The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

As expected, Admire never forgot about the man-made Law Maker...

"You don't doubt me?" Zhu Yufeng tilted his head.

"I have no doubts." Admiral said, "If you were a Herrscher who was hostile to humans, you wouldn't have to hide until now. From a universal point of view, you had many opportunities to directly destroy human civilization... But you and Mobius founded the World Serpent together, and you were targeted by almost all the Herrschers. The Seventh Herrscher was determined to kill you, the Eighth Herrscher wanted to trap you forever, and the Ninth and Tenth Herrschers never forgot to throw dirty water on you... The rumors about the Tenth Herrscher have not completely eliminated their influence until now, right?"

"I don't need to care about those rumors." Zhu Yufeng smiled faintly and said, "I go my own way. What does it have to do with what others think of me?"

Because if you want to challenge fate, you must put yourself in a position higher than fate and look down on the world.

"The Chimera Project is to allow fusion warriors with strong Honkai adaptability to further fuse more Honkai beasts' hypermutation factors, so as to improve their own Honkai adaptability and gain power beyond Herrscher." Admiller said, "And in this process, the transformation of the fusion warrior's body by the hypermutation factor has led to the birth of the Herrscher's body qualifications..."

Admiller paused, then said: "Assuming that the Cocoon of the End or the Tree of Imaginary Numbers really exists, and the theory of the Herrscher of the End is valid, then there is only one way for an artificial Herrscher to actively become a Herrscher without the help of the Herrscher Core..."

"When the last Herrscher, the Herrscher of the End, arrives, I will use the large amount of Honkai energy needed to give birth to the Herrscher of the End to absorb it into my body and forcibly promote the birth of an artificial Herrscher." Zhu Yufeng said.

Admiller was stunned for a moment, and then he muttered to himself as if he had gotten an answer: "I see... In other words, the Herrscher of the End is indeed as I calculated. In the near future, he will be born due to a super-large collapse that will cover the entire world..."

Zhu Yufeng recalled that in his previous life, the global Honkai energy converged on the moon, and the Herrscher of the End was born at the location of the End Crater. Before that, he intercepted a large amount of Honkai energy that was heading to the moon, and endured the pain of tearing all the cells in his body. At a certain moment, he became the true thirteenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Time.

Although now it is more like the Herrscher of the End...

After a long while, Admiral looked at Zhu Yufeng with a complicated expression and said, "If what you said is correct, that was our previous life... Then, humans failed in the end, right?"

"This civilization did fail, but it still left behind a spark of hope for the next civilization. However, Mebius and others have not figured out why it returned to the present," said Zhu Yufeng.

"The spark of hope..." Admirer's eyes moved towards the screen again, "Feng... If what you said is true, then at the end of the battle with the End in the previous life, you... should not have been killed by the End, but collapsed and perished because you could not bear that level of Honkai energy, right?"

Zhu Yufeng was silent. How did Admirer figure this out? Wasn't he in charge of the construction of the Tianting together with Rolf Ko? He still had time to do this research... Well, Admirer was a workaholic. After becoming a fusion warrior and improving his physical fitness, he wanted to work overtime 24 hours a day...

It's on par with Klein...

"Really... If there is such a thing, you should have said it earlier... No, from a common sense perspective, we shouldn't be told about it to people like us who don't have memories of our past lives, and there is also Dr. Mobius who also has memories of his past life..." Admiral pressed his brow and said, "Am I right? At least Dr. Mobius and Dr. Velvet definitely have so-called memories of their past lives."

"That's right." Zhu Yufeng admitted.

"Okay, let's go back to the original discussion. Since you admitted that, it means that my research direction at this stage should be correct." Yadmiqile said with one hand on his chin, "However, I also believe that Dr. Mobius's talent is not only far superior to mine, but also impossible to be lower than mine. If she existed in her previous life, how could she not know the final result of doing so? If my analysis is correct, Dr. Mobius should have feelings for you that can be called love between humans, right? Is she willing to do this?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Admiral and said nothing.

"Well, Margaret's matter is indeed..." Admiral lowered his eyes, "But in my opinion, Dr. Mebius is at least much more emotional than me. She should know that the final result of that plan will only be a dead end for you."

"She may know, but my determination cannot be changed." Zhu Yufeng looked towards the door. "My ladder to godhood was built by all the fallen angels at the cost of their lives. I used Vishnu's special ability to forcibly merge all the fallen angels... and thus obtained the qualification to become a god. This is also what you deduced."

"In my last life... has it actually come to this?" Admiral sighed deeply. "The price of forcibly obtaining the qualifications to become a Herrscher in that way is to accelerate your own self-collapse. At that time, your body will be in a state of balance between collapse and repair, but this state cannot last for too long, or it is already in an unbalanced state that tends to collapse... The result is that you will inevitably die."

Zhu Yufeng was silent. Mobius knew about this, but it seemed that Mobius had chosen to deceive herself. In fact, as early as the final stage of the Ascension Plan, before she became the Herrscher, Mobius should have known her final outcome. She just stubbornly asked herself to promise her that she would survive after the End War.

But I died in the End War, and Mobius asked me to promise her that it would be after the End War... Rounding it off, it was not a breach of contract. I think at that time, Mobius was just deceiving himself, telling himself that he could still survive... But in fact, they both knew very well that the End War would be his end.

"But... since you have verified the success of this plan, if we fail again this time, the next civilization will have a final insurance." Yadmiller said, "The Stigmata Project can help share some of the Honkai energy and force a balance between collapse and repair."

"So, if two Herrschers give birth to a child, will the child also be a Herrscher?" Zhu Yufeng suddenly asked. He had no other intentions, he just wanted to know the result, because Alicia and Lilith were both Herrschers...

Admiral was silent, then looked at him with a very speechless expression and said: "Do you think Herrschers are cabbages? Two Herrschers can give birth to one Herrscher... I definitely suggest that you and Lilith have more children right away."

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

Should he tell Admire that Alicia is also a Herrscher?

"Lilith was able to become a Herrscher because she has an active Herrscher core in her body." Admiral said, "The power of a Herrscher cannot come out of thin air. Even if you became a Herrscher as you said in your previous life... it can only be said that your power is the closest to the end... In theory, the offspring of you and Lilith should have a highly adaptable Herrscher core. In other words, they should have a perfect Herrscher body. Well, from the perspective of human evolution, I still suggest that you have more children..."

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

Then Alicia...

"Wait... How did Lilith become a Herrscher?" Admiral frowned and realized something was wrong. "Is she the same as you? No, she is also a fallen angel..."

"She... is a natural Herrscher, and has been one since her last life."

Admiral: “???”

Is Honkai really so unreasonable? A natural Herrscher born as a human?

Chapter 304: Past Trauma

On a certain island.

Su and Seele walked along a weed-covered road.

"I should still thank you for coming to assist me." Su said, "Because of the special nature of the stigmata on your body, I was able to discover this 'Divergence' world bubble and... prepare myself."

"The 'Divergence' world bubble... I heard you briefly talk about it before I came here. It's because someone in our world made a decision that was different from reality at a certain moment, and then the world bubble appeared, right?" Seele asked, "So, in this world bubble, who made a different choice, and the impact of the choice was great enough to create a world bubble, who is that person?"

Su was silent for a moment. He looked forward with a complicated expression and said, "That person... is right in front of us now."

"Ok?"

Seele followed Su's "gaze" and looked forward, looking at the man not far away with some disbelief and said: "Kosmo? Is it him? What choice did he make?"

"Although this bubble was only recently formed in the quantum sea, the time when the 'bifurcation point' was generated should be the Eighth Herrscher event." Su said, "And this bubble is not very stable at the moment, and it can't exist for long. And you can also clearly see that this bubble is also very small, and its range is limited to this island. After observing here, we need to evacuate as soon as possible."

"And the living person on this island is Kosmo, right?" Seele said, crossing his chest. "You said that the 'divergence' occurred during the Eighth Herrscher incident, that is, during the Destobia incident... Kosmo in this world, did he choose to escape?"

"That's right." Su nodded. "He didn't choose to merge with Vishnu again, so he failed to save Destobia. In the end... after Destobia died, he chose to leave the Fire Moth and exiled himself to this island. This is the story of this world bubble."

"So Kosmo is quite important. The fact that he chose to escape from this 'divergence' alone has a huge impact, enough to create a world bubble." Seele shrugged and said, "Can this be considered as barely fulfilling his wish to become a hero? After all, a hero's choice in a story can often affect the direction of the entire story."

Su sighed softly and said with a complicated expression: "Yes... every choice made by the hero is enough to affect the direction of the story."

Kosmo's escape was enough to cause a "divergence slice" of the Eigenworld to fall into the quantum sea. Then...what about Feng and Alysia, who played a crucial role in the past and now? Didn't they hesitate or think about changing their choice?

And Lilith too...

Theoretically, the choices made by these three people at critical moments can all produce "divergence slices", but in fact, in the quantum sea, there are no "divergence slices" related to them.

Or is it because of their special nature as the Origin and the "End" that the Quantum Sea cannot replicate their reflections? This is not impossible. Although Feng's identity as the "End" is still in doubt, the probability is actually quite high.

Su's mind was highly concentrated and he was thinking quickly. In fact, some time ago, he discovered a "divergence slice" that was born from a choice made by the Seventh Herrscher Uriel during the Seventh Herrscher incident. But just as he was about to observe it, the slice world bubble was annihilated, and all the energy of this world bubble did not "flow back" to the quantum sea after its annihilation, but was absorbed by something.

The moment Su was about to explore the direction where the energy disappeared, his inner alarm bells rang loudly, and at the same time, a very familiar sense of oppression spread from the direction where the energy went...

It was Vita, it had to be her.

As soon as Su sensed danger, he quickly moved his thoughts away from that world bubble, and even took detours and left interference information everywhere so that Vita could not confirm his whereabouts.

This was almost his subconscious reaction.

But afterwards, he suddenly had a very risky idea. If Vita was indeed in the quantum sea all the time, and she was the one who absorbed the energy after the annihilation of these "disjunct point slices", did it mean that she could give the answer he was looking for?

After all, as a "bystander" in the quantum sea, perhaps no one can know better than Vita whether the intrinsic world has been reset, and Su can also use this to confirm the connection between Feng's power and the end, the tree of imaginary numbers and the quantum sea.

But... it takes courage to negotiate with Vita. Although Zhu Yufeng thought that Vita was not that vicious when talking about Vita, Su was always wary of this. After all, hundreds of millions of years have passed. Even a normal person would go crazy, not to mention...

Su actually doesn't really believe Zhu Yufeng's understanding of "good and evil"... He doesn't even look at the kind of people around him in his previous life. He can tolerate the "evil" of all fallen angels. Such a Feng, his views and understanding of good and evil may indeed be somewhat different from his own.

Anyway, Su put himself in the identity of Zhu Yufeng. If he had known in his previous life that Lilith was such an extremely evil person, even Su would have chosen to erase Lilith, a scum of the world, in advance for the future of mankind, or place her in a place where she could not access more power and information, so as to curb the spread of her evil.

But what about Zhu Yufeng... Everyone knows what he actually did and the result. There was no major chaos, and the fallen angels finally calmly greeted their own deaths as heroes. Without exception, they chose to pave the ladder for him to become a god at the cost of their own lives.

If anyone else were to come, it would probably be impossible to recruit all the fallen angels under his command and suppress the "evil" of all of them.

After all, the condition for bearing all the evils of this world is that the evil of the person bearing it has already transcended the world.

Lucifer's arrogance is above the world, and his arrogance makes even fate give in to him.

Zhu Yufeng's attitude has been very clear even after he confessed to everyone about his identity as a time traveler. He only wants to save the people he cares about. To this end, he would even go so far as to rob others of their happiness, because in his eyes, what other people are like has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care.

He wasn't like this at first, or rather, his nature shouldn't be like this. Alicia had confirmed this. Zhu Yufeng's personality was similar to Kevin's at first, but compared to Kevin, he was used to keeping a certain distance from others, and...

"His academic performance has always been much better than Kevin's, although his physical fitness was not as strong as Kevin's at that time."

According to Lilith, Zhu Yufeng's stubbornness was actually gradually developed in the really stomach-breaking environment of his previous life.

However, when Lilith said this, Su did not agree with it. He felt that Zhu Yufeng's final character was deliberately guided by Lilith. In order to distance Zhu Yufeng from Alicia, Lilith tried every possible means...

Su had also asked Zhu Yufeng about this before to verify his mentality. Zhu Yufeng just said: "Regarding this... after all, you are not me. Some of my ideas and concepts may be different from yours."

As a person from another world, Zhu Yufeng had no ties in this world. He might have had comrades who he cared about in the beginning, but... before he joined Alicia's team during the Fourth Herrscher incident, those people had already died. This had stimulated him to a certain extent and became the seed of his current character of not caring about other people's thoughts.

Calculating the time, Zhu Yufeng was only a high school student when he traveled through time. It was the time when young people were full of fantasies about the future. However, the reality of this world was often cruel. He did not have the strength like Kevin, so during the initial period, he may have witnessed the death of his comrades with his own eyes... His habit of reducing socializing with other people afterwards may have been a subconscious attempt to avoid the sadness that would come with future farewells.

Zhu Yufeng is a person who is very good at hiding his emotions. Perhaps, he may have suffered psychological trauma from the sacrifice of his teammates in the fight against Honkai very early on. However, unlike Kevin, he will not be trapped in his emotions and have the idea of ​​escaping and not wanting to face reality. He will only go to the other extreme and choose to reduce interactions with other people.

Anyway, the tragedy of restraint obviously caused him psychological trauma, and after that, Zhu Yufeng did not fall into depression like Kevin, but directly entered the devilish state Promax.

He was rescued by Alicia before the Third Herrscher incident, and was transferred from the branch to the headquarters with excellent performance after the Fourth Herrscher incident, and joined Alicia's team. According to Alicia's recollection, the branch had a very high opinion of Zhu Yufeng, and in the early days of joining Alicia's team, except for not being very keen on socializing, he behaved normally in other aspects. At that time, he could not remember people's names like he does now, which was enough to prove that his indifference and "arrogance" were not innate, and he was once a young man with high spirits.

Now? He still couldn't remember people's names!

"If he had never witnessed the light, how could he choose to fall into darkness in the end?" Lilith commented, "It is precisely because he witnessed heaven that he is willing to fall into hell for it."

Translation: Alicia's kindness to him during the period between the end of the Fourth Herrscher incident and the end of the Sixth Herrscher incident was also one of the reasons why he went crazy in the end.

The above are all Su’s judgments based on his past as a doctor.

Su now only feels sad that he didn't meet Zhu Yufeng earlier, or that he didn't notice him earlier. If he had, he would have definitely discovered the problem and wouldn't have let him become what he is now.

Defeating Honkai and saving everyone has become his obsession. If you want him to let go of all this, I'm afraid the only way is to completely defeat Honkai and make the future of mankind worry-free. Only then, perhaps he and others will be able to see the original Maple.

Su sighed again and was about to go forward with Seele to talk to the Kosmo in this world bubble, when suddenly his expression changed drastically and he opened his eyes abruptly. That familiar feeling of oppression... Vita, as expected, came.

Suppressing the urge to flee immediately, Su quietly felt the power of Vita covering this world bubble. At the same time, he was thinking about the escape route using the Thousand Worlds Ichijo to take himself and Seele if the negotiations broke down.

Of course, when Su decided to find Vita, he couldn't just consider one way out. Now in the Eigenworld, Zhu Yufeng and others were watching at all times. If the situation went wrong, they would be ready to provide support at any time.

"Oh, who was that? Isn't this another me in the world?" Vita's voice sounded behind the two of them. "Oh, did you bring Mr. Lucifer's Key of God with you this time?"

"You are the Key of God!" Seele retorted subconsciously.

"Su..." Su softly said the name of Vita that he learned when he first met her, "Or should I call you Vita?"

"Vita..." Vita put her hand on her chin and said with an inexplicable smile, "This is the first time you heard my name from someone else. Was it Mr. Lucifer who told you?"

Su frowned slightly. What was going on? Didn't Feng tell her that his experience with Vita was simulated by the Cocoon of the End? From what Vita said, it seemed that she did have that memory.

At this time, in the intrinsic world.

Zhu Yufeng fell into silence. Alicia and Lilith both looked at him with puzzled eyes. The difference was that Lilith's eyes only contained the emotion of "somewhat interesting", while Alicia's eyes contained the emotion of "after this is over you have to explain what happened honestly."

He... he was right. He really thought that was a simulation of the Cocoon of the End. And traveling through time and space sounds ridiculous, right? Resetting time and space is easy to say. If he could really travel through time and space... he would have gone back to the Seventh Herrscher incident, killed Uriel first, and then rescued Himiko.

In the quantum sea, Su stared at Vita closely, not daring to be careless. From Vita's words, he had confirmed that Zhu Yufeng was most likely given the power to reset the intrinsic world directly by the imaginary number tree. Because the quantum sea was not within the control range of the imaginary number tree, it was not affected.

The question has been answered. The next step is to consider how to escape from Vita.

Vita looked up at the sky of the world bubble, as if she was looking at Zhu Yufeng in the intrinsic world through the world bubble. After a while, she retracted her gaze, spread her hands helplessly and said: "Alas, we made an appointment hundreds of millions of years ago, but now the people present are not the real ones. However...it turns out that Mr. Lucifer was really born on Earth..."

? !

Chapter 305 Promise

"Oh, don't be so nervous." Vita shrugged and said, "If I have any ill intentions towards you now, let alone whether I can keep you here, I'm afraid that Mr. Lucifer from the Eigenworld will come and beat me up. What's more... um... 'Su' has no intention of taking action against you at the moment."

Su looked at Vita in silence. The Vita in front of him gave him the same feeling as before, but there seemed to be something more. According to what Vita said, "Su" and she did not seem to be the same person... No, according to Vita, Feng had an agreement with her hundreds of millions of years ago, but she also said that the people present now were not herself.

So can we understand it this way, that "Su" is the Vita that Feng met hundreds of millions of years ago, but the Vita in front of him is not "Su" himself, but an agent of "Su", a puppet.

"Hmm... You are worthy of being another me in the world. You figured out the key right away." Vita said with one hand on her chin. "That's right, I am not 'Su' herself, but just her agent in this quantum sea. It's not wrong to describe me as a puppet. After all, the thread that controls my body has always been in 'Su''s hand. Originally, according to 'Su''s previous idea, she would definitely use your body to enter the intrinsic world, but now she has changed her mind."

"Changed your mind?" Su frowned slightly. He could clearly feel that all his thoughts had been read by Vita, and this world bubble seemed to have been completely enveloped by the power of "Su"... So that's how it is. If I were to give an example to describe it, then "Su"'s current state could probably be considered a "herrser" of the quantum sea, right? And her power was "omniscience", which was quite similar to the eighth herrscher, but not exactly the same.

"She is actually very stubborn to some extent. It's not easy to change her mind." Vita spread her hands and said, "When you were carefully searching for special world bubbles in the quantum sea and trying to find her through it, she also found you, and then I came here."

Vita paused, then smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Of course, you are not wrong. As the Herrscher of the Quantum Ocean, Suo's power is omniscience. Of course, the ultimate goal she pursues...ah, she won't let me say it, so I can only shut up."

"How did that guy know Feng?" Seele couldn't help but ask. She didn't quite understand. "How could a guy who lived hundreds of millions of years ago know that dead wood? It couldn't be that dead wood was actually an alien who had lost his memory, right?

"That's a good guess, this... former Sixth Herrscher lady." Vita said with a smile, "Among the things I am allowed to know and say, there is indeed information about this matter. To be precise, 'Su' and that Lucifer, or should I call him Feng, have never met. For 'Su', her 'encounter' with Mr. Lucifer was just a dream she had in the past hundreds of millions of years."

"Dream?" Su repeated the word. Zhu Yufeng also said that it was a dream of his, and thought it was a trick of the Cocoon of the End. But after hearing what Vita said, could it be that when Yufeng had that dream, the "Su" in the Quantum Ocean also had the same dream? However, according to the theory of the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Ocean, this is unlikely. The Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Ocean are in a hostile relationship. How could the "Su" dormant in the Quantum Ocean have the same dream as Zhu Yufeng in the Eigenworld?

Seele, who was standing next to Su, made a soft "tsk" sound. It was really unpleasant to have all of his thoughts clearly read by the other party without him realizing it.

“What a long-lost dream… You knew it was fake, and you had already discarded the things you thought you didn’t need. But at that moment, the past was like a ghost, awakening in your decayed soul…” Vita seemed to be sighing, and also seemed to be mocking the mastermind behind the scenes who was holding the silk thread tied around her body.

Then, a buzzing sounded in her mind. At that moment, her consciousness seemed to be almost wiped out by "Su". She smiled bitterly in her heart. It seemed that she was still a little too arrogant and had slightly exceeded the bottom line set for her by "Su". Just now, that was a warning from "Su" to her.

After all, one's life is still in the hands of one's creator, "Su".

However, "Su" is indeed different from before. The previous "Su" would not care at all about any disrespectful thoughts she had towards her. Even the fact that she had developed self-awareness was not important to "Su". As long as "Su" was willing, she would be wiped out in an instant.

Mara... the "person" who used clever tricks to awaken her own self-awareness, the one whose most consciousness data was erased by "Su", even though she was turned into a monster by "Su" in revenge, she never gave up the idea of ​​escaping from "Su"'s control, even if the result of that escape was being completely wiped out by "Su".

For Mara, all she needed was complete peace and freedom from the clutches of "Sa".
