Infinite Chimera Creation

But the space beneath Xiao Yuanyuan's feet and around his body remained pristine. The grass was still lush and green, the sky still azure, and even the air lacked the sulfurous smell of lava, as if the outside air had been replaced out of thin air when he came to him.

Even at Xiao Yuanyuan's feet, several small flowers that had never appeared here before bloomed, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

The eerie difference between the two environments gives one the feeling that...

"It's like the whole world is helping me, isn't it?"

Having seemingly finished examining his body, Xiao Yuanyuan raised his head, looked at the group of human-faced eagles circling not far away, and revealed a cold smile.

Those human-faced eagles that survived by not attacking Yuan Yuan circled in terror in the sky. They desperately wanted to escape to a distant place, but they didn't dare to do so. They could sense that the terrifying being that had suddenly appeared was not allowing them to run away.

"Forget it, they all seem to be terrified. In that case, let's just kill them all."

Despite having no subordinates by his side, Yuan Yuan waved his hand dismissively and casually gave his orders. The moment Yuan Yuan finished speaking, a massive pillar of magma shot into the sky, engulfing all the human-faced eagles.

Looking at the suddenly appearing pillar of lava in front of him and smelling the unusual scent of grass, a look of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Yuanyuan's eyes.

"Is this the Child of the World, or rather, the protagonist? It feels pretty good. It was worth all the effort I put into figuring out the method to merge the world's barriers."

That's right, the strange scene that is happening now is the result of Yuan Yuan entering the world using a special method.

In the previous two worlds, through studying the protagonists of various eras such as James Potter, Shinji Hirako, and Ichigo Kurosaki, Yuan Yuan had already developed a vague definition of the so-called "protagonist".

In Yuan Yuan's view, the so-called protagonist is a life form whose body or soul is similar to the world's consciousness, world barriers, and other fundamental elements. Because of these similarities, the world will regard these life forms as part of its own foundation, protecting and blessing them, thus creating the so-called protagonist halo.

The degree of similarity determines the extent to which the protagonist's halo works.

Some protagonist halos allow their masters to have a harem and enjoy family bliss, while others only bring them temporary happiness before they are beheaded with a woodcutter's axe.

Some protagonist halos allow their protagonists to suddenly unleash their power and successfully turn the tide in times of crisis, while others only turn their protagonists into super cockroaches who are impossible to kill.

When Yuan Yuan's blood traversed the world barrier, it completely imitated, or rather, completely replicated, the structure of the world barrier. This made the world perceive him as "part of the world barrier, a crucial component of the world's foundation, and absolutely not to be harmed."

It can be said that Yuan Yuan's body, which was derived from a few drops of blood, is currently carrying the strongest protagonist halo in history. Although this halo can only be used in this world, it is enough for the plans to be carried out next.

After adjusting his small, pure white priest's robe, Xiao Yuanyuan thought for a moment, then created a pair of glasses in his hands that gleamed with a chilling light from any angle, and put them on.

"Indeed, I'm very well-suited to glasses."

Nodding in satisfaction, Yuan Yuan's expression turned cold again.

"Good afternoon, my domesticated animals. It's a pleasure to see you all."

The moment Yuan Yuan spoke, his figure appeared before all life in the world, and his cold, emotionless voice resounded throughout the entire world.

Chapter Seventy-Five: Awakening

"As expected of Lord Yuan, after so long of absence, you've made such a commotion as soon as you show up. But Lord Yuan really hasn't changed at all; he's still as impolite as ever."

Looking at Yuan Yuan's image in front of him, Douya Wang took a big gulp of wine, his smile as bold as ever, but compared to back then, there was now a hint of fervor and worry deep in his eyes.

"My lord, is this the Lord Yuan Yuan whom all the great demons have been longing to hear about?"

A graceful and elegant woman with white hair, dressed in a feathered robe and as beautiful as a fairy, leaned against Touya-oh, lightly touching the image in front of her, her eyes sparkling with a hint of curiosity.

Holding the woman's hand affectionately, Touya nodded with a light laugh.

"That's right, this is the friend from hell I was talking about. I just don't know what his plans are for this high-profile appearance."

At this moment, Yuan Yuan in the video opened his mouth again.

"All living beings in the world pursue strength; this is the most irrepressible part of the life instinct."

"So when those weak, unable to move forward realize that there is something that can make them strong, even knowing it's unsafe, they will frantically pursue that wonderful power. Then..."

Yuan Yuan spread his arms wide, his voice becoming somewhat fanatical.

"My blood is useful to you livestock who are willing to sacrifice yourselves for power."

Yuan Yuan's fervor came quickly and went just as fast. He soon regained his previous coldness and, without needing anyone's answer, continued speaking on his own, addressing the question he had just asked.

"Of course it works! After all, it's my blood. Swallow my blood and feel the power surging from the depths of your body. Have you become addicted?"

"The answer is yes. Even if you find your bodies becoming less and less like your own, even if you're driven mad by your own weakness and powerlessness, you still won't give up the delicious power you've already obtained. However, everything in this world comes at a price. In most cases, an equivalent exchange is inevitable. Therefore, everyone..."

Slowly closing his eyes, Yuan Yuan took a deep breath, as if expelling all the air from his chest.

"It's time to pay the bill, let's return to the right path."

As Yuan Yuan uttered his last word, the world descended into chaos. Scattered throughout the world, all beings who had drunk the blood considered a priceless treasure—whether demons or humans, ghosts or spirits—discovered in horror that the precious blood was detaching from their bodies, seemingly yearning to fly away into the distance.

What terrified these people even more was that when they first swallowed the precious blood, it had already forcefully fused with their bloodline and soul. Now that the precious blood was out of control, it seemed as if their souls and bloodlines were about to detach from their bodies.

Threatened with losing everything, these beings, who had grown powerful through Yuan Yuan's blood and stood at the pinnacle of the world, descended into madness. They roared, wailed, and pleaded.

The pathetic greedy ones used every means at their disposal—sealing techniques, spirit summoning techniques, demonic arts, divine summoning techniques, Yin-Yang techniques, blood-burning techniques—yet they still could not prevent their own demise.

Some parts of these bodies have become serpentine, and the monstrous creatures reveal their true forms in agony. In their unconscious struggles, they turn everything around them into insignificant fragments, and finally lose everything in a ruin, becoming a handful of inconspicuous ashes, mixed in with the broken bricks and tiles and no longer distinguishable.

On that very day, the sky turned a blinding crimson. It was the blood of countless defeated souls, carrying their wailing spirits, traversing the sky and surging towards Yuan Yuan, who was only three fingers in size. To be precise, it surged towards his open mouth.

As the first drop of blood entered Yuan Yuan's mouth, through the resonance of their shared bloodline, a spatial passage transcending the barriers of the world was established between Little Yuan Yuan and the Mortal Python. A continuous torrent of blood surged through Little Yuan Yuan's mouth, madly pouring into Hell.

The blood and souls that enter Hell first go to the tenth level, where they are analyzed and recorded by the fully powered Alaya consciousness, which analyzes and records their structure, function, and origin. After everything of value has been divided into three parts and written into the database, the blood and souls are then sent through a specially opened, highly stable white gap to the mouth of the mortal python, where they are compressed and condensed by Yuan Yuan.

Within the world, blood surged into Yuan Yuan's mouth; outside the world, blood flowed into the mouth of the mortal python.

[Eternal life transformed into the blood of the heavens], encompassing the bloodlines, souls, and resentments of all races and beings in the world who died unjustly. Faced with something that can cause immense harm to the world, if you can continue to slumber peacefully, then die with this world, World Consciousness.

With a rapidly growing blood sphere in its mouth, the Mortal Serpent stared intently at the world below, its eyes flashing with a cold, malicious light.

At this moment, the world's consciousness seemed to realize that something was wrong and began to instinctively retaliate against Yuan Yuan.

A scorching meteorite suddenly appeared above Yuan Yuan's head, falling rapidly, but was shredded into fragments by a hurricane of equal suddenness halfway down. Then, a bolt of lightning struck Yuan Yuan, only to be shattered by another bolt of lightning; a flood erupted and surged towards Yuan Yuan, but was all drawn deep into the earth by a sudden fissure; a large horde of crazed demonic beasts appeared, roaring and charging towards Yuan Yuan, only to be swallowed by gushing lava in the distance.

Standing in the air, devouring blood, Yuan Yuan watched the disasters that could absolutely not harm him, his face full of malicious smiles.

[As expected of the World Consciousness; even its instinctive malice before awakening can create a disaster targeting a specific life form. Fortunately, this body is protected by the World Barrier; otherwise, even I would be overwhelmed trying to maintain a highly stable spatial channel that wouldn't harm my soul while fighting against the natural disaster unleashed by the World Consciousness.]

While maintaining the stability of the spatial passage, Yuan Yuan harbored malicious thoughts.

However, this scene of world consciousness confronting world barriers should be considered an internal conflict within the world, and such a rare spectacle must be recorded.

Scenes of natural disasters battling against natural disasters continued to unfold around Yuan Yuan, but they did not cause him any harm, nor did they slow down his rate of consuming blood. The blood tide continued to surge wildly into Yuan Yuan's mouth and then converged into the mouth of the Mortal Python.

Finally, as the blood sphere in the mouth of the mortal serpent grew larger and larger, a strong sense of crisis finally awakened the great will that had been sleeping deep within the world.

When those eyes hidden behind the world opened, the whole world fell silent, or rather, the whole world came to a standstill. The splashing water stopped falling, the burning candlelight stopped flickering, and the surging tide of blood ceased to flow.

P.S., I recommend a book called "The Daily Life of the Devil's Agency." It's a crossover anime/manga series. Although I haven't read the content, the title of "A Thousand-Year-Old Girl, A Thousand-Year-Old Loli" should be guaranteed, so feel free to read it.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Fate

Faced with this scene where the whole world had fallen silent, a hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Yuan's eyes.

"Just a preliminary awakening can bring the entire world to a standstill? A complete world consciousness is truly terrifying. Faced with such a power that simultaneously interferes with time and space, even I would have to go through a great deal of trouble to continue the plan if it weren't for the protection of the world barrier. But now,"

Although the entire world had come to a standstill, Yuan Yuan's actions remained uninterrupted thanks to the world barrier. He adjusted his recently acquired glasses, a dangerous smile spreading across his face.

"It's so much easier for me to leave the troublesome task of fighting against world consciousness to the world barrier."

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan gently made a small cut on the palm of his right hand.

The wound was truly tiny, almost insignificant even on Yuan Yuan's body, which was now only the size of three fingers. Yet, this small wound easily broke the stagnation created by the world's will.

Sensing that "a part of himself has been hurt," even though the World Barrier is not alive, has no consciousness, and doesn't even have instincts, its most basic defensive and counter-attack functions still made it react.

In an instant, a violent power, chaotic yet containing hidden order, carrying a trace of the void, descended upon Yuan Yuan's body, and immediately sensed the power surrounding Yuan Yuan that made the world stand still.

The world barrier, recognizing this power as a threat, suddenly unleashed an even greater force, shattering the power of world consciousness centered on Yuan Yuan, instantly restoring the world's operation. Meanwhile, the blood tide in the air once again surged into Yuan Yuan's mouth.

"Please stop what you're doing. You're a powerful being from another world. If there's anything you want, you can just say so. There's no need for this."

A thunderous sound echoed in the sky. Realizing that its attempt to stop time had failed, the world consciousness spoke for the first time, still trying to attack Yuan Yuan relentlessly, but was blocked by the world barrier time and time again.

Yuan Yuan pushed up his glasses, revealing a malicious smile. A vibrant green snake head sprouted from his shoulder, taking over his job of devouring the blood tide.

"It's surprising that the World Consciousness would say 'please.' Logically speaking, since you're being so polite, I should have a proper talk with you. But, I don't like talking to people I can't see, so I'm sorry, I refuse to communicate with you."

"Your request is incomprehensible. I do not have a physical body. Even if I create a body to talk to you, it does not mean that you can see me."

"Ah, my request is just a personal habit; you don't need to know."

Yuan Yuan pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing on the lenses that obscured his gaze.

"If you don't know what kind of body you want to sculpt, I can give you a template, how about that?"

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan raised his hand, and in his palm, a raptor with crimson flames swirling around it, its wings flapping as it slowly circled.

This firebird was the true form of Luo Luo, which Yuan Yuan had only seen once. Although Yuan Yuan thought Luo Luo's true form was extremely beautiful, full of beauty in every sense, and of extremely high aesthetic value.

However, it seems that because she was frightened by Yuan Yuan's overly fanatical and dangerous gaze when she first revealed her true form in front of him, Luo Luo never transformed back into her true form in front of Yuan Yuan again.

Although Yuan Yuan was disappointed, he was unwilling to force Luo Luo on this matter.

However, now that the world consciousness needs to create a body, Yuan Yuan naturally thought of this long-standing regret.

"It looks somewhat like Anka, a Principality-level life form. If we only copy its appearance and not its abilities, it should be fine."

"Can you only copy the appearance? Fine, better than nothing, you can just become this body."

Nodding somewhat disappointedly, Yuan Yuan indicated that the world consciousness could begin.

The World Consciousness clearly didn't want to get entangled with Yuan Yuan on a matter that, in its view, was meaningless, so it didn't say anything more and directly began to shape the body.

A hazy ball of light appeared in front of Yuan Yuan, rapidly fluctuating, and in less than two seconds it transformed into a beautiful raptor soaring across the sky.

Its eyes darted around twice, then it looked at Yuan Yuan. The raptor opened its beak, as if to continue their conversation.

"Which reckless idiot dares to look like me?!"

Suddenly, an angry female voice resounded throughout the world, interrupting the world's consciousness from speaking. Simultaneously, a crimson flame, brimming with domineering power, descended from the sky, forcefully piercing the world's barrier and slamming into the newly formed raptor. In an instant, the matter constituting the raptor vanished completely from the world, leaving not a trace.

At the same time, the entire world trembled violently. Clearly, the world consciousness that had poured part of its consciousness into the new body was also seriously injured by the flames.

After destroying the newly constructed body of the world's consciousness, the crimson flames did not dissipate. Instead, they quickly transformed into a furious girl. With a domineering swing of her flaming whip, she burned away most of the obstructive river of blood in the air, revealing the clear blue sky once more. The girl spoke in a furious voice…

"I'd like to see which idiot is so bold as to not be afraid that I'll track you down to the very beginning of the void and utterly destroy you...?"

In the end, the girl's angry expression turned into a blank stare. She looked at Yuan Yuan, whose forehead veins were throbbing wildly and who was covering his face with one hand, and then at the Blood Tide, which was mostly burned by her own flames. A look of utter despair crossed her face.

"Xiao Yuan, did I ruin your plan? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Looking at that familiar figure, Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and felt a headache that he hadn't experienced in a long time.
