Incidentally, this is why most probabilities in games are false probabilities... Most people's blood pressure can't handle real probabilities.

"Alright, that's enough for this test." Liu Bai stopped the test after experiencing the feeling of the attack being ineffective. "Next, Bianka, have you ever done anything wrong?"

"Hmm... does sneaking a bite when I'm hungry in the middle of the night count? And what about being naughty when I was little and making Lord Ragna angry?"

Liu Bai thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think so."

"?" Bianka tilted her head, a little confused.

"My next skill is related to sin. I'm not sure about the criteria, but judging by your actions, Bianka ... there shouldn't be any problems. If there is no sin, there will be a buff."

"Let's go then," Bianka without hesitation.

Liu Bai immediately threw a Karma Ablation at Bianka.

Bianka frowned as if enduring pain. Before Liu Bai could even ask, a strand of Bianka's bangs turned white, and she donned armor. Black feathers adorned her hair, and a majestic black warhorse appeared beside Bianka. At that moment, Bianka 'Bianka aura enveloped the entire Schicksal Headquarters.

"...Damn, a savior's mission." Looking at Bianka's domineering demeanor, Liu Bai immediately understood what was going on.

Although the World Bubble is relatively watery, it is still a real world. Saving a World Bubble that is about to break may not be as difficult as it is now, but it is hard to call it a "world" now. After all, the concept of a world can be as small as a planet or as large as the boundless starry sky.

While World Bubble is a mini-world, it does indeed have a concept of a world...

Liu Bai glanced at his panel and found Bianka's status under the skill bar of the Karma Ablation.

Bianka Kaslana

[Permanent Growth: Fully Awakened Potential]

[Short-term increase: 20% increase across the board]

Ah... is this a direct full limit break or a full limit break and max level?

Isn't this truly a monumental act of salvation?

If it weren't for the fact that Bianka's actions are completely unreplicable, Liu Bai would genuinely not mind if everyone went to save the World Bubble together for the sake of the reward.

After all, in a sense, the destruction of the World Bubble is a natural phenomenon of the Sea of Quanta. As long as this thing is in the sea, destruction is inevitable. Bianka's operation of inverting the World Bubble into her own body is something that even Mei exclaimed in amazement.

"Ahem! Bianka, calm down, calm down." Bianka's aura is too intense right now, directly suppressing the entire Schicksal. Before long, everyone will have to come and see.

"Oh... Oh oh!" Bianka was still trying to understand her new power and accept her past memories, immediately reacted to Liu Bai's call and quickly put away her weapons and the tall horse next to her.

Yes, memories from the past.

At this moment, the Stigmata of Kaslana and Schariac on Bianka's body also fully awakened, and all the past memories flooded into Bianka's mind.

At the same time, Liu Bai didn't mention any more tests. Anyway, the last one couldn't be tested in Schicksal, and... it was better not to let them find out that he could have infinite physical forms.

Just look at Bianka. When she was in her limited physical form, Rita had already prepared everything that Bianka needed. Needless to say, she had prepared everything that the others needed. These clever people probably had everything prepared for them.

If I were to reveal the existence of infinite entities, these girls would probably all be completely distracted.

Sure enough, Rita arrived shortly afterward—after all, she was next door.

"Lady Bianka...?" Rita peeked out, a puzzled look on her face. "Excuse me... Oh, my dear was there too. You two wouldn't happen to be...?"

"Nothing is impossible—did you see Bianka take her clothes off?"

"Well... that's true." Rita stepped forward from the side. "What were those two doing just now?"

"About the experiment with the new ability... but it might not be suitable for you Rita." Liu Bai stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

Rita has many merits, but her misdeeds... are not few either. After all, Rita used to work part-time as a black glove. Although Rita's work attitude is rather lax, many people can't beat Rita when she's slacking off. Before the version was updated, Rita was definitely a top-tier character.

"Oh." Rita didn't care about any new abilities. Rita had already accepted reality: she was just a weakling. What was the point of going to the battlefield? To boost her combat power? She didn't need it.

If she had a way to take Liu Bai with her, Rita would have retired on the spot and gone home to live a cozy life with Liu Bai's husband and children.

Before long, the others came over, and Liu Bai patiently explained to them one by one. Everyone calmly said they understood, and after telling the two of them not to do anything sneaky, they left.

Only Gray Serpent and Mei remained.

"Teacher, I've remembered everything from back then. Is this memory seal related to you?" Mei rubbed her head. Just as she recalled her memories, Liu Bai gained a new ability, and Mei naturally connected the two events. "Thinking about it now is really quite subtle..."

"A delicate balance," Gray Serpent added from the side. "Current civilizations have already proven their worth."

"Everyone thinks it's time to use our backup plan?"

"Yes." Mei nodded. "Now is just right."

"Then wait for me a moment." Liu Bai thought for a moment, and since things were already like this, he might as well take care of Danzhu Cangxuan's matter while he was at it.

We can't let these two little ones lie around like corpses for a while longer, can we?

Liu Bai has a pretty good personal relationship with these two eccentric and lively people.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai immediately activated the simulation of Danzhu Cangxuan.

[Simulation begins——]

In the shelter

"Traces of surface civilization detected. Thawing begins."

The Stasis Pod sounded according to the pre-programmed procedure, and at the same time, the Stasis Pod's hatch slowly opened.

"Haa~ How come we're civilized so quickly... I want to sleep a little longer." Danzhu stretched sleepily. "Sigh, I wonder how Liu Bai is doing now. The others... are probably still asleep."

"Liu Bai is sitting on your coffin lid right now."

"--ha!?"

Chapter 455 You're the boss, is there a problem?

"Whoa! Are you trying to scare me on purpose?"

Startled by Liu Bai's words, Danzhu instantly sobered up, looking indignant.

"How can you scare me like that! I was terrified! My heart almost jumped out of my chest! Just like you said before I went to sleep, I can see you as soon as I open my eyes!"

However, despite her complaints, Danzhu's tone softened, and she seemed much more at ease.

After all, they didn't have much experience with the upcoming Fire Moth Project. Their approach was purely theoretical, and they were a little nervous about messing things up on their own.

Seeing his boss here, Danzhu naturally felt relieved.

"Liu Bai... it's been a long time. For you..." Cangxuan, who was standing next to him, woke up at this moment and naturally greeted Liu Bai, who was sitting on the Danzhu coffin... Stasis Pod.

"For me, it was just a moment." Liu Bai looked at Hua, who finally sat up from the Stasis Pod. "Hua, remember to observe me with the God Key. We don't have a contract now."

"Yes." Hua nodded, indicating her understanding.

"Hmm... let me see how many years we've been asleep." Danzhu operated the small control panel Stasis Pod. "Wow! More than 45,000 years?"

Everyone present, except for Liu Bai, was stunned when they heard this number.

Forty-five thousand years?

If it weren't for the fact that Cangxuan and Hua both have excellent control over their expressions, they would probably be yelling like Danzhu right now.

"It doesn't feel real at all... Let's go out and take a look," Hua said, somewhat dazed.

No one present objected to this.

"Wait a minute, how about we dismantle the Stasis Pod first? These few Stasis Pod are enough for us to make a lot of things," Cangxuan suggested, looking at the Stasis Pod. "Besides, we haven't run out of energy yet, which will be useful in a critical moment..."

"There's no need," Liu Bai said, stopping them. "Tearing these things down now is like cutting off our own escape route. What if you two need to come back and lie here again?"

"That sounds really unlucky..." Danzhu scratched his head.

Cangxuan pondered for a moment and then nodded, "That makes sense. Let's keep it for now. I'll go check the warehouse... Hmm, there are still 773 Keys of Domination inside, the same number as when they were sealed. There are no missing or damaged ones, and the air circulation system is working properly... That's impressive. Alright, let's go out and take a look."

After thoroughly inspecting the shelter, which had very little stuff, the three of them and the ghost went up the stairs.

"Forty-five thousand years, these stairs haven't even shown much natural wear and tear. We were really strong back then." Danzhu stomped her feet twice, feeling the crisp sound of her shoes hitting the steps, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After the past fades away, looking back, they realize what a glorious era they once lived in.

"Liu Bai, do you think we could use this shelter to go and play tricks on those primitive people... no, according to civilized standards, we should be calling them tribes now? — and get a title of deity?"

Danzhu was just sighing when he suddenly turned his thoughts to something funny.

"You need to be able to find a tribe first, and before that, don't starve to death."

Liu Bai tapped Danzhu on the head; the guy hadn't changed his lively and mischievous personality at all.

Squeak—!

Hua easily pushed open the shelter door.

Fresh air rushed into the shelter as the door was pushed open.

"This fresh, natural air~" Danzhu took two deep breaths, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

"We're in a cave now... Surprisingly, the terrain is almost identical to that of the Previous Era." Cangxuan gazed at the cave he was in and the lush primeval forest outside, lost in thought. "If that's the case, then the east must be the mouth of the sea and inland rivers... right, Danzhu?"

Cangxuan nudged his sister. She was a complete novice when it came to geography, while Danzhu was an all-rounder in this area.

"Oh? Right, that's the East China Sea. Going north from the East China Sea are the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. If the terrain hasn't changed much, these places are more likely to have given rise to primitive tribes. If you want to find tribes, just look inwards from the estuary."

Danzhu waved her small hand.

"We learned this back then: the vast majority of Shenzhou civilization originated from rivers and streams."

"I see..."

Cangxuan nodded.

Liu Bai was slightly confused before he realized that the two referred to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Although he had spent a considerable amount of time in the Previous Era, Liu Bai still hadn't quite adapted to some of his ways of thinking.

"Then let's go find the tribe after the rain stops."

"Hmm... it's not impossible, but I think we should focus on surviving first." Danzhu had a subtle expression on her face. "Seriously, I'm a little hungry. Should we move on to the wilderness survival part now?"

"I second that." Cangxuan nodded.

Although Danzhu and Cangxuan had undergone genetic modification, they were ultimately not like Hua, who had biologically deviated from humanity; they would still get hungry.

After 45,000 years of slumber, both of them felt a bit hungry.

"... Wilderness survival?" Hua pondered for a moment, then looked somewhat bewildered.

Seeing Hua's expression, Danzhu immediately understood. "Hey, hey, hey! Hua, you don't have any experience in wilderness survival, do you?"

"... Do you think I look like I am?" Hua shrugged. "If I were reduced to surviving in the wilderness, it would only mean that my junior sister didn't do her job well."

Danzhu & Cangxuan: "..."

There's some truth to that.

So the three living people present turned their attention to the only ghost.

"No, do you think a ghost like me needs to survive in the wilderness?" Liu Bai's face darkened. "You grown-ups can't even do that, and you come here to see me? Do you think I can conjure up food for you?"

"Ahem, well, if you put it that way, I actually know a little bit." Danzhu said helplessly.

"If you want to get rich, start by chopping down trees, right?" Liu Bai glanced at Danzhu with disdain. "You?"

Do you think I wouldn't know what you're capable of?

"Hey! You're going a bit too far by undermining me! At least this is a viable idea!"

"Feasible my foot! If you're so capable, go and chop down a tree with your bare hands!"

"Sis! Go! Punch that tree!"

Snap!

Cangxuan punched his sister on the forehead without hesitation, though he didn't use much force.

However, Liu Bai realized that although Danzhu was a weakling, Cangxuan and Hua were both superhumans, so chopping down a tree would be a piece of cake for them.

Well, if we do it that way, it's obviously a valid explanation.

However, we'll have to wait until the rain stops before we can actually implement it.

So the three of them, along with a ghost, sat down at the cave entrance and started chatting.

"Hey sis, how long do you think this huge primeval forest will be enough to sustain development?"

"It won't be developed for long. Just like if we didn't rely on Honkai Energy, we wouldn't have the luxury of leaving the entire Americas vacant... Moreover, as a coastal area, in a thousand or two centuries, fishing villages will appear here, and in another thousand or two centuries, cities might appear. In yet another thousand or two centuries, this place might undergo large-scale development, becoming a thriving port for foreign trade, transforming from a small town into an international metropolis. And during this transformation, there will be demolition compensation... and property prices will skyrocket, with a single house costing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions..."
