Zhang Wei smiled. He had played that wholesome game, Honkai Impact 3rd, through the Hyperion. How could he not understand Elysia? Her charisma was truly captivating.

If anyone dared say they hated Elysia, he, as a member of the Elysia fan club, would be the first to blow their head off. If they said Mobius hated her, that was fine. Who did not know Mobius's mouth was harder than Soulium? She was just a tsundere Snake Snake. She was soft all over, except for her mouth. Even if the Elysian Realm was destroyed, Mobius's mouth would still remain.

"Achoo!"

Meanwhile, Mobius, who was waiting elsewhere, suddenly sneezed. She frowned. Elysia must have been saying something about her. That Pink Fatty was truly detestable. Just wait and see! This time, though, she had wrongly accused Elysia.

"Can Memory Bodies catch colds too?" Kiana asked curiously.

"Not colds. Even if the Memory Bodies in the Elysian Realm do not possess their original selves' full strength, they still have superhuman physiques. They are immune to illnesses like colds, though they retain normal senses." Eden sipped the red wine from Zhang Wei's collection, a faint flush of tipsiness appearing on her cheeks.

Kiana nodded. Memory Bodies were quite fascinating. She wanted to make a Kiana Memory Body too.

"It is exactly the same as my body back then. I never expected you could do such an amazing job." Elysia was still getting used to her body. It could be said that it was a one-to-one replica of her body from back then.

"Captain-made products even come with the ability to have babies!" Zhang Wei put his hands on his hips, holding his nose high.

"..."

Elysia blinked. She had not said anything about that. Was he not thinking a little too far ahead?

Still, there was no denying that this brand-new body was truly identical to the one she had back then. If she did not know she was a Memory Body, she would have genuinely believed that Elysia had been reborn.

"There is no need to doubt yourself. You have your own thoughts. You are not Elysia's replacement. Don't you want to see the Herrschers of the Current Civilization? The story that was changed by you, the story that exists because of you."

"The Authority of Consciousness? You read my mind?" Elysia immediately used Origin's Authority, adding another layer of protection to her inner voice. A cute girl's heart could not be seen by bad boys.

Elysia got angry. She puffed out her cheeks and glared at Zhang Wei. That adorable expression made Zhang Wei's health bar plummet.

"Cough, cough. I was just curious. I would not casually read other people's minds normally," Zhang Wei said guiltily.

"Hmph, I forgive you. But don't casually read girls' thoughts. They will hate you for it."

"But I really do want to see the Herrschers of this era!" Elysia said word by word. When she had heard that the Herrscher of Reason stood on humanity's side, she had been overjoyed. She had succeeded. The Herrschers of the Current Civilization had also gained the light of humanity. This was what she most wished to see, and what she most wanted to see.

Although the Kiana she had met was the Herrscher of Finality and possessed her own humanity, she was from another world after all. It still felt different from this world.

"Yes. The story that exists because of you all—you naturally have the right to witness it," Zhang Wei said solemnly.

After watching this world's story, Zhang Wei felt that the Previous Civilization had truly carried the entire run. The Current Civilization's eventual success could not be separated from the Previous Civilization's achievements. The predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade.

There was a rather interesting comment that closely reflected reality:

Elysia: I hacked the exam room's surveillance cameras.

Mobius: I swapped in the previous year's exam papers.

Kevin: I became an examiner. Now I will supervise the test.

Su: I went to other exam rooms to see how everyone else was doing.

Hua: I brought some cheat sheets from the previous exam.

The Current Civilization was undoubtedly fortunate. Even though the Previous Civilization ultimately failed, it had gambled all its hope on this era. The exam had practically become open-book. Standing on the shoulders of giants, they sealed the Honkai on the moon.

Of course, this was not to deny the people of the Current Civilization. It was simply that the Previous Civilization's achievements were too incredible. They had played an absolutely crucial role.

"A story that exists because of us. What a romantic way to put it." Elysia savored those words, and her favorability toward Zhang Wei rose considerably.

"Let's go out. Eden and the others are getting anxious too."

With her hands behind her back, Elysia skipped toward the reception room. Without saying anything, Zhang Wei could clearly sense that she was in a very good mood.

"Ta-da! Eden, everyone, what do you think?"

The door opened automatically, and Elysia bounced inside, eagerly showing off her current self.

"It really worked?" Mobius rode her flying device silently up to Elysia, reaching out to press on her arm. The warm sensation made her eyes blaze with excitement. It was the look she gave a White Mouse.

Elysia nodded, not feeling creeped out in the slightest. Mobius had often looked at her like that back then, wanting to tie her, the White Mouse, to an operating table. As a social butterfly, she had not been scared at all.

"Since you have been revived, you should be able to give some blood, right?" Mobius casually picked up a sharp surgical scalpel made of Soulium and gestured at Elysia's arm.

"No! It will leave a scar!" Elysia decisively refused. She did not have any interest in self-harm.

"Elysia, congratulations!" A breathtaking smile appeared on Eden's noble and dignified face. There was no need for any introduction. Just seeing Eden made one think of a single word: rich lady!

"Eden, don't be in such a hurry. It will be your turn soon!" Elysia embraced Eden. As the two beautiful girls snuggled together, a faint citrus fragrance seemed to fill the spacious room.

"Captain, big brother, it should be my turn now, right?"

The moment Mobius saw Zhang Wei, she pressed herself against him, her voice so sweet and cloying that it made one's bones tingle, as though she were teasing him.

"Mobius, are you sure you will not do anything crazy if you go outside?"

The silent Kevin was happy for Elysia, but when he thought of Mobius's madness, the consequences would be unimaginable if she went out into the world. Who knew what she might do?

Everyone else fell silent as well, glancing at Mobius and Vill-V. Neither of them was particularly well-behaved. Their combat strength might not be the strongest, but in terms of danger, they could definitely rank ahead of the Flame-Chasers.

"So none of you want me to go out. Then when you need me, don't come looking for me!" Mobius's little face darkened as she spoke unhappily.

They made her sound like some kind of terrorist. Seriously!

"You can decide for yourselves. Whoever wants to leave the Elysian Realm, I do not mind," Zhang Wei said as he sat on the sofa, giving them a chance to choose. He was not some demon who forced others.
