Just when the administrators and behind-the-scenes observers were at a loss, the program suddenly started running normally again.

"Abnormality...disappeared...data operation normal...starting a new cycle."

Many people and "humans" breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, but in a corner they could not see at all, a deep red crystal was quietly growing, slowly expanding along the energy veins that the people of this world called "Destiny Path", gradually transforming the energy on it into another kind of power, and then taking root and sprouting in this world called Onpharos, constantly transforming the underlying code into its own kind.

After countless cycles of reincarnation, some even stronger races, but with red blood flowing through their veins, will appear in this illusory world, becoming another force vying for rebirth and directly connecting to reality.

The outcome at the crossroads of these three destinies remains to be seen.

(What would happen if the capital of Sichuan Province became Chongqing? (**3*))

Section 79: Excellent men always attract attention.

(One update today, taking a break)

Rhodes Island, nothing happening today.

After resolving a host of problems, Rhodes Island is now enjoying a great reputation.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is debatable, but many people's fates have taken a 180-degree turn as a result.

From this moment on, Talulah is temporarily cut off from the continent of Terra. No one knows where she has gone, and no Originium Arts of fate or divination can locate her. This alone is enough to leave many people speechless.

However, these astonished people were of slightly higher status.

"The recovery is going very well; you can get out of bed today."

"Thank you doctor."

"Thank you doctor."

Froststar and Patriot, father and daughter, who had just completed their routine check-up, were in the same ward. Both were patients under special attention.

Normally, the two of them would be basically waiting to die, but after Wanqi took care of them, they are now normal people without Oripathy. Although they can still get Oripathy if they are not careful, the fact that Oripathy can be cured is enough to calm Kal'tsit down.

Kal'tsit knew better than anyone what Originium was all about. Someone who could eliminate Oripathy would have a decisive impact on the entire Terra civilization.

The fact that the other party can travel between multiple worlds is particularly terrifying.

Even if we take a step back and assume there's still a tiny chance of hope for Frostnova, Kal'tsit knows Patriot's condition all too well. To put it bluntly, Patriot himself was practically a giant living Originium. For Wan Qi to be able to heal him under those circumstances is nothing short of a miracle.

If the treatment process hadn't been kept secret, there would probably be some hidden secrets involved, and it would be difficult to replicate. Kal'tsit really wants to learn it.

Old Zheng's judgment was not wrong at all. Wan Qi's method was essentially another world's technological system's unconventional handling of Originium on a new track. Combined with the unreasonable power of the Red Sea, this completed the entire operation. Magic played a role in providing reliable technology in this process, but these were things that Rhodes Island simply could not have.

Wan Qi is the only person who can mass-produce it; no one else can learn it even if they study it from start to finish.

This is the same reason why Earthlings can't learn Originium Arts; where do Originium come from on Earth?

Compared to the previous two, Amiya's situation is actually more "normal".

Don't misunderstand, it's not that treating Amiya is easy, but rather that Amiya's body is more compatible with Originium. As long as the Originium crystals don't grow in places where they shouldn't, Amiya's Originium adaptability even surpasses Patriot's. However, this isn't her inherent ability, but rather the Black Crown's ability. The Black Crown's maintenance and operation require a constant connection with the energy needs of the Originium crystals. While this grants Amiya powerful Originium Arts abilities, it also makes her Oripathy incurable.

This is a problem with the underlying code. Unless Black Crown changes its energy source, it's a completely different matter.

For Frostnova and Patriot, this is a new beginning. No matter what they have been through, they can now choose to start over, and Rhodes Island has officially extended an invitation to them.

Frostnova has accepted, and Patriot has not yet responded. However, judging from the current situation, this old stubborn man will most likely choose to stay, because he has truly seen hope for changing the situation of the Infected at Rhodes Island.

It is possible that most of this hope comes from Vanchi's overwhelming power, but power itself is the foundation of hope.

Without swords in hand, what's the point of talking about peaceful development?

"Amiya, Amiya, Amiya!"

"Read it! Doctor Kal'tsit, what's wrong?"

"Are you alright? You seem to be spacing out a lot lately." Kal'tsit brought a tray of food to Amiya.

Thanks to the farm that Wanqi opened in the T17 area, Rhodes Island now has a guaranteed supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. The previous nutrient solution packages have been partially phased out of Rhodes Island's menu. In addition, Rhodes Island now has close ties with Lungmen, and the daily supplies it receives are more abundant. Now Rhodes Island only needs to provide nutrient solution packages three days a week, and the rest of the time it provides fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, which has greatly boosted the morale of the operators.

Rhodes Island is thriving, but Kal'tsit has noticed that Amiya has been rather absent-minded lately.

She's fine at work, always diligent and lovable, but when she's alone, she looks out the window with a wandering gaze, lost in thought.

"I'm fine, I'm just... thinking about some things."

If Wan Qi were here, he would immediately understand Amiya's situation.

Influenced by "the memory of the earth".

The three people in the situation at the time were Koschei, Vanchi, and Amiya. Talulah's consciousness was suppressed by Koschei, so she was not affected at all and knew nothing about the outside situation. She could only judge the outside situation through Koschei's emotional changes and some memory information.

Koschke was a prime example of a cunning and shrewd man, and with his values ​​completely different from those of normal people, he was unaffected.

Wan Qi achieved a spiritual and ideological alignment with Emperor Yanwu, but Emperor Yanwu's mental fortitude and resilience were undeniable, and he possessed a complete set of values ​​and memories. Therefore, while there might be an immediate effect, it would be a complete loss afterward. At most, he might occasionally revisit those memories, and while the influence wasn't entirely negligible, it was mathematically negligible, amounting to an N decimal places.

Amiya, however, was young and immature, and her values ​​and mental fortitude were not as strong as the other two. The woman who possessed her, Eri, was a gentle yet resolute woman. The two were very compatible, so after the battle, Amiya was naturally deeply affected and would often think about what happened back then.

But that was E's memory, not Amiya's. However, the human brain has a certain ability to self-modify, so the image of Emperor Yanwu in her memory gradually began to be replaced by Wan Qi's figure.

Coincidentally, both of them are the type with exceptional combat power and a willingness to take responsibility, since most people wouldn't be able to say, "You guys go first, I'll cover you."

Everyone on Rhodes Island was still shaken by that fierce battle. If it weren't for Wan Qi's "King vs. King" maneuver that restrained Koschei at the crucial moment, the losses would have been staggering, and Rhodes Island might have been severely weakened.

But with Wanqi, many things were resolved. There were still losses, but the vast majority of people survived, and those who were injured mostly suffered minor injuries.

Of course, Dr. Veltin's excellent command played a part, but the operators under his command still had to participate in the battle themselves. However, Wan Qi's efficiency in killing half a city with a single strike was undeniable.

The battlefield is the place that respects the strong the most and is the place where heroes are most likely to be born. After this battle, Wan Qi's reputation surpassed everyone else's. Operators couldn't help but talk about this great god in their daily conversations, and these voices in the environment naturally influenced Amiya.

Her current state is somewhat similar to that of a young girl experiencing first love.

Normally, this would just be normal curiosity and shyness after puberty, but Amiya's reaction shows she has a goal.

Unfortunately, this target appeared and left without pausing for even a second longer, which invisibly widened the distance between them. The existence of the dimensional phone allowed them to communicate, but Wan Qi wasn't the only one in the group; Wei Erting was also there.

How to describe this feeling? It's like drinking water; only the person drinking knows whether it's hot or cold.

As someone who's been through it all, Kal'tsit can roughly guess Amiya's current state. The hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope is indeed too old-fashioned, but its classic status lies in its countless effective replications, all of which are cases that have stood the test of time.

However, Kal'tsit couldn't say anything at the moment.

Stopping it? That might create a rebellious attitude, it's a dilemma.

Support? Please, Amiya is only fourteen, and that's still the traditional Chinese age! Have some decency! (Slams table)

Although the average age of marriage on Terra is only 13 (including infected individuals), the legal age of marriage in most countries is 16. Considering the natural and man-made disasters on Terra, 16 is already quite old. Apart from citizens of the major powers, the average lifespan of ordinary people on Terra is a pitiful 47. In comparison, during my country's agricultural era, excluding extreme years, the average lifespan of ordinary people was 45, just 2 years less than that of people on Terra.

Comparing the technological levels of the two sides, the gap can only be described as "the population age after industrialization is the same as before industrialization".

Fun fact: Amiya started fighting when she was 11 years old. She herself is a member of the post-80s generation in Terra (nods).

Then let Amiya wait a bit.

Yes, that's the problem. Two years from now, Amiya will be 16, and Veltin, who's always by Vanchi's side, will be 18. A war of attrition? Please, without a blitzkrieg, this is almost a guaranteed loss.

When it comes to matters of the heart, there's no such thing as "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow." You should only bite the grass near your burrow first, okay?

Thinking of this, Kal'tsit sighed.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, are you having some trouble?"

Amiya's concerned gaze made Kal'tsit a little unable to hold back.

My child, you're what I'm worried about, especially when it comes to relationships...

"Some things, besides letting nature take its course, also require personal effort, but in the end, you may need to adopt a more tolerant attitude towards them."

Kal'tsit's words startled Amiya. The little rabbit blinked and asked, "What does that mean?"

"You have feelings for Wan Qi?"

Amiya blushed instantly, then shook her head vigorously, but immediately deflated, and finally didn't know how to speak, turning into a steam princess on the spot.

Amiya's appearance, however, made Kal'tsit chuckle softly.

"Dr. Kal'tsit?" Amiya said coquettishly.

“You’ve grown up too.” Kal’tsit shook her head, her smile fading as she looked at Amiya earnestly.

Her seriousness made Amiya take it seriously as well, and she sat up straight.

“Amiya, you need to understand one thing: a man like Wan Qi will never lack women around him, and sometimes he can’t even remain celibate.”

"What?!" Amiya was stunned, her brain momentarily blank.

Kal'tsit said earnestly, "Amiya, in this world, outstanding people are a scarce resource no matter where they are, and partners, especially those who are compatible with such people, can be found all the way from Yan Kingdom to Iberia. This kind of selection is unfair and one-sided from the beginning, especially the stronger one party is."

"Dr. Kal'tsit, why are you suddenly telling me this?"

"Because I feel it's only a matter of time before you get caught up in it." Kal'tsit gently shook her head. She had seen far too many similar examples in the history of Terra, and hadn't she herself been one of them...?

Never mind, that's all in the past. Now, let's help Amiya answer her questions.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, I don't have..."

“But you didn’t deny it, did you?” Kal’tsit said with the wisdom of someone who had been there: “Strong people are easy to attract the opposite sex, regardless of gender, no matter where they are. Resources based solely on gender are meaningless to them. Amiya, you need to understand one thing: if you want to truly stand by Wan Qi’s side, then you must become someone he needs in at least one aspect, such as intelligence, emotional intelligence, or strength. Only such a relationship can be the most lasting companionship.”

"Okay, I understand!"

Amiya nodded very seriously. She wanted to remember every word Dr. Kal'tsit said next, as these were valuable life lessons that she would surely be able to apply next time.

That's why they say, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."

Amiya's reaction left Kal'tsit with mixed feelings.

From the perspective of Rhodes Island's future development alone, Amiya and Vanchi together would be a very worthwhile investment no matter what. However, she certainly wouldn't see Amiya as an investment, and even from a purely resource perspective, Rhodes Island doesn't have the advantage.

For example, if Liu Xiu had started his campaigns with a million soldiers, over a thousand generals, ample food supplies, and self-trained talent, would he have needed to compromise with any power?

It's just because I don't like someone that I made you easily soluble in water. You'd better obediently carry out the "Movement to Maoling Order".

To succeed someone in the imperial court, you need to find opportunities to invest. For high-quality stocks that don't require your investment, even if you put up millions in gold, you can only be an external shareholder at most. The only one who truly calls the shots is the chairman, because he can become emperor on horseback. It's that simple.

The fact that Wanqi started out gives Kal'tsit this feeling. He clearly has his own team, and his partner, Virtin, is the standard intellectual backbone, considering every detail. Although he is still very inexperienced, such talent is more valuable the younger he is, representing a higher ceiling and more possibilities.

Most importantly, she has already secured a place next to Wan Qi, and their relationship is clearly not simple.

It's impossible to expect a peerless powerhouse to have no other confidantes. However, there's a sequence to learning the Dao, and relationships also have their order. Even in a harem, there's a distinction between the empress and concubines. Besides, even if you could calculate everything perfectly, you wouldn't know what Wan Qi truly thinks. You can only probe little by little, and perhaps even take the initiative.

O

However, Kal'tsit was not surprised by this, nor did she think there was anything wrong with it; at most, she was worried about Amiya.

Don't ask Kal'tsit why she thinks it's normal. She's just seen too many similar cases and can already see the next steps and various results.

At least for now, it's advantageous for Rhodes Island, and hopefully Amiya can find her own happiness based on this.

Sichen Building, Sichen Office

"Wanqi, have you finally succumbed to your desires and started stealing princesses from other countries to satisfy yourself?"

As soon as Xingdi finished speaking, Wanqi remotely controlled the mage's hand to flick her brother's forehead.

"Oh!" Teng Xingdi covered her forehead and squatted down.

"I admire your imagination, but please stop with this brain-killing option."

Standing next to Wan Qi was Xia Die, whose looks and demeanor made her seem like a princess from somewhere.

Putting everything else aside, her attire was a bit too ceremonial compared to the rest of the group. It looked like the kind of outfit that would take a lot of effort to put on, no matter how you took it off.

Girls from ordinary families wouldn't have that kind of leisure and refined taste; it must be a princess.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xia Die."

Xia Die performed a graceful curtsy, showing that the daughter of the Styx was very polite, with every gesture exuding elegance.

"I'm increasingly suspecting that you stole her from me... Oh!"

Xingdi was once again punished with a flick on the forehead by Master Wanqi.

Veltin walked forward gracefully, extended his right hand to Xia Die, and welcomed her, saying, "Hello, Xia Die, I am Veltin, the commander of the Si Chen Squad. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Looking at the right hand extended in front of her, Xia Die hesitated and looked at Wan Qi, who nodded to her.

Then, with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, Xia Die grasped Virtue's right hand.

The scene she feared most did not happen. Afterwards, she shook hands with everyone, and there was nothing unusual about it.

At this moment, Xia Die was filled with an unimaginable sense of happiness; this was her own paradise!

No one cares about his identity, and the curse on him won't harm anyone. He can live here like a normal person.

The last one is probably unlikely, because what the St. Love Foundation headquarters lacks most is normal people.
