Honkai Star Rail: I am Godzilla, domineering and rampant.

"This cultivation pod is based on Godzilla's ecosystem. Its effect is exactly what you saw, by consuming energy, it can restore life that hasn't completely died, even down to the last trace of vitality."

-------------------------------------

After thinking for a moment, a trace of understanding flashed in Herta's eyes.

"It's just that it ultimately can't compare to Godzilla's life-filled ecological domain."

Ruan Mei gently stroked the glass of the experimental pod with her right hand and spoke softly.

Godzilla's ecological domain existed simply because he stood there. It could be said that unless one surpassed Godzilla in the aspect of nature, even beings stronger than him couldn't influence that domain in the slightest.

This degree of capability couldn't even be called a "domain"; it could only be considered a special device.

"What other effects does this device have?" Herta asked curiously.

"I've set up a catalytic function. After activation, it can alter the forms of the creatures within it. However, just like before, such artificially created existences can't last long before collapsing on their own. But it can be used to maintain the ecological environment."

Ruan Mei gently shook her head.

"Uh…" Herta was momentarily speechless.

Honestly, if Ruan Mei didn't meddle with those high-level existences, like Godzilla or Propagation creatures like the Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz, then for ordinary creatures, even forcibly creating an entire planet wouldn't be a problem for her.

But she insisted on butting heads with those entities that were doomed to collapse as soon as they were created.

However, Herta understood Ruan Mei. As a fellow genius, if she encountered a path ahead in her field of expertise and didn't pursue it… she would rather raise her sword and strike at the Aeon of Destruction.

"This thing seems to have other uses too?" Herta suddenly said.

Hearing Herta's words, Ruan Mei nodded slightly without concealing anything.

"As long as the energy wave pattern and size are adjusted properly, this device can be used in the medical field."

Herta nodded. This effect was somewhat inferior compared to the earlier one, after all, medical technology was already highly advanced, especially among the long-lived species, who were practically ageless; they could already achieve remarkable medical feats.

So she wasn't surprised that Ruan Mei had created a therapeutic device.

"How effective is it?" Herta casually twirled a strand of hair and asked.

"If arranged properly… thirty-six of them are enough to safeguard an entire planet."

"Oh, hmm? Hm!"

...

A peaceful everyday life.

A gentle breeze brushed the face, green leaves drifting.

Luofu had its own four seasons. Though it was a worldship, on the surface it was no different from an ordinary planet.

The scenery on the Xianzhou consisted mostly of pavilions and buildings, as well as many unique structures. Some mechanical structures of the Xianzhou were directly exposed outside, gears turning and mechanical hums echoing, stirring one's blood.

"Just looking at the scenery." At this moment, a cheerful female voice entered Bronya's thoughts.

She turned her head and saw Serval handing her two cans of cold drink.

"Finished with work?" Bronya asked as she took her own can.

"How could it be that fast? I've only just scratched the surface." Serval slightly shook her head at Bronya's words.

Since coming to the Xianzhou, apart from paying attention to various rock music of the Xianzhou... but it seemed that Luofu didn't care much about the development of rock music, preferring a more classical charm.

She had heard that if one wanted to learn the rock spirit, the Xianzhou Yaoqing was a good place to go.

And right now, with the Martial Exhibition Ceremony being held, Xianzhou Yaoqing had connected with Xianzhou Luofu, and it was said to be a cyber Xianzhou.

Aside from that, most of her time was spent with craftsmen in the workshop district.

The long-lived species and short-lived species had many similarities in many aspects, but when it came to learning, the long-lived species had the advantage.

After all, as long as one wasn't an idiot, even swinging a hammer for eight hundred years could eventually forge an unparalleled hammer technique.

How could the accumulation of centuries of long-lived species be easily surpassed by ordinary short-lived ones?

"What do you think? Compared to Jarilo, how is the scenery of Luofu?" Serval asked with a slight tilt of her head and a smile.

"Luofu's is more exquisite." Bronya answered without hesitation, then added, "But Jarilo is more suitable for us."

Serval chuckled: "Haha, of course, folks from icy, snowy lands like us will always feel more at home in our own place."

Jarilo might not be as prosperous as Luofu, but no matter how fine a nest is, it's not as good as one's own burrow.

If given a choice, they would definitely pick Jarilo.

"The Xianzhou has traveled for eight thousand years, fighting and striving all the way to achieve what it has today. Jarilo has just begun, but it can catch up eventually."

Bronya's gaze was firm as she spoke.

Hearing this, Serval nodded.

"That's right, and we even have some advantages over others."

After all, Godzilla first appeared in Jarilo!

The title of Jarilo's deity wasn't given for nothing; Bronya's greatest relief was that she and her mother had gone to bring back Godzilla back then. Without that, even if Jarilo had escaped the blizzard, later troubles would have crushed them.

The biggest one being the loan taken by Jarilo's builders from the IPC, most of which, along with mechanical devices, was buried underground. Although those were good pieces of equipment, Belobog had no way to activate them!

It was like guarding a pile of useless scrap metal, and they couldn't even recycle the materials. Who wouldn't be frustrated by that?

But now, Jarilo was connected to the interstellar network and had a solid backing, making ill-intentioned people dare not covet it.

The Xianzhou had risen due to the Aeon of Abundance, and later, the appearance of the Aeon of Hunt pushed the Xianzhou Alliance to its peak.

In just eight thousand years, they had traveled across the stars.

"Well then, you two work hard. I'll just stay home and tinker with little inventions. Don't come and bother me."

Serval looked at Bronya warily, afraid that this great guardian would suddenly conscript her.

Was it easy to finally stay at home tinkering with little inventions? No, it wasn't.

"That's fine, but can you at least promise me not to mess with dangerous stuff?" Bronya said helplessly.

She didn't want to barge into Serval's little house using random excuses, but who knew how many dangerous things she kept in there?

Relying on her good relationship with Godzilla, she really feared nothing.

Also, since her mother had been deceived by the Stellaron and dismissed her from her position, she couldn't access other important facilities, so when she was reinstated later, she acted with some retaliatory behavior.

The stuff in her house... really could blow up the whole block at any moment.

By the way, Jarilo now had more than just Belobog as its only city.

After this period of recuperation, Jarilo's population had seen new growth and various constructions, new cities sprang up one after another.

The capital was Belobog.

"Oh my, look who I've found? The two distinguished guests enjoying the scenery!"

As the two chatted, a familiar voice came, and when they looked, they saw Tingyun's thin lips slightly curved and eyes smiling as she looked at them.

"Miss Tingyun."

Seeing it was Tingyun, both of them smiled warmly.

Especially Serval, their relationship had greatly improved during their time in Jarilo, well, at least compared to when she was first kicked out by Cocolia.

"Tingyun, what have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you." Serval asked.

"Recently, with many worlds opening new trade routes, and as I hold positions in both the Chamber of Commerce and Luofu's transit office, I've been rather busy." At this, Tingyun sighed.

"So many tasks have left me exhausted; every day, the moment I open my eyes, I have to work hard. I'm so overworked that even my tail has gotten messy."

Saying this, Tingyun gently touched the tip of her tail with some distress.

"Anyway, you're here to watch the Luminary Wardance, right? I suppose only such a grand event could get you out of Jarilo, Bronya."

Tingyun laughed softly.

She thought she knew Bronya fairly well; if it wasn't for an important celebration like this, even Cocolia couldn't get her out to relax.

Of course, if Godzilla wanted her out, that would be a different story.

"Speaking of which, I've been so busy with work recently that I haven't visited that big fellow's place much. Would you two like to come with me to take a look?"

Hearing Tingyun's invitation, the two nodded.

"Just finished studying, so it's a good time for a stroll and to bond a bit."

...

Scalegorge Waterscape.

Today, there were a few more figures in the Scalegorge Waterscape.

A Master Diviner, and two judges from the Shackling Prison.

"This seat originally thought... cough cough, although I had heard about it for a long time and even read the documents submitted by the Ten-Lords Commission and the two of you, seeing it with my own eyes is still inevitably shocking. For a zombie body to have such a transformation no different from revival, it's truly unheard of."

Looking at Hanya's body, which was different from before, Fu Xuan sighed.

After all, one was a judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, the other a Master Diviner of the Divination Commission, and she had also met Hanya before. But at that time, Hanya had not even the slightest appearance of a person of the living world, carrying an aura of death.

Only when talking to the judge named Xueyi beside her would her tone and expression change.

Normally, even that guy Jing Yuan received the same treatment when standing before her.

No amount of difference in official rank could sway her, truly a typical Luofu mannerism!

Sigh, if only that rascal Qingque could be as diligent and responsible as Judge Hanya.

Fu Xuan sighed inwardly.

The Divination Commission had no shortage of capable people, yet there had been no one suitable to serve as her chief general until now, except for Qingque.

Unfortunately, that one had a lazy nature, finishing her daily work only to sneak out for long strolls.

Even after catching her red-handed multiple times, she remained stubborn and unrepentant.

After all... she did finish her work without any errors, so all Fu Xuan could do was assign her some overtime or similar tasks.

But in recent years, Fu Xuan had come up with a new method.

She simply combined three days' worth of work into two days. Even if Qingque could still finish it quickly, at least the overall workload had truly increased!

Simply perfect.

"Hanya, stay here and accompany the Master Diviner. I'll check if there are any new plants nearby. If there are, I'll get permission to pick some and update the Shackling Prison's defenses," Xueyi instructed.

If it were just the two of them, they could have gone together.

But with Fu Xuan present, it wouldn't be proper to leave her alone.

Moreover, Hanya's time spent fully reverting to her zombie body had been delayed recently, giving her a chance to talk properly with the Master Diviner and learn about current ways of interacting with people of the living world.

Though they had traveled in the living world in recent years, they were ultimately still separated from it. Now that her younger sister had the chance to become truly human again, of course she had to seize every opportunity.

"In that case, be careful; those guys don't recognize people," Fu Xuan said with concern.

"I know." Xueyi slightly nodded, walking toward the depths.

Although Xueyi hadn't said it explicitly, Fu Xuan, as the Master Diviner of the Divination Commission, wasn't one for nothing. With just a glance, she understood Xueyi's well-intentioned motives.

While sighing for the suffering of these sisters, she also pondered how to correct Hanya's worldview.

Spending hundreds of years in the eerie environment of the Shackling Prison would turn anyone into a ghost.

As she was thinking and about to speak, Hanya spoke first.

"Master Diviner, Hanya wishes to ask: does the Master Diviner know of any method to reshape the body and house the soul?"

Fu Xuan blinked, stunned as she looked at the serious-faced Hanya... who was looking up at her.

After reacting, Fu Xuan's expression turned serious and her tone stern.

"Do you even know what you're saying? How could there be such a method? For someone like Judge Xueyi to maintain her main soul and walk the world in a puppet body is already extremely rare, where would there be such a miraculous resurrection technique? Even if outsiders spread rumors, as a judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, shouldn't you know better?!"

Fu Xuan's tone grew harsher. It was obvious who Hanya was speaking for.

She couldn't allow Hanya, to cause trouble at such a critical moment, especially from her own mouth. If something really went wrong, how could she explain it to Xueyi?

The small Master Diviner stood in front of Hanya. Though she wasn't as tall, her overwhelming aura far surpassed that of the supposedly fierce Judge of the Ten-Lords Commission.

Hearing Fu Xuan's words, Hanya slightly lowered her head, speaking in an indifferent tone.

"I know this matter is extremely important to the Xianzhou, but every day as I watch my body grow more and more human-like, I can feel my heart beating."

"I can return to life, but what about my sister? In her current state, day after day, constantly exorcising demons and suffering injuries, every time she disregards her own safety. Often, she ends up damaging her puppet body and forcing her soul to return. Don't even mention what happens if this continues for long, it's already bad enough as it is! She doesn't even care about her own body anymore!"

"..." Fu Xuan fell silent for a while before sighing lightly.

"But this is ultimately wrong, not just because it touches on the Xianzhou's bottom line, but also... a simply cloned body fundamentally cannot house a soul."

Fu Xuan sighed again.

"The bodies of Xianzhou people are blessed by the Plague Author, granting ordinary Xianzhou hundreds of years of lifespan. If it weren't for being unable to withstand the burden of enormous memory, they would live endlessly!"

"How could ordinary cloning technology ever achieve such results? How could it possibly house a soul that has already died once and then worked for hundreds of years in the Shackling Prison? That would truly harm her instead."

Fu Xuan also wished for Xueyi to regain a human body, but it simply wasn't possible. This matter involved too many aspects, and most importantly, as she said, an ordinary body simply couldn't carry the soul of a Xianzhou person.

Not to mention, cases like Xueyi, who still has her soul intact and can move freely with the help of a mechanical puppet, are extremely rare.

There are barely any examples, where would the Xianzhou even find materials for research?

What if, in the end, it doesn't succeed, and instead causes unexpected disasters?

After hearing Fuxuan's words, Hanya fell silent.

She slowly sat down, hugging her knees, her eyes full of loss.

"Pa!"

Suddenly, a loud sound startled the two of them. Looking up, they saw Godzilla's long, thick tail casually swinging, with droplets of water sliding off it.

Clearly, that movement was Godzilla's tail acting on its own.

...

"Tsk, if those war-mongering folks saw this device of yours, they'd lose their minds."

The projection circled around Ruan Mei's device as Herta exclaimed in amazement.

Large medical equipment isn't unheard of, but those are generally used for treating giant beasts. As for humans? Well, that's what doctors or emergency treatment gear are for.

Though the more advanced a civilization is, the more advanced its medical methods become, as long as there are limits that can't be surpassed, individual medical treatment will always be a problem.

A very realistic problem, would a high-ranking official and an ordinary person receive the same level of medical care?

Even with her puppet's knees, she could tell that was impossible.

Many civilizations' rulers can use various means to achieve longevity... Immortality isn't very realistic, but with such means, who would still beg alchemists for medicine?

Besides, these methods of longevity also carry certain risks, or the lifespan they extend is limited.

Not everyone is like her, Lady Herta, the 83rd seat of the Genius Society, and can reverse their age.

Now, back to the device Ruan Mei developed this time.

She named it Ecological Domain Remodeling Device No. 1. Simple and straightforward.

Perhaps she didn't dare claim too much, but the vision behind it was indispensable.

With a radiation range of thirty-six units, it could cover a planet the size of Jarilo. Its healing capability was such that, as long as one wasn't instantly killed, it could keep them alive, and after recovery, their injuries could visibly heal at a noticeable speed.

Of course, that depended on how much energy it had.

But even so, its function was terrifying.

Just think about it, on the battlefield, two armies clashing; after setting it up, one side's soldiers could engage in melee.

The enemy's cut means instant death, but on one's own side, as long as they weren't instantly killed, they could recover in a short time.

The psychological trauma of the enemy would surely grow visibly in their minds.
