Chapter 1554

"Black Tower curled the corner of his mouth: 'Putting on airs.'"

"'He knew we would come. After learning of the existence of the 'Great Tomb,' he also searched for De Miu Ge.'"

"Black Tower was eager to try, clenching fists and rubbing palms: 'You want to settle the score with us? Good, then as he wishes, let Zhi Xie Ge dig his own grave.'"

"The two raised their heads, and in the high sky ahead was an irregular data vortex center, countless black data streams flowing toward the center of the giant eye, like a giant eye growing inside the scepter, hovering high above countless collapsing ruins."

"'In pure light, just as in pure darkness, there is nothing at all.' Screw Gum whispered."

"'The core of the scepter should now be called the 'Great Monarch Placenta.'"

"'It's regrettable. So far, we still have nothing.'"

"'Is that so? I don't think so—' Black Tower crossed her arms, compared to Screw Gum, her attitude was much more optimistic, 'Having nothing at all is the greatest achievement.'"

"'I wish to hear the details.'"

"'If De Miu Ge was eliminated, there should be some remnants here. I don't believe the Star Core could be as precise as a scalpel, obliterating all traces.' Black Tower said, 'Still, it's too 'clean' a disappearance—if not for Memory Envoy stirring the waters, no one would know De Miu Ge existed—that was the scepter's original calculation target, impossible to leave no record at all.'"

"After speaking, Black Tower added: 'Or change the angle—if you were 'Zandal'—would you care so much about a non-threatening concept, guarding against it everywhere?'"

"'There's also a possibility: he is naturally cautious and meticulous, unable to tolerate any variables.' Screw Gum reminded."

"'That matches the impression he gives. But just now, Zandal himself denied this possibility. Preferring to cut off his tail to survive, he chose to act—this mindset we know all too well...'"

"Black Tower slowly closed her eyes: 'The 'unknown' is right before our eyes—besides 'answer,' there is no second option.'"

"——"

"Fanren Xiuzhen Chuan."

"'That puppet called Zandal seems to be a futile attempt to cover up... fortunately, this Black Tower Immortal saw through it at a glance.'"

"Upon hearing the news of Zandal's death, Mazhi Mo also finally breathed a little easier. Although the threat of Iron Tomb remains, at least he no longer needs to guard against Zandal alone."

"'By the way, Daoist Han, if Immortal Xilian is a Memory Envoy, then isn't it possible for her to travel back to the past and deliver divine revelations to her former self? This seems too absurd—how could one person traverse time and space, disturbing causality like that?'"

"'What Daoist Ma said is correct—the 'Memory' path, at most, allows one to retrace the past within Wengfaluo Si, read the spirit soul, and indeed has no relation to such heaven-defying power as 'disturbing causality,' however...' Han Li picked up the cup of cold spiritual tea on the table and whispered, 'But this path differs from the cultivation methods we know—each path, in different hands, may develop many wonderful uses.'"

"'Oh? What does Daoist Han mean...?'"

"'Taking the demon cultivator 'Night Moon' whom Daoist Ma knows best—though she and Immortal Xilian share the same lineage and both bear the Fu Li bloodline, she masters the power of 'Oblivion.' Han Li infers that this power of Oblivion should not be usable by every Wu Luo Jing Zi.'"

"'Daoist Han's meaning is that as long as one bears the Fu Li bloodline and is a practitioner of the 'Memory' great path, one can cultivate this transcendent temporal ability?' Lu Yuan Zhen exclaimed in astonishment."

"Han Li said calmly: 'Not necessarily—now we have only seen Xilian like this; perhaps this is merely her unique trait, just like Night Moon, both walking different paths on the 'Memory' great path—one mastering the heaven-defying power to transcend time, the other mastering the power of 'Oblivion.'"

"'The 'Memory' path is so miraculous...' Mazhi Mo stroked his chin, 'Then does it not mean that the Black Swan Immortal can also cultivate such divine abilities?'"

"'That may not be the case—Night Moon's methods, to ordinary Rememberers, can only be described as 'beyond belief.' Now it seems only Wu Luo Jing Zi possess such potential.'"

"——"

"'You seem so certain—you must already have some guess in mind. Would you mind sharing it with me?'"

"'Of course, although there is no evidence, I can almost be certain...' Black Tower opened her eyes, word by word: 'De Miu Ge, from the very beginning, has been in people's sight... yet was mistaken for another.'"

"'This makes sense. Why is the room empty as empty? Because the person locked inside had long since run out. But it is tiny, weak, devoid of presence—even Zhi Xie Ge didn't notice.'"

"Screw Gum reminded: 'That also means—with high probability—its power is minuscule, unable to sway the situation.'"

"'At least 'Zandal' still fears it.' Black Tower turned toward the mistletoe: 'Come on, it's time for confrontation. Go to his so-called 'Tombstone.'"

"The entire Great Tomb lay shattered in the Star Core's explosion; gazing at the floating debris outside the window, Black Tower softly sighed: 'A ruin, utterly thorough.'"

"'He tried to conceal the truth with the most thorough 'Destruction.' Logically consistent, means extreme.'"

"'Unfortunately, hope is slim, but that doesn't mean nonexistent. Even if I had to find a grain of sand in the universe—I have done it before.'"

"'Calculation result: your backup plan—success rate approaches zero infinitely.'"

"Black Tower didn't mind: 'Then it means it can succeed, doesn't it?'"

"As they spoke, the mistletoe had already traversed a long tunnel, arriving at a dim space where debris lay everywhere, barely able to make out the front gate engraved with the totem of the Twelve Titans."

"'Beneath the tombstone lies this place.'"

"'As Gushi wished, dig up his coffin.'"

"The two disembarked from the aircraft, and from afar saw something lying on the ground."

"After seeing the true appearance of 'that thing,' Black Tower curled the corner of her mouth with a hint of a smile: 'Heh, you guessed right.'"

"——Zandal's head."

"'Ah...'"

"He tilted his head toward the sky, helplessly watching the two geniuses walking toward him."

"'Only a head left? Your real appearance is truly pitiful.'"

"'Long... no... greetings.'"

"Red light flickered on the head, transmitting Zandal's intermittent voice."
