Transform into Ruan Mei and start from the battlefield of national destiny

"We... can this word mean that there are more than one existence like you in all the worlds?" Ruan Mei chewed on the information revealed by the ball of light.

"It is natural. We exist as numerous as the stars, but compared to billions and billions of worlds, our existence is like a needle in the ocean."

Ruan Mei nodded slightly, then asked, "What's your purpose?"

"Traveling in the infinite world, collecting and cultivating strong people - of course, in my opinion, with your strength, we are completely of no help to you." If it were a humanoid, the light ball would probably have shrugged and spread its hands when saying this.

"Let's get back to the point. We were born from the world's will to survive. In every moment, countless worlds are born and countless worlds perish. The dying worlds are unwilling to die. At a certain moment, the ripples stirred by their will give birth to living entities, which are balls of light like us."

"So we will cultivate worthy strongmen to save these dying worlds. That's it. As for beings like us, we don't actually possess strong powers. Apart from the ability to travel through worlds, we are powerless to do most things."

At this point, a faint sigh emanated from the light ball. "If I hadn't suddenly arrived in your world and met that being called the Order, I wouldn't have known that the fuel we possess to travel across worlds could actually isolate the universe."

"..." Ruan Mei gazed at the nebula in the distance, calming her inner turmoil. "Can I assume that the worlds you've seen are as numerous as stardust?"

"...Ahem, I'm just a newly born being. I haven't been to many worlds, but what I say is absolutely true. This is the memory passed down from birth!" The outline of the ball of light trembled violently, as if it was a little excited. "But I can still tell you about the worlds I've visited before."

"The one that impressed me most was a planet with countless parallel worlds. It was also called Earth, but centered around something called the Holy Grail. These parallel worlds spawned a thousand parallel worlds. In one parallel world, a dozen people were fighting for the Holy Grail. In another, the Holy Grail War was fought on the moon. In another, even human civilization was on the verge of destruction."

"Holy Grail War... Type-Moon?" Ruan Mei thought of the game she had played before.

"Hmm? You know that world? Hmm... that's not surprising. After all, there is occasional information exchange between worlds. For example, what happened in world A becomes the novel in world B. This is also one of the ways to maintain the existence of the world." The light ball flickered a few times.

"Can you take me to those worlds?" Ruan Mei asked.

"So suddenly? It's certainly possible. Our method of cultivating strong individuals is to take them to another world. However, for you, most worlds are completely ineffective. On the contrary, if you stay in this world, your growth rate should be even faster. After all, the magnitude of this world is indeed very high."

"Power is not what I want." Ruan Mei shook her head.

"Not seeking strength?"

"What I'm looking for is the essence of life. Since there are countless worlds outside this world, I'm curious whether the essence of life in these worlds is unique, and whether the life in all worlds is exactly the same." Ruan Mei's calm tone set off huge waves in the heart of the light ball.

It seemed surprised by such great ambition. After a long silence, it said, "In that case, I will do my best to help you. After all, you saved my life. However, I'm afraid this wish is too difficult to fulfill."

"Too difficult" is a euphemism. From the perspective of the light ball, the probability of this happening is zero, which is something that is simply impossible to happen.

Ruan Mei heard the voice-over from the light ball, but didn't say anything. She just looked at the stars in the distance: "I just long for something pure, that's all."

"As long as I can replenish enough fuel, I can take you on a world jump," the light ball said. "After all, the energy I'm absorbing now is barely enough to keep me awake, which is already very difficult. I even cut off various modules."

"By the way, from now on, for the sake of convenience, you can call me the Guide. According to the settings of some works on Earth, the integration of lives like us should be called the Reincarnation Space or the Main God Space or something like that?"

"Of course, we are definitely not those cold things. Even though I am speaking without tone or in a mechanical voice, it is simply because most of our functions have been shut down." The light ball, or the guide, further emphasized.

Chapter 57 Little Mebius

Mebius has been in trouble recently, and World Snake's employees, investors, friendly competitors and the general public are also troubled, because a few months ago, Mebius, who occasionally appeared on social media, has completely disappeared from the public eye.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Mebius has disappeared. The fact that medical products are still being produced in the World Snake proves that Mebius is still there. It’s just that everyone doesn’t understand why she has turned down all online and offline activities.

Even various meetings within the company are now chaired by Klein and Blanca, so much so that a conspiracy theory has spread that Mebius has actually been sidelined by Klein and Blanca and locked up in the laboratory.

At first, everyone scoffed at this conspiracy theory. After all, who was Möbius? He was the world's most brilliant scholar, and also the most insane scientist. How could such a person be controlled by two ordinary human women? Or did she hire her own lab assistants?

However, as time passed, conspiracy theories gradually began to ferment. The reason was simple: Mebius never showed up. Even if there was occasional communication, it was through the phone and she was nowhere to be seen.

As a result, conspiracy theories that were originally ignored gradually entered the public eye, and even some unscrupulous media and people began to fabricate a series of sensational rumors, such as that Klein had a bald chemistry worker under his command who created a drug that could control other people's minds, or that Blanca was actually a spy who infiltrated the World Serpent and forcibly controlled Mebius with force.

News like this spread like a virus on the Internet, causing Klein and Blanca to be extremely anxious.

So, after being harassed by the two men, Mebius finally decided to show up during the company's anniversary celebration...

For a large enterprise like World Snake, the anniversary celebration is bound to involve the participation of media reporters. With the presence of media reporters, live broadcasts are naturally inevitable. World Snake simply opened an official live broadcast room. After learning that Mebius would also attend the anniversary celebration, a large number of onlookers flocked into the live broadcast room, almost causing the whole room to collapse.

Previously, netizens had mocked World Snake for not even having a live broadcast room set up. However, not long after, the people sitting in front of their computers and mobile phones watching the live broadcast were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped to the ground, and they only had one thought in their minds.

"So, this is Mebius???"

"You mean that mature older sister with a fantastic figure has now become a half-grown loli???"

"What on earth is going on with that eye?"

In the center of the podium, on a seat with a Mebius nameplate, sat an expressionless little girl with green hair. She was probably in junior high school, but she was wearing a very mature, figure-fitting white and black dress, and her slender arms were covered with dark black elbow-length gloves.

What is particularly eye-catching is the pair of beautiful eyes on the little girl's face. Those eyes can make people feel cold at a glance. Within the eyes that gradient from light green to light pink are a pair of reptilian vertical pupils. Combined with her cold expression, she looks like a snake.

At this moment, Klein was sitting on Mebius' left, and Blanca was sitting on his right, listening to a senior executive's work report with great boredom.

The executives of World Serpent were all skeptical about Mobius at this time - skepticism, not doubt, because they were really wondering whether Mobius in front of them was a puppet launched by Klein and Blanca.

Therefore, they were somewhat absent-minded when reporting on their work.

Mobius, who had no desire to attend such a noisy occasion or appear in public, felt even more bored.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's all repetition. Do you really think I have plenty of time?" Finally, Mebius couldn't help but interrupt the executive and waved his hand to let him sit down.

If it was the old Mobius, the executive would naturally not dare to contradict him. However, with suspicion of an imposter, after a brief silence, the executive asked in a slightly unfriendly tone: "Excuse me, are you really Mobius?"

Mobius, who was already thinking about how to conduct the next experiment, suddenly became interested after hearing this: "Oh? Interesting? Why do you think I'm not Mobius?"

The executive scoffed. "It's simple. Mebius is not a little girl like you."

Then, he turned on Klein and Blanca: "Ms. Klein, Ms. Blanca, please don't try to fool us with a fake. Everyone can see that this little girl is definitely not Mobius. You wouldn't try to fool us with nonsense like 'Mobius is rejuvenated,' would you?"

Only Mobius could suppress World Serpent's executives. After all, who could get a piece of World Serpent's pie without a deep background? Klein and Blanka were able to issue orders before, purely because of Mobius's lingering influence.

"Huh..." Mobius laughed as the executive finished speaking. "This is why I don't want to show up in front of you stupid people."

Mobius cupped his cheek with a gloved hand, his pupils flashing dangerously. "But I don't blame you. Mortals cannot comprehend what a true genius is, nor can they comprehend the extent to which I, Mobius, a genius among geniuses, am capable."

"Life is but a toy at my fingertips. This body is the manifestation of my challenge to the gods. I have reached infinity."

Mebius smiled, his smile a little cold.

The executive's body stiffened, but before he could refute, an invisible force forced him to sit down.

A shadow, a dark green snake shadow, appeared behind Mebius. The huge shadow looked down at the humans as tiny as ants in the open air venue below.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, little Mebius floated up. She sat on a metal box, holding a scepter, and spoke calmly.

"Originally, I was thinking about how to avoid making too much noise, but then I realized, yes, I don't need to hide my presence."

"I, Mebius, the man who strides towards infinity, will lead mankind towards true evolution!" Little Mebius raised the scepter in his hand, facing everyone below, facing everyone in the live broadcast room, and facing human civilization, and made his oath.

"Vilvi, let's start." Before anyone could react, Mebius suddenly said a name.

Chapter 58: Era, Moving Forward

"Bah, bang, bang—" applause rang out.

"Oh my, what a wonderful opening ceremony! It actually overshadowed the rest of the show. If it were any ordinary performer, they would have felt immense pressure."

"But it doesn't matter. I, the world's greatest magician and the Magic King of the Twilight Era, Weiwei, will present the most wonderful magic show for you all!"

A lively girl dressed in a very steampunk style appeared in front of everyone. She took off her hat, bent down and bowed, and was not affected by the giant snake shadow behind Mebius at all. Her relaxed and confident posture also made everyone have a premonition.

Perhaps, the scene that will appear next will definitely be no less shocking than the one that Mebius brought to everyone just now.

"Next comes an exciting moment. Please don't hesitate to cheer and applaud, because this will symbolize humanity's march into a new era!"

As Weiliwei finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

Violent tremors.

"What's going on here?"

"What happened? An earthquake?"

Everyone at the scene was talking about it. If the tremor had not been particularly severe, the people here would probably have been thinking about how to evacuate.

"Don't panic, this is just the prelude to the performance. After all, a truly grand magic show must have a grand spectacle to match!"

"Look, look into the distance, look at the sea not far away. Don't blink, don't be distracted, because the scene you are about to witness will become a memory you will never forget!"

Wei Erwei opened her arms exaggeratedly, and the fireworks for the performance also burst out suddenly with her movements.

The headquarters of World Snake is in a coastal city. The vast and clear sea is on the beach next to the headquarters. In order to hold this anniversary celebration, all the beaches in this city have been booked by the wealthy World Snake today. In other words, there will not be a single person on the beach at this time.

All this was of course instructed by Mebius. As for why he did this, it was because if he stayed on the beach playing in the water, the consequence would most likely be that he would become one with the sea.

The originally calm sea surface suddenly became turbulent, and a huge black shadow gradually emerged from under the blue sea. When it broke through the water, the sunlight reflected brilliant golden light on its smooth surface.

It was a giant building measuring in square kilometers, rising slowly in full view of the public.

Submarine? Of course not.

Underwater base? Not really.

Silver metal covers its surface, or rather, its shell is made entirely of metal.

Surfaced, of course, is not its end. When its huge full picture is revealed to everyone, everyone also finds that under this disc-shaped building, several huge nozzles are ready to move.

"Could it be that..." A participant who worked in the aerospace industry saw this scene and subconsciously blurted out this sentence.

The next moment, deep blue flames spewed out from the nozzle, and the huge impact force directly caused the sea level to sink, and this huge disk also moved towards the blue sky.

At this moment, everyone in the city had stopped what they were doing. The huge noise made them feel annoyed. However, when they looked down to where the noise came from, they were stunned with shock.

The scorching beam of light propelled the largest man-made structure ever built into the sky, casting a dark shadow that even obscured half of the city.

"What is that?!"

One person's Adam's apple rolled as he uttered these words with difficulty.

"I can see you really enjoyed my performance, but it's a shame there was no applause or cheers. Is it because you were too surprised? But it doesn't matter. You'll have another chance to chant my name next, because the real performance is still to come!"

Wei Erwei really liked the expressions on everyone's face in the venue. She felt that her strong desire to perform had been satisfied, and it also made her look forward to what expressions these people would show later.

Sending a huge space station into space is Velvet's magic?

Oh, this is too much of an underestimation of this greatest magician and genius in engineering materials science. Weiwei's real design is not something so clichéd. Besides, how can sending something into the sky be called a symbol of the new era?

Velvet's real design, of course, is a space elevator.

Literally, building an elevator to space.

The huge space station, measured in square kilometers, will hover above the Earth's geostationary orbit and then throw a "rope" down.

3.6 kilometers, this will be the length of the rope.

A large amount of industrial materials will be transported to the sky city parked in orbit via elevators and then assembled. Satellites, habitable space stations and even real space battleships will no longer be fantasies.

At that time, mankind will no longer be hindered by passing through clouds and will truly enter the space age.

It sounds like a good idea, but in reality, such a plan can only remain on paper.

Whether it is the threat of space debris, the limitations of materials science, the impact of solar wind, or the influence of planetary gravity, space elevators have become something out of science fiction.

However, all these problems are not problems in front of the genius Vivi. The only thing that limits Vivi is funds, and Mebius happens to have funds.

With the selfless support of World Serpent, the space elevator project has finally been launched today. This will be a symbol of mankind's true stride into space. From now on, the universe will become an ocean for mankind to travel.

Looking at the tiny humans below, Mebius curled her lips. She raised the scepter in her hand, and the huge snake shadow also raised its hand synchronously. At this moment, a thick cable dropped from the air.

"Oh, God!"

This scene is just like what is depicted in "The Creation of Adam". The deep space, which contains infinite mysteries, extends its hand to the new human beings.

Someone kneeled on the ground subconsciously.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful!" Wei Erwei was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. The scene before her was the grand performance she had been expecting. As the planner and performer of the performance, how could she not feel excited?

Fire moth.

When Mebius appeared, the Speaker convened an emergency meeting, and now, the meeting room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The technological level and strength demonstrated by the World Serpent, or Mobius, are far beyond theirs. Perhaps, she will really become the leader of human civilization.

...How can such a thing be allowed? They are the ones who should lead humanity!

"Mebius, does she want to rule the world?" A congressman slammed the table and stood up.

Although the others didn't say anything, their eyes were filled with gloom.

Chapter 59 Things are going to change
