Chapter 1512

Could that person be the "Memory" Envoy who has been hiding all this time?

Probably only he possesses such an unimaginable power, and only he could complete this layout spanning three thousand million worlds. Thinking of this, Kirito looked back at Xiao Xilian's behavior in the great tomb, perhaps Xilian telling stories to that "invisible person" was also within that Envoy's plan.

"Star shoved 'As I Wrote It' into the terminal's groove."

"">>> Branch #1, archived.""

"">>> Encrypting key——""

"The ground beneath our feet began to tremble, and the stone door behind the terminal slowly opened, 'As I Wrote It' was ejected once again."

"So that's it, this 'As I Wrote It'……is it an information terminal modified by 'Memory'? Xilian seems to be telling stories, but in reality is conducting 'information transmission'."

"Turns out it's just a hard drive."

"Dan Heng nodded: 'This understanding is more intuitive.'"

"Who is the receiver?"

"Most likely the entity deep within this great tomb. Details… remain unclear for now." Dan Heng walked behind the terminal, carefully examining these 'machines' that don't belong here, "No wonder these facilities react. This book—this book itself is a 'key'."

"But Xilian couldn't possibly know the truth of the scepter inside out. Where did she get it from……"

"Aolixie?" Star guessed.

"Although very similar, the Divine Revelation tablet in Xilian's memory……upon closer thought, the appearance is not the same."

"Beyond the world?" Star continued guessing.

""

After a moment's thought, Dan Heng said, "Do you remember? In his short life, Xilian once encountered a certain Star God."

That was when Xilian and Bai E were at the end of the Fire Pursuit Journey, when she once mentioned……that which appeared in the dream, the deity behind Ou Luo Ni Si.

"Ou Luo Ni Si is related to Fu Li—this is no secret. When you met Mimi, He also appeared. The role this Star God plays in Wengfaluo Si is unknown. But if Xilian inadvertently stepped onto the 'Memory' fate path, her 'sacrifice' would not only be to reset reincarnation, but also carry other meanings……"

The system prompt interrupted Dan Heng's speculation at this moment: "">>> Key encryption completed.""

"... Let's keep moving forward. If I guessed correctly, that scene just now——will keep repeating."

Frieren's Funeral.

"I get it! Fu Li gave 'As I Wrote It' to Xilian!" Restalk slapped his thigh, suddenly enlightened.

"Oh? Then tell me, why in the universe are there so many Memory Walkers, yet specifically give 'As I Wrote It' to Xilian?" Zan Yin shifted his gaze to the boy's excited face.

Restalk said matter-of-factly: "Simple, because Xilian is a fragment of Fu Li's divine body, she is part of a Star God, naturally deserving special attention."

"Then why not give 'As I Wrote It' to San Yue Qi? Isn't she also a fragment of Fu Li?"

"Because……"

Restalk opened his mouth wide, suddenly speechless.

"Even if he is a fragment of the Star God's divine body, do you know how many similar fragments exist in the universe? On what basis does He specially notice Xilian?" Zan Yin casually waved his hand, interrupting the boy's delusion, "Alright, alright, stop overthinking. Xilian is just a girl growing up in Aolixie, not a Memory Envoy, without such profound background."

"Moreover, even as part of the Star God's divine body, there exists a vast power difference between them—she and Night Moon are like that, aren't they?"

This point convinced Restalk, his expression visibly drooping.

"But if it wasn't Fu Li who gave it, then who would it be? That Envoy who never shows himself?"

"Hmm." Frieren slowly closed her magic book, "This point is not bad, even if Xilian is not a Memory Envoy, she must still have countless threads of connection with the Envoy. Perhaps, precisely because she is a fragment of the Star God's divine body, that Envoy pays special attention to her and handed 'As I Wrote It' to her."

Zan Yin also agreed: "Then Wengfaluo Si amounts to simultaneously existing bright and dark lines. On the surface, Bai E struggles against the three thousand million worlds reincarnation; in the dark, Xilian secretly transmitted all the data of the three thousand million worlds to this great tomb……and after transmission completes, the next eternal return."

"The receiver of the three thousand million worlds' memories……will it be that Envoy? What does he want these memories for?"

"Dan Heng and the others continued forward, red Memory Spirits floating everywhere in the passage below."

"\"Be careful, everywhere are Night Moon's eyes. Don't stray too far from me, 'Identification Anchor' will protect us. \""

"The two passed through the gate before them, but the next scene made their pupils contract sharply."

"Massive stone pillars rose from the ground, one after another, piercing deep into the dark overhead. Here it seems like a forest piled from stone pillars, each pillar covered with fine grooves of tiny patterns, as if they could turn at any moment."

"This scene resembles the solemn grandeur found only in temples, forcibly juxtaposing the cold hardness and eeriness of mechanical constructs……making one's scalp tingle."

"\"This……hard to imagine, is this still Wengfaluo Si?" Dan Heng scanned the surroundings, his gaze sweeping over those pillars, "Such a vast storage array could almost rival the 'Electronic Holy Prison' Yin Nabis……""

"Xilian's phantom suddenly appeared before them: \"Look, how magnificent. In this classical world, there is also such a palace filled with 'future' colors. Will Aolixie become like this in a few thousand years? \""

"\">>> Executing agreement λ003-097: Formatting target. \""

"\">>> Formatting progress: 0.027%……\""

"Xilian softly sighed: \"Ah, it's always so punctual, never late……\""

"\"No matter, I understand, it just wants to remind me: time is precious. This time, I want to share a small story with you: on the way here, I saw a tiny nymph. It perched on a fallen ear of wheat, glimmering in the sunlight. \""

"\"Unbelievable, in that moment I forgot all pain, just…gazing at it in a daze. I wondered, will every past 'Xilian' also find it beautiful? Would they also record this scene, write it into the eternal poem? \""

"\"So, give me a little more time, okay? I still want to leave more 'memories' for the 'future'……\"\"
