Chapter 1544
Qin Shi Mingyue.
"It seems that General Yaoguang already saw through it, although the alliance was formed under the leadership of the train, people's hearts are different." Gai Nie's eyes flashed with a hint of worry.
Tianming scratched his head in confusion: "But uncle, why don't they want to put in the same effort to defeat Tumu? Each faction sent an Envoy to fight, isn't that good?"
"No, Tianming, even if each faction sends an Envoy, they may not give their all in the decisive battle. Although Tumu is a threat to the universe, if we look from another angle, Tumu could also become a card to weaken other factions' strength."
Gai Nie withdrew his gaze from the sky curtain: "I still take the 'Six Kingdoms He Zong' I gave you as an example. Back then, Han and Wei feared Qin and wished Chu and Zhao would send troops first; Qi and Yan were far away, thinking the war flames wouldn't reach them, so they stood by as onlookers. Each country has its own ledger in mind, calculating how much effort they contributed in the battle against Tumu, and how much their allies contributed."
"Sigh, making it so troublesome, I'd rather not form an alliance." Tianming plopped down on a stone by the roadside, resting his chin on both hands, his face full of impatience: "Everyone fights their own battles, I don't expect you, you don't expect me, saves us from day-to-day scheming."
"If the alliance falls apart, wouldn't this scene be exactly what Zandal would enjoy?" Gai Nie chuckled, "The alliance is naturally still necessary, even if these factions harbor different intentions, but at least they can contribute some strength to resist Tumu. Tianming, even if no Envoy takes action, at least those fleets won't be fake, right?"
"That's true. Those fleets of the company sound intimidating, but who knows if they can actually inflict any damage on Tumu when the time comes, even if just scratching the surface would do!"

"The 'Identification Anchor' has sent a signal… everyone, it's time to move out." Black Swan said.
"Have they succeeded?"
"To be safe, I'll repeat the plan once more: you need to enter Wengfaluo Si, meet up with the three separated siblings, and try to locate 'Tumu' from within the world." Black Tower's gaze swept over the few people before him, "Who are you bringing?"
Walter: "This battle concerns the universe and allows no mistakes. I suggest—except for Pam—everyone should go out."
Xingqiri and Black Swan had no objections to this.
Black Tower nodded: "At the same time, I and Screw will continue to attack the De Miu Ge matrix from outside, that is, the core layer of the scepter. We'll attack from both sides, and we will definitely send this iron lump to the scrap heap. Now—we just wait for those two to return."
Having said that, Ji Zi and Screw Gum happened to walk into the carriage, joining this discussion.
"Long time no wait. With the help of Screw Star, the formation of the Galactic Alliance to jointly resist 'Tumu' is progressing smoothly."
"The Galaxy has already turned its gaze toward Wengfaluo Si." Screw Gum said, "Just waiting… for a gunshot."
"Then, no delay—Fourth Mirror!"
Beside, the Mirror, who had been holding back for a long time, cried with joy: "Finally it's my turn to appear! Finally no need to sit on the cold bench! 'Thought Refraction' activated: please read the safety agreement carefully…"
Black Tower's eyes narrowed slightly: "Huh?"
"No, of course not!" The Mirror immediately corrected himself, "I've already helped everyone select the targets—target: Wengfaluo Si! Three, two, one… activate!"
…
A blinding white light flashed past, and when everyone opened their eyes, they found themselves beneath a slowly flowing star river, the totems of the twelve Fire Seeds in the sky lighting up in sequence, like twelve dazzling stars.
"... The flow of Memetic Essence is so heavy." Xingqiri gazed at the vortex deep in the Genesis Vortex Heart, "Unlike the dreams of Pinokangni, here lies true epic accumulated over tens of thousands of years."
"The Genesis Vortex Heart, the beginning and end of all myths. And in the new world opened by the stars…… the endless cycle of reincarnation has been broken."

Shinigami.
"Judging by heart, Urahara Kisuke, what do you think the Soul Society's chance of victory against Tumu is?"
In the Technical Development Bureau, Nemuri Mayuri's figure rarely walked side by side with the previous bureau chief; if it weren't for the imminent threat of Tumu, Jushiro Ukitake, now serving as Total Commander, would not want to work again with Urahara Kisuke.
Urahara slowly extended two fingers: "At most twenty percent."
"Hah..."
Urahara lightly tapped his palm with his paper fan: "Does Captain Nemuri's cold laugh mean he thinks twenty percent is too high? Or too low?"
"Too high, I even think it's less than one percent."
As they spoke, the two arrived at a room filled with display screens; this is the Soul Pressure Monitoring Hub of the Technical Development Bureau, where originally each screen should have been jumping with different frequency waveform diagrams, but since not long ago the entire room was occupied by Zandal's image, Nemuri Mayuri in anger turned off most of them, keeping only the most important few.
"Until now, I still haven't figured out how Zandal managed to implant that image into the Technical Development Bureau." Nemuri Mayuri said somewhat dryly, "The monster created by that fellow, an existence surpassing the Envoy…… Tumu is probably stronger than the original God Lord Ri. It's impossible to summon a train to crash into Tumu, right?"
"To defeat such a monster, relying solely on the Soul Society's combat inside Wengfaluo Si is far from enough. Tumu's body is a high-precision machine, and at that time we might still need to find a way to interfere with it from within."
"Within……" Urahara Kisuke lowered his head in thought for a moment, "I've been pondering a question: if Tumu is that strange beast born without a skull, and at birth it instinctively tries to seize this 'skull' of the Erudition Venerate, then if its original skull—De Miu Ge—were restored to its original state, what would happen?"
—
"Plant the 'Pioneer' beacon and establish contact with the outside world."
"Then… I leave it to you all. I cannot show myself before the Liuguang Yiting. Also, Mr. Xingqiri, it's also inappropriate to show up, right?"
Xingqiri and Black Swan exchanged a knowing glance: "Agreed."
"The Xingzhou Train has landed. If you can receive this message, please reply immediately. Over." As Ji Zi deployed the beacon here, the figures of Fu Xuan and others appeared before several people.
"This is the Xianzhou Alliance, communications normal."
"Stellar Peace Company, communications normal." Shajin scanned the surroundings, "The Sea-Wandering Rangers have no response? That's also normal. Just didn't expect that at this critical moment, the family would remain silent."
"It's really too much to not put the independent directors of Pinokangni in one's eyes. Long time no see, Miss Ji Zi." Another familiar voice sounded among the crowd.
"Long time no see, Jade Lady."
"The importance of this battle is comparable to the 'Zhuoluo Suppression War'. Only victory can dispel the 'Tumu' shadow looming over myriad worlds." Jade Lady smiled faintly, "Such a 'Storage and Protection' undertaking, the Shixin Ten must certainly give their all."
