After explaining everything, Chang Yuan looked at Mebius with bright eyes.
"So what does all this have to do with me? I don't care if they live or die."
Mebius wasn't interested after hearing Chang Yuan's explanation.
Whether those council members lived or died made no significant difference to her.
"But if I want to control them all, it's difficult for me to invite them all given my position. However, Dr. Mobius, you can do it."
At this point, Chang Yuan finally revealed his true intentions.
Mebius finally understood what Chang Yuan was trying to do.
He wanted to use her status to summon all the council members and then capture them all at once.
"Why do you think I would help you? You know, if I reported your actions, I might receive more funding."
Mebius asked Chang Yuan with great interest.
"Because Mebius, you also can't stand them. Of course, the main reason is that I believe Dr. Mobius, you are not that kind of person."
"...Don't act like you know me that well."
Staring into Chang Yuan's eyes, Mebius said in a cool tone.
Chang Yuan wasn't surprised by this at all, as it was common knowledge that Mebius's mouth was the hardest substance in the entire Honkai world.
She was someone who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
"Then, Dr. Mobius, next I will tell you the essence of Honkai one by one. Similarly, I hope you can help me."
"Speak. If it's useful, I don't mind lending a hand."
Resting her face on one hand, Mebius watched Chang Yuan.
She wanted to see what fantastic tales this guy could come up with.
"Alright, the essence of Honkai is..."
In about 10 minutes, Chang Yuan explained the essence of Honkai, as he knew it from the story, in detail.
From the Imaginary Numbers to the Cocoon of Finality originating from a higher civilization. Of course, he chose to keep Airi's identity a secret for now.
After all, Airi hadn't gained everyone's approval yet, and revealing her identity might make others wary.
After listening to Chang Yuan's introduction, Mebius put away her initial playful expression and turned serious and silent.
Chang Yuan didn't disturb Mebius.
Finally, after about three to four minutes, Mebius spoke again, "Are you telling the truth?"
"I can guarantee it with my life. At least 99% is true, and the remaining 1% is because there are no absolutes in science."
Facing Mebius's second inquiry, Chang Yuan still stated with conviction.
"...This world truly is full of tribulations."
After hearing Chang Yuan's explanation of the essence of Honkai, Mebius couldn't help but feel the despair of the future.
But she still wouldn't back down because of it.
"So, the core of the Second Herrscher was taken by you?"
"That's right. I gave it to a peerless genius, and she used it to create the first Divine Key. That Divine Key is currently in Airi's hands."
"...Truly a genius. With your help, the Divine Key was born ahead of schedule. What are the chances of victory against Finality?"
Hearing Mebius's question, Chang Yuan fell silent. After a long pause, he replied, "I don't know. Perhaps it will be the same as the future I saw, with at most more survivors."
After speaking, Chang Yuan looked at Mebius, "So this time, I have already provided many suggestions for the future. I hope you can use this as a foundation to create new possibilities."
"...Tsk, I've inexplicably gained the burden of saving the world. As expected, humans should adapt and evolve, otherwise, they will eventually be eliminated."
Rubbing her temples, Mebius said with some annoyance.
Before she knew the essence of Honkai, she could relax a bit, thinking that they could defeat Honkai in the future.
But after learning the essence of Honkai, the pressure increased significantly. Not to mention whether higher civilizations would interfere, the Cocoon of Finality alone was enough trouble for them.
"So, Dr. Mobius, I hope you can help me. Only by gathering the world's financial resources and the world's strength can we have a chance to defeat Honkai."
"...Understood. I will invite them all to the conference room then. You can handle the rest yourself."
Mebius readily agreed to this small favor.
However, she only agreed to help him invite all the council members to the conference room; everything after that was up to Chang Yuan.
"That's enough. Thank you, Dr. Mobius. By the way, I also believe humans should evolve, but they should evolve appropriately.
If humans lose their essence during the process of evolution, then it's not human evolution, but the complete disappearance of humanity from the river of history, replaced by a new species."
After saying this, Chang Yuan turned and left.
After he left, Mebius curled her lips.
"Someone who thinks they understand me, hmph."
Muttering to herself, Mebius then began to think about what excuse she should use to invite all the council members.
On the other side, Chang Yuan emerged feeling completely at ease, because they all had a bright future.
All they needed to do was eradicate the cancerous elements and then rally the strength of the entire world to fully support Mebius, Velvie, and Mei and the others.
Perhaps a miracle could happen then, and maybe Airi wouldn't have to sacrifice herself.
Even if they couldn't defeat Finality in the end, they absolutely had to have Mei and the others research the essence of Airi's Origin Herrscher authority.
Then, they could sacrifice themselves in Airi's place, creating humanity for future Herrschers.
"Mebius, I hope you can hurry. Even though it's only a few days, every moment is incredibly important when facing the future."
Chang Yuan muttered to himself as he walked.
Until a hand landed on his shoulder.
"A Yuan, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for a while now, but you didn't answer me."
"Huh? Oh, Airi, it's you."
Following the hand on his shoulder, Chang Yuan saw a pink-haired girl pouting, looking at him with clear dissatisfaction.
With those iconic pink locks, there was no doubt who it was.
"So, you! What exactly were you thinking just now? I called you so many times, and you didn't respond."
She was a little upset now, the kind of upset that wouldn't be fixed unless Chang Yuan appeased her.
"I was thinking, if, if we defeat Honkai in the future, where should we go? Should we find a place to settle down, or continue traveling?"
