Under the witness of countless people, the space base began preparing for takeoff.
At this time, all kinds of materials and supplies had already been loaded into the base.
The scene was also being broadcast live on the screen.
The emotions of the people of Liyue gradually became agitated.
After all, this was heading into space.
It was simply a feat that had never been done before.
Those boarding the base included some ordinary people.
Precisely because of this, many people were paying close attention.
After confirming that there were no problems,
the crowd on site began to evacuate.
Then everything was ready for launch.
Takumi and the others watched from a safe area.
As the hatch closed,
and following Wei Wei's command, the enormous base slowly floated upward.
The entire base was equipped with an anti-gravity system,
so lifting off was effortless.
After rising to a certain height, the base accelerated directly,
flying toward the sea,
and then continued ascending.
Wei Wei kept monitoring the base's condition.
At the same time, everything was also being captured by satellites in space.
Watching the steadily rising base,
everyone felt excited.
Pride.
This was truly amazing.
Liyue now possessed something that other nations did not.
Thinking about everything Liyue had achieved recently,
countless Liyue citizens were filled with pride.
This was truly incredible.
Takumi looked at the sky base continuously ascending.
He was also very satisfied.
Very good.
The next step was to begin research in space.
They would strive to develop even more technologies.
Such a massive laboratory built in the sky—
Takumi believed many interesting things would be discovered.
Moreover, Takumi had also asked Wei Wei to take the Key of the Fourth God.
After all, that item functioned as a satellite.
It was perfect to launch it together this time.
As the massive space base lifted off,
the people present burst into applause.
Although it had not yet entered deep space,
and had only reached the predetermined orbit,
everyone knew the launch was a success.
Takumi looked at the base still rising and said:
"I'll leave things to you from now on."
"Vil-V, you should discuss the previous matter with everyone."
"If you're certain, come find me again."
With matters here concluded,
he no longer needed to stay.
He had other things to take care of.
Hearing this, Wei Wei nodded.
"Alright."
She didn't even turn around to look at Takumi,
instead keeping her eyes fixed on the data screens.
Ningguang and keqing at the side were puzzled.
What exactly had they been discussing?
The two of them grew suspicious.
But seeing Takumi preparing to leave, they hurried to follow.
If there were questions, they could ask later.
Besides them, Kiana and Bronya also followed.
Of course, they had also come to watch today's event.
When Dr. Mei learned that Bronya was here,
she even gave her many items.
Seeing those things, Bronya was stunned,
but quickly became excited.
With these items from Dr. Mei,
her strength would grow even further.
These were technologies from the previous era.
Bronya was ambitious as well.
The group followed Takumi back to the manor.
Then Ningguang asked curiously:
"What did you just say to Miss Vil-V?"
"It felt like you were discussing something important."
"Is it convenient to talk about?"
She was curious,
but if Takumi didn't want to say, she wouldn't press further.
keqing also looked over.
Hearing this, Takumi smiled.
"It's nothing confidential."
"It's about turning all thirteen Flame-Chasers into Herrschers."
As soon as he said that, Mei, Bronya, and Kiana all reacted strongly.
Good grief—turning people into Herrschers?
"Are you serious?"
Bronya looked at Takumi in disbelief.
If they truly became Herrschers,
just imagining it was terrifying.
The thirteen Flame-Chasers were already frighteningly powerful.
If they gained Herrscher authority as well—
that would be terrifying.
Bronya was shocked.
But how exactly would Takumi turn them into Herrschers?
Would Vil-V and Dr. Mei both become Herrschers of Reason?
Would Kalpas become the Herrscher of Flame?
If Vil-V and Dr. Mei both became Herrschers of Reason,
that would be unimaginable.
Bronya had no doubt that if Takumi could create one Herrscher,
he could certainly create a second.
Hearing Bronya's words, Takumi nodded.
"There is indeed such an idea."
"Vil-V asked me for a bunch of Divine Key blueprints and wanted me to make them."
"If that's the case, it's better to turn them into Herrschers directly."
"She thought it was a great idea, so she suggested discussing it."
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
It felt almost like a game.
Was it really okay to make such a casual decision about becoming Herrschers?
"You can even turn people into Herrschers."
"So what about me?"
"Could I also become one?"
After Ningguang understood Takumi's meaning,
her interest was immediately piqued.
This sounded quite appealing.
Herrschers possessed all kinds of powers.
They could do many things.
She knew this well.
Maybe she could try it herself?
It would just make her stronger.
Hearing this, Takumi was stunned.
Good grief, was she planning to turn Ningguang into a Herrscher?
That didn't seem impossible.
After thinking for a moment, Takumi said:
"That's fine too."
"You'd be suitable as the Herrscher of Geo."
"Then keqing would become the Herrscher of Thunder."
"Shen He could become the Herrscher of Ice, and Noelle could also become the Herrscher of Geo."
"It actually sounds pretty good."
Listening to Takumi seriously discuss turning everyone into Herrschers,
Bronya, Mei, and the others were on the verge of disbelief.
"Are you joking?"
"Since when can Herrschers be mass-produced?"
Kiana stared at Takumi in a daze.
Good grief, truly good grief.
She was knowledgeable too.
Mass-producing Herrschers?
That was insane.
How dare he even think of that.
Takumi shrugged.
"Mass-producing Herrschers is trivial."
"I can even form a Herrscher core by hand."
"You didn't know that?"
"The Herrscher of Reason's authority can do that."
"Oh right, Bronya is still a bit inexperienced, she can't do it yet."
Bronya's expression immediately darkened.
Why drag her into this?
She was just a newly awakened Herrscher, okay?
Bronya felt very wronged.
When Kiana heard this, she couldn't help looking at Bronya.
Is that so?
That duck really is a bit lacking.
Noticing Kiana's gaze, Bronya felt even more depressed.
What was this?
Why was she getting dragged in for no reason?
