Looking at Levi, Yukong slowly spoke of another purpose for coming to see him.
It was about Phantylia's whereabouts.
As one of the only two people on the Luofu who knew the other party's identity, and at the same time as the helmsman of the Sky-Faring Commission, one of the Luofu's Six Commissions.
She had the duty to confirm whether Phantylia was still on the Luofu or not.
"She's of course still on the Luofu."
Levi answered Yukong's question. Tingyun's expression froze for a moment, while Yukong revealed a look that said just as expected.
How could a Lord Ravager be driven away so easily.
Every world they set their sights on eventually ended up destroyed in their hands.
Levi thought for a moment, then spoke again, "But she's also not on the Luofu."
Yukong, who had been about to stand up, sat back down again, her eyes fixed tightly on Levi. "This matter concerns the lives of all beings on the Luofu. I hope you can provide accurate information."
Levi tapped the tabletop rhythmically with his five fingers, his gaze lowered in thought.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The tapping sound stopped. Levi raised his eyes. "Since you want to know Phantylia's location, then I'll just send you over there!"
His palm clenched downward in the air. A faint flash of light passed, and a greatsword was planted into the ground by him.
With his free hand, he lightly tapped the blade. The sturdy sword body rippled like water.
Blue light lit up, covering everyone present.
"Enter!"
As his voice fell, several figures instantly disappeared from the room. The greatsword returned to normal and quietly remained embedded in the floor.
Qingque looked at the empty room and scratched her head.
"How did I get left behind?!"
She still wanted to observe the Lord Ravager up close.
———
Feeling that more than half of the Honkai energy in his body had been emptied, Levi did not panic. This level of consumption was within his expectations.
"No wonder Silver Wolf kept saying it couldn't be done. With this kind of energy consumption, as long as you're still human, it's impossible!"
Aether Editing technology was about manipulating the free-floating aether in the universe and constructing it into whatever one needed.
Levi wasn't very familiar with the name aether, but if it was called by its other name...
Memory substance.
Then Levi was very familiar with it.
Wasn't that alluring dream of Penacony built using this very thing?
At the same time, the Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection also seemed to move through the universe by driving memory substance.
With the amount of Honkai energy he had just lost in an instant, if it were an ordinary Herrscher instead...
Someone like Wendy.
They would probably be drained straight into becoming a dried-out Herrscher.
Looking at the flame floating in the darkness in the distance, Levi stretched out his hand. A crisp finger snap echoed through this space.
Tingyun and Yukong were drawn by the sound and withdrew their surveying gazes to look at him.
They immediately noticed the green flame not far away.
"Are you still used to living here?"
With a fake smile on his face, Levi looked at the other party and slowly spoke her identity.
"Phantylia."
"Let me out! I can leave the Luofu immediately and guarantee I won't target any Xianzhou ships again!"
Seeing Levi appear in this space, Phantylia flew straight toward him.
She finally stopped at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Levi.
Listening to Phantylia's agitated voice, Levi smiled faintly. "Want to get out?"
A trace of hope ignited in Phantylia's heart. But after Levi finished speaking, her heart fell straight back into despair.
"Maybe in your next life!"
"You...!"
The moment Phantylia spoke, Levi's flames ignited around her again, trapping her once more.
Watching Phantylia struggle continuously, Levi curled his lips and smiled. "Let me see the backbone you have as a Lord Ravager. Break out from there!"
"If you can break out, I can also consider letting you go."
Though that would just mean putting her into the seal inside the mausoleum.
"Don't make me look down on you, and don't make me look down on the word Destruction either."
Only at this moment did Tingyun and Yukong behind him realize that the green flame was the Lord Ravager Phantylia.
However...
The two glanced at Phantylia wrapped in crimson flames.
In front of Levi, this Lord Ravager looked no different from those weak ghosts.
Looking at the flames surrounding her, Phantylia knew what would happen if she really listened to him and tried to force her way out.
She only had an extremely small chance of escaping unscathed. Most likely she would turn into a firework, then with a bang, be blown into pieces.
If that happened, it would be no different from dying.
And even if she managed to escape by some miracle, this despicable and shameless Levi might not even keep his promise and let her go.
Seeing that Phantylia made no move at all, Levi felt greatly disappointed.
"Boring."
He turned back to Yukong and pointed at that lump of green flame.
"There, that's the Phantylia you were looking for. If you have anything you want to say to her, it's best to say it now."
Levi looked around at the surroundings. "I probably won't be coming back to this space again."
After hearing Levi's words, Phantylia looked toward the two Foxians behind him.
They came looking for her?
As the two approached, Phantylia could clearly see their appearances and felt slightly surprised.
At the same time, she also understood something.
No wonder they knew she had disguised herself as Tingyun. So the two had already met before.
But what she didn't expect was…
"You actually didn't die?"
Phantylia's surprised voice reached Tingyun's ears. Tingyun gave a faint smile. "Sorry for failing to meet your expectations, but how could I die before you were brought to justice?"
"Don't you think so!"
Facing Phantylia, who had attacked her and even stolen her identity, even the polite Tingyun couldn't help but throw in a few sarcastic remarks.
"Heh heh…" Phantylia's mocking laughter came. "A petty nobody. You only dare to come say a few words in front of me because I'm trapped here right now."
If it were normal times, would she even dare come if you gave her ten times the courage.
"She's getting anxious!"
Tingyun pointed at Phantylia and laughed toward Yukong beside her.
Seeing her like this, Yukong said nothing. Her gaze moved back and forth between Phantylia, Levi, and her.
She couldn't help but suspect whether this Tingyun in front of her was someone else in disguise again.
In her memory, Tingyun wasn't like this.
Noticing Yukong's increasingly strange gaze, Tingyun seemed to realize something and awkwardly smiled as she lowered her hand.
"I just learned that from someone else. I hope Lord Yukong won't laugh at me."
"You peeked at my jade abacus?"
Levi suddenly asked. Tingyun pressed her lips together, her eyes drifting uncertainly.
"No."
Levi nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked again, "You didn't peek at my photo album, right?"
"…No."
Levi nodded again and asked once more, "You didn't peek at my folders either, right?"
Tingyun's eyes drifted even more. Her lips pressed into a thin line, as if she was holding back laughter.
"No."
After answering, as if afraid Levi would keep asking, Tingyun smiled and said, "This little woman knows proper etiquette and naturally would not do such improper things. Please rest assured, benefactor."
'I was looking at the terminal.'
'The jade abacus has a password, I couldn't open it…'
Levi nodded, turned back toward Phantylia, and smiled.
With a wave of his hand he slapped her flying away and shouted at her, "Have fun playing in here!"
"I #￥%#**%#%￥@&!"
Amid Phantylia's cursing, Levi left this place with Tingyun and Yukong.

[Alchemy Commission]
Herta looked at the purple-and-white monster fighting the soldiers in front of her. "Those are the monsters you were talking about?"
"Of course. Does Miss Herta recognize these creatures?"
Herta's question made Jing Yuan think she might know what these things were.
"Don't recognize them."
Unfortunately, even someone as knowledgeable as Herta had never seen these things before.
Herta stuck out her small tongue and licked the corner of her lips.
The realism of the puppet was fully displayed at this moment. She could do anything a normal person could do.
