As they came into contact with each other, Himeko and Raiden Mei's memories from the previous generation were stirred up and surfaced. The group of familiar comrades looked at each other, their eyes revealing excitement.

Lian Shan, who was riding Ying Long, patted the back of the divine beast, signaling it to land. This handsome man with red hair, sword-like eyebrows, and a gentle temperament nodded and smiled reservedly at the crowd.

At the same time, the golden greatsword on Himeko's back trembled violently and rang out with a joyful sound. Then it automatically unsheathed itself, and Ji Lin, dressed in a bright yellow palace dress, appeared amidst the twisting runes on the sword.

"You're back?"

"Yes, I'm back!"

"Please don't go, okay? At least don't go alone..."

"Yeah, with everyone here, I'm not leaving this time..."

Lian Shan gazed intently, murmuring softly. Ji Lin's eyes welled with tears, and after a few simple words, he smiled through his tears and nodded earnestly.

The onlookers wore ambiguous expressions, their intention to watch the drama unfold clearly.

"Mei, oh ho, you've come back from the dead? Haha! I knew it! How could someone as smart as you not have some tricks up your sleeve to turn the tables!"

Cang Xuan excitedly patted Mei's shoulder. The loneliness he had suppressed for tens of thousands of years had made this originally aloof and reserved sage full of expressiveness and somewhat unruly.

"Actually, to be precise, I am a reincarnation, thanks to Kevin for helping me awaken my memories of my past life."

Raiden Mei responded with a smile, her gentle gaze glancing at Kevin, who was confronting Pan Zhen.

"Hmm? Reincarnation? That sounds like a very interesting topic. How about we discuss this project together once things calm down in Kunlun? I think there's a lot of money to be made in it!"

Cang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he secretly wiped the drool from his lips, his words full of longing and encouragement.

"Uh, you just said... there's a profit to be made?"

Raiden Mei carefully considered the words, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"That's right! Breaking through the barrier of reincarnation is a form of immortality!"

"Whether it's soul digitization or reincarnation services, there are too many people who don't want to die, and these are all extremely profitable ventures!"

"There will be plenty of fat sheep delivered to our doorsteps, waiting for us to fleece them until our hands are sore!"

"You have no idea how I've been cooped up in this space outpost for five thousand years to guard against the Kunlun Beast Tide. I'm almost going crazy!"

After Cang Xuan finished complaining, he muttered to himself as he grabbed the shoulder of his former colleague and shook her repeatedly, seemingly eager to find a sense of validation.

"I heard the grass on the Honkai graves is already half a meter tall. I didn't have the chance before, but now that I'm out here, I'm going to have a blast!"

"Moreover, real estate, daily necessities, travel, karaoke, clothes, shoes, upgrading of living facilities... which of these doesn't require money?"

"Besides, I also have my silly little sister to raise, so that's double the cost! Just thinking about it makes my head spin!"

"If I don't seize the opportunity to make a quick buck, how can I live up to my own expectations?"

Mei felt a gust of wind rushing past her ears and her head spinning. To avoid being tormented by Mei, Cang Xuan was clearly going astray, she hurriedly nodded in agreement.

When Mei finally managed to break free from Cang Xuan's restraints, Dr. Mei's insight and wisdom suddenly came into play.

After scrutinizing the lower half of the snake-woman girl, she subconsciously frowned and offered a reminder.

"You and Dan Zhu don't seem to need shoes, so we can save on that expense..."

However, this rational persuasion awakened Cang Xuan from his hysteria.

"Why save?! Buy, buy, buy! Even if you don't wear them, you still have to buy them! This is to pursue a high quality of life! When your house is full of designer brands, it'll look amazing!"

The long-term indigenous life and the days the cat spent collecting data at the space outpost made Cang Xuan extremely excited upon hearing that he was about to be freed and return to civilized society.

Mei nodded immediately, agreeing wholeheartedly with Cang Xuan's point of view. Feelings of pity and guilt filled the girl with mixed emotions.

Fifty thousand years of solitude could truly drive a person mad. Look around, even if these so-called sparks of civilization have survived, almost none of them are normal.

Except for Kevin... Raiden Mei recalled the figure that had awakened her and couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.

However, she didn't know that without that subtle change, the former Kevin Kaslana would have also gone to extremes and madness in her loneliness.

"The little guy from the Department of Biological Genetics?"

"The big-breasted members of the Gray Moth Squad?"

On the other side, Murata Himeko looked at Dan Zhu, who was a head shorter than her, and memories of the past surged up. After tentatively exchanging the secret code, the two excitedly embraced each other.

When did they become so close? I remember they used to be sworn enemies because of those two lumps of fat on their chests.

At this moment, Cang Xuan, who was busy venting his future life plans to Mei, came back to his senses and looked suspiciously at the two figures who were laughing and jumping, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Upon hearing the whispers, Murata Himeko and Dan Zhu snapped out of their daze, their expressions changing drastically as if stung by a scorpion. They hastily pulled away and retreated, their faces turning cold towards each other.

"Hey! Kid, tell me the truth! Was the Hyper-mutation Factor you injected me with back then a fake drug?!"

"It got to the point where I couldn't control myself in Australia anymore. My consciousness faded, and I started to Herrscherization. It's like being desecrated after death! How will you calculate the compensation for my emotional distress?"

Murata Himeko, believing she had encountered a clinical trial mishap, adopted a fierce and menacing posture, looking down at Dan Zhu, the person in charge of the Hyper-mutation Factor project back then, and coldly questioned him.

"Hey, experiments have to be scientific! They have to be done step by step! Don't you understand, you clueless orangutan!"

"Besides, back then you were the one crying and begging to take the risks and conduct human experiments, and I couldn't stop you. Do you know that because of this, I was first scolded by my supervisor..."

"After the Australian incident, Kevin cornered me in the lab and lectured me! Compensation for emotional distress? You're the one who should pay me!"

Dan Zhu's eyes widened as she recalled her tragic experience of being implicated by this woman, and she retorted coldly.

"What? He went to your place to cause trouble?"

Murata Himeko heard some unfamiliar information and immediately abandoned her plan to extort money for emotional distress. Her cheeks flushed, and she asked him with a hint of shyness.

"So what if he is?! I'm not afraid of him! Trying to cause trouble? He just gave me a piece of his mind!"

At this moment, Dan Zhu, who was being led by the nose to change the subject, whispered a few harsh words, her eyes darting around insincerely, clearly showing her guilty conscience.

"Anyway, there's definitely something wrong with your Hyper-mutation Factor! You have to pay for it!"

"Why?! How did Hua succeed? It's clearly because you're not qualified enough!"

Hearing that his masterpiece had been slandered, Dan Zhu raised his head and retorted.

"The reasons are quite sufficient..."

Murata Himeko pursed her lips, proudly lifting the two bulges of flesh on her chest, her tone turning serious.

"I have big breasts, so I get to call the shots!"

Dan Zhu stroked his barren chest, feeling choked with anger, and was speechless for a moment.

Chapter 797 (Section 834) Don't I have any pride? (Bonus Chapter)

"Hey! You bunch of aunties and grandmas catching up, can you stop nagging? Some of the Primordial Experiment Subjects are causing quite a ruckus, go inside and quiet them down for a bit!"

Just as the joy of reuniting after 50,000 years eased the tension on the battlefield, Kiana, who was starting to feel the strain, couldn't help but turn to Murata Himeko and the others for help.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the group, regaining their senses, gave polite, embarrassed smiles.

Then, the sound of sharpening knives arose, and many benevolent gazes were cast upon Kiana in mid-air, causing the habitually cheeky white-haired Paramecium to shrink back.

However, that feeling of being pricked by thorns quickly dissipated. The group, having regained their sense of the bigger picture, rushed into the ravaged foothills and began a coordinated attack on the most troublesome of the Primordial Experiment Subjects.

The brutal, aesthetically pleasing impact of the attacks and the constant explosions sent a chill down Kiana's spine, making her forehead break out in a cold sweat.

In contrast to the relaxed atmosphere in the Kunlun Beast Tide area, the three people responsible for capturing Reina were on high alert, concentrating their momentum to the extreme before advancing side by side.

"Roar!"

After filtering through his thoughts, Dr. Banner recalled images of Earth being impacted by a beast tide, which instantly ignited his rage, causing him to grit his teeth and roar in a low voice.

As Dr. Banner sprinted forward, his body rapidly expanded, his strong green muscles tearing his clothes, and his originally gentle face gradually became ferocious and terrifying.

Immediately, amidst a violent tremor of the earth, a massive, muscular fist slammed down on Reina, who was watching from the sidelines.

Caught off guard, Lieyang Star Princess realized she couldn't dodge in time. She immediately bent over and pressed down, extending her right arm forward, and roared as she conjured a Dawn Shield that shimmered with sunlight patterns.

"I'm warning you, big guy! I'm not someone to be trifled with..."

"Boom!"

However, before Reina could finish speaking, terrifying sonic booms exploded in layers, and the green fist slammed into the light shield that had just begun to take shape.

In an instant, the dazzling sunlight patterns shattered, and Reina, who was directly hit, was like being rammed by a tank at full speed.

This inexperienced player, who underestimated the Hulk's terrifying physical Light of the Sun output, was instantly sent hurtling like a cannonball into the mountain behind him, crashing through three peaks at an angle before finally coming to a stop.

After regaining her composure, the disoriented Reina pushed aside the rubble and flew out as a burst of light.

However, amidst several muffled thunderous booms, the giant green creature, with its terrifying leaping power, sprang into action and appeared before Reina in just a few breaths.

"Wait, wait... wait a minute! I..."

Reina's body trembled involuntarily, feeling somewhat apprehensive. She was about to speak up and resolve the dispute in a civilized manner.

But the irritable green behemoth, like swatting a fly, tightened its grip with both hands, forcing Reina to pull away and dodge.

Until Reina ascended to an altitude of 10,000 meters, the Hulk, who was essentially still an infantryman, found his attacks somewhat ineffective.

Even so, Dr. Banner can still intermittently threaten the safety of this Light of the Sun with his terrifying jumping ability.

"Holy crap! What kind of monsters and demons roam the Chiwu Star?! I've never seen anything like them since I was born!"

Having gained a temporary respite, Reina looked at her bright yellow palace dress, which had been torn in several places, and felt frustrated, cursing under her breath.

She had just finished showering and changing her clothes when she was almost beaten to a pulp by a huge green guy!

Fortunately, Sushang's safety has been entrusted to Pan Zhen; otherwise, while I might be alright, Su Chang would probably be turned into a meat pie.

Sigh, I was just on a business trip to Chiwu Star, how did those guys from the Tai Xu Seven Swords get into this kind of trouble?

Previously, Reina had vaguely sensed the sycophancy of Li Sushang's elders, and therefore chose to keep her distance.

Therefore, the Princess did not have a deep relationship with them, and the idea of avenging them was only fleeting.

After the deaths of the Tai Xu Seven Swords, which embroiled her in a conflict between two star systems and involved a host of shady dealings, she lost all interest in the idea.

After all, as Princess who has not yet assumed power, she should not interfere in such important military and national affairs. Reina was aware of this, both publicly and privately.

But now it seems these guys have made a huge mess! Even Reina, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, felt a bit like cursing.

Fine, for Sushang's sake, let's respect the dead...

Reina, who had disappeared above the clouds, composed herself while frantically calculating the data of the stars in the Chiwu Star System so that she could manipulate more of the star's energy.

However, before she could finish building the algorithm, the surrounding clouds fluctuated violently, and "Light of the Sun" felt a sense of alarm and immediately withdrew.

But the moment the clouds dispersed, two figures attacked from the left and right.

Zero held Tactical Sword, chanting ancient magic like a ballad.

With each syllable uttered, as this World-Ending Diva took her first step, miniature arrays spreading into the void became "steps" for her to land and accelerate.

In an instant, Zero rose into the sky, level with Reina, and his black-handled, white-bladed Tactical Sword swept out an arc of light, aiming straight for the target's chest.

Zenith Blade! Dawnbreaker Shield! You really think I'm a pushover, someone you can just bully?! I've got real skills too!

Surrounded by three sides, Reina, whose confidence was shaken, conjured a dark golden sword and shield, ready to use her strength to avenge her previous defeat.

As she withstood the crescent-shaped blade of light, her body, which had been knocked back, was then struck on the back by a sudden arm shield, causing her to plummet from the clouds at high speed.

Launch a swift, pincer attack, giving her no time to think or breathe! This girl is acting strangely!

Astride their mechanical Silver Wing Pegasus, Thunder and Zero, the World-Ending Diva, exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and tacitly chased after Reina's figure, swooping down.

However, after being beaten twice in a row, Reina was now truly enraged and decided to disregard the prohibition left to her by her grandfather Dihong Kun.

She then used a simple algorithm to frantically gather Stellar Energy, and after the ball of light on her chest took shape, she pushed it out with all her might, her face pale.

As the ball of light rose to the height where it met the two pursuing figures, it exploded with a deafening roar amidst the distortion, and a terrifying mushroom cloud gradually took shape as the air currents surged.

The Kunlun Mountains were suddenly hit by a powerful shockwave. The little vegetation that remained was almost completely uprooted, and the rocks were peeled away layer by layer, turning into rising dust that flew everywhere.

A miniature Solar Flare bombardment?! That's almost as powerful as a conventional nuclear weapon!

Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that Pan Zhen, who was locked onto by his aura, relaxed. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Sorry, but none of the helpers he carefully selected are afraid of nuclear weapons!

At the same time, two figures with circular Magic Array Diagram above their heads rushed out of the blast radius and accelerated towards the area where Reina was falling.

The raised Gunblade and Tactical Sword forced the already inexperienced Reina to focus all her strength on defense, protecting her vital points.

As Reina descended to a height of 100 meters, that familiar trembling sound reached her ears.
