Chapter 1511

"Xilian lowered her head dejectedly: 'Looks like this is also the last time.'"

"'Something's off—she's not talking to us. This isn't the 'Mimi' you know...' Dan Heng reacted immediately: 'Could it be... the 'past Xilian'?'"

"Scepter δ-me13: '>>>>> Formatting Progress: 23.815%......'"

"'Since time is limited, let's get started quickly?' Xilian took out 'As I Have Written,' her voice gentle: 'As always, I will read this book to you. This way, it will no longer be just 'Xilian's' memory.'"

"Scepter δ-me13: '>>>>> Formatting Progress: 45.147%......'"

"'This time, where should I start reading from? Let me see...' Xilian kept flipping through the book: 'Got it. Let's start with the meeting of the 'Sage of the Dragging Stone' Maidemos... and 'Winged Crown Champion' Na Ke Xia.'"

"Scepter δ-me13: '>>>>> Formatting Progress Completed.'"

"Xilian's figure vanished."

"'......' Dan Heng furrowed his brow: 'Did you hear that? What she just said...'"

"'Sage Wandi, and... 'Na Ke Xia'?'"

"'Clearly, that is not the history we know. Perhaps it is one possibility among thirty million ages, but... Xilian should have died at the beginning of each cycle—why is she appearing here? Who is she speaking with? And, the book she mentioned...'"

"'Is it 'As I Have Written'?'"

"Dan Heng nodded slightly: 'Very likely. Just now, that door also reacted to it.'"

"——"

"Genshin Impact."

"'What a wild official history.'"

"In a private room at Wu You Ting, Shen Zi sipped fresh fried tofu while clicking her tongue in amazement: 'I've only seen such wildness in the works of the light novel authors under my command—but in Wengfaluo Si... it actually became real?'"

"'Thirty million ages have countless possibilities—only things authors haven't imagined, nothing that can't happen in reality.' Meng Yue Xishi looked up at the tiny Xilian in the sky curtain, though chatting with Shen Zi, her gaze kept searching for Xilian's conversation partner."

"'Strange... is Xilian talking to the air? Besides that diamond-shaped block, there's nothing here.'"

"Xishi had a faint premonition: the person Xilian was speaking with was very likely the core secret of Wengfaluo Si—in other words, that listener of the story was the 'nameless Titan' in the Great Tomb."

"'Suppose, there really exists a person there——'"

"Shen Zi pointed her chopsticks straight ahead at Xilian: 'That story listener is probably not some powerful figure either.'"

"'Oh? On what basis does the Eightfold Palace Priestess assert that?'"

"'Because Xiao Xilian's tone when speaking is exactly like telling bedtime stories to a child—don't you think so?' Shen Zi leisurely picked up another piece of fried tofu: 'Moreover, she said 'as always,' meaning this isn't the first time she's told stories to 'that person,' and accompanying the completion of the system formatting process, Xilian vanished.'"

"'Formatting process—could it refer to——'"

"'Exactly. According to Laigushi's earlier experiment report, formatting is Bai E using the power of 'ages' to回溯 to the origin of Huoyouzhe, with the program restarting calculation.'"

"Xishi widened her eyes in astonishment: 'So she told that person over thirty million stories? That's already enough to recount the entire history of Wengfaluo Si from top to bottom, down to the smallest detail, countless times!'"

"——"

"'Star' also took out 'As I Have Written,' just like Xilian."

"Scepter δ-me13: '>>>>> Visiting: Return#33550337——'"

"A beam of light surged from the diamond-shaped block, and the next second, the phantom of the Talandon totem began to slowly emerge in midair."

"'>>>>> Visit failed. Error code: у-13.'"

"Dan Heng lowered his gaze to the book in Star's hand: 'Indeed, it is it. 'As I Have Written'... is closely related to this Great Tomb.'"

"'But the visit failed...'"

"Dan Heng stared at the phantom in midair and speculated: 'There are twelve chapters in 'As I Have Written,' each corresponding to a demigod. Perhaps, 'Nameless Remembrance' is matching these runes one by one. Let's try making contact first.'"

"Star nodded, first gathering the 'Law' runes before her. With the system prompt 'HubRis504, downloaded,' the runes transformed into threads of blue light, flowing into the central block."

"'Indeed, the information flow entered the central crystal. It is recording the 'memory' from the book in this way.'"

"Beside her, Xilian's phantom sat on a nearby stone, gently swinging her little feet: 'Ke Lü De La, how she altered the 'Law,' mankind has never known... but I believe it is Wengfaluo Si's decisive move against fate.'"

"Afterward, Star repeated the process, successfully gathering the 'Path' and 'Ages' runes. As the information flow entered, the system prompt sounded again."

"'>>>>> PhiLia093......'"

"'>>>>> Already... down... loaded......'"

"'>>>>> SkoPeo365, downloaded. Branch #1, beginning archival.'"

"'>>>>> Target: Return#33550337. Process: 13.131%——'"

"Star took the elevator downward; in the distance stood a data terminal emitting a piercing blue light."

"'Hmm? There's a groove on the terminal, size... just right to fit this book?'"

"——"

"Sword Art Online."

"'What is the origin of this 'As I Have Written' in Xilian's hands?'"

"Asuna truly couldn't understand now—she even felt the entire Wengfaluo Si revolved around 'As I Have Written,' the book containing not only the appearance of the external world but also being a crucial key to the Great Tomb itself."

"When Mimi initially doodled with 'As I Have Written,' she thought it was just her personal notebook... only finding it exquisite, who would have guessed it was so important? Even the world's deepest secret is closely tied to it."

"'Xilian has too many doubts. Her 'As I Have Written' is extremely important, yet during the Aolixie period, she herself showed no special power...' Kirito lowered his head in thought: '... just like a Lv1 player holding SAO's most mechanism-heavy, also most core world-class item—surely too jarring.'"

"At first, it was merely the sheath of the Divine Revelation牌, so whether it was the fairies of the Lost Illusion Realm or Bai E, who lived with her day and night, none noticed the特殊性 of 'As I Have Written.'"

"No, perhaps even Xiao Xilian herself didn't realize how important 'As I Have Written' was."

"This book is like a key—although its previous user was Xilian, combined with the prophecy in Bai E's dream... it seems more like someone is using Xilian's hand to deliver 'As I Have Written' to Star."
