Chapter 266 Welcome to "Our" Story...
On the Douluo Continent, an unprecedented historical scene unfolded.
The atmosphere across the entire continent became tense and restless, mirroring the scene in the sky.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the endless cycle of reincarnation continues.
Even though the originally brilliant divine light in the sky had been greatly reduced and dimmed.
The repetitive scene continued day after day without any change.
The same fighting and flashback scenes over and over again made many people drowsy and mentally exhausted.
Even the most obsessed fans of extraterrestrial stories who never stop following updates.
At this moment, it also became very anxious, frequently sighing and lamenting at the sky.
Staring at unchanging, unoriginal images for extended periods of time.
Anyone would feel incredibly frustrated and bored, their patience gradually worn away.
And this happened in the Douluo Continent in just one or two days.
People on the mainland had already become impatient, and complaints filled the streets and alleys.
No one dared to imagine what lay deep within Laigushi's consciousness.
This cycle has been repeated tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of times.
At least several hundred years have passed—
What a terrifying and mentally torturous experience that must have been.
Finally, the scene shifts to a void space outside of mythology.
A huge holographic screen floated in the air, playing the same recurring image on a loop.
A completely black hand slowly rose and gently snapped its fingers.
The looping image in front of me froze instantly.
The screen suddenly went blank, and a prominent pause button slowly appeared in the center.
This long, endless cycle that tormented countless people was brought to a halt.
At the same time, a light and soft laugh echoed in the empty air.
The laughter was crisp and melodious, carrying a touch of liveliness and joy.
The people in front of the canopy were very familiar with the voice; it was Xi Lian's voice.
The next second, the scene in the sky suddenly changed, no longer a repetitive cycle.
As the black hand descended, Laigushi slowly took a step forward.
His posture was upright but he looked tired, leaving only a lonely silhouette in front of the camera.
He looked up at the huge white screen in front of him.
He breathed heavily, his aura clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
"This applies to any play..."
Behind Lai Gushi, Xi Lian stood with her hands behind her back, her movements light and agile.
With her bright little eyes squinted, her tone was cheerful and relaxed.
When Lai Gushi slowly turned his head, his gaze was heavy as he looked at Xi Lian behind him.
Xi Lian's body instantly transformed into countless luminous cube particles formed from data.
The particles scattered and flew everywhere, disappearing into thin air in their original positions.
The next second, her figure appeared directly in front of Lai Gu Shi.
"Once they step onto the stage..."
"It would be difficult to return to the audience."
Immediately afterwards, Xi Lian mischievously changed positions several times.
The figure appeared and disappeared in the void, moving like a nimble point of light.
Finally, she stood side by side with Lai Gushi, looking together at the huge white screen that had been paused in front of them.
She gently curved the corners of her lips into a sweet and healing smile, and slowly began to speak.
Welcome to "our" story...
How are you feeling?
When she said her last sentence, Xi Lian slightly raised her head.
His gaze was clear, as if piercing through the sky, looking down at all the Douluo Continent fans watching the screen.
She even winked playfully, her little face full of liveliness.
That adorable and heartwarming appearance instantly made everyone on the mainland feel overjoyed.
All the previous fatigue and irritability vanished in that moment.
What delighted everyone even more was that Xi Lian could laugh so heartily and easily.
She was naturally gentle and healing, even in the darkest and most desperate times.
It can also warm the hearts of everyone around you who is suffering with its smile.
The fact that she was smiling so freely at this moment was enough to prove that their plan had been a complete success.
Through this endless cycle of reincarnation, they successfully sealed away the unscrewed inner core of the Laigushi.
He was completely kicked out of Onfaros' core area, cutting off his control over the interior.
This means that Lycus is no longer able to interfere in any affairs within Onphalus.
They were even less able to cross space to snatch the World-Burning Flame from Little Gray Hair's hands.
Nothing could stop Little Gray from starting his re-creation journey!
Lai Gushi immediately lowered his head and fell into deep thought, his aura calm as he rapidly deduced everything.
In just a moment, he saw through the truth behind the entire scheme.
He clearly sensed that Xi Lian had used the power of memory.
Memories were implanted in his inspiration circuits, which is why he is trapped in an endless cycle from which he cannot escape.
They can see through all tactics and strategies in an instant.
This is enough to prove that this first-generation genius is truly deserving of his title and is by no means undeserved.
Upon seeing this, Xi Lian first praised Lai Gushi, the first genius of the Genius Club, in a low voice.
Then he changed the subject, speaking in a gentle yet sharp tone.
He subtly issued a threat to him without making a sound.
She admitted that the scene of reincarnation she just witnessed could still play out endlessly in Lai Gushi's mind at any time.
Even after another defeat, Rikushi maintained his deep-seated pride.
He stood upright, his eyes indifferent, showing no sign of defeat or embarrassment.
He was certain that all he needed to do was wait patiently.
No matter how many times those memories repeat in his mind, he will never suffer a mental breakdown.
He firmly believed that Xi Lian and Xiao Hui Mao would be the first to give in and collapse.
Indeed, this is true; Legos is trapped in the same cycle millions of times.
They endured endless repetition, pain, and mental anguish.
The little gray-haired boy who can keep writing recurring storylines and exhausting his mind.
And Xi Lian, who personally participates in and maintains the cycle of reincarnation, is also constantly having her mind and spirit worn down.
If this continues, they will eventually break down completely and be unable to hold on any longer.
All that Riguru had to do was wait quietly and remain silent.
Once the two are completely broken down, he can win without a fight and easily turn the tide.
Just like back then, when he was imprisoned by the three of them, Na Ke Xia, Sai Fei Er, and Hai Se Yin.
All he needs to do is rely on his long lifespan and wait patiently.
One day I will break free from all the cages and take control of the whole situation.
Even without Little Grey's return, Heather could use illusions to hypnotize herself and hold on for a thousand years.
But what if it's ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or even a hundred million years?
Hazel was, after all, made of flesh and blood; her soul and will had their limits.
It is simply impossible to sustain such a long period of time, spanning hundreds of millions of years.
But the ancients possessed an endless lifespan and resilience far exceeding that of ordinary people.
This is enough time to wait until everything settles down and the opponent collapses on their own.
As a member of the genius club, no one understands genius better than a genius.
In order to slay the Star God and put his ideals into practice, Rigus did so.
His determination far surpasses that of ordinary people; he is tenacious and has an iron will.
But the geniuses from beyond the heavens had already anticipated this and had prepared a backup plan long ago.
Immediately afterwards, Xi Lian raised her hand and waved.
The projections of the Great Black Tower and Screw Gum were directly summoned into this void space.
Laigu Shi looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared, his eyes full of confusion and his brows furrowed slightly.
He was quite certain that the two of them did not have the corresponding authority and could not possibly have entered this area outside of the myth.
The dialogue between top geniuses is devoid of unnecessary words, and is always filled with the clash of ideas and the sharing of concepts.
Before Lai Gushi could ask any further questions, Screw Gum stepped forward.
His tone was calm and even as he clearly explained the reason to the ancient scholar.
With the help of Xi Lian's memories and the power of harmonious modulation, they crossed the spatial barrier and arrived here as if in a dream.
Just like the people of Pinocchio, who reach their own dreamland through dreams.
Immediately following, an exciting and subtly turbulent intellectual exchange officially began.
At this moment, they possess the ability to fight on two fronts and hold absolute initiative.
They are on Xi Lian's side.
Big Black Tower curled his lips into a smug smile, his small face full of confidence and cunning.
His gaze swept over the calm-faced Lai Gushi, and he was confident of victory.
The next second, she took a deep breath, her voice echoing across endless space.
It was clearly transmitted into Onpharos's interior and into the ears of the little gray-haired boy.
"Go, little one, reverse the 'Recreation'—!"
