Chapter 143

The greater possibility is that she broadens the concepts of the other two Aeons and is then annexed in return.

As for "Creation," that is Lin Qi’s speculation.

Whether Ruan Mei thinks so, Lin Qi doesn't know.

Perhaps she herself has other ideas.

"Forget it."

"Talk about it later."

"Anyway, she shouldn't be able to realize it for a while."

Lin Qi struggled for a while, feeling a headache.

He decided not to think about this problem anymore.

Even the two words Ruan Mei painted over in the letter, he didn't intend to guess again.

Because he really couldn't guess them.

"For our what? Future? Tomorrow? Or..."

A child?

Very inexplicably, Lin Qi thought of this possibility.

If it were anyone else, Lin Qi definitely wouldn't think so.

But if it were Ruan Mei, anything is possible.

Maybe...

When she left, she wasn't alone!

For a time.

Lin Qi’s headache worsened.

He could only continue reading the letter, no longer thinking about these annoying things.

Besides the farewell at the beginning.

Ruan Mei also explained some other things in the letter.

For example.

She said she left Lin Qi all her life’s research materials and insights, and at the same time, she also researched the key to creating the Iron Cavalry Legion; Lin Qi would understand it after studying it a bit upon his return, and so on.

To summarize, Ruan Mei almost gave all her achievements to Lin Qi.

As long as Lin Qi understands them, he can become another master in the field of creation.

But Lin Qi couldn't be happy.

Because how does this feel like...

A sense of entrusting an orphan?

"Study it when I get back."

Putting away the email, Lin Qi sighed.

The joy of the harvest also faded a lot.

Fortunately, the journey back was not lonely.

Serval on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; Firefly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Weekends...

Arriving at Yarilo.

After returning to Yarilo, the first thing Lin Qi did was go to Ruan Mei’s laboratory.

Sure enough.

There was no sign of Ruan Mei here anymore.

But she seemed to have only taken herself; she didn't move any of the facilities, data, or even the experimental life forms here.

As if they were specifically left for Lin Qi.

She didn't even take a single one of Lin Qi’s Curios.

The only thing she took was the pocket dimension Lin Qi gave her.

Other than that, nothing else.

Checking the visitor records of the spaceport again, when Ruan Mei left, she even took a small ship.

And she left alone, without anyone accompanying her.

"A-Ruan, although I don't know what you want to do, I hope you can succeed."

"Even if..."

"Becoming a god without personality."

For Lin Qi.

Actually, he didn't hope for Ruan Mei to become a god, because Aeons are more or less coerced by their Paths, subsequently losing most of their humanity.

Aha and Akivili are two exceptions.

This is determined by their Paths.

Clearly.

The path Ruan Mei chose, plus her inherently indifferent nature, would only make her even more lacking in the "human" side after "becoming a god."

But compared to failing to ascend or being annexed by other Paths.

Lin Qi hoped she could succeed.

At least that way...

There is a possibility of meeting again.

Afterwards.

Lin Qi, in order to cast aside this annoying matter, used most of his energy on researching Ruan Mei’s achievements.

It must be said.

A genius’s life achievements are not easy to fully grasp.

Even for Lin Qi, it took quite a long time.

Fortunately, with the ten-fold time flow of the dream space, he was able to roughly understand Ruan Mei’s research in just half a year of real time.

Yes.

This is not all of it.

Lin Qi only understood the parts about cultivating the "Swarm" and building the "Iron Cavalry" quite thoroughly.

As for techniques like creating pastry pets, he didn't have the time to research them that deeply for the time being.

Then.

Lin Qi started cultivating the Swarm.

Relying on the "Ecological Breeding Book," an item that can quickly cultivate the Swarm, Lin Qi’s progress was very fast.

He even used the shrinking lamp and pocket dimension technology to lock all the Swarm in a pocket world.

And only invested calculated resources to prevent them from going out of control.

After doing all this, he extracted materials through the Swarm while starting to build the Yarilo Iron Cavalry using Firefly’s genes as a template.

It must be said.

The materials Ruan Mei left behind were truly rich enough.

Even a half-baked person like Lin Qi, after some learning, could successfully reproduce the Iron Cavalry.

Finally.

In the year 8099 of the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou calendar.

The First Legion of the Yarilo Iron Cavalry was successfully built.

These Iron Cavalry originated from the Glamoth Iron Cavalry.

But the core was completely different.

First.

They were built, although also used as weapons, but possessed a certain degree of freedom and personality.

Of course.

They were still commanded by the "Empress."

But this Empress was no longer the "puppet" that controlled the Iron Cavalry for the Republic, but Firefly with free will.

Secondly.

Their equipment was even more sophisticated than the Glamoth Empire.

Their individual combat capability was also higher.

Any one of them was more formidable than the ordinary Cloud Knight soldiers of the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou.

Don't think this combat power is low.

In fact.

The combat power of the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou Cloud Knight soldiers is very strong; broken hands and feet are just superficial wounds, and even if their heads are cut off, they can live if reattached, and they themselves possess strength and physique exceeding other short-lived species.

In terms of individual combat capability, there aren't many in the universe higher than them.

Perhaps only the Abundance people with stronger recovery capabilities have individual combat capabilities above them.

But now.

There is one more, the Yarilo Iron Cavalry.

Lin Qi plans to "produce" one million more within a year.

And replace the vast majority of pure mechanical legions.

Thereby completing the basic construction of the Yarilo Legion.

Lin Qi roughly estimated that such a legion would be absolutely top-tier in any force in the universe.

If Lin Qi led the team, and Aeons didn't step in, it could be called invincible!

Even...

Just sending Firefly out, there wouldn't be many legions that could win.

After the Iron Cavalry was built and formed a certain scale, Lin Qi was surprised to find that Firefly actually had a second Path.

What surprised him even more was that this Path was actually Propagation!

What is Propagation?

The Swarm!

And now, the Propagation Path of the Swarm appeared on a person.

How could this not be shocking?

But fortunately, Firefly only awakened this Path and didn't turn into a bug.

And.

With the increase in the number of Iron Cavalry, her Propagation Path power continued to rise.

Up until now, it was even more than the Finality Path power!

The superposition of the two Path powers completely broke the watershed between Emanators and ordinary Pathstriders for her.

Making her not an Emanator, but with strength comparable to an Emanator.

This was verified by Lin Qi.

To this end.

Lin Qi was happy for a long time.

Then he fought several hundred rounds with Firefly, so much so that he didn't leave the bedroom for days and nights.

It wasn't until a message came that Lin Qi ended this hearty battle.

[Herta: Get ready, I’m almost at Yarilo.]

[Lin Qi: ???]

[Herta: Stop with the question marks, I knew Ruan Mei left, so I specifically set off after your mood had calmed down a bit; it’ll be about three days, and I’ll be there.]

[Lin Qi: Not a puppet, right?]

[Herta: If it were a puppet, would I send you a message? No more nonsense, see you in three days.]

[System prompt: Herta has gone offline.]

Lin Qi looked at the chat interface, somewhat speechless.

Herta really comes whenever she says she will.

To be precise.

She only sent the message when she was almost there.

One can only say...

It fits her personality very well.

But she actually considered that his mood would be low after Ruan Mei left, so she waited for a period of time.

That can be considered thoughtful.

It’s just...

I had already moved on, you know.

Whether it’s research or anything else.

Looking at Firefly who had just fallen asleep, Lin Qi didn't disturb her.

Instead, he got up and started thinking about how to "welcome" Herta.

After these years of contact, whether it was Ruan Mei or Herta, Lin Qi was already familiar with their personalities.

Ruan Mei is the kind who is relatively indifferent; for people she doesn't care about or things she doesn't care about, she wouldn't even bother to look at them.

Herta is actually about the same, but when she encounters something she is interested in, she will be more shameless, or rather, she will insist on understanding it even if she has to be thick-skinned.

And when she is by Lin Qi’s side, there are too many things she wants to understand.

The questions are endless.

Besides.

She is actually not resistant to pomp and circumstance.

Although she doesn't say it herself, judging by the attitude of those puppets toward her, it’s hard not to suspect she has a very serious case of narcissism.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qi had an idea.

Welcoming her is too simple.

Just show her some new things, and she can be dismissed.

For example...

The three new megastructures about to be completed in Yarilo.

After returning from the stellar mine, besides learning the knowledge Ruan Mei left behind, Lin Qi didn't forget about building new megastructures.

These two things were done simultaneously.

Thanks to the huge improvement in Yarilo’s industrial level and the generous support of the Fleming family.

Now these three new megastructures can be said to be almost finished.

At this moment.

Lin Qi’s plan was to take Herta to visit these three megastructures.

That should be enough to dismiss her.

But then again.

What is Herta’s purpose in coming over?

She never does anything meaningless, unless it is to please herself.

But most of the time, she is out of a certain goal.

So what is she doing coming to Yarilo this time?

It couldn't be...

Coming to comfort me, right?

Lin Qi thought so.

Soon.

Three days passed.

When a large interstellar spaceship docked at the spaceport.

The entire spaceport rang with sounds of welcome.

[Warmly welcome the great Ms. Herta to the Yarilo galaxy! Ms. Herta’s wisdom is superb, and her beauty is unparalleled!]

[Welcome Ms. Herta to Yarilo for guidance! Our company has prepared to be inspected!]

[Thank you Ms. Herta for visiting the Yarilo galaxy, may the light of her wisdom make the galaxy smarter...]

One broadcast after another sounded from all over the spaceport.

Just to highlight one theme.
