Chapter 1515

Wei Bo curled his lip, his face full of impatience: "You think the Holy Grail is something you can just pick up by the roadside? How could a treasure that grants wishes possibly appear out of nowhere! In an environment completely devoid of sorcerers, Pinokangni appearing once is already lucky enough—do you really think it could appear a second time?"

">>> Error Progress: Parsing..."

"The scepter system seems to have encountered some problem, as if it suddenly got stuck."

"..."

Xilian lifted her head in bewilderment, a mist of tears instantly welling up in her eyes. Although the "you" she spoke of remained silent, it seemed to give her great encouragement.

"Is that so? You… are you encouraging me?"

"Thank you… sorry for making you see this embarrassing side. Everyone is working hard, and if I were to cry alone…… this wouldn't be romantic at all, right?"

"Thank you for being willing to always be someone's audience. Then, shall we continue?"

">>> Format Progress Completed."

The Xilian before my eyes vanished.

"The endless cycle of reincarnation affected her. Even Xilian could not resist the unchanging despair of eternity. Like Kaesulana, she began to doubt whether all this was merely 'futile.' Dan Heng gazed at the spot where she had faded and said:"

"What was the past Xilian actually talking to?"

"At first I thought it was a star god. But Xilian's tone… it doesn't sound like she's praying to a deity at all." Dan Heng also felt something was very off: "Could it be her imagination? The 'hero' in her 'heart'? But then, it would be hard to explain the 'error in progress'..."

"No matter who that 'listener' is, to the scepter, Xilian's narration is ultimately just a stream of data. But perhaps, in her eyes… as long as she keeps throwing drift bottles toward the horizon, there will surely come a day when someone picks one up."

Star took out "As I Have Written" and, following prior experience, downloaded the runes for scheming, death, and conflict Titan. Aside from encountering trouble when downloading "conflict," the other two runes went smoothly.

While Star was encapsulating the key, Dan Heng couldn't help but worry: "I've been thinking—could this 'memory' along the way be a trap set by 'Night Moon'? She never showed up, which is highly suspicious. But after thinking it over, there seems to be no particularly sufficient reason..."

"We can only assume she's still waiting by the stump, or being restrained by someone."

—

Huiye Da Xiaojie wants me to confess.

"Because Black Swan made a move."

Although Shi Shang also knows Black Swan is under greater pressure than anyone right now, it could also be considered as having 'restrained' Night Moon…… right?

Should I say he used his own neck to tightly grip the opponent's hands?

"Are Night Moon and Black Swan still ahead? Star and Dan Heng have already come this deep—why haven't we met them yet?" Fujiwara Chika looked around this empty space. If not for Dan Heng being by her side giving her a sense of security, if Star had come here alone, she would truly have been worried for her.

"I fear the deepest secrets of Wengfaluo Si lie further ahead. Due to the memetic nature, they should be able to reach the deepest part quite easily." Baiyin Yuxing's eyes flickered with a hint of concern: "But just now, what was going on with the scepter system's 'error progress'? Could it be that the person accompanying Xilian was manipulating it?"

Shi Shang raised his hand to interrupt: "No, President, you didn't notice? In fact, there's no one beside Xilian at all—she's merely confiding in something that cannot speak. That 'thing' has never responded to her—no, that's not quite right either…… the only possible response might have been that 'error progress'."

"The object of Xilian's confiding, which can affect the scepter system, though I feel its power is also very weak..."

At first, seeing Xilian speak so vividly, Shi Shang even thought someone was truly sealed inside the Great Tomb, possibly even the 'Memory' Envoy. But now it seems her confidant is merely a part of the scepter—a segment of code. As for the Envoy, that's outright impossible.

That Envoy could help Wengfaluo Si resist the surveillance of the Yi Ting, fully transcend the layout of the Three Thousand Million Worlds Reincarnation, and even in dreams give Bai E and Xilian prophetic hints……

But the more I reflect on past understandings of the Envoy, the more uneasy Shi Shang feels……

This Envoy seems not to be merely 'knowing the future' so simply.

"Let's continue observing. Every ripple of 'memory' might reveal the purpose of 'Night Moon'."

The two continued deeper, and Xilian's voice once again echoed in midair.

"What lies behind this door? Glittering crystals, or a beautiful world I've never seen before?"

"If I tell you all the stories about 'tomorrow'…… would the next life bring the 'Savior' and the dawn of Wengfaluo Si?"

Upon seeing Xilian's figure appear as expected ahead, Dan Heng couldn't help but marvel at her perseverance: "Xilian, her persistence truly has no end……"

Xilian opened the book in her hand, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "Once again, the epic has come to its close. All is quiet and still, just like this very moment. Another new beginning, another familiar reunion."

"Looking back, there was a time when 'I' seemed especially sentimental…… always anxious, frantically searching for different 'memories,' hoping to bring change to an unchanging fate, to find the exit of this labyrinth."

"But now, I won't do that anymore."

">>> Format Progress: 73.998%..."

">>> Error Progress: Parsing..."

"..."

Xilian closed her eyes, as if cautiously hoping for something.

">>> Format Progress: 75.012..."

">>> Error Progress: Parsing..."

"Don't feel regret for 'me,' good friend. If there were no new 'blank,' how would the epic be continued?" Xilian lifted her head, smiling gently: "I'm so fortunate, during the long wait for the 'Savior,' to have you as an audience who never absented herself."

"Look, these 'memories' I brought—they once existed, they once shone…… and now, through your eyes, I see them still shining. That's enough, isn't it? This way, I can also rest easy in the past."

"As for when 'tomorrow' will arrive……"

Xilian placed her hands behind her back, playfully blinking: "Just leave it to the next 'Xilian' to keep watch."
