Chapter 1489: Wengfaluo Si 3.6 (508)

One Under Heaven.

"He's actually this sharp? Dan Heng."

Seeing Dan Heng's aggressively charged statement in the sky curtain, Zhang Chulan also felt amused inside. The key was when asking whether the "knowledge" genius would be brain-invaded, Laigushi's brain really was attacked.

"But Laigushi isn't wrong either—Night Moon is too creepy, able to force several geniuses to team up… this girl is also pretty badass." Wang Ye said lazily, "With this strength, she'll become the thickest thigh on the train in the future."

"Not necessarily—who says Walter and Ji Zi don't have some 'hidden power'? These people's hidden powers are each more badass than the last, and the key is their origins are all very mysterious."

In Old Wang's view, the only one on this train who counts as a "normal person" is Ji Zi—if we're talking about "hidden power," she probably doesn't have any.

But whether it's Walter, or Xing… even the train's mascot Pam, he feels these people are still hiding. Xing lost his memory, which is understandable, but that Pam—I don't know how long he's lived, and he's never left the train; no matter how you look, he's pretty suspicious.

"'Memory' in her hand was easily pinched out, leaving no trace. Her method was decisive, as if she had an irreconcilable grudge against this destiny path." Laigushi said, "Contradictions are often the key to truth—'San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue,' Your Excellency's past… is a piece of bottomless darkness."

"'And then? You expect me to team up with you because of this?' Dan Heng said coldly, 'I only need to know one thing: 'her' past is related to San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue.'"

"'Never mind. I'm just offering a direction of thought. The choice remains in your hands. The heavy past is like the endless long night, where what kind of sin lies dormant—you, who once held the title of the Dragon Venerable of Holding Light, should know better than I.'"

"Dan Heng spoke bluntly: 'I indeed understand 'facing the past' better than you, First Genius.'"

"'I have no intention to deny. Please continue forward, Dan Heng, Your Excellency.'"

The two continued forward and soon found two strangely shaped monsters on the next staircase.

"'…Huh?' Laigushi said with interest, 'I didn't expect there to still be fish that slipped through the net.'"

"'Explain.'"

"'The thieves of Memory Garden. For a long time, they've coveted this world but have always been blocked outside. Thanks to your 'efforts,' this group waited for their chance. But they unfortunately encountered 'San Yue Xiaojie,' who one by one extracted their consciousness, reducing them to empty shells.'"

"'And those who luckily escaped also fell into the Black Tide, becoming this twisted form.'"

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng also observed: 'But their appearance is completely different from Black Tide creations.'"

"'The reason is related to our destination.' Zandal said, 'First deal with the threat before you, then I'll reveal the answer.'"

Dan Heng glared at him displeased: 'You really don't intend to make a move.'"

"'Hehe, I have no stance to assist you. Besides, I'm still under the surveillance of the geniuses—I wouldn't want my actions now to be misunderstood as a provocation toward you.'"

The Funeral of Frieren.

"Before the Black Tide, after the Night Moon… these memory thieves really are pitiful."

Restalk couldn't help but feel some pity for these memory thieves—deceived by the Flowing Light Memory Garden, chased by Night Moon, barely escaped to Wengfaluo Si, only to be polluted by the Black Tide into this shameful, ugly form.

"We can't pity them—their fate is what they deserve." Frieren said coldly, "What I'm actually worried about is something else."

"What? Frieren-sama?"

Frieren gazed at the apocalyptic scene of Wengfaluo Si in the sky curtain, unable to help but frown: "Just now Laigushi mentioned that Night Moon seems to have an irreconcilable grudge against the Memory Pathway. So I'm wondering, could there be a possibility in the future… that Night Moon was promoted by Nan Nu Ke to become the Extinction Sovereign who destroys 'Memory'?"

"This… is impossible. Even if a future Extinction Sovereign targeting the Memory Pathway appears, it couldn't be Night Moon—it would have to be someone else." Zan Yin almost denied Frieren's guess without thinking, "Although Night Moon dislikes the Memory Pathway, she would never push San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue into danger for that… once she becomes the Extinction Sovereign, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue would be forced to become the enemy of the Train Society."

"Although the Extinction Sovereign also wants to deny the Huazuo Pathway, I feel it's completely different from Night Moon's feeling." Restalk scratched his head, firelight jumping in his eyes, "The Extinction Sovereign seems to believe other pathways are wrong, but Night Moon is more like pure hatred for the Memory Pathway, with some personal emotion mixed in."

To strike the memory thieves so harshly—if Night Moon had no personal grudge against the Memory Garden, he simply wouldn't believe it.

—

"Watching Dan Heng casually dispatch these monsters, Laigushi clapped and said: 'Divine marksmanship, truly splendid.'"

"'Let's continue the previous topic.'"

"'These memory thieves tried to infiltrate the Black Tide's breeding ground to steal the 'Iron Tomb's' memory.'"

Dan Heng said lightly: 'Sounds like they're just courting self-destruction.'"

"'On this point, we slightly disagree: precisely because they fear neither life nor death do they have a chance to touch truth. In this life, that burden-bearer who labored in vain turned himself into a seal, intending to suppress the Black Tide's spread. His golden blood seeped into the tide, spread across the earth, and etched the 'Destruction' wound upon the world. And this wound will point the way forward for you.'"

"'Knowledge, Destruction, Memory… when these three destinies converge again, Wengfaluo Si will face a magnificent finale.'"

The two continued up the stairs and soon reached the peak of Li Ming Yun Ya, the cliff closest to KefaLe.

"'On this cliff, I witnessed the endpoint of three million 'futile efforts.' You may find it hard to accept, but I've always believed this number makes me the one who understands Kaesulana best.'"

"'That day, also here, he severed my head, his blade reaching all the way to the 'Destruction' star god. He suffered a crushing defeat, yet also achieved a great feat…'"

Before Dan Heng, a drop of radiant golden blood shimmered with light.

"'…A drop of burning pure-world golden blood, flowing from the god's wound.'"

Dan Heng's eyes widened with a 'swish,' his face full of disbelief: 'Nan Nu Ke…? Did Bai E injure Him?'"
