Chapter 1513

One Punch Man.

"Could it be that all the memories stored here were transmitted by Xilian?"

The Child Emperor looked at the storage array that resembled a forest, and once again felt the weight of thirty million worlds press heavily upon him.

"The recipients of these memories are very likely the person who was speaking with Xilian just now," the Atomic Samurai guessed. "Needing such a vast amount of 'memory' also fits our impression of a 'Memory' Envoy."

"Moreover, his relationship with Xilian seems quite good, being inside the Great Tomb... Is that Envoy sealed? Or is he perhaps a prisoner of Zandal?" the Metal Bat asked curiously.

"It should be said that both are the same answer, for he was sealed by Zandal, thus also a prisoner, and has lived all these years within the Great Tomb of the Unnamed Titan... secretly accumulating power?"

Although I'm not entirely clear on just how strong that Memory Envoy is, seeing that he requires such a massive quantity of memories, the Atomic Samurai unconsciously began to guess toward the direction of Dominikus summoned by Xingqiri—perhaps it's that kind of Envoy whose strength grows with the amount of memory he holds.

But, that Envoy actually enjoys listening to stories? Is it because being sealed in the Great Tomb for so long has been too boring?

The Child Emperor naturally said: "Once we break that Envoy's seal and release him from the Great Tomb, we should be able to have a decisive battle with Tumu and Zandal and the others. Since he possesses the ability to foresee the future, he must also have observed the outcome of that battle with Tumu."

">>> Format Progress Completed."

"The system prompt sounded again, and Xilian's figure also disappeared along with it."

"Indeed, the answer... is 'memory,'" Dan Heng said. "A Star God appeared in her dream, entwining Wengfaluo Si's threefold destiny, and combined with the Preservation faction's all-out invasion... there is reason to suspect that, before the Scepter completely fell into 'Destruction,' Fu Li's gaze once swept over this world."

"And Xilian bathed in that gaze."

"Star could not understand: 'He clearly knows, yet he tolerates 'Destruction'?'"

"Humans cannot gauge Star Gods by mortal common sense. From the moment of their birth, 'Memory' has always been the observer of the Huazuo."

"But does the Preservation faction know nothing about her?"

"That's quite normal. Factions are merely followers of the Star God, and Fu Li... has never been a deity of kin." Dan Heng shifted tone, "However, there is something I also fail to understand: according to the Black Swan's account, the Preservation faction is not united, with a faction coveting the 'Godfall's Memory,' acting without scruple. Yet I always feel that those Memory Thieves have no intention of blocking us. On the contrary, they have been trying to conceal something."

"Will bathing in that gaze make one an Envoy?"

"In most cases, this is merely a natural phenomenon. Some Pathfinders regard it as an honor, but Envoys... must possess the mighty power bestowed by the Star God." Dan Heng looked at Star with a thoughtful expression, "I know what you're thinking—that theoretical 'Memory' Envoy, whose whereabouts remain a mystery. But now, I am more inclined to believe that what the Preservation faction's mirror reflects... is some kind of 'Divine Trace' left behind by Fu Li."

—

Fate/zero.

"Must possess the mighty power granted by the Star God's blessing... Is the person who traveled with Xilian truly a 'Memory' Envoy?"

Upon hearing Dan Heng say this, Alice also couldn't help but begin to doubt her own hypothesis, after all, from Xilian's tone, that companion did not seem like an Envoy granted Star God's power, but rather a child who loves stories, just like Ilya.

Could something have been mistaken?

"Alice, if the companion is not an Envoy, then there is currently no one who could possibly be." Saber approached from behind the lady, holding two cups of red tea, "However, would a god who is not kin actively bestow power upon humans? Listening to it, Fu Li sounds just like the 'IX' of 'Emptiness,' and would not actively grant Envoy status."

"Yes, and this Envoy has always hidden in the Great Tomb of the Unnamed Titan—could it be that Zandal has been unaware of his movements all these years?"

Saber shook her head and said: "No, I rather think that Zandal sealed that Envoy in the Great Tomb and then ceased to concern himself with it. And Xilian has all these years been secretly trying to help that Envoy... whether to restore his power or break the seal, in short, within those thirty million worlds, she has also silently strived in a place unseen by anyone."

Although Xilian is not a knight, this persistent perseverance has also made countless knights feel ashamed.

Even if she merely tells stories to 'that person' as a mundane trifle, but wanting to make the ordinary extraordinary, the intervening perseverance is none other than the guarding of thirty million worlds.

"So Xilian's thirty million sacrifices..."

"We are thinking of the same thing." Dan Heng lowered his head in contemplation, "It is said that Fu Li meditated in the Unsullied Pure Land, sowing the seeds of 'Memory' across the universe. When the Galaxy ends, all realms shall be reborn in her nursery. If this closed world also lies within her sight, it is not hard to imagine that Fu Li needs a mechanism to preserve vast amounts of memory in the blind spots of 'Intellect.'"

"Previously, this mechanism was 'Ages' and its demigod. But after Wengfaluo Si entered a dead cycle..."

Star took over his words: "Did Xilian become the deputy?"

"..."

"After Dan Heng remained silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: '... It is that Ritual Sword.'"

"Initially, within the Genesis Vortex Heart, Xilian once said to Bai E: 'Now I can be certain: 'Ages' is precisely the page where that Star God records Wengfaluo Si. If it vanishes from the world, all it has recorded will be lost in the starry void, and that 'Star God' will surely turn his gaze toward this place...'"

"'This will be a gaze that transcends time and space, allowing each future me to become your power to reset Ages—infusing my soul into this Ritual Sword, creating an everlasting Fire Pursuit Journey.'"

"Dan Heng also finally understood why Xilian appeared here."

"'At the beginning of each cycle, the Ritual Sword 'kills' Xilian. At the end of each journey, it carries the calculated memories, which Xilian's 'soul' takes away, sinking into the Great Tomb. In this way, Wengfaluo Si's 'Memory' transcends the cycle, being continuously preserved. And the Scepter, due to logical loss, falls into one process regression after another.'"

"'As long as this process continues, Fu Li's blessing will not disappear.'"
