean using the Void to prevent the universe from heading toward its end?" Aurea's eyes widened instantly.

Hmm. The Primordial Doctor and Polarca both took action at the same time, but the former opted for the Reversion Experiment. Moreover, Zandark also mentioned that the Primordial Doctor has an ally… possibly able to link up with an Intellect emissary— likely another genius or an emissary of another path— all of them are offering their own answers to Zandark's end of the universe.
