Sign This Contract!
Elysia disappeared into the Pathway Rift and began traveling through time to complete the things she Cyrene to do.
However, Elysia was quite curious about this power. Although it wasn't hers, it Cyrene, and Cyrene was hers, so there was no problem with that.
Seeing Elysia already working, Li Yu was completely relieved. However, Li Yu was now being pestered by Aha.
"Take me over there!!" Aha transformed into human form and hugged Li Yu from behind, and whether it was intentional or accidental, she even rubbed against her!
As Aha finished speaking, the others also turned their gazes over. If they had the chance to go ahead, they would definitely want to go too.
"Not for now, let's wait until the world merges!" Li Yu refused without hesitation. At this time, Li Yu didn't want to cause any trouble.
At the same time, Li Yu was buying time for Herta and the others. Aha, after being rejected, was also somewhat puzzled; she suddenly sensed that there seemed to be a lot of fun involved.
Thinking of this, Aha became excited. If that was the case, what did it matter if she waited a while? As long as she could see something incredibly funny, Aha was willing to wait.
But now, he still had to put on an act. Thinking this, Aha asked with a pitiful look, "Really not..."
May I?"
"No!" Li Yu refused without hesitation and disappeared without looking back. She had already made her arrangements, so now she just had to wait for the merging of the two worlds!
Seeing Li Yu disappear, Aha felt a deep sense of regret, and Nanook couldn't help but sneer when he saw Aha's expression.
As it happened, Aha witnessed this scene and was immediately displeased. Without saying a word, Aha elbowed Nanook. Who do you think you are, you bastard?
The two Aeons immediately started fighting, but the Aeons around them didn't take it too seriously. They glanced at the two guys elbowing each other and then disappeared from the spot.
After arranging things at Honkai: Star Rail, Li Yu returned to the Main World. As for the world merging later, Pandora would handle it.
Upon returning, he immediately went to the Research Institute where Herta and the others were located. When he arrived, the place had been completely transformed; he discovered that the entire island had been remodeled from the inside out.
Upon entering, Li Yu saw various Herta Puppet, as well as many familiar places, suggesting that the Herta Space Station had been dismantled and incorporated into the interior?
Upon discovering this, Li Yu sensed the original location of the Herta Space Station in space, and sure enough, it was gone. In other words, the Herta had indeed dismantled its own space station and integrated it into the space.
Li Yu randomly picked a Herta Puppet and asked, "Herta, how's your Aeons research going?"
The dull little Herta Puppet instantly came to life, and Big Herta immediately logged on, asking in confusion, "Why are you concerned about this? Is there a problem?"
Herta immediately sensed something was wrong when he was suddenly asked about this; was something bad about to happen?
"That's right, the two worlds are about to merge. If you don't hurry, those Aeons will descend." Li Yu told Herta this bad news.
Hearing this, Herta's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? What are you doing?!" she asked.
This is all so sudden! What do you mean those Aeons are about to descend? What on earth is going on?
"Because all the worlds will be merged together in the future, and your side will be the first!" Li Yu did not hide anything and told Herta the details.
Upon hearing this news, Herta was immediately alarmed. She hurriedly exclaimed, "Come to me right now! Let's discuss this properly!"
After saying that, Big Herta logged off, and Little Herta happily went back to doing its own thing, showing no intention of communicating with Li Yu at all.
Li Yu didn't care and walked directly towards the location he sensed. When he arrived at the Herta, Ruan Mei, Screwllum, and the others had already gathered together.
"Tell me quickly, how much longer?!" Herta asked anxiously. The news Li Yu brought was too sudden. What did he mean by the two worlds merging into one?
Is this the right thing to do? This is clearly not right, isn't it? Is the future Universe going to undergo a great fusion? Or is this something decided by those two newly born Aeons? To open up all of space!
"I don't know either. Just tell me how your preparations are going. If they're almost done, let's get started!" Li Yu casually found a place to sit down and looked at the geniuses present.
Upon seeing this, Lygus immediately said, "I'm all ready, but according to calculations, my success rate is probably less than 50%!"
For Lygus, who created the Nous, its preparations were the most thorough. However, after learning about many aspects of this world, it actually lacked confidence, because there were things like True Magic here, making it somewhat different.
"Sign it, and the success rate will be 100%!" Just then, a Contract suddenly appeared in front of Lygus, and Pandora's voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Lygus was stunned. Looking at the terms and conditions, it asked in surprise, "Is that all? There are no other requirements?"
The terms above are too simplistic: obey the world's commands, do not do anything that harms the world, and join a Pantheon. That's it.
Not harming the world and obeying commands—it's simple. Lygus doesn't think he would harm the world; he joins the gods.
The system is even simpler, so it has no problems; all it wants is to explore all the unknowns of science.
"Yes, after all, the more terms you have, the bigger the loopholes!" Pandora was very frank. Her Pantheon could include the Aeons, so she made her move now.
"The destiny of Erudition will become knowledge, recording all things, exploring all things. What do you think?" Pandora appeared beside Li Yu as she spoke, quietly looking at Lygus.
She originally wanted Athena to come, but then thought better of it. Although Athena was quite intelligent, Pandora didn't need her, since Athena was ultimately True Magic- based character.
It would be better to construct one yourself. It would be great if you could create a Aeons like Lygus, even if it's just one slice. And with her help, Lygus should be able to become a great Aeons.
"Then, the Contract is formed!" Since there was no time left and the other party's conditions were very good, what reason did Lygus have to refuse? So it agreed immediately.
The Contract was established, and Pandora vanished. Before leaving, she left behind the words, "When the other side connects with this side, all your fragments will return!"
Lygus's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. Didn't this sentence also imply the Nous? If so, that would be wonderful.
After all, the Nous is the Avatar of its own thoughts, and its return to itself means it will devour its opponent, which is fantastic; its wish will soon be fulfilled.
"Wait, will my Path of Life be successful?" Ruan Mei hurriedly asked after Pandora disappeared, wanting to know if she could succeed.
"I can answer that question." Seeing this, Li Yu also looked at Ruan Mei; he had already seen the future.
Ruan Mei and Herta looked at Li Yu with some surprise. Herta hurriedly asked, "Tell me, do you think Ruan Mei can succeed?"
She knew very well that if Ruan Mei chose life, it would clash with the Abundance's will—she had understood this from the beginning—but what could she do if her own dear daughter was going to do this?
"No, you will only be devoured by the Abundance and then help her become the Aeon of Life!" Li Yu shook his head, directly pouring cold water on the other party.
Choosing this cause will lead to that effect. She may indeed have become Aeons, but when that world is completed, Ruan Mei will become nourishment for the Abundance destiny.
Because the concept of life is so broad, it also includes a part of the Abundance, and the Abundance is much better than your newborn little life. In the end, it is about an adult dealing with the situation of an infant.
After hearing Li Yu's explanation, Ruan Mei visibly became disappointed. Was that really the case? It seemed she couldn't become the Aeon of Life.
"Or, you could collaborate with the Abundance, where life and death coexist!" Just like the Herrscher of Life and the Herrscher of Death, the two can become one.
Ruan Mei nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this and said, "I understand, but I probably won't consider it."
Since life cannot continue, then we can only give up. However, we could work with the Aeons of the Abundance to explore ways to help her ascend to a higher level. If becoming the Aeon of Life would result in being devoured, then let her ascend on her own!
As for becoming Aeons herself, it's fine if she succeeds, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't. What she wants even more is to create a Aeons.
"And you?" Li Yu nodded and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he turned to look at Herta, wondering what kind of Aeons this guy had chosen to become.
"Hmph, I want to become Elation!" Herta proudly raised her head. Her beauty was even more outstanding than her wisdom. The vacant title of Elation should be hers.
"Narcissistic~!" Li Yu rolled his eyes and immediately ignored her. After all, if Pandora didn't grant Contract, it meant that it would be difficult for the Herta to succeed.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you underestimating me?" Herta was immediately annoyed; this guy's tone was incredibly irritating.
Li Yu didn't bother to explain, but instead looked at Lygus and said, "Get ready and go into Universe to begin. The Contract has been signed, and Pandora will help you."
Lygus nodded. It knew that time was of the essence, so it couldn't consider anything else now. When it ascended to become Aeons, Herta and the others needed to record data, so what it had to wait for now was them.
"We'll start preparing now. Don't leave, stay and help. We need to get firsthand data." Herta stopped arguing with Li Yu; all she wanted now was the data and information about Lygus's ascension to godhood!
