As Hua spoke these words, her expression became more confident—after realizing that she was actually able to complete such a long and arduous mission, this girl, who had always been somewhat self-doubting, could finally stand tall.

"Your existence is crucial to the Post-Civilization, so I need your participation in the process of Post-Civilization it."

Ai Yue explained, "However, this time you don't need to go through such a long life, but you still have a lot to do."

"Since I was already able to do it, with your help, I'm sure I can do even better this time."

Hua smiled and said, "So, you don't need to worry about me."

"In that case, do I need to do the same thing?"

Kevin asked from the side, "After all, I seem to be playing a very crucial role, right?"

Over the past two days, Kevin and Dr. Mei naturally found an opportunity to learn in detail from Kiana about the many impacts of the Pre-Civilization on the Post-Civilization in the original timeline.

Although Kevin found it hard to imagine himself saying something like "The Mara enters the abyss to save the world by drawing his sword" with a cold face, it didn't stop him from realizing that he was also a key factor in the Post-Civilization's ability to survive the calamity.

Not to mention, Kiana, or rather, the Kaslana family's source of power in the Post-Civilization... comes from herself.

If I fail to pass this power on to the Post-Civilization, then the timeline will likely be difficult to correct.

As Kevin pondered, he couldn't help but glance at Kiana again.

Although he already knew that the girl named Kiana was not his true descendant, but a copy of one of them, it did not stop him from treating her with the same care he would show to a junior.

Not to mention that as Dr. Mei's pregnancy became more and more obvious, Kevin also transformed from a helpless newlywed husband into a soon-to-be father who was full of energy and ready to show his fatherly love to his unborn child.

This paternal love, which had nowhere else to go, also drifted towards Kiana to some extent—although the young girl was still somewhat unable to accept this sunny and cheerful patriarch.

"Of course you should participate too,"

Ai Yue naturally understood what Kevin was considering, so he nodded, "However, the Kaslana family's problems might not actually require you to bring your child along."

"It sounds like this plan doesn't need to copy the original history entirely, right?"

Dr. Mei asked from the side, "No wonder we didn't see Su."

As the executor of the "Hengsha Project" and the "Observer Project," Sue may not seem to interfere much with the Post-Civilization, but as the key figure who delayed Kevin's execution of the "Stigmata Project" by more than a thousand years, his existence was indispensable in the original timeline.

But since it's not necessary to completely replicate everything that happened in the original timeline, there's naturally no need to add another person—after all, Su has a heavy responsibility to ensure that the Pre-Civilization doesn't go astray.

Especially during the period when Ai Yue was unable to take care of the Pre-Civilization, Su and Aponia, the two most powerful psychic beings, were responsible for taking care of the real world and monitoring the timeline, respectively. It can be said that neither of them could be missing.

Not only Su, but also Kalpas, Cosmo and others who did not survive to the next civilization were not summoned by Ai Yue. The only exception was probably Pardofelis - since the success rate was not 100%, Ai Yue still needed her outrageous luck to give himself some psychological comfort.

"So, what are the specific details of the plan?"

Kiana couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Ai Yue, what am I responsible for?"

"What you need to be responsible for is very important."

Ai Yue smiled and looked at the white-haired girl, "As a member of the Post-Civilization and the Herrscher of the End, your most urgent task now is to reclaim your power."

"Then, open up a completely new possibility."

"Like Otto?"

Kiana suddenly thought of someone she both hated and admired, "I remember, he once came into contact with the Imaginary Tree, and then..."

Kiana wasn't sure what would happen next, but she sincerely hoped the other person would succeed, because if the other person succeeded, it would mean that she would also have a chance to succeed.

No, I should say that I will definitely succeed!

"No, how could it be like Otto?"

Ai Yue shook his head and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "We will surpass him and create an unprecedented miracle."

The tone of the statement was somewhat arrogant, but no one felt it was inappropriate, because the person in front of them was the embodiment of miracles, and he had done things like forging the future more than once before.

This time, there's no reason for us to fail.

"Therefore, you need to become the Herrscher of the End once again."

After a brief pause, Ai Yue placed his hand on Kiana's shoulder and said, "I will send you to the space where the Cocoon of Finality is located, and you will need to undergo a test to gain the Cocoon's approval once again."

"I will do it."

Kiana nodded and spoke without the slightest hesitation.

Actually, she was a little uneasy, but the girl knew very well that she absolutely could not show this uncertainty.

Everyone went to such lengths because of her request. Kiana didn't even dare to think about how to repay such kindness. She only knew that if she couldn't even believe in herself, then wouldn't everyone's trust have been misplaced?

Kiana,

Hua nervously took a step closer and grabbed her hand. The girl opened her mouth, but in the end, she only managed to say three words, "Be careful."

Although they had only spent three short days together, Hua had already come to regard Kiana as her friend. Kiana's optimistic and lively personality reminded her of many things and taught her a lot.

At this moment, in the other person's eyes, he is probably the only close person in the world, so Hua should naturally support him as a friend.

Kiana only had time to turn her head and smile at Hua before she was teleported into the space where the Cocoon of Finality was located by Ai Yue's power.

"Oh, it's finally here?"

Before she could even steady herself, she felt a pair of hands supporting her, and at the same time, a sweet voice came from behind her. "Little Kiana, are you ready?"

"It's done!"

Although Kiana could no longer use the power of the Herrscher of the End, she still subconsciously responded loudly. However, the girl then realized who was talking to her, "Miss Elysia? Are you my opponent?"

Kiana remembered Yae Sakura telling her that the pink-haired woman in front of her was the Herrscher of Origin from the Pre-Civilization. So, with Ai Yue not around, the other party should be the one in control here.

"Of course not, he's just a referee."

Elysia said with a smile, pointing to the other side, "Your opponent is over there."

Kiana looked in the direction Elysia indicated and froze on the spot.

Standing opposite him was Mobius.

However, the aura emanating from the other person belonged to Ai Yue!

"No way?"

"Alright, once Kiana regains the power of the Herrscher of the End, we'll prepare to begin executing the plan."

After seeing Kiana off, Ai Yue looked at the others and said, "Before that, you can go back and make preparations, since you probably won't be able to come back for a long time."

After everyone else had left, Ai Yue sat down at the table with a serious expression. "Ai Yi, try the Quantum Calculation result again."

"Understood. Begin the 189,764,352nd calculation."

Ai's voice came along with the virtual screen lighting up, "... The calculation result is a failure, with a total success rate of zero percent."

Ai Yue's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already known this outcome. "Remove my factor from the calculation, add the special variable 'Ai Yue', and perform another round of calculations."

"Understood. Begin the second variant calculation; decimal places have been omitted."

Ai's voice came again, "The calculation result is successful, with a total success rate of 100%."

Is this reasonable?

Ai Yue couldn't help but frown. "It can only succeed when I'm not there but I am there. Am I some Schrödinger's cat?"

"The principle of Quantum Calculation is closer to divination. The specific process cannot be observed. From my point of view, although this deduction is of reference value, it is not very meaningful."

Ai said, "Perhaps you don't need to worry about this, after all, normal simulation results show that this plan is feasible."

That's what they say...

Ai Yue's brow did not relax because of Ai Yi's words. "But I always feel that something is wrong."

Quantum Calculation is less of a calculation and more of a quantum interference experiment, incorporating different things into the experiment to determine the feasibility of a matter based on the results. Since the process cannot be interfered with or even observed, Ai's words are not problematic; they are indeed more like divination.

But it is precisely because of this, coupled with Ai Yue's intuition, that he becomes even more vigilant.

There are many plans that appear to be without problems but are actually impossible to implement. Ai Yue himself has experienced this before. This situation is usually caused by ignoring key factors. But what factors do I lack but Ai Yue possesses?

Ai Yue frowned and picked up the calculation results again to review them repeatedly.

Just then, Ai Yi suddenly spoke up, "Doctor Ai Yue, a message has come from the 'Abyssal Eye' requesting your presence."

"Just let Suo handle whatever comes up."

Ai Yue waved his hand without looking up, "That guy probably knows more than I do now."

"The message was sent by Suo."

Ai said, "Suo also sent you a voice message—"

Then Ai closed her mouth and spoke in another voice that was not hers, "My Lord, please come here. I think there may be something you urgently need here."

Ai Yue raised an eyebrow, then disappeared from the spot.

There was no reason for Suo to deceive him, and given the extent of his understanding of the Sea of Quantum, if she said it was needed, then it might actually come in handy.

However, it seems he didn't tell Suo the specific details of this plan, did he?

While he was pondering, Ai Yue appeared in the Abyssal Eye. He looked up and saw that the light on the huge Teleportation Gate device was gradually dimming, obviously it had just been activated once.

"Isn't it still your vacation?"

Ai Yue turned to look at Suo standing to the side, "Could it be that you're that diligent?"

"If possible, I certainly hope that you would think that way."

So shook her head, a somewhat subtle expression on her face. "But actually, this Teleportation Gate... it was activated from the outside just now."

"Um?"

Ai Yue's eyes widened immediately. He then took the monitoring data from the Teleportation Gate and couldn't help but stroke his chin. "It really is... What exactly happened?"

"I don't know, at least the reason hasn't been analyzed yet."

Suo shook his head, then pointed to the control panel next to him, "However, we captured something, and it's reasonable to assume that someone wants to give it to you."

"For me?"

Ai Yue noticed Suo's choice of words, "How did you know it was for me?"

Sending something into the Abyssal Eye and giving something to Ai Yue are two different concepts. The former may be a low-probability coincidence, but the latter can be determined to be a deliberate act.

"Because your name is written on it."

Suo lowered her head slightly, "You'll have to go and see for yourself to find out the specifics."

Before Suo had even finished the first half of his sentence, Ai Yue had already impatiently walked to the control panel and picked up the object that looked like an envelope.

It was indeed an envelope, but it wasn't made of paper. Instead, it used some unknown material that wasn't recorded in Ai Yue's system. Nevertheless, the front of the envelope was written in Earth's language, "To the dear God of Multiple Earths: Mr. Ai Yue."

Putting everything else aside, the term "God of Multiple Earths," though quite strange, made Ai Yue's breathing quicken.

Clearly, the other party knew more than he imagined, and Ai Yue could deduce a lot from just this word.

But he didn't say anything; instead, he opened the envelope and took out what was inside.

With just one glance, Ai Yue's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

It was a butterfly specimen, half black and half white, which looked quite peculiar.

Next to the butterfly specimen was a note that read, "This is the best hint I can give—I think you can understand, right?"

It's not just understandable, it's absolutely understandable!

Ai Yue put down the specimen in his hand and glanced at the Sea of Quantum Teleportation Gate, which had completely stopped operating.

He already knew exactly where the problem lay.

Chapter 48: Damn it, I got spoiled!

The letter's message about the butterfly in the Sea of Quantum was so clear that it needed no further explanation. Ai Yue didn't even need to think; the first image that came to mind was that of the girl he had met once in the Sea of Quantum, Seele Vollerei.

After resolving the issue of the Cocoon of Finality, Ai Yue repeatedly ventured into the Sea of Quantum to search for the other party's whereabouts, but all his efforts were in vain. Even Suo, a local bigwig in the Sea of Quantum, was unable to find any clues about the other party, so the matter was temporarily shelved.

When Kiana appeared, Ai Yue realized that the reason he couldn't find Seele was probably because after changing the original timeline, the timelines of the two of them were separated again, making it difficult for them to meet even in the Sea of Quantum.

But this letter seemed to suggest that things were not so— Ai Yue could glean a lot of information from these few words.

For example, what does "God of Multiple Earths" mean?

This word sounds rather subtle, even comical. After Solar System, the solar system, let alone in the vast universe, is just a remote corner of the Milky Way galaxy, and Earth is just an inconspicuous planet in this remote corner.

However, once you add the word "multiple", the situation changes completely.

Even in the vast sea of stars, Earth is unique. Perhaps there is another planet with almost the same conditions, but it would not be Earth.
