Chapter 291

Kiana responded as she stood up. Her injuries were healing rapidly, clearly due to the effects of her Herrscher authority. "However, Dr. Mobius is right."

The girl grasped the greatsword constructed from the First Herrscher's power and said firmly, "I'm very strong!"

More importantly, I have come to understand the key to this trial.

Kiana swallowed the rest of her sentence, a bright and determined smile appearing on her face.

What followed was a terrifying gravity suddenly imposed on her, and dazzling lightning so bright it almost blinded her.

Faced with such an offensive, Kiana gripped her weapon tightly but deliberately closed her eyes.

In that instant, she seemed to recall the feeling she had when she first came into contact with the Cocoon of Finality.

It's not that she has to go through trials to gain the cocoon's approval, but rather that only by gaining the cocoon's approval can she have the opportunity to pass the trials.

It's such a simple thing, yet it took Miss Elysia and Dr. Mobius to remind me repeatedly before I realized it. I really am an idiot, aren't I?

However, even fools have their advantages—that is, they never give in to difficulties!

The next second, Kiana suddenly opened her eyes, and countless rays of light burst forth from her body, shooting straight into the sky like a rainbow. Under the shimmering light, both electricity and gravity instantly crumbled.

Soon, the colorful rainbow changed again, eventually transforming into a unified, deep purple.

A strong will finally united the powers into one, and at this moment, Kiana once again "saw" the Cocoon of Finality.

When the light finally faded, what appeared before Mobius was the new Herrscher of Finality.

"It seems there's no need to continue."

Mobius finally smiled slightly. "Well, you really are quite straightforward."

"Thank you for the exaggeration. I don't have many strengths, but this counts as one."

Kiana smiled, but then pointed her sword at Mobius. "However, Dr. Mobius, before Professor Ai Yue arrives, may I continue to ask you about the use of Herrscher authority?"

"Since you are so eager to learn, then I naturally have no objection."

Upon hearing this, Mobius raised an eyebrow, and a pure white light shone from his body once more. "However, this time it's completely different from before."

The next second, the pure white and pale purple light collided once again!

Chapter 50 You are all my Herrscher.

"This should be the last time, right?"

After watching the butterfly disappear from sight for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Ai Yue finally uttered a calm question.

However, Suo dared not utter a sound and could only lower her head to solve the mystery—because at this moment, although Ai Yue's voice was still relatively calm, his expression could be described as ferocious, and it was clear that his emotions were not as stable as they sounded.

However, this is understandable. After all, they have been following this broken butterfly for who knows how long, and they have encountered all sorts of traps along the way. Even Suo is finding it hard to keep up, let alone Ai Yue, who is known for his straightforwardness.

For him, having the patience to unravel these messy mysteries, even without having to solve them himself, was undoubtedly a form of torture.

The reason he can still barely control his emotions is mainly because he can learn something from the design of these mechanisms.

The mechanisms set up by that mysterious sender included some meticulously crafted World Bubble containing teleportation devices that could transport people to another World Bubble; others would guide Ai Yue and Suo to powerful quantum beings, requiring them to extract new information from the other beings to complete their navigation routes; and still others...

It was precisely because Ai Yue could sense that the person who created these mechanisms seemed to want to teach him something through this method that he was able to patiently wait until now; otherwise, Ai Yue would probably have already gone berserk before the fifth mechanism.

Even so, he has now reached his limit.

Just as Ai Yue was Ai Yue whether to seize the butterfly and refine it instantly, a relieved voice finally came from ahead. "My Lord, this should be the end."

Ai Yue looked up and saw that the butterfly that had been guiding them forward had finally turned into specks of light and disappeared. The fragments of light then filled the broken Teleportation Gate in front of Suo, allowing it to unfold completely.

This guy is really pushing my patience to its limit, isn't he?

Realizing that this might also be part of the other party's plan, Ai Yue almost laughed out of anger.

"I never imagined that 'information' could be used in this way."

Looking at the Teleportation Gate completed by the information contained in the butterfly, even Suo couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment. "It seems that my understanding of the Sea of Quantum is still too shallow."

"After all, it is an existence of the same level as the Imaginary Tree. It will take a long time to fully master it."

Ai Yue shook his head slightly, but a smile appeared on his face. "But that's precisely why it's meaningful."

I clearly said "understand", so why did it become "master" to you?

Suo stared blankly at the smile on Ai Yue's face, then couldn't help but smile back.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of spirit that we are able to create such miraculous achievements?

The thought flashed through her mind, and then she bowed her head respectfully. "You can do it, my My Lord."

"I'm starting to daydream again... No matter what, I have to start with what's in front of me."

Ai Yue smiled, composed himself, and stepped into the Teleportation Gate. "At least, let's get everything we can do done first."

Conquering the trees and the sea—that goal is simply too far-fetched.

But if we can successfully complete this current plan, wouldn't that be considered a step towards our goal?

With these thoughts in mind, Ai Yue entered this carefully hidden World Bubble.

As soon as he entered, Ai Yue sensed something was wrong.

As far as the eye could see, the land was barren and the sky was gloomy, looking like every World Bubble on the verge of destruction, with no signs of any life activity.

However, Ai Yue could still see that in the center of this wilderness, there stood a man-made building.

That must be where Seele is, it looks like a castle?

"My Lord, can you feel it?"

Following behind Ai Yue, Suo whispered a reminder, "Everything here is still."

Although this cannot be directly observed from the scene before him, he had seen so many different kinds of World Bubble before, so he could still sense something unusual.

"Yes, this is not the complete World Bubble, but a 'frame' of a certain World Bubble."

Ai Yue nodded. Being familiar with various powers, he naturally saw things more clearly than Suo. "There is no concept of time here, which is why this feeling occurs."

This is not hard to understand. After all, if you want to hide someone's traces as much as possible, you must first make the other person "fall asleep". After all, as long as a person is awake, they will have all kinds of needs. Even if physical needs can be easily met, spiritual emptiness can easily cause problems.

Therefore, freezing the time of the other party along with the entire World Bubble is the best way—this way, there's no need to worry about the problem of "deterioration".

Ai Yue and his companion soon arrived at the castle. The building, which looked quite grand on the outside, was just an empty shell. There was no complicated structure inside, only an empty hall and a coffin-like box standing in the center of the hall.

So seemed to be truly dedicated to playing the role of a "loyal servant," so she rushed to touch the box before Ai Yue, as if she wanted to check for risks for her master, and carefully inspected it.

Then she discovered a problem. "My Lord, this box doesn't seem to be able to be opened normally?"

The box was not locked, and there wasn't even a latch. From the surface, it just looked like a board was casually placed on top.

Even so, Sa couldn't lift them up, as if they were actually a single entity.

"Oh, so that's why there weren't any security measures. So that's where it is."

Ai Yue placed his hand on the box, then revealed a knowing expression, "Remember what I said earlier, this is actually just 'one frame' of the World Bubble?"

"You mean..."

Suo wasn't stupid either; with Ai Yue's prompting, she immediately realized something. "It doesn't exist here at the time it was opened?"

"That's roughly the idea. You can think of it as the box being just a backdrop; it doesn't actually have the function of being opened."

Ai Yue closed his eyes, seemingly sensing the internal structure. "Of course, it's possible to force it open, but that would trigger the internal mechanisms, directly expelling people from the World Bubble."

"This works?"

Suo, who wasn't very familiar with the power of time, blinked. "Then how do I open it?"

"It's very simple. Just use this frame of the world as a basis to create the future."

Ai Yue casually remarked, "In other words, this is the final test—testing whether those who come here possess the ability to create the future."

As his words fell, Suo suddenly felt an invisible "wave" sweeping outwards from Ai Yue's body in all directions.

As the waves appeared, the eerie stillness vanished without a trace, and the World Bubble seemed to come alive, becoming vibrant again.

Suo subconsciously lifted the cover in her hand, and this time there was no resistance, it was even unbelievably light - after all, after being given the concept of the flow of time again, what Suo held in her hand was just an ordinary board.

As the lid fell to the ground, the girl inside the box appeared in front of the two of them.

The other person's appearance and attire were exactly the same as when Ai Yue last met her, as if the two of them had actually met just yesterday. The only difference was the blue butterfly hair clip worn on the girl's head.

That was a gift Ai Yue had given the other party last time—a device that could pinpoint the other party's location.

However, it now seems that the existence of this thing has actually caused a significant change in things.

"Remember what I taught you, Seele —the next time you open your eyes, it will be time for you to create your own future."

When Seele opened her eyes again, the words that had been echoing in her ears seemed to have just faded away.

But she knew perfectly well that it had happened a long time ago.

A faint sadness flashed through the girl's heart, but it was quickly replaced by a firm will—after experiencing a series of changes, she was no longer the little child who could only follow behind her Sister Bronya and cry whenever she encountered difficulties.

Now, she is going to take back everyone's future!

Along with this thought, what Seele was seeing at that moment also flooded her mind.

The familiar yet unfamiliar man, dressed in his usual white coat, appeared before her, looking at her with concern.

It was Mr. Ai Yue at that time—he finally found himself!

Seele smiled unconsciously, but at that moment she saw the woman standing next to Ai Yue. When she saw the woman's appearance, the girl immediately became wary.

Before she could even stand up from inside the box, she summoned a huge scythe and slashed it down at the woman's head!

"Mr. Ai Yue, please be careful!"

As she brandished her weapon, Seele reminded Ai Yue, "Don't be fooled by her... Huh?"

Seele's words were cut short as Ai Yue stepped in front of the woman, blocking her attack.

"Calm down, Seele."

Looking at the somewhat surprised girl, Ai Yue couldn't help but glance helplessly at Suo, who had an innocent expression. "Although I don't know what happened to you before, you don't need to worry now. She's an ally now."

Then, under Seele's incredulous gaze, Ai Yue gave her a brief explanation of the situation.

"I never expected something like this to happen."

Even after hearing Ai Yue's explanation, and even after seeing the serene expression that Suo was displaying—an expression she would never have shown before— Seele was still somewhat bewildered. "You mean... she has reformed now?"

Seele didn't know what kind of expression she should show at this moment, but she was certain that if what Ai Yue said was true, then the woman in front of her was actually many times more dangerous than the person she thought she was.

This is actually the real thing—but now it's following Mr. Ai Yue so obediently, isn't that a bit too outrageous?

"I can't say whether he's reformed or not,"

Ai Yue shrugged. "But under my supervision, he should be in the process of reforming now."

"Please have faith in me, my My Lord, I have truly reformed."

As he emphasized this, he bowed respectfully to Seele. "This... Miss Seele, I don't remember what I did to you, but if you have any complaints about me, please feel free to vent them on me!"

Seele looked at Suo, then at Ai Yue, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Thinking about it carefully, since it's Mr. Ai Yue, it doesn't seem surprising, right?

"There's no need to vent. Let's leave this matter here for now."

After opening her eyes again, Seele put away the giant scythe in her hand. "After all, now is not the time to dwell on these things, right?"

After composing herself and calming the other Seele of her heart, the girl smiled at Ai Yue again, "Mr. Ai Yue, I..."

She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to start speaking.

To be honest, Seele had imagined reuniting with Ai Yue, since he was the only one who could help her return to the real world. But she really didn't expect that their reunion would be like this.

Well, it's because the difference from what I imagined is just too great.

"You're a little unsure what to say, aren't you?"

Ai Yue smiled, a somewhat subtle expression on his face. "To be honest, I never imagined things would turn out this way, so let's skip the small talk—how much do you know about the current situation?"

"There was something wrong with the era I lived in, wasn't there?"

Seele quickly adjusted her mindset and then said, "And you want to save it, so you need my help."

"It seems you've been through a lot without my knowledge."

Ai Yue raised an eyebrow. "Fine, I have a rough idea of what happened. In short, you're right."
