—Iron Dimension—

Before Xia Xiang even entered the room, the voice of the Gun Spirit King came over.

"They're here, come on over." After the Gun Spirit King finished speaking, a row of familiar faces walked out from behind her, some with cold faces, some with smiles, and some angrily turning their heads away, all looking at her as if she were a naughty child.

Yuheng and Yingxi stations are quite far apart, with a group of people sandwiched in between...

"Oh, which brat is this? She doesn't even greet her older sister first," said Lin Shuang.

"Hello, sister," Xia Xiang said calmly, but her heart felt heavy, as if it were stuffed with cotton.

But those people didn't treat themselves as outsiders at all; they treated Xia Xiang like a rare doll, with one person reaching out to pinch her and another poking her.

Xia Xiang: (〝▼Pan▼)

"Stop teasing her, she's shy around strangers now." Xuan Ming slapped away the groping hands of the group and shielded Xia Xiang behind him.

Everyone: ...

"So this is what Ah Ying looks like at eighteen. Actually, she and Xuan Ming are quite a good match." Qing Wei said teasingly, seeing Xuan Ming protecting her so tightly. "But if you had kept a closer eye on her, that bastard wouldn't have snatched her away."

Yingxi quickly covered Qingwei's face and gave her an awkward smile.

"Ugh~" Qingwei broke free. "Strange, I haven't even said anything to you yet."

“Ying Xiaoxi, I haven’t even said anything about you yet. What’s going on between you and Yu Heng? It’s like there’s an ocean between you two.”

Yu Heng, Ying Xi: ...

Actually, Qingwei's outburst eased the atmosphere considerably, dispelling the feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness.

"Alright," the Gun Spirit King said, and the others quieted down as well.

"I'm here today to solicit everyone's opinions." Gun Spirit King walked all the way to the innermost part, and everyone's eyes followed his figure to a wall.

"This is the legendary God-Slaying Formation. Let's take a look."

Now everyone's attention returned to Xia Xiang's face.

"No," Xia Xiang said with an extremely ugly expression. "I don't care what my opinion was before, it's not okay now."

What on earth are they doing?! What was Xia Xiang doing before? And now?

The God-Slaying Formation also marks the position of each person, which is completely different from the previous version.

"You can't beat him by yourself," Gun Spirit King said confidently. "Although we are all old, weak, sick, and disabled, we are still much stronger than the average person."

“I think I’m not doing this entirely because of you. We are also in this universe, and naturally we also have to bear the responsibility for the survival of the universe.”

Everyone fell silent. From the moment they saw the God-Slaying Formation, they knew their future fate, but they would not refuse it now.

Because they, too, have gone through countless hardships and difficulties from various places in the twelve timelines to regain their strength and memories.

Xia Xiang fell silent after hearing this. She glanced at the God-Slaying Array again and found that her name was not on it. She swallowed the bitterness in her throat and said, "I have my own plans, which have nothing to do with you."

After saying that, without looking at their expressions, he turned and left.

She can sacrifice herself, but she cannot sacrifice them, absolutely not!

Before she had taken two steps, she bumped into Jiuwu, who was walking happily towards her.

"Excuse me, Jiuwu, what are you doing here?" Xia Xiang asked Jiuwu, who was rubbing his buttocks in a completely unseemly manner.

"My lovely lady, it was I who fell down, why are you crying instead?" Jiu Wu looked up and saw a girl looking at him with red eyes.

Xia Xiang paused, her outstretched hand loosening its grip on his arm, and shoved him to the ground before leaving with a grim expression.

Jiuwu: What's wrong with me...?

"Master, do you know that girl who just went out?" Jiu Wu asked with some confusion when Shen Xingzhe arrived.

"My old friend's sister," the Swift Walker replied evasively. "You go in first, I have to go out for a bit."

He left in a hurry after saying that.

"Xiangxiang! Come back!" the Swift Walker shouted.

"Master," Xia Xiang stopped and called out softly.
