"Elysia?" Eden called out.

"Hmm? Eden, is something the matter?" Elysia looked up at Eden and asked, as if she had just come out of her thoughts.

"Nothing, I just noticed you seemed to be thinking about something. However, compared to a few days ago, you do look much paler," Eden said with a smile.

Elysia sighed, her expression turning somewhat sullen again. "Aiai, I've never even slept with Feng... how could I not care? But there's nothing I can do. Even if Lilim is indeed Artificial Herrscher created by the Mu Continent, she's still Feng and Lilith's daughter... Anyway, just like Michael said, as long as Lilim is around, Lilith can't do whatever she wants, but without Lilim, Lilith wouldn't have the chance to sleep with Feng..."

Given the current situation, what can we do besides accept it?

So you might as well think about something else.

Pardo picked up her cup and took a sip of the black tea. Speaking of sleeping together, did she count as often taking naps with Brother Yu Feng in her past life? And if Seele and Michael truly have memories, they should remember that, right...?

After thinking about it, Pardo decided it was better not to talk about it.

Besides, it's just taking a nap together to be lazy, unlike Lilith who sleeps in the same bed with Brother Yu Feng at night...

"So why did Mu Continent conduct this experiment, and in the end, the successful child was that Dead Wood and Lilith's child?" Seele glanced at Elysia. "If it's because Dead Wood and Lilith are of the same kind, then Elysia should be too, right?"

"It's really not good. This matter can be traced back to the Mu Continent's investigation of the people around Yu Feng." Although Mobius was also somewhat frustrated and had the idea of creating a child of himself and Zhu Yufeng, he would never let go of any opportunity to mock Elysia. "Simply put, they first screened individuals with high Honkai Energy resistance, including Kevin. In the end, during the simulation, the experimental subjects formed by Lilith and Elysia with Yu Feng's genetic material both had a fairly high Honkai Energy adaptability. Then, they seemed to be more inclined to believe that Yu Feng and Lilith were more like lovers. In order to restrain Yu Feng, so... they finally chose Lilith."

"Tsk..." Seele was a little annoyed. Speaking of Herrscher, even if she hadn't fully awakened, she was still Herrscher body of a dead Herrscher. Her Honkai Energy resistance must be quite high. What were those people thinking?

[Is it possible that my other self is the most popular within the Fire Moth faction because of Elysia and Lilith?]

seele. "..."

I know! So what if I joined a little late?! Anyway, even if I joined late, there's always Michael to take the fall, and speaking of early and late, Elysia joined earlier but still lost to Lilith!

However, Elysia isn't actually that far behind; it's mainly because Lilith knows many things that others don't.

Who said that someone separated from that deadbeat after the Sixth Herrscher incident in their past life? They were indeed the first to meet, and if we don't count you and me, then Lilith had the most time together.

[... If the form of the God Key can also be considered companionship...]

Don't sabotage me...

Another part of her inner consciousness smiled gently and suddenly changed the subject.

Although you often complain, you don't actually hate your current life, do you? The real "me"? Our human existence should have ended a long time ago, but now, we can still stand on this land, basking in the sunlight. It is he who brought about this change for us, isn't it?

Hey, don't talk nonsense. What real "me"? We're all just seeles.

A soft laugh came from the depths of her consciousness. The other self fell silent. Seele sighed. The other self was always troubled by the reason for her existence. She always felt that she was created by Seele herself in order to better integrate into everyone, to better live and breathe with everyone. She always felt that she was only born for this purpose and was not the real Seele.

Like now, she rarely comes out. Every time she visits the children at the orphanage, I have to find a way to coax her out before she will. That's how she is. She always feels that she is her alternate personality and cannot take over the role of the main personality. She believes that the meaning of her existence is to guide her to integrate into this world.

Are you kidding me!

I am Seele, and you are Seele. We are one. There is no such thing as a primary personality or a secondary personality. We are all Seele, aren't we?

[...]

You like this world too, don't you? Then come out and soak up some sun! If all else fails, I'll find that blockhead and ask him to judge, let's see what he has to say! In his eyes, no matter how we change our disguises, he can always see through us, right? Doesn't he always think that we're... what was it again...?

[Each other...]

Yes, didn't you remember it very clearly?

Just as Seele was giving herself a pep talk, Vill-V, propping her head up with one hand and fiddling with a small gadget in the other, said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Lilith's Feather Dust's rated power is bound to Yu Feng's consciousness, so there are practically no secrets between them. Besides, they've always worked together seamlessly, so it's easy for ordinary people to assume that their relationship is more intense than others'."

Elysia: "..."

She... never mind, there's no point in dwelling on that. What she was just thinking about was whether it was truly possible for Herrscher to have children, but there was no precedent for it. Leaving aside the fact that there was only one male Herrscher in the current Abyss, Feng, even considering what happened in the post-Abyss, there were only three male Herrscher in Herrscher era. The first substitute Herrscher died too young, and while the second substitute Herrscher did get married after repeated sit-ups, the child was an adopted clone of the first substitute Herrscher ...

The Herrscher of the Rock died even faster after that; not long after its birth, its Herrscher Core was extracted and given to the Herrscher of the Ice for fusion.

There is not a single example that can be used as a reference...

She couldn't help but think about it, especially since it was Lilith's words that really stirred up this idea in her.

When Lilith was naming Lilim, Lilith mentioned that she hadn't expected it to be "that name," and Maple's expression clearly showed that the name did indeed have special meaning, but if you asked Maple, he probably wouldn't be willing to say...

So in the end, it was Lilith who told her.

Meiweis.

That's right, it's a very simple name with no special meaning. Unlike Lilim, who is the daughter of Lucifer and Lilith in the mythology of the other world, it's just a simple human name.

If one had to pinpoint its meaning, the name itself carries the connotation of "a divinely bestowed beauty."

As for the special meaning of this name to Feng, it is that it was originally the name he envisioned for himself and his daughter...

After listening to Lilith's explanation, Elysia knew that if she asked Zhu Yufeng would never reveal this embarrassing history, and besides... Lilith's previous regret that Lilim wasn't named that was because she wanted to take her daughter's name, right?!

"Don't look at me like that. After all, I have a daughter now. Although she's not my biological daughter, she's the only daughter that Feng and I have at the moment and are related by blood. What's wrong with choosing a name that Feng spent a long time looking through the dictionary to think of?" Lilith said to herself, spreading her hands.

At that moment, a long-lost sense of frustration welled up in his heart. According to Lilith, the name Meiweis was something Herrscher came up with when he was in charge of investigating the whereabouts of the First Herrscher incident. Although Feng himself had almost forgotten the events of that time, he still had a deep impression of the feelings when he came up with the name.

Back then, I even teased him about whether he had any ideas about developing a relationship with Seele...

"You were so generous back then, why are you so unwilling to let go now?" Lilith said, squinting at herself as she recounted the situation. "I find this very strange. You teased Feng about his relationship with Seele, and you also teased him about how popular he was with other girls from the Fire Moth. But why didn't you encourage Feng to pursue me when I was pursuing him? You would tease Feng a bit when other girls were with him, but you never said anything when it came to me. If you had just made that one suggestion, maybe my child with him would have been born in our past lives."

Elysia remained silent for a long time before saying with a hint of self-deprecation, "Perhaps it's because, even though I didn't realize what kind of feelings I had for Feng at the time, subconsciously I just felt that only you could really be with Feng."

In other words, aside from Lilith, whom even she herself believed could truly be with Zhu Yufeng, Elysia didn't care about anyone else, so she just made casual jokes.

Only for Lilith. In her previous life, Elysia never thought of bringing the two of them together, because she thought that if she tried to match them up, they would actually end up together.

In the beginning, Elysia would sometimes make light of things. For example, when Lilith held the first birthday banquet for Zhu Yufeng under the guise of "repayment" after the Eighth Herrscher incident, Elysia teased Zhu Yufeng, saying, "You should accept the girl's feelings."

But later... Lilith's feelings for Zhu Yufeng became more and more obvious, and more and more people on the Fire Moth were looking into their relationship, and it started to become a common opinion. Elysia stopped teasing him about it.

The most obvious example is when Lilith casually gave Zhu Yufeng Valentine's Day chocolates for some reason. When Elysia found out, she didn't tease him as usual, but instead changed the subject.

Normally, Elysia would have said, "Wow, it's chocolate a girl gave you for Valentine's Day~ Could it be love chocolate?"

But she chose to change the subject and pretend she hadn't seen it.

Not to mention the incident after the Ninth Herrscher, when Lilith confessed her feelings. It wasn't until this lifetime that Elysia asked Zhu Yufeng about the outcome of that confession; before that, she had assumed that if she didn't ask, there would be no answer...

In short, looking back at my actions in my past life, I'm just speechless... The more I recall those times, the more I want to say to my past self, "Why didn't you just ask?"

Furthermore, although everyone is still upset that Lilith could sleep with Kaede because of Lilim's feelings, in reality, Elysia and Lilith's relationship is actually quite good. Apart from their daily bickering and fighting, they get along quite well most of the time.

That's why Elysia asked Lilith about the name she mentioned. After all, Lilith had brought it up, clearly trying to pique her curiosity and entice her to ask her.

Although the two should be blatant rivals in love, Lilith does help Elysia learn more about Zhu Yufeng's situation. As for the others, they can only be tricked by Lilith and end up getting the short end of the stick...

This guy is acting like she's really my older sister... What a load of rubbish! What older sister would steal her younger sister's man?!

In short, Lilith explained to Elysia the special significance and origin of the name "Meiweis" for Zhu Yufeng, and then Elysia seriously began to consider whether it was possible for Herrscher to have offspring...

"So it really does have to be put into practice... After all, this is a name that Feng thought about so seriously, and, Meiweis... well, it is indeed a good name... Since Lilith's genetic material can indeed create an Artificial Herrscher with Feng's genetic material, Lilim should also be considered a descendant of two Herrscher, which means it should be possible, right..." Elysia thought.

Actually, Elysia hadn't really thought much about the matter of having offspring before. After all, she was more concerned with avoiding trouble with Lilith. But now... Lilith even has a child! And having been told that Zhu Yufeng had indeed considered the name of her and his child, it... was hard not to overthink it...

Seeing that Elysia remained silent and didn't respond, Mobius felt a little bored and turned his gaze to Aponia was quietly drinking tea, and said, "Aponia, aren't you supposed to be able to see that thing called fate? How come you didn't see this?"

Aponia put down her cup, her tone soft and calm. "Mobius, I should have said that by now, I can no longer foresee Ben's fate."

If she had known this would happen, she definitely would have stopped it without hesitation. Of course, she had no other thoughts; she just thought that Lilim's existence might disrupt the existing balance, nothing more.

Moreover, no matter how she viewed it, that person's predetermined fate remained unchanged...
