Mobius, watched over by Abundance, Erudition, and Destruction all at once

"Then you should slow down."

"We can't slow down, after all... time waits for no one, if we don't enjoy the present moment, we'll be old."

"That's right... Grandma Elysia, who is over 50,000 years old."

"... That's the age of the stand-in, not my age."

"Oh, so you've awakened your Stand?" Chen Li asked.

"Not yet, but it will happen eventually, won't it?"

"I don't think so. Speaking of which, what happened with you being glanced at by the Aeon of Beauty? Will you be able to complete the Beauty Trial today? Are you going home?" Since he had run into Elysia, Chen Li didn't forget to ask about these important matters.

Currently, the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou are all projections. If they want to continue staying on the Xianzhou, they need Chen Li to renew their subscriptions.

"It's a long story..." Elysia slowed her pace and began to recall the first time she was glanced at by the Aeon of Beauty.

"You mean, you just stood at the highest point and glanced at the Xianzhou teeming with people and dotted with Starskiff, and the Aeon of Beauty glanced at you?"

"Yes."

"What does the Aeon of Beauty look like?" Chen Li asked curiously.

"I've forgotten. I only remember what I said at the time."

What did you say at the time?

Wow, what a cute girl!

"???"

Elysia embarked on Path of Beauty. Elysia was noticed by the Aeon of Beauty, Elysia pressed her attack, Elysia beginning her trials of Beauty...

Chen Li felt that this was even more unreasonable than being targeted by the Aeon of Intellect for creating a Miraculous Item.

But when Chen Li thought about how the Aeon were a group of special individuals who didn't play by the rules, he felt relieved.

"You might actually awaken a substitute that records your future. Perhaps Path of Beauty saw your future, which is why it so readily opened the Beauty Trial for you. Or perhaps you saw your own future, understood your destiny, and in this new destiny, you intend to walk a better path..." Chen Li hesitated, wanting to say more but stopping himself.

If anyone manages to embark on the Path of destiny governed by the Aeon, they will receive his distant perception, like a glimpse cast across light-years of the Milky Way.

So even though the Aeon died, the Path continued to function normally.

Currently, there are two ways to become Emanator.

One is a gift from the Aeon himself.

Another scenario is when the Aeon is no longer involved (whether he has fallen or has completely given up), and one's own will and Path overlap, and one's own will is strong enough to go further on this path and absorb enough power from Path.

The former situation is very common, whether it is the generals of the Xianzhou Alliance or the Great Extinguisher under Nanook.

The latter situation is also quite common, such as the Envoy of Nothingness to the Acheron...

The Preservation Emanator in the Strategic Investment Department of Interastral Peace Corporation may also include Diamonds.

After all, it is common knowledge that the Preservation Aeon is not interested in the Interastral Peace Corporation, nor in the wall-building materials they bring.

Therefore, Diamond must have truly become the Emanator through its own efforts.

Although the power of the Herrschers in the Honkai Impact 3rd world may be insignificant in the face of the Aeon and Path, Elysia's will deserves recognition.

In the Honkai: Star Rail world, one usually becomes stronger after gaining the approval of Path, rather than gaining the approval of Path after becoming stronger.

Therefore, in the Honkai: Star Rail world, willpower is very important.

In this respect, Elysia is exceptionally gifted.

For example, Chen Li had no doubt about Elysia's determination to collect all the cute girls in the universe.

After all, this is a ruthless person who even the Aeon of Beauty wants to get close to!

Isn't this Beauty? This is so Beauty!

"Perhaps this is an opportunity..." Chen Li murmured.

"What opportunity?"

"The chance to become Aeon."

"Who?"

"You."

"Me?" Elysia pointed to herself, disbelieving, doubting that Chen Li was wrong.

"The Aeon was human before his ascension, and so are you. Why can't you become the Aeon?"

What? Some Aeon weren't human before they ascended to heaven?

Then don't worry about it!

At least one of the "Lan" characters needs to be a person.

"So, according to you, beautiful girls are people, and you are a person too, so why can't you become a beautiful girl?" Elysia asked.

"Do you want to see? I can transform."

"Really?" Elysia's eyes lit up.

"Fake. Dream on." Chen Li rolled her eyes at Elysia.

"Hmm..."

"Speaking of which, Elysia, you underwent the trial of Beauty, while Vill-V, under Aha's manipulation, became the Envoy of Joy. And so..."

"So that's how it is?"

"Mobius, you old codger, you're the most useless one!" Chen Li said, pointing at Mobius was wearing a white lab coat.

"Ha?"

Chapter 186 Mobius, watched by Abundance, Erudition, and Destruction.

"You two clueless bastards suddenly barged in just to bully me?" Mobius said coldly, staring at Chen Li and Elysia, who were pointing at him in strange poses.

The way the two of them posed against the sunlight after breaking open the door exuded an extreme sense of oppression!

"We're here to spur you on. Elysia has embarked on Path of Beauty and is undergoing trials of Beauty. Becoming an Envoy is just Emanator corner. Vill-V has been directly chosen by the Aeon of Joy. You, the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals, are the worst! If we don't spur you on, who will we spur on?" Chen Li put on an act as if we were doing this for your own good.

"If you're bored and want to play, just say so directly. No need to beat around the bush," Mobius said coldly.

"... You tuned Mobius like this?" Chen Li turned to look at Elysia beside him.

"Aha... I just often chat with Dr. Mobius when she gets tired of doing experiments, to help her relieve the fatigue from the experiments."

"Is that what you call relieving my fatigue?" Mobius said disdainfully.

"Ahem, Dr. Mobius, tell me, did you feel refreshed or not?" Elysia matter-of-factly.

"..."

"I originally thought that you, Mobius, had accomplished nothing except accepting the Medicine Master's Legacy, but now it seems that things are different from what I imagined..." While Elysia and Mobius were arguing, Chen Li moved closer to Mobius and Mobius the fluctuations on his body.

"Sniff."

"Chen Li, what are you smelling?"

"Hmm, it's the scent of Erudition." Chen Li's fingertips landed on Mobius's forehead, sensing the scent that belonged only to the Path of Wisdom.

"You've become Pathstrider of the Erudition Destiny Chart?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." Mobius nodded casually.

"Then why didn't you say so?"

"What's there to say? As a genius, isn't it only natural to embark on the Path of Wisdom? On the contrary, it's Vill-V who, with 'genius' as her profession, managed to become Envoy of Joy; her background should be investigated," Mobius said casually.

"Okay... After you stepped into the Erudition Destiny Chart, did you feel any difference in yourself?" Chen Li asked curiously.

Although Chen Li knew many people on the Path of Wisdom, including some Emanator, whether people from another world could gain useful power on their very first day in this world was still a blind spot Path of Wisdom Chen Li's knowledge.

Chen Li is currently involved in quite a few Path, but the power of the Pathstrider is not yet clearly manifested in Chen Li, because they have all become Miracle Cards, becoming a kind of "record".

The Abundance [Seeking Medicine] allowed Chen Li to repeatedly meet with the Aeon of Abundance.

The "Let me ask you" option in the Erudition) system allows Chen Li to learn things faster and also forces others to answer Chen Li's questions.

The Voracity [God of Gluttony] allows Chen Li to have a chance to gain certain traits of the gods when he consumes them.

The Nihility [Chaos Physician] even allows Chen Li to summon the Nanook.

But Chen Li was clearly being watched by the Hunt, yet the one who received the blessing was the Peaceful Longbow.

Chen Li really didn't understand what benefits ordinary Pathstrider would gain from the power of Path.

"Different? Yes. The scalpel Miraculous Item you crafted for me allows me to cause organisms to evolve in a specific direction when I perform surgery on them, while the power of Path of Wisdom you speak of allows me to predict probabilities."

"Probability?"

"That's right. I can see the probability of a creature evolving into different forms under the influence of a potential point after it has been placed in a certain direction. A potential point can only define a general direction, but this ability allows me to observe the smaller branches."

"For example, if I were to perform surgery on an orange and want it to be sweeter, the potential points could achieve that, but I couldn't precisely control whether it would be sweet and sour or sweet and honey-like. But now I can observe the probability," Mobius explained.

"Wait, can this scalpel be used to perform surgery on Orange?" Chen Li was taken aback.

"Hmm, didn't you know? Anyone with Life Force can be operated on with this scalpel." Mobius looked at Chen Li with surprise.

"Emmm..." Chen Li really didn't expect it.

The fact that this scalpel, crafted from 15 Crystals, could bear fruit in such an unexpected field truly caught Chen Li off guard.

As I said before, a novice Miraculous Item can't fight the world, but it can fight you. From a single perspective, Miraculous Item are indeed invincible.

"However... scalpel, probability, genius, Path of Wisdom ... you remind me of an old friend I've never met." Chen Li's gaze toward Mobius grew increasingly strange.

"What old friend?"

"Never mind, that's not important. So, is your experiment finished?" Chen Li asked Mobius, who hadn't stopped what he was doing even after he and Elysia had barged into the room and ganged up on him.

The name of the Silent Lord should not be spoken casually, otherwise it will attract the other party's attention.

"Oh, all done. Would you like to try some?" Mobius took off his white gloves, looking at his finished product with great satisfaction.

"What are you tasting? Isn't it a seed?" Elysia asked, staring at the seed in front of Mobius.

"You don't recognize a great man even when you have eyes." Mobius didn't explain, but instead picked up the seed, walked to a flowerpot that was empty, buried the seed in it, and then carried the flowerpot out of the room.

"Snap!" Mobius placed the flowerpot on the open ground and then snapped his fingers lightly.

A tender shoot broke through the soil in the flowerpot and then quickly grew into a towering giant.

"Wow! A tree with bread!" Elysia exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the tree, which was taller than her and covered with bread.

It's not the kind of bread from the Bread Tree; it's made from real sandwich bread.

"Pick one and try it," Mobius said smugly.

Upon hearing Mobius's words, Elysia didn't hesitate at all before picking up a piece of bread and putting it in her mouth, without any concern that Mobius would harm her.

"Uh, what flavor is this? It's not bad, but it feels a bit strange." Elysia was shocked after taking a bite.

"Spicy Crayfish Instant Noodle Flavored Bread," Mobius said.

"???"

"How did you do that?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple. Perform surgery on chili peppers, lobsters, wheat, and Bread Tree simultaneously. Mix the extracted potential points together in equal proportions and Redistribution so that they can be directed to grow into Spicy Crayfish Instant Noodle Flavored Bread Tree. Finally, drain all their potential points, causing them to degenerate into Spicy Crayfish Instant Noodle Flavored Bread Tree seeds, and then force them to grow at the moment of planting," Mobius said casually.

Is this reasonable?

"This is illogical, so it's Miracle created with Miraculous Item." Mobius played with the scalpel in his hand, clearly enjoying it.

"Then how was the birth induced?" Elysia asked, puzzled.

"It's the Power of Abundance, and a very specialized kind of Power of Abundance. It's being used as a force for Power of Abundance, rapidly consuming Life Force to make it grow quickly," Chen Li said.

To be honest, Mobius's use of this scalpel Miraculous Item exceeded Chen Li's imagination. Whether it was performing surgery on fruits and plants, performing mixed surgery on different species, or the idea of draining potential points after shaping to degenerate into seeds, it was all ingenious.

"That's right, that's why I accepted the invitation to the Medicine Master's Legacy." Mobius nodded.
