Such behavior is praised by some as good, but others say it's disgusting to exploit public empathy for profit, reducing development and advertising costs for potion companies.

Although both sides argue, fortunately there is a buzz, and many people indeed noticed Shui Yanqing, a songstress of mediocre fame, ultimately leading to the project Shui Yanqing invested in receiving funding and the favor of some brilliant talents.

"In the brief life after my awakening, I learned a lot, and it made me realize that sometimes doing a small thing well is already not easy." These were Shui Yanqing's words during an interview. Compared to her debut style, her appearances in the media have significantly decreased, becoming much more low-key.

"Due to my specific experiences, I really want to help those who share the same pain. Perhaps I can't be that songstress universally adored and loved by everyone, but I hope that through my efforts, some overlooked groups can be seen by everyone."

After living in the Federation for more than ten years, Shui Yanqing gradually realized that no matter how hard she worked, she could not be recognized and liked by everyone like Ores or Evelyn, because her identity was inherently politically incorrect. Thus, she eventually shifted her mindset and style, focusing on a small group of people.

'Everyone has their own mission, and mine is to help those who suffer the same hardships.'

When she said this, Shui Yanqing was surrounded by many children dressed in white hospital gowns. They gathered around the blue-haired girl, seeing her as their support.

Unlike other songstresses, Shui Yanqing has no family, nor does she have a so-called hometown or refuge. The 'Water Wings Rescue Association' that gave birth to her has long been annihilated in the dust of history, and the elder who discovered her from the ruins has also passed away.

Although her identity as a songstress has brought her considerable power and wealth, loneliness has always accompanied her. She is an outcast in the crowd, finding acceptance only within a small community.

While the wealth brought about by glory can numb much pain, not all people are lost in pleasure. Some become acutely aware of the sadness at the end of life and begin contemplating how to face it.

Giant corporations such as 'Forbidden Fruit', 'Tailed Double Snakes', 'Eternal Gene', 'Dream Returning Workshop', 'Tuwei Tower', 'Polo Biological', and 'Axialan Memory' are dedicated to extending human life and exploring the origins and causes of biological genes, consciousness, and memories. They are also the biggest supporters behind Shui Yanqing.

The client base of these companies is spread across the Federal Upper Echelon. No wealthy tycoon or noble doesn't wish to live longer; they are even willing to pay a hefty price for it.

As the authority of the Federal Center diminishes and various ideologies arise, the once strict defensive stance against genetic editing is gradually softening. Some Star Domains even hope to leverage these industries to vigorously develop their local economy and improve their living environment.

Changes are happening everywhere, from the most prosperous central area of the Federation to the distant, remote countryside. As the unified order gradually collapses, many once repressed matters are slowly surfacing.

After returning to the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, Tilan first led people to deal with several internal incidents recently erupted from the 'Jade Dragon', including accidental accidents, espionage, and personnel betrayal and information leakage.

With this top-rank songstress in charge, the massive mental tide swept the entire field. It could be said that where she passed, hidden adversaries surfaced like reefs as the sea receded. The subsequent process was also extremely simple, needing only her to name them for the white-clad, silver-armored guards at her side to take action and capture these individuals.

Faced with the powerful mental intimidation of this songstress, many undercover individuals felt fear and trembling, with some recklessly attempting a desperate move, trying to seize the other side for a sliver of survival.

The sharp purple blade emerged momentarily on the underground plaza. From the crowd standing on the ground, a figure suddenly dashed out with incredibly fast steps, moving at a speed hard for those around to detect, then sprang up, with the long blade arc tearing through the air, slashing with a pitiful brilliance, directly at the songstress girl standing on the high platform surrounded by guards.

From revealing himself to advancing, the span of over 300 meters took less than a second, making it rare for anyone to react in time under normal circumstances. However, the sharp purple long blade ultimately stopped five centimeters before the girl's nose bridge.

Sparks of shattering crackled out, with two snow-bright longswords intercepting the incoming blade in mid-air, while three other silver swords pierced the opponent's body from different angles. The subtle silver strands spreading from the sword body also numbed and calmed the opponent's internal Magic Power, preventing its operation and use.

A few guards draped in cloaks stood before the girl, shielding her and isolating her behind them. Then, the members who besieged this assassin slowly withdrew their swords, and due to exhaustion, the opponent slowly sat down on the ground, with a bit of blood beginning to seep from the cold, numbed wounds.

Soon enough, several specially-made restraining shackles were fastened on his hands, feet, and neck, and the assassin was escorted away. As he struggled to look back one last time, he could only see the human wall of guards blocking his view, unable to glimpse the expression of the girl beyond.

"Truly a pity." He felt a bit dizzy, then slipped into unconsciousness.

Several tens of seconds later, Tilan opened her mouth to ask after watching the opponent disappear at the end of the corridor.
