My Girlfriend's Ancestor, or the Ancestor of an Ancestor?

Li Bei's net worth now exceeded 40 million energy points, and Kevin alone had contributed a significant portion of that.

"You're screwed, host! Kevin's in for a world of hurt."

Even though the system considered itself pretty heartless, it had to admit it was no match for Li Bei's machinations against Kevin.

"Does he have some kind of grudge against you? Host, how could you come up with such a messed-up plan?!"

Thinking about Li Bei's final move, the system, despite lacking a head, felt its scalp tingle.

"Seeing the person you love most chopped up and strung together, and the ones doing it are you and the person he wanted to protect, and the most important thing is that the rage of these people is actually justified..."

"When I first met him, in order to get closer to him, you made me spend energy to create a Honkai beast model to create an encounter..." Li Bei smirked. "I said back then that I'd make him pay it back with interest, big time."

"See? Did I keep my promise or what?"

"Just, just because of that!?" The system was dumbfounded. It never expected such a trivial reason from Li Bei.

That happened over a hundred chapters ago! Was it necessary to hold a grudge for so long?

And the models of the Honkai beast didn't cost much to begin, Kevins's output had long paid for.

"Host, is it necessary to be so petty over such a small thing?" the system said, heartbroken. "That could drive someone insane."

"I can't help it, because I'm just that kind of [petty] person – just kidding." Li Bei casually grabbed a can of cola from his mini-fridge and said calmly, "Of course, it's not just that ridiculous reason. The reason for doing this is, of course, to farm energy. And the reason for choosing him..."

"Like you said, encountering this kind of thing might just drive someone insane, and Kevin happens to be a very strong person." Li Bei smiled confidently.

"Because he's such a strong person, even if he suffers some unimaginable pain, he can still endure it and not turn into some kind of raving lunatic." (he is)

That's right, he was specifically calling out Otto. Just seeing the person he liked burned to a crisp in front of him was enough to make him go completely insane – thumbs down!

"High energy recharge efficiency, a strong mental state, and even the reasons for the events are so sufficient – it would be a crime against nature not to choose him!"

As Li Bei said, Kevin was the perfect patsy from every angle, so it was only natural that he was chosen.

"Host, you're such a heartless, bad woman..."

"Energy can be earned again, but if you lose your conscience, you can earn even more."

"But anyway, it's not my problem anymore~" Li Bei shrugged and snapped his fingers.

"Now, let the players' energy settlements roll in. Even if Honkai doesn't have the same hype as Chainsaw Man, I died so tragically, everyone should give more energy than the previous audience... I won't aim too high, but at least 10 million energy, right?"

As if on cue, a huge amount of energy arrived – 8 million points!

Seeing a number much lower than he expected, Li Bei instinctively frowned. "System, you didn't skim off the top, did you?"

"Host, don't go around accusing people of things... Something seems a little off."

The system's hesitant voice interrupted Li Bei's words: "The difficulty of Li's appearance in the Elysian Realm is too high. Most players haven't cleared it yet, so their energy hasn't been sent over yet..."

"?"

Li Bei slowly typed out a question mark. "Then where did this energy come from?"

This amount of energy was even more than what Lihua earned from the audience through the manga back then. How could the source be unknown?

"Although the amount is large, this energy mainly comes from a dozen units with a large number."

Suddenly, an ominous feeling surged into Li Bei's heart.

And this ominous premonition soon became reality – because his clone, Unit 01, was frantically sending him messages!

...

While Li Bei went to activate his third account, Lihua, as Unit 01, remained on Earth, carrying out her activities.

Because the future prediction had previously shown Li Bei's main body being chased all over the place by the Immortal Phoenix, Li Bei directly took the opportunity to play with Gao Ming and Liu Yue, to slip to the neighboring Sakura Country to avoid the limelight temporarily, leaving behind Lihua, who couldn't escape, to face Hua, who had almost strangled her to death.

And just after Lihua activated her clone, a new anomaly occurred almost immediately.

Unable to contact her main body, Lihua had no choice but to go check out what was happening – although, because it was a Honkai wave, she figured it was highly likely that the Immortal Phoenix had arrived.

When she actually arrived at the source of the Honkai energy fluctuation, carrying the Judgment of Shamash, Lihua realized something was wrong.

The building made of stone didn't look like the style of Shenzhou.

She remembered that Hua had run off to Mount Taixu to become an immortal, so even if she brought her home with her when she transmigrated, it shouldn't look like this.

And soon, the figure that walked out of this stone building made Lihua feel that things were going very wrong.

This purple hair, this confident yet clear, slightly airheaded expression, and these horns on her head... Isn't this Raiden Mei, fam?!

Lihua was truly dumbfounded. Shouldn't the one coming be the Immortal Phoenix?

How did it become one of the main characters!

So what should she do now? She couldn't win in a fight, and besides, there seemed to be no reason to fight her...

In the end, Lihua chose to temporarily lower the Judgment of Shamash.

"Raiden Mei?" / "Lee?"

They almost simultaneously said each other's names, except one of them awkwardly misidentified the other.

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else..."

Although she felt a little embarrassed, Raiden Mei still wanted to maintain her new, cool image that she'd been maintaining since beating up Kiana on the rooftop.

The other person's reaction didn't seem quite right, but this appearance...

Raiden Mei narrowed her eyes slightly.

The wallpaper on Su's phone in the Elysian Realm was her photo, and Griseo's paintings also featured this face.

Raiden Mei could feel that the Elysian Realm was closely related to this person, but she couldn't ask, and at most she only learned that person's name from Griseo.

But after calming down and detaching herself from the influence of the Elysian Realm, Raiden Mei thought that the person in front of her seemed more like the person often mentioned in the Schicksal textbooks, especially the greatsword in her hand...

"Lihua Kaslana?"
