In the distant depths of the universe.
A giant machine head was calculating all things in the cosmos.
The computational power of one of its calculations would exceed the limits that humanity could record.
At this moment, it was calculating the future, as always.
It intended to anchor the entire destiny of the universe.
Suddenly.
A layer of the machine head's outer shell fell off.
??
That strange power again—it could peel off its skin even across billions of light-years.
Although there was no substantial damage, it still managed to affect its state.
This was outrageous.
It had never encountered an event like this before.
It happened last time, and it failed to calculate the target's information.
And now it's happening again?
Thus.
Nous directly traced the source, found the target location, and deployed a projection.
This was the machine head phantom that currently appeared in the Jarilo-VI Star System.
"Is that an Aeon's projection? Someone here actually managed to get an audience with an Aeon?"
Jade was stunned.
The phantom of the aeon of erudition in the sky was enough to drive members of the Intelligentsia Guild into madness.
"I knew this place had something interesting... Could Oliver be having an audience with the Aeon?"
If that were true, she would profit immensely from this venture.
She must firmly secure her connection with Oliver.
Screwllum looked up and saw the Aeon's projection in the cosmos, causing his mighty frame to tremble involuntarily.
"As expected of Herta, her foresight is still so sharp, capable of finding a prodigy who can summon an Aeon."
"Conclusion: Befriending Oliver was the correct choice."
Inside the lounge of the Qlipoth Fort.
Ruan Mei looked up from the window, similarly drawn by the Aeon's projection.
She wanted to study how the fundamental essence of an Aeon's life differed from that of a person.
Frustrated by her inability to see an Aeon, she had been unable to conduct her research.
Now it's good; she saw it, but unfortunately, it was only a projection.
Although the aeon did not look at her and was not there for her, Ruan Mei knew who had attracted the aeon, and there would be opportunities in the future.
"Sure enough, you are the key to my future. My research needs you."
Ruan Mei muttered to herself, then took a sip of her drink.
Red light illuminated all of Belobog.
People were both surprised and scared.
Such a huge machine head hanging in the sky, like it was about to crash into Jarilo-VI, who wouldn't be afraid?
Especially those with megalophobia, their legs turned to jelly.
Oliver himself hadn't expected the aeon of erudition to send a projection.
Perhaps next time he strips its clothes, its true body will arrive?
Suddenly.
The red light covering the entire planet began to shrink, focus, and converge on Oliver.
An indescribable will seemed to be impacting his brain.
Fortunately, with the system's protection, it wasn't a big problem.
"Don't steal my thunder! I'm the protagonist."
When Herta saw Nous focus its gaze on Oliver again, she immediately became anxious.
"Alright, I'm leaving. You seize the opportunity yourself."
Oliver gave Herta an OK sign.
Then he silently chanted: Activate script!
"Randomly activate character script."
"Jingliu."
"Randomly draw a concept-level golden Entry."
"Immortal's Kneel: 100% chance to be disarmed and kneel to receive a blade. Life forms unable to put their palms together will be directly cleaved apart."
After activating the script, Oliver disappeared directly.
Nous lost its target and once again covered the entire planet with red light.
It seemed to be scanning.
"That's right, look at me!"
Herta smiled confidently and shouted, "machine head, I ask you... what is..."
Before she could finish, the red light vanished with a whoosh.
Along with it, the projection of Nous also disappeared.
Its departure took only three seconds.
Herta stood frozen, her smile instantly solidifying.
Then the corners of her mouth kept turning down, her face so dark it looked like it could drip water.
True despair is not a big fuss.
True disappointment is not a flood of tears.
"machine head, I should have refused to be an Emanator of Erudition back then. If Idelila were still here, I would definitely switch allegiances!"
Herta was so angry she almost ascended on the spot.
She wanted to curse the machine head but couldn't find the right words.
She could only reminisce about the days when she almost became an Emanator of Beauty.
"The machine head and Oliver definitely have something going on. He's on call whenever. I must uncover this secret."
Herta had a new goal.
She decided to study Oliver in the future to see what exactly attracted the aeon.
Could he also attract other aeons?
Before that.
The Divination Commission of the Jade Court Starship.
General Yueyu and Fei Xiao completed the verification of the Ten Directions Light Reflection Dharma Realm.
A jade messenger floated before them.
Yao Guang: "Your dreams are too Mysteriousness for even the Ten Directions Light Reflection Dharma Realm to display, so we could only divine the future. The result is that you are beneficial to the Alliance and harmless. Furthermore, the Aura of the star-fated bow is genuine. These two points are sufficient proof."
Yao Guang: "Welcome home, General Yueyu."
General Yueyu smiled at the jade messenger, "I'll continue to trouble you in the future, Yao Guang."
Fei Xiao didn't speak beside her, but she was complaining in her heart.
Yao Guang always hides in the dark, controlling the overall situation from a place no one can find.
Even few local residents of the Jade Court Starship have seen her true face.
She is truly a king of caution.
But Yao Guang's contribution to the Xianzhou is undeniable; it truly wouldn't work without her.
Yao Guang: "I will report this matter to the Alliance and reactivate General Yueyu's military status. I'm sure the Alliance will be very pleased."
"With an additional General's combat power, those old geezers must be thrilled."
Fei Xiao teased.
Yao Guang: "Oh, by the way, the person you mentioned named Oliver, can he be brought here? I'd like to see him."
General Yueyu and Fei Xiao shook their heads simultaneously, speaking in unison: "Not yet, he's still busy saving the world."
They themselves felt they had too much chemistry.
Yao Guang: "Very well, we will meet when the time is right."
Yao Guang: "This matter is concluded. I won't keep you two. Please make yourselves at home."
After speaking, Yao Guang's jade messenger automatically closed and fell to the ground.
A diviner from the Divination Commission walked over to pick it up and put it away; it would be needed again next time.
General Yueyu and Fei Xiao exchanged glances, then left together.
Both were very fortunate, just as Oliver had said, the heavenly secrets were obscured, making it impossible to deduce events from their dreams.
Even the Blessing of Abundance sown in them by Oliver was not detected.
As long as they didn't overuse the power of Abundance, no one would be able to tell.
After all, Xianzhou people and Foxian already had the Blessing of Abundance.
Soon.
Yao Guang reported the verification of General Yueyu and Fei Xiao to the Marshal.
The Marshal then announced it to the entire Alliance.
All the Xianzhou knew about General Yueyu's resurrection, and they were all shocked and joyful.
Xianzhou Luofu.
Jing Yuan was very surprised after seeing this announcement.
The resurrected General Yueyu was indeed the former General of Yaoqing, even possessing the Aura of the star-fated bow.
"Minister Fu, this is truly incredibly bizarre. What do you think is the origin of this Oliver they speak of?"
Across the chessboard sat a delicate, petite girl—a girl hundreds of years old.
"Ask me? You give up your General position, and I'll tell you."
Fu Xuan seriously held a black chess piece, searching for the best position on the board.
"Heh." Jing Yuan yawned, closed his eyes, and mumbled, "I envy Heavenly Strike General for being able to reunite with her master. But I heard they call each other sisters, how strange."
