Chapter 1090 Epilogue: As I Write
Chapter 1090 Epilogue: As I Write
Old Emperor continued, "Let the young people keep making a fuss. What if one day they really do change the world?"
Xing walked down the streets of Pinocchio and heard people around her speaking familiar words.
"Titans, reincarnation, 'fall of consciousness'... quite an imagination. Unfortunately, the theme is still old-fashioned—it's just heroes fighting monsters, I've seen it a hundred times!"
The speaker was a man named James, and the person he was talking to was a woman named Casey.
Casey, however, said, "That's what we call the classic story. It's because people want to keep watching that this kind of subject matter is so enduring. Besides, this story isn't made up... Haven't you heard the interstellar peace report? The Iron Tomb really was defeated, and the seeds of civilization have been born in the universe."
Perhaps one day, we'll be able to step into that world of memories and talk face-to-face with the heroes in the books.
Even after hearing this, James still didn't believe it at all: "A world made of memory matter? I don't believe it. It must be something the Oak family made up."
Casey was speechless at the man who wouldn't listen to reason: "Forget it, you should go play with Watch Boy at the movie park, but be careful not to get kidnapped by the alien memes."
The conversation between the two ended unpleasantly. As James walked alone, Star quietly crept up to him and, taking advantage of his inattention, put a trash can over his head. She then turned into an alley and gave him a friendly but ultimately harmless lecture.
Starry Sky Railway Pioneer Star: "Hey, we just promised Xi Lian that if anyone didn't believe us, we'd give them a good beating, and now someone's showing up."
Starry Sky Railway March 7: "These stubborn and inflexible people exist in every world. There's a Pinocchio named James, right? We'd better not find him."
Xingqiong Railway Xilian: "Actually, I prefer to use a gentle approach to make him trust us, rather than resorting to violence."
Honkai Impact 3 Kiana: "Miss Xilian, you don't understand. People like this always respond better to force than gentleness. Once he knows what pain is, he'll start to use his brain properly."
Finally, Xing arrived at the Black Tower Space Station, where Estádio was confirming some information.
Estelle: "Yes, transport the damaged ships to Pierpoint and have the company reimburse us..."
After transmitting the message, Estella turned around and saw Hoshino arrive. She said with some surprise, "Isn't this Hoshino? You've come at the perfect time. I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
Xing thought for a moment and said, "Good news."
"Remember the Star Destroyer I gave you? The good news is, I got it in stock from a space pirate... but then his fleet was pulled away to fight the Iron Tomb, and the Star Destroyer... was destroyed."
I relisted the purchase order, but it's difficult to find a second seller for such a large ship in the short term.
Honkai Impact 3rd Patuo: "Wait, I actually bought a Star Destroyer!"
Starry Sky Railway Sai Fei'er: "Is this a cosmic-level rich woman? She's a complete tailor! Unmatched!"
Stardust Railway Pioneer Star: "No! My Star Destroyer! This is proof that I'm being kept by a rich woman!"
Starry Sky Railway Firefly: "If Ah Xing wants it, the bounty on my wanted poster should be enough to buy a star destroyer. I'll go to the company and rob the money when I have time."
Starry Sky Railway Topa: "Wait, how come they're ripping off the company both on and off screen?"
At this moment, Xing revealed his purpose: "Actually, I've also come for the Iron Tomb..."
Xing recounted the story behind "As I Write" and the current situation of Onfaros...
Upon hearing this, Aista said, "I must say, this idea is much more interesting than the research topics proposed by the staff. It's a pity you don't need financing, otherwise I would definitely invest several hundred million credits."
When I was in school, I took a minor course in the history of marginal planets. On the first planet, the teacher warned us not to take it too seriously. Many worlds add exaggerated elements to their local heroic legends, claiming that their ancestors inherited their bloodline from a certain star god... Later on, bizarre origin stories became a trend.
But… isn't that how the story goes? The more people believe, the more it gradually becomes reality. I'll help make *As I Write* a required reading list for the space station—perhaps the crew aren't interested in mythology, but mentioning it's about Ms. Black Tower's project will make them as excited as Pepe getting her spacesuit.
"Speaking of which, what about the Black Tower?"
"Ms. Black Tower... she's somewhat overexerted and needs some time to recover."
"Who said that?" Just then, a small black tower puppet walked over and said in that familiar tone, "A mere Annihilation Lord is not enough to overexert me. I just haven't logged in yet."
The company keeps trying to pull people into some kind of alliance, and I couldn't stand their nagging, so I switched to auto-responder mode. Okay, Star, I have some good news for you. After the Iron Tomb fell, the scepter was destroyed along with it, but Screw and I managed to salvage most of the data.
They are crucial to the nascent Onpharos—for now, let's call them that. If all goes well, the evolution of the world can skip the inorganic life stage and take a giant leap forward.
Moreover, the last one—your time as the Negative World Titan—is crucial. "Pioneering" will replace "Destruction," purifying this world. Screw and the Corporation have a special agreement; they will closely monitor Onpharos's condition for the foreseeable future.
Starry Sky Railway White E: "You've revealed a lot of information all at once, but overall, Onfaros seems to be developing in a positive direction."
Genshin Impact Colombia: "Yeah, but can we really trust the company?"
Juequ Zero Moon City Willow: "Indeed, given the company's track record, they might pull some shady tricks."
At this moment, Xing also asked her own question: "Then... what about Xi Lian?"
After hearing this, Black Tower remained silent for a moment before saying, "As the heart of the scepter, it also filled all worlds the moment the Iron Tomb swept across the universe, becoming a memory of the stars."
The surging imaginary energy allowed her to create a miracle, using herself as a cradle to close the causality of Onpharos, giving birth to a world from the realm of memories. Of course, I know you're asking about the outcome, so let's understand it this way: she… is simply asleep. She will open her eyes again, transform back into the pink memory spirit, and embark on her journey once more to meet you…
But this happened in the past, and in her time, it was eternal. She was smiling before she left. So, don't be sad—she would tell you the same thing.
"How long will it take for the new Onpharos to be born?"
"I...can't make any promises. That planet will gradually become the way you know it, but the timeframe is unknown. It might take a thousand Amber Ages, or it might only take a year or two. The only certainty is that what you're doing will definitely promote its growth."
My advice is to continue your journey, be prepared, and keep hope in your heart. You know, the world of Onphalus is full of miracles.
What is the first cause of life?
"I've reached a consensus with the screw. Unfortunately, the answer to the scepter is destruction, and you can find a more detailed discussion in the database. But this isn't Onpharos's answer, and I think it's probably not yours either."
I have my own insights on this, which I've written in the notes. If you're interested in this type of question, you can also list it as your own research topic.
"I'm done with my questions."
"I'll hang up now, I still have a lot to take care of - Black Tower, offline."
After the Black Tower went offline, Estelle said, "Actually, Lady Black Tower has always been thinking about Onpharos. The last time she mentioned something in her three sentences, it was when she was containing the Star Core."
Leave the matter of "As I Write" to us. I'll contact you again when I have news.
Leaving the space station, Xing returned to the Star Train, gazing at the starry sky from the observation car. Looking back on the journey, the Onpharos she had told had taken deep root in the universe, patiently awaiting the day it would sprout.
Xing murmured to herself, "Perhaps, this is the final step in the creation of the world."
"What are you spacing out for?" March 7th and Danheng came up behind Xing. Xing turned around and saw the two of them. "Oh, it's you... You guys finished the mission too?"
March 7: "Of course! After all, Onpharos was developed by the three of us together, so I think it'll be a good place to run."
Danheng: "When I left Tarrasa, I received a message from March, so I came back with her. She had run into some trouble on Kael'thas."
"Don't even mention it. He's naturally introverted, and then the Lianjue beacon malfunctioned... Luckily, Danheng can speak clay language."
"In addition, I discovered a new species resembling a chimera in Spindle 3, which had not been recorded before."
"Doesn't that mean there's a possibility that a planet could be inhabited by giant earth beasts?"
"Let's do a joint debriefing when Ji Zi and Uncle Yang get back. Why don't you rest for a bit first? You look a little tired."
"Oh yeah, see you later then."
After the two left, the world was quieter than ever before, as if one could hear a heartbeat. This was the last stroke of the star's pen for Onpharos; when it would respond, only fate knew the answer.
But Xing knows that, whether it's tomorrow or the day after, they are on the path of forging ahead. They are not two parallel lines, but rather the point where they are bound to intersect.
Just then, Xing heard that familiar voice: "Be firm, keep your eyes fixed on the front!"
However, when Xing opened her eyes, there was no one there. Finally, recalling the book "As I Write," Xing slowly said, "Onpharos, see you tomorrow."
Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "It seems that the members of the train crew have visited all the worlds they had previously explored separately."
Starry Sky Railway March 7: "After all, we need to promote Onpharos, so of course we need to let our old friends know first."
Honkai Impact 3rd Alicia: "Now, the story of Onpharos has come to a complete end, but the story of the Golden Blood continues. Let's look forward to it like the ending of the story. Onpharos, see you tomorrow."
