Collapse, survive

"Yes, my good Eden, do you have any suggestions?"

Alicia's perfectly planned first encounter was stolen by Möbius before it could even begin. After calming down, she tried again...

Velvi: Hi hi hi!

She was a little discouraged now, but of course she was just pretending and was just being coquettish with Eden.

It's so easy to understand...

So terrifying.

“I don’t have any good advice, after all, it depends on what our guests think.”

Eden looked at her with doting eyes, and then the older sisters all looked over.

"Fang Jie, what do you think?"

Fang Jie wanted to see the cat, preferably catch her and pet her, since she was more sincere than anyone else, directly showing her belly.

But he didn't say that: "Thinking about it carefully, I'm actually fine with anything. I've already met the most adorable you, so what's next... well, whatever."

He suddenly fell silent at this point.

"Xiao Fangjie, you said something that really hurts your chances. Boys shouldn't be so casual."

Alicia acted as if it were a serious matter.

"Did pre-civilizations also have this idea?"

"Well..."

Alicia's eyes lit up: "Is there such a saying in your hometown too?"

Indeed there is.

There are.

This involves the issue of prototyping. As Vilvi said, we shape architecture, and then architecture shapes us.

Or it could be explained by eternal recurrence. Fang Jie had thought about these questions very hard, but the more he thought about them, the more illusory they seemed, so he simply gave up.

Fang Jie didn't really want to talk about these things: "I guess all humans are the same, just like beauty always has similarities."

"Boys can't be perfunctory either, but never mind, you pass."

Alicia smiled, a bright and cheerful smile.

"At this time, a cute and witty girl should offer good advice."

Clearly, she is the witty and adorable Alicia.

Eden listened to this rather simple and unpretentious meeting with a look of deep agreement. Fang Jie, having come to the Paradise of the Past, was not in a hurry to do anything, unlike when he was in the outside world.

Just seven days.

When he left and returned, the world was turned upside down seven days later.

Although a dark cloud still hangs over the horizon, for the heroes who understand the collapse, that is enough to see that dawn is about to break.

Kevin never left the Sea of ​​Quanta, which means he no longer needed to be obsessed with his Stigmata Project.

And the heroes of the past paradise...

Mebius and Velvi tacitly interrupted Alicia's plan, although Mebius used Aponia to subtly hint at it.

What is the significance of the existence of the Pure Land of the Past?

When was it completed?

When will it end?

Alicia will make her own decision, and the heroes will also have their own ideas, but without a doubt, they will respect Alicia's decision.

Fang Jie arrived here leisurely, listening to Alicia's enthusiastic recommendation.

"Ahem, the heroes are all very lovely people. Since you haven't decided where to go yet, why not follow the lovely Ellie to the most lovely Eden?"

"Ah, it's me."

Eden didn't expect to be the first one, but he didn't mind: "Ellie, I haven't tidied up yet."

"It's alright, Xiao Fangjie, you think it's alright too, right? Let's go straight to the real Eden, the unknown story behind the wealthy and generous older sister..."

Fang Jie felt that she was just trying to trick him into wearing new clothes.

Hmm, I looked down at myself.

Well, calcite has an aesthetic sense, at least better than raven.

perhaps.

Pshaw, even if his aesthetic sense is a little too advanced for Ying Jie, she is still naturally beautiful.

"Okay."

We set off with pleasure.

……

……

Sure enough, while searching for the golden abode in what was once a golden garden paradise, Alicia soon made a request that Eden could no longer ignore.

—Prepare new clothes for him.

Eden's eyes changed.

Fang Jie sensed it...

Eden tailored the clothes to her measurements, embroidered with gold threads. Before long, Fang Jie was pushed by Alicia into the fitting room to change into this magnificent yet simple new dress.

"Quickly, quick, this is Eden's gift, put it on quickly, Xiao Fangjie."

"Ellie, you're like an old woman."

Fang Jie was indignant.

Although they didn't say it outright, and Alicia could appreciate all beauty, Eden's polite disdain was not concealed afterward, especially when it came to tailoring clothes, which almost pierced Fang Jie's heart.

That serious, unyielding expression—get a new one right now!

Its majestic and elegant beauty exudes a sense of awe.

Eden, in fact, has grandeur.

"Pfft, so I am the kind of person who can become Xiao Fangjie's mother. Oh, how honored I am."

Listening to Fang Jie's rare吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical remarks), which was comparable to facing Möbius directly, Alicia turned around and raised an eyebrow at Eden with a smug look.

Eden, unperturbed, toned down his imposing manner: "Ellie, I have no doubt that he has the talent to create a new world, but if the new world is created in his way, it will be a terrible world."

This event is also recorded in "Bleach".

Aizen's transformation under the influence of the Hogyoku ultimately led him to become completely inhuman, and his Hokai...

Don't be fooled by his facade of humanity, which is based on human perception. You can tell what he's really like by how alluring he is to Möbius.

Mebius was the kind of person who was more practical and didn't care that the process of evolution was always ugly.

But Eden...

She is very worried about the new aesthetics that Fang Jie might bring.

Just as people say that monkeys imitate humans, this standard is from a human perspective.

From a human perspective, humans imitate those who are superior to them.

They even follow in the footsteps of God!

Everything that is superior is merely a human imitation!

And that person will redefine the rules of everything, becoming the god of the earth, the source of everything, the end of everything, and should be pursued by people.

Kiana is like this, and so is Fang Jie.

The premise is that he can improve his aesthetic sense a little, even if he thinks it's already good enough, and Seele thinks it's handsome and everyone likes it.

"Those heroes are really demanding."

Fang Jie, having changed his clothes, has already come out.

Eden's eyes lit up, not because of Alicia's recommendation, but because he wanted to sculpt her beauty.

"Come here and sit down. You need to fix your hair and it would be best if you could put on some makeup."

"Boys need to wear makeup too?"

This involves a knowledge gap regarding solutions.

"come over."

Her authority brooks no refusal.

Alicia watched the spectacle with amusement.

The balding Möbius probably never imagined that what she desperately sought was nothing more than something Eden disliked and needed to be sculpted.

Even among heroes, there are differences.

.

Chapter 173 Shigure Kira: So?

Her long, wine-red hair swayed gently, and her petal-like skirt swayed with each step she took. Her delicate hands constantly adjusted the color of her cleavage, revealing a pure and untainted pursuit of art and beauty.

She was very engaged.

She even had her eyes closed!

Fang Jie: "?"

Don't get distracted.

This was met with a reprimand, not exactly a scolding, but it showed dissatisfaction. If it were just someone else, Eden could have let Fang Jie squander her talent; what did it have to do with her?

But Ellie made a request.

So--

With a gentle wave of her hand, Eden, who no longer sings, still retains her artistic pursuits for Alicia, meticulous to the point of scrutinizing every single strand of hair. Only her style is suitable for all ages, so that Fang Jie doesn't have to work on his facial expressions.

He's not Alicia, who actively pursues beauty.

His understanding of beauty...

Uh, see Silver Branch for reference.

Health, virtue, and handsome knight's armor, plus some flowers...

Seele always thought it was great.

Even Rand Duck, who likes to send very old emojis, thinks it's alright.

We can't let him be as flamboyant as Sambo, right? Fang Jie's bottom line isn't that deep yet, but Eden obviously doesn't think so. Why imitate others? You should have your own suitable brilliance.

Like polishing a rough stone, she took it all seriously...

"I'm sorry, I can't feel your spirit and your heart. This is the limit. It's just for decoration."

Finally, Eden regretfully gave up and did not continue.

Art is an expression of reality and an expression of hope.

And the brilliance she has cultivated is by no means limited to her appearance.

Reflecting reality and hope, expressing the thoughts of the person—this is the art that Eden envisioned. Unfortunately, she didn't understand Fang Jie enough.

Or rather, she has begun to understand.

"It must be very tiring, moving forward in vain, looking around, with no time left to care about one's own inner world."

Eden said something similar to Alicia's.

Fang Jie didn't know how they came to such a conclusion, but as far as he was concerned...

"I should just be lacking in divine power; my mental state should be fine."
