Infinite Chimera Creation

Watching Yakumo Yukari's near-perfect performance, Blanche naively believed that the other woman was genuinely worried about Yuan Yuan. Therefore, while keeping a close eye on Yuan Yuan and taking notes in her notebook, she began to explain...

“No need to worry. If I’m not mistaken, my junior brother is probably aiming to obtain the [Life] rune. That’s why he first killed all life in this world, and then used his own body to evolve various life forms until all life forms are one person. If his previous experimental records are correct, then the possibility of condensing the [Life] rune by doing this is very high.”

Blanche, who was explaining while keeping an eye on Yuan Yuan, didn't notice that Yakumo Yukari was staring at her with an extremely strange look, and continued explaining calmly.

"My junior once said that our thought processes are very similar, especially in the field of life research. That's why I speculated about his motives based on what I wanted to do. And my speculation should be correct. You see, the changes have already begun."

Upon hearing Blanche's words, Yukari Yakumo quickly turned to look at the white gap. Just as Blanche had said, the changes had begun, and the changes were largely consistent with her predictions. The pieces of flesh that had fallen to the ground had now transformed into various kinds of animals, plants, and even tiny life forms invisible to the naked eye.

At this, Yukari Yakumo's expression became even more strange. She gently tapped Lolo's back with her folding fan and asked softly,

"Hey, can I ask you something? Did you guess what the guy was planning?"

Feeling poked in the back, Lolo turned around and glared at Yakumo Yukari, asking with slight displeasure,

"I didn't expect that. What's wrong?"

Lolo's calm demeanor immediately spurred Yakumo Yukari into a frenzy. She leaned close to Lolo's ear and whispered something excitedly.

"You're still asking what happened? You didn't even guess it, but that little girl guessed it. Doesn't that mean she knows you better than you do? You didn't get your boyfriend stolen, did you? If your boyfriend really got stolen, you'll really become a laughing stock. We've been friends for a long time, and since you can't do it yourself, we'll help you take care of this little girl."

"You really think too much,"

Seeing Yakumo Yukari's somewhat anxious expression, Lolo rolled her eyes again.

"Xiaoyuan and I are 100% compatible. You understand what 100% compatibility means, right? Even if I don't know Xiaoyuan and we don't have any common interests, our relationship is still incredibly strong and won't allow anyone to interfere."

Chapter 156 Divergence

When Lolo said they were 100% compatible, Yukari Yakumo felt relieved. Although the idea that 100% compatibility meant there would be absolutely no problem might sound a bit mystical and unbelievable, its effectiveness was beyond doubt.

Relieved, Yakumo Yukari stopped thinking about Lolo and turned her attention back to the changes on Yuan Yuan's side.

Across the white gap, Yuan Yuan, whose body was no longer shedding chunks of flesh, stood steadily in the air, seemingly having returned to normal. However, in reality, the amount of flesh remaining on his body was only enough to cover Hell and maintain its stability; the rest had all transformed into countless creatures below.

In this world today, microorganisms are Yuan Yuan, plants are Yuan Yuan, animals are Yuan Yuan, and everything that has a breath of life is "Yuan Yuan".

The sheep-shaped "Yuan Yuan" devoured the grass-shaped "Yuan Yuan," the tiger-shaped "Yuan Yuan" pounced on the deer-shaped "Yuan Yuan," and the fungus-shaped "Yuan Yuan" rapidly decomposed the corpse of the former "Yuan Yuan."

If not all life forms emitted identical soul fluctuations and belonged to the same individual named "Yuan Yuan," this would be a perfectly harmonious, normal, and ordinary ecological manifestation.

However, to beings who can perceive the fluctuations of the soul, this distorted scene, resembling "the unity of all things," is far too terrifying and bizarre.

At least at this moment, Yukari Yakumo's expression had become quite unpleasant.

Amidst the turbulent energy surge that seemed poised to erupt at any moment, all sorts of life forms appeared oblivious to the biting danger, leisurely carrying out their "normal" life activities.

And so, a day passed, two days passed, a week passed, a month passed, and nothing changed. The energy agitation did not subside, and the group rune [Life] that Yuan Yuan desired did not appear.

A month of waiting without any results would probably have made an ordinary person impatient, but neither Lolo, Blanche, nor even the notoriously lazy Yakumo Yukari could take their eyes off Yuan Yuan.

They are all waiting for an outcome.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Yuan Yuan, who had been waiting for a month high in the sky, frowned. At the same time, all life active on the land and in the sea ceased its activity, like abandoned puppets without human intervention.

"So, the world can't be fooled by the fact that the souls are highly unified. Even if the bodies are different, the souls are highly unified, so in the world's judgment, they are still the same life? This is really troublesome."

Sensing the still restless energy around him, Yuan Yuan frowned in disgust. If the goal was truly to create life, his current technology could easily produce a large number of artificial souls to fill the bodies of those beings.

But the key point is that his current goal is not to create life, but to obtain the [Life] rune.

The [Life] rune is clearly a collective rune, not something a single individual life can obtain. Yuan Yuan estimated that even the gods who claim to control life in certain worlds would not be able to get their hands on this rune.

After Yuan Yuan used 180% of Alaya's computational power, causing all research institutions in Hell to cease operations for a month, he finally deduced a possible method to obtain the [Life] rune.

To obtain the [Life] rune, one must reach the point where "I am all life, and all life is me," which is the result calculated by Yuan Yuan.

To be honest, even for Yuan Yuan, achieving this level would be extremely difficult and risky.

Just like now, after the method of simply splitting the body to keep the soul unified no longer works, in order to ensure that all life is "Yuan Yuan", Yuan Yuan cannot use artificial souls. He can only split and differentiate his own soul and use the differentiated soul to fill those bodies.

In this way, even if Yuan Yuan's soul was enhanced by madness, and its strength alone was almost enough to rival the world's consciousness, there was still a risk of losing himself after it split into billions of different souls.

If it weren't for the fact that the [Life] rune was so important to Yuan Yuan, who was researching life and modifying life, to the point that he absolutely had to obtain it, Yuan Yuan would definitely not have done such a high-risk thing.

Frowning, Yuan Yuan muttered another complaint under his breath, then began to endure the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart. He split his soul into fragments, then differentiated the pieces to make them less unified, so as to avoid being judged by the world as the same being again.

While splitting apart, in order to ensure that he did not lose himself, Yuan Yuan was also rapidly repairing his soul, so that the loss of his soul was not so severe.

The pain of having his soul torn apart was not important, but the loss of his soul caused Yuan Yuan a splitting headache. He rubbed his temples hard, trying his best to relieve his headache.

Although Yuan Yuan had a terrible headache, his actions this time yielded obvious results.

This time, life on earth and in the sea stirred again. Although their activities were no different from before, they appeared completely different in the eyes of the world.

Previously, the activities of these creatures were seen by the world as an individual named "Yuan Yuan". When it moved, its separate and different limbs were no different from those of a human waving his arm.

From the world's perspective, these activities are now seen as individual, real lives in motion.

With the missing life forms being filled, the world's hostility towards Yuan Yuan, who caused the extinction, immediately subsided, and the restless energy began to calm down.

However, although these life forms engage in symbiosis, hunting, and grouping, their activities are still not entirely complete in terms of their instinctive observation of the world, because they are missing the most important link.

Sensing that the energy agitation had subsided to a certain extent, but had stopped before it was completely calmed down and remained at a low level, Yuan Yuan frowned even more deeply.

"Damn it, isn't that enough?"

"Without the most important reproductive process of life, the world will not recognize that new life has appeared, which is really troublesome."

Just as Yuan Yuan was complaining, a tiger on the ground suddenly dropped the beef leg it was chewing and let out a furious and domineering growl.

“I can tolerate simulating animals and splitting my soul, but I can’t accept something as disgusting as mating with myself and giving birth to myself. If it really comes down to that, I’d rather give it up.”

In the ocean, a massive blue whale bursts out of the water, uttering chilling words.

"Give up? What a joke! I will never give up on what I've decided. It's just a matter of performing certain actions, exchanging a small amount of bodily fluids, and finally creating a young animal inside part of the female's body to fill the soul. When the time comes, it will be expelled from the body. What's so unacceptable about that!"

In the sky, a massive bird of prey swept across the sea, emitting wild and shrill laughter and cries of madness.

"Boring! So incredibly boring! Why don't you guys just die if you're this bored?! It's rare to find such a fun game, why refuse it? Why make it sound so boring?! Just go for it!! Think about it, think about it, doing it alone, that's incredibly rare!! It's super fun, isn't it!!!"

In the dense forest, the rustling of branches between the giant trees produced a precise, indifferent human sound.

"Observations show that the individual souls after differentiation are significantly different, and the possibility of conflict is extremely high. Directly recovering the original body may cause changes in personality, habits, and way of thinking, which is also high. It is recommended to reduce it to basic spiritual energy particles with high-purity madness before recovery."

P.S., I've reached a million words! I'm quite the wistful writer; whether it's studying art, calligraphy, playing soccer, or table tennis, I can't stick with anything for more than a few months. Yet this book has lasted a year without being abandoned—I must say, it's a small miracle for me.

Chapter 157 Our Life

Standing high in the sky, Yuan Yuan frowned, and a chaotic and violent light flashed involuntarily in his eyes, but it was immediately extinguished, and he returned to his cold and indifferent appearance.

In order to ensure that all life forms belong to Yuan Yuan and that the Life runes fall upon him, Yuan Yuan split his soul, but he did not completely sever the connection with the fragmented souls. As a result, the emotional fluctuations of those fragmented souls could be accurately reflected back to his own soul.

If we were to use a more accessible analogy to describe Yuan Yuan's current situation, the closest thing would be split personality, except that his situation is quite unique, having split into billions of personalities.

"Young man's willpower is truly astonishing. He dares to accept so many thoughts filled with various emotions. If I remember correctly, even those who have made gods through faith have to use their divine status to filter out the emotions of the believers before absorbing them, for fear of being influenced by those emotions and ultimately losing themselves."

Having discerned Yuan Yuan's current condition through the soul wavelengths of those "creatures," Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but admire him.

Just as Yukari Yakumo said, those beings who use faith to achieve godhood and frequently deal with emotions and obsessions do not readily accept the emotions of their followers. Moreover, few of those beings have a billion followers, while Yuan Yuan is currently accepting billions of emotions. No wonder even the well-informed sage of demons exclaimed in admiration.

Upon hearing Yakumo Yukari's words, Blanche's eyes flickered. [Is this the effect of madness my junior mentioned? To be able to strengthen one's will to this extent is truly enticing.]

If Yuan Yuan knew what Blanche was thinking, he would definitely give her a super sarcastic smile and tell her that it wasn't madness that strengthened her will, but rather a strong will that gave birth to madness.

People whose will is not strong enough or firm enough cannot cultivate madness. Even if they accidentally obtain madness, their will will be eroded by it, they will become crazy, and finally their soul will disintegrate and completely dissipate.

Many beings argue about "reproduction," but even more are those with exceptionally strong abilities, like Yuan Yuan. While others are still arguing, these beings have already begun to act according to their own ideas.

Those beings indifferent to reproduction paired up and, with a completely objective scientific mindset, began what could be described as "atypical masturbation." Meanwhile, those beings averse to reproduction, upon seeing those already engaged in reproduction, roared in anger and pounced, intent on killing them.

Standing in the air, Yuan Yuan watched all this indifferently, showing no intention of intervening. In the normal reproduction of life, creatures in their reproductive period are relatively weak and are more easily targeted by hunters. The current scene perfectly conforms to the laws of nature and is more in line with the world's definition of life, making it more likely that the [Life] runes will be generated. Naturally, Yuan Yuan had no reason to stop it.

The reproductive cycles of life are different. Moreover, these lives were created by Yuan Yuan, and their reproductive cycles were also set by Yuan Yuan. Therefore, new life was born in just one day.

When the first newborn appeared, the world had not changed much. But as more and more newborns of various races appeared, the world finally changed once again. The energy disturbances completely subsided, and a rich life force began to emerge.

Feeling all of this, Yuan Yuan's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He could clearly see that within his body, a fragmented magic rune representing "life" had begun to slowly emerge.

[Presumably, the complete magic runes will soon be formed.]

With this in mind, Yuan Yuan made a thought, and immediately, some lives began to age and die rapidly. At the same time, new lives also grew rapidly, making up for the gaps left by the old and dead lives, thus maintaining a relatively stable number of lives.

Birth, growth, reproduction, aging, death—the entire course of a life has been completed.

Suddenly, without any change in the weather or any dazzling light, without any warning, the magic runes representing "life" within Yuan Yuan's body were completely replenished.

At this moment, Yuan Yuan finally showed an undisguised smile.

Meanwhile, before the white gap appeared, Blanche, the only one of the three who could see the magic runes, also revealed a big smile. Although Yuan Yuan was the one who obtained the magic runes, she, who had once been Yuan Yuan's assistant and was now back in that position, knew that as long as she assisted Yuan Yuan while he was researching the magic runes, she would definitely learn something as well.

After all, the thing that gave Blanche the ability to stand on equal footing with Voldemort and his crew after Yuan Yuan left the Harry Potter world was what she had learned when she was working for Yuan Yuan.

Although Yukari Yakumo and Blanche couldn't see the magic runes, they knew from Yuan Yuan and Blanche's expressions that it was definitely over, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. Although they trusted Yuan Yuan, the absurd idea of ​​dividing their bodies and souls into billions of parts was still beyond their imagination.

Even in the long lives of Yukari Yakumo and her friends, which are longer than the lifespan of the world, they have never seen anyone dare to play with their own body and soul like this.

Lolo likes to travel around and has relatively few battles with others, so her experience is naturally limited. However, Yakumo Yukari is a true youkai. When she was young, she wasn't as lazy as she is now. Instead, like most young youkai, she was passionate and eager for battle. Later, because she had to protect the youkai she brought out of the original world, she was constantly fighting.

However, even for someone as experienced in battle as Yukari Yakumo, the person she had seen with the most instances of soul splitting in her long battle memories was a vampire who had split his soul more than 106,000 times. That vampire would switch between different personalities depending on the opponent, making him essentially omnipotent.

Even this renowned vampire ultimately self-destructed during his battle with Yukari Yakumo, due to the simultaneous activation of too many of his personalities. In contrast, Yuan Yuan created billions of personalities for himself and had them all awaken at the same time; it wouldn't be surprising if his soul suddenly collapsed and he turned into cosmic dust at any moment.

Yuan Yuan didn't care what the people in hell were thinking, or rather, because of the dual burden on his soul and body, he no longer had the energy to pay attention to what they were thinking.

"Phew, it's finally over. It's time to recycle these guys."

With a long exhale, a cold glint flashed in Yuan Yuan's eyes. He transformed into a gigantic serpent, coiled in the air, opened his mouth wide, and suddenly exhaled a mouthful of pale gas.

The pale gas slowly spread out, but no matter how far it spread, it did not fade; it remained pale, blocking out the sunlight and turning the earth into a gloomy place.

Suddenly, a bird, its personality devoid of reason, cried out wildly and plunged into the white mist. In an instant, the bird seemed to evaporate, turning into a pile of scattered spiritual particles that dispersed into the madness.

Looking up at the white mist in the sky, a jet-black raven let out a harsh, piercing cry.

"My short life is about to end."

Chapter 158 End

A pale, mad aura poured down from the sky, and the creatures, as cold as giant whales, stared at it indifferently, awaiting the end of their short lives, without wavering in the slightest.

The rational and indifferent beings, like ancient trees, silently calculated how they should die to give Yuan Yuan more spiritual power and maximize their benefit of returning to their original forms.
