Chapter 1518

"You're a bit too tense, Dan Heng. For you all, I've always been frank." Night Moon smiled lightly, turning around, "So before we discuss the fate of Wengfaluo Si, why don't we set aside our grievances... and mourn the cruel 'truth' together?"

"'Truth'...?"

"It seems you haven't realized it yet." Night Moon scanned her surroundings, "Take a closer look, scan your surroundings. You'll surely wonder: where is the last Titan? That's a good question. Because I'm curious too..."

"Aside from the cold void, this place is clearly empty."

—

Honkai 3.

"Thirteenth Titan..."

The moment Night Moon finished speaking, the Herrscher in the blissful land all turned their gaze in unison toward Ailixiya.

Ai Li blinked, and under the collective gaze of everyone, she did not feel flustered; instead, her eyes curved into two blue crescents.

"Why is everyone looking at me like this?" Ai Li said, her tone carrying a hint of innocence, "Well, I admit I look very good, but there's no need to stare at me so passionately? Or... have you finally realized I'm especially beautiful today?"

"Hmm." A Po Ni Ya's voice was soft, "Thirteenth Titan, Thirteenth Herrscher. It's very likely that Titan has always been by Xing's side, namely..."

"No, it shouldn't be that coincidental, and... it doesn't make sense." Eden shook her head, rejecting A Po Ni Ya's speculation, "Xilian is Xilian, De Miu Ge is De Miu Ge; they are completely different. It was Xilian who transmitted the story of thirty million ages into the De Miu Ge Matrix, allowing De Miu Ge to gradually begin resonating, wasn't it?"

"That's correct." Hua raised her head, gazing at the rarely gathered Train Society in the Sky Curtain, "But the problem is, this Titan's Great Tomb is empty, utterly devoid of that so-called 'Thirteenth Titan'."

—

"Not long ago."

"You mean Xilian was deceived." Black Swan furrowed her brow slightly.

"Exactly. Fu Li planted false hope in her heart, making her believe she was special, and that Wengfaluo Si still had a glimmer of life." Night Moon nodded slightly, "Thus, that poor girl willingly, again and again, entered the Great Tomb, offering herself to 'Memory'."

"Why would He do this?"

"You think He would save this tottering world as Xilian prayed? Don't be naive, Memory Thief, in this divine chess game... 'Memory' chose 'Destruction'."

Black Swan's expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal: "Given your hostility toward the Memory Court, I find it hard to believe your one-sided account."

"Don't the actions of the Memory Thieves already prove enough? They desperately pushed for the completion of the 'Iron Tomb', certainly not for some illusory Memory. Let me tell you the true reason... the Iron Tomb is a perfect vessel; if one could secretly plant a seed within it, when 'Wisdom' is detonated by it, 'Memory' would also spread to every corner of the Huazuo."

Night Moon smiled meaningfully: "A Path without an owner, divided between two Star Gods. Fu Li—will use this to annex 'Wisdom'."

"..."

Black Swan's face finally grew solemn again.

"Understood? The War of the List Gods began long ago. Fu Li's glance is not to save Wengfaluo Si, but to drain it completely, turning it into a page of the most sorrowful tragic poem."

—

Azure Archive.

"Great! Fu Li, you actually harbored ill intentions! I still trusted you so much!" Ai Lu slammed her fist on the table with a 'thud', making the cup lid on the table jump into the air.

"You're clearly the 'Fourth End' who destroys the universe! Really infuriating!"

"It seems everything that happened in Wengfaluo Si is also within the Star Gods' layout; this place has already become their arena." Jia Yue Zi sighed deeply, she wasn't surprised the Star Gods were scheming behind the scenes, after all, Zandal, as an old senior, had long informed her of this.

"Who cares about these Star Gods killing each other, annexing and annexing, but deceiving Xilian... even I, this villain, can't stand it!"

Ai Lu tilted her head, her face flushed with anger.

Jia Yue Zi pondered for a moment, then said: "But 'Memory' chose 'Destruction'; if Night Moon is right, then the situation would be very favorable for Zandal. He originally wanted 'Wisdom' completely destroyed, he himself chose the way of 'Destruction', and now another Star God also wants to annex Wisdom—this is simply... double joy, adding an extra layer of insurance to his plan."

"But this is only Night Moon's one-sided account, her speculation, right? And how can the actions of 'Flowing Light Memory Court' represent the Star Gods?!" Ai Lu snorted displeased, but her voice clearly weakened by a few points, almost as if fear and worry were written on her face.

"Well, well, maybe Night Moon also has the possibility of alarmist talk? She's just a Pathfinder of Memory, impossible for her to guess this accurately... right?"

—

"Fortunately, that girl's sacrifice will not be in vain. For I will give her another possibility." Night Moon turned her gaze toward the symbol behind her, "I have promised the Star, to reweave the world's causality, creating a flawless Wengfaluo Si."

"And for such a world that cannot turn back, the sole definition of 'Flawless'... is the void left after being burned to ashes by fierce fire."

"You intend... to sacrifice Xilian's preserved 'Memory'?"

"Exactly, burn all stories, joys and sorrows, futile efforts... let the Memory Court's conspiracy come to nothing." Night Moon said, "With such a massive amount of material as firewood, it is sufficient to completely destroy the operational logic of the Scepter. The Iron Tomb will lose its breeding ground, and Wengfaluo Si... will also truly attain liberation."

Black Swan raised an objection: "Your 'liberation' is no different from 'Destruction'. Everything in this world will vanish completely from computation, nowhere to be found. And your own 'Memory' will certainly not be spared either."

"Exactly, bird."

Night Moon slowly turned around, countless red jellyfish appearing beside Black Swan, surrounding her.

"So I need your assistance. Walking this path together, I am even more convinced... you possess a beautiful Memory Body, one that suits me well."
