Chapter 1514

Spy x Family.

What made Lloyd find it unbelievable was not the meticulous, watertight execution of the entire plan, but that Xilian had actually conceived this perfect, flawless plan right then and there within the Genesis Vortex Heart, successfully leveraging the patronage of the Star Gods to achieve her own goals.

Although she may not have understood Floating Sorrow as other Pathfinders did at that time, she still intelligently deduced the mechanism and principle behind it, and provided an answer that could be called perfect.

"Xilian... truly brilliant."

Lloyd sighed helplessly, only able to lament that in this "game" of Wengfaluo Si, anyone qualified to participate was no ordinary person. Even Xilian, who appeared to possess the weakest strength, was just as crucial as Bai E in this context. She truly was silently making thirty million efforts in the unseen corners that no one noticed.

Initially thinking it was merely about fighting Titans on a backward border planet, I never expected it to evolve into this... Black Swan's "suggestion" truly helped the universe unearth a heavyweight bomb.

Although it did not answer who accompanied Xilian on her journey, at least it clarified when Xilian arrived at this Great Tomb—also explaining why Bai E did not follow Xilian, as all this occurred at the endpoint of the Fire Pursuit Journey.

"Mr. Lloyd, looking at it this way, the 'Memory' Path seems quite good; it probably won't become the last of the 'Four Ends' Paths that Kafka mentioned, right?" Yor felt some concern.

"So far... it won't." Lloyd tilted his head to gaze at the Sky Curtain, "'Memory' is like a protective mechanism; as long as we wait for the Galaxy's End, this mechanism will trigger, but there are also risks involved."

"Risks?"

"Yes, the divine war among the Star Gods. If Floating Sorrow meditates in the Unsullied Pure Land, then the divine war among the Star Gods might be the only way to dispel this protective mechanism; if Floating Sorrow were killed..." As he spoke, Lloyd's expression grew increasingly grave, "... I now suspect that the prior shattering of Floating Sorrow's divine body may also have been partly due to this—could it be that a Star God within the Cosmos attacked Floating Sorrow and inflicted harm upon Her?"

"Xilian's voice suddenly echoed again from ahead."

""I know, His gaze has never left. As long as I record every page of the story and narrate it to you... Wengfaluo Si, it will not be abandoned.""

""Although you never speak. But I know, you are listening. Every story I tell... will be like a tiny key, unlocking a door in your heart, right?""

"Dan Heng: 'Xilian and the Star Gods' gazes met, which she regarded as the hope of continuing the world. Therefore, again and again, she spared no effort in becoming white paper, just to offer 'Memory' to Him. As for why she took human form, through the 'telling of stories'...'"

""Perhaps for her, this is the only way to defend her humanity and leave a trace. Even if, it is merely her one-sided wishful fantasy...""

"Star corrected Dan Heng's words: 'This is not wishful thinking; we will witness these memories.'"

""Hmm..." Dan Heng redirected his gaze toward the runes on the ground, where the runes of the three Pillar Titans—Sky, Earth, and Ocean—had appeared."

""From the ground runes, we can see that the previous key was used here. There are three in total, and our progress is one-third.""

"Star activated the key, and immediately the earth beneath our feet began to tremble; far off, those arrays resembling storage devices began to slowly rise, revealing a path leading into the distance."

""The path has appeared; let us move forward.""

"Star and Dan Heng arrived at the side of the Sky Rune, where Xilian's phantom stood silently."

""Thus, the heavens descended a rainbow, revealing a gentle smile to the world.""

"">>>>> Format Progress: 93.998%......""

""It seems the time for parting has come again. Unconsciously, this book has recorded too many joys and sorrows, each page feeling heavy with weight." Xilian gently turned the pages in her hands, "When I took hold of it, 'I' also began to feel uneasy... those initial ripples, where exactly did they hope these 'Memories' would be sent?""

"">>>>> Format Progress: 94.423%......""

""How many times has this been? It faithfully fulfills its duty, triggering and formatting... just like the fate of every Fire Pursuit, unchanging. If in the end, every time I lift my pen, I can only write the same conclusion. Then this weighty epic...""

""Could it be merely an overly naive dream?""

fate/zero.

"Although Xilian made many efforts, I also do not believe she could save Wengfaluo Si."

Regarding Xilian's longed-for "salvation," Wei Bo only felt it was an unsolvable problem, like someone trying to compute pi to the last digit... forever impossible to achieve.

No matter how beautiful the imagination, it remains but a fleeting dream, unable to change the fact that Wengfaluo Si's essence is merely "electrical signals."

However, in comparison, Rider developed a keen interest in "saving Wengfaluo Si."

"Well, looking at it this way, the dilemma of the Wengfaluo Si people is also similar to mine." Rider stroked his beard-covered chin, "The first step toward salvation is how to obtain a flesh-and-blood body, and that woman called Ruan Mei should be able to accomplish that... or seek 'Abundance'..."

"Hey hey! Your direction is completely off! Seeking 'Abundance' is nonsense; as data within the Scepter System, the Wengfaluo Si people cannot possibly come alive!"

Hearing Wei Bo so bluntly deny himself, Rider looked somewhat angry, his brows deeply furrowed.

"Ah, really, why do you always like to say 'impossible,' 'can't do'? If it's impossible, shouldn't one think of ways to turn the 'impossible' into the 'possible'?"

After speaking, Rider raised his hand and pointed to the sky, where just now an aircraft had flown overhead, accompanied by the sound of "Boom—boom—boom."

"Just like those aircraft, these heavy objects made of steel can actually fly so high; if it were in Macedonia, I, the king, would never believe it no matter what, but this has become reality, hasn't it?"

"But manufacturing aircraft and creating flesh-and-blood bodies for an entire planet's population are two different matters! The former is a science and technology issue, the latter... this already involves the domain of the Star Gods, right?!"

"Then... what about wishing upon the Holy Grail?" Rider continued guessing with great interest, "I don't know where Sangbo got that Holy Grail from; if we could get another one, then hold a Holy Grail War in Wengfaluo Si, let the victor wish, and grant everyone a flesh-and-blood body—wouldn't that be mission accomplished?"
