Chapter 1641

"Star's final stop was the Black Tower Space Station, where Ai Si Da was seen frowning at her phone, seemingly communicating work matters with others."

"'Yes, sending the damaged ships to Beir Pointe for the company to write off…' After finishing her tasks, Ai Si Da quickly regained her smile, greeted the star, and said, 'This isn't you, Star? Perfect timing—I have both good and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?'"

"'The bad news.'"

"'Hmm… upon reflection, starting with the bad news feels a bit lacking in buildup. Let's hear the good one first. Do you remember the Star Destroyer Warship I gave you? The good news is, I acquired a brand-new one from a space pirate…' Ai Si Da rested her hand on her forehead, wearing a regretful expression, 'But just as his fleet was redeployed to fight the Iron Grave, that Star Destroyer… was destroyed.'"

"'I've re-listed the purchase order. But for such a large vessel, finding another seller anytime soon will be difficult.'"

"Star's journey here was also for the Iron Grave; she told Ai Si Da everything about the story behind *Ru Wo Su Shu* and the current state of Wengfaluo Si in full detail."

"'…I must say, this idea is far more interesting than the staff members' topics. Too bad you don't need funding, otherwise I'd definitely invest a few hundred million credit points. Back when I was studying, I took an elective in Borderland Planet History. On the first day, the professor warned us: Don't take it seriously.'"

"'Many worlds add exaggerated elements to their native hero legends, claiming their ancestors' bloodline descends from a certain star god… later, such fantastical origins became a trend.'"

"'But… isn't that what stories are? As long as enough people believe in them, they gradually become real.' Ai Si Da promised, 'I'll help list *Ru Wo Su Shu* as required reading for the space station—perhaps the staff aren't interested in mythology, but once they hear it's the Black Tower Lady's project, they'll get as excited as Pepe seeing an astronaut suit.'"

"Jujutsu Kaisen."

"The problem is, the Golden Descendants truly have no exaggeration at all, and their performance is even more exaggerated than the myths."

"Although Bai E's challenge against Nan Nu Ke happened long ago, Hikoshibe still feels his heart race and gets goosebumps whenever he recalls it."

"In the Huazuo, is there anyone who harmed a star god with a mortal body? Carrying four hundred million fire seeds in their body—even mythological tales wouldn't dare invent such a thing."

"As the saying goes: reality is often far more exaggerated than human imagination."

"'Speaking of which, from Belloc Berg to the Black Tower Space Station, from the Great Guardian to the company executive's daughter, the famed singer of the Huazuo—Star's connections are truly enviable.'"

"Although Mei Mei's expression is mostly obscured by her white hair braid, which resembles a geoduck clam, Hikoshibe can still faintly see her regretful look."

"'How so? Envious of her ability to deal with so many big figures?'"

"'Hmm.' Mei Mei shook her head regretfully, 'Too bad… she has no interest in money. Otherwise, just this network alone—if she put even a little effort into it—the copyright of *Ru Wo Su Shu* would be an astronomical sum. Seeing someone pass up easily obtainable profit, even if it's unrelated to me, I still feel heartache.'"

"'Only you would concern yourself with such matters. The Xingzhou Train alone—just its shares in Pinokangni—has already spent all its money. Unless the Soul Society also wants to buy something like a Star Destroyer Warship, otherwise, even trying to spend that portion of dividends on red flowers would be difficult.'"

""

"'By the way, how is the Black Tower?' Star asked."

"'The Black Tower Lady… has over-exerted herself and still needs time to recover.'"

"Before Ai Si Da finished speaking, a familiar voice came from beside her: 'Who said that?'"

"Only to see the Black Tower doll swaying toward them: 'A mere Minor Extinction Great King—still not enough to make me "over-exerted." I'm just not online. The company insists on forming some "alliance." I can't tolerate their nagging, so I activated automatic response mode.'"

"After saying that, the Black Tower turned her head toward Star: 'By the way, Star, here's another good news: after the Iron Grave's fall, the Scepter was also scrapped, but I and Screw salvaged most of the data. They're crucial for the reborn Wengfaluo Si—let's call it that for now. If successful, the world's evolution could skip the inorganic life stage and take a major leap forward.'"

"'Moreover, the final calculation record—when you served as the 'Fallen World' Titan—is crucial. 'Development' will replace 'Destruction,' purifying this world. Screw and the company have signed a special agreement. For a period ahead, they will closely monitor Wengfaluo Si's condition.'"

"'And what about Xilian?' Star's face immediately drooped; she urgently wanted to know the answer."

""……""

""……" The previously talkative Black Tower fell silent, hesitated for a long time, then sighed deeply: 'As the "heart" of the Scepter, during the moment the Iron Grave swept across the universe, she also filled all realms, becoming the stars' "memory." The surging imaginary energy allowed her to create a miracle: with "self" as the cradle, she closed the causality of Wengfaluo Si, letting a world be born from the Memory Realm.'"

"'Of course, I know you're asking about the outcome. Perhaps understand it this way: she… just fell asleep. She will reopen her eyes, return to a pink Memory Spirit, embark on the journey again, and meet you once more… but this happens in the "past." In her time, all this is simply "eternity."'"

"'Before leaving, she was smiling. So don't be sad—she will also advise you this way.'"

"Star felt as if struck in the chest by an iron hammer, only a heavy, dull pain."

"If it were Xilian, what would she say?"

"Xilian is. Smiling as she said goodbye. Gentle. Pink. Like a flower."

"Star struggled to calm herself, then continued asking: 'How long will it take for the reborn Wengfaluo Si to be born?'"

"'I… cannot promise you. That planet will gradually become what you know, but time is unknown. It might take one thousand Amber Eras, or just one or two years. The only certainty is: what you're doing now will surely promote its growth.'"
