He would inevitably choose his founder—Mébius.

This means that the price is already sufficient.

"The pre-civilization of 5 years ago couldn't do it, and the current Lord of the World Serpent can't do it either," the gray serpent said leisurely.

"The pre-civilization of 5 years ago failed to predict the future of defeating the Honkai, and no one else now has been able to do so either, not even in the slightest," Luo Mo replied.

A long silence...

The pressure in the air permeated every corner of the scene; a gentle breeze blew, and yellow sand swept across.

No one knows whether the next moment will bring a successful negotiation or a successful war.

"Well then, welcome, guests who have come from afar."

The gray snake bowed and stepped aside from the doorway, gesturing for the doorkeeper to come in.

The air pressure vanished without a trace, and the figures from before disappeared into the distance.

He repeated what he had said when they first met, but this time he was no longer blocking the doorway; instead, he stood beside it.

Luo Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He had succeeded in persuading the Gray Serpent, and at least entering the Paradise would be a smooth process. The next thing to consider was how to meet Ying Jie and how to persuade him.

The two, along with the gray serpent, stepped into the passageway, heading towards one of the most important legacies of the previous civilization, which was also the location of the World Serpent's headquarters.

.....

After navigating numerous traps and secret passages, the three found themselves in a deep, dark tunnel. They couldn't see where it led or what lay within.

This should be the last passage to Paradise, just like in the game, Luo Mo thought.

Just as the two were about to go, the gray snake stopped them.

“Lord Hua, none of the heroes of the previous civilizations have ever reached this paradise,” said the Grey Serpent.

"You may not remember this, but the previous civilization did have this rule: the Paradise of the Past was merely a place for heroes to test those who came after them, and also their secluded Eden. This is what they deserve, and the future collapse has nothing to do with them."

"But didn't you agree to let me in, and also let me bring Mebius out?" Luo Mo asked, puzzled.

"No, I only agree to your going to the Paradise of the World as a successor, that's all, and that's in accordance with the law."

"The gray snake spoke slowly, its mechanical eyes fixed on Luo Mo, its tone leaving no room for doubt," the gray snake said.

Luo Mo remained silent. So, he had to rely on himself for everything?

No wonder he agreed so readily. If something goes wrong, it's his own fault. He's already absolved himself of responsibility before he's even started. How shrewd!

However, a crucial piece of information was also obtained: the heroes of the previous civilization did not want their memories to interfere with the future, regardless of the reason.

This will be another obstacle in bringing out Yingjie.

Chapter 2 Welcome, noble and pure soul?

"I understand, but the World Serpent still respects all heroes, right?" Luo Mo asked.

He didn't know how long it would take to get to the Land of Eternal Bliss, and he couldn't let Fu Hua wait here in vain.

But besides protecting himself, he brought Fu Hua here in the hope of using the power of the previous civilization to repair Fu Hua's body.

He wouldn't feel safe leaving anyone else at World Serpent headquarters, but Fu Hua was an exception.

The World Serpent will not betray Yingjie unless it goes against that plan.

"Wait..." Fu Hua looked at Luo Mo with surprise, and was about to speak, hoping to go together, but was stopped by Luo Mo's gesture.

Luo Mo knew that Fu Hua needed healing more than anything else right now.

"Of course, the pursuit of fire and heroism remains the guiding principle of our World Serpents; we are the eternal followers of the heroes," the Gray Serpent replied instantly.

"Then I hope the World Serpent can heal Fu Hua's old wounds by utilizing the technology left over from the previous civilization."

"Of course, it seems you are indeed very confident." The gray snake paused for a moment, then continued, its inorganic voice carrying a hint of joy.

He has more confidence in this deal.

After all, the enemy had willingly discarded their own protective charms.

He was also curious, since the other person was just an ordinary person, how could he have such great confidence in going to Paradise?

"We look forward to your return! In the meantime, we will do our best to treat Hua Da's injuries."

Then, Fu Hua and Gray Serpent watched Luo Mo leave, while he went into the depths alone.

"Yes! Why am I so confident? I'm just an ordinary person."

"I should be able to figure it out myself. The 'master' that Gray Serpent mentioned should be Mebius. She's also in danger. As for Fu Hua, if I take a firmer stance, she might be able to come in and help me."

"But why? Is it because you believe her? It's a really inexplicable belief, but..."

"How about we use the crystals to pull some items? Although we haven't claimed the crystals from the main story yet, and Himeko's side quest is more of a setup, we only got a few hundred crystals. With what we had left over, it's still enough for a ten-pull on the regular gacha."

"Forget it, I'll draw it at the door. I believe in myself, I believe in... her!"

"Tap~tap~tap~"

Footsteps echoed in the deep, eerily quiet passage, stretching endlessly, revealing an unfathomable depth where all that could be seen were identical paths and similar scenes.

He didn't know how long he had been walking; it could have been a few minutes, a few hours, or even a whole day.

But Luo Mo simply walked on quietly. He wasn't in a hurry; in fact, he wished the passage could be longer so he could walk more slowly.

Because he hadn't yet recalled every one of her forty opening lines, he wanted to try to guess which one she would use and how he should respond.

He was also a little worried because she liked pretty girls, and even if she was just curious about his game, there was no 100% chance that he would run into her. But why was he still thinking about her opening line?

why?

Luo Mo asked himself this question over and over again.

It's been such a long, long time, since I came into this world.

Especially after he saw Alicia's stigmata, he had been constantly planning to meet her.

A person who was beautiful and flawless did not have a happy ending.

The Yingjie organization it founded was never recognized, and its members never maintained unity.

Even a single lie couldn't save humanity, and all the many lies they made couldn't save the world.

But she still believed in humanity so strongly, and devoted herself entirely to the next civilization.

She firmly believed in the goodness and kindness of humanity, and she always longed to become human.

Even if humanity may not be as perfect or as wonderful as she imagined.

She is not human, but any human would pale in comparison to her.

The previous civilization failed her sacrifices; the current civilization can only fulfill her last wish.

Thinking of this, Luo Mo's footsteps involuntarily became louder, and his mood became a little more anxious.

He was somewhat agitated, though he didn't know where this feeling came from or who the object of his affections was.

He wanted to play the game of kicking pebbles that he used to play as a child, but the passageway was clean and there wasn't a single pebble to be found.

Luo Mo let out a long breath and looked ahead.

Only then did he realize that, sometime during the night, what lay before him was no longer a deep, dark expanse.

Unlike the monotonous scenery just now, there was one more person, someone he had been thinking about.

A bright candle was lit, casting a warm orange glow that gently illuminated a beautiful young woman with long pink hair.

She had long, slightly wavy pink hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, with neat, side-swept bangs and slender eyebrows peeking out from between them. A gentle hook of her bangs evoked tenderness, while a slight lift brought joy.

She sat cross-legged, looking at herself, her legs clad in opaque black stockings, revealing a pristine expanse of white skin between her thighs.

A mischievous grin played on her face, as if she wanted to see when the visitor would notice her, and she remained silent.

Her appearance was beautiful and charming, but what was even more attractive were her elf ears, which were long and thin with slightly pointed tips, giving them a light and agile feel. They were hidden among her pink hair, making one want to observe them more closely.

Wearing a specially made Yingjie uniform, the white top could not contain her mature and charming figure, her full figure almost bursting out. The black sleeves and shawl were lined with purple, and the skirt was outlined with complex and textured stripes, which was both majestic and lively. The clothes were also decorated with many cute girlish decorations.

He gently held a purple, transparent, slightly glowing crystal in his right hand.

But what's most captivating at this moment are those eyes—pure sky-blue pupils with a pink oval dot in them, pure, bright, and always full of hope.

At this moment, she lightly flicked her fingers and placed them gently at the corner of her mouth, speaking in a clear, ethereal voice, as melodious as a lark, yet also lively.

"Welcome, noble and pure soul?"

"You've come to explore the past, so guess who I am?"

“Love...love...Alisia!” Luo Mo was a little shocked. He didn’t expect to see her as soon as he went in. She was the person he most wanted to meet on this trip.

"Alicia!" A sharp voice pierced the air as Mebius approached from afar, speaking angrily.

The green hair was topped with a small crown, and the curls at the back of the head were simply laid out, with a slight dampness on the hair.

The dress she was wearing was very tight around her waist, and Luo Mo thought that Alicia probably couldn't fit into it.

"Who told you to replace all the clothes in my closet with pink dresses?"

Luo Mo looked up, a hint of regret in her eyes. Oh, she wasn't wearing a pink dress! Then what do you have to say?

"Hmm!? Dr. Mebius, it's unhygienic to come out in dirty clothes after a shower!?"

Alicia said with a soft laugh,

This is punishment for calling me fat!

Miss Pink Fairy is very vengeful, especially in this regard!

"Who do you think is to blame for this?!"

Chapter 3 Ellie Clashes with Snake

"I'm furious," Mebius said, before she carefully examined Luo Mo, the outsider.

As if struck by a sudden thought, he burst into laughter.

"Hehe, Alicia, how about we make a bet and see who he's here to see?"

"I'm very confident," Mebius said with complete assurance.
