The Pointy-Hatted Lady Became Emperor III!

Douluo I World.

Sunset Forest.

Yu Xiaogang protested indignantly:

"Isn't the Sky Curtain exaggerating a bit?"

He felt it was overstating Black Swan's role.

But Yu Xiaogang had to admit that Black Swan had been there for every major event.

So what?

If fate was fixed, Amphoreus was destined to be saved!

Even without Black Swan, there would have been a white swan!

Meanwhile, inside Phainon's Clothing Store.

Di Tian held the yellow-and-purple clothes he was taking to the Ferocious Beasts, curiosity stirring in his heart.

He wanted to see what would happen to the Aeon Universe if Black Swan had not intervened.

The Stellaron Sprite was curious too:

"If we hadn't gone to Amphoreus, would some other chance have led to its salvation?"

Though she had helped save Amphoreus, she did not think the Astral Express was the only answer.

Phainon listened to the Stellaron Sprite, then looked at everyone's expressions and reactions. He could not help sighing inwardly.

They were still underestimating Black Swan's role.

And the Astral Express's role too.

The Sky Curtain continued, laying out one possibility:

[If the Astral Express had gone to the ocean planet Lushaka, the Nameless would have had an uneventful adventure.]

Seeing how a trip to another planet would have begun.

The people of Douluo Continent exclaimed:

"At least they wouldn't crash right at the start!"

"And no one would get frozen solid!"

"That would be a good thing for the Astral Express, wouldn't it?"

Everyone on Douluo Continent thought so.

Yet at the sight of it.

The Stellaron Sprite could not help feeling disappointed.

"An uneventful adventure? That doesn't sound exciting at all."

Phainon only smiled and said nothing.

The next scene would probably leave the Stellaron Sprite stunned.

[The Garden of Recollection let Amphoreus's secret out, but Herta paid the price.]

[In the worst fate, the Genius fell before her time and embarked on a blood-soaked campaign under the name "Emperor III."]

What???

The Sky Curtain showed them an Iron Tomb wearing Ms. Herta's face!

Goosebumps rose all over everyone's bodies!

What was that thing?

Compared to the original Iron Curtain, this version with Ms. Herta's face lacked that immediate, icy chill!

But it had gained a strange, inexplicable beauty!

Its overwhelming pressure and terror remained!

A tuft of grey hair stood straight up on the Stellaron Sprite's head. She cried out in disbelief:

"The great Pointy-Hatted Lady turned into that?"

Little Grey Hair simply could not believe it!

The Pointy-Hatted Lady was a Genius!

How could she fall so easily?

Ever since Little Grey Hair had awakened on Herta Space Station, Herta's puppets had accompanied her along the way, occasionally calling her over to test the Simulated Universe.

Though Ms. Herta herself seemed aloof and proud, with a flat chest.

She had been very kind to them.

Sometimes they could even glimpse her Tsundere side!

And her sense of responsibility!

When they were trapped on Amphoreus, Ms. Herta had done her utmost to rescue them!

When they faced Iron Tomb, Ms. Herta had stepped forward without hesitation!

That was Ms. Herta—beautiful and kind, lovely enough to make fish sink and wild geese fall, unmatched beneath the heavens!

And she had fallen!

The Stellaron Sprite could not accept it.

She looked at Phainon. "This has to be fake, right?"

Phainon shook his head gravely. "It should be one branch the future could have taken. It just never happened."

Everyone froze at his words.

So Black Swan's quick thinking had actually prevented that future!

The Stellaron Sprite kept watching as the Sky Curtain revealed the next possible future.

[On the Agate World, the Point of Origin of the Star River, the Express would pass Celenova by.]

[But on the other side of the Galaxy, the Xianzhou Alliance would turn away from Trailblaze and return to its original ending, witnessing the ascension of the Eighth Lord Ravager, whose beating wings would sound the prelude to the War of the Gods.]

People across Douluo's many times and places were shaken.

"Celenova!"

"Another Lord Ravager?"

"Why does it feel like Lord Ravagers are everywhere?"

"Who is that cold-faced swordswoman, to be able to ascend to a Lord Ravager?"

"And she even sparks a War of the Gods?"

None of them thought that ending sounded good either!

A War of the Gods!

It sounded even more terrifying than the battle on Amphoreus!

At least the Aeons had not personally entered that battle.

Aeons were beings far beyond the God Kings of the Douluo God Realm.

"If they fight, won't the universe be destroyed?"

"I wonder if our Douluo Universe would survive?"

"So we should thank Black Swan after all?"

The Douluo God Realm.

God King Tang San looked at the timeline of the War of the Gods and sighed inwardly:

"That is a true war between gods."

"But whatever happens, at least the Sky Curtain stopped the war in our Divine Realm."

When Ma Hongjun saw the Lord Ravager standing opposite Yaoshi, the Aeon of the Path of Abundance, a tremor ran through his heart.

He quickly shook his head.

Then he said:

"Ever since the Destruction God King saw how powerful the Aeon Universe is, he seems to have settled down quite a bit."

"It does seem that way," Bai Chenxiang said.

Tang San frowned. "I feel like Destruction is still plotting something."

Outside Phainon's Clothing Store.

A figure who looked like a boy, wearing a purple hood, watched the Sky Curtain and blushed.

He had once tried to start a War of the Gods and seize control of the Divine Realm so he could expand it.

Now, compared to the Aeon Universe, everything he had done seemed like petty tricks.

And he had been brooding over his failed plan!

How narrow-minded he had been!

Why was the life force of that woman in white on the Sky Curtain so much stronger than Xiao Lu's?

Was that what an Aeon of the Path of Abundance was like?

Xiao Zi frowned.

The Aeon Universe was too powerful. If he and Xiao Lu wanted to grow stronger, learning from it was inevitable!

Inside Phainon's Clothing Store.

Everyone was stunned too.

"Jingliu became a Lord Ravager?"

"And she's throwing elbows with Yaoshi?"

The Stellaron Sprite was astonished.

She had never really met Jingliu.

But her little buddy Dingdong 7's teacher was Yanqing.

And Jing Yuan was Yanqing's teacher!

Jingliu was Jing Yuan's teacher!

By that reckoning, Jingliu was March 7th's martial great-grandmaster!

She had never expected Jingliu to go that far.

More importantly, Divine General Jing Yuan, the man she knew for leaving nothing to chance, seemed to be in trouble too.

Jingliu's Mighty Spirit and weapon both looked far too much like Jing Yuan's.

Had things gone badly for the Xianzhou in that timeline? Had Jing Yuan died too?

On the other side.

Phainon gave the Stellaron Sprite a look that said, See, partner? You owe Ms. Black Swan your thanks.

The Stellaron Sprite looked utterly defeated. I get it, partner.

Seeing their expressions reversed from before.

Qian Renxue held back a laugh.

Di Tian was puzzled too.

If Black Swan gets such a shining moment later!

Doesn't that mean that, even though I was unlucky at first, I'll eventually get a shining moment too?

With that hope, Di Tian kept watching.
