Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

"Stop talking nonsense, kid. I'm still alive and well, aren't I?"

A scalpel appeared in Su's hand without his knowledge, and he immediately turned and slashed at his teacher.

"It was the serum made from Professor Farin's remains that saved my life. No matter how painful this fact is, I must admit it. It is precisely because of this pain that I am able to move forward."

Sue smiled.

"Goodbye, teacher."

......

Observer No. 27 has awakened. Its location has been successfully pinpointed.

Spassy sat on the ground, clutching his wound against the observation tower, blood flowing uncontrollably across the floor...

"Cough cough..."

He coughed, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

"Well done, Su. You truly are worthy of being our student. It's a pity... I can't keep my promise to buy you a drink..."

......

Chapter 153 The Lawgiver of Knowledge (Death)

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Because his location was exposed, the Herrscher of Knowledge was constantly on the run, so his actual combat strength wasn't much. Besides, that white-haired man... was terrifying...

The Herald of Knowledge was now in a state of turmoil. Her "god" had abandoned her; if she hadn't become stronger after leaving that man, she probably wouldn't have escaped. Thinking this, she seemed to have an idea…

"Yes, that's right, I can still turn things around, even though my God has given up on me. But He hasn't! This is my last resort."

......

As Jue Xi hummed a song, she returned to her small, shabby inn after finishing her meal, only to see the Lawbringer of Knowledge covered in wounds.

Jue Xi was somewhat surprised, wondering how Shi Lu was still alive. Was the "Moth Chasing Fire" really that inefficient? Nevertheless, he still teased her.

"Oh, you failed? How many people did you kill?"

The Lawbringer of Knowledge paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed. Why was he asking this? How could he possibly remember something like this?

"About tens of millions?"

Jue Xi frowned. He didn't remember seeing this many when he went through the story before…

"so much?"

Those who understood the law had some doubts.

"Is that a lot?"

Jue Xi fell silent for a moment. Indeed, for a Herrscher, killing so many people might be quite normal. Jue Xi then guessed why the Herrscher of Knowledge had come to find him. With a wave of his hand, the two appeared in the Theater of Domination.

"Tell me, what have you been doing all this time?"

……

While the Law of Knowledge was speaking, Jue Xi also asked a question. After all, the Law of Knowledge knew all of Su's memories, and she was quite curious. Jue Xi nodded.

"So Su's journey to joining the Moth of Flames was quite arduous. Speaking of which, Shilu, why did you think I would save you? You must have seen some of my memories, right? You know what happened to your predecessors, don't you?"

The Lawbringer paused for a moment, then said somewhat anxiously.

"I...I know...but I'll be a good girl, please, save me, I'll do anything you want."

"Please, I can do everything you can do, and I can even do things you can't. Have you forgotten? Your powers have all been enhanced by me."

At this point, Juexi suddenly thought of something...

If I were to seize and forcibly drain the power of the Law of Knowledge now, would I still be able to improve myself?

The Law Enforcer noticed something was off about Jue Xi's gaze. He took two steps back and cautiously asked.

"Master... what are you doing?"

"It's okay, don't be nervous, it will pass quickly."

A devilish smile appeared on Jue Xi's face. In an instant, he appeared before the Herrscher of Consciousness. After coating his hand with a layer of ideal fluid, he plunged one hand directly into the Herrscher of Consciousness's chest, frantically absorbing her power...

"Pfft."

Jue Xi pulled her hand out of Shi Lu's chest, and the Herrscher's core was also taken out directly. Jue Xi shook the blood off her hand with some disgust.

"What bad luck, I can't even absorb it. Looks like this bug doesn't work."

Those who understand the laws of nature are now taking in less air and exhaling more air.

"Mu Juexi...can I ask you a question?"

Jue Xi hadn't expected that Shi Zhilu's life force was so strong, but at this moment, she wasn't thinking about surviving but about asking questions. Jue Xi replied with great interest.

"Just ask."

"Ahem, why would you reject such beautiful dreams... those are unique dreams tailored to each of you. Aren't those beautiful, unreal dreams better than cold, cruel reality?"

This really stumped Juexi. She never expected that the knowledge of the pre-civilization could ask such a question. It seems that she is not completely hopeless. She is indeed worthy of being a little knowledge of the pre-civilization.

Jue Xi first used the "Creation" power of the Death Law to give her a hand, preventing her from dying without getting an answer. She was so kind, sigh. Jue Xi produced a handkerchief from somewhere and said while wiping her hands.

"I can only offer my own understanding. Real life is full of regrets, and most people have things they desire but cannot obtain. This leads most people to be controlled by their beautiful dreams, but the reality is that life goes on. Some choose to dwell on the past, refusing to move forward and escaping reality. Others choose to carry the past and move towards tomorrow. Sue, and that PhD student, are probably the latter, but I ask myself honestly, I don't have their lofty ideals. By the way, I answered one of your questions; shouldn't you answer one of mine?"

"Cough cough..."

The Lawgiver coughed, and for some reason, her tone of voice seemed to soften considerably.

"go ahead."

"Why kill so many humans?"

The Law Master paused for a moment, then said with some sadness.

"Before I became a Herrscher, I was also human. But one day I suddenly became a Herrscher, and since then, it's as if there's another 'person' in my mind, constantly ordering me to do things, such as coming to find you for the first time and killing humans... When that thing escaped from my body, although I could feel myself dying, the voice in my mind also disappeared. By the way, if possible, I hope you can use that ability less."

"Okay, okay. I'll be fine."

Jue Xi waved her hand impatiently, dispelling the Herrscher powers that were acting on her. Without the protection of the Herrscher powers, her consciousness gradually dissipated.

Jue Xi stared at the Herrscher core in her hand, lost in thought. She already possessed the Herrscher of Domination and the Herrscher of Ice, but these were wild Herrscher of Understanding cores produced by the system. She figured that accepting them would bring her an improvement...

Two months later...

Mebius has just completed the second major surgery of his career… a super-transformation surgery on an infant. Blanca… her favorite assistant died in the Eighth Honkai… and her child, Gretchen, was also caught in the blast, critically injured, with only super-transformation surgery offering her any hope of survival…

"call……"

Mebius had just breathed a sigh of relief and stepped off the operating table. The surgery was considered a success. Just then, her assistant, Klein, brought her a package.

"Doctor... I've told you so many times, don't buy instant noodles and junk food online. You should eat in the cafeteria regularly."

Mebius took the milk tea Klein handed him and glanced at the package.

"Okay, Klein, got it~"

Möbius thought for a moment, realizing he hadn't ordered any deliveries recently. And this milk tea tasted pretty good; why had he told Juexi he didn't like it before? Möbius suddenly sat up straight, thinking to himself.

No, does he really know what the future holds? Back then, I didn't like milk tea before I met Klein, but judging by the current trend, I've liked it ever since I met Klein. And this package...

Mebius quickly opened the package, and inside lay a Herrscher core...

Chapter 154 Herrscher of Rock

Mebius glanced at the envelope, then immediately resealed it and put a hand to his forehead.

"Mu Juexi, Mu Juexi, who exactly are you?"

After some thought, Mebius contacted Mei and told her about the matter. After a morning of deliberation, Mei convened a meeting that afternoon, announcing that Jue Xi was not a "traitor," but had some undisclosed reasons for temporarily leaving the Firemoth. She then presented the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher, telling everyone that it was the one she had sent. Although even if he were a traitor, the higher-ups knew Jue Xi's strength and wouldn't cause him trouble, they were still relieved when Mei said he wasn't a traitor but simply on a mission. After all, even if Kevin was strong, he only gained the power to destroy Herrschers after undergoing the Super Transformation Surgery, while Jue Xi hadn't undergone the Super Transformation Surgery when he destroyed the Herrscher. Just how powerful would Jue Xi be when he became a Fusion Warrior? Everyone was filled with confidence for the future.

Kevin also went to find Su after hearing the news of the Herrscher of Knowledge's death. Although Su probably already knew, he considered him a good friend from his student days and felt he should comfort him, especially since he still had Mei's mission to complete. He arrived at Su's room and saw him sitting on the floor, holding a tin wine jug and about to drink from it. Kevin immediately rushed over and snatched the jug from him.

"Su, when did you learn to drink alcohol? Aren't you a doctor? This is not a good habit."

Su glanced at the wine pot and said calmly.

“Kevin…that belongs to Dr. Spacy…”

Kevin paused for a moment, then returned the wine jug to Sue.

"Su, thanks to the information you provided, we were able to severely damage the Eighth Herrscher and finally destroy her. It's a pity that Dr. Spacie sacrificed himself, along with most of the people in the laboratory. Su, giving up won't help. Dr. Mei has extended an invitation to you; she hopes you can transfer to headquarters and join the 'Stigmata Project' research."

"Project Stigmata?"

......

Ultimately, Sue agreed to come to headquarters and participate in the "Stigmata Project" research. Under the relentless pressure from Alicia and Aponia, Qianjie also joined the Flame Chaser. Just as the Flame Chaser was developing steadily, the Ninth Herrscher was born...

The mere appearance of the Ninth Herrscher triggered a massive pseudo-black hole, completely engulfing and destroying the Mu continent. After this event, people had to admit that the Herrscher's destructive power... was growing ever stronger.

Meanwhile, Jue Xi was still slacking off. Ever since that strange law of consciousness spoke to him last time, he had realized that something was wrong with him, so this time he decided not to use any of the Rock Law's power.

As for why I didn't absorb the Herrscher core and instead gave it to "Fire-Chasing Moth"... well, illness can come from what we eat. What if something happened if I absorbed the Herrscher core? Anyway, I now have the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, so I'll just leave the core to Fire-Chasing Moth.

The moment the Firemoth received the news, its superiors immediately organized a squad to subdue the Ninth Herrscher. This time, the squad was led by Hen, who brought Kevin, Kosmo, and others to the battlefield.

However, when facing the Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Rock, who possesses the power to manipulate gravity and alter terrain, numbers are clearly of little use…

Not long after the battle began, only Kevin, Kosmo, and Hen remained in the squad, with Hen being seriously injured.

"Cough cough..."

Hen was squeezed by the powerful gravity and uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew that if this continued, everyone would be doomed... poor his daughter, Gretchen, who had just been born.

Hen looked up with difficulty at Kevin and Kosmo and gave them instructions.

"Kevin, Kosmo... if I'm gone, please take good care of Gretsch for me."

Kosmo's pale face revealed his anxiety as he looked at Hen.

"Captain, what are you saying? Little Gretchen just lost her mother. You must live!"

Kevin's complexion was also not good. He didn't say anything, but just stuck the Skyfire into the ground and barely managed to stand up straight.

From her vantage point high above, the Ninth Herrscher, clutching her severed arm, glared angrily at the three still struggling figures. She looked at Kevin, the white-haired man, who had actually injured her with that strange weapon—unforgivable…

The Ninth Herrscher intended to wear down the three of them indefinitely. Under immense pressure, Hen used all his strength to hurl his weapon at the Herrscher; the instant the weapon left his hand, his heart, lungs, and legs were crushed by the force of gravity.

The Ninth Herrscher was also startled by this sudden turn of events, because in her view, the man was committing suicide. Her ability to exert gravity was limited; she only considered who posed the greatest threat and thus applied more power to them. In the instant the man attacked, she overlooked Kevin and instinctively focused on Guan Hen…
