Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 453 That Moment Xia: My Head Feels Heavy

By feeding past data into the data lifecycle that is currently running, Yunzhi did not do this casually.

He also consulted with technical experts in the alliance and asked Black Tower for their opinions.

Heita suggested that if they wanted to have a proper discussion with the local indigenous people, they should hand over some of their past data records to the twelve main factors. This would make the discussions between Yunzhi and them much easier.

Knowing that countless cycles of suffering had been arduous and hopeless, they would always find another way.

—As long as they're not stupid.

Great, since they can all do it, then Yunzhi will click "confirm".

Anyway, he had everything prepared and was just waiting for the professionals to make the final decision.

He chose the "rational" factor and fed him over a hundred archived data entries.

—As for rationality, I believe that even with so many memories, he will still remain rational.

……Really?

Yunzhi stood at the doorway, watching the light green mint-colored kitten… well, watching Anaxagoras, one of the Seven Sages of the Tree of Wisdom and leader of the School of the Wise, suddenly burst into laughter after digesting all the memories…

Yunzhi felt that he might have done something wrong.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Feng Jin was genuinely worried as she watched her teacher stand up and burst into laughter without even wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

"It's alright, Hyacinthus."

He was simply... happy to learn the truth about the world...

It's just anger.

What did Xia see at that moment?

The beginning and ending of Eternal Return are largely the same. There are some changes in the middle, but not many. Simply put, the underlying code looks the same, and nothing else matters.

At that moment, Xia, being a scholar, quickly regained his composure after a period of confusion.

"You should introduce your friend first, rather than me."

Feng Jin had previously served as Na Ke Xia's teaching assistant. Judging from Na Ke Xia's demeanor, she seemed quite satisfied with Feng Jin's work, and was rather amiable towards the people Feng Jin brought along...

For Xia, not speaking harshly was probably the best way to put it.

Feng Jin then realized:

"Ah, teacher, this is Lord Yun, a guest from beyond the heavens who wants to see the library of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden."

Feng Jin didn't mention that Yun Zhi wanted to find him. Although she understood her teacher's personality fairly well, it was easy for a stranger to be wary of him by name.

"Oh? Then go to the library. What are you doing here?"

Xia asked directly at that moment.

This time, without Feng Jin speaking, Yun Zhi answered himself:

"There's a reason I'm looking for you, Professor Anaxagoras."

He gave a mysterious smile:

How do you view those events that happened?

That Moment Xia: ...

"Yacintes, please go out first and give me and this guest some private space."

Feng Jin blinked as she looked at the two people speaking in cryptic language.

What happened?

What's wrong?

But she didn't ask, she just smiled at Yun Zhi and said, "Then, if Lord Yun Zhi still needs a guide later, I will wait nearby."

"Thanks."

Feng Jin carried Little Ika away.

When Lie saw Little Ika, he happily followed after her, stomping his hooves.

...What's this? Is it just that you can't help but feel closer to someone cute like yourself?

Yun waved, and the gate closed.

"I originally thought Kazejin would ask something."

At that moment, Xia crossed her arms: "Yacintes has always known his limits and never asks questions he shouldn't."

Xia was at a loss as to how to treat Yun Zhi, a complete stranger, and simply pointed to a small sofa in the office—presumably where he would rest when he was tired from work.

Yunzhi didn't stand on ceremony, walked over, and sat down:

"That's fine too. After all, I specifically chose you so that the conversation would be easier and we wouldn't have to digress into countless branches when discussing a matter, and end up forgetting even the beginning."

At that moment, Xia knew what Yunzhi was saying, and he scoffed:

"You seem very confident, but how do I know whether those memories are real or fake?"

"You already believe it, don't you?"

Yun recalled Xia's expression and behavior just now, and shrugged:

"I have no reason to give you a false memory... well, more than one."

If you randomly select memories from the first, third, eighth, ... Nth time and give them to him, how should this data statement in front of you think about those memories?

"Bai'er is your student, isn't he? He truly deserves to be called a savior; he saved more than just Onpharos."

If he hadn't done that, the war of the gods would have started long ago.

Xia snorted, "Just a brat trying to be a hero, making himself look like that."

The tone was reprimanding, but Yunzhi could still detect heartache and disapproval in it.

"Lord Yun, are these the only cycles of reincarnation you've witnessed?"

At that moment, Xia recalled that in the hazy images at the end of her memory, Bai E's body, clad in a black robe, was almost completely burned away, and his shattered body seemed to be unable to bear the weight.

He only saw it a hundred times.

But is it really only a hundred or so times?

Soon, Yunzhi gave an affirmative answer:

"Of course... not only that, I saw about 33550336 save files there, and that's just for your generation."

The calculations before the scepter were not about reincarnation; the eternal return was initiated by Bai E and another girl.

Upon hearing this number, Xia's only remaining eye seemed to widen slightly.

He didn't speak, but made some strange gestures before walking behind his desk and sitting down.

"What? You can't believe you heard yourself die over thirty million times?"

Yun Zhi wore a strange smile.

At that moment, Xia raised her hand to support her forehead, her face hidden in the shadow cast by her hand, so her expression could not be seen.

"33550336 cycles of reincarnation. If Bai E does this every time, then there will be more than 400 million fire seeds within Bai E's body... Ha... Hahahaha..."

Yunzhi waited patiently for Xia to process this unbelievable news.

It's not surprising, after all, he couldn't help but have his brain freeze when he first saw it.

What is this? Kill someone first, then bring them back to life? Kill them and then bring them back to life repeatedly 33550336 times?

At that moment, Xia felt complicated about the student's behavior.

I feel proud, honored, and heartbroken, yet I also want to deduct all his points...

He vowed that if Bai E were in front of him, he would teach him a lesson.

But Xia quickly composed herself.

He raised his head, his gaze sharply fixed on Yunzhi:

"What do you want to tell me?"
