Nian shook his head and said, "The world is dangerous. Xixi is too naive and can be easily deceived."
Xi's expression was cold: "Every time I go out, you drag me out by force. I don't want to go out at all."
Nian said, "Do you think you can stay at home forever?"
"Of course, the cabin is the safest place; nothing will ever happen there."
Xi's words left Nian speechless, and she quickly ended the conversation:
"Anyway, it's for your own good. By the way, I don't eat breakfast. I ate too much last night and I'm not hungry at all."
"To be honest, that's a bit of a waste."
Luo Zhen said, "Interested in becoming my familiar? You can become stronger."
"Even if I can't become stronger, I don't mind."
Having regained some strength, he patted his chest and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Luo Zhen thrust his hand into her lower abdomen, and a blazing holy mark took shape. Almost instantly, intense flames erupted from Nian's body, several times stronger than before.
The divine grace that was poured into her body last night was quickly digested with the help of the Holy Mark, unlocking her innate potential and making her stronger.
"The flames are stronger now."
Looking at his hands, he thought, "Not only that, but my forging skills also seem to have improved."
Heaven has a great furnace, earth produces five metals, their brilliance smelted and their cold tempered, illuminating the clear clouds.
Her mastery of the craft is "casting," and her actual power is "formation." In terms of forging techniques, she stands at the pinnacle of the Terra continent. As long as she doesn't reveal the technology of her previous civilization, she is the pinnacle of forging.
Forging ability isn't as intuitive as flames; she just feels stronger, but whether she's truly stronger still needs further investigation.
"I'll go and look into the new inspiration."
She left in a whirlwind. That's how she was back then—carefree, very outgoing, doing whatever came to mind, and very straightforward.
"so good."
The firelight of the year was reflected in Xi's eyes. She turned to Luo Zhen and said, "I want to become stronger too. Is it enough for you to just poke me with your hand?"
She doesn't mind becoming Rōzō's dependent, believing that the hut is the safest place to entrust her with the task because she trusts Rōzō completely and believes that he won't harm her.
"Simply becoming a member of the family will only increase strength to a limited extent; one still needs divine grace."
"Divine grace?"
Seeing Xi's puzzled look, Luo Zhen said, "It's what Nian ate last night."
Xi's face flushed: "Do I need to eat those?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be eaten with your mouth; you can eat it anywhere."
Luo Zhen said, "If you want to become stronger, you need nutrients, right? The Holy Mark can digest and absorb my life essence at the fastest speed."
“In addition, I can also give you the power I possess to strengthen you, but your ability is ‘will’, which I do not yet have.”
Luo Zhen's flames and projection magic could significantly enhance Nian, but Nian herself preferred the forging process. Whether it was projection or creation, it skipped the process and went straight to the result, which didn't suit Nian's taste, so Luo Zhen didn't give it to her.
"This……"
Xi hesitated, but Luo Zhen didn't press her. Xi clearly had the personality of an artistic girl, so she couldn't be too direct and had to take it slowly.
"However, you can also work on mechs."
Luo Zhen offered a reasonable suggestion: "For example, the Sui Beast's corpse is intact. You can try to ride Sui's body and beat up Nian."
He transformed Yuya into a familiar: "In this way, you won't be assimilated by Sui. I've already repaired its body, and it will be placed in Mebius's laboratory. She will study the corpses, and you will control them. Once you're skilled, go and beat up Sui."
As a fragment of time, it might be absorbed back into the body of the deceased while the deceased is alive. Now that the deceased is dead, it is possible for the fragment of time to reside in the body of the deceased.
Luo Zhen subconsciously thought that Ye Fan's minor Saint Body entered the green-haired major Saint Body to pilot a mecha, and Xi's behavior was similar in principle.
Xi's eyes lit up: "That's right, if I can't beat Nian, how could Sui not beat Nian?"
Having observed the previous battle, she noticed that Sui Guang possessed strong physical resistance, and the flames of the year could not break through her defenses.
When she transforms into the Super Great Xi King, she can shatter into pieces with a single punch. Perhaps even her eldest brother Shuo won't be a match for her!
XiXi rises!
Bringing Xi and the body of the Sui Beast to Mebius's laboratory, the little snake's eyes gleamed with interest as it looked at the enormous Sui Beast's body.
"Another new behemoth, a dragon-shaped behemoth at that. It's a new research direction, and maybe it can be added to my research."
Luo Zhen sensed a strong Honkai energy aura emanating from her. Clearly, Mebius was no longer a being made of Soul Steel, but of flesh and blood.
"You've already created a new body for yourself? I thought you were going to wait until it was more perfect before you started."
Möbius shook his head: "Superior genes are inexhaustible and impossible to exhaust. Trying to absorb the advantages of all organisms should not be done on the operating table, but during the evolutionary process."
"I just need to establish a good framework so that my body is full of possibilities and can continue to evolve."
"I injected a large amount of Honkai energy into Haisi's genes to induce its evolution, and then fused it with Shesa's genes to create this most promising gene."
Sea creatures can continuously evolve according to their environment, but they can die. They evolve quickly because they have a swarm-like mentality, a large-scale interconnected mentality. The death of each Sea creature induces other living Sea creatures to evolve.
Mebius is an extremely self-centered person who has no interest in connecting with large groups, whether they are existing Haisi groups or self-created Haisi groups.
Shesa's ability to be resurrected is a perfect match for Haisi's ability to adapt to the environment and attacks and evolve rapidly.
"No, where did you get Shesa genes from?"
Luo Zhen discovered the blind spot: Shesa was a Honkai Beast that existed in the pre-Honkai civilization before Honkai Impact 3rd, and it didn't exist in the current civilization at all. Luo Zhen also didn't give her permission to go to the pre-Honkai civilization before Honkai Impact 3rd.
“I asked Alicia to get it for me.”
"Unfortunately, that guy still found out and traded it for Haisi genes," Mebius said.
Luo Zhen understood. The two time periods of Alicia were exchanging information: one helped the little snake obtain the Shesha gene, and the other helped the big Qiao snake obtain the Haizi gene.
"In other words, you're all starting from the same point again."
Luo Zhen stroked his chin. "Although I won't grant you access to previous civilizations, I can grant you access to other worlds, including the Honkai Impact universe."
He didn't open it before because he was worried that the two of them would fight to the death. Now that he can jump around the Imaginary Tree at will and travel back in time to rescue people, he no longer needs to worry about that.
To be honest, Luo Zhen always felt that it would be best if the two snakes could cooperate. They had the same goal, the same abilities, and similar thinking. If they could help each other, they would definitely make rapid progress.
"Aren't you worried I'll kill her? Looks like you already have a backup plan."
Little Snake wasn't surprised. Luo Zhen was progressing very quickly, and as long as he kept working in that direction, he would definitely be able to achieve it.
But it doesn't matter. Even if she can't kill the giant snake, that guy who lacks time to mature is no match for her. She wants to prove that she is the real Mebius!
"That guy is still catching up on his studies from the previous civilization."
Mebius scoffed. Before clearing the game, the civilization was something the Great Serpent had to do. Many technologies that would only be researched later would take time to digest, even if they were directly handed over to the Great Serpent.
It's like she starts running right away, while the big snake needs to finish a test paper before running.
How could I possibly catch up with her?
"Let's go."
Mebius said, "Come with me to the Iron World. I'm very interested in the power of destiny."
When Luo Zhen led Mebius into the mansion of the Immortal Ship Luofu, they saw a familiar green figure already standing there.
The figure was a head taller than Mebius beside her, with a slender and voluptuous figure, long dark green hair cascading down like a waterfall, and a white coat that perfectly outlined her full figure.
Her long, slender legs, clad in black stockings, were visible beneath the hem of her dress. The hem swayed gently in the breeze, outlining the smooth curve from her waist to her hips, giving her an alluring, languid yet dangerous charm.
That's also Mebius, the mature and elegant Mebius from the pre-Honkai era, before her figure shrank.
Sensing the commotion, the large snake looked over. The two snakes stared at each other, their green vertical pupils revealing undisguised killing intent.
"It's really unpleasant."
The two looked each other up and down, even their expressions of disdain were exactly the same.
They had realized that the other person was very similar to themselves, both having fused with Shesa using Honkai energy to induce the Haizi gene.
The only difference lies in the other genes. The small snake incorporates some of the local dragon-snake genes from Terra, while the large snake incorporates the hybrid genes from the world of Toyokawa Shoko.
At this moment, the little snake keenly sensed the changes within herself, as if a gaze was descending upon her, and her body and spirit began to be strengthened.
The physical activity increases dramatically, the mind becomes more active, and the computing ability is enhanced by leaps and bounds.
She embarked on her destiny.
Chapter 144 The Limits of Knowledge / Shedding the Snake Skin, Ascending to Dragon!
As expected, he embarked on his destiny.
Looking at the imaginary energy swirling around the little snake, Luo Zhen, unsurprisingly, recognized it as possessing the same intelligence and immortality as the giant snake.
He deeply felt that it was the environment of Honkai Impact 3rd that hindered Möbius's development. Otherwise, with Möbius's super high intelligence—having developed consciousness before birth, learned language, and could speak from birth—he would probably have embarked on an intellectual destiny even in the womb.
The little snake felt better than ever before. At the same time, she also realized a serious problem: with the bonus of the intelligent destiny, the snake from the previous civilization could catch up very quickly and master the knowledge required for the historical loop of the previous civilization at an extremely fast speed. After that, she could devote herself to the advancement of her own evolution.
Seeing Luo Zhen's furrowed brows, she chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that I caught up with her, or are you unhappy that she overtook me?"
Luo Zhen shook his head: "I just want to remind you not to rely too much on the destiny of knowledge. Some important experiments and important thoughts are better done in other worlds."
The Venerable One has been calculating the entire universe and trying to anchor the future. To put it simply, if a story has three endings, the Venerable One will block the path to two of those endings and send people to hunt you down, forcing you to move toward the ending He has written.
If you are working on a major invention that could potentially change the course of the universe, the initial experiments might fail due to some tiny error, but after a period of time, the experiment might succeed perfectly.
That is because the Venerable Master stipulated that you must produce experimental results at that point in time, thereby influencing the universe to move in the direction He ordained.
The giant snake sneered, "It sounds like all the researchers are like his puppets or prisoners in jail, without even the freedom to conduct research."
"That's fine too."
Luo Zhen shrugged. "I was the first genius to create the Bo Shi Zun, and I've always felt that the Bo Shi Zun shouldn't exist. Let alone a Star God, even the path of wisdom shouldn't exist. The sparks of thought should be free."
"In the era before the birth of knowledge, the exploration of knowledge had no boundaries, and no one would forcibly control the development of knowledge."
"Sounds good."
The little snake seemed to be thinking, "So you don't want us to go too far down the path of intellectual destiny?"
"There aren't any restrictions."
Luo Zhen said, "Anyway, if there are any problems, you can just run away to other worlds. I'm just reminding you that if you can't do some experiments no matter what you do, you might as well try somewhere else. It might be that Bo Shi Zun is up to something."
The Black Tower has experienced such incidents: storage unit failures at critical moments, the deaths of key researchers, and accidental activation of particle conversion experiments...
