A moment of silence was broken by Aponia, who spoke in her usual slow cadence, "There's plenty of time. Now that the threads of fate have changed with the appearance of this Hyperion, the purpose of the Elysian Realm doesn't need to follow the past. Let's go back and think about it, Captain!"

"Whatever you all decide!"

Zhang Wei nodded, subtly glancing at Aponia's considerable bosom. Up close, the visual impact was unparalleled; they were too large to be held by two hands.

Zhang Wei also wondered if Aponia felt tired carrying such a heavy burden on her shoulders.

"Agreed!"

All the Flame-Chasers nodded. Although Elysia had a new body, they also needed to consider carefully whether or not to leave the Elysian Realm, as they were, after all, people from the old era.

However, the final outcome was mostly agreement. The Elysian Realm's environment had remained virtually unchanged for tens of thousands of years. Even though the Flame-Chasers were merely memory bodies, they were incredibly bored. Except for Mobius, who had always been looking for a way to leave the Realm, the others, more or less, desired new changes to revitalize the long-still waters of the Elysian Realm.

Therefore, when new visitors arrived, the Flame-Chasers felt a sense of amusement.

The Flame-Chasers returned to their respective areas, while Elysia stayed behind, looking around curiously at the Hyperion. However, Zhang Wei knew that Kiana and the others were more interesting to Elysia than the Hyperion itself.

"Captain, I have a question. Hyper-dimensional Factors can be materialized based on Honkai Beast factors, but how did you manage to materialize my Herrscher Authority?" Elysia sat on the sofa, crossing her legs. The visual impact of her full thighs pressing against each other made Zhang Wei look a few more times.

Her Origin Authority was not something a Herrscher of Reason could perfectly materialize, yet it had truly appeared within her body.

"Of course, it's this readily available method. Otherwise, it would indeed be a bit troublesome!"

Zhang Wei took out a crystal-clear branch from his pocket. An endless stream of Imaginary energy instantly filled the space. This was not a tree in the true sense but a materialized product. On each leaf, the existence of a world could be seen. Elysia could clearly feel its immense weight.

"Such a beautiful thing. Wait, this isn't the Imaginary Tree, is it?"

Elysia's small mouth opened wide. How could she, a Herrscher, not recognize that aura, which was like the Imaginary Origin? She wasn't a Herrscher of the Quantum Side. Herrscher of Finality, and those related to the Cocoon of Finality, were basically of the Imaginary Side. Seele, the Herrscher born from the sea, could be considered of the Quantum Side.

The next second, with this guess, Elysia looked at Zhang Wei's pocket. Why would such a thing be taken out in that manner? It felt a bit nonsensical. Shouldn't it be kept in a more secure place?

And also, why did he have a branch of the Imaginary Tree? And judging by the cut, it looked like it was freshly broken off from the Imaginary Tree.

"Correct, but no reward. This is a branch of the Imaginary Tree. With it, I can use some of the Imaginary Tree's abilities to a certain extent."

Even though he snatched it, he snatched it fair and square, so using it was fine.

The so-called Cocoon of Finality was an extraterrestrial object for Earth. Every Herrscher was a projection of the Cocoon of Finality. It was the sole Imaginary singularity of the Imaginary Tree acting upon a world. It was like a valve at the end of the Imaginary Tree, controlling everything related to the Honkai.

Elysia took a deep breath, gaining an even deeper understanding of Zhang Wei's mysteriousness. He dared to pluck wool from such a great existence as the Imaginary Tree. Even the Herrscher of Finality probably wouldn't have the guts.

"Elysia, can you show us around the Elysian Realm? You should be the most familiar with it, right?" Zhang Wei didn't want to discuss that topic. The power of the Imaginary Tree was undeniable, but with the increasing number of Valkyries on the Hyperion, he might have a chance to surpass the Imaginary Tree. No, he definitely would.

"That's one way to put it, but Pardofelis is more familiar than me. She probably knows all the secret passages!" Elysia chuckled.

Except for Aponia, who was a special existence, Pardofelis often went to various Flame-Chasers to resupply. Her footprints were left in almost every corner. She could take Zhang Wei and the others to visit the places she frequented and play the host.

"Jana, change your clothes. You shouldn't wear this one out!" Zhang Wei's head started to ache when he saw Jana wearing such revealing attire. The Hyperion was fine, but other places were not.

"Understood!"

Jana closed her eyes, and materialized Honkai Energy gushed out from her body. When the Honkai Energy disappeared, her clothes had transformed into a simple style: a sea-blue hip-hugging long dress inside, with a white cape on the outside, and a white veil on her head, covering her blue hair. Her enchanting beauty vanished, and Jana now looked like a saint.

"Jana, you're not human, are you?"

Elysia's eyes lit up. The magnitude of her Honkai Energy far surpassed any Herrscher she had encountered in the previous civilization, as if it could destroy the world. However, she wouldn't dislike Jana just because she was a beautiful girl.

"Human? Of all the beings on the Elysian Realm and the Hyperion, perhaps none can be called truly human!" Jana smiled faintly.

They were either memory bodies, Herrschers, or Fusion Warriors. They could be called human, but they could also be called non-human.

"I am a Honkai Beast, but so what if I'm not human? The creature known as humanity is too complex. Some are as kind as you, Elysia, always harboring good intentions. As for the wicked ones, they truly make Honkai Beasts feel ashamed!"

"Is this a compliment? I'll accept it without hesitation." Elysia raised an eyebrow and took Jana's hand, walking outside.

Having traveled the world since childhood, how could she not have seen the ugliness of humanity? But she was still willing to believe in the good side of humanity. The ugliness of human nature angered her, but she wasn't an omnipotent god who could control others' thoughts. She had always maintained her original intention.

Zhang Wei watched this scene with a smile and followed. He had no intention of conquering the world. The Hyperion was his home, and their shared home. A relaxed life was good enough. Occasionally, he could change some regrets. As for schemes and tricks, he didn't want to be involved in any of them.

Led by Elysia, the group began to tour the Elysian Realm. The architecture here was quite distinctive, with buildings from the previous civilization, carrying a sense of historical depth.
