Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

Siren turned around and suddenly realized: "That is to say, I was the Herrscher of "Cocoon" before, but now I am the Herrscher of "Tree"! "

"It's not that bad, but it's still much freer than the usual Herrscher. It's similar to the situation after emerging~"

"Hehe." Sirin suddenly smiled and threw herself into Long's arms: "So our old world won't wither because it was changed by the new initial world, right? All the people in our old world can themselves connect to imaginary numbers, Powering the world.”

Long nodded: "Yes, because the so-called "tree" and "branches" are easy-to-understand visualizations. Their essence in the universe does not really need to be inserted into a huge tree trunk to absorb. Nutrition. "

"All worlds, all "leaves" are still connected to "trees", but it is not feasible to describe this connection in terms of meters, light years, size, distance, etc. in four-dimensional space and time. "

"Every universe is infinite. Even when space expands to its limit, even atoms will split and the universe will be completely dead. It is impossible to find the so-called end of space."

“In higher dimensions, the word ‘distance’ has lost its meaning. "

Xilin nodded: "Yes, that's why I can run around in many worlds~"

"Then Dad, does that mean that as long as I continue to work hard to adapt, in the future I can directly rely on connecting imaginary numbers and become as powerful as the Herrscher of the End without the need for a "cocoon"? "

Long scratched Sirin's nose and smiled: "Not only the Herrscher of the End, the power of "Cocoon" also has limits, but it is a planet-level existence.In the vast tree of imaginary numbers, there are countless such powerful existences, even stars, burning galaxies, and super-clusters of galaxies. "

"And Sirin, as a new human being, you are still my daughter. Your affinity for trees is beyond imagination, and you have a talent limit that is unmatched in the entire universe."

"As long as you keep going and learn from me, it's not completely impossible to become a smaller Tree of Imaginary Numbers. It's not impossible to even inherit part of my status."

Xilin became excited: "Dad, are you talking about the entire tree of imaginary numbers?"

Long nodded, rubbed Xilin's face and said: "My complete identity is this entire "world view", including trees, seas, and wider giants. "

"As my daughter, it's okay to inherit some of it."

Xilin nodded: "I will definitely work hard! Let the entire universe know that I, Xilin, am worthy of being my father's daughter!"

"Okay~ Those things are too long ago." Ellie walked over with a nice scent of shower gel: "How about we travel to all the worlds together in the future?"

"There are so many worlds, I can never see them all~"

"Too curious?"

Ai Li came over and took Xilin from Long's arms and said, "My dear, you go take a bath~ I want to chat with my good daughter and ask how the old world is now."

"Well, it's so late. You can go to bed and chat. Don't catch a cold... Haha, you can't catch a cold either."

"Yeah, go ahead, honey, the bed is a bit small, so I have to sleep on the sofa tonight. Sirin and I will put the blankets and pillows away."

"Okay~" After finishing speaking, Long walked towards the bathroom.

After making the bed for Long, Ai Li and Xi Lin turned the lights to night light and lay on the bed. Xi Lin got into Ai Li's arms and chatted with her pillow on Ai Li's chest.

"Wow~ So what will happen to the world after we leave?"

"Well, although dad, Ellie's mom, and everyone in the Fire Chaser disappeared and returned to the original new world, everyone still remembers this situation."

"The world is peaceful, and everyone is committed to the development of science and technology, solving poverty problems, etc."

“Although it’s only been ten years, the changes have been really huge.”

"Aunt Theresa, Dr. Tesla, and Dr. Ein also reconciled, and Anti-Entropy became the Destiny branch again."

"With their consultations, the world began to unite, and the United Nations finally became useful."

"Because everyone's connection with imaginary numbers has been strengthened, they are not afraid of Honkai energy. Honkai energy can penetrate into all aspects of human life. As a result, various technologies and materials have developed rapidly."

"Dr. Tesla led many projects, and Dr. Ein also produced many breakthrough theories."

"When I began to explore the tree of imaginary numbers and the parallel worlds of the past, the anti-entropy doctors also began to explore the universe."

"The action is very fast, because there is soul steel manufacturing technology, Hyperion's transformation, the design drawings of the starship in the ruins under Lake Baikal, etc."

"Before I set off for my latest exploration and came to this world, doctors were already using technologies related to imaginary space to build jump ships."

"In just ten years, the lunar base and the Mars base have become very large. The advancement of protective network technology has led to the rapid development of regional ecosystem technology. Several settlements with a capacity of [-] people have been established on the moon and Mars. Cargo spaceships have flown all over the world. Non-stop.”

"Space is not difficult for humans. As long as there is Honkai energy, everyone can survive in the universe."

"Humanity has taken a solid first step in exploring the universe."

"It is said that Uncle Walter is also preparing to leave for other cosmic areas in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, but it is different from the one I am going to... I am going to trace the origin along the branch that belongs to the earth."

"But Uncle Walter is going to other branches, which is different."

"Human beings are currently exploring the distance between the physical universe and the parallel universe, both in terms of breadth and depth."

Brand new branches: 402. Capture the Herrscher of Knowledge

As Xilin narrated, two very gentle breathing sounds gradually sounded in the dormitory under the comfort of the small night light.

The new humans who have survived the collapse have also begun their own journey after leaving their infancy.

And it is moving forward at a strong and solid pace.

When Long came out of the bathroom.

Both the daughter and mother were asleep.

Siren held one of Alicia's hands tightly, and her body was surrounded by Ali. The two of them rested their heads against each other with their mouths turned up, making people want to draw a picture of the Holy Child and Madonna.

Long stroked the hair between Sirin and Alicia's foreheads, lifted the blankets for them, and turned off the night light beside the bed.

When they came to sleep on the sofa in the living room, Xilin and Ai Li had already laid out pillows and mattresses.

Hmm... Let's change it to a family suite tomorrow, just stay at Hen's place, so that Siren can play with Gratius, go to school and so on.

Hen and Blanca don't have to worry about Gratio's placement when they get busy, and they don't have to go to the Mebius laboratory all the time... Well, if Mebius knows, he will scold me secretly, right?

Why don't you let Siren take Gratius to play around~

......

One day several months later.

The Fire Chaser Moth's base is still busy, with personnel and resources mobilizing around the world going on as usual.

Honkai events are somewhat frequent, so another Herrscher is probably coming.

The adults are all busy.

Gratitude and Siren started playing around in the base.

He would often find a secluded place to rest so that Gratius could draw what he saw.

Naturally, they would run to the Mebius Laboratory.

Only a few people like Mebius and the others came in and out there, which was very comfortable for Gracie.

That is to say, Danzhu is very lively and often makes mischief with Gratitude, asking Gratitude to draw what Danzhu wants.

But that's okay, Gratius also likes it.

A lot of information there is also very interesting to Siren. Coming from the old world, she can understand it completely. Learning is endless, and there is still a lot worth learning for Mebius.

...

On this day, Xilin and Graciu, who had just played around in the base and seen all kinds of new and wonderful machines, returned to the laboratory.

No one else was in the laboratory, not even Klein Mebius and the others.

"Ok?"

"Gratius, go rest or draw. Sister, please play with your phone for a while."

"Okay, Sister Xilin."

Xilin sat down on the chair, smiled slightly when she saw Gracie running past with cheerful steps, and took out her phone to read.

But I only watched it for less than ten minutes.

Suddenly, Xilin found that the video was stuck.

I looked up and saw that the network signal was disconnected?It hasn't recovered even after a few minutes.

This is impossible?This is the headquarters base of Fire Chasing Moth, connected to the entire world.

It is impossible for the network here to have such long-term problems!

Xilin stood up and looked towards the laboratory... There was no doubt that the display screens in the laboratory that could connect to the outside world were also disconnected.

Xilin frowned. She thought of the possible reasons for the disconnection, and walked over to Gracie to see the situation.

Fortunately, Gratitude was drawing her comics quietly.

"Sister Xilin?"

"It's okay. Sister, please move your body and take a look. Continue painting, Gracie. Don't touch electronic devices or look at the screens in the laboratory for the time being, okay? Sister is right outside the laboratory door. If you need anything, just call me. .”

"Huh?....Well, Gratio understands."

"Hmm~", Xilin smiled softly and rubbed Gratio's head, and walked out of the laboratory with Gratio's head dangling cutely.

Siren, who had just arrived outside the laboratory, expanded her senses and tried to explore the existence of the Herrscher.

After what had just happened, she guessed that the Eighth Herrscher of this era must have been born.

But because of his father's advance presence, Fire Chaser Moth prepared some countermeasures in advance.

Nowadays, the loss to human beings should not be big, but network interruption is a very troublesome thing for modern people...

"Are you out? Where is Gratius?"

There was a voice beside her, and Siren remembered that it was Mebius.

Whether it was after they arrived in the old world or during this period, they were very familiar with it.

Judging from what dad said, Aunt Mebius should also know what happened to her.

Siren opened her eyes and withdrew her senses, nodded to her and said, "Aunt Mebius, Gratius is drawing inside. The Internet is disconnected and the screen is turned off."

"The network communication at the Fire Chasing Moth base was shut down just now, right?"

Mebius nodded: "Yes, your father left a lot of countermeasures before he came down from the moon, so he guarded against such a move from the beginning."

Siren touched her chin: "But in this case...the rest of the world is still being ravaged by the Herrscher of Knowledge? But if they are all closed, it will cause quite a lot of trouble, right?"

Mebius raised his lips: "Who told you that we shut down the base's network and shut down the world's network?"

"Ok?"

Mebius pointed out the window of the corridor: "The Herrscher should have arrived by now."

Xilin looked outside and realized: "Is this a trap!?"

Before Siren could get a reply, a "pattern" appeared where Mebius's feet were stepping...or the space-time coordinates where he stepped. It was the manifestation of the "essence" that every fusion warrior would have. .

Even Siren has one.

But she is not integrated into the "network" of this film now, so she cannot notice what is going on.

Siren subconsciously turned her head to check, only to see dozens of energy fluctuations and auras appearing like Mebius's "essence".

They saw that they were all connected, bringing the "net" to this time and space and replacing it.

It is like the operation of imaginary number space overlaid on real space.

It completely trapped the Herrscher who came to the network equipment here.

As Xilin saw, this was a trap with no possibility of escape.

The "net" is so huge that no single Herrscher can escape.

The materialized "net" rapidly shrunk under the joint operation of the fusion warriors at the headquarters base, peeling off the Herrscher of Knowledge from the device and exposing it to the real space replaced by the "net".

Soon, it shrank to the size of a gem.

Siren could see the gem emitting a faint light in the sky... The Herrscher of Knowledge was there.

It can no longer escape.

"Aren't you going to get it?" Mebius's voice came again.

"...", Xilin thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Really..."

Mebius said that he withdrew the manifestation of his essence, and the restrained Herrscher also disappeared into the real space, bound in the "net".
