After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

“Jewelry is about to lose control, and the Doomsday Independent Kingdom is about to change drastically.”

Chapter 60 The Story of Zhen Youli and Zi Jin

"Has the world changed?"

Elusia frowned, a hint of doubt showing in her crimson eyes.

"Hmm, Princess Elusia... do you remember that I said Caster was the third Director of the Institute of the Post-Apocalyptic Independent Kingdom, and I was the second Director? So who was the first Director?"

"..."

"That was artificial intelligence, Ms. Sadaya. However, what she did was so bizarre that even the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom thought it was too strange, so records about her were completely sealed in history."

What did she do?

"She actually copied her consciousness into many other people..."

"!!!"

"Isn't Sadayori capable of hypnosis? In fact, she can also subtly transfer her own thoughts and ideas to other people. Although the affected person's appearance will not change, she will actually become a clone of Sadayori, with her thoughts, values, and will almost identical to Sadayori's."

Miss Fryk's words made Elusia and Lonnie gasp.

Because this kind of thing sounds like...

……

"Yes, it's like everyone has been infected by some kind of virus and turned into robots. The people on the street, although they look different and are of different ages, are all doing the same things and chanting the same slogans."

"..."

"We are of one mind, we work together, and we share the same goal, so there is absolutely no war or division—that's what people say."

"That guy, can he even do something like that?"

“Yes, I was almost scared out of my wits back then. I had just been born and didn’t have this mindset now… Besides, Yoshimi’s clones were handing out flyers, inviting everyone to get cloned and enjoy that sense of belonging.”

"Isn't this just like a cult?"

"Yes, but at that time, humanity had already 'defeated' the Alien Civilization and the Supreme Civilization, so Zhen Youli's approach was still in line with the future of the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom to some extent. Because once there were no external enemies, humanity began to engage in various internal struggles again. The knowledge and technology from the Supreme Civilization and the Alien Civilization were like gold, attracting people to flock to them and fight each other."

"..."

"And Yoshimi's approach can undoubtedly reduce the internal strife in the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom. It will make the whole country more united than ever before. Moreover, Yoshimi has set up a factory to prepare everyone to undergo transformation."

"Transformation?"

"Yes, that is, regardless of gender, everyone's body will be transformed into the same intersex state. In this way, everyone's appearance, lifespan, assets, personality, time, and future can be completely equal and fair. People will not form camps because of differences, nor will any classes or cliques be formed."

The eight-tailed fox sighed. To this day, she still hasn't forgotten the shock that had shaken her back then.

Elusia and Shirayuki exchanged bewildered glances. Regardless of the merits of Jurei's actions, what she did could truly be described as insane.

……

"But in the end, she didn't succeed, did she?"

"Yes, because the purple-haired boy who was bullying me earlier stepped in to stop her."

"The purple-haired boy..."

"Yes, she is actually a girl named Zi Jin. She seems to have some connection with the sun goddess Lonnies and the moon goddess Yue Jianshuang. She came to the independent kingdom, and no matter how they communicate, she says she completely cannot understand Zhen Yuli's actions and is prepared to stop her by force..."

……

……

----------------

……

“Zhen Youli, let’s stop here. Your behavior is completely wrong.”

The purple-haired youth stormed into the research institute, his flowing purple hair fluttering in the wind, making him appear so clean, neat, and dashing.

“Zi Jin, you are the inheritor of the ice technology, the former Queen Zi Jin, the creator of turning prisoners into maid dolls... Why don’t you understand my thoughts?”

Jōyūrei raised her head, and not only her head, but all the Jōyūrei clones influenced by her also raised their heads.

"Yes, I am a modern-day reformer, and I also enjoy training others to serve me as maid dolls. But even so... each of my maid dolls is special. They have different appearances and personalities. They are definitely not just copies of the same machine."

"Heh, so your Purple Gold Group can only hold 7 people? Even with your superior skills, you can only bring happiness to 7 people, right? But what I lead is a nation!"

“I don’t deny that, but Yoshimi, your thinking is undoubtedly wrong… because humans need differences to evolve. If everyone were the same, the world would stagnate completely!”

Zi Jin waved her arms, trying to wake Zhen Youli from her daze.

But Sadayuki angrily raised her head and said:

"Stagnation? How could that be? Even if a person doesn't communicate with others and lives in the wild all the time, they can still grow through experience and trials! And that kind of growth will be much more profound than many ineffective exchanges between humans! Zijin, just you wait and see, my path is definitely the right one."

"Are you still so stubborn? Then I will have to stop you by force."

"Alright... I had the same idea. Let's use our strength to decide who is right?"

……

------------------------

……

"After that, Zi Jin and Zhen Youli engaged in an earth-shattering battle, but that battle was fought without the sight of gunpowder. Because both of them were experts in computers and data processing, they clashed countless times in the virtual world."

"So in the end...did Zi Jin win?"

Bai Ye was also engrossed in the story and couldn't help but ask a question.

"No, Baiye, according to the current history, neither of them should have won, right?"

"Uh?"

"Because the later independent kingdoms of the apocalypse took a compromise approach?"

Elusia sighed, and the eight-tailed fox nodded, her eyes filled with regret: "Yes, in the end, neither of them won; they perished together."

"perish together?!"

"Well, although I don't know what happened, after that, the existence of Zhen Youli disappeared along with the existence of Zi Jin. No one in the world can know anything about the two of them anymore, and as someone who is related to both of them, I was forced into becoming the second Director of Research of the Post-Apocalyptic Independent Kingdom."

As she said this, Fryk blinked, looking somewhat regretful:

If I had been as mature and intelligent back then as I am now...

That would have been good; perhaps then there would have been a way to prevent Zijin and Zhenyouli from dying. But at the time, I was just a naive young girl. I didn't know who was right and who was wrong, so I used the modification devices left behind by Zhenyouli to try to compromise and explore a path that was uniquely mine.

"Eight-tailed fox..."

"And you know what happened next, right? I completely retained my personal will, but I also retained hypnosis... Although my actions gained the support of the people and saved the existence of the post-apocalyptic independent kingdom, such an ideal was more about happiness than power. In the end, that guy Caster usurped the throne and exiled me to other places."

"Waaah..."

……

Listening to the eight-tailed fox's narration, Lonnies felt a sense of historical vicissitudes pile up in her heart.

So, while we were immersed in the end times, humanity as a whole made so many unique attempts for the future?

Even a thousand years later, after Lonis had experienced so much, she still couldn't use her own knowledge and judgment to evaluate whether Zhen Youli and Zi Jin's actions were wrong.

But at least one thing, Lonnie understood...

The fact that both of them died is so tragic.

If I could go back in time, would I still be able to see either Zhen Youli or Zi Jin and help them resolve their inner conflicts?

……

……

Chapter 61 The Epilogue of the Ruins of the City

……

Thinking about this, Lonnie blinked and her brows furrowed.

However, at this very moment...

Elusia closed her eyes slightly and said with certainty, "I understand now. I didn't expect that you've always liked SeSe because of what you went through."

"You could say that."

"Well, I'll handle the follow-up. But Eight-Tailed Fox, I suggest you be prepared."

"Oh... what preparations?"

"Because when we go back to the past, we might meet Zhen Youli and Zi Jin, but they probably haven't met you yet, right? If you want to say something, remember to prepare in advance."

The narration from the eight-tailed fox thus comes to an end.

Elusia only wanted to help Silent Leaf resolve her inner conflict, but she unexpectedly learned about the past.

In order to completely resolve this matter, Elusia also sought out Silent Leaf and Hoffa, and said to them:

"Well, you two, I have a task for you to complete together."

"I understand about the job."

"Princess Elusia, what kind of job is it?"

Silent Leaf and Hoffa both agreed readily, because they were now considered Elusia's companions.

“Recently, the Eight-Tailed Fox has been thinking about some things from the past, and her mood may be a bit biased and melancholy. You should take this opportunity to spend some time with her.”

"what?"

"Play with the eight-tailed fox..."

"Any way is fine, but my condition is that you all have to be happy, okay? Also, I'll send Candel to observe... Remember to make that little guy happy too."
