"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Just as the two were conversing, a waiter suddenly walked over carrying a fully loaded tray.
"Here is the 'Seawater Lava' for the two of you."
He took the exquisite cakes served on optical discs from the tray and placed them in front of the two respectively.
"Please enjoy."
The waiter bowed slightly to them, then walked towards the next table of customers ordering.
"I heard it is very popular now to take photos of pastries and post them on communication tools."
Ruan Mei lowered her head, looking at the cake that had just been served.
"If the popularity is decent, it seems one can use this to go to stores at various planetary ports and exchange it for more pastry tasting opportunities."
The plating was quite exquisite: one half a magnificent ocean, the other half a majestic volcano.
Both sides were made to be lifelike.
The sea had the visual effect of flowing water, and the top of the volcanic crater also faintly glowed.
It looked like it might erupt at any moment.
With such superb craftsmanship, the price was likely frighteningly high as well.
Leon just wanted to chat more about the 'World-Beguiler', but Ruan Mei suddenly changed the subject.
He didn't mind, so he followed her lead and continued the conversation:
"The store exploration bloggers in the system are still chasing me."
If past works had popularity and could be photographed in exchange for tastings, isn't this just the store exploration promotion routine?
If you were a big blogger, merchants would be begging you to come and shoot. After all, the profit from traffic monetization is far higher than selling a few single pastries.
"I am not very good at this. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ruan Mei took out her Jade Abacus, seemingly wanting to get involved as well.
"Show some leg and take a picture together?"
As he spoke, Leon's gaze moved downward. The pair of thighs under the qipao were blindingly white.
Compared to Lady Pointy Hat, he felt that Lady White Thighs was the authority.
Although he also wanted to say she could add her own name—the title of a Genius guarantees popularity.
But thinking about Ruan Mei as a hermit player, the number of people who know her is probably not even as high as Herta's anti-fans.
She's a bit too niche, making it hard to say.
Ruan Mei followed his line of sight downward, noticing his gaze. Not only did she have no intention of covering up, but she also generously let him look.
"I do not like to show my face in public."
But this benefit was limited to him personally; verbally, she still politely declined.
"Then you can post it in Herta's name. The heat will come too fast."
Leon retracted his gaze and offered her a shortcut.
"If something happens, just don't sell out your master."
Let's be clear first: if the anti-fans attack, he'll be the first to run.
"Let's forget it then."
Ruan Mei put away the Jade Abacus, and the matter was left unsettled.
"So, are you trying to say that the 'World-Beguiler King' is on this planet?"
Seeing her stop, Leon continued chatting with her about the topic from earlier.
If it were here, it would be equivalent to having nowhere to hide. He could easily box it out as soon as he exerted some force.
Regardless of whether he wanted to or not.
"I don't know."
Ruan Mei picked up a fork, cut a piece of 'Seawater Lava', and replied.
"?"
What do you mean you don't know?
"As long as I hold the corpse of the 'Phantasmal Moth', a 'Swarm King' will eventually come looking for it on its own."
Ruan Mei told the truth; she was just trying her luck.
"I also do not know exactly where the 'World-Beguiler' is. I just thought that since the Swarm is a collective, coming to a planet near the 'Phantasmal Moth' should allow me to try my luck."
After speaking, Ruan Mei added something more.
"It's not that I cannot locate its position."
"But that requires a lot of time and precise equipment, which are the things we lack most right now."
Ruan Mei spoke quite honestly.
Six-six-six. So you really just came to eat cake.
Too lazy to comment, Leon decided to investigate himself.
No sooner said than done. He focused his mind and expanded his perception directly across the entire planet.
"There really is one."
In a moment, Leon already had the answer to whether the 'World-Beguiler King' was here or not.
"There are also more than eight hundred colleagues. Just average, really."
One 'Emanator' and over eight hundred wild dogs.
This indeed required no rush, because it was something he could resolve in an instant.
"Then it seems our luck is good."
Ruan Mei indicated that this was fine.
"Do you like eating pastries and the like very much?"
After confirming the existence of the 'World-Beguiler King', he asked Ruan Mei.
After all, according to her, she came specifically for this cake.
To be honest, Leon actually found it quite hard to imagine.
That someone like her would actually go out of her way to pursue something, even doing research for it.
"En."
Ruan Mei did not deny it. "Aside from pastries, I also like listening to traditional opera on weekdays."
"Listening to opera?"
How should he put it? It was overly human, which conversely didn't fit the stereotype.
"Are you very interested in me?" she asked suddenly.
"It's alright. Just asking casually."
To say he was interested in her... not really.
Just asking casually, merely chatting.
"Is there any 'reward' you want? Anything related to me?"
Seeing him inquiring about her, Ruan Mei stopped her movement of dividing the cake.
"'Reward'?"
What did that mean? Why did the topic shift so abnormally?
"I can obtain what I want in this experiment; this is my 'reward'. What about you? What 'reward' do you want?"
Ruan Mei looked at him and asked quite seriously.
"Uh, my 'Oshi'—the new 'Emperor'—can finally be crowned in the true sense?"
He pointed to Firefly, congratulating Ying-Ying on finally being able to claim the title of Emperor.
"That does not count as a 'reward'."
Ruan Mei shook her head. "That is only natural."
"You are very obsessed with giving me a 'reward'. Why?"
A 'reward', isn't that just remuneration?
Okay, Ruan Mei actually didn't think of getting something for nothing. Leon approved of her.
Hearing this question, a trace of confusion flashed in Ruan Mei's eyes. It seemed that for her, doing things and receiving a 'reward' was the underlying logic of operation.
Leon didn't expect a single question could cause someone to crash.
What, are you also an airhead?
Driven by his intuition, he could see what state Ruan Mei was in.
To her, a 'reward' wasn't as simple as payment. The word 'reward' seemed more like something that constituted her worldview.
This was a piece of hardware running her worldview.
"Did your parents tell you from a young age that 'if you do well, there will be a reward'?"
Leon thought of something and asked Ruan Mei.
There is a good saying: children always grow up watching their parents' backs.
If there was anything that could carve the 'reward' mechanism into Ruan Mei's worldview, he felt it could only be caused by her parents' influence since childhood.
"En."
The confusion in Ruan Mei's eyes dissipated. She hummed in agreement, answering every question he asked.
"In the past, my mother would always let me conduct scientific expeditions alone. When she gave out the subject, it was often accompanied by a sentence: 'There will be a reward when the expedition is over.'"
As she spoke, Ruan Mei lowered her head to look at the cake, as if her thoughts had been hooked back to the past.
In the past, whenever an expedition ended, the reward her mother gave her was hand-baked pastries.
She is quite "sick." This was the evaluation Leon gave Ruan Mei.
This sickness didn't refer to some intractable disease.
As a Genius, he didn't think there was any disease in the world that could trap Ruan Mei.
This sickness meant that there was a problem with Ruan Mei as a person.
"Speaking of which, I see your contact name is Ruan · Mei."
Leon asked again, seemingly to verify some things.
"Why do you use a dot to separate your name?"
"My current name is taken from my parents."
Ruan Mei did not hide it and told the truth.
"I wished for them to be equal, so I took one surname from each to use as my own name."
"Current?"
In other words, her name wasn't Ruan Mei before.
To be honest, although Ruan · Mei sounds quite nice, if the origin is truly as she said...
Leon didn't think any parents would come up with taking one character from each of their surnames as a name.
Taking a step back,
Even if they really did, they wouldn't specifically add a dot to separate them.
This dot was obviously added by Ruan Mei herself.
The reason was also stated: she hoped her parents would be equal in her life.
He felt that under this reason, it wouldn't be impossible for her parents to have really named her Ruan · Mei.
"Do you have any musical instruments you are good at?"
Leon pondered slightly and asked.
She wasn't called Ruan Mei before, so what exactly happened to prompt her to change her name?
Changing her original name to her parents' surnames.
From this point alone, one could see,
The upheaval that occurred must be strongly related to Ruan Mei's parents.
"The Ruan."
Whatever he asked, Ruan Mei answered.
Leon nodded. "Do you have a favorite flower?"
"The Plum Blossom (Mei)."
Ruan and Mei. The things she loved happened to be her parents.
This was also why Leon asked deliberately.
Because when mentioning 'Ruan', the first thing he thought of was the instrument named Ruan.
The Plum Blossom followed the same logic; it was asking a question while knowing the answer.
"Why do you love listening to opera?"
Leon thought of what she said earlier: besides pastries, she also loved listening to traditional opera.
"Listening to opera always fascinates me. When the strings are plucked, time flows toward the past. When an experiment falls into a predicament and halts, it is a very good means of relaxation for me."
Ruan Mei glanced at him and gave the answer.
Does time flow toward the past?
Leon extracted the key point, deep in thought.
"What is your favorite opera?"
This was Leon's last question. He would soon have a judgment on Ruan Mei's condition.
Ruan Mei fell silent for a while:
"...When I was little, I stayed by my grandmother's side, listening to that babbling singing from the radio with her."
Alright, now Leon understood. The judgment he made based on intuition earlier was correct.
Ruan Mei was indeed quite "sick."
To put it simply, her time was frozen. She is a person living in the past.
But not the kind of stagnation where one stops moving forward; rather, her entire being is wrapped in the past.
She cannot forget the past, but she cannot return to the past.
So, traces of the past are everywhere on her.
When a person can no longer possess something, the only thing they can do is to not let themselves forget.
Ruan Mei fits this saying perfectly.
She thoroughly integrated everything related to her family into her own life.
Ruan, Plum Blossoms, pastries, opera, and the reward mechanism.
Even her name reflects this without exception.
With such behavior, could you say she isn't homesick, doesn't miss those times of the past?
Impossible. Ruan Mei definitely misses the past.
Leon felt this needed no questioning; it was something displayed right on the surface.
But the problem is, Ruan Mei seems unaware of it?
Regarding homesickness, she doesn't seem to have much of a reaction.
Is it because the hometown can never be returned to due to the upheaval, so she subconsciously avoids it?
Unwilling to face it? Or is there some other reason?
"I have a question. What exactly does the 'Essence of Life' you speak of refer to?"
Leon thought of her project and asked with confusion.
"You feel that an 'Aeon' is the answer to your project, but is it because He is an 'Aeon' that you feel that way simply because you are asking the question based on the answer?"
Leon looked at her and asked, "Or do you truly feel that way from the bottom of your heart?"
Ruan Mei fell silent once again.
After a while, she formulated her words and spoke:
"Life is colorful and varied; I firmly believe this."
"Its brilliance is like disordered flowers bewildering the eye, and I want to pluck the one branch from it that never withers."
"The laws of things are always complex and moving on the outside, but simple and plain on the inside. All things return to a cause; a single line of formula can always solve the confusion of all living beings."
"Since I was sensible, I have enjoyed observing the life traces of microscopic organisms, such as the rate at which slime molds devour objects; I also take the macroscopic world into my view."
"Studying the development process of the universe up to now—it is all very simple to me."
"But there is one problem I have never been able to understand, and that is the essence of life."
"'The Essence of Life'."
"In my view, it is something every living being possesses but is unaware of. Whether it is the materiality of existence, or the unknowable beyond matter."
"To avoid blind obedience to science, I cautiously raise a doubt—can I, like a coordinate axis, strip away external disturbances and ascertain the most original, and also the most beautiful form of existence of life?"
"I cannot fathom 'Aeons', nor do I understand why 'Emanators' are close to 'Aeons', so I felt that studying both could yield the answer I want."
Ruan Mei also wasn't clear where the result of this path led, but she felt this path was correct.
"I cannot say for sure what the final result will be."
Listening to her words, Leon thought of what 'Herta' had once said.
The darlings of 'The Erudition', the geniuses in people's mouths.
From the moment they were born, the emotion of 'Curiosity' took root in their hearts.
No matter which genius, no matter which project.
They might have other purposes later, but the projects they delve into definitely stem from curiosity at the very beginning.
Precisely because Ruan Mei doesn't understand 'Aeons', she is curious about 'Aeons'.
Rather than saying Ruan Mei has huge ambition.
It is better to say she is just walking very purely on her own path of seeking knowledge.
It's just that she walked to the extreme, making it appear to others as huge ambition.
"You said it is something every living being possesses but is unaware of?"
Receiving her answer, Leon knew why she was homesick without knowing it.
"En." Ruan Mei agreed.
"Including yourself?"
Ruan Mei heard this and paused. "Yes."
"Oh?"
Leon asked using her own words, "Then what is the thing you possess but are unaware of?"
"You are not an 'Emanator', so it is understandable that you do not understand what kind of existence an 'Emanator' is."
"But as the proposer of this hypothesis."
"If you don't even know what your own 'Essence of Life' is, why do you feel you can thoroughly research 'Aeons'?"
His words were very sharp.
Sharp enough to make Ruan Mei glance at him again.
Even with Herta's personality, she wouldn't dare to interrogate her so bluntly.
So straightforward. No wonder he and Herta could see eye to eye.
"Acha (Genius #23)."
"Like me, she also once delved into the project of 'The Essence of Life'."
After a long time, Ruan Mei spoke.
"Did she find it?"
"She found it."
To Leon's question, Ruan Mei nodded slightly.
"Before becoming a ghost of the Quantum Realm."
"She used her final time to go to Planet Screwllum, spent the rest of her life there, and obtained the answer she wanted from inorganic lifeforms."
Given that Ruan Mei was still delving into this project, Acha's answer likely failed to satisfy her.
Listening to her recount, Leon thought this.
"She felt that 'The Essence of Life' is emotion."
"Emotion is an abstract behavioral pattern, a common internal language."
"Precisely because life understands this language when created, by relying on this language, life can understand each other, to the extent of producing the existence of love."
Ruan Mei's tone was flat as she spoke the solution given by another genius.
"Emotion is the common language of life. This is the conclusion Acha spent a lifetime reaching."
After speaking, Ruan Mei sighed imperceptibly, her words carrying some distress.
"I find it hard to agree with, and hard to understand."
"Then, what is the thing you possess but are unaware of?" Leon didn't understand why she was dragging out this huge pile of metaphors.
If she didn't speak directly, how would he know what she wanted to do?
These intellectuals are troublesome; not straightforward at all.
"...It is 'Love', or perhaps emotion."
Ruan Mei complied, throwing the answer in his face.
"I do not understand 'Love', and even feel I do not have emotions."
What does that mean? Why is it love again? Do you also want an unprecedented romance story?
Does my Demiurge know you are plagiarizing her?
"The manifestation of feelings may be positive or negative, but within them, the love rooted in the bottom of the heart is an eternal and unchanging thing."
"Even inorganic lifeforms have their own 'Love', so what about me?"
"Possessing it, yet unaware. It indeed fits the theme."
Mn, actually Ruan Mei's analysis makes sense.
Inorganic lifeforms have love, so what more for a living person like her?
So, does Ruan Mei have love? Does she understand love?
"Do you often drink afternoon tea with Herta?"
Leon felt she had it, and she understood it; that was certain.
"Quite often."
Ruan Mei didn't understand why he asked this, but she answered obediently.
"Would you personally make pastries to share with her at the tea party?" Leon asked again.
"Occasionally."
Look, isn't this love?
In Ruan Mei's world, the pastries she has liked from childhood until now.
Isn't that the love she perceives?
Does she understand love? How could she not?
When relatives visited with snacks, her younger self would always feel that the love of elders was better than the love of parents.
The love Ruan Mei felt since childhood was always inseparable from pastries.
Willing to make them personally and share them—to her, isn't this love radiating subconsciously?
It's just that she cannot distinguish whether this love is friendship, romance, or familial love.
And from the title of hermit, Leon deduced that apart from that time with her family in her childhood, after the sudden upheaval in her hometown...
Ruan Mei never received any other love.
She threw herself wholeheartedly into science.
Living a solitary life, with no opportunity to contact the outside world or others. If not for Herta's Simulated Universe project pointing at 'Aeons'...
As someone who ignored and threw away the Genius Society invitation letter several times, Ruan Mei probably wouldn't have paid attention either.
Her time stopped in the past, no social life, plus an indifferent nature, and the high difficulty of the goal she pursued. She also often played the role of a creator.
Letting rationality dominate had become a habit.
Under the influence of these five factors,
She felt she didn't understand love, that she had no emotions.
But she actually has them. Otherwise, aside from the Simulated Universe, she wouldn't have any social interaction with Herta.
Let alone drinking afternoon tea together and bantering with each other.
You don't say, Ruan Mei and Herta are quite complementary.
Ruan Mei has more divinity but hasn't lost all humanity.
While Herta has more humanity, but that small portion of divinity,
Always makes people help but shout 'Great', needless to say.
"You asked me what reward I want. How about this."
Leon thought about it. Since she asked, he would state a reward.
"In the future, if I call you, if you can hear it, then answer me."
He said, looking directly into Ruan Mei's eyes.
Intuition told him that what Ruan Mei was plotting went far beyond what was shown on the surface.
Although he didn't know what Ruan Mei was doing behind the scenes, she was in a bit too deep.
Excessive paranoia only turns people into monsters.
Maybe Leon shouldn't meddle, after all, everything she did was her personal will.
Sigh, who asked his underlying logic as a long-life traveler saving the suffering to act up?
Ruan Mei met his gaze.
For some reason, she saw Herta's shadow in him.
The two were really alike, whether in personality or other aspects.
"...Okay."
Ruan Mei agreed to him, although she didn't know why Leon would suddenly make this request.
Compared to what he was doing,
This 'reward' was somewhat not worth mentioning.
"If I ask you to answer, it definitely includes after-sales service, rest assured."
Leon said so, also preparing to taste what this Minecraft specialty actually tasted like.
He picked up the silver fork lying quietly beside the plate.
Just as he was about to cut a piece, someone handed a piece that was already cut to his mouth.
Leon looked up.
Ruan Mei reached out her hand toward him, holding a fork with just enough cake for one bite, taking care of both seawater and lava, facing him at a distance where he could eat just by opening his mouth.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Leon didn't understand.
"I just felt you would like it?"
Ruan Mei's voice was gentle.
Although there still wasn't much emotion, this time one could feel her indifference was a few degrees less.
Leon didn't stand on ceremony and put the delivered bite into his mouth.
The taste was average, neither good nor bad.
But because of the wonderful mouthfeel experience, it wasn't completely plain either.
However, compared to its visually impactful appearance, it was indeed a bit unsatisfactory.
"Do you want more?"
"You eat yours."
Regarding Ruan Mei's offer, Leon waved his hand.
"I see your attire and appearance lean quite heavily towards the Xianzhou side."
He looked Ruan Mei up and down again. He had to admit she was indeed a bit of an airhead.
"Are you a Xianzhou native?"
Xianzhou people indeed have this preference for Jiangnan beauties in their bones, just like crane-hair and youthful face is ancient wisdom.
"My father was, but he had little relationship with the Xianzhou Alliance."
Ruan Mei's answer was vague.
Leon could tell she didn't want to say, so he didn't continue questioning.
Next, the two fell silent for a while, quietly finishing the cakes.
"Where to?"
After finishing the cakes, the two stood up together, and he asked.
"Let's just wander around casually. If we are to act, it is best to find a place with no people."
Ruan Mei walked side by side with him.
"If the 'World-Beguiler' is really here."
"Then as a 'Swarm King', she cannot possibly resist finding us."
Leon nodded.
To tell the truth, shortly after leaving the dessert shop, he felt someone following them.
Bugs always have no patience for prey; nature is hard to change.
Tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap.
Step by step, Leon deliberately walked towards a plain with no flow of people.
And after arriving at a place convenient to display his skills.
The fellow following them couldn't hold back either; a black shadow attacked from the rear in an instant.
"Why is there the aura of the 'Empress' on you?"
It launched an attack directly at Leon!
"And that guy 'Phantasmal Moth', the things transmitted were all messy."
The 'World-Beguiler's' appearance of a human girl began to change, returning to the Swarm's original ferocious bloody maw!
"Forget it, I'll just read it myself after eating your head."
The coercion of an 'Emanator' manifested directly from the rear!
"Hah!"
She began to exhale, preparing to bite off Leon's head in one go!
Leon turned around abruptly, having anticipated this long ago.
Accompanied by the sound of breaking air, his palm clamped onto the 'World-Beguiler's' neck like iron pincers.
"Hah... Cough..."
The 'World-Beguiler' used the human shell to constantly beat Leon's arm, but not only did the opponent not move a muscle, she even faintly felt recoil pain.
A hundred Pathstriders wouldn't be enough for the moves she just made.
But her proud 'Emanator' intensity couldn't even leave a mark on Leon's powerful body.
But how is this possible? She is an 'Emanator'!
The 'World-Beguiler' couldn't accept this result, so she directly increased her output. Several sharp blades like spider legs suddenly burst out from her spine to attack him!
At the same time, she brewed a large amount of pheromones in her mouth, preparing to use her racial talent to pull him into an illusion.
"Wow, there's even a Human-Faced Demon Spider."
But Leon was completely unaffected. After a flash of silver light, the spider legs attacking him from the 'World-Beguiler' were sliced off by him in the blink of an eye.
The next second, the suddenly increased force on the neck made the 'World-Beguiler' realize its mistake. It struggled even more violently, its desire to survive quite strong.
Can't breathe, brother.
"What part of the 'World-Beguiler' do you want?"
Leon asked Ruan Mei beside him, ready to act at any time.
"The tongue."
For the 'World-Beguiler' clan, to disguise as a person, the indispensable thing is to eat people—eat the original owner, then analyze everything about them.
Finally replacing them. Only in this way can a perfect disguise be achieved.
Naturally, the tongue of the 'World-Beguiler' clan is the protective coloration talent object inherited from 'Tayzzyronth' to protect themselves.
"Alright."
As the words fell, Leon clenched his left hand into a fist.
'Imaginary Energy' surged from his body, continuously compressed and covering his left fist.
"Unintelligible Swarm Speech"
The 'World-Beguiler' sensed a mortal crisis and immediately screamed in stress response.
Hoping Leon could let it off.
One can only say that after being human for too long, it even lost much of the bloodlust of 'The Propagation'.
"Jabbering about what? If you have something to say, say it to my stats!"
He strangled the 'World-Beguiler King's' neck tightly, then threw it high into the sky!
The next second, his left fist struck out directly, hitting it right in the face!
Boom-boom-boom!!!
The Imaginary Energy compressed to the extreme used the fist as a medium, transmitting directly into the body of the 'World-Beguiler King'.
Explosive sounds rang out from its body one after another!
Under one punch, under the scouring of 'Imaginary Energy'.
The shell of the 'World-Beguiler King' was directly evaporated, leaving not even half a residue.
Only the distorted, alien-shaped [Tongue] survived.
Falling slowly from the high sky,
Finally landing in Leon's palm, becoming an object in his hand.
"Four more left."
He held the 'Tongue' toward Ruan Mei, intending to remind her to take out the storage item.
As a result, she had already opened the Ruan Bag and was waiting.
"Are you really just an 'Emanator'?"
Ruan Mei had received a glance from 'Nous', so she had naturally felt the coercion of an 'Aeon'.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so fanatical about 'Aeons'.
"Your 'Imaginary Energy', whether in purity or magnitude, does not look like what an 'Emanator' should have."
Although the magnitude was hard to say—maybe other 'Emanators' really had this capacity.
But the purity truly had a huge gap.
She had seen Herta use the 'Magic' she spoke of, which was the form of 'Imaginary Energy' after being deconstructed and materialized.
Compared to his usage, the two were simply worlds apart.
This was a feeling difficult to describe in words; that chasm was truly hard to cross.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that it was because Herta was an Emanator of 'The Erudition'.
"I am 'Fuli'."
Leon chuckled. "Transfer me 50 credits and I'll make you a General of 'Remembrance'."
Black Swan: 111 (True), Brother, really? I'll initiate the team fight, combat record available for check.
"I did not sense half a fluctuation of 'Remembrance' on you, but that girl who was beside you before, the 'Remembrance' on her was quite heavy."
Ruan Mei discussed this answer, which sounded like a joke, with him quite seriously.
"The thoughts of 'Aeons' are hard to fathom."
"But for 'Fuli' to personally give you a difficult problem, He somewhat looks favorably upon you."
"Given time, you may not necessarily be unable to take over."
Although one could tell Leon was spouting nonsense, did he, personally entrusted with a task by 'Fuli', really have no hope?
Ruan Mei didn't necessarily think so.
"You're right, but the Path of 'Remembrance' is a..."
Sigh, no one believes the truth these days.
But this isn't Ruan Mei's fault. It is very normal that she couldn't sense 'Remembrance' fluctuations on him.
After the ascension of 'Fuli' ended.
He indeed didn't fish up much power of 'Remembrance'; what was left for him was only half a fragmented 'Position'.
This 'Position' allowed Leon, even if he hadn't stepped onto the Path of 'Remembrance', to mobilize some abilities of 'Remembrance' and achieve things only the Path of 'Remembrance' could do.
