Chapter 1516

Re: From Zero to Another World Life.

"Hmm? Is the scepter system reacting with some... changes?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but as Xilian uploads more and more "memories," the scepter system's response time seems to have slowed, and the number of "error processes" has also started to increase.

Subaru Natsuki nodded: "There is a change, but this change is very subtle, like a... baby."

A newborn baby, from being clueless to having a slight reaction to the outside world, although it cannot directly converse with Xilian, can use the system to perform some simple response commands.

This is... a "Memory Envoy"? No matter how you look at it, it's very wrong, right?

How could Fu Li bestow power upon a... uh, Betty? For a moment, Betty didn't know how to describe this envoy—was it a system program? Or an existence with a personality?

"No, that memory envoy should have appeared in Wengfaluo Si long ago; it's impossible to be the person conversing with Xilian."

Subaru Natsuki quickly realized there was a problem here. Theoretically, envoys should be like Black Tower and Jing Yuan, having progressed along their respective paths, possessing the blessings of star gods, and wielding powers beyond ordinary pathfinders—how could they be a program inside the scepter? This completely contradicts the Think Tank's definition of "envoy."

A program gradually gaining human emotions, or rather, an AI? Would such a thing existing in the scepter really not be discovered by Zandal?

">>> Format Progress: Completed."

"......"

"Dan Heng sighed deeply: 'Her transformation... is moving. Three thousand million worlds reincarnated, Xilian has never been absent. On the reverse side of the world, she recorded the Fire Pursuit Journey in her own way, leaving 'memories' here.'"

"'Star, I increasingly feel that the 'audience' accompanying her is some kind of tangible existence. The deepest traces of Wengfaluo Si, the great tomb burying the past of 'all worlds'... who exactly is its owner?'"

"'Star quickly downloaded the runes of the three Titans—'Rationality,' 'Negative World,' and 'Romantic'—and after encapsulating them into keys, they returned to the system at the center of the great tomb, preparing to venture to the deepest part of the world.'"

"'The key activated, and Xilian's figure reappeared before the two of them.'"

"'Someone once told the original 'me' that everything is false. Wengfaluo Si's only life is a great calamity nurtured by the world as a factor.' Xilian lowered her gaze slightly, 'But how could there be such a true dream in the world? So, I disagree with his view.'"

"'Good friend, for the 33,550,335th time... I will read this book to you. This way, it will no longer be just Xilian's personal memory.'"

">>> Format Progress: 23.815%..."

">>> Error Process: Analyzing..."

"Xilian smiled lightly: 'Even it no longer makes people feel cold. Like a ceremonial conclusion, putting a period on each generation's 'narration.' Then, another 'I' will come, carrying new 'memories' back here.'"

"'Unbeknownst to us, this palace we built together is no longer Xilian's solitary drunken dream. It is the epic co-written by you, me, and all Fire Pursuers, our weak yet unceasing prayer for 'tomorrow.'"

"'One day, someone will open this nearly 'eternal' page... awaken all the dust-sealed 'memories,' let them be rediscovered by the world in a more beautiful form.'"

">>> Error Process: Analyzing█████"

"Suddenly, the scepter system seemed to lag, and countless Xilians were seen lying in this great tomb, stacking this platform to the brim."

"'Just like flowers blooming and falling, I narrate, you listen.'"

"'I welcome my own conclusion, becoming nourishment for the next flower to bloom.' Xilian lifted her gaze toward the profound darkness ahead, 'And you will stay here, guarding this 'memory' nursery.'"

From the Abyss.

"'You will stay here...'"

Nanaqi repeated softly, her two large ears twitching slightly, as if she had faintly caught something.

"'What's wrong?' Riko curiously leaned over.

"'Hmm... nothing, we just wondered if this great tomb might be related to the 'De Miu Ge' mentioned by Na Ke Xia earlier.' Nanaqi shook her head, 'That 'De Miu Ge' didn't cause Laigushi to show a hint of fear, did it? We're also curious what this thing actually is.'

"'That Laigushi can manipulate the 'boundaries of thought,' making himself completely not think of De Miu Ge; he must be desperately hiding De Miu Ge's traces. Nanaqi wonders if Xilian's confidant is De Miu Ge?'

"'Yeah, after all, Xilian's confidant... we also find it hard to say whether it's a person, or a program in the scepter, or something else.' Nanaqi spoke while her gaze shifted back to the magnificent storage array in the sky curtain, 'But what needs to be clarified is, is Laigushi's 'fear' fear of De Miu Ge itself, or fear of De Miu Ge 'being discovered by others'?"

"'Is there a difference?'

"'Of course there is. If the fear is of De Miu Ge itself, then De Miu Ge is likely related to that mysterious memory envoy—perhaps his secret weapon, or a key clue.'

Nanaqi paused, then continued, 'But if it's fear of De Miu Ge 'being discovered by others,' then De Miu Ge might be a 'key,' or rather a 'switch,' and Laigushi fears others discovering it, because once someone touches this switch, it would trigger a long chain of reactions even he cannot control.'

"'But the problem is, this switch has been opened by Xilian since the first eternal return.' Reg said.

"'Exactly! I'm afraid even Laigushi doesn't know these years Xilian has been secretly transmitting data; otherwise, that guy would definitely have started to destroy it.'

—

"'This way, when the 'Savior' descends, the first thing to come into view will be an endless flower sea. And our story will lie quietly among the flowers, just like every ripple of 'memory'... that chapter titled 'As I Wrote It'.'"

"'The substance of 'memory' is preserved in countless support pillars...' Dan Heng gazed ahead at the dense storage array like a forest, 'Across three thousand million worlds, to preserve all forgotten reincarnations, she gave everything.'"

"'Carry all the past, and walk toward the new world together.'"

"Star approached 'As I Wrote It,' intending to take it back, when Xilian's phantom beside her suddenly spoke softly: 'Alright, don't let the atmosphere be so heavy.'"

"'When the first ripple set off, it also once cheered on companions like this. This is a word full of blessings, so I also want to send it to you...'"

"The girl tilted her head, her smile like spring flower petals gently falling onto the water surface."

"'Smile a little, okay?'"
