Seeing that Mei was too lazy to answer, the Gray Serpent answered for her.

For him, it was especially important not to offend anyone at times like this... although Gray Serpent felt that in a few days he might just see his Doctor tear apart the Valkyrie of Schicksal.

"Please do your best to survive, Miss Rita."

It was rare for the Gray Serpent to give Rita a blessing based on its subjective feelings.

"Many women?" Rita wasn't naive anymore; she already understood what Gray Serpent meant by saying that.

"Hmm... more than half. For an ordinary person, that's a lot, but from Lord Liu Bai's perspective... it should still be manageable."

Gray Serpent thought for a moment, then realized that the women around his boss were enough to form two groups of Thirteen Flame-Chasers. What would be a fatal situation for ordinary people might be manageable for his boss.

"The second half of the sentence is meaningless, Gray Serpent."

Liu Bai said softly.

However, Rita remained calm. There were only seven or eight people. Given her current situation, why would she need seven or eight more?

I love seeing you guys jealous but unable to do anything about it.

After being timid for a while, Rita actually started to get cocky again, but not very obviously.

If Rita's strength hadn't been relegated to the second tier, Rita would have already demonstrated that Liu Bai was only fit for the strong, thus securing her position as the primary wife.

But alas... we simply can't beat those beasts in the top tier.

Even as she drifted along, Rita remained somewhat rational; she didn't want to be treated like an idiot and kicked around...

This is the tragedy of insufficient military strength.

"I think it's already very good." Rita was not only calm, but also very forgiving.

After all, the previous civilization only had this many people, less than ten. Now, with all the chaos and factionalism, a few more people are not an issue.

It's just another group of people from Previous Era. No big deal.

If Liu Bai's situation isn't good enough, then what is?

Chapter 469 the Awakened One: Why Did I Get Involved with This Kind of God?

"Very good?"

Mei's eyelids twitched when she heard Rita's words.

This person is truly ignorant and fearless. Based on what she did before, she would have been torn apart by hand in the Previous Era... probably?

Mei was halfway through her thought when she suddenly remembered Elysia, that guy with a completely abnormal thought process.

Perhaps the only one who wouldn't care about this is Elysia? As for the others, let alone Eden, even Aponia would probably care to some extent.

"I hope you can continue to maintain this optimistic attitude."

Mei is definitely going to have a big fight with Rita.

There's no way around it; when it comes to relationships, Mei would be crushed by Rita if they went head-to-head. It's okay if there are other people helping out, but without others... well, even Raiden Mei, as another version of herself in the current civilization, could beat herself up.

To put it simply, Mei is better at holding others back than taking the initiative; in other words, she's better at playing the worst...

So there's nothing more to say, it's blown up. Anyway, if I keep going like this, I might have to send it out, so I'll give you guys some extra strength!

Um... but speaking of strength, I have to admit that I also feel that the current civilization's strength has reached a ceiling.

It's not that so-and-so is so powerful that they can suppress everyone, but the competition is too fierce. The vast majority of people seem to be radicals, which is completely different from the peaceful coexistence in the Previous Era. Moreover, quite a few people have a strange way of thinking.

Putting everything else aside, just look at Mei, who has the same face as me. With her thought process and initiative, even if Eden came here, his face would be run over by wheels several times.

Not to mention Otto, who can instantly lose his mind and transform into a twisted creature whenever the topic of Liu Bai comes up...

This group of people can be described as reliable, but not entirely reliable.

Actually, Mei also doubted whether releasing those guys would emotionally increase the strength of the current civilization. If the current civilization's people banded together and went all out, they might actually be able to carve out a new world.

Well, this brings us to another completely unbearable aspect of modern civilization—these people all bring their families along!

Rita, who is currently in front of me, is considered quite good in this regard. If nothing unexpected happens, she will bring Bianka and Ragna, and if all else fails, she will bring Otto as well—of course, what Otto wants to bring as dowry is another matter.

Looking at other places, such as Bronya's orphanage, sisters and mothers are all involved. Okay, maybe Cocolia, the mother, is just there to make up the numbers, but that doesn't change the fact.

And then there's Fu Hua's Tai Xu Sword Sect. Honestly, Mei wanted to kick Fu Hua out. Senior Sister, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you actually had three generations of disciples all involved. Do you have any shame? — Fu Hua's generation, Su Mei's three generations, Li Sushang's generation.

If Fu Hua weren't her senior sister, Mei would have pointed her finger at Hua and told her to have some shame! Third generation! Third generation! Could you be any more outrageous?

Oh, it's gotten even more outrageous. There's also a Herrscher version of the senior sister, and a big-breasted version of the senior sister has just been thawed.

Where's your face?! Where's your face?! You've completely lost all sense of shame, haven't you?!

As for counting further ahead, there are also the Anti-Entropy Science Group and the Schicksal Teachers and Students.

The former is still quite powerful, but it's a four-to-one combination – Einstein, Planck, Edison, Schrödinger with Tesla.

The latter, Himeko brought Mei and Kiana along to make up the numbers, but it wasn't a complete filler.

Mei genuinely felt that none of the members of this gang were easy to get along with.

Their Previous Era... well, putting everything else aside, was primarily characterized by each fighting their own battles.

The only one who could adapt to the current civilization's group warfare might be Mobius —for one thing, there are many people in Mobius's laboratory.

As for the others... it seems that apart from being from Previous Era, they don't have any reason to stick together.

As for the fact that everyone is an old friend and therefore gets along well?

Sorry, if I hadn't experienced Liu Bai not being around, I might have believed this. But after experiencing it, I've already decided that this stuff is pure nonsense.

Stick together? It would be a miracle if any of these people stuck together!

Well, someone like Sakura, a nobody, might actually be able to team up with someone like Pardo —provided Sakura isn't allergic.

But the problem is with Sakura... While calling her a weakling might be a bit harsh, if you have fighting ability but choose to just drift along, you're not even as good as a weakling!

Of the rest, only Elysia can get by anywhere. The others— Eden, Aponia, Vil-V, Mobius, and even herself—do they look like people who can stick together?

Sorry, I really can't. Don't talk about best friends. It's precisely because they're best friends that I'd stab them in the back! It's a completely different concept from a "best friend" like the one in modern times who actually sleeps with you and takes you for fun.

For some reason, Mei felt that her group might not be as united as the younger generation in modern civilization when it came to fighting over men.

But since I'm already in this state, there's no problem letting those people out. If I can fight them, I can fight them; if I can't, it'll be quite interesting to watch them get overwhelmed.

"Then you and Gray Serpent should take care of this sometime. I'm going to check on that unlucky kid, Su."

Liu Bai glanced at Su's condition and found that this unfortunate kid was also in an abnormal state. However, unlike Aponia, who was unable to teleport, Su could teleport.

... Perhaps it's because Sue's consciousness is still active?

Mei was taken aback. "Su? Teacher, can you save him?"

"He's not completely dead yet, we should be able to make a quick buck."

"Oh..." Mei wasn't too surprised that Su could still make a profit, after all, Su was one of only two psychic beings in their group—the other being Aponia.

For these two people, physical death is most likely not the end of their lives. However, Mei really has no clue how to rescue someone who is only mentally intact.

Now that Liu Bai said he had a solution, Mei immediately nodded. "Then I'll take care of the Moth Chasers to Fire. I'll leave Su to you, teacher."

"Okay, I'll leave for a bit."

Liu Bai directly selected Su and teleported her.

The next moment, Liu Bai appeared in a vast and boundless space.

Before Liu Bai's eyes was a chessboard with only a few pieces—it seemed that the game hadn't been going on for very long.

"..."

For some reason, Liu Bai sensed a silence emanating from this vast and boundless high-dimensional space.

"... Teacher? What brings you here?" Su Ye noticed Liu Bai at the other end of the chessboard and exclaimed in surprise.

"... Teacher?" The vast space finally uttered a question.

"This... The Awakened One, is that how I address you?"

After a moment's thought, Liu Bai remembered the owner of this space—a being who, like Su, was known as the Awakened One.

"My child got lost and wandered in here. Can I take him with me now?"

"..."

The vast space fell silent once again.

"Teacher, please let me stay here—if I win this game, I'll know the truth about the Honkai," Su said urgently.

"Winning the game?" Liu Bai raised an eyebrow, landed next to Su, and immediately revealed his physical form, kicking Su to the ground. He looked at Su with a look of utter disappointment. "Winning the game? Wouldn't it be better if I had Prometheus come and play chess with me? Besides, is the truth about the Honkai important? Even if you knew the truth, what would happen if I hadn't come? Would you be able to be teleported back to the mortal world like your teacher and become a ghost?"

"..." Feeling the pain in his buttocks, Su was clearly a little dazed.

"Does the truth of some things really matter? What does the truth about the Honkai have to do with us? As long as we Honkai on our planet, everything will be over! Dude, you be the judge, isn't that the logic?"

Liu Bai turned to the owner of this space with a somewhat unbridled tone. He discovered that although this space was called a high-dimensional space, his ghostly nature was completely unaffected.

Moreover, the owner of this space clearly had a rather subtle attitude towards himself.

Since I arrived, the owner of this space has been silent most of the time.

If Liu Bai remembered correctly, when this guy brought Su in, although he wasn't exactly a chatterbox, he was still pretty much a chatterbox.

"... That's absolutely right. Since you wish to take this disciple away, then please do as you please."

Why... is this person here?

The sleeping alien god clinging to the outer edge of the world... Has his spirit truly infiltrated the world?

A unique anomaly amidst diversity... But is his mind unaware of its own situation?

The only good news.

The Awakened One knows their own family affairs.

It is true that this is a higher-dimensional space, but the so-called higher dimensions are relative to lower dimensions.

Ten meters is high compared to one meter, but what is ten meters compared to one hundred meters?

Moreover, there is something even more terrifying than this kind of comparison: the measure of something.

If we measure distances by one meter as the largest unit and one hundred meters as the smallest, then one meter is the largest unit and one hundred meters is the smallest unit.

Reason? There is no reason, because this thing is called the right of final interpretation!

From a cosmic perspective, they call this irrational "measurement" a narrative layer.

From the perspective of the narrative layer, their so-called high-dimensional, low-dimensional, or even unit-based and multi-dimensional approaches are meaningless—if an author runs out of things to write about and then decides to create a new map, does that count?

It doesn't count.

Perhaps the narrative layer will be another narrative layer of a higher narrative layer, but clearly this is not a philosophical question that they should be pondering.

The real problem is that a narrative-level alien god is sleeping soundly with the world, while he... no, his spirit has sleepwalked into the world, playing a role-playing game and appearing right in front of him.

No one could understand why a narrator would appear in such a place. However, for beings at their level, they could simply look up and see a sleeping giant face overhead, so they were not unfamiliar with Liu Bai's existence or even his aura.

With the established facts right before our eyes, studying the "why" is no longer of much significance.

It's infuriating. All I did was find a human who suited my taste, and after he died, I brought him along to play chess. How did I end up getting involved with this kind of freak...?

Chapter 470 Someone Sleeped Themselves Out

The Awakened One has absolutely no desire to get involved in such troublesome matters.

After all, once that thing outside wakes up, the future of the entire world will become uncertain.

Whether you are low-dimensional or high-dimensional, whether you are multi-dimensional or mono-dimensional, whether you are a mortal or a god.

There is no difference in the face of such a high-dimensional narrator.

On the worst-case scenario, if you wake up this original entity, and it accidentally uses its arm to exert force when it gets up, then the entire world's giant will be spiraled upwards and ascend to the heavens. No matter which parallel world it hides in, it will be dead. There will be no way to struggle, and its concepts will be completely wiped out.

On the bright side, it's simply that this god-like figure led their world to a higher dimension.

The idea of the world ascending to a higher dimension sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

But the problem is that after the world ascends to a higher dimension, there will be a new emperor and a new court!

If the entire underlying code of the world needs to be rewritten, how can you expect your top-level program to still function normally? You'd be lucky if they didn't delete it!
