Chapter 1580: Chapter 506: Taking Charge in the Face of Danger (Part 3)

How can you awaken someone who already feels indifferent to everything, believes the world can be destroyed, and sees no hope?

Li Wei’an cannot be resurrected; this has destroyed Yuan’s... last pillar to live on.

Wen Xishu fell silent once more.

He did not give up but instead contemplated all the information he had received.

Suddenly, he looked up:

"Awaken her."

Taurus was startled:

"What?"

Wen Xishu said seriously:

"Go and wake her up. If even a constellation cannot kill her, then all I can do is awaken her. I’ve thought about it carefully, and it’s possible."

Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Wen Xishu thought of this child.

In the family of four back then, Yuan, Zhou Xiaoxiao, Li Wei’an, and Zhou Ming, deep bonds were formed.

Li Wei’an once asked what Yuan would do if, one day, he was gone.

Yuan’s answer was to prioritize ensuring Zhou Xiaoxiao’s survival.

Wen Xishu said:

"I need to go awaken her."

Taurus looked at Wen Xishu in surprise, as if meeting him for the first time.

For a moment, he felt Wen Xishu resembled an old acquaintance.

"As far as I know, you’re not someone who likes to play the savior."

Wen Xishu said:

"Of course not, but I have to live. Everything is for the task. I have two days left, and I have to find Yuan to turn me back into a human and also dismantle Mechanical City."

Taurus said:

"Is that your real mission?"

In the current situation, if Yuan can be resolved and the power of Mechanical City lost, it’s also acceptable for Taurus. So Wen Xishu no longer hid his intentions.

"I am not interested in saving the world, but I still need to return to the Bunker. I still need to become human again."

"In terms of capability, the probability of killing Yuan is zero... I can only choose to awaken Yuan’s humanity."

"At the moment, this task is difficult but definitely the right one for me."

Taurus suddenly laughed:

"Is this how you always... make excuses for yourself?"

Wen Xishu did not answer the pointed question but instead said:

"Yuan is likely to head to Mechanical City. In her memory, it is the place with the most Divine Dawn, after all, all the Mechanical Race in the entire city can be refined into Divine Dawn."

"You have to send me there."

Taurus shook his head:

"I said I wouldn’t take the risk."

Wen Xishu was angry:

"Damn it, you’re Taurus, a special existence that can be singled out in the Three-Tower task clearance!"

"Why are you chickening out? I’m the one awakening her, not you!"

Taurus leisurely said:

"Why rush? Don’t be hasty. My death would only cause chaos for Leon... Indeed, awakening the Lord of Machinery is highly profitable. But I must admit, at this moment, she already possesses the ability to kill me."

"Moreover, our authority in the Three Towers is different from reality, and this time, you are not in the traditional sense of tower climbing. Do you understand? You accepted an invitation task that doesn’t belong to you, which means you’ve truly arrived at the Three-Tower Battlefield."

"Especially since your connection with Deceit Tower is very fragile because you are not even human right now. Besides, my authority in this matter wasn’t strong to begin with. Scorpio is better at this."

Wen Xishu was speechless:

"Your talent for sophistry rivals mine. People say Taurus men are stingy. For others, I don’t believe it, but for you, it’s true. Hearing you, I even feel that I shouldn’t ask you for any help."

Taurus said:

"Did I say I wouldn’t help you? If you can awaken her, you will be helping me patch up a hole I made. I will naturally help you."

"The Path of Mist will guide you; you will return to Mechanical City in an extremely short time."

"Also, my golden armor can withstand part of the attacks from the Lord of Machinery, and I will temporarily lend it to you."

"Of course, along with a part of my strength. This will make me weaker, and if you successfully become human again, this strength will eventually return to me."

"But if you die, I will permanently lose a part of my power. Additionally, for other non-Human Race factions, I will issue commands for them to dispatch some of their forces to Mechanical City to obey you."

"If they perish in battle, my forces will be greatly reduced as well, because I will only be dispatching the elite."

"Consider it a bet placed under you."

"Given your track record in the Deceit Tower, you seem good at persuading them. I’ll trust you this time."

It must be said that Taurus’s help was quite substantial. But what he faced was an existence stronger than a constellation, so these aids seemed somewhat meaningless.

Taurus suddenly became serious:

"Wen Xishu, the enemy is indeed too powerful and time is pressing. I’m counting on you this time."

Taurus indeed never expected things to reach this point.

Originally, Wen Xishu was supposed to be enslaved by him, but now, everything has become uncertain.

In fact, given the current power of the Lord of Machinery, these aids might only improve Wen Xishu’s success rate by less than one percent.

But inexplicably, Taurus had a sense of confidence in Wen Xishu.

It’s as if this person came into this world specifically to solve such problems.

This really was a very strange feeling

Wen Xishu thought carefully about it. He began to ponder the current situation and soon looked up:

"By the way, you have to help me catch someone first. Well, not catch, rather, turn. He should still be in Mechanical City, Asdoku the Zeroer, who always participated in the past transport of Divine Dawn."

"He knows many secrets about the Lord of Machinery."

Taurus said:

"That can be arranged. He will soon come to see you."
