He then obtained a large investment from Mebius, organized a large-scale charity performance, and bought prime-time advertising for promotion.

Finally, they invited top anchor Alishia as a guest performer. Relying on Alishia's appeal, all the tickets were sold out. The fans who went to see Alishia soon discovered Eden's charm and became Eden's fans.

——Having a backer means you can do whatever you want. After all, you need background and power to make a living.

After making Eden an instant hit, Xing decisively withdrew from the entertainment industry. With Eden's strength, it would be easy for him to catch this wave of traffic.

Just as Xing was showing off his connections, the girl band finished their performance.

Then Eden came on stage as the main character.

Classical opera, which is completely different from pop songs, brings a refreshing audio-visual experience to the audience.

The colorful lights and fireworks heated up the atmosphere.

"Eden! Eden! Eden!"

"Ms. Eden! We love you!"

"I have no regrets in my life for being able to see Ms. Eden's performance in person~"

Obviously the audience was still the same audience, but Eden's appearance made these people almost like different people.

"So impressive..." Black Curlytail looked at the bustling scene with a blank stare.

She had indeed never seen such a scene, a group of people going crazy because of one person.

This was a spontaneous enthusiasm. She could feel the audience's love for Eden, a genuine emotion without any falsehood.

On the stage, Eden, the center of everyone's attention, was calm, elegant, and smiling. She seemed like the embodiment of all brilliance, the only one in the world...

Ruan Mei noticed the expression of the black drongo at this moment. Although the expression was still confused, there was a light spot in the confusion.

"Have the confused people found the light to guide themselves?" Ruan Mei murmured to herself.

Chapter 17 Mental Consumption

Because this performance was to raise funds to build schools for children in poor areas, Eden's performance did not last too long, and was followed by some charity activities, such as charity auctions.

At the end of the entire event, there was a signing session for Eden’s new album.

That’s right, for this charity performance, Eden also wrote several new songs that fit the theme and produced a new album.

It can be seen that Eden's charity work is definitely not done for profit, but she devotes herself to charity sincerely. This is also the thing that makes her most popular among fans and even passers-by.

However, because of this, it is very difficult to get Eden's autograph. Not only do you have to wait in line patiently, but you also have to pray that the signing will not end before your turn.

After all, there are too many people who want autographs, and Eden can't spend several hours signing autographs for fans. After all, the time for event reporting is limited.

After the concert, Xing went to meet several of his band members. After hesitating for a while, Black Curly Tail followed them and said something to Xing.

The only people left in the audience seats were Ruan Mei, Mebius, and Klein.

"Hmm?" You ask Alysia? Pink Hair was the first to disappear from her seat after the performance. If Xing was quick, he could find Alysia in the band's lounge.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, that was how Klein felt.

As Mobius's assistant, she not only has to help Mobius with experiments and manage the company at work, but also has to take care of this useless person in life. Therefore, she knows Mobius very well.

However, Klein had never seen Mebius like this before—his face was stern, but his body involuntarily moved closer to the people around him. His lips were tightly pursed, but he felt like he had a lot of things to say in his stomach that he wanted to confide in the people around him.

That person was Ruan Mei.

Klein knew a little about what happened between Mebius and Ruan Mei. After all, Alicia was a big mouth and liked to come to the company to find Mebius when she had nothing to do. She was also lucky enough to hear some snippets.

For example, Mebius is Ruan Mei's adopted daughter, Mebius ran away from home to start a business, Mebius is a proud and arrogant person who often calls Ruan Mei "that woman", but in fact he has long regarded Ruan Mei as his real mother in his heart.

So, now I'm like sitting next to my daughter, who's having a one-sided argument with her mother? Should I step away and give them some space to talk?

Klein realized this belatedly, and then he suddenly realized why Alicia and Black Curl both ran away. It seemed that they had also noticed this, so they found an excuse to slip away.

"Um, Doctor, I'm going to make a call. There's something going on at the company." After hesitating for a moment, Klein took out his cell phone, pretended to fiddle with it, and then said to Mebius.

"Go ahead." Mebius glanced at Klein and nodded.

After getting Mebius's approval, Klein tiptoed away. His steps were so quick that he disappeared in an instant.

If it were the Mobius of the past, he would definitely think that these people's behavior was a bit strange, but the current Mobius was a little confused, so he didn't have any extra energy.

Just as Klein had heard, Mebius had indeed run away from home to start his own business, establishing the World Serpent Company. And the reason for all of this was all because...

"It's been a long time since we've been alone like this, right?" Ruan Mei's gentle voice broke the silence in the air.

Mebius looked up and saw that Ruan Mei still had that indifferent expression on her face, as if nothing could affect her and she didn't take anything to heart.

Yes, it was this expression that made me feel at ease, yet also unhappy and even a little inferior.

As a gifted genius, as a genius who can dominate an era, Mebius has his own self-esteem, pride and confidence as a genius.

However, all of this was shattered in an experiment several years ago.

Seeing his nominal adoptive mother, with a nonchalant expression and extremely skillful techniques, transform a snake into a human being, no, it should be said that she allowed the life to evolve and even be upgraded.

She is like the God in mythology, the creator god, and the master of creation. What flows through her fingertips is the code of life.

And I am just a dark, twisted snake crawling on the ground, but I don’t know my own limitations and I want to compete with the sky.

Mebius was once proud of her talent, and her dream would be feared by all mankind, because she wanted to redefine humanity and make humanity evolve in the direction she wanted.

As for whether humans after evolution are still humans in the moral sense, Mebius doesn't care.

However, when she was ready to do something big and when she dreamed of the beauty and hope of the future, she found that what she wanted to do was something that others had already conquered and discarded.

Oh, what is the so-called evolution of mankind compared to the creation that controls life?

Mebius was not someone who would be willing to be inferior to others. After that, she studied hard and forgot to eat and sleep, but found that she could not understand it at all.

During that experiment, I was in a state of confusion from beginning to end. The only thing I could understand was the path it pointed to, which was the direction of my future research.

At that time, Mebius understood that the gap between himself and Ruan Mei was the gap between a genius and a mediocre person.

Geniuses stroll through the Milky Way, picking up twinkling stars, while mediocre people can hardly find even a footprint. People like me who are neither good nor bad open their palms to the sky to catch the falling stardust.

Ruan Mei's existence was like a hard slap in the face of Mebius, telling her that she no longer had to work hard. As long as she acted coquettishly to Ruan Mei and made requests, she could realize her dreams and make all mankind evolve.

Ruan Mei, who possessed the power of a creator, was definitely able to do this, but how could she possibly accept such a thing?!

Just like the relationship between Mobius and Holhaiya, they often quarreled and spoke unkindly to each other. In addition to their personality clashes, the main reason was that Holhaiya's existence itself, in Mobius's eyes, was a destruction of her dreams.

So... Mebius ran away from home. She walked out of the place that she truly regarded as her home in confusion, wanting to make a name for herself outside and prove that she was not without value in existence.

He created the World Snake, developed medicine to cure colds, achieved a series of shocking results in biology, and was called the most talented mad scientist by the outside world. However, all this did not allow Mebius to get out of his inner self-consumption.

Because the deeper you study, the more independent you live, the more desperate you become.

The seemingly bright and beautiful World Snake, the environment where he could concentrate on research, and even the laboratory, all hid Ruan Mei's shadow.

God knows what kind of expression Mebius showed when one day she came to the door of her laboratory, pushed it open, and found that the scene inside had completely changed and became the laboratory where Holhaiya was born.

Chapter 18: Honkai Energy

A dark blue crystal was suspended above the transparent pyramid. An invisible wave emanated from the crystal, but was quickly blocked by an invisible barrier in the surrounding air.

This crystal is the source of energy for the Herrscher and the core of the Herrscher of Reason.

A huge amount of collapse energy gathers inside the crystal. Once it explodes, it will be enough to cause a large-scale collapse disaster.

But at this moment, this crystal is just an experimental product in Ruan Mei's laboratory.

The cold and aloof beauty stood beside the core, looking down at this not-so-well-behaved crystal. Strings of words emerged from the crystal and fell into her eyes.

This is an analysis of the Herrscher's core, but more importantly, it is a study and analysis of the cocoon from the connection between the Herrscher's core and the cocoon.

But I just can't calm down.

Ruan Mei frowned and reached out to press on the Herrscher's core.

The pyramid's spire opened, and the Herrscher's Core sank into it, then the spire closed again, severing the Herrscher's Core's connection to the cocoon and trapping the Honkai energy within it.

Looking at the blue gem that had returned to its seal, Ruan Mei withdrew her hand, and her mind couldn't help but emerge from the conversation she had with Mebius a few days ago.

It was not a pleasant conversation. After all, Mebius was unable to face her own heart, or perhaps she was still upset with her "mother".

"Is it because I put too much pressure on her?" Ruan Mei couldn't help but reflect on whether her over-the-top educational method had a serious negative impact on Mebius.

The idea died down after a few seconds.

Because in memory, the most impressive thing about Mebius was not her beauty or her intelligence, but her character - her stubbornness.

I think I like you, but I say no.

With such a personality, Mebius is like a little snake curled up in an eggshell. We can only wait for her to come out on her own and let time slowly change her.

All Ruan Mei could do was... wait. She also believed that Mebius, or rather, she believed that her daughter, could get out of her cognitive dilemma.

After silent thought, Ruan Mei's gaze fell on the Herrscher Core again. She held the pyramid containing the Herrscher Core in her palm, and a ball of blue flame engulfed the pyramid.

In Mebius' laboratory, a transparent pyramid appeared silently on the test bench. Next to the pyramid, there was a notebook with Ruan Mei's handwriting on it, which recorded some information about the core of the Ruler of Reason.

After doing all this, Ruan Mei summoned the phase spirit fire and transferred herself through space.

space transformation.

The surrounding scene changed from the original sci-fi laboratory to an extremely desolate wasteland. However, when looking up at the sky, I found that this was no longer on Earth.

SOL-4, the fourth planet in the solar system, or Mars.

The surface is covered with craters, canyons, sand dunes and gravel. At first glance, you can tell that this is a planet so harsh that no life can survive.

This is what humans on Earth know about Mars today, but it is not actually the case, or rather, it was not the case before.

Beneath the barren land lie the ruins of a vanished civilization. Even though they are highly weathered, one can still catch a glimpse of a corner of that highly developed civilization from the remaining buildings.

But this is not the purpose of Ruan Mei's trip.

After Ruan Mei came to this world, she placed something here.

It was a silver metal cube, only the size of a palm, and looked inconspicuous. It was thrown on the roadside and almost no one was interested in it. Perhaps only scavengers would take it to the scrap yard to exchange it for money.

But in fact, this is something extremely important.

This piece of metal is the deposit delivered by the Order Envoy to Ruan Mei. It is the starting point and support of his plan to become a god.

A wonderful life that connects many universes, but at this moment, this life has not yet awakened, because the plan of the Order Messenger has drained all its energy, forcing it to fall into a deep sleep.

The metal shell on the outside is not its true body, but a barrier that protects it in its sleep. The real body is inside the metal shell. It is a ball of light emitting soft white light.

Ruan Mei had done some research on this life before, but later stopped because of the interruption of the Order Messenger. In addition, there was another reason, which was the lack of energy.

This life with magical powers does not require the common electrical energy, bioenergy, nuclear energy or anything else, but requires energy that is closer to the essence of energy - this may be the reason why it can travel through the universe.

In the universe of Bengtie, the essence of all energy, whether it is Honkai energy or the power of destiny, is actually imaginary energy.

In the world of Honkai Impact 3, the most striking aspect of Honkai is the conversion between Honkai energy and imaginary energy - the definition of Honkai energy is imaginary internal energy.

It can be said that Honkai energy is closer to the essence of power than the power of destiny, and the reason for this phenomenon is the existence of the cocoon.

The cocoon is a mechanism launched into the solar system by a powerful alien civilization, but it itself does not possess any real power. It can be regarded as a door, a door connecting the present world and the essence.

As for how it was born and how that alien civilization made it, there is no way to study it because that civilization no longer exists.

Ruan Mei guessed that this might be the work of a genius, but the truth was unknown.

In short, it is highly likely that Honkai energy can provide energy for this life.

Ruan Mei came here this time to confirm this.

Through her research on the core of the Ruler of Reason, although she was unable to completely analyze the existence of the cocoon, there would be no problem if she could perform simple operations on the Honkai energy.

……

"My guess has been confirmed. Honkai energy can indeed provide energy to this life form. However, it has already overdrawn too much energy. Even after receiving Honkai energy, it still cannot wake up. Judging from its life signs, it still needs more energy."

"Based on the current rate of Houkai energy conversion, it will take about half an Earth year for it to awaken."

Ruan Mei wrote down the conclusions of the experiment one by one. In front of her, the majestic collapse energy filled the space, so much so that the space changed color. It was a concentration that could corrode ordinary people into ashes the moment they came into contact with it.

But such terrifying energy became food for the metal cube. The metal cube suspended in the air was like a whale with its huge mouth opened, greedily swallowing the Honkai energy in the air.

A vortex visible to the naked eye appeared in the air, and the center of the vortex was exactly where the metal cube was located.
