Chapter 1623

She understood Xilian's choice.

Because if it were her, she would definitely make the same choice as her.

When one side of the scale holds the safety of the entire universe, and the other side is her own future... even if the "certain probability" mentioned by the Black Tower Lady is one percent, she would not gamble the safety of all beings on it.

To Xilian, this is a single-choice question.

Is seeking an encounter in the dungeon wrong?

"Wait, what if Xilian... Xilian stayed in the past... then how are we supposed to live with those death knells in the future?!"

Wei Er Fu's face instantly turned pale, and he suddenly realized the crux of the problem: the Iron Tomb can be rebuilt, but Xilian only has one!

"San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue is also a Wu Luo Jing Zi; theoretically, she could also reshape the universe like Xilian, but the premise is that her consciousness must also be spread across the Huazuo like Xilian's." Lililuka lowered her head in thought.

"Hey hey hey, I think we should first exclude San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue." Wei Er Fu made a big "X" with both hands on his chest, "First, Chang Ye Yue would never agree to this; she would regard Fu Li, and even the entire 'Memory' Fate's Narrow Gap, as a mortal enemy, even attempting to destroy the Fate's Narrow Gap she treads upon like Zandal does... just based on this, she would absolutely never agree."

"Moreover, Wu Luo Jing Zi must sacrifice the self to seal 'cause and effect'; do you think the Xingzhou Train would just watch San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue become the 'price'? Impossible!"

Seeing the Train's adventure all the way to now, Wei Er Fu dare not say much else, but he knows all too well how much the Train Society cherishes its companions and their insistence on never abandoning anyone.

"That may be, but if there is no Wu Luo Jing Zi to serve as a safety net, then each death knell sounded by the Galaxy in the future... each one could possibly end the Huazuo." Lililuka sighed deeply, "Even us could be ended."

"The Black Tower Lady smiled knowingly, then simply stopped saying anything more, turned her head, and walked toward the distance. She had once asked the Erudition Venerate: 'What is divinity?'"

"The Erudition Venerate did not answer her. Now, however, she has received a satisfying answer from Xilian's mouth."

""What a... reassuring answer.""

"Xilian stopped walking: 'As for that selfishness of mine that is hardest to let go...'"

"The image of a star slowly appeared behind her, walking in the exact opposite direction from her."

"'One stays in the past... one walks toward the future.'"

"'I believe that the her I care about most... will surely bear witness to... every star shining brightly in tomorrow's ♪'"

"Xilian walked alone in a brilliant white light, when suddenly, a memory crystal appeared ahead."

"'To go against the flow in 'Memory' is truly a novel experience.' Xilian carefully examined the purple crystal, 'This moment is when the 'Iron Tomb' declares victory, scattering 'Destruction' across the stars? It turns out, in the Fate's Narrow Gap, it was 'I' who found 'I'. The whisper of the divine, turned out to be a girl's self-talk. Recalling, the words I heard back then were...'"

"'Have you and I ever been the children of the divine, blessed by sin, fallen to the mortal realm, and by our hands written the poem of erasure, which was once yours and mine in the memory of Shan Jian Tian, forgotten?'"

"Xilian slowly opened her eyes: 'But I clearly only wanted to say: 'Don't give up, the star will find you'... 'Memory' is truly wonderful.'"

"'Then, let people exercise this power... to sow cause and effect for the destined 'miracle'♪'"

"Xilian reached out toward that memory crystal, and after a blinding white light, she found herself in a beautiful courtyard."

"A corridor stretching endlessly into invisibility appeared before her."

"'Although so, must we walk all the way to the origin of 'Memory'?'"

Jujutsu Kaisen.

"So, I think there are two issues that are very important right now." Rikuto Kusakabe extended two fingers, "First, we must investigate whether there are any Wu Luo Jing Zi on Earth. Second, afterward, is there any way to save Xilian from reincarnation?"

"As for the first, high-level officials of various countries have now realized the importance of Wu Luo Jing Zi and should increase investigation efforts." Ri Che Kuan crossed his hands, pressing them against his face, "As for the second problem mentioned by Rikuto Kusakabe-sensei, my answer leans toward... no."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Yuji Itadori lowered his head and picked at his fingers: "That is to say, there is not even a single way to save Xilian? Even if other geniuses help, it still cannot be done?"

"Since it involves the problem of time and cause and effect, the issue becomes extremely complex." Yi Gu's voice sank, "She sealed cause and effect with herself as the price, remaining in the past. Theoretically, her current state... has no difference from 'death'. Just like when Gokujou-sensei was sealed in the Jummeng Zhen, she is eternally 'imprisoned' by cause and effect."

"But this hasn't been completely decided yet?" Jiāmò Xiànjì raised an objection, "Xilian is equivalent to anchoring the Iron Tomb's defeat through self-sacrifice. If the Train Society in the future achieves greater growth, possessing stronger power, even if the Iron Tomb turns the tide and is no longer their opponent, could Xilian still undo the anchoring of cause and effect and return to reality?"

—

"Xilian crossed her arms, somewhat helplessly: 'This road is so far, walking alone does get a bit lonely.'"

"'Then, do you mind if one more person joins you on the journey?'"

"Suddenly, a familiar and gentle voice sounded from behind, like a soft spring light, falling down without any warning."

"""""

"Xilian froze, her shoulders unconsciously tensing for a moment—but this surprise quickly melted like snowmelt, soon turning into a faint smile at the corner of her mouth."

"'If it's Taizi, even thirty million more wouldn't bother me?'"

"Taizi smiled faintly: 'One is enough. Get your spirits ready, we're setting out? Following the ripples of memory toward the past, we will string together those moments of 'divine manifestation' one by one.'"

"'Clearly, it is the 'cause' that brings about the 'effect'. But now, it is the 'future' that has given new meaning to the 'past', the 'effect' coming back to nourish the 'cause'..."

"'Perhaps, this is the wonder of 'Memory'♪' Taizi placed the back of her hand behind her, stepped forward, 'Looking back composes every ripple. Home.'"
