This isn't my first time heading to the sixtieth floor, although last time a senior helped me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the difficulty last time, while hard in the Deceit Tower, wasn't that hard in the Desire Tower...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just thinking, both are over sixty floors, how can the difference in difficulty be so vast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You suspect you missed some information?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu looked at the text on the invitation letter again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because Sirius's will awakened at a certain moment in the future, he used his own power to begin a game with the Pisces of the past...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu read this passage aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit that he had been bluffed by Pisces's Time Walkers, to the point that when he was analyzing the prompt, he ignored this crucial sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We truly saved Sirius, and the Sirius of the future began to confront the Pisces of the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does this imply that if I return to the Desire Tower, I won't be alone... but will receive help from the future Sirius, and even the future you, that is, the help of you all at this moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn was puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for the Desire Tower, none of this has happened yet, how could I possibly know about future events?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Sirius. We have actually never been clear about Sirius's abilities, only knowing that he can create worlds with strange rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These worlds are related to his spirit, but they can also exist in reality... who knows, this might be his breakthrough point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius cannot defeat Pisces, but what if he makes use of the Three Towers mechanism and the bunker people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, he is not facing Pisces herself, but merely her subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The difficulty of the sixtieth floor is high, but not to this extent... Perhaps this time, the Tower of Desire will instead be like the Tower of Deceit, where I can use the rules to defeat the rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo En understood; indeed, for Wen Xishu, if this Tower of Deceit felt like the Tower of Desire, then perhaps the Tower of Desire would conversely feel more like the Tower of Deceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, since the prompt explicitly stated that the Sirius of the future has begun to play a game against the Pisces of the past...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Wen Xishu is a variable, an existence outside the chessboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he overcomes the fear in his heart, he might truly be able to change the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... have you thought it through? Are you really going?\" Huo En actually felt that he could be a discarded pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot harbor fear toward any constellation... otherwise, I will only be more afraid to face them in the future. I have challenged the scenarios of so many constellations; there is no reason to fear Pisces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything I have done was to obtain this invitation, and from the invitation, I understood that Pisces can erase everything I have done. I cannot give her that chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huo En, if there were no one like you in the future, I would be very regretful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invitation began to take effect, and Wen Xishu's figure vanished.
