“Klein looks small, but she has actually lived for a very long time,” Alicia replied with a smile. “In fact, Klein is the only living being in the Paradise of the Past, besides the Trialers.”
"Living thing?"
Delta keenly noticed the key words, and the doubt between her brows deepened.
"Klein was once Möbius's assistant, and later died in a... disaster."
"After that disaster, Mebius created an 'armed doll' modeled after Klein and put it in charge of maintaining the normal operation of the Paradise of the Past."
Alicia offered a casual explanation, as if it were just a very ordinary matter.
Compared to the near-total annihilation of previous civilizations, this is indeed a "very ordinary" thing.
Delta remained silent, lost in thought.
Through Alicia's brief account, she roughly learned about the years Klein had lived through.
—Tens of thousands.
"Can we enter the Trial Grounds normally now?"
Delta subtly changed the subject, while glancing at the floating purple doorway.
Alicia realized that Delta was trying to change the subject, but she didn't expose Delta. Instead, she continued to follow Delta's lead.
"That's right. Delta, aren't you really going to take a rest?"
"No need. My strength is too weak, I don't deserve to rest."
Delta shook her head, then got up and walked towards the purple door, entering the trial grounds once again.
In an instant, only Alicia and Eden remained in the Paradise of the Past.
……
Fog Sea Manor.
That night.
The stars dotted the night sky, creating a magnificent and dreamlike starry landscape.
Under such a beautiful night view, everyone gathered on the beach, setting up grills or preparing ingredients, to make plans for the barbecue party that would follow.
The parasols had all been folded down, allowing the four ladies reclining on the sun loungers to gaze up at the beautiful night sky.
"Jana, I remember you came to Earth from another star system, right?"
Wendy gently stroked her lower abdomen while gazing at the beautiful and dreamy starry sky.
Janna's actions were similar to Wendy's, both gently stroking her lower abdomen.
“That’s right, I come from the Centaur Galaxy, specifically to find the Herald of the End.”
"So—do 'people from beyond the heavens' really exist?"
"Wendy, aren't I the 'otherworldly being' you mentioned?"
"That's true. There should be opportunities to meet other 'people from beyond the heavens' in the future, right?"
"Yes, we'll encounter 'people from beyond the heavens' sooner or later. After all, 'Honkai' is no longer a difficulty for us."
Janna smiled slightly, pursing her lips.
Upon hearing this, Wendy stopped asking about the matter and instead looked around.
"Huh? Where's Qiu Bi?"
“I just saw Qi Luo sneakily pulling Qiu Bi away, heading in what seemed to be… the reef where Qi Luo sang during the day.”
Alexandra spoke up at the right moment, pointing out Qiu Bi's whereabouts to everyone.
Immediately, all four ladies looked toward the reef.
Sofia and Alexandra couldn't see through the darkness and couldn't make out the situation on the reef, but Janna and Wendy could easily see through the darkness and know the current situation of Shigure Kira and Qiu Bi.
—Shiyu Kira has transformed into a philandering cat, secretly "cheating" on the other ladies.

Chapter 246 Alicia: "You have eight more wives as lovely as these?!"
Take Delta as an example. If it weren't for Janna helping to make up for her physical defects, she might still be suffering from endless hunger.
Living in a state of perpetual hunger for an extended period, no matter how strong one's will, will ultimately lead to mental breakdown.
If a being similar to Delta truly existed in the previous generation, unless that person could firmly believe in fighting the Honkai, they would succumb to an endless hunger and then turn around and attack humanity.
Sometimes, potential often represents the "level of danger".
Delta's constitution has extremely high potential, which also means that if it gets out of control, it will pose a great threat to humanity.
“Hmm~ You’re right~” Alicia nodded in agreement. “If someone like you really appeared, my… the fate of heroes would probably be different.”
Upon hearing this, Delta stared at Alicia with a puzzled look for a few seconds, then stopped thinking about it and got up to walk towards the purple door.
"Oh dear, Delta, aren't you going to take a break?"
"no need."
Delta continued walking resolutely toward the purple door without stopping.
Before she could even enter the trial grounds, a purple void quietly opened up, and then Xilin stepped out of the purple void with light steps.
"Good afternoon, Sister Alicia and Delta!"
Sirin greeted the two with a light laugh, then ran and jumped into Alicia's arms.
"Sister Alicia, it's been five days. Did you miss me?"
"Of course~ Sirin is such a cute and beautiful girl, how could I not miss you?"
Alicia hugged Sirin and gently pinched Sirin's cheek.
At the same time, Angeline slowly left the purple void, glanced silently at Alicia and Sirin, and then walked towards another deserted corner.
Alicia and Sirin were snuggling together on the fabric sofa, which was clearly not a suitable place for her to concentrate on reading.
Qiu Bi led Bella away from the purple void, while simultaneously massaging her lower back to try and relieve the soreness.
Perhaps knowing that Qiu Bi wouldn't be returning to Fogsea Manor for some time, Cecilia, Lady Hilfalia, Bella, Shigure Kira, and Yae Sakura made particularly intense demands, almost always seeking out Qiu Bi to "do it" whenever they had free time.
Even if Qiu Bi's physique was sufficient to satisfy all the ladies, he could not withstand such intense demands.
If Qiu Bi hadn't been physically strong, the symptoms at this point would have been much more than just lower back pain.
"Welcome back, teacher!"
Upon seeing Qiu Bi and the others return to the Paradise of the Past, Delta immediately abandoned the idea of entering the Trial Grounds.
Compared to continuing to enter the Trial Grounds to improve their strength, it is obviously more important to accompany Qiu Bi.
"Well, you have worked hard during this period."
Qiu Bi reached out and stroked Delta's hair, his gaze softening considerably.
Although Delta's appearance did not change much, her temperament underwent a dramatic transformation.
If Delta still retained a touch of girlish naiveté in the past, then the current Delta has completely shed that naiveté and become a qualified "warrior".
"Teacher, my strength has greatly improved, and with a bit of luck, I should be able to pass the Trial Grounds smoothly."
Delta grinned, her brows furrowed with pride and confidence.
True.
The difficulty of the Trial Grounds has been greatly increased.
However, risks and opportunities often go hand in hand.
With the help of those enhanced Honkai Beasts, Delta successfully improved all her forms, becoming more than twice as strong as before.
Furthermore, through this period of constant resurrection, Delta has become fully accustomed to death.
If nothing unexpected happens, even if Delta were to die in reality, there is a high probability that she could be resurrected.
As for why it's uncertain whether one can be resurrected...
Delta only vaguely knew that she could "come back to life," but she had never actually tried it, so she could not give a definite conclusion.
"...Your strength has indeed undergone a tremendous change."
Qiu Bi was somewhat moved.
When he left, Delta possessed extremely strong vitality, almost immortal, but the possibility of death still existed.
Now that Delta has evolved a seemingly "resurrected" ability, she has undoubtedly freed herself from the shadow of "death."
Upon hearing Qiu Bi's praise, Delta immediately broke into a silly grin.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Bi chuckled and then led Bella toward the purple door.
Before entering the Land of Rebirth, Qiu Bi told Bella about its general situation so that she wouldn't be at a loss.
"Qiu Bi, is this the entrance to the Trial Grounds?"
"Ah."
Qiu Bi responded lightly, then looked at Alicia who was walking this way.
After their eyes met, Alicia suddenly broke into a radiant smile.
"Oh my, who is this lovely young lady? Qiu Bi, aren't you going to introduce her to me?"
“Bella Benalles, one of my wives.”
Qiu Bi's introduction without hesitation made Bella blush.
The second half of the sentence, in particular, made Bella feel both shy and sweet, like she had eaten a honey date.
"One of your wives?" Alicia looked at Bella with a puzzled expression, then asked curiously, "How many wives do you have in total?"
"...Nine."
