Of course, this plan is predicated on humanity possessing the corresponding Herrscher Core. If no Herrscher Core is available, then...

Next up is Anna. At that time, Mobius might directly create a 2000hw energy level environment without Herrscher Core, forcibly meeting the conditions for the birth of Herrscher and forcibly making her Herrscher!

Of course, this plan is still just a concept at the moment. If a more reliable method comes up in the future, we will naturally choose the more reliable method.

However, according to Ling Xi, several Herrscher might appear in quick succession within the next year or two, so...

Anna doesn't have much time left.

Wow, Wendy, you look so cool!

"Really? I think so too."

After returning home, the news of Wendy becoming the Fourth Herrscher spread like wildfire. However, since Wendy was still on the side of humanity, and everyone in the family was very familiar with Wendy, apart from the cat lamenting that it would be difficult to buy goods from Wendy in the future, everyone's attitude towards Wendy did not change.

Nonsense. Look at how many Herrscher there are in the family now, and even the head of the Ling family himself is Herrscher. So... Wendy becoming Herrscher? It's a small matter.

Back home, at everyone's request, Wendy entered her Herrscher form for everyone to admire. It's worth mentioning that Wendy's appearance at this time was not like the one in Honkai Impact 3rd, but more like the Wendy from Honkai Impact 2nd. Her aura alone was different from the one in the original work.

There's no way around it, the character in the original story was just too embarrassing...

Afterwards, Ling Xi took Wendy to the virtual battle arena, where Mei and Wendy conducted a battle test, and finally...

Mei was successfully outmaneuvered. Wendy, who had truly mastered a portion of the fluid powers, was simply not Herrscher of Thunder could handle at her current level.

You could say that Wendy at this moment is an enhanced version of the Herrscher of Wind from the Previous Era!

Of course, with humanity's current strength, it would be too easy to destroy it. Not to mention Ling Xi, who controls spatial power, and Zero Herrscher Elysia, even Sakura's Kiana power could kill it!

Then there are also the immortals who have mastered the Tai Xu Sword Qi Immortal and Cheng Lixue, who can also directly kill Wendy's consciousness through mental attacks. After all, the Tai Xu Sword Qi is really outrageous, it's like a bug in the Honkai 3rd world.

It ignores all defenses and has its own target acquisition causality, so it will definitely hit as soon as it is released!

Unless you retaliate with even greater power like the Kiana in the original story, you either have to escape before the opponent releases their power, or you can only take the hit head-on, because... there's no way to dodge it!

Of course, the Tai Xu Sword Qi is not something that ordinary people can learn. The strongest is naturally the Immortal, followed by himself and Little Li Zi, and then Cheng Lixue. After all, Cheng Lixue has not yet fully mastered it, and there will always be some problems with the last move!

This girl has probably been practicing for over twenty years, and she probably won't make much progress in the future. But then we have to mention Little Li Zi. This girl is a true genius. She mastered the basics in just a few days and in less than a year she mastered the final move of the Tai Xu Sword Qi, which is the Tai Xu Sword God!

Oh, right, Little Li Zi...

Um, I remember the Immortal saying sixteen years ago that Little Li Zi is still in hibernation at the Schicksal Headquarters...

Damn, I completely forgot about her!

No, I have to wake her up quickly, but...

Ling Xi pondered for a moment. If she were to awaken Little Li Zi now, would that girl use the Tai Xu Sword Qi to attack her? Well... probably, eighty percent, maybe, possibly, who knows... she might.

So, should we just let her continue sleeping? Let's just pretend she doesn't exist...

Chapter 716 Little Li Zi DiCaprio is finally remembered!

After the combat test, Ling Xi took Mobius back to the laboratory. She needed to process the data collected earlier. Mobius now had everything she could want. She was surrounded by Herrscher, had blood samples, and if she needed combat data, she could just send them out for a fight!

"Doctor, what are the results?"

A moment later, Ling Xi also inquired, since although Wendy had become Herrscher and no problems had been found, but...

After all, that girl is his wife, so he should care about her.

"Everything seems to be normal so far."

Mobius smiled and said, "Although the girl's cellular activity and Honkai Energy intensity have been greatly enhanced, it's not too different from the Herrscher state we expected. The only variable is that this girl is far more powerful than you initially described, even..."

"To be honest, if we were facing the Fourth Herrscher in our time, and it was Wendy at this moment, I guess none of what happened later would have happened."

Mobius's words were not a joke, but a solid scientific prediction. After all, Ling Xi's win rate against the Herrscher of Wind at that time was probably only 30%, because Ling Xi was not Fused Warrior at the time, and he relied entirely on his own body to use three Herrscher Core. In other words...

If the Herrscher of Wind had simply used a kite, she could have easily defeated Ling Xi. In the end Ling Xi relied on spatial power to seal the source of the Herrscher of Wind's Honkai Energy, and finally eliminated her in a way that was close to mutual destruction.

As for Wendy...

Given Wendy's speed and Honkai Energy intensity, the probability that Ling Xi would have been able to fight her at that time was... less than one percent, which would be considered a rather optimistic estimate!

Of course, this situation will not occur, since the Honkai at that time was still aimed at testing humanity, so apart from the Finality, there will be no Herrscher that humanity cannot defeat, unless humanity fails to find the right method.

Ling Xi speechless. It seemed that although she hadn't changed much of the main storyline, however...

It seems that the Herrscher in the main storyline have all been strengthened!

There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the current strength of humans is terrifying. If we don't strengthen the Herrscher, then it's almost... no, it's a guaranteed instant death!

"Next is Anna's problem..."

After confirming that Wendy was alright, Mobius began to think about the next Herrscher, the Herrscher of Ice, Anna!

However, this time humanity doesn't have the Ice Herrscher Core, so if they continue with this method, they'll have to force Anna to become Herrscher!

Just like Raiden Mei, under the influence of the Imaginary Tree correcting history, she was directly exposed to a large amount of Honkai Energy radiation, and then condensed a lightning core, awakening as the Herrscher of Thunder.

As for the Conquest Gem that was originally placed at headquarters, it also disappeared!

Therefore, although Artificial Herrscher need Herrscher Core, if someone who was originally Herrscher body wants to become Herrscher, it seems that all they need is enough Honkai Energy to re-form a core. The only problem is whether Anna can withstand it.

After all, when Wendy underwent Herrscher transformation, she could directly touch the Herrscher Core, quickly gaining extremely powerful Honkai Energy and rapidly becoming Herrscher, but...

If it were Anna, she could only slowly absorb Honkai Energy until it reached a Honkai Energy level within her body before awakening as Herrscher. And the pain she would endure during that time... well...

Finally, one more thing: Wendy's Honkai Energy has now exceeded 3000 hw, so...

The next Herrscher's Honkai Energy will obviously be the standard 2000hw, which means Anna will have to endure more Honkai Energy and more pain!

This is something that even Ling Xi, let alone Mobius, doesn't know how to bring up...

For the greater good? Or for personal gain?

Perhaps both are true.

"Hmm? The person who's been staying with me?"

After leaving Mobius's laboratory, Ling Xi still carried the last shred of conscience in her heart and decided to wake up Little Li Zi. The first person she needed to find was naturally Otto, since it was Otto who brought Li Sushang's Hibernation Pod back to the Schicksal Headquarters.

"Oh... you mean your disciple?"

Otto thought for a moment, then immediately remembered that he had once considered making Li Sushang one of his trump cards, to awaken her when faced with problems that even Schicksal couldn't solve, but...

Because of the help of the Shenzhou Immortal, namely Fu Hua, his Schicksal journey has been smooth, so Li Sushang has not been awakened until now.

"Um... I guess you could say that."

Ling Xi rubbed her forehead. To be honest, she really didn't want to be her master.

"Alright, Otto, I'm in a hurry."

Ling Xi didn't want to talk too much about Li Sushang with Otto, since the matter was quite awkward. She said, "Just tell me the location, and then let Amber take me there. You can continue slacking off."

"Hehe, no problem, old friend."

Otto didn't ask any further questions, but simply smiled and said, "However, I've placed Li Sushang in the safest place in Schicksal, and Kallen is also there, so Amber can't go there on her own. Therefore, I'll take you there myself."

"Okay, thanks."

Ling Xi nodded slightly. The fact that this guy placed Li Sushang in the same place as Kallen was enough to show that Otto really cared about Li Sushang's identity, although this was most likely because of himself and the Immortal!

However, Otto had taken care of Li Sushang for so long, so it wasn't too much to say thank you!

Although... I might get beaten up later, let's not worry about that now. Let's wake up Little Li Zi first. If all else fails, I'll use my spatial powers to escape!

Why are you being so polite with me?

Otto smiled and then asked with some confusion, "But I'm a little curious. After all, you had basically settled down after the Second Honkai War, and you were able to awaken her back then. So why did you only come to find her now?"

Otto was genuinely curious about this, after all, such a beautiful disciple... or rather, wife, had been left here for a full sixteen years. If it were Kallen who was asleep, he would have woken her up immediately.

"Ahem, this is part of my plan..."

Ling Xi certainly couldn't say it was because she forgot; otherwise, given Otto's cunning nature, he would most likely "accidentally" reveal it to Little Li Zi in the future, and then...

Burn fiercely, soul that murdered its master!

The Li family's ancestral tradition of killing one's master will be inherited by Li Sushang!

Chapter 717 Preparing to Awaken Little Li Zi!

Following Otto, Ling Xi quickly arrived at Otto's private residence, and then took the elevator down to the underground... well, of course, still on the floating island!

Finally, Ling Xi saw two Hibernation Pod, one in hibernation mode and the other in cryogenic hibernation mode.

Clearly, Otto from 500 years ago took his advice and preserved Kallen's body. Although the Otto in the original story would certainly have preserved Kallen as well, since without doing so, there would have been no Amber and Theresa.

After all, Theresa is just a smaller version of Kallen.

"Sushang..."

Arriving in front of Li Sushang's Hibernation Pod, Ling Xi glanced at her through the glass. Hmm... compared to when they parted, this girl seems to have grown up a bit. After all, the Immortal had said that Little Li Zi had been cultivating for a year before going into hibernation.

So Little Li Zi was a year older at this time than when they parted ways.

However, none of that matters. After all, the Doctor now possesses the perfect Hypervariable Factor. Once Li Sushang awakens and recovers for a period of time, the Hypervariable Surgery can be performed, and she will gain an extremely long lifespan and...

The ability to never change its appearance!

Moreover, perhaps Eternal Life have already appeared, although humanity doesn't currently possess that technology...

Don't forget that Mobius is also Fused Warrior now. With the abilities of Fused Warrior, living for thousands or tens of thousands of years is no problem for him. In these tens of thousands of years, is it really impossible for Dr. Mobius to overcome the technology of Eternal Life?

If all else fails, just learn from Otto: use more advanced microscopic robots to assemble the body, and then directly endure the pain of flesh and blood to achieve mechanical ascension!

"The medical team is ready; you can wake her up at any time."

Otto whispered a reminder, and at the same time instructed Amber to prepare the medical supplies. After Ling Xi woke up Li Sushang, she could be taken to the hospital directly using the spatial wormhole. However, given Li Sushang's strength, she probably wouldn't have any symptoms.

"No, you can't wake him up directly."

Although Ling Xi really wanted to wake Li Sushang up right now, he remembered the steps Little Klein had taken to wake up Cangxuan and the others. He had to adjust the Hibernation Pod program first and then gradually wake them up, otherwise there might be some aftereffects.

"I plan to take the Hibernation Pod back to the Doctor's lab and have my senior colleagues wake it up."

Ultimately, Ling Xi decided it was better to leave the matter to professionals.

"Oh, okay, no problem, you decide for yourself."

Otto had no objection to this. After all, he wasn't particularly familiar with Hibernation Pod. He could take apart other things to take a look, but... he couldn't take apart Hibernation Pod.

"Slurp..."

In the laboratory, Mobius was happily slurping instant noodles again. After eating delicacies for so long, instant noodles still taste better!

Of course, the premise is that it can't be from a certain craftsman's shop!

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, another wormhole appeared in the laboratory...

Mobius: "???" Ling Xi, do you have a problem with me eating instant noodles?

However, when Mobius discovered that Ling Xi was actually carrying a Hibernation Pod in, she was somewhat surprised. This...

Isn't this the Hibernation Pod I designed back then?

"Doctor, excuse me..."

Seeing her Doctor secretly eating instant noodles again, Ling Xi just smiled and didn't stop him.

"Hoo-hoo, tell me, what is it now?"

Mobius pursed his lips, eating his instant noodles as he asked Ling Xi what was wrong.

"Look, it's her."

Ling Xi decisively placed the Hibernation Pod on the ground and then smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Li Sushang, who was also from the same era as the Yae Sakura sisters five hundred years ago. Hua should have told you about Li Sushang back then, right?"

"So it was her."

Upon hearing Ling Xi mention the name Li Sushang, Mobius seemed to understand instantly and laughed, "Your disciple from five hundred years ago, right?"

Mobius emphasized the word "disciple" because Fu Hua had revealed some things to her when they discussed the matter.

"Hey... hehe, Doctor, you can't just ignore this, can you?"
