People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"During this period of time, you should take good care of yourself."

"Oh, by the way, I also caught the cat you wanted, but it's a little unruly and gives Rita a headache. It's a good opportunity for you to go and help her."

"After a while, when the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle experiment begins, you will be needed to take action."

"Yes, Bishop, I will make amends next time."

This time, since Xia Ling had already transformed the puppet into Su's body in advance, Otto's job of recovering the Second God's Key was much easier. However, on the other hand, when he opened the Second God's Key, he might have to face all kinds of strange paintings that Xi had accumulated during this period.

As for what Xi had accumulated? With Xi's current level, Su didn't dare to let her do any free creation, so Xi's daily task was usually to copy something.

Considering her painting skills, it usually takes a long time to copy a practice work, so Su did not assign her any difficult tasks at the beginning. She just simply copied some scenes inside the Sumeru mustard seed.

However, the system quickly provided a new idea.

Although Xumi Mustard Seed doesn't have much for Xi to copy, it doesn't matter, because there are some in the system.

During this period of trials, Xia Ling's second choice was always Xi. Anyway, he didn't need to pass the level, so the reward could be less, and the time could be longer. However, he could let Xi copy more strange things.

For this purpose, Su also circled a place in the Sumeru mustard seed to store Xi's weekly trial practice results. Although the efficiency is very low and only one or two works can be produced a week, but when Otto opens the Second God's Key... thinking of that scene, Su couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

......

Under Otto's command, Destiny quickly stored all the energy on the floating island.

The next day, at the open-air test site of the Schicksal headquarters, Otto and Yulandel came to the observation platform of the test site. Around the test site, Rita led the Valkyries of the Undying Blade to disperse everywhere, guarding against monsters that might fall from the space cracks.

"Notify all departments, the first experiment of the Second God's Key has begun!"

Following Otto's order, endless energy began to be injected into the Second God's Key. At the same time, the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle was automatically activated, and a purple-black starry sky unfolded above the Destiny Floating Island.

And in the center of the starry sky, a purple beam of light slowly emerged from a world bubble that looked like a planet.

"Everyone, retreat to the second safe distance, stay alert, and don't look directly at that beam of light!"

As the strongest person here, Yulandel could naturally see that this beam of light was unusual. The terrifying energy contained in the beam of light made even her look sideways.

However, at this moment, Yulandel heard a gentle male voice.

"Don't worry, Miss Bianca, come, step into this infinite light..."

Before Yulandel could react, accompanied by a fluctuation of space, the Second God's Key had already locked onto Yulandel and sent her into the Sumeru mustard seed.

"Lord Youlandel!"

Rita was a little panicked when she saw Yulandel suddenly disappearing beside her. However, before she could tell Otto about the situation, Otto's voice came through the communication.

"Rita, be alert, there are unknown creatures falling from the sky!"

Rita looked up. At this time, with the help of the light column, dense black dots had fallen from the starry sky opened by the Second God's Key.

Just like dumping garbage, after quickly throwing these exercises into the testing ground of destiny, the Second God's Key immediately closed automatically and returned to its original state.

However, in the testing grounds, the various teams of the Undying Blade and the Valkyries stationed at the Schicksal Headquarters met with bad luck.

"What the hell is this thing!" A Valkyrie shouted in despair as she watched the blue mushroom-headed creature running all over the ground when it was attacked.

Such scenes were happening all over the test site at this time. Not only the blue mushroom-headed guy, Rita also clearly saw that a Valkyrie was actually swallowed up by a gray giant who was much taller than her.

However, when the surrounding Valkyries quickly killed the unknown creature, this Valkyrie reappeared in the original place intact.

In addition, there are strange marine creatures that keep throwing golden thorn balls, blue conches that stand still, a duck running around on the ground, and a puppy that appears and disappears?

Looking at these strange creatures with sloppy drawings but strong fighting power, Rita understood for the first time what some Valkyries meant by "losing sanity".

"Tsk, I got tricked."

Otto's expression was a little grim. "Immortal Blade, clean up the test site immediately. Amber, transfer all the other floating islands of Destiny over here and prepare to start the experiment again!"

On the other hand, Yulandel, who entered the Sumeru mustard seed, was much luckier than the people outside.

In a trance, she seemed to look back on her life, seeing her entire life from the time she woke up from amnesia in the hospital to the present.

Accompanied by the somewhat dazzling sunlight, Yulandel opened her eyes.

"Is this... the inside of the world bubble?"

At this moment, in front of Youlandel was a lush, towering tree, and under the tree, a gentle gray-haired man was sitting against the roots. It seemed that the voice just now came from his mouth.

Next to him was a little girl who looked delicate and graceful. She was no more than eleven or twelve years old, but she had a pair of pointed emerald green dragon horns on her head. At her side, a jade-white tail with green dragon mane was swaying slightly, wrapped around a doll that looked quite similar to the gray-haired man.

The little girl was holding a drawing board and scribbling on something. When she saw her coming, she looked up at her and then her movements quickened as if she had discovered some rare material.

"Xiao Xi, please draw slowly. Miss Bianca won't leave for a while..."

After giving Xi some helpless instructions, Su turned his gaze back to Youlandel.

"Among the countless world bubbles I have observed, Miss Bianca, your presence is the most impressive to me."

"Welcome to the world bubble I created. You can call it - Sumeru Mustard Seed."

Chapter 21 Orchid Goose

"Don't worry, Miss Bianca, I mean no harm..."

Watching Su begin to tell Yulandel about his identity, Xi silently looked away.

She had already reviewed this plot countless times during meetings in the system space. As soon as Su opened his mouth, she could even recite the next sentence.

Instead of worrying about this, it is better to concentrate on the painting in hand.

Xi looked up again and stared at Youlandel intently.

Apart from Yanwei, this was the first time Xi saw Yulandel. When Yanwei was fighting with her, he did not activate empathy in order not to be distracted, which resulted in other people not actually seeing Yulandel.

As if noticing Xi's undisguised gaze, Youlandel glanced sideways, smiled at her, and continued talking with Su.

"It seems that we haven't reached the stage of collapse yet... Then I will continue to paint for a while."

"Oh, it's broken. I didn't fail in talking, but I think my drawing failed."

Looking at the strange lines on the drawing board with some confusion, Xi suddenly had an idea.

"Got it, let's just change it to that..."

A moment later, Su's voice came from the other side.

"Everything I know, including your suspicion, was within my expectations."

"So go ahead, Miss Bianca."

"For the sake of this world, sacrifice yourself."

Accompanied by a wave of Honkai energy, the other side finally entered the much-anticipated conflict phase.

While Su was letting the water out, he explained the reason and even pretended to create an illusion of Yulandel, deceiving her that this was a substitute who was going to replace her.

"I can only say that he is indeed a stupid goose, being played around by the spiritually-aware Su."

Watching Su pointing at the air and saying that this was Yulandel's stand-in, Xi suppressed the corners of his mouth and tried his best to focus on the painting.

"It's almost finished. As expected, this method of painting will greatly shorten the time consumed..."

While Xi was writing furiously, Youlandel, under Su's guidance, realized the true function of the Wheel of Karma and began to fight back.

At the last minute, Xi finally completed the painting.

"Su, let me help you."

Following a crisp and tender cry, Youlandel and Su turned their gazes to Xi who was standing beside them.

Both Yulandel and Su deliberately controlled their energy during the battle, not wanting to disturb Xi who was standing beside them. Leaving Su aside for now, at least Yulandel believed that no matter whether this pioneer was good or bad, she certainly could not attack a child first.

Under the gaze of the two, Xi threw the still slightly wet drawing paper to Youlandel.

Under Yulandel's vigilant gaze, the drawing paper unfolded out of thin air, and then turned into a breath that was indistinguishable from hers...

Big goose???

That’s right, the reason why Xi was able to complete a painting in just a few minutes was because what she painted was not Youlan Dai'er, but the real Youlan Dai'e.

Look, there is a Yongji sword clamped on the big goose's wing.

"quack--"

The Youlan Goose raised its head, made a few goose calls, and then flapped its wings and rushed towards Youlan Dai'er.

The appearance of Youlan Dai'e suddenly destroyed the serious atmosphere at the scene. The corners of Su's mouth twitched because he found that Youlan Dai'er seemed to really want to have a few moves with this big goose.

Yulandel couldn't see it, how could he not see it? There was not much Honkai energy infused into this big goose at all. The only Honkai energy it had was all used to imitate Yulandel's aura, which could be said to be very lifelike.

"Alas... Second God's Key, please lend me a hand."

Exhausted, Su directly activated the Thousand Worlds Vehicle and brought Yulandel into the illusion he had prepared in advance.

Seeing that Yulandel had entered the first illusion he had prepared, Su pushed Yulandel's body against the tree, then picked up the goose running around on the ground and easily dispelled the power in the painting.

"Xiao Xi, you're making trouble again."

"Oh, Su, it's not good to be so serious. You can't fight or kill in front of children."

"You are indeed a child to me, but to that Miss Bianca..."

"It's okay, it doesn't affect me calling her sister!"

"You..."

"Take advantage of this time to take out your painting."

"Hey, why don't you wait a little longer? You're probably going to get hit again later."

"With your intervention, I don't think I'll have to take that hit. Now that we have plenty of time, let me help you charge the painting."

Seeing Su insisting on doing this, a scroll appeared in Xi's hand.

This painting is a portrait that Xi copied for Su in a week.

And after Su injects his original power into it, in the future, this painting will be able to replace Su and serve as Xi's trump card once.

Su, who had injected most of his strength into the painting, felt a little dispirited. After returning the painting to Xihou, Su sat down against the tree behind him and looked into the illusion of Yulandel.

Xi sat obediently beside him, watching Yulandel's decisions one by one with him.

"I have to say that no matter what position someone like Youlandel is in, her brilliance cannot be concealed..."

"Yes... But there were many people like this in the previous civilization. In the face of collapse, such light is still too weak..."

"Xiao Xi, do you think she will pass the trial?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't ask?" Xi looked at Su strangely, but still replied: "Yes, she will give you an answer that will satisfy you."

"Then, what about us..." Su's gaze looked up at the sky, as if he was looking at something through the Sumeru mustard seed.

"...Yes, I will." Xi was silent for a moment, then answered firmly: "We can still achieve that happy ending, and I will make it even more perfect."

"It's really... a beautiful ideal." Su's mouth curled up a little: "No wonder Ai Li likes you so much..."

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, silently watching Yulandel pass through one trial after another in the illusion.

The speed of time in the illusion is much faster than in reality. Soon, Yulandel's illusion came to the last step.

"Just you know what? I've never seen Rita in such pain as today, never!"

Yulandel dropped her weapon and hugged Rita, who was dressed as Kevin, tightly in her arms.

"I will never let you go through this alone again..."

Outside the illusion, Su, who was fed with a mouthful of dog food, fell into deep thought.

"What's going on? Miss Bianca has passed the first two rounds of trials, and she also knows the huge cost of the Stigma Project..."

"Su, this is the sparkling friendship between girls. To this big sister, Rita is the most important person to her."

"Yes, I think Kevin is also very important to you."

"However, during the trial of the third illusion, you wavered yourself and made me sober up."

"I wanted to punch you, but since there's a child here, I'll let it go."

At the side, Yulandel, who was originally leaning against a tree trunk and lost in fantasy, now stood up.

Chapter 22 Xi: Who do you want to be like?

"...Yes, he is my most important friend."
