Liu Bai slammed his fist on the black-stockinged buttocks in front of him, as if striking a gavel.
"Yes!"
-
"Dr. Einstein! The 'tides' of the quantum sea have receded!"
Is it a temporary decline, or has it entered a decline cycle?
Estelle's voice made Einstein, who was standing nearby, run over immediately.
"Based on the comparison... it should have entered the regression phase. The current problem is that we don't yet know how long this regression phase will last, and the current situation is also different from previous phases..."
"...Who will go and inform Liu Bai?"
After closing his eyes and weighing the options, Einstein still couldn't make a decision immediately.
"I'm here."
Liu Bai happened to walk into the laboratory at that moment.
“I heard everything just now… Since it’s the decline phase, let’s go for it.”
"It might just be a period of decline."
Einstein reminded me.
"Waiting indefinitely will not yield any results. Now that we have an opportunity... even if it's a trap, we should take it. There are still people waiting for us over there."
Liu Bai did not forget that besides dealing with the Star-Devouring Whale, he also had to ensure the survival of Ergolia and Joyce.
Upon hearing this, Einstein nodded silently.
In terms of decision-making... apart from Edison and Rihanna, they all lacked decisiveness.
"Okay, Tesla! Activate the infiltration device immediately!"
"You don't need to tell me! Chicken hair!"
The Tesla next to them was clearly already prepared.
"Liu Bai! Do you still remember the strategy?"
"Ah."
Liu Bai nodded.
The strategy is simple: send someone with the ability to traverse the Sea of Quanta with the Dust Song Pot.
This candidate...
"Huanlong, I'm begging you."
"Stop saying things that sound like you know each other so well."
Huanlong emerged from Liu Bai's body with a look of disgust.
“But since I am now your assistant, this little thing is no problem at all—I just happen to want to see just how deep this sea is.”
"Oh... Dr. Tesla is the type who says one thing and means another."
"...Shorty, do you even have the right to speak here?"
Huanlong looked down at Einstein and snorted softly.
"Exactly! Who's being two-faced!"
Tesla also turned around and refuted the claim.
"Estella, could you help me gather everyone together?"
"Understood, I'll go right away."
Estelle nodded slightly and then began to operate the computer.
Taking advantage of this time, Liu Bai went to the infiltration device that Tesla was debugging.
It's a very futuristic circular platform.
"Actually, you can also enter the Quantum Sea from Haiyuan City."
Tesla saw Liu Bai and assumed that Liu Bai was interested in this thing, so he simply explained, "But aren't we supposed to form an alliance with this side? So we can only infiltrate using a teleportation device."
"This teleportation device is quite different from the ones I've used before..."
Rita appeared beside Liu Bai, looking at the large installation in front of her with some curiosity.
"Who knows what strange ancient relics your Destiny has? Anyway, this device is the most reliable instrument we have right now... Liu Bai?"
"This one……"
Liu Bai touched the equipment and gave a strange look.
[Quantum Sea Diving Device]
[After use, it will teleport one character to a special map - the Sea of Quanta. The values in this map are high, so please be careful.]
[Please note that once any member of the player's party enters the Sea of Quanta, the story 'Star Core Catastrophe' will be triggered immediately.]
Special map.
And start high-difficulty storylines early.
Fortunately, at this point in time, there's no need to make things too difficult in this regard.
After all, there isn't much time left before the Star Core Catastrophe officially begins.
Starting now allows for a time margin of error similar to the time allowed for the event to occur.
As for special maps... Liu Bai almost forgot about them if they weren't mentioned. The Quantum Sea and the Imaginary Tree were both special maps designed in advance.
However, there's no need to worry too much about this—after all, it's the main issue that we have to face no matter what.
"Rita."
"I'm here."
Rita gave a slight bow.
"Help me send a warning notice to all current factions."
Although Liu Bai has broken the deadlock in terms of his own combat strength, the world is still unprepared.
Unfortunately, even with gentle methods, ruling the world in six months is still too difficult for Liu Bai.
"Warning... I understand, but under what name? Liyue? Far East Branch? Or Anti-Entropy?"
"Use Liyue's name for the neutral side, the Far East Branch's name for Schicksal, and my personal name for Inazuma and Liyue."
Liu Bai is characterized by his flexibility and versatility.
—Although it's time to think of a name for our own faction.
"We can borrow Funina's name from Fontaine."
"Understood, I will go and inform Ms. Emerald right away."
Rita is now only in charge of internal affairs, while administrative matters have been handed over to Estella, who in turn handed them over to Emerald.

"...?"
"Clorind, it's your turn to play."
Qingque looked at Claudia with curiosity.
"Or have you forgotten the rules? Do you want me to explain them again?"
"I'm afraid that's not the case."
Kafka also took out her phone.
"Qingque, next time you skip work, don't silence your phone."
"What do you mean by skipping work! I've finished all my work! I'm just refusing to work overtime!"
Qingque was very dissatisfied, but when she saw Kafka's serious expression, she was immediately taken aback.
"Wait a minute... is it an emergency overtime shift?"
"Perhaps it can be described as a celestial vessel encountering a bountiful cluster?"
"...Isn't that a huge deal?"
Qingque quickly took out her phone.
Claude stood up at this moment: "Excuse me, it seems I'll have to excuse myself for a moment."
"It's okay, maybe we'll even fight side by side this time."
Kafka smiled.
Claurind nodded seriously to Kafka and left the card table.
"...We're about to venture into the Sea of Quanta."
Qingque read very quickly and finished reading the newly issued notice in no time.
"Looks like we need to go to the assembly point too..."
Sakura bit her lip.
She wasn't afraid of the upcoming battle.
However... the timing isn't ideal.
She was just about to bring her younger sister over...
"...I'm going to pay my respects to the General now. Please come as soon as possible, both of you."
Sakura got up and left her seat.
……
"Lady Furina, have you received the message from Lady Está?"
Clarin walked quickly back to their dwelling.
"I saw it."
At this moment, Funina's expression was surprisingly calm.
"Lady Agoria is also in the Sea of Quanta, we can't just not participate, can we? Not to mention that we'll have a powerful figure to carry us this time."
Funina's mindset was as peaceful as it could possibly be.
Although this matter seems troublesome, it doesn't require her to be on the front lines.
Liu Bai was the most powerful and influential person she had ever met in her life.
When these high-level players lead raids, what they need is simply to express their willingness to join and then shout "666" to provide emotional support to the high-level players, right?
As for what to do if the thigh (referring to a specific part of the body) crashes...
Don't be ridiculous. Even such powerful figures have crashed and burned. Even if they didn't come, it would just mean they'd live a few more days.
Moreover... although it wasn't very convincing, Funina considered herself a reasonably intelligent cobbler.
I can help Liu Bai when he needs it.
"Indeed, Clorind, you don't want to go back, do you?"
Navia teased her friend and successfully earned a glare in return.
"I think what Clorinde is worried about is the impact this will have on Fontaine, right?"
Funina sighed.
"As for Fontaine, with Villette there, and Lady Emerald already issuing a warning... and if Fontaine really suffers a disaster, Schicksal won't stand idly by."
Another advantage of being close by is that...
There's no difference between Fontainebleau suffering a disaster and Destiny suffering a disaster... Of course, the reverse is also true.
