Su Qing'an: Mei, Help Me.

The deep-sea region of the Arctic Ocean.

The girl's graceful body lines were clearly revealed by the wetsuit, and her white hair, as white as fresh snow and as white as moonlight, spread out in the dark water, seemingly shrouded in a faint mist.

Kiana felt the chill creeping into her bones, breathing in the air from the oxygen tank, and with a burst of energy, she plunged into the depths like a fish.

Within her Sea of consciousness was a Pure white feather, modeled after Udu-dust, sharing the locations of the others and the connection with the Heart Seal through an Invisible link of power.

The Sea of Quanta is very close.

A day earlier, the group had confirmed that the Sea of Quanta was located at these coordinates, but its depth was much greater than previously estimated, even exceeding the range of the Nano rune patrols.

This is not due to the production and cost limitations of Nano rune, but rather due to the excessive Fishing-type aquaculture, which has led to a permanently swirling Honkai Energy phenomenon in those deep seas. The terrifying cold waves roll endlessly, enough to freeze and crack the material of the Nano rune, interfering with signal transmission, making it unnecessary for this network to be woven beneath.

Of the three, neither Bronya, who is twenty-nine years old, nor Satou Yunona, who has not improved her physical abilities after five reincarnations, possesses the ability to withstand this level of cold air. Only Kiana, who inherited Kaslana's bloodline, has the powerful physique to descend to such a depth using her physical body and equipment.

Therefore, this important task can only be entrusted to Kiana at present.

Bronya considered trying to create a small submarine directly using the power of the Herrscher of Reason, but the noise and Honkai Energy fluctuations generated when creating such a product would be difficult to conceal. As for the plan to manufacture it directly on the island and then transport it from the deep sea to the corresponding area, it was also rejected by Satou Yunona using the Future vision of the Timeline.

Overall, aside from the cumbersome method of physically reaching that extremely deep sea, the group was helpless due to numerous restrictions.

Even without deliberately pursuing him, that Your Excellency's control over this world is already terrifying enough.

If it weren't for Satou Yunona's Cheating operation of using [Object-in-Itself] to observe the Timeline, the group would likely have already overturned on their way to the Arctic Ocean, forcing them to rely on force to hide.

For the first time, Bronya and Kiana experienced the hardships that truly outsiders face in this world.

Previously, they could still obtain protection and a certain degree of freedom under Su Muxi's permission and wing.

After Fu Hua noticed them at the [Moon Worship Palace] last time, the group had to disable their previous channels and identity information for safety, and once again drifted on the Grey edge of this world as Undocumented Resident, enduring a difficult life of wandering.

As for Satou Yunona, she hadn't had much rest before returning to a life of hiding, which she seemed to have grown accustomed to.

In a sense, although this team has all sorts of powers, the biggest contributor to their ability to survive this long without being discovered is the Future vision that observes the Timeline.

This ability avoids all risks to the extreme, filters out unnecessary possibilities, and painstakingly discovers a set of disordered rules from the dark and dense forest, dodging layers of inescapable traps with daring maneuvers.

Even now, it still has value in playing a role.

Satou Yunona's voice rang in my ears:

"Kiana, in three seconds the surrounding Nano rune will begin their routine alternation calculation. Seize that moment and use your power to accelerate, otherwise your body won't be able to continue descending."

Upon hearing this, the girl calmed herself down. Kaslana's bloodline seemed to have an innate and superior patience and resistance to cold air. Even the death temperature that would freeze an ordinary person's blood pressure was just like the feeling of an ordinary person wearing short sleeves in Air conditioner.

Therefore, her condition was better than Satou Yunona had imagined, but she was indeed gradually becoming overwhelmed.

1, 2, 3.

Before the countdown ended, Kiana drew a clear cross on the bottom of her pupils through her diving goggles. The spatial trajectory, like dense lines, entered her field of vision, resembling a series of abstract oil paintings, with overlapping blocks of color and traces.

The Sea of Quanta is a more rugged and obvious circle in this abstract painting. In the instant the countdown ended, she stretched out her palm in that direction, and the Honkai Energy within her core surged in like a river, prying open the laws and authority of the world, and finally firmly grasping a trace of space.

The next second.

The white-haired girl vanished from the spot in that sea area, directly bypassing layers of restraints and arriving at the frigid domain that even the Mayfly Rune could not reach.

But precisely because the monitoring was lost, Kiana no longer needed to restrain herself. She immediately used the Honkai Energy Shield to adhere to the surface of her skin, preventing her body from being eroded by the terrifying cold current.

She lowered her gaze, and in the depths of that Lightless sea, a World Bubble, floating like a round bead, was demonstrating its unique presence.

Kiana's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she calmly whispered:

"Our intuition is correct; the Sea of Quanta is right here."

"Yuno, use the Timeline to observe whether any fluctuations will be detected when I use the Herrscher of the Void's power to open the portal with you later."

Satou Yunona was silent for a moment, then, after completing her observation, she replied:

"I don't foresee a future where we'll be discovered, so let's do it."

Kiana was finally relieved after hearing this.

She had previously embedded Spatial coordinate system and an energy condensate on the two of them as fixed anchor points.

Therefore, as long as one manipulates their powers within this intense Honkai Energy phenomenon, there is a high probability that they will not be detected, and they can also minimize the fluctuations generated on the other two sides by using their own side as the axis.

However, until this moment arrives, whether Satou Yunona's theory and judgment are correct using the Timeline remains an unknown.

For the few who have been working hard and lying low until now, this kind of choice is like putting new blocks on top of an ever-growing stack of building blocks—it carries too much risk.

But Future vision was able to dispel this concern, allowing the plan to proceed smoothly as scheduled.

A cross trembled within her eyes. Her Herrscher Core communicated with the rules of nothingness, wielding the power of space with a mortal body. Following this unseen connection, she directly created a portal shimmering with purple light beside her.

Satou Yunona and Bronya entered through the portal one after the other. They glanced at each other, held hands, and moved to the side of the World Bubble, surrounding it. Finally, they stretched out their palms together, covering and overlapping the strange, bead-like space.

Then, with the next breath, a soft radiance broke through the darkness of the deep sea and entered the three people's field of vision.

In the vast sacrificial ground, three girls with different appearances descended from the sea. As pure Herrscher, they all possessed the instinctive ability to fly, hovering in mid-air almost before touching the ground, surveying their surroundings.

Satou Yunona blinked and said:

"This is... the Sea of Quanta?"

Bronya landed lightly on the ground, skillfully using her Herrscher of Reason powers to create clothing for each of the three, handing it to Kiana and Satou Yunona respectively.

So, the girl used Honkai Energy evaporate the Seawater that had stained her body, put on a black hoodie printed with HOMU, thus concealing her overly full breasts, and covered the curves of her hips with a pleated skirt. When she bent over, she changed the material of her wetsuit to a more comfortable and lightweight velvet.

Yes, for short, black stockings.

She smoothed her slightly damp hair, reminiscing about the past, and said softly:

"I remember this is the sacrificial site beneath the World Serpent Headquarters. The facilities for Sea of Quanta are a bit further ahead."

Kiana removed her equipment, and the Honkai Energy, like a blood shock, evaporated most of the Seawater and Cold air from her body. She put on a convenient pilot jacket and fastened the buttons one by one with her slender fingers.

During this time, the girl allowed Bronya to thoughtfully use her powers to change the material of her underwear, directly replicating dry undergarments, and finally covering her leg lines with blue jeans.

She said softly:

"Let's go take a look. It might not be that easy to take the Class President away."

Satou Yunona nodded in agreement. She was being taken care of by two people almost simultaneously, and her clothes had already been changed, making her look like the Team favorite.

However, none of them expected that the familiar Class President would not be greeted when they entered the Sea of Quanta.

Instead...

A Pink Fairy Lady is unusually enthusiastic for some reason.

The scene shifts to the other side.

After watching the news constantly switching channels on the building's surface for half an hour, Raiden Mei silently reinforced another layer of measures to prevent her powers from interfering with external forces.

Although [[Ashes]] probably didn't anticipate this situation, his advice was remarkably prescient.

The Lostbelt phenomenon has been present in this world for half a year, and the official government's attitude towards it has gradually changed from disbelief to acceptance, and they have strengthened their defenses.

According to the news, the Taixu Sect has deployed an ark-like warship called [Dragon Court] on the outer edge of the world, and it seems to have the ability to detect potential individuals with extremely high Honkai Energy literacy.

Moreover, judging from the World Cup matches featuring university teams and college teams, the technology possessed by [Dragon Court] is probably already extremely mature, and over countless years, it has gradually created clear levels for people to distinguish.

Citizen Rank, Honkai Scale, Personal Crystal Licensing Rights, Sky Net Ladder, Prosthetic Licensing Rights...

Raiden Mei had only just arrived in this city and stood atop a shopping mall, watching what appeared to be a midday news broadcast, when she heard a bunch of terms that, upon closer examination, were quite meaningful.

The girl didn't want to look back and see the expression on Su Qing'an's face.

The current situation is already beyond expectations.

The former Immortal Chi Yuan used the Taixu Sect as a tool to dictate the world. In order to quickly collect enough demon corpses and enable Su Qing'an to successfully Awakened, he did not hesitate to force the whole world into a deformed state where people lived according to this rule, becoming a tyrant that everyone admired and feared.

Raiden Mei's feelings were complicated.

That Your Excellency frantically created numerous farms, disregarding whether the Honkai would escalate and harm innocent people, as if a saint tainted by the Polar day had rolled around in hell, losing all compassion and gentleness.

That Your Excellency the ethics and morality of the world, ignores the principles and principles he has upheld in the past, uses all things as chess pieces, and heaven and earth as a gambling game, conquering countless World Bubble that exist in civilization, piling up mountains of corpses and seas of blood, yet he remains cold and arrogant, without any remorse.

She inscribed the Honkai index into the law, making it a citizen's ordinance, and Honkai humans with low Honkai awareness as nothing.

She dragged the whole world into her own selfish desires and fantasies, killed her past self, and used the fruits of countless lives and bones to worship the only remaining treasure in her heart.

Raiden Mei had heard the story of [Chaoxian] and had also heard most of Su Qing'an and Fu Hua's past. She had a certain degree of empathy for it, but in the end, she was still an outsider.

If an outsider cannot accept such a world and its current state, how would Su Qing'an himself, the cause of all this, view such Your Excellency and world?

The girl understood that even after experiencing many hardships and dangers she was unaware of, Su Qing'an was still the same fool as before, still the same idiot who would take on all the responsibilities and burdens on her own, just like Kiana.

Such a person is never good at asking for help. He is the kind of fool who, deep in the swamp, in the darkness and hopeless despair, will still laugh and drown alone, unwilling to let his friends be in any danger.

However, when others are in the same situation, they will show the exact opposite attitude and enthusiasm as they do towards themselves, and may even risk their lives for it.

So after regaining her memories of the other person, Raiden Mei couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when she looked back at the history and past of [[Ashes]].

From the very beginning of her acquaintance with Su Qing'an until now, she realized that he had always been a twisted being who could recklessly sacrifice himself for others, without desires or wants, like a saint, yet completely indifferent to his own existence.

Therefore, such a teenager will not ask anyone for help.

But his gentleness toward the world, his help and enthusiasm for others, and the warmth and radiance he bestowed upon things unrelated to himself were by no means meaningless past experiences.

One day, all the light will flow backward for him.

Does my existence here signify that, in the grand scheme of things, a tide of brilliance is flowing against the current to bring me here?

Raiden Mei silently turned her head back.

The boy sat on the edge of the building, his dangling feet dangling above a world of All living beings he had never seen before. His eyelashes drooped, and a pale golden halo shimmered in his pupils, revealing a touch of illusory fragility, yet also a gentleness that made him seem like a deity descended from the mountains and seas.

She gazed at the person's silhouette, which appeared almost transparent in the light, making it difficult to discern whether their heart held a profound sorrow and loneliness, like a raging river.

She wasn't there when that person died alone, his limbs mangled in the Nine Nether.

She wasn't there when that person lost the person they cared about in Canghai City, was covered in wounds, and was abandoned by the whole world.

That person burned away all their Stigmata organs, encountered their beloved again who had become an apostle, and was ultimately forced to kill them with their own hands. Even when no [Ashes] remained in that era, she was still gone.

Raiden Mei is confused.

Even now, she still doesn't know where she'll end up or what her final fate will be.

She feared being permanently left behind in this unfamiliar era, forever unable to see her family and friends, and experiencing loneliness and desolation.

She feared that, like the Little Mermaid in the fairy tale, she would eventually turn into a bubble in the ocean, forgotten by everyone.

But even so, it doesn't matter.

But even so, it doesn't matter.

Despite the burning anxiety and fear in her heart, the girl resolutely reached out to help this person.

She silently walked to his side and sat with him on the edge of the high-rise building, where the wind was howling. Gazing at the Floating tower in the distance, she whispered:

"Let's go see the Class President."

Su Qing'an stretched out a finger towards the distance, as if pulling away some of the radiance. His expression was calm, yet it seemed to conceal turbulent waves. The arc of light that had spread across his pupils faded, returning to a deep stillness. He said softly:

"Um."

The boy glanced at the light flowing down his palm like water, letting it dissipate into threads that flowed into the minds of those around him. He whispered:

"This is a personal crystal that I created by using my Manas consciousness to collect common sense and knowledge about the humans in the lower world, and by controlling and overwriting records. It contains your legitimate identity in this world and all your past records."

"The licensing authority and citizen level of the Sky Net Ladder have been raised to the highest level, and the required Honkai indicators have been modified to not require delivery for ten years."

Raiden Mei could sense a mass of information within her Sea of consciousness, which was being digested at any time. It was gently seeping into her cognition in a way that did not interfere with the progress of her thoughts. Meanwhile, an external object was slowly being constructed from her flesh and blood.

This kind of power, which uses individual will to interfere with the world's past and future, has reached a level that is simply incomprehensible.

But when she looked at Su Qing'an, who had suddenly become even more transparent, she couldn't help but feel worried.

The opponent was already severely injured and in a fragmented state, so this action obviously had a negative impact on their injuries in various ways.

But Raiden Mei had to admit that this was a necessary decision to integrate into this world. Suppressing her inner anxieties, she asked:

"How are you?"

Su Qing'an said honestly in a soft voice:

"Hmm, not good."

"After this, I probably won't be able to be lucid for about a third of the time like before."

"I probably won't return to a clear-headed mode of thinking unless it's absolutely necessary."

The boy's whispers were as light and gentle as if scattered in the wind, yet they inexplicably gave people unwavering strength and courage.

"But there's no need to be afraid, Mei."

"I've always been by your side. Being out of it doesn't mean I'm powerless to do anything."

Su Qing'an's eyelids drooped, as if she were feeling sleepy, and she said softly:

"I want to know, what has happened over the years..."

It seemed to be the first time in his life that the boy had made a request to someone. He slightly curled his lips and said softly:

"Please help me, Mei."

She had never heard such a plea for help from anyone before, and it fell so lightly. She felt as if the words were as light as wisps of cloud brushing past her ear, yet as heavy as a thunderbolt that crashed down on her heart, echoing for a long time.

The girl was stunned for a long, long time upon hearing this. Her brows and eyes softened, her lips moved, and she whispered with a smile:

"OK."

"I'll help you."
