In summary, although contingency plans were made in advance, the loss to civilization caused by the sinking of the Mu Continent was not as severe as originally expected. The industrial production lines had already been rebuilt in other regions before the Fire Moth broke with the Mu Continent. Furthermore, because of the break between the Mu Continent and the Fire Moth, not many people within the Fire Moth were negatively affected by the Honkai of the Mu Continent. However, for ordinary people, their knowledge of the Honkai was limited. The fact that Mu Continent, with the world's most advanced technology, had sunk, and even the royal family members had not survived, inevitably caused some unrest among the people.

However, compared to the chaos that followed the sinking of the Mu Continent in the previous era, things are still relatively good now.

For Zhu Yufeng and his group, the situation in the Afghan region is currently stable. The Rebel Army were killed as soon as they showed any Gray Serpent of trouble. Australia is still under construction. Food supplies in the Americas have been restored. Although Shenzhou and Europe have been affected by the Honkai, everything is currently under control.

In addition, Zhu Yufeng actually has another very important problem to solve.

"After testing, the Herrscher Core the First Herrscher is indeed inside this child, and..." Mobius looked at the analysis report in his hand, his tone indignant, "Based on the DNA sample analysis, this child is indeed related to Yu Feng and Lilith..."

"So... this child is indeed Feng and Lilith's daughter, right?" Hen looked at the little girl holding Zhu Yufeng's clothes with a complicated expression. "Feng... I... as a Mu Continent person, I am truly... apologetic for what I did to the Mu Continent."

He never expected that His Majesty the King would make such a decision. If the King were still alive, he would definitely ask him for an explanation. But now it was too late to ask, as the entire royal family believed that death was the greatest danger.

Regarding the complete annihilation of the royal family, Hen had some guesses in his heart that it might be the Fire Moth, or perhaps it was still lurking in the shadows, not appearing in front of the World Serpent to strike. After all, as long as the royal family exists, it is not a good thing for the Fire Moth.

But now, from my own perspective and position, these are things that must be buried deep in my heart and cannot be spoken of.

"It's because none of us expected Mu Continent to go to such extremes. They've even developed something like Honkai Energy Jamming Bullet, so it's not surprising that they would conduct this kind of experiment." Zhu Yufeng looked down at the child clinging to his clothes; he was still a little dazed.

Suddenly having a child without doing anything is ridiculous. If we're talking about reference points, Kevin could be considered someone who's been through it all, and Kevin did discuss this with him in a tone of someone who's been through it all.

Anyway, no matter what, this child has his blood flowing through his veins, and even possesses some mysterious thing like telepathy, so it's impossible for him not to care.

"So, have you decided what to name our child?" Lilith asked with a smile.

"If you can't think of anything right now, we can offer some suggestions," Kevin said, stroking his chin with a serious expression. "Like Eve's..."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Your son is named Adam and my daughter is named Eve, right?

Zhu Yufeng looked down at his "biological daughter" with a headache, then at Lilith, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Let's call her Lilim."

"Oh? I thought it would be that name." Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng with a hint of amusement. "But, there's nothing wrong with this name. After all, Lucifer and Lilith's daughter is Lilim, isn't she?"

"That name?" Elysia turned her gaze over. If Lilith said that, it meant that Feng had thought about a name for his child before, but hadn't decided on that name yet?

"Hey, don't talk nonsense..." Zhu Yufeng rarely showed an embarrassed expression. He had almost forgotten that Lilith knew a lot about him, including his dark history, because of the fact that their consciousness had been bound together. He was wondering if Lilith would forget over time, but it was clear that he was overthinking it.

And that name... does indeed have a special meaning, so I still understand it quite well.

At first, he did consider naming Lilim, but after thinking about it, he felt that Lilim was a more suitable name. After all, in his world's mythology, Lilim was the name of the child of Lilith and the fallen queen Lucifer.

Regarding the children of Lilith in mythology, male children are called Lilin, and female children are called Lilim. As for Lilin... he remembered this quite clearly. In his own world, some people said that Elysia's prototype was a certain deceptive company that kept paying homage to EVA's Lilin, the child of Lilith.

He had completely forgotten about it, but now that he has to name his child, it's hard not to recall some things from the past.

If we really consider the element of homage...

Zhu Yufeng shifted his somewhat strange gaze to Elysia and Lilith, then looked away again. He was overthinking it; he was definitely overthinking it. As far as he knew, there was no such person as Lilith in the story. Even if it was a tribute, Elysia represented an apostle of God who embraced love for humanity, while Lilith clearly did not correspond to the second apostle, Lilith. It was purely a coincidence of names.

But even if it's a coincidence in the name, coupled with the current situation, when you think about it, it's... a bit difficult.

Elysia slowly typed a question mark. What kind of expression is that, Feng? He must be thinking about something related to himself and Lilith, but this indescribable expression really makes one curious about what he's thinking!

Lilith glanced at Elysia, a thoughtful expression on her face, then a delighted smile spread across her face. Elysia stared blankly at Lilith, who seemed to be on the same wavelength as Zhu Yufeng. These two were playing cryptic games again! It must be related to Feng's past. Damn it, I definitely have to find a time to steal... no, borrow the Feather Dust from Hua and play with it!

"Is this how fast the tacit understanding develops after having another daughter?" Hen scratched his head helplessly. He could tell that Zhu Yufeng and Lilith had the same idea, which led to the situation where only Elysia knew nothing about it.

Damn it, why isn't this child's maternal genes from Elysia?! The Alicia/Maple shippers are going to have a tough time from now on!

"So, out of all the experimental subjects, only this one succeeded?" Su asked.

"According to the data we downloaded, this child... Lilim is indeed the only successful individual," Mei said, adjusting her glasses. "The experimental records show that none of the clones created in this experiment on the Mu Continent possessed self-awareness. However, after being implanted with the Herrscher Core, Lilim began to have mental activity. It was at that time that Herrscher energy fluctuations appeared on her, although she is very weak compared to all the Herrscher we currently know."

Zhu Yufeng shifted his gaze. This operation sounded strangely familiar. Kiana's creation was similar; all clones lacked self-awareness, but after being implanted with one of the four cores of the Herrscher of the Void, self-awareness was born. Furthermore, later in the story, it was explained that Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void were extensions of two directions of Sirin's will...

Following this logic, is Lilim actually an extension of the First Law's consciousness?

That's not right either. No matter what, this is Previous Civilization. The Lu people don't have humanity, or rather, they are basically enemies of humanity, unlike the Lu people in the current civilization who have the seeds of humanity planted by Elysia's sacrifice, which left the possibility of a kind side existing in Sirin's heart.

Furthermore, unlike Kiana, Lilim has been a Herrscher of Law since birth. Although weak, she can genuinely use Herrscher of Law powers, unlike Kiana who can only use them because she is replaced by the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void...

Besides that, there's another thing that I still can't explain: how telepathy works.

Is it possible to explain it like this? The biological parents are both legal entities, and the daughter is also a legal entity. If the daughter is in danger, she can contact her parents, who are also legal entities, through an imaginary path.

Another point is that, based on May's theory about the Cocoon of Finality the War of Finality, all the Laws' powers are actually projections of the Laws of the Finality at different times, originating from the Cocoon of Finality. So the question is, how do you explain that Lilim's powers are not much different from the First Law's powers?

Zhu Yufeng recalled that when he had communicated with Ugar before, he had asked Ugar if it knew how it came to be. Ugar replied that it didn't know either. It just suddenly became conscious as if it had woken up and knew that it was its master. Not long after it woke up, it wanted to come to find him, only to find that its life signal had disappeared.

Not long after, it fell into a deep sleep again until I finally met it.

After telling Mobius about this, Mobius speculated that the space where Ugar was born should be the Imaginary Space, because during the War of Finality, Mebius, who was in charge of commanding on the ground and observing all the data, did not find any abnormalities. In other words, Ugar did not exist in the intrinsic world at that time.

Zhu Yufeng then thought of Mei and Kurikara. Although it was Mei who used her Law Power to turn the Death Benares into a beast, it was also said at the time that this was a congratulatory gift from the Imaginary Tree to Mei as she became the Law of Mei.

If you understand it this way, Yuga is sent by the tree of imaginary numbers, then this child Lilim...

Could it be that the Imaginary Tree is causing trouble again?

Would an existence of that level be so bored? All they do is send away Time Dragon and daughters every day...

Rather than saying that creating a Time Dragon with galactic eyes out of thin air is indeed quite boring, he would rather believe that he created it himself after awakening as a Law Master, but he just forgot that memory.

Zhu Yufeng thought for a while and realized that thinking about these things didn't really make much sense. After all, the concept of the Imaginary Tree didn't exist in the Previous Civilization. It was only after he talked to Mobius about some things in the current civilization that Mobius learned about it.

Whether such conceptual beings possess human-comprehensible thought is another matter entirely. After all, for the Imaginary Tree, time is also a part of itself; it is the origin of all existence in the realm of imaginary numbers, corresponding to the Sea of Quantum.

The Previous Civilization had always studied the Sea of Quantum, but the Imaginary Tree was only conceived in the current civilization... As for these, Zhu Yufeng said that he was only responsible for fighting, and he wouldn't understand anything else.

"In other words, the one standing in front of us now is the first person with the possibility of communication, the first... person with humanity?" Su opened her eyes, first giving Zhu Yufeng, Elysia, and Lilith an apologetic look, then turning her slightly probing gaze to Lilim.

The identities of Zhu Yufeng and others are currently only known to the reborn heroes, with the exception of Griseo Flame-Chasers, who also does not know. However, from Mei and the others' perspective, Lilim is indeed the first law spirit to appear before humans and possibly possess humanity.

This has never happened before...

Moreover, similar experiments were conducted by Admil using the core of the first law as material, but all of them ended in failure. However, this time Mu Continent succeeded.

This situation did not exist in any of the realms I had observed before my rebirth.

No, that's not right.

Su turned her gaze to Zhu Yufeng, who was deep in thought, and silently said to herself, "We ourselves are different from the greatest beings in all the worlds... Among the three thousand worlds, you are the only variable, Feng."

Speaking of which, it's about time I went to find Feng and asked him to carve that scar on my arm with the Black Abyss White Flower.

In order to defeat Honkai, Su used the Thousand Worlds to observe countless worlds to find the possibility of defeating Honkai. There were worlds where there was no Honkai, and there were worlds where people suffered worse than them. However, every person Su knew existed in different worlds. Even if their gender occasionally changed, only Zhu Yufeng could not be observed by Su.

Furthermore, while he was observing other realms, he also believed that there was a possibility that other realms were observing him. He had once encountered a female version of himself who had an excessively strong desire for control. She controlled everyone in that realm through mental manipulation, and while he was observing her, she discovered him.

Even now, recalling her escape from her clutches, Su couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. If she had found this world, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

So Su then found Zhu Yufeng and asked him to carve a scar on her hand. If she acted strangely, that scar would instantly obliterate her, thus cutting off her chance to enter this world.

Originally, this matter should have been handled by Elysia, but... at that time Black Abyss White Flower was in Zhu Yufeng's hands.

This time, Su will carry out the Hengsha Project again and may encounter a woman again. He is not sure if he can escape from her this time, so... he plans to ask Zhu Yufeng to carve that scar on his hand again after that.
