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

"Then there is only one way out." Zhu Yufeng said calmly.

The laboratory fell into a long silence. After a long while, Mei finally spoke: "Regarding everything you said, I will conduct relevant research to prove and explore it. The cycle of civilization destruction...it is indeed time to cut it off completely."

After Mei left, Mebius looked at Zhu Yufeng: "You really are still doing this for Alicia..."

"No, not just her." Zhu Yufeng said, "My goal from the beginning to the end has been very clear. I want to save all of you. Not just Alicia, but you too, Mobius. The future is another kind of infinity that you want to give to Klein, so... I also want to give this infinity to you, Mobius."

"...Yu Feng, you are still so self-righteous, you are still so...arrogant. If this world no longer has you, if countless time and space cannot keep you, what is the meaning of infinity to me?"

"..."

"I am not interested in the next generation of humans. I don't care whether they can defeat Honkai or not... Compared to the future, what I want more is the present, your existence. Reincarnation is reincarnation, at least you don't have to die..."

"..."

"…Why does it have to be you?"

"The story of Chasing Fire has changed. All the changes started because of me, and I will eventually put an end to it. I am the Herrscher of Time, recognized by the Herrscher of Man and crowned by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. This endless cycle should be ended by me. Alicia, she once promised me that we would save each other, but this time... I might make her sad again..."

"Since you know this, why..."

"Don't make that expression, Mebius. This isn't the you I know. Snakes don't cry, do they?"

"...Even if you say so...But if you still want to leave this time, how can you let me accept such a future? What kind of infinity is this? Let me quarrel with Alicia, Vilvi and the others every day, right?"

"How many times have you quarreled? Aren't there always Alicia and Lilith at the beginning of every day..."

“…Is this what you should be focusing on right now?!”

"…Sorry, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Things have already happened and we have no choice. Besides, I'm not going to die, am I?"

Chapter 328 Hope

Zhu Yufeng sat outside the operating room, feeling a little restless. He wanted to do something, but he didn't know what he should do...

"After all, Alicia is a fusion warrior. There's no need to worry too much, right?" Lilith said as she sat with her legs crossed and sharpened her nails.

"I……"

"Alright, alright. I know this is your first time experiencing something like this. Oh my, I never thought that the famous leader of the fallen angels would have such an embarrassing side." Lilith shrugged and said, "If you really can't think of what to do, why don't you go kick Admiral again?"

Yadmiller, who was sitting far away and looking disheveled, said: "..."

Still coming? And after all, he is also a fusion warrior, even if he is a little far away, he can hear what Lilith said. For a moment, Admiral wanted to tell Lilith that no matter how much you cheat me, I will run to the Aifeng Party.

"What on earth did you say to the boss that made him get angry in an instant and kick you so far away?" Nahaima teased, "If the boss hadn't been afraid of disturbing the operating room, he would have deliberately held back his strength. Otherwise, I think that kick would have kicked you right out of the Fire Moth."

"Based on my understanding of Admiral, he probably wants to give Feng's daughter a physical examination as soon as possible to collect first-hand data or something." Abaddon said while typing on the memo on his phone. "After all, this is Feng and Alicia's daughter who was born naturally. She is also the first naturally born offspring of a fusion warrior. Given Admiral's personality, it would be difficult for him not to do some research."

Nahaima was stunned for a moment, then looked at Admiral in disbelief. The other party remained silent. Nahaima opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, he could only give Admiral a thumbs up.

Dude is awesome.

I've seen people who are not afraid of death, but I've never seen someone who is eager to die like this.

That's the daughter of the boss and that Alicia, and she said this to the boss so bluntly... The boss didn't kick her to death. He just kicked her from the operating room to the wall at the end of the corridor. He was considered holding back.

Hen sat in a wheelchair, looked at Zhu Yufeng, smiled and said: "When Grayshu was born, I was even more miserable than you. When a doctor passed by, I couldn't help but want to ask him if the operation could be successful... According to the ideas of Mebius and Dr. Mei, artificially synthesized children are genetically superior to naturally born children, but... I really can't agree with them. Even if what they say makes sense, this kind of experience of husband and wife accompanying each other and waiting for the birth of a child is not something that can be missed."

Hen looked at Grayxiu beside him again, his eyes were very gentle. He reached out and touched Grayxiu's head, saying: "Grayxiu... really looks like her mother..."

"Hen..." Zhu Yufeng looked at Hen. Now, he had the ability to restore Hen's body to its best condition. After the Cocoon of the End made it clear to him that the previous civilization must be destroyed that day, he had never cared about him again, and his control over power was gradually approaching complete.

The day when the end comes is also the day when he fully awakens.

"I can help you recover your body." Zhu Yufeng said.

Hen was stunned for a moment. He knew his current physical condition well. After the tragedy of restraint, Zhu Yufeng also tried to use the Black Abyss White Flower to repair his body. However, because the scars left by the Divine Grace Barrier in his body were too deep, even the zero rated power of the Black Abyss White Flower could not completely restore his body.

What's more... In fact, it was also because he refused Zhu Yufeng's continued treatment for him. After the tragedy of restraint, it was not only Desdobia who was scarred in her heart, but also him.

He could accept his own death, but he couldn't accept Blanca's death, especially... when he knew that his wife could have survived.

He understood Desdobia, and knew that if Blanca were still alive, she would not blame Desdobia, but... that did not mean that he could accept such an outcome in his heart.

Humans are emotional animals and cannot be rational all the time. Even Zhu Yufeng, isn't he a little nervous and at a loss right now?

So, until now, Hen had no intention of curing his body, nor did he have any intention of meeting Desdobia.

"Dad..." Grayxiu raised her head and looked at Hen.

Hen looked into his daughter's eyes and sighed deeply. He said to Zhu Yufeng apologetically, "I'm sorry, Feng, I... don't have any intention of returning to the battlefield now. You don't need to worry about me anymore. It's fine like this now."

"But if that's the case, it will still be somewhat inconvenient in life, right?" Zhu Yufeng said, "Even if you recover and don't return to the battlefield..."

"No need." Hen said softly, "This is enough... Consider it my punishment for such a cowardly behavior."

"You've never been a coward, Hen." Kevin said.

"But people change, Kevin." Hen shook his head, "I no longer have the courage to go to the battlefield. I just want to live a good life with Gray Xiu."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient to heal the body?" Kevin frowned.

Zhu Yufeng just looked at Hen without saying anything. He understood what Hen was thinking.

For Hen, he really has no intention of returning to the battlefield now. He just wants to live a stable life with Grayxiu. However, his responsibility as a Fire Moth warrior and the mission he has always carried to fight against Honkai and protect humanity are also burning his heart. He keeps saying that he wants to live a stable life, but now he is still dealing with some paperwork in the Fire Moth.

Leaving scars is the punishment for escaping the battlefield.

This is a knot in his heart. Time can reverse his physical condition, but it cannot reverse his life experience or change his thoughts.

Moreover, human life and death involve mechanisms such as the soul. It is true that he can now revive the dead, and this can also be easily done by the Herrscher of Death, but the soul that has already disappeared can no longer come back, and the resurrected body is nothing more than an empty shell.

Logically speaking, my power over time should surpass the Herrscher of Death's power over life and death, and I should be able to revive the deceased and also bring back their souls. However, I currently cannot be considered a fully awakened Herrscher of the End. What's more, reviving the deceased does go against the mechanism of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

In addition, resurrecting the deceased is not something that can be done just by saying it. How do you explain it to others and why only some individuals can be resurrected? It will cause a lot of trouble in the end.

Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes, and he recalled the conversation with the Cocoon of the End that day. Before leaving, the Cocoon of the End asked him, is it really necessary to keep this civilization?

Even if the End that was born from the Cocoon of the End has become a usurper and a fake at this stage, in the previous life, that usurper should have been myself. The End in the previous life was the real genuine one. Even if the power she could exercise was not as complete as mine and she could only wash the surface, but that was indeed the End.

The arrival of the End of the Cocoon only means one thing, that is, this civilization has reached the moment of its destruction, and this civilization has failed.

He countered that the past events of The Cocoon of the End could not be used as a template this time.

But the Cocoon of the End asked him back: "Do you really think so?"

The Cocoon of the End believes that he does not love the world, but only because he loves the two origins deeply and cares about his partners who have walked side by side with him all the way, he chooses to fight against the collapse and the end.

If the will of the end can determine the survival of a civilization, then as an end himself, he himself does not recognize this civilization...how can he talk about letting this civilization stay?

Just because Siyuan cares about it, should she let this civilization go? The Cocoon of the End said that it disagreed. Siyuan was willing to embrace humans, so she deserved to embrace a better civilization, not the current one.

But it cannot be said that there was no result in the negotiation. After all, no matter what, he was the Herrscher who was directly crowned by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. He must fight to the end with the Cocoon of the End. The Cocoon of the End could not do anything to him. It was willing to give in, but it also had its conditions:

If the humans of this civilization can prove that they are worthy of being embraced, then everything can be completely settled and there will be no more reincarnation.

The way to prove it is at the time of the Final Battle.

The Cocoon of the End has been watching the development of civilization from beginning to end. It showed Zhu Yufeng everything about the development of the previous civilization to the present, including the intrigue between the Fire Moths and Mu Continent when Mu Continent was not yet destroyed, how Lionel was exhausted from fighting the Honkai and the King wanted to sideline him, or when Mobius had just emerged, the scientific community unanimously decided to exile and completely suppress Mobius in order to defend their own authority and interests without considering other possibilities, or the Fire Moth councilors who were still trying to fight for power until the Twelfth Herrscher incident.

In addition, there is also the indifference of people in today's cities to their fellow human beings who are struggling humbly in the dark corners.

There are many reasons why the Cocoon of the End is unwilling to recognize the previous civilization, but in the end it is willing to give in to it. As long as humans can prove at the moment of the End War that their civilization is qualified to continue to exist, then it is willing to embrace humans.

But if he fails, Zhu Yufeng will have to pay a heavy price.

After telling Mei some of the conversations between himself and Cocoon of the End, Mei once suggested giving up resistance and building shelters on a large scale to leave sparks for the next civilization. He found a way to veto Mei's idea because he had also told Cocoon of the End about the same plan.

The answer of the Cocoon of the End was his answer to Mei: either he died or Alicia died, otherwise civilization would remain the same even in the next generation.

Humans are born with sin. As living beings, they are not perfect enough in the eyes of the Cocoon of the End. The Cocoon of the End has witnessed the demise of countless civilizations and the struggles of countless people, but in the end, the voices of those protesters were too small compared to the entire civilization. Only when the Source, which represents the goodness of human nature, returns with wishes for the future and corrects human defects can the sins of mankind be eliminated.

This is why only when Alicia returns to Honkai can the current civilization break the cycle of reincarnation.

Lilith can't do it, because although theoretically Lilith can do it, she doesn't love humans and it's impossible for her to have good wishes for the future of humans. It's kind of her to not curse humans to be destroyed in internal strife.

But Zhu Yufeng can replace Alicia.

Because he is the end recognized by the Origin, and is the end directly connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, the civilization created by the Cocoon of the End is different from the civilization derived from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers itself, but the End of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers can also play the role of the Origin and correct the defects of mankind created by the Cocoon of the End.

The price of returning to collapse...

Maybe it's the complete disappearance of self-awareness.

"Completely...disappear..."

Zhu Yufeng thought about it and decided that he didn't completely believe what the Cocoon of the End said. Even though theoretically there was no need for the Cocoon of the End to lie to him or hide anything from him, as long as anything had thoughts, it would have intentions, so its words could not be completely trusted.

Moreover, he was named Lucifer, so what if Cocoon of the End was a god? Could it be that Lucifer would not resist because God was omniscient and omnipotent?

If you don't fight, you are not qualified to embrace the dawn.

Perhaps because of this, the Cocoon of the End gave the previous civilization a glimmer of hope. Whether or not it could seize this opportunity did not depend on itself, the End, because this opportunity could actually be considered as given by itself, but it was the humans of the previous civilization who had to seize it.

Can they catch it?

Zhu Yufeng looked towards the operating room again, his eyes full of tenderness. He said in his heart: "Ailixia, I said, no matter what happens, I will follow my promise to you and will definitely save you."

He suddenly stood up and heard the cry of a baby in the operating room, which meant that his and Alicia's daughter, Mavis, had truly come into this world at this moment.

Mebius walked out of the operating room. She glanced at Zhu Yufeng and said, "Mother and daughter are safe." Then she looked at the others and said, "I can understand that Yufeng is nervous, but why are you so nervous?"

Except Lilith, who wouldn't care about any of this.

other people:"……"

Why can't they be nervous?

"Am I going to have a younger sister?" Lilith asked, pulling Zhu Yufeng's hand. Originally, Zhu Yufeng wanted Astaroth to take care of Lilith today, but Lilith said that she wanted to see her younger sister earlier, so Zhu Yufeng brought her here.

"Well, she is your sister, and you are her sister." Zhu Yufeng squatted down, touched Lilim's head and said, "In the future... maybe you will have to take care of your sister more."

Ying, who had remained silent from beginning to end, looked at Zhu Yufeng, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

As the title says, I'm a little stuck and thinking about the development of some of the later nodes. As everyone can see, the erosion has already passed, and the next step is the End War. No matter what, it is impossible to delay it beyond September, right?

By the way, the matter proposed in the group regarding the child of Kosmo and Desdobia seems to be quite reasonable, and the Hejie Dragon and the Ice Sword Dragon are also quite suitable for artificial collapse, but this is still to be determined.

For example, I still don't know where to find a rice bucket to go with Albus ()

Chapter 329 "The Hero Who Saves the World"

Zhu Yufeng stood in front of a ruined shop, silently looking at the deserted city in front of him. The day of the end was getting closer and closer, and the compression of human living territory was becoming more and more serious. The scope of the settlements was shrinking again and again. In just one year, the area of ​​human settlements had shrunk by half.

It's not that the Fire Moths are not powerful, but because the area to be protected is too large, the fusion warriors are too busy, and the Titan troops are notoriously weak. They can only fight against offensive-level Honkai beasts and can barely cope with tank-level Honkai beasts. However, at this stage, on the one hand, the concentration of Honkai energy is getting higher and higher, which makes the Titan troops unable to fight for a long time. On the other hand, when a small-scale Honkai occurs, some Titans may become machines controlled by the Honkai.

If the Honkai Emperor appears, the Titan troops can win, but there will be heavy casualties.

The reduction of living territory has brought about the redistribution of limited resources and further intensified the conflicts of interest among the current surviving humans.

The last time I came here, it had not yet become a desolate land ravaged by the collapse. Only a few months later, the city had fallen. As other cities were approaching saturation in the number of refugees they could accept, the survivors in these fallen cities had nowhere to go and could only struggle in the ruins.

What threatens their lives is not only the Honkai beasts, but also the corrosive effects of high concentrations of Honkai energy.

In sharp contrast to the desolation here, when passing by other surviving cities, Zhu Yufeng saw that people in the high-rise buildings in the surviving cities were still living a life of luxury and discussing the distribution of interests, and he saw people in the shadows under the high-rise buildings scheming against each other for a piece of bread.

What he was thinking was, if there was no collapse, would the situation be different from what it is now?

can you?

He still remembered that the world was like this before the collapse was revealed to the world. Even though the threat of collapse was getting closer and closer, humans had not changed much. The parliament was still trying to take power away from the Fire Chaser, and the top leaders of the surviving cities were still discussing the distribution of benefits after the collapse...

Fight for all the beauty in the world, so where is this beauty?

Zhu Yufeng recalled the story that Alicia had told him about her hometown, Vostok-51. Later, they actually went back secretly once. Before the collapse spread there, the town was peaceful and tranquil. People helped each other and looked forward to the arrival of the next tomorrow.

But in the big city... Zhu Yufeng never felt any warmth. There were only passers-by in a hurry and high-level officials who were scheming against each other.

The more developed the city, the more indifferent it is.

He also once asked Alicia what happened when she was wandering around the world that made her feel the beauty of this era?

Alicia said that it was probably like a glimmer of light that you accidentally see when walking in the dark.

Just like she had actually met Paddo when she was a child, but Paddo herself didn't remember this. At that time, Paddo stole her only candy from her, and she didn't mind. But Paddo came back later to remind her not to be so naive. It would be difficult for her to survive in this city if she trusted others too easily.
