Kevin the Ancestor Who Fears His Girlfriend, and Mei's Question

"No, you mean to tell me you didn't even know that? I thought you were aloof and looked down on Mebius."

Seeing Velvie's expression of sudden realization, Chang Yuan's lips twitched slightly.

He had previously thought Velvie possessed the pride of a genius and disdained cooperating with others.

It turned out she hadn't even considered this point, but that was for the best, as it meant there were no rifts between them.

"Oh, right. The person you specifically asked to bring here has arrived. They're waiting for you. And their little boyfriend is here too."

Velvie suddenly remembered something and mentioned it to Chang Yuan.

Reminded by Velvie, Chang Yuan finally recalled that he had asked for Mei and Kevin to be brought back quickly before their decisive battle with the Herrscher.

After all, he feared the butterfly effect might cause them to disappear. They were humanity's top combat power and treasures of wisdom.

"Then Velvie, I'll agree to Airi's request. I'll go find Mei and the others first."

Waving goodbye, Chang Yuan hurried to the reception room.

Inside the reception room, a black-haired woman wearing glasses was calmly drinking tea.

Beside her, a short-haired man paced back and forth anxiously.

"Kevin, stop pacing. You're making me agitated. Can't you just calm down?"

Mei rubbed her temples and sighed helplessly.

"But after everything that's happened, how can I calm down? Just a few days ago, we were living our normal lives, and suddenly it's the end of the world.

The most crucial thing is that we were brought to an unknown organization. Who knows if they have ill intentions towards us."

Hearing Mei's plea for him to calm down, Kevin replied helplessly.

How could he calm down after all this? Monsters as tall as buildings, and walking dead resembling humans on the streets.

This looked exactly like the apocalypse becoming reality. It would be a miracle if he could remain calm.

Click!

Just then, the reception room door handle turned.

Chang Yuan then opened the door and walked in.

"The two of you, I'm not too late, am I?"

"No."

Mei shook her head.

At the same time, she glared at Kevin, who was about to say something.

Stared at by her gaze, Kevin immediately became timid and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Mei's gaze returned to Chang Yuan.

"So, you are the leader of this organization?"

"Not entirely. Flame-Chasing Moth is an organization established by the high-level officials of various continents, solely to resist the disaster known as Honkai.

But you should know, once such an organization falls into the hands of vermin, its fate will be dire.

So, I used a little trick to control all the high-level officials and transferred all power to my hands."

"Isn't that a power grab? You don't exactly seem like a good guy, do you?"

Hearing this, Kevin's sense of justice flared up, and he blurted out a complaint.

However, Mei immediately nudged his chest with her hand.

"Brother Kevin, can you try not to selectively listen to people? You completely ignored the part about those people being vermin, didn't you?"

Hearing Kevin's out-of-context remark, Chang Yuan explained again.

"But this, ugh."

Kevin was about to say something else, but the next second, he was intimidated by Mei's glare and immediately stopped talking.

"Never mind, Brother Kevin, I won't chat with you for now. I'll talk to your little girlfriend first."

Hearing Chang Yuan refer to Mei that way, Kevin's face turned slightly red, feeling quite shy.

Seeing Kevin in such a state, Chang Yuan couldn't help but marvel that even Kevin could get shy.

Mei did not deny the title.

"Now, what I'm about to tell you will shatter your worldview. In this world, there exists something called Honkai..."

It took Chang Yuan nearly half an hour to explain the concept of Honkai to the two of them.

Of course, the main reason was that a certain white-haired individual kept asking questions, otherwise, it would have only taken about ten minutes.

"So, how do you know so much?"

Mei wasn't focused on Honkai at the moment. She was more curious about how Chang Yuan knew so many things.

Since a higher-dimensional civilization already existed, could Chang Yuan possibly be a spy sent by another civilization?

"I can't tell you about that for now. When the time comes, during the Thirteenth Herrscher Conquest War, I will tell you. I will tell everyone."

"...Then I have no other questions."

Seeing this, Mei nodded and stopped asking.

"In that case, Mei, are you willing to join Flame-Chasing Moth and add a torch to the future of our entire civilization, even if it's like a moth to a flame?"

"I am willing, but I want Kevin to join too."

"That's fine, but he'll have to start as a recruit. After all, I worked my way up to my current position myself."

Chang Yuan had no reason to refuse such a small request.

Hearing that he wouldn't be separated from Mei, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he dreamed of becoming a savior, a dream that every boy has.

"Since you've chosen to join us, sign these contracts. These will be the assets and material factories under your name.

Our common goal is to do our utmost to overcome or defeat the Honkai. Since we already know the ultimate goal and understand the enemy thoroughly, I hope that you, Dr. Mei, can bring me the future I desire."

Chang Yuan took out several contracts that hadn't been signed by the councilors and handed them to Mei.

Mei signed her name without hesitation.

"Then, may I begin my research now?"

"Please do. Before you joined us, I had already registered your identity in the database. Your current authority is the same as Mebius and the others."

Mei gave Kevin a look, signaling him to follow her.

Kevin, understanding immediately, trotted after Mei, completely unlike the cool, aloof god he would become in later generations.

After the two of them left, Chang Yuan closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Something, or rather someone, had been added during this period.

"It seems Hua was also brought back to Flame-Chasing Moth by Himiko around this time, but I don't need to worry about that."

Stroking his chin, Chang Yuan continued to worry unnecessarily.

As long as the Honkai wasn't truly defeated, he wouldn't be able to truly rest.

After all, every time he wanted to relax, he would remember how Airi sacrificed herself to allow future generations to defeat the Herrscher of Finality.
