Infinite Chimera Creation

"From the information I have gathered, due to the advancement of human science, people no longer have any fear of yokai and gods, leading to a sharp decline in the number of yokai. In order to protect the yokai race, you united a group of powerful individuals, established a great barrier, and created Gensokyo."

Staring directly into Yakumo Yukari's eyes, Yuan Yuan's face showed a rare look of confusion.

"But judging from the abilities you've demonstrated, you could have easily destroyed the then-nascent human science, killed most of humanity, and kept a portion of them in captivity to ensure their fear. Even if your power level is truly as strong as rumored, you could have dragged out the world's consciousness and given it a beating, forcing it to suppress the development of human science. At the very least, if human scientific development is beyond destruction, you could simply take all the monsters to another world to develop; there's absolutely no need to build a barrier to hide."

"Phew, so this is what you think of Gensokyo. It seems our measures for Gensokyo have been quite effective. Although some information inevitably flowed into the lower worlds, important information was kept in the dark and didn't actually spread. Only some false information circulated to the lower worlds."

Using a folding fan to cover half her face, Yukari Yakumo chuckled softly, her pride undisguised in her voice.

"Brother, your question happens to be related to the matter we need to ask you for help, so we won't hide it from you."

Clearing her throat, Yakumo Yukari's expression finally turned serious. Although this seriousness always gave off a deliberately feigned sense of insincerity, Yuan Yuan wouldn't interrupt her at this moment, letting her continue speaking as if she were pleased with herself.

"In fact, Gensokyo is not a so-called Great Barrier, but a world egg that is about to mature."

After saying this brief sentence, Yakumo Yukari fell silent and quietly began to drink her tea. Yuan Yuan also remained silent, silently watching Yakumo Yukari. After a long while, he spoke in a cold voice.

"That's it? Like I just said, you could have taken all the monsters and invaded other worlds. There was no need for you to stay cooped up in an underdeveloped world egg. Aren't you going to explain that?"

Yukari Yakumo, who was drinking tea, was stunned. She looked at Yuan Yuan in disbelief and spoke incredulously.

"Shouldn't you be very surprised right now? You need some time to sort out your thoughts and adjust your previous misconceptions?"

Chapter 84 Restraint

"I was indeed somewhat surprised, but not to the extent you described. After all, I've always been skeptical about the existence of Gensokyo."

Yuan Yuan pushed up his glasses and explained in a cold voice.

"In that case, I will continue my explanation."

Yukari Yakumo stared at Yuan Yuan for a long time, and after confirming that he was telling the truth, she sighed helplessly.

"As you said, if we wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult to take the entire demon race across the world. But we didn't do that because our strength is too great."

Blinking, Yuan Yuan looked at Yakumo Yukari, whose smile remained unchanged, and spoke with slight hesitation.

"Hey, didn't someone just take the opportunity to explain to me and shamelessly praise themselves?"

Yakumo Yukari rolled her eyes at Yuan Yuan, but wasn't angry.

"I'm telling the truth, I am indeed too powerful. I wonder if you've noticed, young man? With your current strength, entering most worlds will trigger the world's instinctive rejection. Staying for a short time might not be a problem, but if you stay in a world for a long time, this rejection reaction will become stronger and stronger, and eventually the entire world will attack you at any cost. The outcome of this strong rejection is either that you voluntarily leave the world or die, or that the world self-destructs due to the excessive rejection reaction."

Yuan Yuan frowned and nodded slightly. He had also noticed the phenomenon that Yakumo Yukari mentioned, which was why he had not entered Inuyasha's world with his main body, but only sent his clones in.

Seeing Yuan Yuan nod, Yukari Yakumo was not surprised. After a brief exchange with Yuan Yuan and a rough estimate of his strength, she guessed that Yuan Yuan had begun to be rejected by the world.

Maintaining her smile, Yukari Yakumo continued speaking.

"If you continue down this path and become stronger, you'll find that this rejection is also growing stronger. And this rejection will no longer be directed at you alone; those around you will also be affected."

At first, it's just people related to you by blood. Later, your friends, your enemies—anyone who comes into contact with you—will be rejected by the world. Even when you become more powerful, those who have never met you but are of the same race as you will also be rejected and attacked by the world.

You are powerful enough to leave the world and escape this rejection, but those who are connected to you do not have the power to leave the world and can only passively endure its malice.

Even if you are powerful enough to kill or destroy a world, you cannot stop this world's rejection. Ultimately, you can only wander between worlds, never having a fixed place to settle.

In the end, Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Clearly, what she was talking about were all her personal experiences.

Rubbing his temples, Yuan Yuan realized that he had even more headaches to deal with.

"Logically speaking, you are a being that exists in its own right. Strictly speaking, your race is the [Gap], not the [Gap Youkai]. But just because you have the title of [Youkai], has the entire Youkai race been affected? That is truly astonishing."

The dejection on Yukari Yakumo's face only lasted for a moment, then vanished in an instant, before she immediately returned to that somewhat unpleasant, mocking smile.

"Surprising, isn't it? But that's the truth. The world is just that unreasonable. It will use every means to reject those who are stronger than it can control, and it won't even let go of the traces of their existence."

Lowering his hand from his temples, Yuan Yuan revealed a side of himself other than indifference to Yakumo Yukari for the first time. His lips, seemingly unrestrained by muscle contraction, curled upwards to both sides, even reaching his ears. With just this simple gesture, his previously cold face was filled with mockery.

"So you just ran away with the entire monster race, right?"

Yukari Yakumo was taken aback by Yuan Yuan's sudden change in expression, and it took her a while to react. She then glared at him with displeasure.

"Wow, what you said is correct, but running away is such a rude thing to say."

Before Yukari Yakumo could protest, Yuan Yuan had already dropped his mocking expression, lightly tapped the table, and revealed a thoughtful look.

"So, you're hiding inside the World Egg because the World Egg isn't mature yet and doesn't possess the strong repulsive power of a mature world?"

Staring at Yuan Yuan, who seemed to have done nothing, Yakumo Yukari's expression was somewhat helpless. Fortunately, she wasn't the type to let her emotions cloud her judgment. While plotting her revenge against Yuan Yuan, she answered his question.

“Brother, your deduction is only partly correct. The World Egg does not reject us, but the lifespan of the World Egg is limited. In the end, there are only two outcomes: maturity and death. Mature World Eggs will also reject us, and dead World Eggs cannot survive. Ultimately, they cannot live there for long. Every once in a while, we must move with a group of monsters.”

Even though it was the home of someone he was meeting for the first time, the certain sage demon acted as if he were at home, lazily leaning back and lying down.

"We don't want to do something so troublesome. So, in order to make things easier in the future, we've found some other people who are also rejected by the world and are troubled by it, and together we'll figure out a way to solve this problem of being rejected by the world."

Yakumo Yukari was undoubtedly a rare beauty, with a figure that was simply stunning. Even lying there, her ample bosom remained impressive, and the few strands of golden hair falling across her chest added to her allure. Such a breathtaking scene should have captivated any man, but unfortunately, the man facing Yakumo Yukari was completely oblivious to her charms.

"Is the solution you've come up with just building Gensokyo? And also,"

Seeing Yakumo Yukari's lazy demeanor, Yuan Yuan's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"Be a little reserved here, don't act like you're at home. Okay, sit up quickly."

"Shouldn't you say, 'Don't be so nervous, relax, and just treat this place like your own home'? Girls don't like boys who are too stingy."

With a lazy wave of his hand, the idle demon showed no intention of getting up.

"Breaking through Lolo's blockade to locate this place and forcibly crossing multiple worlds to get here has exhausted all my energy for today, so I'll just lie here and explain it to you."

"Sorry, I'm married."

Yuan Yuan raised an eyebrow coldly and casually retorted, but didn't make Yakumo Yukari sit up again. After all, Yuan Yuan had only just met Yakumo Yukari and didn't know if what she said was true. If Yakumo Yukari was really tired, then letting her lie down wouldn't be a problem.

P.S., it's the beginning of the month, so I'm asking for monthly tickets, donations, and even giving myself monthly tickets—I've had enough of that! =_=

Chapter 85 Are You Questioning Me?

"While it's true that Gensokyo is essentially a world egg, it's not the kind of commonplace thing you can find in the void with a little effort, because it's entirely man-made."

Lazily lounging in someone else's wife's room, the certain youkai sage showed no embarrassment whatsoever, explaining the secrets of Gensokyo to Yuan Yuan with a tone tinged with pride.

"You heard me right, it's completely man-made. Including the rules of time, the rules of space, every rule in this world egg was constructed by us and our helpers."

Upon hearing this, even the arrogant Yuan Yuan couldn't help but show a hint of admiration on his face.

It's important to know that the birth of a typical World Egg usually occurs due to some kind of accident, such as a chaotic void or a battle between powerful beings, which violently creates a blank area.

This region, which conceptually exists nothing and is in a state of "nothingness," has a certain probability of giving rise to the most basic rules and the most basic concepts of space and time during the process of operating in the void.

Under the influence of time and space, other subordinate rules will be born one by one. When most of the rules are in place, a world egg will be born. When the world egg matures, a complete world will appear.

It is precisely because of this similar mode of creation that the various worlds possess a certain degree of uniformity. These worlds may differ in terms of life, environment, and so on, but the most fundamental concepts of time and space are exactly the same. It is also because of these similarities that, despite their differences, the various worlds share the same attitude of rejection when faced with a powerful being.

What Yukari Yakumo and her friends are doing now is clearly an attempt to create a world that is completely different from any existing world, both in appearance and in its foundation—a world born entirely according to their wishes.

This matter sounds very simple, but in practice, it is more difficult than destroying a world in one fell swoop. You must understand that mastering any one of the fundamental rules can fundamentally elevate an ordinary life form, transforming it into a life form of authority.

What Yukari Yakumo and her group did was to create dozens, even hundreds, of fundamental rules. Moreover, while creating these rules, they also had to face the backlash from the void, because a world completely different from the ordinary world would undoubtedly be regarded as an alien object by the void.

"Your ambition and ability fill me with sincere admiration."

Yukari Yakumo, who was rolling around on the ground, froze, her lazy expression turning into a somewhat adorable blank look. After a few seconds, she snapped out of it, a playful smile spreading across her face.

"It seems the young man's impression of us has improved quite a bit. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Yuan Yuan's eyebrows twitched twice, selectively ignoring the person's shameless remarks. Adjusting his tone, making his voice less cold and more gentle, Yuan Yuan finally spoke.

"So, what exactly is the purpose of your special trip here? Is it to invite Lolo to participate in your Gensokyo creation project?"

After a brief moment of thought, this was the only explanation Yuan Yuan could think of for Yakumo Yukari's purpose. After all, Yuan Yuan was far from being able to write rules into a world egg, so no matter how he thought about it, Yakumo Yukari's goal couldn't possibly be him.

But to Yuan Yuan's surprise, Yakumo Yukari shook her head, sat up, pointed her folding fan at Yuan Yuan, and her expression became extremely serious.

"We already said this, right? It's you here, bro."

Yuan Yuan's brows furrowed unconsciously, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Since your target is me, and you specifically confirmed that I am at the level of life modification, does that mean you want me to help you modify or create some kind of life? That's not difficult. Tell me, what kind of life do you need? Whether it's a life with a strong body to suppress the flow of spiritual energy in the world, or a life that can transform into thousands to maintain world order, I can create it."

Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Yukari Yakumo's face revealed a somewhat pleased smile.

"Although we've already confirmed that your life modification skills are extraordinary, I never expected them to reach this level. It's truly astonishing. If Yuuka heard what you just said, she would probably be very happy too."

Upon hearing the name "Youxiang," the first image that came to Yuan Yuan's mind was a woman with the purest green hair, standing in an endless field of sunflowers.

"The Yuuka you mentioned earlier, you mean Kazami Yuuka? You said she would be happy to hear what I just said. Maintaining world order is the duty of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, so does that mean Kazami Yuuka is responsible for suppressing the flow of spiritual energy in Gensokyo?"

Yukari Yakumo nodded, confirming Yuan Yuan's guess.

"That's right. Gensokyo hasn't fully developed into a complete world yet, and sometimes there are still situations where spiritual energy flows and surges. In order to prevent the results of our joint efforts from being damaged, we can only ask Yuuka, who has a strong body, to suppress the spiritual energy. After all, not to mention strength, in terms of physical strength alone, even Suika and the other oni are not as good as Yuuka."

His eyes narrowed, and his tone became lighter; the sage demon was clearly in a good mood.

"To suppress spiritual energy, Yuuka has never left Gensokyo since its birth. If you can create a life form capable of suppressing spiritual energy and take over Yuuka's duties, she can also go out and travel to other worlds to relax."

“Your questioning makes me very angry. I said I can manufacture it, and that’s it. The words ‘if’ and ‘really’ are unnecessary modifiers.”

A flash of anger crossed Yuan Yuan's eyes, and his voice deepened. Having his most prized possession questioned ignited a fire of fury within him, even though he rarely got angry.

"You're a complete novice, you don't know anything, so let me give you a lesson and tell you how barren and pitiful your understanding of life is. Do you think that creating a life form that can take over Kazami Yuuka's duties is equivalent to creating a powerful being of her level? How laughable!"

You have no idea what a life form can achieve by focusing on strengthening just one ability.

Since the desired outcome is simply a life form with sufficient physical strength to suppress spiritual energy, then why not just strengthen that aspect alone? Sight, smell, taste, touch, cognitive abilities, motor skills, combat abilities, even lifespan—all abilities unrelated to physical strength—should be discarded. Under these circumstances, creating a life form capable of suppressing the flow of spiritual energy would be effortless.

P.S., I'd like to ask everyone a question: Have you seen "Log Horizon"? We'd like to do a poll. If you have, please raise your hand (press 1 in the comments). Thanks!

Chapter Eighty-Six: The Difficult Problem

"That's a brilliant statement. We apologize for our previous doubts and ask for your forgiveness."

Faced with the furious Yuan Yuan, Yakumo Yukari remained calm, stood up, bowed deeply, and resolutely apologized to him.

Seeing Yakumo Yukari's behavior, Yuan Yuan frowned, but the anger that had just ignited within him could no longer be contained.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway. After all, you're a complete novice and know nothing about life, so it's understandable that you might doubt what I'm saying."

Seeing that Yuan Yuan was no longer bothered by it, Yakumo Yukari, who had just stood up, lazily lay back down again. Her leisurely posture made Yuan Yuan's eyebrows twitch.
