Chapter 341

Ruan Mei smiled and picked up another exquisite cake, putting it into her mouth.

"…"

Herta was speechless.

These words didn't sound wrong either.

Even if one wanted to find a partner, a husband, or something?

This man had to have some special skill, either being able to beat her or surpassing her in the path of 'creation' research.

"His ability is very peculiar; it looks very interesting."

"The first half seems like pulling the souls of the dead back, condensing them into a pure soul body."

"The 'soul body' at this stage is completely dependent on him."

"It belongs to a life without wisdom."

"No!"

"Or perhaps it can't even be called 'life'."

"The second half seems to use the power of 'Abundance' to reshape the 'soul body' into a brand new 'life form' different from its predecessor."

"And this point is the reason I want to see him."

As she spoke, Ruan Mei fell silent for a moment.

To this day, her experiments had failed countless times, and the ending was always within expectations.

She had once used the remnants of an Emanator of Propagation to create a 'clone', but the distance between it and that Emanator… was ultimately unreachable.

Trapped by time and space, their life assembly could only be considered a semi-finished product.

Reproducing the moment of its birth, but soon, it would turn into particles and dissipate.

Every clone couldn't last more than 1 minute.

"Like all life forms, gradually welcoming an ending in the process of heading towards the finish line, I don't reject this point."

"Although the life forms I replicate are very short-lived, their lives should also have meaning."

"I want to know what they can do; this represents how far I have walked in an ununderstood field."

Ruan Mei said.

"So, how far?"

Herta chuckled.

Some of the things Ruan Mei made, she knew; some, she didn't.

"Heh, 'a negligible step', the same answer as expected, but he can permanently restore 'life'."

"I'm very curious how he did it."

Ruan Mei pondered.

But she knew very well that this wasn't creating a creation.

It was resurrecting on the existing foundation… and advancing.

It wasn't 'from nothing to something'.

That was resurrection based on the 'dead'.

Strictly speaking, this didn't belong to the category of creation.

And this was still a taboo.

However, it didn't matter.

There were plenty of 'taboo' things; wasn't the Doomsday Beast made from the remains of ancient beasts a taboo?

Her creation was also a kind of taboo.

Of course, in this world, there was no taboo in the accurate sense.

And to him, she wasn't completely 'from nothing to something'; first… at the very least, she needed a 'cell'.

She couldn't create life in a 【World with nothing】.

At least that was the case for now.

This wasn't much different from Lu Shu needing the 'dead' as a prerequisite.

"Then why don't you just go see him yourself?"

"I'm telling you, that guy is lusting after your body."

Herta was speechless.

This woman was just so stubborn.

She felt that Lu Shu wouldn't be able to eat Ruan's Rice.

Unless he came on strong.

This woman had no 'feelings'.

No!

People like them in the 'Genius Society' were all the same.

Walking on the path of exploration, things like 'feelings' weren't exactly discarded like worn-out shoes, but they weren't highly valued either.

Or rather, they could use hundreds of arguments to interpret what 'feelings' were.

But in reality?

Was it that complicated?

Feelings were just sparks that exploded instantly when hormones matched.

"I must admit that the creations born in the process are sometimes moving."

"In them, I see a human-like reaction, a concept diametrically opposed to divinity: they have feelings."

"They are still some distance from geniuses, so they can't distinguish whether this love is friendship, love, or family affection."

"But can geniuses distinguish it? At least I can't… I don't understand what 'love' is, and I have no way to respond to their feelings."

Ruan Mei muttered to herself.

"…"

"Uh… I increasingly feel that I should let that guy Lu Shu sublimate you."

Herta curled her lips.

"Heh, perhaps?"

Ruan Mei smiled.

Then she brushed aside the topic of Lu Shu and chatted about the matters of the 【Simulated Planet】, only then disconnecting the link.

"…"

"Perhaps?"

"Can he make the 'clone' of life persist for another 56 seconds?"

"Or is it?"

"Does the ability to create creations require the power of an 'Emanator of Abundance'?"

"Fortunately, Lu Shu is not an Emanator of Abundance."

"Otherwise, Herta's space station would probably have been destroyed."

If the Hunt swept over directly, the space station would be gone.

Ruan Mei shook her head.

Looking at the exquisite cakes on the porcelain plate, she inexplicably lost interest.

"I'm quite looking forward to the day I meet Lu Shu!"

…

Teyvat.

After chatting with Himeko, Lu Shu exited the group chat.

"Is this considered…"

"A test?"

"As expected, eating Ruan's Rice isn't that easy."

This woman had always wanted to study 'Aeons', but the concept of Aeons was too vague.

So she took a step back and first went to study the 'Emanators' whose life constitution evolution was closer to Aeons.

Using this as a jumping-off point, she would then go to study Aeons.
