The door was ajar.
It turned out that those gods, who seemed omnipotent throughout the Three Towers, could also fall to dust and be compelled to join forces with humans.
Watching Wen Xishu shake hands with Sagittarius, Albert felt a bit emotional.
This battle was not easy, but the gains were significant. After this battle, the constellations were no longer unshakable to him.
Within the Three Towers, they were just higher-level NPCs.
Albert was quite pleased that Old Jin found the Bunker, enabling humans to enhance themselves through Slaughter, Deceit, and Desire.
From this perspective alone, human advancement even surpassed the monsters of the Three Towers War, and even the constellations.
It could be said that Old Jin found the most correct answer.
During a conversation with Sagittarius, Old Jin suddenly understood everything. It felt as if he was entrusted with a mission.
And Xiaojin's birth, Xiaojin's ability to emulate the constellations… it all seemed related to the Heart of Fusion.
The Heart of Fusion is crucial to Longxia's Dragon Hide Plan. Albert couldn't understand how Old Jin's Heart of Fusion ended up with Wen Xishu.
The reason for Old Jin's departure was also a mystery.
Albert longed to clarify all of this, but he thought only Wen Xishu could provide answers.
And he understood one thing—
The advent of the Three Towers and the arrival of doomsday were actually unrelated to the constellations.
Yet doomsday bestowed the constellations with authority above other creatures, allowing them to plan ahead.
However, these constellations were, after all, just a group of young people, even a group of kids at the time.
Their plans lacked a system, and coupled with the Companion Curse requiring them to kill each other to become gods, they couldn't unite, unable to combine their authority to face the doomsday.
This also resulted in the current Three Towers War being more like a constellation war.
From his own climb of the towers, and the feedback from Wen Xishu's climb, it seemed gaining favor with the constellations was most important.
But everything was just an appearance.
Clearly, the cause of the doomsday's arrival was a higher-dimensional existence.
Perhaps humans turning into monsters was, in essence, evolution, to deal with those existences.
"I should leave now," Sagittarius spoke.
"I will conceal everything that happened today, and I hope you can keep it a secret as well."
Being defeated by humans was, naturally, embarrassing.
Sagittarius knew well the strength of Albert's fist and the miracles within Wen Xishu.
But others didn't know.
There were also meetings among constellations, and he didn't want to endure too much humiliation.
Wen Xishu suddenly asked:
"Do you know my brother… Wen Chaohua? Logically, you handle the trespassers, Capricorn does the crossing, and you two have a good relationship, so maybe you know?"
Sagittarius shook his head:
"Never heard of him."
Wen Xishu felt something amiss:
"But you once locked onto me when I tried to summon him."
Sagittarius suddenly fell silent.
He carefully looked at Wen Xishu, as if shocked by something in Wen Xishu once again.
Sagittarius actually recalled not long ago that this wasn't his first attempt to shoot Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu also looked at Sagittarius:
"Why aren't you speaking?"
Sagittarius shook his head and said:
"I forgot."
"Shot too many people, forgot?"
"Yes, I forgot."
"You're not lying to me?"
"Since our destinies resonate, even if I deceive you, it's for your own good… Besides, I'm not lying. I forgot."
Sagittarius's heart was also quite surprised, but he stuck to his answer—he forgot.
Having decided to cooperate with Sagittarius, Wen Xishu didn't delve too deeply. It seemed he would have to increase his Anti-Magic Value and explore the Wen Family's Old Mansion himself to uncover Wen Chaohua's secret.
"Finally, if I encounter an enemy in the Deceit Tower in the future, can you help me? Maybe with an arrow from the heavens."
Wen Xishu didn't actually expect anything. But, surprisingly, Sagittarius nodded.
"Really can?"
"Of course, I can."
"But specifically, you'll have to ask the guide. They will tell you the details, how to use it." Sagittarius seemed really anxious to return.
It was as if he sensed someone else crossing the boundary.
Wen Xishu still wanted to ask if there was any slogan among the constellations to intimidate the guide… but Sagittarius's body was already beginning to become ethereal.
He was about to return to his Chaos Domain.
There, he is an almost invincible existence.
Albert, in this moment, still had some concern, as beating Sagittarius was due to extinguishing his advantage.
If they were to allow Sagittarius to return to that undetectable domain, they would be in danger.
At this moment, Sagittarius also looked at Albert:
"My fate is linked with his, I believe I will become stronger, and then, we will battle again."
Xun Hui realized this was a challenge, Sagittarius acknowledging his defeat to the old man, so he yearned to win back fairly.
This actually gave him some slight favor for Sagittarius.
After all, it seemed Sagittarius still had an arrow that wasn't shot, yet he didn't deny the fact of his defeat.
"The treaty has been dissolved. Consider it my goodwill."
This was the last sentence Sagittarius left behind.
Then, Sagittarius vanished.
For Wen Xishu and Albert, this journey had also come to an end.
Albert had no interest in slaughtering small monsters in this Slaughter Tower. He said:
"It's not enough, speaking of which, we haven't had the chance to ask about his ranking among the constellations."
