Raiden Mei, the Mediator of a Major Family Dispute

The girl took a sip of orange juice. After gradually digesting the information in her Sea of consciousness, she could clearly perceive that her knowledge and cognition, and even her views and understanding of things, had undergone subtle leaps and changes.

Although his personality and character have not changed, it is undeniable that he has made significant progress in certain areas of his abilities.

What she found most difficult to understand was the drastic changes in her body.

In terms of appearance, they are naturally indistinguishable.

However, from the perspective of the core and essence, she has now undergone an extremely large change from the normal human life form. Her knowledge has grown to an extremely profound level, allowing her to peel back the layers and perceive the specific mysteries and true origins of things. She can also give accurate judgments and summaries by appropriately revealing the information in her memories.

Fusion Warrior.

To be precise, it was an extremely precise genetic modification surgery.

Raiden Mei did not gain any new abilities as a result; she simply became longer-lived and more adaptable to high-intensity Honkai Energy environments.

However, considering that the identity of the Herrscher was also preserved intact in the overwritten history under the pretext of an experiment, the only valuable thing about it is probably the extension of lifespan and eternal youth.

This is easy to understand.

Logically speaking, as a researcher who was released by Fu Hua to serve her about a hundred years ago, Mobius has the potential to become Mei. To reasonably replace him, Raiden Mei would need comparable qualifications to obtain the position.

Therefore, having a long lifespan is a prerequisite.

There are only two common ways to achieve longevity in this world.

One is to transform into Soul Steel, transplanting thoughts and souls, and using a non-human body to exist in the world forever.

Secondly, undergoing gene modification surgery can significantly extend various aspects of physical fitness and even lifespan.

It's quite obvious from this perspective that the latter is the only option if Raiden Mei wants to preserve her body and her identity and power as a Herrscher.

In short, she gained almost a hundred years of age and experience for this.

Su Qing'an essentially created a completely fictional history, overwriting the original reality with her own logic.

Even knowing that the other party had become a near-godlike being, Raiden Mei still couldn't help but feel amazed by this ability.

Now, not only does he possess the fully expanded Sky Net ladder and citizen level, but even his life experiences and knowledge as the head of the research department are overlaid on him from another timeline, allowing him to digest and accept them.

In a sense, she is now like Raiden Mei, who has combined most of Mei's abilities.

The reason I say "mostly" is because, in Su Qing'an's eyes, Mei and Raiden Mei are beings with different personalities. Even if their souls are the same, it cannot erase their differences and individuality.

Therefore, Su Qing'an did not choose to have Raiden Mei overlap as a record of Mei's life in the Previous Civilization, but instead, in another roundabout way, had her overlap another layer of soul record.

This prevented Raiden Mei from fully inheriting Mei's true talent.

After all, even if it's the same soul and has the same developed brain, a researcher's thought patterns and inspiration models are like a painting that God casually splashed onto a white wall with a bucket of paint. Unless you directly cover that layer of Mei's records, you can't completely and thoroughly replicate it.

Even so, with the enhancements to her power control from the Triple Reincarnation, and the knowledge to develop her power, plus the power gained from undergoing the Fusion Gene surgery, Raiden Mei has already undergone a complete transformation.

This was the limit of enhancement the boy could exert on her; such fabricated record alterations and overwriting could only be done once per person at most.

In cases like Satou Yunona's, who experienced five cycles of reincarnation without active reinforcement, further active overwriting could potentially lead to memory disorder and personality collapse.

After all, the reason why the other party's five reincarnations can exist is essentially because each timeline did not last very long, so the accumulated memories are not numerous or complicated. In addition, the sublimation of the soul has increased resistance to such matters, so it naturally will not interfere with the personality.

However, adding fictitious records that do not exist can affect the logic and authenticity of the records, leading to a chain reaction of cognitive collapse and causing personality distortion.

However, for Raiden Mei, the way Su Qing'an has integrated this layer of record is too gentle, and he has revealed the false nature of this layer of record from the beginning, so there will be no risks as mentioned above.

What she needs to consider now is how to handle and face the obligations and work that come with this identity, in addition to the convenience it brings.

The Minister of Scientific Research holds a position of immense power; within the entire Taixu Sect, aside from His Your Excellency, very few can rival him.

However, given the special nature of scientific research, one can imagine that this is a position that requires a great deal of work every day, almost year-round, with no holidays.

Raiden Mei's numerous licenses are practically nonexistent in this history overlaid with reality; she has almost no time to indulge in any spiritual or physical enjoyment.

The reason she still has time to watch Xiao Su play with animal crackers is simply because the other party has thoughtfully arranged for her to be on the longest vacation in a century, temporarily free from managing the many affairs of the research department, and is indeed quite leisurely at the moment.

But afterwards, Raiden Mei would probably have to deal with the series of interpersonal relationships she had accumulated over the past century. She glanced at the countless emails and messages on the virtual panel, sighed, and let the AI follow the system it had previously set to delete them in a hierarchical manner, leaving only a few emails with the highest priority.

What remains are seven or eight letters from friends in this world and colleagues from work, including a letter from Mobius.

However, after a quick look, it's mostly just routine greetings and work-related emails, all piling up there. Even during the holiday, they kept increasing and accumulating, and I imagine they'll keep me busy for quite a while after the holiday ends.

After having this thought, the girl shook her head vigorously.

Although it absorbs the memories and history of another virtual life from a cinematic perspective, the film, which is about a hundred years long, is enough to create a strong sense of immersion and a deep-rooted habit.

She also realized that she had inevitably encountered interference and influence from the accumulated records, but even if she realized it, it did not mean that she could completely ignore this false century of life.

Theoretically, the primary objective was to comply with Su Qing'an's request to investigate what had happened over the years. However, the subtle issue was that even though Su Qing'an himself could not alter his own history in this world to obtain all the information, he directly allowed Raiden Mei to obtain a great deal of information about it through the overwriting of recorded history.

As for the reason, as the head of the research department, she was also part of the team that established and perfected the Sin Domain Anchor Point, and had even met that Your Excellency many times under various circumstances.

Compared to his original situation as an outsider, this fabricated life, which included a total of one hundred years of historical memories, was almost enough to accomplish most of what Su Qing'an wanted to know.

This includes the true historical process of this world, the real actions Fu Hua committed, the current state of the world, and even the current location of Su Qing'an's physical body.

Raiden Mei hardly needs to do anything; simply by repeatedly perusing this treasure trove of memories, she can uncover many secrets that are difficult to explore.

And setting aside the current Your Excellency's numerous heinous crimes, the true situation of her and Su Qing'an's "daughter," the only Your Highness in this world, is thus revealed.

Su Muxi was imprisoned in the [Moon Worship Palace] for over seven hundred years. This secret, unknown to the general public, was revealed through Raiden Mei's personal involvement in the research proposal on how to lock up conscious life forms.

As is well known, the Sea of Quantum contains numerous World Bubble.

Most of them were once Leaf World that, for their own reasons, fell off the Imaginary Tree and eventually sank into this endless quantum sea.

The targets that His Your Excellency is currently conquering are basically World Bubble that retain a large amount of Honkai Energy.

Whether or not civilization needs to exist within it is completely unimportant.

In short, during the centuries-long conquest of the Sea of Quantum, the corresponding forces also encountered extremely special, even rare, World Bubble with wondrous powers, and experienced some kind of mutation.

The [Moon Worship Palace] that imprisoned Su Muxi was located within this extremely special World Bubble, from which even conscious life could not leave.

But this is also the last line of defense. The research project that Raiden Mei participated in was to forge a shackle on the ankle from a mysterious metal from outside the realm, without changing its soul-binding nature.

This isn't even the most troublesome part.

The location where this World Bubble is hidden is the most terrifying element.

That is, the pupil of the current Your Excellency.

This is also the core reason why the simple and crude Haotian Mirror could so easily and accurately locate the [Moon Worship Palace].

The spatial coordinates between the two are, in a sense, only a stone's throw away, so they can naturally be located and spied on at will.

However, neither Su Muxi herself nor Kiana and the others who had entered and exited the [Moon Worship Palace] several times were aware of this news.

Bronya underestimated the current Your Excellency's desire for control. Only by holding someone like Su Muxi, who has a close relationship with Su Qing'an, firmly in her grasp can she feel at ease.

If Fu Hua hadn't experienced a subtle change in her heart due to Su Qing'an's unusual behavior, Kiana and the others would probably have been captured long ago.

However, even with Raiden Mei's current status, it would be difficult to obtain accurate information about her companions' current situation.

She currently knows from the remaining video clips retrieved by the permission that Satou Yunona did indeed come to this world, and apparently gained new abilities due to the overlap of records.

After all...

Before this record was overwritten, Raiden Mei had seen news reports about Doctor Mobius and a group of researchers repairing the flaws in the Constraint Barrier.

Although she was on vacation, as the minister, she undoubtedly received reports on relevant information, and could even directly access Satou Yunona's citizen information before it was overwritten.

Combining this with the earlier [Kunpeng] explosion and the loss of the Herrscher of Reason's core, the relevant videos that were finally pulled out suggest that Kiana and Bronya arrived in this world before Yuno Sato.

As for where these three people are now...

That is indeed an unknown.

However, at least it's clear that the group wasn't imprisoned by the Taixu Sect and their lives are not in immediate danger.

Therefore, compared to Xiao Xi, the more crucial issue is Su Qing'an's physical condition.

Raiden Mei believes that only by restoring the opponent to full strength can the seemingly insurmountable and hopeless situation be truly changed.

Regarding this point, after learning about Su Qing'an's true situation and the real needs required for recovery, a breakthrough was found.

Since the boy's body requires a large number of demon corpses to complete the path of dimensional ascension, the purpose of the recent retrieval of the Sin Domain Anchor Point is self-evident.

And coincidentally, Raiden Mei's current identity makes it perfectly reasonable for her to obtain the relevant data.

The research department's maintenance plan for the recovery of the Sin Domain anchor points is updated almost daily, and she is very familiar with it. As long as she knows the corresponding landing points in advance and plants some spies, these demon corpses will eventually land near Su Qing'an's body.

When the time comes, she will need to bring Xiao Su with her, and all the problems will be solved.

All of this seemed to be quite easy to do, and she might not even need to go through all that trouble to reasonably use this identity to see Su Qing'an's body.

After all, in the eyes of the Taixu Sect, Raiden Mei was someone who had been implanted with a crystal since childhood, and whose ideological imprint was reinforced by the current Your Excellency himself. She was a pure and upright person, with absolutely no reason or ability to betray him.

The problem is...

The girl glanced at Xiao Su, who was playing Tetris, and thought that the other person might not want to see Fu Hua now.

Ultimately, everything His Your Excellency has done is for the purpose of bringing the person before him back to life.

Although it might seem a bit casual and absurd, Raiden Mei believes that directly confronting Su Qing'an with the other party would be the best way to resolve the current problem.

That Your Excellency cared nothing for power or anything else in this world; she only cared about her sleeping lover and what he would think of her and the world once Awakened.

She was unwilling to risk leaving the boy in a deep, unawakened sleep, so she chose the most extreme path, but she also did not want him to feel sorrow and remorse for the heinous sin she had committed.

She modified the genes of all humans in the world for this purpose, spent hundreds of years building signal towers that radiated to every corner of the sky and the earth, and even caused the Honkai of civilizations to conclude that this was no longer a civilization, thus ending the trials.

Raiden Mei suspects that Su Muxi might have been imprisoned for this reason as well.

However, after Su Qing'an's soul was separated and she gained a strange preview of the world's reality and past, the root of the conflict between the two no longer existed.

That Your Excellency no longer needs to maintain the signal tower's radiation, no longer needs to tightly control the book of life and death for everyone in the world, and even less needs to continue imprisoning Su Muxi in that [Moon Worship Palace].

All the entities that emerged from the [Lostbelt] phenomenon also allowed Su Qing'an to retract his Personal Record back to the beginning when they never existed.

This world is bad enough and beyond redemption, yet it can still be improved and a spark of hope can be rekindled, allowing humanity to once again become a civilization, shedding its original constraints and puppet status, like a green wasteland sprouting up.

But that Your Excellency would have to face Su Qing'an, who knew everything.

Su Qing'an will have to face a Fu Hua who is now completely unfamiliar to him, and a tragic world where he has been twisted and deformed to the point of being utterly distorted.

No matter how you look at it, things can never be the same again.

And...

This may be the real reason why Su Qing'an chose to entrust everything to Raiden Mei and voluntarily sealed away most of his thoughts and consciousness.

The boy was also unsure how to deal with Fu Hua in her current state.

Is it an accusation? Is it an attempt to atone for the tragedy that has plagued the world for seven hundred years?

He is the culprit who caused everything, he is the one who gave the other party the source of distortion and the impetus to move forward, and he is also the one who needed a large number of demon corpses to cause the current situation.

Anyone in this world has the right to question and condemn it, but only that Your Excellency cherishes it dearly, even at the cost of parting ways with his past self. Therefore, Su Qing'an is tainted by filth but still wants to save it, has no room for such explanations.

Su Qing'an couldn't bring herself to hate Fu Hua.

The only thing he could hate, despise, and loathe was himself.

Fu Hua, on the other hand, was in a similar situation. She was the person who understood Su Qing'an better than anyone else. No one could understand the sorrow and bitterness that would arise in Su Qing'an's heart when he knew all this.

She is a madwoman who confronts the Honkai and sounds the war horn, accelerating the progress of both sides, all in order to collect more demon corpses.

She was a tyrannical monarch who had conquered too many civilizations, suppressed heaven and earth with her own hands for hundreds of years, and was now the only one who reigned supreme in the world.

Even so, when it comes to the soft parts inside the armor, there is nothing that can be done.

Raiden Mei had roughly sorted out her current thoughts, but strangely found that she no longer had much of a goal to take. She sighed and glanced at Su, who was still playing with animal crackers, her gaze gentle yet tinged with a hint of helplessness.

Xiao Su sensed the lingering gaze, looked up in confusion to meet it, his innocent eyes revealing a hint of bewilderment. He picked up a cookie, handed it to the other person, and said softly:

"Mei, have a cookie."

The girl smiled and took it, but felt even more troubled.

She now vaguely realizes that she is not a warrior or savior here to handle world-class crises and desperate situations, but rather a mediator dealing with a large-scale family dispute.
