Chapter 1561

"Xilian lowered her head, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, 'The daughter of Aolixie, truly living up to her name.' My 'compassion'... is a kind of weakness, powerless, harming oneself. But now, my good friend, I want to tell you, it is also the most romantic power in the world."

"Sometimes it is loneliness, unease. Knowing the world is not gentle, hoping to be seen by it in a more beautiful form. Sometimes it is unwillingness, regret. Knowing the past is filled with pain, hoping to remember it in a more beautiful form."

"Sometimes it is a bottomless harm, a 'destruction' that contaminates all things. I bid farewell to this beautiful world, unwilling to become a vessel for the black tide. For the end of 'hatred' is a raging fire, but 'compassion' can silently, soundlessly, engulf everything."

"This makes no sense, right? But when 'hatred' separates all things, 'love' does not yet exist in the world..."

"Only 'compassion,' the initial emotion resisting separation, can make 'destruction' halt its steps... then catch up to the journey that has lost everything, carefully choosing, anxiously recording."

"Look, I have written this story, every page filled with tenderness, filled with happiness. Only the poet knows, beyond the story, how much struggle and pain there is."

"'Compassion'... I initially thought it was a homophone for 'Ai Li' or 'love'." Eden lowered her head in thought, "Turns out, the original impetus of 'memory' is actually compassion?"

A very gentle word, but beneath the gentleness, it seems to press down on something heavy.

The original impetus of the other eleven paths have all been revealed, only 'memory' has been concealed. Eden and the others initially had many guesses, considering that 'memory' would reshape the entire universe, they thought its original impetus would likely be tied to some grand concepts, such as 'hope,' 'obsession'... They even guessed 'love,' after all, 'love' is a word capable of creating countless miracles, and it also fits Xilian's impression very well.

"Only 'compassion' can make destruction halt its steps... In that case, Xilian is the key to opposing the Iron Tomb." Patrick looked at the pink-haired girl in the sky curtain, her hands behind her back, constantly moving forward, with a worried expression, "But, is the Iron Tomb larger than an ordinary planet? How are we supposed to fight it?"

"No need to undersell yourself, Patrick." Eden chuckled lightly, "The Iron Tomb uses the black tide as nourishment for deep learning, over thirty million learnings making it unprecedentedly strong. But likewise, Xilian also has thirty million lifetimes of memory as nourishment, she can also become very formidable, not to mention the Galactic Alliance fleet will help."

"What use are those fleets? Those high-ranking big shots aren't willing to lift a finger, not one of them." Qian Jie crossed his arms, standing to the side, speaking coldly.

"If the threat of the Iron Tomb truly expands to the point where even the Astral Express cannot stop it, then I don't believe those high-ranking officials could still sit by and do nothing. If the Iron Tomb is about to be crowned, then those threatened would not just be the five surrounding star systems..." Eden took a deep breath, a cold hue also appearing on her face, "... but the entire universe. This will be a disaster surpassing the 'Cosmic Locust Plague,' two 'Anti-Organic Wars,' I don't believe they can still sit idly by."

"But I am not a poet, I am a girl who will not grow up. I only tell stories that people long for, in that story, the world also hides its wounds, smiling as people see it."

"My entire life has been in this little story. Unable to wipe away tears, unable to bring victory. But ah. Perhaps in an unchanging narration, at some moment, my 'compassion' could also stain the divine, touch His soft heart?"

"I will make a wish, from that wound flowing out, not blood, but a drop of moist tear. And it will fall, ripple outward the first ripple."

"At that time, people will see, reflected in the ripples, all beautiful things."

"It is in this story, all of the 'memory'."

"..."

"In a blinding white light, Xilian finally stood before that flower of memory."

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

"'But, Taizi, since just now, I don't understand what you're saying.' De Miu Ge dazedly turned his head to look around, then lowered his gaze to look at Xilian before him, 'Everything is false? But you are clearly standing here. This is a dream? But I haven't even learned how to 'dream' yet.'"

"'Yes, so I believe, this is all true. Just like the moment a crystal flower falls... that sincere tremor, is the 'factor of life'.'"

"Xilian earnestly looked at De Miu Ge: 'In the poem dedicated to you, every 'Xilian' will be written with stars, hundreds of flowers, a beautiful new world. And in this reincarnation, when gazing at the sky, I saw a shooting star, and also a hint of 'memory's' pink. I believe, that is the color of dawn.'"

"The system prompt sounded again above her head: '>>>> Format Progress: 23.815%......'"

Attack on Titan.

"A hint of memory's pink... this should refer to San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue, she has already entered Wengfaluo Si's interior, so this is the 33550336th reincarnation." Armin rubbed his chin, "Xilian and Bai E have waited thirty million lifetimes for the 'gray-white' dawn, finally about to intervene in Wengfaluo Si's causality."

"Thirty million lifetimes of reincarnation, Xilian and Bai E are like trudging forward on an endless road with no end in sight, now that shooting star has brought hope, letting this nearly endless road finally appear an 'endpoint'."

"Even though Armin did not personally participate in this arduous journey, he felt genuine happiness for them from the bottom of his heart."

"De Miu Ge is a Memory Envoy, what kind of power did she also receive from the Star God Fu Li?"

Thinking of this, Eren again couldn't help but secretly anticipate. Previously, like the envoys of the Xianzhou, the power bestowed by the Star Gods was astonishingly impressive, if we want to wage a decisive battle against something like the Iron Tomb, Xilian's performance absolutely cannot fall short of Jing Yuan's.

Eren originally still hoped Jing Yuan and Feixiao would two Jing Yuan and the Train Society team up to beat the Iron Tomb, but now it seems... this idea is unlikely to be realized.

"Unclear, but the Iron Tomb's power is above that of envoys, if it's just a regular envoy, I'm afraid it still wouldn't be enough to oppose the Iron Tomb." Armin lightly sighed, "She and San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue are both Wu Luo Jing Zi, their powers should be roughly equal, when the time comes cooperating with the Black Tower Lady, inside and outside coordination... should be able to fight the Iron Tomb to a standstill."
